The Cruelty «>f War.

An incident related in the biography | of Sir Provo Wallis, admiral of theBritI ish lleet, brings home to the reader the cruel nature of war. It occurred dur- . ing the war of 1812. An American cap- | tain hail taken a lino ship to Lisbon, where she had sold her cargo for the

from the north line of Franklin street north ' us " of ^ IJl ' i,iKl ‘ i ‘ r "'y under Wellingto|jih*Tt\ tre*‘t i»> the ctMistnn-tit»n oi in irk ton, aiid received several thousands of hiewaiks and stone gutter* on both «i>b's | dollars in return, which were on board.

Meantime war had been declared, and on her homeward voyage she fell a victim to the British squadron. One of the

her captors was to

I obtain information. The American capl tain was sent on board the Shannon— \ which afterward captured tile famous Chesapeake—but was kept in ignorance | of the war and of the fact that in* was a

prisoner.

He answered unreservedly all the questions put to him, and Captain Broke, who greatly disliked the deception hu I had been obliged to practice, now felt it j difficult to make the prisoner acquainted | with the next step which must be taken. At length he forced himself to say: “Captain, I must burn your ship.” The American, overcome by surprise,

HEA l'H . SKXSATIONS. A MAN WHO PRACTICALLY DIED THREE TIMES IN ONE YEAR. IVrKonul l^xpt'riem’CN with Death Go to Show That the Moment of Final 1>1nholiition Is Ahsolutcly i'ainlctt* and W ithout Fear «ff Future Life. Although neither a physician nor a clergyman i Ax is!) to corroborate the views of tlm physicians contradicting Rev. Dr. Epworth under the heading, “What Is Death?” in your Sunday issue. As a Federal soldier, May ill, 18112, 1 was one of those who fought against the surprise of General Johnston, at the time commander of the Confederate army, at Fair Oaks. The surprise was made at noontime, while our boys were eating lunch. I rememIkt one soldier being struck in a vital part and killed while leaning upright against a tree in the act of carrying a flapjack to his mouth, remaining after death in precisely the same position. When 1 saw him standing there I mistook him for a live man, especially as lie seemed to me intent only on eating his flapjack, hut the illusion was dispelled when touching him, because as an officer 1 wanted him to join his com-

rades.

My own personal experience in the matter confirms the physicians’ also. The JOth of April, 1880, a tire was raging in my factory iu San Francisco. By some means I was about 150 feet from the main entrance in tlie burning building when, to my dismay, I lieheld the live story wall topple over me through a skylight. Passively I lowered my head, thinking only of my coming death and wishing it would Ik- swift. In less than a second thousands of bricks fell on me. sounding like a big drumstick beating on a big bass drum. 1 remember a crash, then nothing-but when I came to my senses 1 was wedged in between heavy timbers, the upper part of my body only Isdiig free. Alsiut a dozen slops hack of me was a stranger to me who had not received a scratch, but ascertaining that my leg was broken, and also my utter inability V) save myself, he crawled over to me and attempted to pull mo out of my terrible situation. But all his efforts only increased my suffering, and as l saw the flames come up I entreated him to leave me to my fat; and try to save himself. Finally ho crawled away, promising, however, to return xvith help and axes. I must have been bewildered, for no act of my past life came to my memory, but suddcply thinking of my small, motherless children I shouted for help, whistling at intervals through my lingers. Some tiremen must have heard, for presently there were several streams of water poured on me. 1 then realized my danger, yet I, xvlio had never gone into a battle without a pang, felt none whatever while in that deathtrap. The water and smoke combined must have asphyxiated me, for when my stranger returned leading a brave party of firemen and policemen I laid as one dead. Believing mo dead, and being in a A'ery dangorous position, they cut away part of the timbers and rudely but safely passed me over the debris in the street. A deafening shout from an immense throng which had witnessed the gallant rescue, streams of cold water and fresh tir revived me, and I begged of them to be careful xvith my limbs, which were dangling from my body. After many weeks of suffering the physicians decided to break my leg Again, hut being unable to do it AA’ell while I had my senses they decided to •hloroforin me. Being subject to heart disease I objected, but the matter being urgent 1 finally consented to take the anaesthetic. Fully convinced, however, that I : 1 1 dir- under iI , J.in **, hut knowing th: t < itiier way 1 wool 1 have to die, 1 a.j cd (•> ta!:<* tlie only chance i'c'* 11 ?' 1 1 jn my Lack; yet, althou ji convinced that my last hour had c >:no, 1 had not the slight! a recollection i f my former deed:;. A : ! heard the ph ienn ;' whispers gradually hist in the distance I was only wondering what wonld come next. 1 recovered, however; but. breaking ray leg a third time on account of some adhesions in my knee, it was decided that 1 should undergo another operation, which necessitated the use of ana>sthetics again. This time thu physicians thought I xvas a goner sure, for it took • tp^satigtotvJi'nifiiiitoiiwp fiwn^11~ yet, although certain of my hist hour, I could not recall my past life, and in +. “tii * - ».S $ .-Mt wwii Hut squarely to face it.

