GEN. HARRIsoN's GRIT.
A "Reminiscences Of the Battle Of Re.
SAGA by One of the Men Who
We're There.

"Ex-President Benjamin Harrison
was as brave soldier as ever went into
battle, for as member of his regiment
saw him tried in more than one place
which put the courage of men to q su-
preme test" said Mr.. J. l.. Ketcham, q
prominent manufactures of Indianap-
OILS at the New Willard. "Mr. Harrison
really never had the opportunities that
fell to some others, but have always
been of the belief that he had in him
the elements of great military chief
tain, as we'll as of a leader of men in
times of peace.
1T was at the battle of Resaca that
saw him give an exhibition of grit that
was an inspiring spectacle. 1t was a
beautiful Sunday morning, the 18th OF
April. 1864. Our brigade of five regi-
ments was encamped on a heigh-
crowned with grove of fine trees. The.
confederates were posted on another hill
some little distance away, and this was
covered with about as dense a growth
of underbrush as ever saw. We knew
that~the guns of the enemy were con-
cealed in this thicket, and pretty soon
the word went around to fix bayonets.'
That of course, meant that we were to
charge on the foe and take his guns IL
we could. An order to fix bayonets is
one of the most serious that can come
into a soldiers ears, for it implies that
desperate fighting is imminent, and that
the hours of his life may be few. -
But most of us were young and
Jealous, and. nerving ourselves to the
bloody work ahead, We prepared to dash
down our hill, across the intervening
hollow, and at the confederates. 1t was
just at this time that Harrison, at the
head of his regiment, yelled out in his
peculiarly ringing voice: Come on.
boys, and shout for Indiana He was
answered by wild hurrah, and forth
with we charged on the run, all thought
of danger forgotten and animated by
the example Of our colonel, who ex-
posed himself with utter fearlessness.
On account of the dense underground
We were at a terrible disadvantage, nor
did we find out till later that back of
their cannon the southerners had strong
earthwOrk defenses. At first they gave
way, then they rallied and at least $50
of our brave boys went down in face Of
their deadly fire.
Among those hurt was my good
friend Maj. Daniel Ramsdell, now secre-
tary of the United States senate, who
lost an arm in the charge. didn't
mean to give you history of Resaca.

THE KNIFE RING.

thin Irvine up to heavy MARINE, can
be cut easily, thus obviating the sore
fingers which come through swapping
Irvine on parcels.
When q package or bundle is tied
the end of the Irvine is caught be-
tween the knife edge and the outer
surface of the ring proper, and by a
slight movement of the hand the Irvine
is instantly cut. BY the use of this
time and labor saving device an op-
orator is enabled to do up many more
packages with less effort and incon-
venience says the New Orleans Times
Democrat. Another merit is that q
considerable saving in Irvine is secured
on account of being able to-, cut 1t
close to the bundle Where large num-
bers of bundles are done up this is
quite an item of expense.

aNAvICAToR's INDICATOR.
Georgia Man 1nvents Instrument That
Will Determine Vessels
.. Position at Sea.

Many of those who take journey
over the ocean wonder how the Off
GERS of the ship know where they are
with nothing but compass to guide
them. Few know what a great amount
of calculation with proper instruments
is necessary before the exact position
of ship in midocean can be deter
mined. A Georgia man claims to have
invented an instrument which, when
mechanically and properly adjusted
and exposed to the sun, will determine
the position of a vessel at sea without
the ordinary calculations necessary

with few gathers at the bottom, where
it is sewed into the band, and buttons
at the top. The band to which the skirt
is gathered and sewed also buttons at
the back. The skirt part is like the or

blouse one yard and the skirt 21s yards,
or five yards in all.
Pockets may be added to any Of tho
garments to suit the wearer's taste.
The writer personally objects to them,
as they are always catching onto pro-
jections and making ugly rents. Ifyou
care more for utility and comfort than
for appearances, sew the pocket on
the wrong side.

HANDY KNIFE RING.
Simple Device Invented for the Use
Of Store Statesmen and Pack
age Wrappers.

