The Man BEHIND tho Fire.

A worker at the Sailors Mission
in East Boston has story Of hero
ism to tell. One night in January q
fireman ON one Of the ocean steamers
walked in the darkness down into an
open hatchway.
He fell into the hold, broke his leg
and received other injuries. His out
cry brought group Of stevedores to
his help, and they were excitedly dis
cussing what to do for him when 1t
became evident that he was trying to
speak.
BE quiet, boys" said one of the
men. Maybe Jake's wanting to send
a word home"
But it was not of home poor Jack
was thinking, even in that moment of
agOnizing pain.
Tell the fifth engineer to look after
boilery he whispered
That is the sort Of fidelity and cour-
age to put to shame the theorists who
would have us believe that self-inter-
est is the only motive that rules men
In the workaday world.

Afro with Thought.

A recent book, 'Out of the Past,
states that a lecture by Emerson
marked the awakening Of President
Garfield's intellectual life.
He was a young man, and Emer.
sons personality no less than his sub
tie thought affected Garfield so pow
erfully that when he came out Of the
room in which the lecture was deliv.
cred the whole mountain that rose
over the town seemed to be ON fire
Yet on being questioned as to what
1t was all about, Garfield, in telling
the story years after, said that he was
unable to recall more than a single
sentence: Mankind is as indolent as
it dares to be-"
He was not certain that he recalled
that correctly.

Damp lampblack will ignite from the
suns rays. The same can be said of
cotton waste moist with lard or other
animal oil. Lampblack and a little
oil or water will, under certain con-
ditions, ignite Spontaneously. Nitric
acid and charcoal create spontaneous
combustion. New printers ink on pa
per when in contact with a steam pipe
will ignite quickly Boiled linseed oil
and turpentine in equal parts on cot
ton waste will ignite in a few hours
under a mild heat, and will in time
create enough heat to ignite sponta-
neously. says Casters Magazine. Bit
luminous coal should not be stored
where it will come in contact with
wood partitions or columns or against
warm boiler settings or steam pipes.
This coal should not be very deep If it
is to be kept on storage for a long
period. II piled in the basement of
building it should be shallow and free
from moisture and under good venti-
lation. That liable to absorb moisture
should be burned first. If on fire a
small quantity Of water showered on
this kind Of coal cokes it and retards
any great supply Of water reaching
the fire, thus necessitating the over
hauling of the pile. Iron chips, filings
or turnings should not be stored in a
shop in wooden boxes. The oily waste
which is not infrequently thrown
among them adds to the danger of
fire from this source. The sweepings
from the machine shop, IL kept on
hand, should never be placed over iron
shavings. This mass of disintegrated
iron is enough to incite heat and COM
bustion. Iron and steel filings and
turnings when mixed with oil will
ignite spontaneously after becoming
damp. A steam pipe against wood will
cause the latter to ignite spontaneous
ly after being carbonized, particularly

Tn. F,r.t Bu,l Run Battle.

The first great battle of tie war,
as every child knows. was most disas-
trous to the Union forces. For some
time the news Of so serious a reverse
had the most depressing effect on the
North, and it brought corresponding
elation to the people of the South.
But looking back at 1t from this dis
tance, we can laugh at the many
funny incidents of which the famous
battle was so prolific.
A zouave, who had been in the Bull
Run fight, was recognized some days
afterwards near his old haunts at
Washington Market, New York.
what In thunder are you doing
here? asked an acquaintance who rec
ognized the man "Have you got IL
furlough?"
NAV, nary furlough," replied the
zouave. Il got word to retreat in a
big hurry at Bull Run. and, as no one
didn't give me no order to halt. I've
KEEP on retreating, till 1 struck home;
and now I'm goin' to stay here till
get my wind back and my nerves set
tied again." and no doubt he kept his
word.
A pack Of cards saved the life Of a
soldier of the First Connecticut at
Bull Run.
1t stopped right in the center of the
ace Of hearts. The young man had 81
Bible in his knapsack, and on the hur-
ried retreat that, too, stopped bull
let.
He wrote to some of his friends
at home who contemplated volunteer
ing to be sure and lay in supply Of
Bibles and cards. and to carry one
over the heart and the other beneath
the shoulder blades.
An Irish soldier who was severely
wounded In the left breast at Bull
Run, gave a reply to the doctor who
was attending him. which in brevity,
pathos and humor is unmatched.
Doctor-You're very badly hurt, my
man.
Irishman-I feel as If 1 was. sorr
Doctor-The wonder to me is that
that bullet did not strike your heart.
Irishman-It couldn't, sorr; for me
heart wasn't in its regular place about
that tonne.
Doctor (smilingly)-Where was 1t?
IriShman-In ME mouth, sOrr.

The Army Ambulance System.


The founder of the army ambulance
system during the Civil War was DR..
Henry Ingersoll Bowditch, of Boston.
In his Life and Correspondence y
edited by his son, the story is told of
how this man Of peace promoted one
of the greatest army measures of our
times
Doctor Bowdltch had been TO the
front early in the war, and had seen
the brutality and carelessness from
which the wounded soldiers suffered
sometimes more than from the dam
gers of battle. He discovered that the
ambulance drivers were a miserable
set of men. When he returned to Bos-
ton he appealed to the Society for
Medical Improvement, and was sup
ported by the Boston Medical and
Surgical Journal.
The matter of an organized ambul-
ance system was Laid before Con-
gress. To Doctor Bowditch's dismay,
when the bill had passed the House
and went to the Senate in February.
1863, Henry Wilson, Senator from
Massachusetts,. opposed the measure
as the notion of an impractical en-
thusiast. Worse still, Charles Sum-
ner, who as fellow abolitionist was
Doctor Bowditch's friend, kept silence
and allowed the measure to be de-
feated.
Doctor DOwditch meanwhile took
every opportunity to preach to the
graduating students of the Harvard
Medical School their duty. If they
went to the front, to do all they could
for MANNED and dying soldiers.
In the midst Of his work his own
son was fatally wounded at Kelly's
Ford. The word came only three
weeks after Wilson had crushed the
bill Doubly stirred, Doctor Bow
ditch published a Brief Plea for an
Ambulance System
Senator Wilson thereupon offered to
introduce bill for an ambulance de-
partment of men drilled to take care
of the wounded. Bowditch's work
was accomplished, and he always felt
that the death Of his son had been
a bugle-can rousing him to effort after
the first defeat.-YOuth's Companion.

| Of them, to take cognizance of the
heavy rain that was falling.
Anderson noticed little distance in
front good-sized fire with a log be-
fore 1t on which were seated two or
three figures with their rubber ponchos
over their heads and with their feet
to the fire. He went toward the fire
and the men on the log sat like stat
ues, the rain beating on the rubber
blankets. Not one of them made a
movement to indicate that he was
alive. Anderson asked If he might
make coffee at the fire. and one of
the men, without turning his head,
said yes
"Soon after. an artilleryman came up
to make coffee and he proceeded to
make it without asking permission.
He was in state of mind over the
difficulty his company had met with
in bringing forward the guns, and he
swore at all the officers from General
Meade down, for bringing men into
such place, and pronounced them all
thick-headed blunderers. In the midst
of the TRADE, one of the men on the log
threw back his pOncho, and General
Russell in command of the division