In my own case I could claim to have died three times within a year, yet 1 do not think I had any other hut a sensation of rest. Dr. Epworth, ui his assertion also that either a look of horror or beatitude overspreads a deceased person's face, seems to forget that the Scriptures teach us that the spul leaves our terrestrial envelope at once on dissolution; hence the body cv.nuot show what reception the soul had on tlie other side of the Styx.—An Interested Reader iu New York Press.

The Wearil of Kia,'*.

“It is a constant surprise to rao,” said a man the other day, “that a woman with a palpably ugly haul will call everybody's attention to ii by hanging her fingers xvith s[xir!:ling rings. A certain intuitive vanity that is common to men and women alike ought to teach her 1 letter. Freckles, big knuckles and Ugly or ill kept nails are all .iceentuated by showy rings. I've cti a avoiiiiib whose rough, red hand must l>c lie; ever pre:ciit tlu r:i in tin* llesli load it xvith big diamond . the xvi.ite sparkle and dull gold setting of whicli intensified the redness and coarseness of the fingers they encircled. I long to tell such a one to put her jewels at her throat, on her arms, in her hair—anywhere hut mi her hands. “In contradiction to this I recall a woman of my acquaintance who lias a small brown hand like a gypsy's. She has evidently studied its limitations, for she AX’oars never more than one ring, and that always of odd design. I've seen her xx’ear a black pearl sunk in dull silx’er, a hoop of carbuncles or an old English ring of hammered gold, but she oftenest wears a superb alexandrite that shows black in some lights and deep seagreen in others. 1 always applaud her xA’isdom in banishing pearls, emeralds and diamonds or.'mv conventional styles from herring ixix ”—II r Point of View in

New York Times.

Weed Maps in G or in any. The Germans have some educational ideas which xvo in this country have borrowed xvith profit, and there are still others which xvo might be wise to adopt. Among them no doubt are the wall maps of different species of pestiferous weeds, which hung in schoolrooms where the children can see them as long as they go to school. A practical idea underlies the displaying of these majis. It is well knoxvn that farmers are prone to treat all weeds alike, and hardly to observe any difference between them, whereas the natures of weeds differ as much as the natures of otiier plants do, and the sort of treatment which will exterminate one xvill sometimes increase and multiply

another.

It is important therefore that the farmer and gardener should understand the weeds xvhieh they are trying to extermi-

nate.

It is here that these German wall maps come in. They show colored pictures of the most pestiferous xveeds, in all stages of growth, and also the ways in xvhieh they scatter their seeds and Iiropagate themselves. By learning them thoroughly, through M-eing them day hy day on the walls, the child grows up with a knowledge of the best way to exterminate them.—Youth’s Companion.

Liszt's Gypsy IToD'jje.

The great pianist, who was passionately fond of the gypsies, once endeavored to educate and civilize a gypsy lad, but failed ignominionsly. The wild spirit of tho nature of countless generations could not he tamed, and though as a child liking the novelty of the new life the young gypsy submitted, but xvith a bad grace, to the instruction of the teacher Liszt provided, lie soon broke loose, and became arrogant and inor dinately conceited. However, ids untutored playing xvas excellent, and he became tho ]iet of those foolish wome: in society who are ever on tho lookout for some new craze to feed their flighty craving after variety. Soon the child of nature pined for the freedom of the fields and savagery, and so lie xvent. He ran away three tinn s and was brought back, and then Liszt let him go for good. In after year:: he turned up again in one of the numerous wandering gypsy orchestras, but he xvas only then a mediocre player—instruction had actually killed the real ability that ns a child he had possessed.

