MISS PAPA, Evcrjr morning when tho miners em ployed in the mines at llcrard assembled around tho shaft to answer the roll-call, there rould bo seen arriving last of all a tall, sturdy-looking fellow, who led by the hand a little girl seven or eight years old. They wcro Michel I'ierrou and his daughter. Ueforo setting foot on the platform of tho car to descend the man took tho child in his arms and kissed her, and then replaced her on tho ground. Tho litllo ono cried : "Good by, papa." When tho signal for tho descent was given she clasped her hands and kept re peating the single word "papa" until she was sure that papa could no longer hear her. Then alio" went on to the school houso close by, where sho apent the day. Whcn the evening came ahe was al ways the first at tho opening of the shaft, and Michel I'iorron was alwaya tho tirst who came up. As aUlis depart ure, ho lifted tho child in his arms, and she threw her arms around his neck, crying papa." The miners had heard her repeat these two syllables so often, nnd had been so struck by the strange passion which sho put into them, that they gave her the name of Miss I a pa. And certainly no namo was more ap plicable, Her father was everything to her. Her mother had been dead a long time; sho had senrrcly known her; she had only him. All her memories of childhood wcro filled with him, To her his great rough hands had been as gentle as a woman's. r'or her, his hard grimy faco hal always worn a tender smile. For her, this man had lf come a woman and a child at the same time. Ah I how she loved her father, and how teirilied sho was every morning when sho mw him descend into tho great black hole to which no one could see tho bottom. Cue day a miner held her oer tho mouth of the shaft, and sho had gazed down into tho dark depths. I'ttoring a cry of terror the drew back. "Papa goes down there," she thought. "Oh, if he should never come up." And that day, when Michel took her in his arms as Usual nnd kissed her, she dun ! more tightly than ever to his neck, and said to him : "Vo j will come up, won't you!" "Of course, my littlo ono." "Is there any danger, tell me, papa!" "Why, no, little coward." "Pocs anyone (nn anyone die down there ( "Have no fear." replied Michel, laughing; "I will not die without let ting you know." "Ah! Good-bye, papa." All that her father said was gosptl truth to her, and she went to school com pletely reassured. Hut the memory of that black gulf into which her eyes had plunged could not be effaced, and from that time sho was afraid otory morning and trembled every evening; hho feared her lather would never leturn from thoso mysterious depths into which sho had seen him descend. as it presentiment? Who knows? One day the report suddenly spread that an explosion had occurred in the mine. In a moment's time a crowd had gathered at the shaft. F10111 all direc tions peoplo, wild with terror, camo Hocking to the spot, of those buried far below there how many would cyer see tho light again Michel's daughter was at school. Sho knew nothing of it, and besides if any one had spoken of it before her would she have comprehended f Could sho know, poor little ono, what an explosion was? No. But at her ago ono knows already what death is; ono understands at her ago when one sees in animate, multilated bodies extended upon tho ground, and the approaches to the shaft were strewn with them when she arrived that evening to meet her fa ther. Bhe was stupefied for a moment, and then the truth suddenly fashed upon her; she had seen those men go down living, thoso men whom she kuew so well, who had kissed her many a time; and now they were brought up dead. Would they bring up her father like them ', This thought distracted her. Sho be gan to run wildly among the debris, which they had brought up from tho mine, crying: ".'apa! Papa! Papa!" There weie. it is true, many others who cried snd called "Papa!" but not one in such despairing a cents. The others they drove back, but no one could be found to push her away. They let her run, poor child, from one body to anoth er, sometimes stopping before a dis figured face, hesitutintr for a moment, as if she feared she might recognize her father. j No, he was not among the dead. Sho grew calmer, aud sought among the liv ing. Ho was uot th-re. She questioned every one, but one had teen him. Of the sixty miners who had went down in the morning forty-five hud come up alive; fourteen wore dead. There remained but one to be accounted for; that cne was Mic hel. She had made them explain all that to her, aud sho understood. She clapped her hands joyously, as if they had said toher: "Ho is all right You will see him again." Ah! how she hoped to tee him. Then the suddenly recollected the morning on which her father had said to her: "I will not die without letting you know." It only needed that to give her the cer tainty that he was living. A child's faith ' strong. It is not easy to drive out an idea which has once faken root in its mind. So, when the next morning she had remained there all night they tried to make her under stand that there was no hope, that she would never again see her father, that they had explored all the galleries, searched every corner and had not found him, she shook her head and began