I was wounded three times during the war, "said Major Li , with a merry twinkle in his line brown eye "once fa tally, but you see I am still an inhabitant of this beautiful earth. " "Perhap -,' suggested one of h'a listen ers, "you were like the man of horn the country newspaper man wrote: 'The ball entered li s left side, inflicting a mor tal wouud. "With good care he will be able to pull through all right.'" "That's just where the ball did enter," replied the grizzled veteran cheerfully. "Iwas in the Shenandoah Valley with Sheridan and we were having a lively time of it, a regular liure and hounds race all the time, it seemed. We were chasing Mr. Johnny Rebel out of the country and in one of our charges I sud denly stopped short, feeling as if a red hot sword had passed through me. I was wounded, badly, too. The ball had en tered my left side and had passed clean through my body, leaving a fierce burn ing trail. " Well," I said to myself, Abe L , this time you are a dead man. No man can live when a bullet has plowed its wav through his vitals.' T rrl-n nrrrrifiil n f 1a Km. TV a n ing business was so brisk just then that wounded men were looking out for them selves. I managed to get to a log and sat down on it to wait until I should die. The pain was so fearful that I could barely move my limbs. It seemed to paralyze my nervous and muscular orce. As I sat there, watching the men scam pering along one of my old comrades passed me. "'Wnat's the matter Abe?" he cried. 'Hit? f "'They've done me this time,' I answered. " 'Hope not," he turned to yell back as he ran. One doesn't expect delicate at tention at such times. "Well, I waited to die, uuYl finally I aid to myself: 'If this is dying it isn't )o bad after all.' "I unbuckled my belt to ease the pain and thought that I would like to see what a deadly wound looked like. I took a look and there was no wound there. I could not believe my eyes. I knew I had been hit, for I could feel where the ball had come out in my back. I put my hand around there ta touch the hole and could not find it. There was not a sign of a wound in my side nor a mark on the skin. It took me not more than 30 seconds to buckle my belt around me and make a run for my company. I caught it in twenty minutes. " 'How's this?' two or three of the boys panted. 'We thought you were killed.' 'Well, you see I'm not,' I 6aid, falling into the ranks. "I had been hit by a spent ball, and that night when I examined my side I found a black and blue spot on it as big as my cap. I didn't mind it in the least. A man who suddenly recovers from a mortal wound feels pretty cheerful. " A BIO GAME PRESERVE. Thousands of Acres In New Hampshire to Be Kept for American Game. .Much interest, says the Forest and Stream, attaches to the enterprise under taken by Austin Corbin, who has laid out on an extensive scale a preserve for big game in New England. A tractof coun try has been secured 40 miles north of Concord, amid the Croydon and Grant ham Mountains of New Hampshire. The range covers many thousands of acres. Mr. Corbin proposes to inclose the terri tory, police it, and maintain it strictly as a private game preserve. The 6pecies oi big game to be put out on it will in clude buffalo, elk, antelope, moose, cari bou, and deer, white tailed and black tailed. While this is further northeast than the recorded native range of the buffalo, there is no reason why they should not do well in New Hampshire. The region is the native home of the moose, caribou, and the white tailed deer; and the black tail might thrive there. We seriously question, however, the success of the ex periment with antelope. The climate is dry as compared with that of the West, and the probability is that the species vi ill not live in New England. It is sin cerely to be hoped that Mr. Corbin's en terprise in establishing, such a preserve for the noble 57 .me of America may be fiuccessful. A LAWYER'S TRICK. A Queer Practice Not Revealed Till Af ter Hia Death. " A good story is told of the tender con science of one of Missouri's early lawyers and judges," said an attorney yesterday, "and one which did not come to light un til after his death. Judge B. had a large practice in his day in central Missouri, and he was always looked on as a model of propriety, and, indeed, he would have recourse to many makeshifts, as the story proves, to evade compromising himself or telling an untruth. In trying a court case, you know, it is necessary to make an affidavit of appeal should you wish to take your suit from the finding of a trial court This affidavit must be concise and must state that the appeal is not taken for the purpose of vexation or delay, but because you feel aggrieved by the judgment of the court. 