when Lee Resigned.

In "RecollcctiOns and Letters of Cen
eral Lee" by his son, Captain Il. l..
Lee a new light is thrown on the great
commander ut the time Of his resigna-
ton from the United States army. In
Il letter to his sister he says:
with all my devotion to the Union
and the feeling Of loyalty and duty Of
an American citizen, | have not been
able 10 make up my mind to raise my
hand against my relatives. my children,
my home | have therefore resigned
my commission in the army, and, save
in defense of my native state, with the
sincere hope that my poor services may
never be needed, | hope ! may never
be called on 10 draw NY sword. |
know you will blame me, but you
must think as kindly of me as you can
and believe that | have endeavOred to
do what | thought right"
That lie really did not expect to fight
is shown by the following extract from
a letter to his wife: Il do not know
what my position will be- | should
like to retire to private life if | could
be with you and the children, but if |
can be Of any service TO the state or
her cause must continue"

Cfrcumstnnf.nl Evidence.

Sir Henry Hawkins, Il brilliant adyO-
cate and one OF England's greatest
criminal judges. expressed the follow
ing opinion in his "Reminiscences"
LET me say a word about circum-
stantial evidence. Some writer's have
spoken Of it as Il kind Of dangerous
innovation in our criminal procedure.
1t is almost the only evidence that is
obtainable in all great crimes and it is
the best and most reliable. | have wit
messed many great trials for murder
but do not remember one where there
was an eyewitness to the deed. How
Is It possible. then. to bring home the
charge to the culprit unless you rely on
circumstantial evidence?
"Circumstantial evidence is the evi-
dence Of circumstances-factS that
speak for themselves and that cannot
be contradicted. Circumstances have
no motive to deceive. while human tes-
timony is too often the product of ey-
cry kind of motive"

EIsh Thnf Change COiOr.

Anglers have noticed that fish of the
same species caught in the same
stream often differ completely in color
and take protective hues that match
the prevailing local colorins Of their
homes. Herr Otto GOtthilf found by a
course of experiments with turbots
that this faculty Of changing color in
accordance with the surroundings Is
primarily due to the action Of light
upon the optic nerve. Tie light does
not act directly upon the eye, but IS re-
fected from such substances as are
around and affects the cOl0ring cells
through the nerve centers Of the fish
Proof of this was obtained by severing
the optic nerve of the turb0t. when it
was found that it no longer possessed
the power Of changing color.-Pear-
sons

After LEES Surrender.

In "Recol' rctions and Letters of Gen.
eral Robert L. Lee" Captain II. Il. Lee
describes his fathers return 10 private
life after the surrender of Appomat-
tox. He says:
"a day or two after the surrender
General Lee started for Richmond, rid
ing Traveller. who had carried him so
well all through the war. He was ac-
companied by some of his staff. On
the way he stopped at the house Of
his eldest brother, Charles Carter Lee,
who lived on the upper James, in Pow
lStan county. He spent the evening in
talking with his brother, but when
bedtime came. though begged by his
host tO take the room and bed pre-
pared for him, he insisted on going TO
his old tent. pitched by the roadside,
and passed the night in the quarters
that he was accustomed to. On April
u he arrived in Richmond. The peo-
ple there soon recognized him. Men,
women and children crowded around
him. cheering and waving hats and
handkerchiefs. 1t was more like the
welcome to a conqueror than to de-
feated prisoner on parole. He raised
his hat in response to their greeting
and rode quietly to his home on Frank
lin street, where my mother and Sis
tiers were anXiously awaiting him.
Thus he returned to that private fami-
" life for which he had always longed
and became what he always desired to
be-a peaceful citizen in a peaceful
land"

4 Costly Comma.

4 number of years ago when the
United States by its congress was max
ing Il tariff bill one of the sections
enumerated what articles should be ad-
mitted free Of duty. Among the many
articles specified were "all foreign fruit
plants" etc. meaning plants imported
for transplanting, propagation or eX-
pertinent. The enrolling clerk in copy
ing the bill accidentally changed the
hyphen in the compound word fruit
plants" to a comma, making it read,
"all foreign fruits. plants" etc. AS a
result of this simple pistake for a
year, or until congress could remedy
the blunder. all the oranges, lemons
bananas, grapes and other forelg.
fruits were admitted free Of duty. This
little mistake. which any one would De
liable to make, yet could have avoided

oil on the Coffee.

The cup of black coffee had on its
surface a little oil. This oil simmer
ed. 1t gave forth delicate, changing
colors. like oil on water. The man who
was about to drink the coffee gazed at
it with delight.
1.-THE OIL" he said, "tells me all l
want to know about the coffee. Now,
without tasting it, l am sure it Is SUI

THE whole secret OF making coffee"
he went on. "lies in extracting and re-
tanning this oil. This oil it Is which
gives coffee its aromatic and delicious
taste. This oil it is also which stimu-
lates you, which makes you feel after
YOU have drunk strong and gay.
"Good coffee-the kind with oil afioat

cooks. In millionaires' houses or in
hotels where they employ French chefs
you are likely to get it. But the aver

how to make this oily kind of coffee at

OF the many cheap and simple disin-
fectants proposed for the use Of the
people one Of the most effective Is
common SCOT. SCOT is composed OF
pure carbon and is formed by the hot
vapor of the hydrocarbOn coming from
burning fuel striking the cold walls
Of the chimney or stOvepipe and con-
densing thereon. 1t is a very light.
porous and impalpable powder and.
like charcoal, which is the same ele-
ment in q different form, possesses
the property of absorbing and retain
ing wonderful amount Of gas. The
great danger Of disease about sewers,
drains and other places is almost en-
tirely due to gas given off by decom-
posing matter If SCOT be sprinkled
about these places it will absorb the
foul gas.-LOndOn Mail.
