MORE YOUNGEST VETERANS" 1"
Recent Discussion Brings Forward
 Two Under Sixty

Two Under Sixty.
 That highly interesting hero, the youngest veteran of the civil war, continues to bob up serenely now and then. He seems to be almost if not quite as numerous as the last survivor . of the charge of the Light brigade at Balaklava. The surprisingly large number of men still living who enlist ed when mere lads helps to uphold the statement frequently made by indi- viduals and proved by the records of the war department that the great conflict was fought and won by boys young fellows who enlisted in their teens. The records show preponder- ance of such early enlistments.
 Last March New York paper print ed a brief obituary of the youngest veteran" who had just died at the age of sixty-two. The editor received asAoOa of communications from claim ants to that distinction. One modest veteran from Brooklyn, signing him. self simply Cavalry" wrote, q served two years and six months and am not yet sixty-twO." Then F. Blemly, Iiv- ing in another part of Greater New York, giving his birth date as Jan. 31, 1S49, came forward with this state ment: T served under Sheridan and Custer In the Shenandoah valley until the close of the war, and I have a year yet to hang on to the saddle be- fore reach sixty-two."
 Youngest Veteran Blemly was cheek mated by Charles Carr of Brooklyn, formerly of Company c, Fourth Ohio cavalry, who said he was born March

Lords and Commons.

An ancient English custom forbids the participation of peer in the cleo tion of a commoner, so that when a general election is actually in progress the lords are oratorically muzzled by a fiction that supposes them to be quite indifferent to the composition of the lower house. but until the candidates have been actually nominated the peers may use all 7the eloquence with which nature has endowed them for or against the issue involved in the ap- preaching election.

It is commonly accepted belief that nothing short of being pried loose will induce bulldog to give up his grip on another dog or on an intruder, but this is q mistake. A little household ammonia poured on him as near his nose as circumstances will allow will make him let go immediately. The fumes of ammonia are so overpower- ing that dog cannot possibly main- tain his grip and his breath at the same time. - Country Life In America.
