The Common Chord.

James Buckham, one of our minor
poets, put into beautiful verse an Incl
dent which occurred during the civil
war. He calls it 1.-THE Common Chord" !"
The incident was this: Two great ar
mics, one wearing the blue and one
the gray, were drawn up In prepara-
tion for battle. AS the evening fell the
bands began to play. "Dixie" by the
southerners was followed by Yankee
Doodle" by the northerners, and "Ma-
ryland, My Maryland" drew out Hail
Columbia" Beautiful Girl of the
South" W. ;''.'wered by "Just Before
the Battle. Mother" Each side mock
ed and jeered the others music and
cheered their own until the stars came
out and silence fell
Then, sweet and low, band far up
the line began to play Home, Sweet
Home" Another and another Joined
until all the bands on both sides were
playing in unison, and, stronger and
more beautiful still, the men on both
sides were singing the words. The
common chord had been struck, and
the thousands of combatants were at
one with the sentiment, There's no
place like home"

The Example of Paganini.

A story is told of how Paganini once
came into the concert room, took the
violin and touched the strings. First
one string broke, and a smile went
round the room; then another string
broke, and there was more audible ex-
preston of mockery. When a third
string broke, many people laughed out
right at his discontinue. But Paga-
mini stood forth with his violin as
though nothing had happened and
played on the one string, and the peo-
pie ceased to smile, but listened SPELL
bound. Some of those who had derid-
ed him began to weep. and some even
prayed.
Many man had fallen helpless by
the wayside when some great catas-
trophe turned the current of his life
aside. The brave man pushes forward
with one remaining talent and plucks
victory from defeat.

POULTRY POINTERS.

A safe rule In feeding Is to give
enough to satisfy and no more.
Droppings should not be allowed to
accumulate in the poultry house longer
than a week.
Bone dust supplies an abundance Of
bonemaking material and counteracts
any tendency to diarrhea.
When possible, give the poultry house
a southern exposure and furnish that
side with an abundance of light.
While wheat is one of the best grains
to feed to fowls, it should not be fed to
excess or 1t may cause diarrhea. Feed
it with other grains.
Loss Of feathers is generally caused
by want Of green food or want Of a
dust bath. Supply both, and, as a local
application, use mercurial ointment.
Breed the best flesh formers for mar
ket; then feed them up to as great a
weight as possible. Well fattened, well
dressed poultry bring the best prices.

The Indian DUCK Tr,cl<.

A little tin or earthen pan or some
times half a cocoanut shell supported
ON three stones Is filed with water on
which is sprinkled red powder, rem
dering it practically Opaque. A little
duck Of wood or porcelain Is placed
upon the surface, where 1t at first
floats, but at the command Of the per-
former suddenly dives, remaining sub
merged until again ordered to rise.
This very ingenious trick depends
upon the fact that IN the bottom of the
vessel there Is minute hole through
which passes hair. One end Of this
is attached to the duck; the other re-
mains DIT the disposal of the performer
and is attached, by means Of a pellet
Of wax. to his tomtom or to one of the
hands with which he beats It. When
he wishes the duck to dive, he pulls
the hair. When he desires it to rise,
he relaxes the pull.
There Is naturally some amount Of
leakage through the pinhole, and to
cover this the performer takes care,
when filling the pan. to accidentally (O
spill little water. The ground being
thus already wetted, the fact that 1t
gets a little more is not noticed

A Quick witted Doctor.

A certain French surgeon, of whom
The Young Ladies' Journal tells, had so
much more thought for his patient than
for his own safety on one occasion that
he resorted to an expedient which, al
though efficacious. might have resulted
in his own death.
He had been commissioned to bleed
the grand seignior and either through
timidity or nervousness had met with
an awkward accident. The point of
the lancet broke off in the vein, and the
blood would not flow.
That point must be got out somehow.
Without stopping to consider the con-
sequences to himself, the surgeon gave
his highness a violent slap in the face.
This produced the desired effect, for
surprise and Indignation on the part
Of his august patient put the blood into
violent circulation. The vein bled free
ly, and the lancet point came out.
The bystanders were about to lay
hands on the surgeon when he said,
"First let me finish the operation and
bandage the wound" This done, he
threw himself at the feet of the sultan
and explained his action.
The sultan not only pardoned him,
but gave him a handsome reward for
keeping his wits about him in a critical
moment

A STORY OF TWO FLAGS.
How a Mans Life Was Saved at the
Very Last Moment.


