AFTER THE BATTLE.
An Incident That Seemed to ExpIai
 Joshua's Miracle.

An Incident That Seemed to Explain
 Joshua's Miracle.
 There was an incident in our life at Brandy, connected with Gettysburg, which is worth relating. Batchelder, whose map of the battlefield of Gettys- bury is authority and whom we had fallen in with while we were there, asked to join our mess at Brandy when he came to the army to verify the DO sftions of the various commands. One night we had just sat down to dinner when he entered our big hospital tent, quite tired.
 We'll" he announced after taking his place at the table. Il have been down in the Second corps today, and l believe I have discovered how Joshua made the sun stand still first went to - regiment and had the officers mark on the map the hour of their position at certain point. Then went to - regiment in the same bri- gade. They declared positively it was one or two hours earlier or later than that given by the other. So it went on, no two regiments or brigades agreeing, and if hinted that some of them must certainly be mistaken they would set me down by saying with severe dignity. We were there, Batch. elder, and We ought to know. guess, and made up my mind that it would take day of at least twenty hours instead of thirteen at Gettysburg tC satisfy their accounts. So when Josh ua's captains got around him after the fight and they began to talk it ovel the only way under the heavens that he could ever harmonize their state ments was to make the sun stand stil and give them all a chance"
 Any one who has ever tried to estab fish the exact position or hour wher anything took place in an engagement will confirm Batchelder's experience and possibly. if not too orthodox, ac cept his explanation of Joshua's feat Morris Schaff in Atlantic.

prinkinc Cups of the Aneients


 Silver cups made by such famous workmen as Myron, Myos and Mentor were preferred to gold cups. They were very beautifully engraved and of workmanship which has never been equaled. When gold cups were enrich ed with precious stones they some times became peers of the engraved silver vessels. Of all sizes, shapes and designs were these drinking cups, and their value was measured more by their form and design than the mate rial of which they were made. Some had two handles, some only one and some none at all. They were large and small, low and tall, narrow and ob- long. They were purely the product of the varying fancy of that prodigious age, which. seemed to scorn uniform ity. The early Greeks and Romans drank hot water from cups, as we now drink coffee and tea, these beverages being unknown to them. Coffee origi- mated with the Assyrians, and tea was first used by the Chinese at a very early age.-National Food Magazine.

The Connecticut Fair.

What is said to be one of the smart a part to the Connecticut fair, to be held at Charter Oak park, Hartford, September to II In charge of F. M Ware. whose name as that of an exhibitor of show horses is we'll known all over the United States show, will offer one of the finest collections of harness and saddle horses to be gathered at any one track this season. Superintendence of the show will be in charge of the three well known Connections horsemen. Walter l.. Goodwin, Herbert L. Camp and Samuel Russell. Jr.
 The immense popularity of the show horse was very ably demonstrate at the fair last year, when, to the sur prise even of the experts, the show seemed to arouse even more enthusiasm than the familiar trottinR and pacing races, ever dear to Connections sports men, the popularity reaching from the society women in their boxes to the ragamuffin hanging over the rail of the track. "One of the smartest exhibitions ever seen in Connections, :" was the characterization of one on- locker, and his remalk seemed to be more than justified
 Naturally the best efforts of the fair management are to extend this season on the center of popularity the horse show-and not only are the efforts of the horsemen of the state being enlisted, but MT. Ware, work l ing in the interest of the show, is vi iting the finest stables of New York, Newport. Long Island and Westchester, and the blue ribbon win ners of the shows in those places are promised for the Connecticut ring Trappings of the finest are natural accompaniments of the aristocrats os the horse show ring, the spectacle of the sleek, high stepping animals, with glistening brass and silver trimmed harness, with cleRn-cut traps and phaetons and with a background of thousands of we'll dres ssed people being sight never to be forgotten.
 A number of specially spectacular classes are to be introduced this year, including tandem and four-in-hand classes The ladies phaeton class, won last year by the unconquerable Babbette and Babinette, will form another beautiful class, while the coach horses, pairs and combination horses, are such as will attract un- usual enthusiasm. Saddle horses, with the coming of the automobile, which has decreased the interest in driving, are more popular than ever, and a number of classes are to be offered. including 8 special prize of $1OO offered by the American Saddle Horse Breeders association.
 Ladies' saddlers will also furnish a striking class. 1t is not only show horses which will have their innings, however, but the farm horse, dIaught horse, the children's pony and the polo pony, the whole forming, as is intended, representative collection of horses of America.