to weep, saying: "Seek for papa!" They paid little attention to her. For forty hours had they not exhausted every means? There was, doubtless, something strange in this disappearance Living or dead Michel ought to have been found, and they had not found him. Tho chief engineer had himself di rected the search, but all in vain. In tho opinion of nil nothing more could bo done, and it was possible that, by tho force of tho explosion, tho unfortunate man had been buried by the falling de bris, and it was impossible to tell her when nnd hovr. For forty-eight hours little Miss Papa waited anxiously, but without manifest ng the slightest uneasiness. At every human form which appeared at the opening sho started forward, and, not rccogni.ing him for whom sho waited, she sank back upon the ground with a deep sigh. They tried to take her away, nnd she uttered such piercing cries that they considered it best to leave her there. They thought that sho must soon yield to fatigue. Whence comes to tho weak and feeble such strength in the great crises in life? Ask God; it is Ilia teeret. Tho third day tho child wa? still at the shaft. "1 must put an end to this," aaid the engineer, approaching her. "Come, my little ono, be reasonable!" "Papa! seek for papa!" "Alas ! he is dead." "No." She uttered this "no" with auch energy that the engineer was struck by "Why do you say no." ho asked. "Ho would have told mo." "Poor little one," murmured tho engineer. And ho mado a s:gn to tho men to take her away. Hut she clung desperately to him, crying: "Papa is not dead. I want to go down. I will lind him." They bore her away nnd left her with the school teacher. An hour later sho was back at tho shaft, and, clinging to the engineer's knees, she kept repeat ing: "I want to go down ! I will find him !" He was a tender-hearted man, that engineer, nnd he took pity on her. "After all," he said to 'himself, "that will, perhaps, be tho be-t thing. When she has seen with her own eyes, she will believe. This excitement) if it lasts much longer, will kill her." And, taking her iu his arms, ho boro her to tho car and gave the signal to de Bcend. She shuddered when sho felt beneath her tho yawning pit, from which arose a foul air which almo-t suHocntcd her. The engineer felt her little nrms enclose his neck, nnd her curly head was pressed against his own. When they reached the bottom sho dis engaged herself, sprang to the ground and rushed forward, calling: "Pofia! pupa!" The engineer, who could hardly keep up with her, was tired of explaining tp her twenty times what he hud already explaiued how the explosion had oc curred nnd w hat they had done to find the victims, nnd the child kept ques tioning him, nnd repeated: "Ho is living! Seek for him!" Sho would have remained down there in the mine three days, as she had already douo at the surface, if they had uot taken her by force and carried her up. The engineer gave orders that she should bo taken back to the school teacher, nud also orders that if she reap peared nt the shaft she should be pre vented from goin," into the mine. All his measures had been carefully taken, and the next d iy.no longer think ing of her, ho was inspecting one of the galleries, wheu he felt himself seized by the arm of his coat. It was Miss Papa. Sho had escaped from the school a second time. Itcpulscd at the shaft, she had slipped into an empty coal car and had thus descended into the mine. She told all this to tho engineer nnd obtained his pardon. Five minutes later she again began her search, still full of undiminished fuith. The miners followed her with pitying eyes, shrugging their shoulders, saying: "Poor little Papa!" Littlo Papa kept on seeking with una bated courage. Suddenly they saw her running toward them, palo and excited. 'Iiown there!" she gasped. "Down there' Papa!" "What.' Down there?" said the miner. "His blouse!" "Huh! Where.'" "Down there!" In a moment every one had heard the news, and tho mine was in a tumult. The child declared that sho had feen a piece of blue cloth in the hole, which sho could not raiso because it was held down by an enormous block of co d. "Where?" they asked h.-r again. Sho turned, followed by the crowd of miners. Then she stopped uud hesi tated. She could not find the spot. All the blocks of coal resembled each oilier; all tho cavities were aliko, all tho galleries were tho same. And yet she was suro she had seen that piece of blue cloth. Where the blouse was, the man must bo, living, no doubt, and that man was her father, and she could not lind him! One by one.tired of the useless search, persuaded that the poor girl was crazed by grief.the men withdrew and returned to their work. But they had hardly taken up their pickaxes, when a loud cry recalled them to the child. "I have found it! I have found it!" They pushed her nsido and looked. Yes, it was a piece of bluo flannel! It was a blouse! There was a man there! They set to work with a will, and in a twinkling of an eye the wall was b. atcu down, and in a deep excavation they saw a mau extended; it was Michel Pierron. He had been there three days and four nights. Loud cries arose oil all side, and, ringing loud above tho others, a cry escaped from the lips of a child. Hie thiew he self upon tho body and clasped