General Horace Porter, in his "Cam
paigning With Grant," in The Century,
mvk: As a commander General Butler
had not been General Grant's cLoice.
The general in chief, w hen be aumed
command of the armies, found Butler in
cbaige of the department of Virginia
and North Carolina and utilized him to
the best advantage possible. He had al
ways found Lim subordinate, prompt to
obey orders, jossSHed of great mental
activity and clear in his conception of
the instructions given him. He was a
good administrative officer, though of
ten given to severe and unusual meth
ods in enforcing discipline and in deal
ing w ith tbe dissatisfied element of the
populatioa living within bis depart
ment, yet be did not possess the tie
xneuts necessary to make an efficient of
ficer in the field. As be was inexperi
enced in fighting battles. Grant felt
reluctant to give him charge of any im
portant military movement One em
barrassment was that he wa9 the senior
officer in rank in Virginia, and if Gen
eral Grant should be called away tem
porarily Butler would be in supreme
command of the operations against Pe
tersburg. The general struggled along
under this embarrassment by keeping
matters under bis own direction when
Butk-r's forces were employed in actual
battle and by sending an experienced
corps ccuimandu to handle the troops
in the immediate presence of the enemy.
Electric and Light Wan.
The chasm between electric waves
and light waves stems to be growing
narrower as investigation proceeds.
Professor Boee, before a meeting of the
British association, 6hovod that be had
"succeeded in obtaining an electric
wave length as small as six millime
ters." Ha was able to study with elec
tric waves ail the phenomena of light.
This paper bas been supplemented by a
lecture at Che Boyal institute, in which
Professor Boee showed that beryl, sele
mite and other crystals are polari rs
of tlectrio craves. So ulso are Jute and
human hair. He believes that the con
ductivity cf crystals is different in dif

and htmic Gallic auxiliaries. The Dams

Norwegians sheltered by hurdles, tried
to pit roe the walls of the town w hen
"what the Saxons and the Gaeidhil who
wore among them did was to throw
down large rocks by which they broke
down the hurdles over their beads."
What the others did to check this was
to place large posts under the hurdles.
What the Saxons did next was to put
all the beer and water of the town into
the caldrons of the town and boil them
and spill them down upon those who
were ouder tho hurdles so that their
skins were peeled off. Tho remedy
which the Lochlans applied to this was
to place hides outside on the hurdles.
What the Saxons did next was to throw
down aV the beehives in the town upon
the besgers, which prevented them
from moving their bands or legs, from

They afterward desisted and left the

Orlci a of the ramtoa Flay.
According to local tradition, the ori
gin of the Obcrammcrgau Passion
play was as follows: When in the year
1(133 a deadly plague threatened to de
populate the districts of Partenkirchen,
Eschrloke nnd Kohlgruh, which arc sep
arated frcm Ammcrthal, cr the valley
of the Ammer, by a rampart of moun
tains, the A uimerthalers succeeded for a
timo in protecting themselves against
the dread contagion, bat otw day a na
tive who had been wcrkiug all summer
at Escbcloke evaded the quarantine and
cnt red the Anuuerthal by a secret path
in order to celebrate an annual church
festival w ith his family. Two days aft
erward he was a corpse, and in less than
three weeks the plague bad carried off
64 of the Ammerthalers.
Despairing of all human succor, the
terrified survivors addressed themselves
to God and registered a solemn vow
that if be beard their prayer and re
moved tho scourge they wonld repre
sent, every ten years, "for thankful re
membrance aud edifying contemplation,
ai-d by the help of tho Almighty, the
sufferings cf Jesus tho Saviour of the
world."
Not a siuglo person died cf the plagne
aft r the vow was made, though many
were affected by it The first represen
tation of the Passion play in fulfill
ment of the vow of these simple villa
gers took place at Oboramuierg.iu in the
following year, aad it has been repeated
every ten years without a single omis
sion. The Last Straw.
A certain small buy much given to
punctuating bis remarks w ith the in

child safe iu bed and the bouse quiet,
the mother began to repent. How cross
she bad been, bow impatient, and how
nnwise and numotlierly it was to thus
cheek the aspirations cf the childish
mind for useful knowledge! Here was
this young, growiug intellect, eager to
reach out aud grasp w hatever was of
interest and value, and here was she, to
whose charge that young intellect bad
been committed, shirking her duty. At
this stage in her reflections the mother
rose, and repairing to ber son's bedside,