For the use of store statesmen and
package wrapper, one of the handiest
things ever devised is the cutting ring,
which is designed to be worn on the
little hnger like any ring, and the pur-
pose Of which is to offer an ever-ready
means of quickly cutting the string
with which a bundle has just been
wrapped. While the edge of the knife
is always ready for use, it is so pro-
tected that it is impossible to do any
damage to the flesh or clothing. The
ring itself is made of hard metal
casting, polished and silver plated, and
it is not in the way or an incon-
venience to work at any time. The
knife blade is Of high quality tool
steel, hand ground to a fine edge, and
tempered to the right degree, and, it
is claimed, will keep q sharp cutting
edge for an indefinite length of time.
BY the use of this device, cord, from

the tube, G, is magnetized needle, c.,
which travels over a dial, B. This
needle is moved over the dial by the
bar-magnet, D, below it, and hence it
always indicates the level of the fluid

can be removed for filling the tank,
or the apparatus can be placed in an
other part of the tank, instead of in
the regular filling hole, in which event
it will not need to be disturbed. 1t
will be found a great convenience to
automobiles, launch users, and 9TH
ers using gasoline in quantities, as
there are no holes through which the
vapor can leak, and the tank is her
metically sealed as before.

BRACELETS AND BARE ARMS
The Fashion, bleness Of the Elbow
Sleeve Has Brought Back Into
Favor This Adjournment.

Genuinely beautiful arms are natures
gift to few women. Nevertheless. the
up-to-date girl is determined to wear
the short-sleeved bodices, and she has
resurrected the bracelet as happy me-
dunn between brief arm coverings and
lanky or unsymmetrical arms. This
bracelet she wears on one arm only,
either the right or left, as her choice may
be. Grandmother's heavy gold and
cameo bracelets are being brought from
their satin cases, where they have lain
unused so many years. Jewels, imita-
ton or real, are linked almost invisibly
to form brilliant circlet, and silver and
gold bands are favorite clasp to break
the long stretch of bare arm between
wrist and sleeve.
Fantastic as many of the new brace
let's are in their design, fiat, tight-6tting
bands are in highest favor When OF rose
gold these, bands are delicately carved
in scroll pattern and often have the
owners monogram or crest inscribed on
them. Ohey are especially charming
when 1nlaid with tiny variegated stones.
One pearl or an emerald is sometimes
set into these broad bands, and they are
worn half way to the elbow, securely
clasped to prevent their slipping, and
giving the effect of the. FASHIONED
bangle. Silver bands have birth
stone mounted on them, which is effect
i've when surrounded by diamonds.
. A bracelet to match the dog collar will
be fad of wealthy women during the
coming season, and topaz will be stone
greatly in evidence for both pieces OF
jewe!ry. A necklace of large topaz has
a bracelet of these lustrous yellow
stones set in gold and linked with tiny
gold rings. Six or eight strands of coral
beads, held together by bars of rhine
stones or diamonds and clasped by bar
Of the brilliants,, will accompany dog
collar Of coral. Jet beads are also
Joined by rhinestone bars to form brace
let and dog collar. And the very costly
diamond necklaces and dog collars have
filigrees of diamonds or diamonds and
emeralds to wear on the left arm.
There is no prettier nor safer method
for carrying watch than when it is Sc
curely set into bracelet, which is usu-
ally made of bars of gold or silver, inter-
laced diagonally, as are the iron bars Of
street car gate. These bars can DO
opened wide or closed tightly so as to fit
snugly about any wrist. Another way
for carrying watch is to have it set in q

grape is represented by a wee pearl

The Chantilly Veil.

The chantilly lace veil is very much
in evidence in Paris at the present mo-
ment, the all-over designs being large
and light, with the most intricate open
work stitches. They are from IL to
16 inches broad, and about yard and
q half long, the veil being either tied in
a big bow behind or simply caught
with a large safety pin. Brussels lace
is again becoming fashionable, and
Brussels net and lace combined, which
always enjoy a measure Of popularity,
stands very high likewise in point Of

we're attached to the sides of an arch

one shown in the picture was by far the
finest specimen. ~
AS the sponge lay in the large basin in
which it was photographed, it measured
13 inches across. and nearly 9k In
length.
When taken out of the water it had a
Shiny coating, owing to the presence of
animal matter, and a sharp fishy smell.
This smell is peculiar to all sponges In
their natural state, but with those found
in fresh water it can never be got rid of.
Moreover, the latter, when dried, are
extremely brittle, and crumble away I'M

A Locust's Breathing.

Hold a locust between your fingers
and watch the breathing movements
OF the body. Prof. Packard says:
There were IS contractions in min
ute in a locust which had been held
between the fingers about ten min
utes." How does that compare with
the number of breaths you take each
minute? Insects of swiftest fight
breathe most rapidly.-St Nicholas.
