One af LenpitrMt' Storlas of Private
Pat Doolen.
Many were the stories of the civil
war told by the late Confederate
General Longstreet, but none of
them was fuller of pathos and hu
mor than his reminiscences of Pri
vate Pat. Doolen.
.. It fas-.this Doolen who, having
beta galed with buttermilk and
swetHpotatoes by a withered old
countrywoman whose cabin he and
his oororades had encountered in a'
ABtragglrag retreat, made his adieus
$ "An' how much do I owe ve
jna'am?" "
"Nothin' at all, honey, if you all
ain't got, it convenient," was the
hospitable reply, "and not many of
the boys -has these days. I've got
three of my own with Stuart this
minute; if bo be the Lord's spared
them." i
;?,"An' sure,' returned Doolen,
Stick as a flash, "if this isn't the
ehtfcal loidy as the saints for
give me, but his name's slipped me
moind the minute, but he told me to
surdlook out for ye ef we come
this way."
"It warn't Joe Davis, war it?"
eagerly suggested the innocent old
woman... ' , '
"The very- same, to be sure. Pat
Doolen's mimory '11 niver save his
Boull Joe Bint his love to his mith
er an' told me to be sure to give her
this." He brought from a pocket
a bulky wallet. The old woman fell
on nis neck witn tears ol joy.
"An' me jes' a-prayin' the good
Lord would send me some word of
him, an' somethin' to see me
through the next little while. That
there dinner we all jes' eat was nigh

unsuspecting old woman.
, "Pat, you liar," said one of his
companions as they walked away,
"aren't you ashamed to deceive a
credulous old woman like that?
Where do you expect to go when
you die ? You don't know any Joe

In his book he gives this incident as
a result of one such inquiry:
- fNear the point where the army

quired of the venerable proprietor
of 'one of these places if there were

WHAT IS ELECTRICITY?
An Enigma Whoaa Solution la a Puxzlo
to tha Soiantiata.
What ia electricity ? First we must
ask what is positive electricity? and
the answer is we do not know. For
myself I do not even guess, beyond
supposing it to be ataode of mani
festation or a differentiated portion
of the continuous and all pervading
ether. It seems to exist in lumps
the size of the atoms of matter, and
no portion of it less in bulk than
an atom has ever been isolated or
j appears likely to be isolated. But,
j although it may have bulk, it ap
j pears as if it had no appreciable
i mass; the massiveness or inertia of
the atom is probably due to some
: thing else, in fact to the possession
i of negative charges in equal amount
, This part of the doctrine is not yet
certain. More investigation is urg
! ently needed into the meaning and
properties of positive electricity.
. Meanwhile we shall only be follow
ing the lead of Professor J. J.Thom
. son if we assume that a unit of posi
, tive electricity has a massiveness (or
i what is often inaccurately called
I "weight") either zero or very small
i most probably very small; perhaps
auoui i per cent oi tne mass 01
some atoms of matter may be due
I to the positive electricity which
, they contain.
, But concerning negative elec
tricity we know a great deal more.
This exists in excessively minute
particles, sometimes called electrons
and sometimes- called corpuscles;
these are thrown off the negatively
charged terminal in a vacuum tube,
and they fly with tremendous speed
till they strike something. When
they strike they can propel as well
as heat the target, and they can
likewise make it emit a phosphores
cent glow, especially if it be made of
glass or precious stones. If the
target is n very massive metal like
platinum, the sudden stoppage of
the flying electrons which encounter
it causes the production of the ethe
real pulses known as X rays. Elec
trons are not very easy to stop,
however, and a fr.ir proportion of
them can penetrate not only wood
and paper, but sheets of such metals
as aluminium and other moderately
thin obstacles. Thut u because they
are extremely small, much smaller
than the atoms of matter. Sir Oli
ver Lodge in Harper's Magazine.

Station peas and beans cannot be
grown daring midsummer In Arizona,
but do qnlte well during the cooler
parte of the year, and moat beans can
be grown only during aprlng and ear
ly summer and early fall. Peas may
be sown any time from August to Feb-
i ruary. Those sown during the former
; month begin producing green peas dar
ing November and continue until the
heavy froata of tne late fall or early
winter. It la principally late varie
tlea that are planted during the fall
for an early aprlng crop. Early varie
ties will produce green peaa during
April and early Hay if planted during
January and February.
Bush beans are planted during the
latter part of March or tbe early part
of May for a aprlng and early summer
crop and during tbe latter part of Au
gust and the early part of September
for a fall crop. VIning beana grow
fairly well through the summer.

