since, for my own experience told me
how extremely vigilant were the Fed

prove impossible to penetrate their
lines; hence, everything must depend
upon my getting through in safety.

Waste Paper In Paris.

Paris police give strict attention to
the act against throwing waste paper
and refuse upon the streets. An alb
seht-minded old gentleman carelessly
dropped a hundred-franc note from
his waistcoat pocket, whereupon a
%sharp-eyeG policeman requested the
old gentleman to give him his name
and address or submit to arrest. But
when the offender reached into the
gutter and picked UP the waste paper
and opened 1t before the policeman's
eyes he was let off with an apology
and a profound bow.

Builders Of carnarvon Castle.

EAha
Carnarvon castle is full of interest
not only for the archaelogist and stu.
dent of medieval military architec-
ture. but also for all engaged In
the economic Interpretation OF history.
Fairly complete accounts are extant
OF the money expended on wages and
material during the building of the
fortress. The highest wage paid to
the workmen was three pence a day to
skilled a~rtificers. two pence being
more common, These artisans were

Man and His Happiness.

Man is the creator of his own hap
piness; it is the aroma of a life lived
in harmony with high ideals. For
what a nan has, he may be dependent
on others; what he is, rests with him
alone. What he obtains In life is but
acquisition; what he ~attains, is growth.
Happiness is the souls joy In the pos

Self Control. by William George Jor-

To Give Prizes For Essays

The Anti-Saloon League of Maryland
announces that three gentlemen especial
ly interested in the scientific and health
aspect of the temperance question have
contributed $4,000 to provide prizes and
pay the necessary expenses of the con-
test in every public school in Baltimore
City for the best essays upon the sub
| ject:-'The Effect of Alcoholic Drinks
Upon the Human Mind and Body.
Instruction on this subject is required
by law to be given in the public schools
of Maryland. This instruction is begun
in the fourth grade and as large pro-
portion of the children of Baltimore do
not got beyond the fifth grade the League
makes one group of the fourth and fifth
grades, and second group of the SIXTH
seventh and eighth grades and will give
prize of $500 for the best essay on the
above subject from each group in each
of the one hundred elementary public
schools of Baltimore.
Four district prizes of $25 each for
each group, or eight in all, will be given,
the essays winning the various school
prizes to be automatically entered in
their respective groups and districts,
the winners in each district to be COM
petitors for a city-wlde prize of one
hundred dollars ($100) offered for each
group
In addition to all this, twenty-five
dollars tS25) will be given for the best
essay from each of the five secondary
schools of the public school system, viz.
the two Female High Schools, the City
College the Colored High School, and
the Polytechnic Institute, the winners to
be candidates for a third city wide prize
of 500.
There will not be involved in this
contest any mention of the moral side
of the temperance question, or of the
saloon or of any temperance organiza-
tion, or of local option or prohibition OF
any other political phase, but it will be
strictly confined to the scientific and
health aspects to the liquor question.
1t is the desire and purpose or the
League to extend this contest to cover
all the private and Independent schools,
including the Catholic schools of equiva-
lent grade, in the city and then to ex
tend it throughout the State provided
sufficient funds can be obtained for this
special purpose.
The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union and the Prohibition Party have
cordially agreed to cooperate in carry
ing out the contest plan.

A Warime New Years
Day Experience

On New Years morning, 1854, when the
thermometer was below zero, probably
the most undsciplined body of troops in
the whole Union army marcned into
camp at Martinsburg, w. Va. The men
looked careless, fatigued, sleepy and
cold. Some of them were bareheaded,
which showed that they had travelled
day and night and had fallen asleep ON
their horses. Many had lost their hats
and caps by their heads coming in con-
tact with the limbs of the trees IN the
woods. Some had the front and back
parts burned out of their overcoats and
trousers, which had probably happened
while they were doing before the fire.
A few of them wore some Confederate
clothing, indicating apparently that they
had captured some Confederate quarter
master S stores and had replaced their
own damaged garments with their
anemy's clothing. Others had their feet
tied up with pieces of blankets and
sheepskins.
Many of the men were dismounted;
Others We're mounted on wagon horses
and mules, with the harness still on the
animals. This showed that their wagon
train had been destroyed and that some
horses, had mounted these animals.
The infantry and the citizens of Mar
1insburg gathered around and stared at
these troops in wonder. This was Gen
oral Averills command, four regiments
of cavalry and battery that had just
returned from the Salem raid. The raid
ing party left New Creek tnow Keyser
City, W. Va.,) Dec. s, 1861 marched to
w Va arriving there Jan. l, 1864, trav-
cling "A days. During this time the
party travelled several hundred miles,
tore up the Virginia and Tennessee rail-
road tracks TO prevent General Lee from
re-enforcing General Longstreet, who
was fighting General Burnside at Knox
vile, Tenn. AT Salem the Confederate
iglartGrmcBter and commdssary stores
were destroyed.
On our retreat dozen or more Con-
federate brgades were after us and
tried to head us off at every crossroad.
At Coving ton, Va after the bridge over
Jackson river was burned, our regiment,
the Fourteenth Pennsylvania cavalry,
which was the rear guard, and a few
,d-smounted men of other regiments that
were with the wagon train were sur
rounded on the south side or the river.
One of the Confederate Generals sent in
flag of truce, demanding a surrender,
but We fought our way through. After
we burned our wagon train We swan the
jackson river. On our retreat we travel
ed through a severe snowstorm and slid
down ley mountains. Our artillery was
saved by pulling it over the mountains
with ropes
Our brigade lost on this raid killed,
drowned, frozen and captured, LAG men
and five officers.
A few men were SO badly frozen that
they died shortly afterward.
Thus on that New Years morning we
were cold, hungry, tired, sleepy dirty
and shabby. Uncle Sam soon heard OF
our condition and came to us with out
stretched arms for on Jan. 10 he pre-
scented every one of us with brand new
outfit, which included overcoat, dress

stockings, boots and blankets. We soon
