, "reminiscences of the COS.

A soldier of the COS, come what
might, was not given to whining
about his hardships. He might
grumble a little that Smith was
'tplaying off, to get out of picket
duty in windy, wintry weather. or
that Sergeant Jones was saving the
best cuts Of beef for his mess, but
.Ahe'd gone to be soldier and
soldier he would be until the JoD
was finished And now when COM

Eight their battles Ger again,

certain senatorial plea for pensions,
these miserable relics of former
generation" left over for the inspec-
ton of the curious, like those rem
nants of long-gone glory, the fold
ed battle flags at the state house,
standing in idle silence and crumb-
ling to decay, indulge little in talk
of their Sacrifices" By the way,
. Z
one of these old Boys-quite an un-
reasonable grumbler, let me say IN
confidence--averred the other DAY
that he didn't find pleasure In at
tending his own funeral though the
eulogy be fine. He declared that
after the Memorial day orator had
| in phrases of most kindly elo-
quence, assured the "fast thinning
ranks that they would soon fan
| in" for the last time, that they were
fast marching, no lettering, In seniie
| weakness to the grave just ahead

too, if they hadn't been so awfully
slow about it,, that they must nave

may be, get decently buried and
have the stars and stripes elegant

true no doubt, but that when he

feeling half sick and ten years old

show-warrior was he in his coarse
loose blouse and pants showing
stains down the front, perhaps, of
frying-pan extract of bacon and
touched with a shade of Confeder-
ate clay gained on muddy march
and nights on guard. His heavy
/ black felt hat turned up on the mus
ket side had sometimes top yentila-
ton and the like of his cowhide
"gun-boats" 1t would now be hard
to find.
Look him over-the foot-fighter,
I mean as he stands In line waiting
for the order Forward march" The
night he has passed in the shelter
OF rail-fence by the side OF the
road where halt was made the ev-
ening before and as water was
scarce there has been little chance
to wash up before his breakfast OF
bareback and black coffee. The lat
ter was made in his tin cup, much
battered by many grindings of cof-
fee with a big stick and blackened
with smoke of hundred camp-fires.
This useful bit of tin-ware has serv-
ed as potato-cooker, meat-boiler

various other purposes. AS a

A hundred years ago the Rev. Timo-
thy Dwight commented complacently
on the benefit to Connecticut from the
draining away to the frontier-then
western New York-of the restless
spirits who chafed under the rule of
the old families and the Congregation
al clergy, writes Professor Edward
Alsworth Ross in the Century. 1t new
er occurred to him that these insur-
gent spirits were carrying with them
to the wilderness precious energy
and initiative. The unprosperous. the
shiftless and the migratory sought the
frontier. to be sure. but the enterpris-
ing, too. were attracted by it. The
timorous and cautious stayed and ac-
cepted the cramping conditions Of an
old society, but those who dared take
chances, to place a bet on them
selves" were apt to catch the western
fever

On one occasion a native in Kali.

small sum of money. The community
was indignant and determined that the
guilty party should be punished. The
day of the trial came; the testimony
was conclusive: the judge closed his
charge. reminding the jury that 1T
takes nine to convict" for a three
fourths majority was required instead
Of unanimous jury. 1t was thought
that the twelve might decide In the
box. but the Hawaiian likes form. and
they gravely withdrew to the jury
room. They were gone an unconscion-
able time. At length the judge, impa-
tient. sent to find out what in the
world was the matter and discovered
this predicament: All twelve were for
conviction, and no three could be In
dnced to vote for tho defendant.

Diamond cleaxIna.

The art of the lapidary is one Of the
most delicate employments of mechan-
cal force known. The practical dia-
nond cutter learns many facts about
precious stones which are sealed books
.ven to mineralogists. For instance,
is the lapidaries who have found
,ut that diamonds coming from the
different districts vary remarkably in
their degrees Of hardness. 1t appears
hat the hardest diamonds come from
New South Wales. An unfamiliar fact
8 that diamonds are made to assume
approximately the required shape by
Sitting and cleaving and by "bruting,"
which Is the rubbing of one diamond
against another. before they are sub
mitted to the polishing wheel. In
sleaving the diamond il cemented on
the end Of a wooden stick and a steel
blade Is driven with a smart blow In
the direction of the natural plane of
cleavage. Diamonds that have been
cut by the lapidary's wheel lack some
,f the brilliance possessed by those
that have simply been cleaved.-New
York Press.

One trick Of the trade was taught to
the young butcher by the marketman
who gave him his first employment.
rhe old dealer pointed to trays Of beef,

sounter.

waste that has been cut from their
own meat wrapped up with their order
be sure to put in few Of these trim
mings besides" he said. "Mcst always
they want the scraps sent home so
they can weigh the whole business and
ind out whether they are getting full
weight or not. Enough extra pieces
to tip the scales half an ounce beyond
the supposed weight won't hurt any
body and will give US good name"

heard one frugal housewife say to an
other: "Oh, why don't you trade at

Few repairs are more conspicuous or
annoying than ugly patches on screen
doors or windows. When a screen is
broken first make the broken place a
neat. trim oblong hole with wire cut

patch two inches larger than the
opening. Ravel the wires for half an
inch all around this piece and bend the
wires thus left at right angles. Hold

the bent wires through the screen and
secure the patch by bending the wires
back evenly and smoothly. The patch