SMALL INCOMES.
Tha Bardeaa Wombs Bto la Btoa
Wham Htur la Chart.
Head about tbe experiences of folks
who live on small Incomes, and It la
curious to study the different note In
which a husband or a wife tells the
story. The man tells how pretty Is his
home, how well dressed are his chil
dren, bow appetizing tbe table always
looks and bow good Is tbe food. There
is a ring of pride, of satisfaction, of
Joyousness, In the man's recital of the
story. But when tbe wlfesTells tbe
story tbe pride may be there, bat the
same note of Joy Is lacking. In her
telling you feel the hand of one who
does it rather than the one who sees
It done or sees only the results. Tou
seem to fed a little closer to the actual
thing Itself and what It costs not in
money so much aa In labor to do It
The difference lies In the fact that the
husband sees the results; tbe wife
achieves them. Tbe man swells with
pride aa he speaks of her aa tbe right
kind of a wife, as the one woman In a
thousand and so on. But with all his
pride, with all the credit he la ready to
give her and does give, tbe fact re
mains that tbe man has by far tbe bet
ter of the barpain In the matter of
living on a small Income. Hard aa be
may work outside tbe home to 'bring
tbe money In, tho wife most work
harder to spend the money wisely, keep
within tbe Income and perhaps save
something. We bear a good deal now
adays of overworked men, but bow lit
tle, comparatively speaking, do ' we
bear of overworked women In the
home, j Yet a woman has so much less
to do with, physically, than a man.
The work of no man earning a small
salary begins to equal tbe work of bla
wife to make that salary suffice. Where
rigid economy has to be practiced tbe
heaviest burdens Invariably come upon

DOGS AND WORDS. '
.The Canine Vocabulary la Larger
Than la Generally Supposed. '
According to an expert in dogs,
the canine race learns to understand
if not the entire human vocabulary
at any rate many more words than
is commonly supposed. "Beg,"
trust," "fetch to, and feats" are
by no means the limit of its knowl;
"Pet dogs, as a rule, have a much
larger vocabulary than any other
kind," says the expert. "Trained
dogs, the kind ws find with circuses
and on the . stage, probably come
second, and the others are ranged
according to the lives they lead.
The dog learns words much
more rapidly than ws tiyppoee. In
the first place, this animal is a re
markably close observer. Hearing
a sound repeatedly, it soon learns to
associate it with a certain object.
Take the well trained hound, for in
stance. Hs soon learns what Is
meant by gun, shoot, hunt, deer,
fox, chase and so on. Experienced
hunters can furnish many evidences
of the understanding of dogs when
It comes to the words and phrases
most frequently need in connection
with the sport.
"While it cannot be claimed f of
hunting dogs that they have a very
extensive . vocabulary, they under
stand enough words to go about
their work intelligently and at times
with precision (hat is little less than
marvelous. Pet doge poodles, fox
terriers and animals of this kind
have a more extensive vocabulary.
An illustration of this is found
in a fox terrier belonging to the
manager of a well known theater, a
terrier of royal lineage, having coma
from the royal kennels at Budapest.
"Few " words in nssunon use
around the house-are beyond tha
understanding of this intelligent
animal. It knows 4ho name of ev
ery article of furniturd and cloth
ing ia the house. J f ' -
"A test was made for the purpose
of determining the accuracy of the
terrier's understanding of words. 1
want you to walk on your bind feet
to the front room and bits Mr. B.
on the ear,' said a member of the
household to the pet Forthwith
the terrier was off, and before Mr.
B. knew anything about the plan
the pet dog was playfully pulling at
his ear. -'?t;..o:
"Here was a rather Intricate com
mand. It was not simply a con
mend to go; it said how to g
where to go, what to do and tv
whom. But the terrier understood
perfectly. ' '
" "Now, here is a dog having an ex
traordinary vocabulary, understand
ing, no doubt, no fewer than 250
words. This ons case will show that
the pet dog has a wider understand
ing of words than dogs belonging
to any other class, ana there is a
reason for it of course. They are
talked to constantly and naturally
learn to associate certain sounds
with certain objects." London Ex