it iu her arms, half mad, weep ing and crying : "Papa! papal" lie was nearly dead, poor Michel! Exhausted by luck of air and nourish ment he recovered consciousness only to sink back fainting; but he wa alive. Miss Tana had told tho truth. Tho man would not die without telling his child, nnd the thought of her had bus ta:ncd him and given him the strength to conquer death. A week later he was out and ready to recommence his work. On tho evening of the day beforo that on which he was to return to the mind a great banquet was given by nil tho miners to Miss Papa. The place of honor was reserved for her. A loud hurrah and wild applause greeted hef when she entered, holding 011 to Michcl'd linnd. There were kisses given, shouts! of "ilravo!" and wild huzzns in honor of the little queen. And do you know what she replied to all this, smiling and clapping her littlo hands? She replied : "Papa." It would be difficult to describe how nnd in what tone sho uttered that word, lint all the binvo fellows, whose eyes had hardly ever known a tear, will tell you that they wept, that night. How Men Act I'nder Fire. Exposure to fire, writes Colonel Floyd Clnrkson in the Mitilnml fijirest, brings OHt the different characteristics of men. Thoce who aio naturally stubborn and combativo become more so and mako the best lighters. The way men behavo when exposed to the enemy's tiro de pends on whether they expect to bo hit or not. Somo men, especially thoso new to the work, go into a charge firm ly convinced that they aro going to be shot, of courso they are frightened when they look at in that way. jo man is willing to go deliberately to meet death, and tho idea of being hit, even slightly, Is not iileasant. l ooking nt it in this way, the men becomo extremely nervous, nud in some cases it makes them actually sick. W:hen compelled to go forward, they are so excited that they hardly know what they nre about. Oiher men look at it ditlen ntly, nnd do not expect to be hit. These are men who have seen service. They consider their chanco of being killed so slight in ordinary engagements that they act ns though they wero indilTcrcnt to tire. It makes nil the di.Tcrence in the world in their behavior, and it is the duty of the ollicers to convince tho men that they will not be hit. They should even ex pose themselves to severe fire if necessary to assure the men. When I was in tho Sixth Cavalry down in North Carolina we had a lot of new men. A charge was ordered and the first company advanced. They wcro iu nn open road closo by a piece of woods. At the first volley from tho enemy they took to tho woods. Then I ordered up the second company. Tho men were white as ghosts, but they rode through the tire, 'the cavaliy charge is with relvolvers pointed in the air, and at tho word "lire" the barrel is dropped and the volley fired. In this charge tho men were so excited that most of their shots went straight up in the air or over the heads of the enemy. A couple of months later the same men would ride and fire as steadily and drop their bullets close tc the object aimed at. It requires more uervc for men to stand and receive than to ride forward and re turn it. The excitement of firing helps keep the men's courage up. Only vet cans will go steadily forward when men ore dropping on nil sides. I remembei one charyo when I expected to get hit. I had to lead a cavalry charge right in tho face of the enemy's fire. It seemed like suro death to attempt I destroyed all of my papers nnd wo went out with a rush. The enemy was so astoni-hed that they dropped their guns and ran, leaving us to gather in some prisoners and leave tho ground clear for the in fantry. I remember an incident at Chapulte pec th it tried tho nerve of the men. A forlorn hope was ordered and every tenth man was told oh. Ono of the men who was detailed was so badly frightened that he became very sick. He was con vinced that he would bo shot, but he went through tho charge, received a ba'l on his belt plate nud came out all right. Ho was nftrrward a Captain iu tho civil war and stiod fire without flinching. He died n natural death after tho wai Photosn-npliin? liillo Bullets. The interesting process of photograph ing rille bullets iu motion, by means of the electric light, presents some rcmurk- : able phenomena, judging from the ex -i perimeuts made by Much, the Austrian I chemist. In this operation his plan is ! to illumine the bullet by letting it break an electric current formed, but the 1 velocity of the bullet must exceed that ; of sound, in order that the conditions of ! the air beforo and behind the projectile ' can be shown. After various experi I meats ho succcded in his efforts to photograph projectiles tired by Wernnl and Jurdo guns, having respectively an initial velocity of -los and 5:10 meters per second. The photographs obtained iu this manner showed an air formation , in front of the bullet having the form of nn hyberhole, whilo behind it almost a vacuum was formed, in which, when the initial velocity was very great, theie , wero some curious spiral motions. From I the description giveu, thero appeared 1 from these photographs to bo 11 great ' similarity between tho motion of a body ' through the water and that of a pro jectile tlirougb. tue air.