11 your con science is elastic there is no trouble in making such an affidavit, but to Judge B. it was a difficult matter, and he evaded it by substituting the word 'but' for or,' and always stated bis action was not made for vexation but for delay, etc. This was n"t discovered until after his death, when a review of all Ins appeal cases mowed he invariably worded hia affidavits in that manner. (Kansas City Times. THEN GO JT3LJA.T. L) Crockett. Too Much Exercis Injurious. Mr. Sargent, professor of physical cul ture at Harvard, does not believe in too much exercise. A man can be made cour ageous, active, vigorous, and self reliant by appropriate physical training, he says, but the men who kick foot bails are the very men who have to lay off after the season for rest and recreation. Those who have been the most successful in heavy gymnastics are the very ones who are subject to nervous complaints. MAKING A SPEECH. It tJnualljr luvulrei at Very f-karlous Physi cal Stxuln. It may look like a very thing for a member, having his speech written, to deliver it during the course of an hour iu the House, but it is not such an easy thing as it looks. The average shaker gots a deal of atheletlc exercise during the course of an hour's speech. There are some members in the house who can stand nnd read a speech without lifting a hand except to turn the pages, and al most without changing position; and there are other members who can talk all day without getting tired; but the average speaker perspires as if he were sawinz wood. An offhand speech of 10 minutes does not count, but the man who throws his arms in the air as if whirling Indian clubs, hammers his desk like a blacksmith, and dancer all around the place for an hour or so, is taking very violent exercise. Experience lias taught some of them tliat it is not safe to make such a speech without taking extra pre cautions against cooling off too quickly alu rward. I know several members who take ex traordinary precautions. Tliey do not epeak often. They know for weeks be fore hand that they are to spe.nk, and after all preparations are made for the speech itself, and the day comes for the effort, they have a sorvunt bring a com plete change of linen a underwear and a heavy overcoat to the v. prtol, and wait with these tilings at hand antd the speech is ended. Then the speaker with the perspiration pouriug off him, rushej to the cloak room, where the servant stands with the coat reidy, aud throws it over his shoulders a.s soon as he comes within reich. Next the member, with the col lar of his overcoat turned up, tucks his dry underclothing under his arm and makes for the b.itii roonn. There he en ters the waiting room, where the tem perature is high and there can be no draught, being under ground, and waits to cool off a little preparatory to a bath. There is no more work for him in tho House that day. When he has got his bath he makes for his lodgings as fast as ho can, and stays there until thoroughly rested. Philadelphia Telegram. FASHION'S PRESENT DRIFT. 1 It Is la the Direction of Naturalness cf Form and Simplicity. The present tendency of fashion to ward naturalness in form and design may be accepted, at least for the present, ai strong aud absolute, nor does it seem likely, with the taste for art and the general knowledge which the masses are gaining of correctness of style and outline, that the wheel of time will ever in its ceaselesa revolutions bring bock the immense expansion of hoops or tho frightful deformity of the bustle. Where a fashion takes such hold of it3 foPowers tliat it descends to the mo it minute details, revolutionizing under wear, and adapting evt-ry separate article of costume to one idea, then we cer tainly have reason to hope that it is des tined to a more or loss continued exis tence. For then the great business and mercantile interests become involvei4n its perin:inent acceptance, machinery employed in supplying great demands is modified in accordance with the new regulations, and suoh ponderous bodies can only be moved at certain intervals. The entire catalogue of woman's gar ments has gradually undergone this transformation. Afewjwi ago yards and yards of muslin or linen were gathered and tu kcd and gagd into clumsy articles of underwear wn.ch effectually destroyed all natural grace and outline. Now there is little superfluous material to be found among even the plainest and simplest of ordinary garments. They incase tho form very snugly, hampering no limbs, and yet they have almost a tailor fit. This change did not take place in an in stant or a month. It took many seasons to accomplish it, and it is years since the first attempt was made to bring about this result. When a tide in fashion aa well as in other affairs sets strongly in one