a HEROIC BATTLE.
Tie Enemy Was The Sea, and the
CoIorcd Troops Won.

A"S "s NV cths XII ~
Coiorcd Troops Won.
No engagement of the civil war was
carried Oh with more hcyoism and en-
durancc than that fought by the For
ty-ninth United States colorcl troops
after hostilitics were over. The MIaga-
zinc of American History contains an
account of the tuSslc in which the
black soldiers borc Themselves so
bravcly. The steamer Mcrrimac. load
ed with cotton, left New Orleans for
New York carrying, besides her reg
ular passengers, thirty officers and 900
colOrrd privatc8.
For several days all went we'll. Then
uhc vessel sprung alcak, fires were
dampencd and the alarm spread. Ii
WAS found thNt the iron supply pine
through which the water for the con
dcnscr was taken from the sea was
broken, ana the place of leakage could
not be reached. The passengers were
panic stricken. One small, fatAicrman
went about wringing his hands and
crying:
"-Ach, we are at the bottom of the
sea. IG we gets pack to New Orleans
will dey gil me pack my monish?'
The water gained fast. Tho only
hope lay i'll Keeping aloat until Il yes
sci could be sighted. The colored
troops were pressed into service and
proved themselves the heroes of the
occasion. ~ line of men was establish
cd from the hold to the deck, and buck
cts were passed rs rapidly rs hands
could move. On deck another line
stepped back and forth with we'll
trained military tread. The work be-
low was most c~XhaustinG. The men ut
the bottom could not hold their posi-
ton more than three minutes at n
time. They were blinded and half
stranglcd by the smashing sea water
and bruised by the Jumps of coal
which dashed about.
But no N faltcrcd, and high above
the noise rose the clear, sweet voices
of the workers, now singing an army
song, now Il CHEEKY negro melody. The
music brought new hope to the hearts
of the passengers. Hour after hour
the men worked and sang, and the sea
did not gain on them.
Two days passed, ana the drinking
water gave out. Then they could no
longer sing, ana their parchcd throats
were eased only by n scanty supply
of oranges and lemons, but still they
worked. On the third day the lights of
n steamer were seen only half IL mile
away. Rockets were sent up, and
with great difficulty, on account of
her wet ammunition, a gun was fired.
TO the dlsmay of all, the steamer pass
ed on. Quickly the soldiers formed a
line once more, and the wearisomo la
Dor began again.
After siXty-flvc hours Of bucket pass
ing n steamer was sighted which re-
sponded to the call for help, and the
waterlogged Merrimac was lowed into
harbor.

the midst OF hard labor and In the face
of death were thoroughly exhausted,
but they had not lost their light heart

ANALYZiNG MILK.
The Process In Neither Difficult nor

The Process In Neither Difficult nor
Complicated.
The chemical analysis OF milk Is not
complicated nor difficult. First the
chemist weighs n small dish, cup or
auccr and carefully notes down the
results in ounces, grains and fractions
of grains. Next he rours in some milk
to be analysed and again carefully
notes down the result. BY subtracting
the weight OF the dish from that OF
both the weight of the milk is found
and recorded. Next the receptacle il
placed over u steam jet, which cvnpo-
rates the water OF the milk, leaving
only The residue or Solids Again the
dish and its contents are weighed, and
by n simple calculation the percentage
of solids is as~ccrtaincd.
The solids" of the milk have been
found by innumerable analyses 10
average about 13 per cent, and while
the fat varies in milk from different
COWS the solids left after extracting
The fat are found to be Il very constant
quantity, seldom falling below 10 per
cent or over II. This gives the chem
iat II positive basis for his calculations
and enables him to state with great
certainty whether or not the milk has
been watered.
The fat or oil in milk is determined
by d~issolving 1t by means of ether, the
residue remaining after such test be-
ing termed Solids other than fat
The average fat or oil found in milk
from COWS Is 3 per cent, and any
amount less than 8 per cent indicates
almost TO n certainty that the milk has
been skinned. IL analysis shows Il
decrease of fat 1t indicates that the
milk has been watcred, while If fats
and other solids together are low you
may infer that the skinner has done
Its worst.

Our Cotton on Hand.

Our efforts in these columns has been
chiefly directed towards checking, if
possible, the increase of acreage by
silly farmers in cotton; we have not
thought it necessary to give any adj
vice here to the farmers now holding
their cotton. These are men of bust
ness, and are usually men with sufi-
cient grit, pluck and financial backing
to carry their points and know what
they are about. The cotton holders
that now have this matter in hand are
about as good f~inanciers, and have
abont as much collateral and backing
behind them as the bear element have.
Cotton holders know now that about
all the scary holders have been shaken
out, and that the cotton bear is now up
against the real stuff. Spot holders
are well aware of the fact that the
spinner has got to have about all the
cotton before the next crop comes in,
and it matters not whether the next
crop will be a small or a large CROP
The thing is this, the mills must run or
the walking mobs that are parading
the streets of the foreign manufacture
ing cities calling for work or bread will
wage riot. Stopping the mills under
such conditions would be equivalent to
striking a match in a powder house.

come over!

Even Experts Tricl<ed In Distin-
gushing Real From Ii Spurious.
DR.. Oliver Tonks in the outlook Mag
azine shows the difficulties of distln-
gushing real from spurious antiquities.
Here is n of his anecdotes:
AT times the forgcr is content to take
ancient fragments of ancient vases OF
~statucttes and complete them with clay
or plaster of paris. These new "old"
wares he then paints up and passes to
the unsuspecting, and sometimes sus-
pecting, purchaser as real antiques.
The story is told Of n forger in Athens
that he protested that when he had fin
ished ~''improving" an antique he him
self could not always tell where the
genuine part ceased and the false be-
gan. Under such circumstances it
may not be wondered that at times
ever experts are triclSed.
The following incident shows how
forgeries turn up in very unexpected
places: Ono hot day n party Of us were
toilinS up n steep ascent III the island
OF M1elos when we saw above us a
number of Greeks seated on n parapet
of ruins. We had been cruising long
enough among the AGgean islands to
know that these people OF the place had
seen our ship drop anchor in tho water
below and we're now waiting to sell us
antiquities. AT the sight OF these
Greeks one Of our number, a t~ireleSs
Scotchwoman, scrambled ahead of us
to the top, where we could soon see
ler, wind blown and outlined against
the blue Sky, bargaining for a vase.
When we reached the top after Al more
~!eisurcly climb she put her purchase in
my hands and asked me what | thought
of it. My hands were moist with per-
spiration from the cXertion OF the climb,
and for answer to her question 1 held
them out TO her all biackened from
graSping the vase. The sweat had at
tackled the modern paint with which IL
was covered, and by thus coming off
Oh my hands the color had betrayed its
falsity. The Whole vase had been
patched up from six or seven pieces
and then painted over to conceal the
repairing.
