CzAR MADE A COCKTAIL.
New York Doctor Taught Him the
Trick and He was an Apt Pupil.

1.-The present Car of Russia learned
the art of making an American cock.
tail from an American physician
said a man in an uptown saloon where
he was slipping the old fashioned tip
pie. II have that from the physician
himself.
Not only that, but I slipped a cock
tail made from the same formula, out
of a handsomely carved cup which bore
an inscription from the donor, who at
the time was Czarevitch, and which
had contained the stirrup cup drunk at
the last meeting between the Russian
heir apparent am the American doc
tor.
The doctor was a few years ago
practising in a city in western New
York. He was once an attache of the
Rupssian court and had some appoint
ment, L have forgotten what, later on.
One evening when he had been call
ed to see the Czarevitch the talk ran
to American drinks. The new doctor
carried his own stock of American
liquors He spoke of the American
cocktail which, at that time. was the
most called for mixed drink at the bar.
THE CZarevitch was amused at the
name. He thought it was a joke The
Yankee doctor assured him it was not.
THE Czarevitch said he would like
to try the drink. The doctor brought in
his ingredients and prepared a cock
tail in the presence of the Czarevitch,
who was intently interested. When he
had tasted it he went into ecstacies
and called for more.
After he had sampled several cock
tails he proposed to make the mixture
and learned with much more
ease than he has learned some other
things since.
when the American doctor was
leaving st. Petersburg the Czarevitch
had assembled the throne. The physi-
clan asked leave to pay his respects
and was accorded an audience
THE Emperor reminded him that he
was an expert in mixing the American
tipple and thereupon they repaired to
a private room where the Car of all
the Russias produced some American
Whisky and the ingredients necessary
to work out a cocktail. The Car mix
I'd drinks for the two like a regular

THE Gar assured the doctor that it |
vas the greatest bracer he ever took.
But then, you know, royalty lays on |
is praise and compliments with a |

-bly the only American who ever had

A lively cavalry raid in the vicinity

Tenn He says Col. Feeling Nurse was
commanding his regiment at the time,
and it was in camp near Bolivar. Guer-
rilla bands made frequent incursions
in that vicinity, and one night the post
known as mill post was fired upon
and captured. The men comprising the
post were turned loose, but the confed-
crates kept all the guns and equip
ments. These descents were of such
frequent occurrence that Col. Nurse
determined to put stop to them, and
although it was raining, he mustered
about 800 of his men and pursued the
enemy. On the second day the colonel
and II of his men who were in advance
of the column came to a house on the
right of the road. This was near a
town known as Salisbury.

A REMARKABLE CHILD
CzARoWITZ OF RUSSIA DEvEL-
oPING sPLENDIDLY.
Contrary to Stories Circulated Some
Time Ago That He Was Defec-
tive, He Manifests Great
Precocity

A short time ago the story gained
wide circulation that the czarawitz,
the only son of the car of Russia and
heir to the. throne, and over whose
advent such rejoicing took place in
Russia two years ago. was deficient
mentally and physically; the story
going on to say that the child, al
though now over two years old, had
not talked or walked and seemed not
only to be dumb, but. deaf as well.
At the time this report was going
the rounds of the newspapers, a pic
ture of the child was printed which
told another story, and made it hard
to believe that so bright and beautiful
looking a baby could actually be lack
ing in physique and mentality. As
Ear as one could judge from the pho
tograph, which was said to be one of
the latest taken of the young heir,
and from which the splendid line draw
ing herewith produced was made, the
son of the Russian ruler possessed a
well-molded body, pretty head, poised
gracefully on sturdy shoulders and a
gence and amiability.
And now in harmony with the ap-
pearance of the picture another story
is being told of the precocity of the
little cZarawitZ. At the age of IA
months, it is said, he could already
distinguish his nurses by name, and
| now begins to spout Muscovite nouns
of 25 consonants, koks preferred.
Near the battlefield of Lobovitz, in
Bohemia, they have a brook that flows
along for a couple of yards without
| any vowels at all. The Brotlenka, or
something worse, but the heir of all
| the Russias would probably manage to
| pronounce it.. He can also fac-simile
kitten nevis and initiate caterwauls
I-Wagnerian efforts perhaps excepted.
When brigadier generals strut into his
presence he scrutinizes them with a
| sort of geological interest, and after
| handling their sabers will walk
around to see if nature has developed
| brass tackle on both sides.
Two years is a little early for an es-
cort of pedagogues; but this little
Muscovite has already four of them,
| including a supervisor of his gym

