THAT'S ALL.

Tease state to the court exactly what you did between 8 and 9 o'clock on Wednesday morning. said the lawyer to delicate-looking little woman on the witness stand.
 We'll she said, after moment $. re- fiection, T washed my two children and got them ready for school and sewed a button on Johnny's coat, and mended rent in Nellie's dress. Then I tidied up my sitting room and watered my house plants and glanced over the morning paper. Then I dusted the parlor and set things to rights in it, and washed my lamp chimneys and combed my baby's hair and sewed a button on one finer little shoes, and then I swept out the front entry and brushed and put away the children's s Sunday clothes, and wrote a note to Johny's teacher asking her to excuse him for not being at school on Friday. Then l fed my canary bird and gave the grocery man an order and swept off the back porch, and then I sat down and rested a few minutes before the clock struck g. That's all. '-Pittsburg Ga zette.

WHERE ARMIES HAVE FOUGHT.
Men Have Made War on Ice and Be-.
 meath Earth's Surface.

Men Have Made War on Ice and Be-
 meath Earth's Surface.
 When the American marines and the Colombian troops recently confronted each other at Colon it looked for a time as if q battle was to be fought on the pier of the Royal Mail Steamship Com pany.
 The pier is rather an unusual place to fight a battle, but battles have been fought in many curious places, ranging from mountain peaks to sewers, from ice fields to desert sands
 At the battle of Monterey, in the Mexican war; the Americans were able to comman the streets of the city with their artillery, but they had difficulty in dislodging the Mexicans from the houses. So the city being built of stone or adobe in solid blocks or houses, the Yankees broke through the walls from one house to another, fighting and driv- ing out the enemy, so that the battle of Monterey was largely fought indoors.
 In one of the battles of the wars of William the Silent for the independ- ence of the Netherlands the Spanish Gtlipo WCIC AiOLCi HI Oli LIC 1QyQG Zee. The Dutch came out on horseback over the ice and attacked them. This is probably the only battle in which cavalry was ever used directly against ships. Several other combats were fought between troops on the ice in these wars, and on one occasion the infantry is said to have worn skates.
 The battle of Austerlitz was partly fought on a frozen lake, and when the allies were retreating across it the shot from the French artillery, plunging in to the ice and breaking it up, caused the death of thousands of Russians and Austrians.
 Of the many underground battles which have taken place in history, the fierest was probably that of the seiges of the Haarlem in the Dutch wars. The Spaniards mined and the Dutch counterinined with equal industry, and below the ground a fierce conflict ragged.
 When the Versailles troops took Paris after the Commune they chased some of the Communist troops to the great sewers of the French capital, where some desperate struggles took place.. From the Washington Post

OF LOCAL HISTORICAL INTEREST.
Two Oil Portraits of Noted New Haven
 Men of Days of Tore.

NIGH OI OdSS OI lore.
 Of much local historical interest and attracting a great deal of attention are two fine large oil paintings in one of the windows of the Ford company s store One represents Barzillius Ben- jamin, a leading silversnlith of Connec- ticut, who manufactured silver spoons and who, to create home markets for his goods, opened a store in New Haven and one in Bridgeport.
 The other portrait presents the we'll remembered lineaments of the late Everard Benjamin as recalled by not a few of New Haven's older people of to- day, some of whom were his business contemporaries.
 Barzillius in 1881, over seventy years ago, inaugurated and established the business now conducted by the Ford company. He was a man of note and high standing in the community, and was trained silversmith of the period of Jabez Gorham, the founder of the Gorham Manufacturing company, and of the next generation to Paul Revere, who was also a silversmith. Everard, his son, began business with his father in 1884, continuing it uninterruptedly until 1873. He was a highly respected citizen, and a marked feature of his successful business career was his in tegrity and honor. In 1869 the firm be- came Benjamin & Ford and consist ed of MT. Benjamin and George H. Ford, the latter the president of the Ford company of to-day.
 These portraits are substantially framed and are in excellent state of preservation. That of Barzillius Ben jamin is the property of Miss Cotton, a New Haven lady, who is one of his de-. scendants; the other is the property of Plymouth church, of which Everard Benjamin was for many years deacon and one of It's most honored and below ed representative members These por- traits are commemorative not only of the early history of one of the most i'm portant and oldest mercantile houses of Connecticut but are links which con- meet the present business history of New Haven with that of three genera tions ago-a period during which New Haven has made great strides forward in wealth and population, as has also the great university which makes New Haven famous all over the civilized world

A SI1GGESTInM

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier: notice in yesterdays paper that the old colored slave Harry Jackson, who died in Bristol, left nearly $500 in cash, and that the judge and administrator are both in a quandary as to what ought to be done with the money.
 I would respectfully suggest that if there are no rightful heirs the money might be given to some colored church which is struggling hard to get along and doing all it can to win souls to Christ Such disposition of the money would, I think, cause the spirit of the good old man to rejoice.