Mattia's WLmL
The newspaper man and I119 wifo
were out for a car ride. They had lfii
bidden to leave the Cedar avenue mr
tor in the wimmIs beyond Blue llock
Springs and wait there f-r the through
car, which would carry them on to
Lake View. There were two other
waiters a comely young woman and a
slender man, past middle age, with a
quick and nervous manner, who walk
ed up and dowu the road as if the de
lay was very irksome. The comely
young woman kept aloof from the
others and entertained herself by
drawing figures in the roadway w Ith
the ferule of her umbrella. It was a
clear, bracing day, with the odor of
awakening spring iu the atmosphere
and half a dozen or more wheelmen
and two wheelwomen came briskly up
from the direction of the avenue and
crossing the road bravely mounted the
rather steep slojie and jiassttl from
sight to the southward.
The nervous man came closer.
"Nimble as goats," said he in a
quivk, jerky way. "Great thing,
wheel."
The newspaper man assented to the
proposition.
"Yes," said the nervous man, "they
are revolutionizing things generally.
I bought one last night,"
The newspaper man's look plainly ex
pressed astonishment that the new
wheel wasn't in its owner's company.
"Oh, it wasn't for me," said the
nervous man, "bless you, I never rode
on one in my life. It was for my
daughter, Mattie," He laughed in a
way that was pleasing to see, "Y'es,
it's a great day for Mattie, She's been
counting on that wheel for a long time.
Why, we've talked it over hundreds of
times. I don't suppose there's many
men in the city that know more aliout
wheels than Mattie and I. There Isn't
a make tbat we ain't isted on, and I
guess I could go ahead and name the
different parts that make up a bike
without skipping a solitary UdL" He
laughed again. "You sec, the hard
times have kept me Kick a little as
well as most other jieople, and I didn't
just make up my mind to get Matlie's
wheel until last week. And then I
didn't get round to it until yesterday.
You see, Mattie's a good rider already.
T wasn't as though I was getting a
wheel for a beginner. She didn't want
a cheap one just to learn. The other
girls have lecn good to Mattie. There
isn't one in her school, nor in our
neigh borhood, either, that wouldn't
let Mattie borrow her wheel as long as
she watited it. She's a good girl, and
I guess everyliody that knows her
and she's got as many friends teachers
and all, as any girl iu town were just
as anxious as I was about that new
wheeL Mattie had kind o' set her
mind on a certain make for f 0, per
haps as good a wheel for the money as
the market atlbrds but I hadn't quite
decided on that point myself. So I
looked around. I looked at good
wheels and at cheap wheels and I
went here aud there, and only one
wheel just suited me. Every other
wheel I looked at made me want that
one wheel all the more. You see, Mat
tie's all I've got since her mother
died." The nervous man paused a mo
ment and looked oft across the shining
landscape. Then he went ou: "So
taek I go and buys that wheel." The
recollection seemed to please him
greatly and he laughed again. "I
b?at the salesman down a little and he
threw in all the contrivances, and the
whole thing cost me just fvi. I didn't
want my girl to feel ashamed of the
wheel her father bought her, and"
he laughed merrily, "I didn't want
to feel ashamed of myself. And now
she's got as good a wheel as any girl in
town."
The newspaper man murmured some
thing about the delighful surprise,
"Surprise," cried the nervous man,
"you never saw such a surprised and
happy girl in your life. She said but
never mind what she said. There
comes the car."
He looked away from the newspaper
man as he pointed down to the road
way. Then he added with a quick
laugh:
"Io j-ou know what I'm up to now?
Mattie has gone on a ride to the Lake
shore front with some friends and I'm
going out to Coll in wood on the car just
to see her ride by on her wheel."
Just why he did so the newspajKT
man didn't know, but he gravely
shook hands with the nervous mail.

