charge mingled with the roar OF the
hundreds of guns.
1.-THE attack was beaten back, and
within an hour only the steady fire or
the mortars and small arms was
heard; it had been an ordeal while it
lasted.
"Gen. Beale was not long in put
ting in an appearance, and the lieu
tenant asked:
"'How did the signals work, gen.
eral?'
"'See here, don't fool with those
signals any more, lieutenant, for,
though 1 cannot blame you, the ones
you sent were wrong, for it had been
evidently decided to make a night at
tack, and they had changed their mind.
SO sent up the two blues, while your
two reds, sent as all believed, from the
same place, was the signal to attack.
THAT is what think, at least, and
1 don't want any more fool signals

THEN WE SWAN BACK.

day before we forgot that lark"
"TeH US just one more story, please,
Uncle Sam"
"Well, let's see. Did I ever tell you
how we got our sugar for our black
berries?"

well, we were camping down at Ed
wards Ferry, in Maryland, near the
baltimore and Ohio canal. Our pro-
visions came by way of the canal, and
we were sent to guard it from the enc
my. There were storehouses along
the bank, and one day when we were
swimming we discovered that the door
to one of these storehouses was un-
locked.
1--WE got inside in a hurry, and when
we found that there was sugar stored
there we were a happy set of fellows,
I tell you'll We could gather the finest
kind of blackberries on the hills. but
they were as sour as vinegar, and
we had been keeping our eyes open for
sugar to sweeten them. But how t.
get that sugar back to camp was a
question. Finally. one of the BOYS hit
upon plan, and a fine one it was.
We washed out our stockings (clean,
too), and laid them on the grass to dry
little Then we swan back to the
storehouse and filled our stockings
with sugar from top to toe!
Il tell you, it was no easy task to
swim back to camp with those stCcS x
ings in our mouths, trying to keep
them out of the water. 1t was the fun
NEST sight i ever saw. Each fellow
had his head thrown back as far as
possible, and looked for all the world
like a Newfoundland dog carrying a
bone to dry quarters!
1.-The berries tasted fine, and we
never ate sour ones after that, YOU
may be sure-not while we had stock
ings to carry the sugar in"
You didn't always have stockings.

''No, not always. had little wife
at home who used to knit them for

well as bright ones, children; but I'd
go again tomorrow, If the call came"
''Bedtime!" called the children's
mother. "Come!"
Aid soon Uncle Sam was left alone.

his old comrades of the war; and he
laughed again to himself as he pic

something unusual, isn't it?'
"Yes, guess it is. We fellows woke
one night and felt something cold

didn't take us long to discover that it
was snow. No more sleep for us that

SUGAR CURED HAMS.
nethod OF Sailing and Smoking
Which Has Been Tried with
Success for Years.

AT recent meeting of a farmers
institute the subject discussed was the
best method of curing and keeping
hams. All members agreed that the
quality of the meat depended in great
measure upon the kind of hogs and
the way they were cared for. Much
better meat is obtained from the pure
bred than the common scrub. In
order to be perfectly healthy they need
plenty Of range, with as great variety
OF feed as possible, and plenty of fresh
clear water. They should be killed in
cold frosty weather, and after scald-
ing and cleaning, hung up to cool over
night. Several methods of sailing
and smoking were presented, but the
following, which was given by farmer
who, after years Of experience, has
gained the reputation of having the
best sugar-cured hams in the county,
was accepted as the most satisfac-
tory:
Cut the meat up in the morning and
shape the hams nicely. Salt lightly
To bring out the blood, and allow it to
remain day or two. Prepare brine,
using two pounds Of salt, two ounces
OF saltpeter, two pounds of brown
sugar, one ounce Of red pepper and
hive gallons of water for each 100
pounds of meat. Let this brine, which
should be strong enough to float an
egg, stand until the ingredients have
dissolved, then place the hams in a
tight barrel and pour the brine over
them until they are covered. After
ten days pour the brine off and cover
with fresh brine prepared as the first
was. When they have been in the
brine a month, take them out, wipe
them with dry cloth, and while still
damp sprinkle powdered borax over
them, using a tablespoonful to ten
pounds of meat. A large pepper box
is a great help in applying it. Hang
them up and smoke with hickory chips
Two or three weeks. Slip each ham
into a flour sack, tie the ends securely.
and hang them up in a cool dry place
until you wish to use them. The pre-
sentative qualities of borax are recog-
nlzed by an who have tried it, and IL
IS now used in all the large packing
houses. The best meat is made of
hogs weighing $50 to 200 pounds. II
mas long been question among pro-
gressrve farmers as to whether it paid
10 produce hogs weighing over 300
POUNDS, and we are quite certain that
when the object is to obtain meat of
superior quality it does not.-Rural

SENT UP WRONG SIGNALS.
Confederate Trick on the Yankees
That Didn't Turn Out as Wen
ax Expected.