horse tied close by which belonged to
the enemy, and, mounting the animal,
rode to the top of the hill. Coming
near to where the firing was, l found
Col. Nurse alone and two copfederateS

about 40 yards of him when his horse

and drew another pistol

ground from my horse, and was trying
to shoot one of the enemy But one of
them ran away and Col. Nurse was
taking aim at the other, and had
clipped a wisp of hair from the left
side of his head, when he surrendered.
Upon examining the co1oneI's pistol it
was found that one of the bullets fired
by the confederates had hit 1T in the
center of the muzzle, thereby dis
abling 1T. The colonel asked him why
he did not shoot some more before
surrendering. He replied because he
knew if he had continued to shoot the
colonel would have killed him. We

HIS HEAD BLOWN OFF.
Former Wearer of the Gray Tells Of
the Tragic Death of Comrade
During a Desperate Charge.

An account of a tragic wartime L 7p-
pening is related in the National Fri
bune by Corporal Eugene O'Connor, of
Georgia 1t is as follows:
With more than 40 years between
him and the events of Malvern Hill,
Capt Warren Mosely, confederate
army, was standing on the curbstone
brooding over the death of a soldier
in gray, wondering who it was who
stood foremost in a charge of a Louis
lana brigade with fixed bayonet, ad-
vancing up the hill and across a clover
patch, when a shell from a gunboat in
the bay took of his head and spat-
tered his brains and blood all about
the uniform of Capt. Mosely, himself
advancing through the thick rain of
shot with his Georgia brigade.
Il turned suddenly at the terrible
conclusion caused by the proximity of
the shells trail of DEATH said Capt
Mosely, speaking of the incident, '.and
saw that man standing headless, with
bayonet drawn as in the charge, his
blood squirting high in the air from the
jugular vein, and it seemed to me an
hour before he reeleo and fell, still
holding on to his gun. To me that was
one of the most horrible sights of the
period l went back and looked at
him after the fight to assure myself
that it was not dream of frenzy in
those exciting moments He was there
as l had seen him fall, and more tnan
40 years have passed with that pic
ture forever impressed on my mem
ory.'
Capt Mosely was thus relating this
story on the street corner to an inter-
tod 49, -

was, but while he was talking he had
not noted that listener in this group.

a gray-haired man, himself a man of
those strenuous times, now growing
pale and tremulous as the grim tale
was reeled off. This listener then asked
where the Louisiana brigade had en-

went over this part of the story again

THAT was my brother" said the
pale man, and the one described the
affair with such precision as to con-
vince the other that they had the
identical incident fastened in their
minds. The interested and saddened
speaker was R. w. Jemison, and it was
his brothers blood that had been min
gled with Capt Mosely's on the uni
form of the latter at Malvern Hill
when the one was killed and the other
was badly wounded in the rain OF
shells. Both Capt. Mosely and Mr.
Jemison have been citizens of Macon
many years, but they had not known
all of this one of the many -unwrfttel
tragedies of the civil war.

CHINESE AS SLOW AS EVER
Agricultural Machinery Is a Rarity

Country.

In the agricultural sections of the
entire Yangtse valley there is prac-
tically no use whatever for foreign
agricultural implements. The Chi
nese laborers in the rice and cotton
fields, in the mulberry groves and in
the gardens find the Chinese imple-
ments of greater utility than any OF
the foreign and adhere to them. The

greater weight of metal than the for

All the ordinary hand implements

structed according to Chinese taste.
Agricultural machinery is not used
in this section, even the pillow being
a great rarity. The Chinese turn over
