bought some poultry from the
farmer with view to providing
fresh eggs for breakfast every
morning. She sent them to town
by messenger, at the same time

band, telling him to look out for
the consignment. Her husband,
on reaching his home that night,
asked if the poultry had arrived.
He was informed that it had,

Ganeral Lee.

Robert E. Lee, one of the great
soldiers of the world, typified al
that was best in the South. A
member of one of the most dis.
tinguished Virginia families, he
had the fine qualities of his class,
with none of its weaknesses. He
had courage without buster,
dignity without arrogance, re-
serve without haughtineSs, tran
guilty without sloth. A soldier
in all his regal bearing, in every
fiber of his body, his character
was far larger than is essential
to the profession of arms. Ii.
the great decisions of life he
guided his action by what seem
ed to him the principles of duty,
and by those only. Political
animosity long called him, and
sometimes still calls him, traitor;
but if the word means a man
who sells his convictions for a
price, it was never less deserved.
For three years the South gave
him absolute trust, and no peo-
pie ever trusted more wisely

Why Thunder sours Milk.

It Is universally known that milk
turns sour after thunder storm. This
has been attributed to the large guam
tity Of ozone which is liberated by the
electricity in the air. The experiments
of Professor Trillat in Paris do not
confirm that theory. He has estab-
lished that atmospheric depressions
cause putrefying gases-normal quiz

theory points out that odors Of all
sorts are more permeating after
storms. These atmospheric depres-