Tlie I Hurt of New York Ortritn liullilera.

A company of twelve Philadelphians interested in real estate developments had gone out in the country for the purpose of looking about for profitable investments, and had sent word to the proprietor of the old hostelry of their coming and ordered an old fashioned turkey dinner to be ready at (1 o’clock. The order put tho proprietor in hia best humor and the entire establishment into an unusual flurry of exciting preparation. The hostler hurried to the nearest farmhouse, where he purchased the finest turkey to In- had. and carried it back to the hotel in triumph. Taking it into the stable ho dispatched and plucked it in great haste. Everything was excitement in the large kitchen from the time the order xvas announced until late in the afternoon, when the hist dish xvas ready to he carried to the dining

room.

Tlie news of the gentlemen coming spread through tho village, and every one felt duty bound to go to the hotel and see them, and none took a greater interest in tlie affair than the boys. They had finished their chores unusually early and xver, promptly on hand long before the hour of serving the supper. Of the entire community none felt his personal importance more than Dave Peters, the colored xvaiter. Dave xvas of portly build and prided himself in his appearance, and if he had a hatred for one thing more than any other, that thing xvas a claw hammer coat, which ho said lielonged to society gentlemen and not to a waiter, consequently he held to the old fashioned roundabout jacket. Just before the time for announcing that dinner was ready a number of the village boys stood peering through one of the dining room windows, watching Dave arrange the different dishes on the table and admiring the display made by the twelve napkins in as many cut glass goblets. After viewing the effects of the table with a countenance beaming xvith satisfaction, Dave strutted toward the door and disappeared hy descending the stairs leading to the kitchen, and a few moments later reapjieiired, carrying on a large dish the turkey, done {o a lovely brown and beautifully garnished with carved roses, sprays of parsley and celery tops. Walking toward the table he found that no room had been left for the central and chief adornment of the table. Taking the situation in at a glance, Dave saw his mistake, and hurriedly set the dish down upon the broad sill of tho xvindow through which the boys were peering, and began rearranging the table to make room for tho

turkey.

No sooner had he turned his back to the window than one of the boys softly and quietly raised the sash, while another grabbed the turkey from the dish and tied across the hotel yard toward the old stable, followed by his companions. After making room for the large dish Dave turned around, stepped to tho ^ window, raised the dish and phmed it in I 4fs -’.V-J* t" -g. ti# iibl. never noticing that the bird had flown. Going to the sideboard he picked up tho HiipiM-r bell and gave it a violent ring, thus notifying the host that dinner was

ready.

“This way, gentlemen; this way, please,” spoke tho proprietor to his guests; "step this way, gentlemen,” leading them through a narrow passage from the bar to tlie dining room. No sooner had tie reached the dining room than his gaze fell upon the empty plate, xvnen he exclaimed, “David, where in •?.ii.-'*n AT-ppi vs-"•!»' •*

Jaw if-ir ai.d his large eyeballs stared most frightfully, while his whole frame shook with a terrible tremor. All he could say in reply to the abrupt and emphatic question xvas, “Don't know, sir; it was dar, it xvas dar,” and hurrying to the kitchen stairs lie shouted down, “You, Phoeby, whar in deb’l’s dat tur"Go erlong now, you’s got it up dar long ergo.” The disappearance was not only a mystery to the waiter and cook, but to the proprietor as xvell, who iu an apologetic manner asked tlie guests to repair again to the barroom while a thorough investigation could l* 1 m91 lo Every one in the house, including the hostler, was questioned and cross questioned, yet no light-could be thrown on the mystery. After xvasting an hour in trying to find the missing bird, and after aaionsultation xvith tlie guests, fried ham and eggs were substituted for the turkey. It was not till two hours later, when the guests were alxiut to depart, that the proprietor learned what had become of the turkey. One of the hoys, more bold than his companions, came back to the hotel to see iioxv the joke worked, and thinking the story of the bird’s disappearance too good to keep, told it to one of the men that were loitering about the

outside of the hotel.

Tlie next morning the picked bones of the turkey were found scattered about on the ground back of the stable, where the boys had, after carving it with their pocketkmves, greedily devoured the , 1 well cooked bird.—Philadelphia Times.