direction it is useless to attempt to turn it. It must reach its flood. Fash ions may therefore be considered pretty well settled for some time to come. New York Post. UNCLE HAM'S SEEDS. How They Are All Tested by am Enthusias tic Young; Lady. All the seeds given away by the Agri cultural Department at Washin'on are- tested before being sent out, and the way in which it is done is very curious in deed. Shallow tin pans half full of water are employed, and across these parallel are laid thick wires in pairs. Each two wires have a strip of muslin sewed be tween them, so that when they are laid together across the pan a fold 2 inches deep hangs into the water. In this foil all along from one side of the pan to the other seeds are put, and the water rising by capillary attraction, soaks the muslin and causes the seeds to germinate. The forming roots poke their way in every direction through the muslin and the plants grow famously. One tin pan 2 feet long will hold a wonderful number of sprouts, and it is a simple matter to count and find out what percentage of 1890. jjrsrFiPiEiEir, these outf th sernSsate. OHfe rota oT mas lm being devoted to each kind of seea. Any seeds that do not prove entirely satisfactory are sent to the gardner of the department to be tried in earth. Thus Uncle Sam is able to guarantee all the seeds he distributes; the tin pan idea is a new one. The tin pans are attended to altogether by a pretty enthusiast in petticoats, who thinks it great fun to iiave a whole botanical garden within half a dozen square feet of room. She does the whole business on a window ledge, and simply in the water that way she has grown beans big enough to eat. And she ate them. Try it for yourself. Use a good sired tin pan from the kitchen and fix wires and muslin in the way de scribed. Write to the department for the seeds you want, and you are all ready to go into business. Own your own kitchen garden; every city family should have one on the window ledge. Flowers do as welt Chicago Times. HOW TO TRAIN CHILDREN. HX BB.EA.TUIX0 RIGHT HE CA.X HA.VB HEALTH AND STKENQTH. Little Good In tho Gymnasiums To Breathe CorroeUy Means an Erect Body and m Graceful Carriage Every Boy May Reach m Green Old Are. Edwin Checkley, a teacher of physical education in Brooklyn, N. Y. . has some new ideas which be has given to the public in regard to the physical training of children. "The present system is wrong from be ginning to end, " he said to a reporter. "Pick up a 6 month's old infant, "he added, "hold him in an unstrained up right position, and you will find that his back is broad and flat and that his spine is perfectly straight. As soon as the child begins to walk the spine begins to curve. Why? The weight of his ab domen causes the lower part of his back the 'hollow of his back,' so called to sink forward and sag down. There is error number one. Subsequent physical training takes no notice of it. " You will find, too, that an infant m arms has the power, while sitting bolt upright, of putting his foot, or at least a part of it, in his mouth. This is because his hip joint is perfectly free. and flexible. He loses this flexibility almost from the moment he begins to walk. The ordinary system of athletic or calisthenic training takes no notice of this loss. "Now, I claim that above all else a child should be taught how to stand and how to breathe. Next he should be in structed as to the proper way of using every muscle and joint. Teach him those things and he will be a graceful healthy strong man. Neglect them and while he may become temporarily strong his power is neither lasting nor conducive to long life and vigor. "Nothing is more important than to teach children the general principles of right development. It is a mere make shift to bring forward calisthenics. Only a small minority of the children in classes for physical training give any vigor or meaning to the few insignificant move ments of the arms. Most of the boys and almost all of the girls make merely superficial movements, with no sense of the meaning and no feeling of exmlera- tionr If anything has been said to the children about breathing no effect is vis ible. If anything has been said about the carriage of the body the instruction has been confined to an injunction to 'keep back the shoulders.' "In a nervous effort to obey the latter injunction children are often found with hollowed backs and shoulder blades driven in against the spine. When the shoulders are violently and persistently thrown back the shoulder blades almost meet. They press on the spine and jam the upper part of it forward. This effect is simply unavoidable. "If a child is sent to school at the age of 5 or 6 the teacher should watch him at his desk to make sure that he main