It was the British troops in India
that first brought into use the dunn
dunn bullets. In the petty wars on
the northwest frontier Of India, the
English soldiers were often exposed to
night attacks in camp by fanatic
swordsmen known as GhaZis, or fight
ing dervishe, and it was found that
the rush of men of this sort at close
quarters was not to be stopped by
the needlelike prick Of the modern
rifle bullet, and that it was absolutely
nece. sary to make the bullet more eff
fective in these special circumstances
This was done by removing from the
nose of a bullet a small portion Of the
nickel mantle that covers it. The eff
feet Of this was to make the lead
spread put from the diameter Of a
lead pencil to that Of the old -fashioned
musket ball, and had a sufficiently
stopping effect. The British troops,
it Is said, never used the bullets any
where except in the circumstances re-
lated.
The name dum-dum was derived
from the town of Dum-Dum, four and
a half miles from Calcutta, where the
bullets were first manufactured.

Planter of Experience Tells How &c
Grow the Nuts.
The following communication which
was addressed to the editor Of the
Southern Cultivator by j. D. Shuler OF
Bowman, S. c., will very likely prove
of interest to York county farmers and
others as well:

and have tried planting them many
different ways, but the most profitable
way is as follows:

different patches. | plant corn early
on seven foot rows and as soon as
can plant a row Of pinders in each

have to become adapted to the soil.
Planted every year on the same lane
they are better. AS soon as the corn
is dry | gather the best of it if too
much for the stock / have.
If desired the hay can be cut by
running the mower between the corn,
and gathering the hay clear of stalks.
When the stock has finished eating
out the fields, say first of November,
put a disk on the field, cutting the
stalks and all other litter up fine. then
turn the land deep and put in grain.
When grain is off l SOW pea hay; as

A Prize Bird.-An old Scotchwoman
had a reputation far and near for her
fine fowls, and had often been award
ed prizes at the neighboring shows
During the Christmas season a gentle
man staying in the neighborhood'
hearing her poultry so highly praised
resolved to give her a trial, so sent
an order for the finest turkey she had,
and after a little delay was delighted
to receive as fine a specimen as could
be wished for.
This delight, however, was short
lived, for on trying to carve the bird
he found it so tough as to resist all
his efforts. Enraged, he sailed forth
to find the woman who he believed
had swindled him.
After listening to his outburst OF
wrath she exclaimed: "Hoots, mon'
why We Gamma tell a guild fowl her
We see ane. That buggly-jock's ta'en

His Theory and Praetiee.-During a
school tea a kindly lady sat regarding
one of the young guests with evident
alarm. Undismayed by the lady's
chances, the young hopeful demolished
plate after plate Of bread and butter
and cake. At last the lady could stand
it no longer. Going up to the urchin
she said:
MY boy, have you never read any
book which would tell you what to eat,
what to drink and what to avoid?"
why, bless yer, ma'am,' replied the
young gentleman, with his mouth full
Of cake, II don't want no book. It's
very simple. I eats all 1 can, drinks
all l can, an l avoids Dustin"

Profit in Truth.-When illicit dis

was an old man who went about the
country repairing whisky pots. The

him what he would take to inform

paired the last whisky pot.
"Och,'' said the old man; I'll just
take half a crown"
"Done!" retorted the gauger. Here
is your money, but be careful to tell

Dum-Dum Bullets.

The origin Of the name and the

dum-dum bullets from a story which
seems to be little known, but which Is
of peculiar interest in view of tn"
fact that the Germans are accusing
the allies of using them in contraven-

down by the Hague convention, which
prohibits the use Of soft-nosed or ex-

Geosraphieal.-Readers who had
some difficulty in remembering where
the Falkland Islands were may have
been helped by the recollection of one
of Ian Maclaren's stories. After a
diaster to an emigrant ship many years
ago, some Of the survivors reached
home, the minister of a Scottish
church to which some of the emf
grants had belonged, prayed thus:
'Oh, Lord, we pray thee to be with our
brethren, stranded in the Falkland Is

Insanity.
The number Of English soldiers and
| officers who have suffered nervous
breakdown more or less approaching
insanity as a result Of the strain of
war, says a London dispatch, has
| shown such increase that some Of the
leading medical journals are pleading
for special consideration and treat
ment for this class.
Some cases. says the Lancet, "are
certainly hopeless, but there are 9TH
ers-and happily these are in prepon-
derating numbers, where there are
good grounds for believing that they
may again become useful citizens"
The effects of warfare on the nerv-
Gus system are more marked in the
| case Of officers than in the case Of en-
listed men, the latter in many cases of

THE powerful effect which modern
warfare has on the mind Is shown"
writes a surgeon attached to a British

mares which disturb soldiers sleep in

react in a most striking way to the

Of losing contact with his fellows
seems to be felt with extreme fire.
quency, and the horror Of isolation
constitutes the commonest nightmare
Of men in the fighting line.
They dream that they are wander
ing through endless trenches as com
plicated as an artificial maze, or are
picking their way through lonesome
forests. The slightest noise during
sleep calls up visions Of exploding
shells or the tramp of armed men
throwing them into a frenzy Of shout
ing terror, to the indignation Of their
resting fellows.
Another common night terror is the
dream of a sudden call to arms and
the inability to find some indispensable
article Of attire or armament, a con-
ception productive Of intense mental
agony. Live-shells naturally occupy g
large share Of the soldiers attention ir
dreams, and an exasperating night

Mixed characteristics is one told
on a certain pugilist who is far better
acquainted with the names of fstic
chronology than with those in the

Having reached England in the
course of his pugilistic travels. he was
patronized by a nobleman with sport
ing tastes.
A weekend visit to the country
estate was in order.
The gentleman personally conducted
his guest about the mansion, and when
they arrived at a certain %pretentious
bedroom he said, with pride: Here,
sir, is where the great Nelson slept"
