flower, and on inquiry found it had

Girl Was Boy in the Civil War.

Il
For So years Mrs. Anna Gould o:
Oakland, Cal, has nursed a romantic
secret
And then, on her sixty-eighth birth
day, with family group about her,
she revealed the amazing story of
how, at the outbreak Of the Civil War,
she had cut her hair, donned the uni
form of a Union fighter and gone 10
the war as Tom" Hunley, a drummer
toy, according to an Oakland dispatch
to the Washington Post.
That she had not previously barred
her secret was due partially no the
fact that her family had been divid-
ed on the war issues, and she waited
for time 10 heal the wounds; par
italy because of somewhat natural
reluctance.
But she did not wish her secret to
60 10 the grave with her, and so the
story of Tom" Hunley came to light
Two persons. had known her secret
Jeremiah Hunley, her father, and
General Grant, in whose charge her
father had placed her.
The Hunleys lived in a border"
State. Two sons went with the Union
forces and two with the Confederate
army. Then the father was called.
The prospect Of leaving his little girl
among strangers, unprotected and I'M
cared for, was too much, so he dressed
her in the uniform of 4 drummer boy,
cut eff her hair, told her always to re-
member her name was TEN" and
Joined his regiment
For two years "Tom" Hunley and
"hiS" father served the Union forces
in the bloodiest battles of the Civil
War. Never once was the identity OF
the little drummer boy" suspected.
There came day. however, when
Jeremiah was forced TO reveal the Sc
cret of his daughters masquerade
General Grant inspected the regiment,
and seeing the diminutive drummer
boy" decided "he" was too young for
active service, and ordered "him" mus
tered out Thereupon Jeremiah told
him the story of the motherless little
girl. The General swore himself to
secrecy and ordered "Tom" Hunley's
retention in the service
Reminiscing, the former Tom"
Hunley said: During all that time,
though many remarked that looked
more like a girl than boy, not one
soldier discovered that | was a girl.
Father and kept together so con-
stantly that | was always protected.
Had | not had his assistance at all
times doubt that could have stood
those two dreadful years.
The war over, Jeremiah and tom"
Hunley settled down in Indiana. But
the rigors of war were too much for
the father, who died six months later,
leaving his little girl, now reattired
in the dress of her sex, to continue
life under the guidance of newly made
friends. Her mother and brothers
had died previously.
Twenty years later General Grant
died without having revealed the Sc
cret of tom" Hunley, and a secret
it has remained until recently, when
Mrs. Gould revealed it.

Drinking Habits Of Animals.


To me, it vas an astonishing state
ment that there are animals that never
drink. went into the matter for a
thorough Investigation.
Really. most of us know but little
about the use Of water by animals. We
know tha; meat animals" like the
dog, LAP up water with the tongue,
while vegetarian animals, like the
horse, suck the water up. We know
that all the common animals with
which We are acquainted drink at least
once day, some of them many times.
If We were asked what animals can
do without water the longest, We prob
ably would name the camel.
Most of our pet animals, like the
dog and cat, drink nearly as often,
and die of thirst nearly as quickly as
person. This is partly their nature,
but very largely a result Of habituation.
A horse can, when he has to, do With
out water several days, though he suf-
ferg greatly after the first day.
Camels travel four or five DAYS
without drinking, but they are not doing
without water all that time. A camel
stomach is peculiarly made. with a
number OF pouches pockets on the
sides" Water is stored here when
the animal drinks, and he can draw on
these reserve canteenS" one at a
time for bodily moisture. His keen
ness in detecting water at incredible
distances makes it easy for him to reg
ulate his water rations between drink
ing places.
Hunters and naturalists say that a
giraffe can do without water three
or four days. One famous explorer
states that in Africa he kept a herd
of CRATES under closest observation
for week, and that not one of them
drank a single time.
Some of the African antelopes drink
but rarely; the Gland, in spite of its
bulk and fat, goes for weeks without
drink. The hartebeest drinks when
water is handy, but goes drinkless with
out apparent inconvenience when
necessary. The klepspringer, one of
the liveliest of antelopes, and the gere-
nuk, called by the natives "little cam
ell" are said never to drink. The long
shouted dikdik could not get water
even IT il desired; its home is a hot
dry thicket which it never leaves. The
Ierboa, a sort of kangaroo rat, is an
other curious creature of the Dark ON
tinent that lives entirely without drink
under conditions of heat and drvness
that to man without water would be
fatal within forty-eight hours.
According to DR.. Heller. eminent
scientist and explorer, auropsies on
these non-drinkine animals proved them
not erganically different from other
mammals. The most feasible explana-
ton is that Of habituation. II is sip-
nihcant that no fesh-eaters (carni-
vorles) are among these water fas.
terS 1t is probable that they, being
more ferocious, drove the timid ami.
mails from the streams and wa,er-holes
oack into the high, dry attitudes. As
the centuries passed the herbivories
developed, by compulson, constitu-
tional tolerance of thirst We will
never know how many generations
persisted prematurely because OF insult.
hcient water; but adaptabiity, that
wonderful power God has given to all
His creatures, finally triumphed, and
evolved the non-drinking animal