A group of confederate officers were
seen together the other night in the
Fifth Avenue hotel, New York, and
they were talking away as lively as q
party of schoolboys about the days
when they wore the gray. One Of
them, who had won his title of colonel,
says the Detroit Free Press, related
several interesting stories which the
newspaper man lurking near failed
to catch, but one of the party re-
marked:
"The colonel knows all about the
jokes on the other fellows, but is few
chips shy as to how he gave the wrong
signal at Fort Hudson, and shall give
you the story"
The colonel looked nervous, but the
speaker went on:
"The colonel was a lieutenant then.
and an officer in a light battery sta
toned at an advance post at the
confederate right, and dangerously
close to the union line.
1.-THE union troops had been directed
at night by signals sent up from vari-
Gus points around Fort Hudson, and
always some hard scrap followed
these skyrocket affairs, until Gen.
Beale, second in command to Gen.
Frank Gardner, commander of the
confederate position, decided to coun-
teract these signals.
Creeping out through the advance
post spoken of, through the ditch dug
for the purpose, Gen. Bea1e said to
the colonel here, then lieutenant:
This is the very spot to send up
signals tonight, as most of the union
signaling is done from close to your
post here
THE lieutenant agreed at once with
the general.
Now, we can utterly confuse their
signals at all other points around the
line, said the general, if you will get
some rockets ready, and if they send
up two reds, you follow with two blues,
quickly, or vice versa-see?'
THE lieutenant saw, and entered in.
to the spirit of the plan with pleas
ure.
1.-TWO nights after, when the taps
had been sounded around the union
lines-there were no taps, by the way,
within the confederate lines, as the

UP-TO-DATE PHILOSOPHY.

Present tragedy makes fine future
iomedy.
Don't cry over spilled milk-be
glad it isn't cream.
You might as well aim high as long
as you are shooting
Only fools make resolutions; only
wise men keep them.
People who do not plan their fu-
ture generally never have any.
The enmity of some persons should
but convince one that he is right.
A candie1 opinion is generally
more acceptable than candid one.
Many persons who are hailed as
budding geniuses unfold into bloom
ing fools.
Ignorance is anything but bliss to
those who are compelled to be it's
associates.
There are other things in the world
besides money-things that money
will procure.
1t is a great deal easier to be a
good critic than 80 be even a passa-
BILE performer
Inspiration, perspiration and des-
peration are the rations which make
achievement fat.
1t is a pretty illiterate man that
does not have decided opinions on
religion and politics.
Credit is a convenient garment, but
it is liable to become q little too
tight for free movement.
1t is a question in the case of some
boys whether it is better that they
should get at once to turning dollars
into sense.
Truth is stranger than fiction"
with some persons should be rem
dered, Truth is more of q stranger
than fiction"

SCIENTIFIC OBSERVATIONS.

Stellate designs on curious pebble
discs Of the Algerian Sahara are sup
posed by DIR. o. Abel to have been
etched by natural sand blast while
the stones were rolled by storms.
An ostrich never goes straight to
Its nest, but always approaches it
with many windings and detours, in
order, If possible, to conceal the To-
cality from observation.
An immense shark was caught late
ly by the marines of his maiesty's
guardship Urgent at Port Royal,
Jamaica. 1t was so big that the most
stalwart seaman aboard could have
passed through its mouth without
touching the teeth. No fewer than
AZ young ones, all alive and kicking,
were found in the mothers stomach.
The biggest tree on the face of the
earth has just been found in a wild
and unfrequented nook in California.
1t measures 100 feet in circumfer-
ence, or having a diameter of 80 feet.
This tree, fortunately, stands just
within the limits of the United
States forest reserve. It is supposed
10 DC 4,UVO years Ola, ana when our
Savior walked the earth in the Holy
Land it already had a diameter Of
about 90 feet.
Curious excrescences, resembling
rude flowers that grow on trees in
TERRA del Frego, are described by
correspondent of La Nature, Paris.
These are found TO be due to a para
site growth, but the "flowers" con-
sist OF the inner wood of the tree
which has been forced through the
bark and assumes various fanciful
shapes, often those of the classical
acanthus, seen on Corinthian capitals.
The parasite that causes the growth
is relative of the mistletoe.
