Pension Commissioner Ware was
sitting in his Office. at Washington
one day when a brigadier general OF
the regular army was ushered in.

"l'm that same," replied Ware.
"What can I do for you?'
II don't suppose you remember me,

Ware, taking a side look at the man
again, and then under sudden in

It seems that during the civil war
the two had been slightly acquainted,
the stranger being member of the

less fellow, wholly superior to the
little niceties of toilet and habit. He
owned bulldog named Major that
was the pet of the company.
And it was this recruit of the DAYS

in the stiff, precise garb of the brig

WHAT ELECTRICITY is.
The Result Of Splitting the Atoms OF
Elementary Substances Into
Yet Smaller Units.

What is electricity? This question
Is now answered by many scientific
men in way that would have aston
ished the most advanced thinkers of
q score of years ago; and yet their
conclusions seem to be supported by
the latest experiments, explains the
Peoples Magazine. According to
them, electricity is PURELY material,
and is the result of splitting the
atoms of elementary substances into
yet smaller units. An atomic chip,
or electron, is the unit of socalled
negative electricity" and what is
left of the atom is positively
charged" as we used to describe it.
The socalled cathode rays" are jets
Of electrons, and where these strike
a solid they. produce the explosive
ether waves that we know as Roent-
gen rays. In certain atoms, as those of
iron, the free electrons circle about
the remainder of the atom, and this
constitutes the phenomenon of mag
netism. Those who hold these views
assert that they have thus discov-
cred, isolated and even weighed the
electric substance, which may in
deed, prove to be the primordial SUBJ
stance-the "protyle''-of the phil
OsOphers.

The Thorough Job That Was Don by
= Private Under Punishment
for Misconduct.

The Eighty-eighth regiment of Ohio
State Guards in 1863 was stationed at
Camp Chase, guarding the confederate
prisoners there. In company B of
this regiment was Private Trimble,
who got drunk twice week regularly.
In his company was Lieut.. x, who
hated Trimble, and showed it when
ever chance offered, relates the Ameri-
can Tribune. ..S
At one end Of the prison was an Of
fee and storeroom where were kept
the tools and implements, which were
given out to the prisoners to be re-
turned at stated times. We
One morning Lieut.. x. was left in
charge of company B, which was de-
tailed to guard the prison, and while
walking around he espied Trimble,
who was drunk. Lieut.. K. ordered
him taken to the guard house, and
when he thought him sufficiently
sobered had him brought to the little
Office aforementioned, when he rated
him roundly for his besetting sin and
ordered him to whitewash the, Of
fee.
"Whitewash everything in here, and
see you do it right or by-you will
do it over again." every WE'LL" Trim
BILE replied, and the lieutenant stalked
away.
In the side of the office next the
pris on was small hole, through which
the prisoners made known their wants,
and through which the tools they re-
quired were passed.
While Trimble was at work near the
hole, a tall, lank confederate stuck his
head through it and said, II want a
Tax, We hyar me? Iwant a yax!" In
SANITY Trimble brought his brush
down on the protruding head of the
southerner, soaking his hair with the
soft lime, and slapping on first one
side of the face and then the other,
and filed his ears, eyes, nose and
mouth full of whitewash before the as
tonished soldier could withdraw his
head, at the same time yelling, "You
want YAK, do you? I'll give you YAK,
blast you; I'll give you yax!" He
tuen Leu the poor Fellow go, and pro-
ceeded to finish his task.
When done he had whitewashed
everything in the Office, desk, chairs
tools, stove, stovepipe, floor and win
dows, not forgetting the glass.
Just then the lieutenant stepped in;
he took one glance, and his face pur-
Pied with rage, as he gasped:
"What- the - devil - does this -
mean?"
There was a merry twinkle in Trim
ble's eyes as he replied:
ut means that have carried out
my instructions. You ordered every

stronger men in the party would form
sort of Gordon about him, that the
rough workingmen, constantly crowd
ing into the place would not knock the
tiny old soldier off his feet. They did
not know him, and would not have
cared, anyway, perhaps. What was a

general of the civil war, that he should
stand in the way of thirsty artisan

QUELLED THE MUTINY.
Interesting Incident in the History
of the Gallant Old Wnrship
HArtfOrd.

At the breaking out of the civil
war the steamship Hartford, now
lying at the navy yard, was in China.
Rear Admiral Frederick Engle was
sent to relieve Commodore Stribling,
then in command. Admiral Engle
had distinguished himself in the Mex
lean war, relates the Washington
Star. In the attack on Vera Cruz
shot from his vessel, the Princeton,
made the first break in it's walls.
Soon after he took command of the
Hartford those of the officers who
were southern men attempted to
seize the ship and turn it over to the
confederacy. Admiral (then Commo-
dore) Engle, with the assistance of
the few loyal officers and his men,
quelled the mutiny and brought the
ship, with the rebellious officers as
prisoners, safely to the shores of
America, where the vessel, afterward
became Admiral Farragut's flagship.
The late Capt. j. Edgar Engle, who
resided in this city, was nephew of
the admiral's. He enlisted in company
I, Ninety-seventh Pennsylvania volun-
teers, and served until the summer
of 1866. For distinguished bravery at
the battle of Bermuda Hundred, May
2, 1864, he was awarded the congress
sional medal of honor; and his gall
liant and meritorious conduct at the
battle of Green Plains, Va, May 20.
1864, was recognized by the governor
of his native state. He was des-
perately wounded while personally
supporting the regimental colors, re-
ceiving seven wounds, losing an arm
and being shot through the throat.
The bronze medals of the Old
Guard are made from portion of
the propeller of the steamship Hart.

science. I looked imploringly at my
husband, who bid me go and bring the

it to him he must have read my
thoughts. How I longed to tell the
poor fellow the part had taken in his
life, and ask the forgiveness craved,
for, as he took the file, he said:
my man, I am a lawyer, and
strange to say, one of those who con-
victed you, and as such should deliver
you up to justice, but for the sake of
my wife here, who was your child wit
ness, and has always grieved over your
sad fate, will set you Free"
He fixed his sad gaze upon me and
said: ''Do not trouble yourself, dear
madam, it was justice, for brought it
on myself by my rashness and fiery
temper, but God only knows how I
bless you for giving me even few
hours of freedom.
He left us and hurried away toward
his home. My heart felt lighter than
it had for years, and I prayed that the
poor fellow would have the privilege
of seeing his mother and sweetheart
again. But my hopes were dashed
away as a number of officers dashed
past the house in close pursuit of their
prisoner. They had only been gone
few moments when pistol shot rang
clear and sharp on the evening air.

Int ernal Parts in Action.

Internal parts of the living body in
action have been photographed by
DR.. P. H. Eykman. In Investigate
ing the motion of the tongue, pharynx
and larynx in swallowing, he fixes
an electric contact on the Adams ap-
pie, the movement of which closes
the current feeding the X-ray tube
at a perfectly definite moment dur
ing the motion. To get distinct
photograph it is necessary to repeat
the motion 100 or 100 times. The po-
sition of the contact is altered for
obtaining pictures of other phases
of the swallowing. Despite the diff
culties of this curious experiment,
fairly good photographs have been
made, and they throw new light on
the working of the organs of the
throat.