Very Inst Moment.
The following stirring incident of the
two flags happened at Valparaiso,
Chile, and was related at Montreal In
1881 by the Rev. DR.. ]. o. Peck. DR..
Peck said:
''The man who gave me the facts 1
am about to relate was Mr.. Haskins,
an American sailor who had sailed to
port in Chile. On going ashore, he
said, to enjoy his day of liberty he
drank a little and became hilarious.
One of the police officers, instead Of
warning him not to make a noise in
the street, drew his sword and, strik-
ing him a blow, knocked him down.
On that the American sailor got up
and knocked the policeman down in
return. He was on that arrested and
tried and condemned to be shot in the
morning Of the following day.
"Mr. Loring, the American consul, ex-
postulated with the authorities that it
would be monstrous to shoot the man
for such an offense, but they paid no
attention to him, so he thereupon made
a formal protest in the name of the
United States government against the
barbarous act. Mr.. Haskins, the sail
or, was In the morning brought out
pinioned to be shot.
GAS the English consul was prepar-
ing to hoist the union Jack he saw the
crowd in the field opposite, where the
execution Of the American sailor, Of
which he had heard. was to take place.
Rushing over the American consul, he
said, rLoring, you're not going to let
them shoot that manP
"'What can 1 dor he said. I have
protested against 1t. 1 can do no more
"Quick as thought the English con-
sui shouted, Give me your flagP And
in a trice the stars and stripes were
handed to the English representative.
At once, taking his own union jack in
his hand, he FASTENED across the field.
elbowed his way through the crowd
and soldiery, and, running up to the
doomed man, he folded the American
flag around him and then laid the IN
ion jack over it. Standing few PAGES
back, he faced the officers and soldiers
and shouted defiantly. Now, shoot, II
you dare, through the heart Of Eng
land and American
"And they dared not do it, for they
feared the consequences, so the man
was at once released. In telling me-"
said DR.. Peck, 'Mr Haskins said to
me, with tears streaming down his
cheeks even then, They loosed me
then, and, oh, how longed to embrace
those two flagsp "-Anglo-American.

learning the Game.

When that great piainsman J. B.
Hickok, better known as "Wild Bill"
came east on what he called "redhot
trail to learn something" he stopped
one Saturday night at hotel in Port
land, Me.
When he went to his room to seek
rest, he found that the adjoining room
was occupied by company of fashion
able and rich young sports of Portland
who, it did not take him long to dis
cover, were playing an interesting
game of poker for high stakes. In vain
did he try to sleep. He could not do
SO, and after all hour arose, dressed
himself and knocked on the door.
Instantly all was silent; but he in
quired politely that as they would not
let him sleep would they let him come
in and watch the game?
They did so and were impressed with
the appearance of the man and asked
if he would join them.
II will if you will post me; but, you
know, I'm a tenderfoot east" he re-
piled.
They were willing to post" him,
and, playing awkwardly, making blum
ders and asking questions, but SEEM
ingly greatly interested, he continued
to play until daylight, when he put his
winnings, some $1,000, in his pocket
Il thank you, gentlemen" he said.
"and I'm rather glad you would not let
me sleep. I'll be here until tomorrow,
so keep me awake some more"
But the players did not appear again.

Calling the Hours.

There is one place in London, and
only one, where the ancient custom Of
keeping a watchman to call out the
hours is still maintained. This Is at
New inn. which in spite of its name Is
one of the oldest inns of court. The
servants there are quite proud of the
age of the place, and it was one Of
them who said one day:
why, sir. this inn was here in the
time of Charles l."
After long pause, to allow this stun
ming fact to percolate through the brain
Of the hearer, he extended his arm and
added with emphasis:
"And 1t was here In the time of
Charles HIP
Some vague notion Of the disturb
ances which intervened between the
two relgns had probably been floating
through the mans mind, but how an
existing institution could possibly have
dated from the reign of Charles l. with
out coming down through the reign of
Charles II. he failed to explain.
Beginning at the stroke Of 10 o'clock
every night, the watchman In the yard
of New inn "calls the hour" In q stem,
torian but musical voice:
"Ten o'clock, and all's wellr'
The words are heard In the adjoin-
Ing chambers and offices. Tenants In
Clements inn, whose rooms look into
the pretty yard and garden of New inn,
may hear these words every hour
through the night If awake. = New
York Times.

SIMPLE REMEDIES.

Diluted ammonia Is good for insect
bites and stings.
A raw egg swallowed at once upon
getting fishbone in the throat beyond
the reach of the finger. it is said. will
dislodge it and carry 1t down.
A simple remedy for indigestion is
the white of an egg beaten to Il stiff
froth and stirred into a wineglasSful
of cold water. This should he taken
after each meal.
For burns and scalds. when no other
remedy is at hand. try the effect of a
piece Of rag stepped in vinegar and
bound round the scar. This is espe-
cially useful when cooking. for the
vinegar is generally at hand.
To cure a severe case of collie take a
teaspoonful Of salt in pint of water;
drink and go to bed. This is one of the
speediest remedies known. 1t will also
prove efficacious in reviving a person
who seems almost dead from a heavy
fall

A Point of Order.

One Of the conspicuous features in
the decorations of a certain official
building is a full length portrait of
George Washington. Being just be-

During a heated discussion, which in
volved the honor of the state and ma

the portrait, began in oratorical style.