tains an erect position. It will be found that if the head is kept properly held erect the chin is bound to draw up the breast bone. By holding the body erect and straight the child will find it easy to breathe in the costal way that is, with the upper part of the chest. This, I claim, is the proper way to breathe. Of course it is not easy to learn all this at once, but a careful teacher, by taking pains, could soon bring her class into such a condi tion that they would find it easier to Btand, walk, and sit right than wrong. " It is uot necessary to spend ary special half hour a day in teaching these things. The instructor who is with children all the time is the one to keep them standing or sitting properly. 'Folding the arms,' the present attitude of respectful atten tion, is one that cramps the chest and the breathing apparatus. It should never be practiced. Let the teacher instruct her children t j keep the upper point of the foreliead and the most prominent part of the chest always uplifted, as if trying to push up through the ceiling. A word now and again will soon incul cate the right sort of carriage. Let all bending forward be done from the hip joint not from tbe waist. The backbone need not and should not be bent in stooo- Highest of all in Leavening Powen mg to pick up anyuiing. "Instead of wasting time over rods and wands, teachers should make the chil dren learn how to hold their bodies and how to move the shoulders, hips, and other joints properly in the ordinary business of life. Children can get little good from what they learn mechanically. The youngster's interest must be aroused. Teach him that not dumbbells, but the knowledge ho acquires in the carriage and deportment of his body, will make him agile and strong, and then his physi cal education will amount to something. Physical education is properly accom plished only through the mind. "The mere acquirement of muscular tissue is not of so much importance as a good sheath of sound healthy agile bone covering. By that I mean elastic supple tendons and muscles working in har mony, directed by a well regulated mind. This is what children need. The shoul ders should not be strained back of the hip joint. These two joints should be on tbe same perpendicular line. The cheat must have prominence on its own ac count, and the shoulders when held back far enough to give the chest free devel opment find a natural and comfortable center. I am no believer in the theory of extensive destruction in tissues and hurried rebuilding of them to secure health. Such training is abnormal. The cat, the horse, dog, tiger, and other lower animate keep their strength for the most part with light exercise. The tendency of hard exercise is hard muscles, and' hard muscles are bad. It is in the con servation of energy, and not in the prod igal dissipation of energy, that the great est strength and endurance of the body will alwayB lie. Our bodies should re main firm but pliant, and in most parts soft There is no reason why any of us should become inactive before our 80th birthday. Whatever may be the case elsewhere, it stands to reason that an editor in his sanctum is the write man in the write place. RECENT KNOWLEDGE. It is said that the onion is a great bleep inducer, and about equal to quinine for malaria. Gearing for electric railways made put of rawhide is preferred to metal, as it makes far less noise and wears better. A carpet manufacturer says tliat work lias been begu.. on an invention by wbich C boys can do the work of 300 girls em ployed at oarpet sewing. Dr. Pedroux, of Nantes, France, claims to be able to see the color of sounds. He says that human voices are red, blue, black, tan, slate and all other colors. tUOiex teler-i' "T, it is now tb'A'" will play an extremely important part in the solution of the difficultiej in con- j nection with long distance telephoning.

The piece of crown glass, 40 inches ia diameter and 2 inches thick, made in Paris, for the object glass of a telescope for the University of Southern California, will require 2 years' Iator to turn it into a finished lens. When people first come to be fitted with ghuses it is said that seven of ten see stronger by one eye than the other; in two cases of five one eye is out of line; nearly one lialf are color blind to some extent, and but one pair of eyes in every fifteen is right in all respects. A new method of ventilating railway carriages and preventing dust from en tering with the air has lately been adopt ed in France. The more quickly the train moves the more rapidly the ap paratus works. The air is made to trav erse a receptacle containing water, wbich cools it and relieves it of dust, after wliich it goes through another filtering before entering the carriage.