She, or he, may make pastry that will melt in tho mouth, salads tlint inspire verse, and brown gravies that are tho envy of all, but if ttie potato cornea to the table a heavy, sodden ball, or a nasty, discolored muss, we kuow that the education of that cook is not ounplete. In the first place tho potatoes should be carefully peeled, nnd the shape that nature gave I hem preserved, instead of chipping oil the outside until they look like ob ects with which to illustrate some geometrical problem. Those that niit-t be cut I ecause of imperfections can b; cooked and laid aside for warm ing up. After they aio peeled they should lie for a while iu cold water, and wheu put to boil, which fhould bo just half nn hour befoie they aro to be served, should be put into boiling water; lifter boiling about fifteen or twenty minutes a handful of salt should be sprinkled over them. There should not be too n uch water, just enough to cover them, and should not boil too rapidly, as tho outside will t'aku oil. The dish in which they aro to be served should be well warmed and a napkin laid in the bottom. As soon as the potatoes tiro done, care fully lift them from tho boiling water into the dish by placing a kitchen fork under them, nnd nt ouco put a warm napkin over them and let them staud two or threo or live minutes, then re move the top napkin nnd serve them, nnd you have a delicious, white, mealy ball that is un ornament to any dinner table, and a gue.-.t will bo suro to ask : "Where do you buy such delicious po tatoes.'"'

Gnrdner, port surgeon nt the Washington (I). C. ) barracks, re cently delivered a lecture on hemor rhages and their treatment. It should be known in the first place, ho said in the the Star's report, and alwaya remem bered, that the arteries are the tubea which carry the blood from the heart to all parts of tho body, whilo tho veins conduct the blood from tho extremities back to the heart. The wounding of these blood vessels nre tho most common injuries to which mankind is liable, and when the rupture pertains to the arteries the result is speedily fatal if not sub. jetted to immediate and proper treat ment. Suppose that one should be cut in the arm, which is so often the case when, in a difficulty, ono is warding ofT the blow of nn assailant. If a blood vessel is severed tho victim turns pale, sickens at the stomach, a cold, clammy sxveat col lects on the brow, and tho pulse xveak ens and runs up from seventy to eighty to 120. What should be done. Avoid excitement, crowding the patient or giving a stimulant. In nine cases out of ten mistnken kindness administers liquor, which of nil things is the worst, as it excites the heart to vigorous action and increases the flow of blood. Bear this in mind always, he said. If the blood is bright red and comes from tho wound in interrupted spurts it is from the artery, and a compress, or tourni quet, should bo placed above or between tho wound nnd heart. A compress can be easily made by twisting a handker chief and tying a heavy knot iu the center and then tying tho haudkerchicf loosely around tho arm, placing the knot first tied directly over the artery, which, it xvill be found, runs down the insido of tho arm. A cane or short stick, or in the army, a bayonet, will answer, should be run through tho bight or loop on the outer side of the arm, and the handker chief drawn bo tightly by twisting the stick that the pressure of tho knot will stop the flow of blood until the arrival of a physician. Should the blood be dark scurlet, or pour from the wound in a steady stream, it is from a vein, nnd the compress should be placed below tho wound and ou tho outsido of the arm. It is often necessary to place a compress on both the inner sido and outer side of the arm A stab in the back is nearly always fatal if a blood vessel is cut, owing to the difficulty of getting at the vessel to stop the l.ow of blood. In such cases the work of a surgeon is all that can avail anything, and too often even that is unsuccessful. Thigh, leg, or feet wounds, when blood vessels aio severed, are trentod much in the same way as tho arm. Cuts on the inside of the thigh or leg are most dangerous, as there tho femoral, or main artery, lies expo.