"Sure. It was a clone squeeze.

"Oh, how dreadful," sighed the pret

The shipping clerk saw those tears
and he breathed hard. It was against
his principles to allow anyone to dis
tance him, and he resolved to take the
bookkeoiier down a peg or two. Look
ing about to make sure that the "old

he strolled over to the pretty steno

"It was dreadful."
"Indeed it was," the pretty steno

of her eyes upon him.
"Yes, horrible; but it might have

A Girl Write, to the Qacen,
tjueeu Victoria receives many odd
letters. Not long ago a missive reach
ed her from a little girl. The child ad
dressed her letter to "The Dear Lady
Queen," and told her how her doll had
fallen into a hole in the hill. Thechibl
wrote that she supposed the doll had
gone right through, and, as she had
heard that the other side of the world be
longed to the queen, she hoped her
majesty would not find it very much
trouble to give orders to have her doll
safely returned to her. It has been a
long time since the queen enjoyed any
thing more than she did this letter.
The quaint confidence of the child had
iU own reward. The queen looked in
to the case and found the letter wits
written in the U-st of good faith. So
she had a doll sent to the little one,
whose strange ideas regarding the
length of the whole in the hill were
ermitted to reign unchecked.

Cteful Hints.
From the Phil:!!. Ii!ii !:-.. iM.
Clover tea purifies the blood, clears
the complexion and remove pimples,
and dried clover may be used for the
tea.
A salad should never le mixed until
time to serve, and the Ualy ami dress
ing should be kept iu a cool place be
fore Heeded for Use.
1 11 boiling for soup stock, the meat
should be put into cold water, cover
ing the kettle lightly, and li lting the
stock simmer gently until the meat
falls from the hones.
In stewing meats, the water should
be boiling wheu the meat is put into it
The intense heat causes tne pores to
close immediately, and thus keeps the
juices in the mi at.
Elder flower water is an excellent
aud simple wash for the skin, and may
be made by placing the blossoms only
in an enameled saucepan and covering
with cold water.
Silver, isdished and ruliUil with a
piece of lemon, washed and thorough
ly dried, will not only keep clean long
er than with the ordinary cleansing,
but will have a white brilliancy so
much to be desired.
Fresh meat should not be allowed to
remain rolled in paper, for the par
will absorb the juices, llemove the
jmper and lay the meat on an earthen
plate.
To remove the smell of new paint,
lay a bunch of hay iu the room
and sprinkle it willi a little
chloride of lime; close the door for sev
eral hours, and when it is again ojeii
ed the smell of paint will be all gone.
Perfumed flannels in dainty colors
come now for laying iu the bottom of
drawers, and are particularly nice iu
drawers w here bedding and table linen
are kept. They have the apKaraiice
of ordinary flanuel, and are sold by the
yard and cut to lit the drawers, the
edgi's licing buttonholed or bound.
Tho llaiinel emits a delicate perfume
and will scent every article iu the
drawer where it is kept. The icrfunie
is said to lie far more enduring than
any of the sachets commonly in use.
Poor
Blood
When a horse is poor in fieih,
a new harness won't give him
st.-enjrth. If a hcusc is co!J
new turn? tu re won't warm it.
If your strength Is easily ex
hausted; work, a burden;
nervii weak; digestion poor;
muse'es soft; if you are pale
and worn out, the trouble is
with the blood. It is not so
much IMPURE blood as
POOR blood. Pills won't
make this blood rich ; nor will
bitters, nor iron tonics, any
more than a new harness will
give strength to the horse, cr
new furniture will make a
house warm. For poor b'ood
you want something that will
make rich blood.
SCOTT'S EMULSION of
Cod-livrr Oil with Hypophos
phitcs is the best remedy in the
world for enriching the blood.
Ve have prepared a book telling you
more about the subject. Sent Ftec

Cured Me.
For I years or more I have hnd a fearful
trouble, beg-an to Ki t very weak. My limb
would not carry me any more. Couldn't walk
