SIR John MOORE.
vhs Brave Soldier Died as He Had Al.

ways Hoped He Would.
Moore was dying. Baird was Sc
yerely wounded. The early winter
night was creeping over the field Of
battle, and Hope, gallant soldier
though he was, judged it prudent ia
stay his hand. Soult had been
roughly driven back. The transports
were crowding into the harbor. II
was enough to have ended a long re-
treat with the halo of victory and
to have secured an undisturbed en-
barkation.
Meanwhile Moore had been car
ried into his quarters at Coruna. A
much attached servant stood with
tears running down his face as the
dying man was carried into the
house. "My friend" said Moore,
sit is nothing~ Then, turning to a
member of his staff, Colonel Ander-
son, he said: Anderson, you know
| have always wished to die in this
way. | hope my country will do me
justice" Only once his lips CULVER
ed and his voice shook as he said
"Say to my mother" and then stop
ped, while he struggled to regain
his composure. ''Stanhope," he said
as his eyes fell on his aid-de-camp's
face, remember me to your sister"
the famous Hester Stanhope,
Pitts niece, to whom Moore was en-
gagged. Life was fast and visibly
sinking, but he said, 81 feel myself
so strong fear shall be long dy-
ing"
But he was not. Death came
swiftly and almost painlessly. Wrap
ped in a soldiers cloak, he was car
ried by the light of torches to
grave hastily dug in the citadel at
Coruna, and far off to the south, as
the sorrowing officers stood around
the grave of their dead chief, could
be heard from time to time the
sound of Soult's guns, yet in sullen
retreat. That scene is made i'm
mortal in WoIfe's noble lines
Few and short were the prayers we said,
And we spoke not word OF sorrow
But We steadfastly gazed on the face that
was dead.
And we bitterly thought OF the morrow

bed
And smoothed down his lonely pillow
That the foe and the stranger would

And we far away on the blllow

In little town a score of years
ago there was a shiftless colored boy
named Wash Jones who after being
caught in number of petty delin-
quencies was at last sentenced to a
short term in the penitentiary,
where he was set to learn a trade.
On the day of his return home he
met friendly white acquaintance
who asked:
"Well, what did they put you at in

Kaiser Made Him One.

One day the kaiser was walking
in civilian dress when he was rec
ognized by a corporal. The en-
peror, noticing that the mans face
wore a troubled expression, ques-
toned him. For some time the cor
poral hesitated to reply, but at last
confessed that he was in love with
the daughter of his sergeant major,
but the marriage was impossible
since the girls father would have
none less than a sergeant as a SON

Cats of Other DAYS.

The lot of the average twentieth
century cat-does not compare favor
ably with that of its ancestors.
Everybody knows that the early
Egyptians held the cat sacred, and
any one injuring sacred animal
was liable to severe punishment.
Among the ancient laws of Wales
was a statute which prohibited the
slaughter of cat under a curious
penalty. The owner Of the slaugh-
tered animal held it by the tip of the
tail with its nose touching the floor,
and the slayer had to give him, by
way of compensation, as much
wheat as would bury the entire ami
NAL out of sight. The grain was
supposed to represent the amount
that the owner would lose through
the depredations of vermin by being
deprived of the cat. Saxony, Swift
zerland and other European coun-
tries also had laws enacted for the
protection of cats, which were re-
garded Of economic value.

Lost and Won at Shiloh.

Many an amusing incident OF
army life is given in Lew Wallace's
autobiography. For example, he
writes thus of tented paradise
which was lost and won at the bat
tie of Shiloh: within our lines
there was a drinking tent on which
was written Paradise 1t was taken
by the Confederates in the first
days fight, and the victorS wrote
beneath its name ELost.' BY Beau
regards order all camp furniture
was left intact, as he expected to
possess the whole field in the NOR
rows engagement. The Union
army recovered their ground by the
second days battle, the pleasure
tent was retaken, and to the tive
names was added the word Re
gained.'"

LUMBAG0.
Diet and Treatment For This Distress
ing Affection.

|
ing Affection.
This distressingly painful affec-
ton is muscular rheumatism located
| in the large muscles of the loin.
The attack usually comes on quite
suddenly, sometimes selling the suf-
ferer in the middle of a walk with
out the slightest premonition. The
pain is intense and is increased by
the slightest motion of the body.
The victim of lumbago or any
other form of muscular rheumatism
becomes painfully aware Of the fact,
which perhaps he had not before
realized, of the great hexibility of
the body and of the intimate rela-
ton between the different parts of
the body, for it seems impossible
for him to make any motion what
ever of the head or of the arms
without feeling a sharp twinge in
the back. He dare not turn in bed,
lift his head or even raise his arms,
for every movement seems to be
originated and performed by the
sore back muscles.
There may be a little swelling of
the affected region, but usually
there is no external sign of the
great well of misery lying just be-
meath the skin. The pain lasts
few days or a week and may then
disappear as rapidly as it came, al
though there is often considerable
soreness or an occasional twinge for
a day or two.
Lumbago may be distinguished
from pain in the back due to other
causes by the fact that the agony is
extreme whenever the slightest
movement is made and is absent or
at least bearable when the patient |
lies perfectly quiet in bed, and also
that the muscles are tender when
gently squeezed. The affection is
more common in men than in wom-
en- and attacks adults chiefly, the
muscular rheumatism of children
taking the form usually of wryneck.
Why this should be so it is difficult
70 say.
Lumbago occurs more frequently
IN equity persons, although that is
no explanation, since we do not
know why the loins should suffer
n equity individuals more than the
of the neck.
In mild cases the drinking of an
abundance Of water to which some
baking soda is added may give a
Of relief. Gentle rubbing
Of the parts with a cloth dipped in
and hot water will often
mitigate the suffering, and after the
cloth wet with this
solution may be laid on the parts
md covered with a hot water bottle.
The diet should be light, without
neat or highly seasoned food and
without beef tea or meat
,roths of any kind. The bowels
should be kept open,
One who is subject to lumbago
hould he careful to avoid a chill
md should live frugally, drinking
'nly plain water or milk.
Sometimes the attacks are pre-
-ented or made less frequent by the
wearing of a broad flannel belt over
he underclothing.