-ed, and unless com pressed nt once a man would be deud in ten minutes. The position of tho fem oral urtery can be ascertained by feel ing xvith the hand, us its pulsations are in unison with the throbbing of the heart. G'enoral Packenham, who com manded tho l.nglish forces at the battle of Nexv Orleans, January f, 1S1", xvas wounded through this urtery nnd bled to death before a surgeon could arrive. The urtery of the legdivides just bo fore the knee-joint into three smaller vessels, nnd in case of hemorrhage from cuts or otherwise it is best, he suid, to npply the compress directly and firmly over the wound. The same rule obtains in wounds of the hands and feet. Hemor rhages of tne head, chest and abdomen nre almost universally fatal, for the rea son that it is diiiit ult to get at the severed vessels to stop tho I'ow or to ligature them, or from the laceration of somo vis cous xvhose integrity is necessary to life, or fiom inflammation from tho passage of a projectile or weapon. At the same time, however, ministrations to the af flicted should not cease until the victim is inevitably dead, for iu many instauces injuries xvhh h at first sight seem to be necessarily fatal have been iccovercd from. llr. Cauluer cited as an example his personal observation of the body of the lato Geuerul Fainsworth, on which ho counted thirty two scars received in battle from shell, shot, swords, nnd bay onets, many of them seemingly fatal, though he recovered and lived to die quietly iu his bed us a ( lui-tisu. He also personally knew General Schuyler Hamilton, who, when nido to General Seott during tho -Mexican war. was, whilo carrying an order, piened through tho body by a Mexican lance, the weapon entering the back just below tho right kidney and emerging from the front of tho abdomen. Ho recovered and served in the late war. Perhaps the most wonderful instance of recovery was that of a man working on a railroad in Massachusetts. While ramming a blast in a rock the powoer was ignited anil a premature explosion ensued, blowing the steel itur.mcr, about two feet long nud one inch thick, thiough l is head, entering below the lelteyeund coming out at the top of his head. He recoveied, went to California and was iu business theie many years. When he died he willed his skull to lr. Henry Bigelow.theatleuding physician, aud it is now in the 111 cd cal museum at Harvard.

Ctn'un. ONE MORE. When man and time itself were peers. In the far days before the flood. And living souls had flesh and blood, Fivo hundred or a thousand yeurs, Till birthdays grew a mist? guoss, What signitind one more or lessi Ah me! no thought may now contemn That unit of the lives of men, Whose dwindled years ore one to ten Of Adam and Methusnlem, And one hith all the cares that grew In twenty when the world was new. A year! 'tis nature's morn and night, The lifetime of a plant, with dower Of seed and sprout and leaf and flower; And yet liefore its snows are white We claim the next, and plan to run Another journey round the sun. Our course of being hnth no goal, Alone in passing youth or ago The onward step, tho further stage, Is counted by the insatiate soul, Thut haunts ths l-'uturo's open door And cries for one to-morrow more. And though the new to-morrows beam On thankless slight and wilful waste, And greed of mortals crazed with haste, Who hope nnd scheme und wish and dream Still, added to life's growing sum, In mercy one by one they come. One more reprieve from sorrow's stress, Ono more delay for duty's stent, One more probation to repent, One more condition of success We ever crave. Tho boon is lent; We take hut we nre not content Do Now Years rise and set in vain Because unensy spirits fret; Not so: the world hath wisdom yet, And punctual sense of present gain, And faith, whoso patieni waits so long Its yearning doeth tiiui no wrong. And Heaven.that chides the rash and blind, Relents when love of life entreats. And still wilh granted seasons meets The common prayer of all mankind, An 1 gives eternity whose store Of years forover yields one more. 1'inron Brown, in Youth's Companion. HUMOR OF THE DAY.
