"What's this bit of lend, captain?"
nsl:od the colonel's nephew, who hnd
dropped in on tho surgeon at his plain
quarters facing the parade.
"Apache bullet I" replied tho doctor
sententioitsly, with a carelessness that
evidently was assumed. "Dug it out
of I'ristow."
"Would you mind yarning mo tho

pni'd'iuable inquisitiveness.
"Certainly, I'll tell yon what I
know about tho lead," said tho sur
geon, laying down tho instrument ho
had been cleaning, nud offering his
civilian guest nu arm-chair upon
tho veranda. "Hut 'tis only a Bhort

kiud-hcartod, old Sawbones con
tinued :
"13ristow was a littlo dudo ono
among many dandies at the Point
back in the '70s. I took note of hira
whou I wns on duty there as assistant
surgeon. He camo to tho academy as
a dnpper youug city chap, inclined to
nir his pedigree and social advautnges,
until tho yearlings knockod all that
sort of tiling out of him iu plebe
cnnip. But ono thing thoso gray
coated tyrants never knocked out of
Bristow, and that was tin) stylo. Ho
was adandier fellow in endot-gray than
ever ho had bjen in dross-suit ami
kids, and tho first man in his clam to
take colors. lint ho wns always
thought to bo a bit too foppish and
airy in his manners, and his slight
build and rathor offjmiuato look ex
posed him to frequont ridicule at the
bauds of somo of tho strapping upper
classmen. And, indeed, I did
not very much take to him myself,
though ho was a distant relative- You
see," aud bore the doctor droppod his
voico, impressively, "there aro somo
poor sticks nt tho academy, as olso
whero, and it has boon well said by
Jones of the staff that 'tho only point
about some men in the army is West
Point.' Accordingly I did not givo
Bristow credit for the possession of
much grid and baokbone, until ono
day, in his' second-class year, when he
was brought over to tho hospital, hav
ing had a fall in the riding-hall, and
tbore and then bore himsolf with such
undeniable pluck whilo somo of us
worked over hira thnt I, at loast, be
gan to think that 'Kids,' as his class
mates called him, was worth his salt
after all, and might malio a soldier
aomoday."
"But all that doesn't explain tbo
bullet I" interrupted tho colonol's
nephew,
"No, that's a fact," replied the
surgeon. "We doctors are too garrul
ous. Well, the explanation of tho
bullet was a girl of oourse Gertrude
Creighton, the blithest belle of that
season at tho Point. Bristow was in
fatuated with her, little tool! It was
tho old story of the moth singeing its
wings at the candle. He thought tho
Point a paradise so lonig as Gertrude
trod its walks. He waa devotion
itself, and she, who had been without
a heart, let him thiuk aha favored
him.
"But the fond dream of bliss was
dissipated when graduation day ar
rived and the girl threw him over,
cover having had the least idea as
any of ns older ones oonld have told
him of roughing it upon the frontier
aa a soldier's bride-
"Bristow followed Gertrude to New-
port on his graduating leave but his
eutreaties were all iu vain, and siok at
heart he joined shortly after the th
Csvulry.tbeu in Arizona; for be eould
always ride and chose that arm of the
service. Out on the frontier he could
not be qnite the dude ho had been nt
tho Point, but still he wns always tho
best dressed subnltcrn in tho regiment.
He hnd money enough, for one thing.
"But to come now to tho bullet.
GertrndoCreighton married a Cur Ion,
tho son of a rich mine-owner. Pater
familias Cnrton wanted this youthful
scion to make a short trip with n
view to looking lifter somo of his in
terests in tho West. Anil so it ciimn
to pass that ono day out in Arizona
this same young Cm-ton, iu company
with a few prospectors, ran right into
a small baud of Apaches, For a timo
they stood the In linns off, while ono
of Cnrton's crowd got away and
brought tho nous into Fort Blister.
It didn't take long for n detail, under
command of the dudo sub, to mount
and bear away for tho pcotio of tho ex
citement. "But the messenger hnd underrated
tho number of tlio Apaches, nu I for
oueo our colonel had erred iu judg
ment with regard to tho sizoof tho de
tachment ho sent out. Tho Apaches
wi i o too proud to be driven off by Bris-
tow's little squad. When the troopers
arrived they found n serious pieco of
business on their hands. Tho pros
pecting party had been nearly cut to
pieces. Only one or two mrvived.
Ono of theso was Cnrton, and ho was
badly wounded. Bristow, tho Cist
sergeant said afterward, started vio
lently when ho saw him, nud for n
moment wns quito unnerved. Bristow
hnd met Curtou i.i past vents and
knew of couibo that ho was Gertrude
Croiyhton's husband.
"But a shout restored Bristow to his
senses. Tlio Apaches, yelling and
flourishing their rillos, wero rushing
down upon tho doomed group of pros
pectors, thinking by a sudden rush to
snatch their prey before it was secured
by the troopers. 'Kids' gave a quick
order for a counter charge, and then
riding for all ho was worth riding ns
ho onco rodu nt the academy dashed
across the intervening gully nud was
at Curtou's side iu a twinkling. Lift
ing his now wounded rival on his own
horse, with a kick ho sent the animal
at a mud gallop off to refugo buhiud
our littlo lino. Cut-ton, half dazed,
only heard him say, as ha lifted him on
tho horse: 'Tell yottr wife that it
wns joy to die to save her husband I'
"Yes, that is the ball I cut out of
Bristow," sighed the doctor. "An
Apncho put it into him just after Cur
ton swept n-.vay to safety. Of course
our men got tho body. And I kept
tho ball.
"3ut th'ira goes 'sick e ill I " ex-
claimed Sawbonei, jumping up.
"Well, Bristow may hnvo been n kid-
gloved hero, but he was a hero all tho

zine. The Color of the Eyes.
Tho latest subjects of statistical in
quiry are light and dark eyes, and aa
tho result of sundry responses to
quostious propounded in various coun
tries and duly authenticated, it has
boon discovered (and not merely dis
covered but nlso provod) thnt, taking
the nverngo of Europe nud America,
44.0 is tho percentage of men having
light eyes, including blue and gray.
Tho proportion of girls and women
having bine or gray eyes is by
the same computation 84.2 peroent.
In other words, blue eyes are deoided
ly rarer among women than auioug
men, aud it is for this reason, per
haps, that blue eyes, especially iu com
bination with blond hair, nro es
teemed bo highly as a feature of fcin
iuiuo beauty.
Men have light eyes oftener than
womcu; but in tho inform id into grade
of color between light aud dark tho
percentage of the two sexos is very
nearly if not q iito tho same. In this
intermediate category aro brown and
hazel eyes, neither pure light nor
gounine black. Tho peroeutago of
these among men is 43. 1, and among
women 45.1. The percentage of dark
or, more properly, black, eyes is
turgor among women, being 20,7 per
cent, of the whole number, while
amoug men it is 12.3 IVrhaps it is
the relative rarity of dark eyes among
men whioh establishes the rule that
dark-eyed men are esteemod more by
women to be more fortunate iu the
color of their eyes than blue-eyed
men.
The figures upon which these per
centages are based are the result of
inquiries not prosecuted in one or
more of the countries of Europe or
one or more states of the Uuited
States, for, as is well kuown, iu
southern European countries dark
eyes both among men aud women pre
dominate, while light eyes nro to be

Virtues or Hot Water.
Hot water has fur more medical vir
tues thrill lii iny believe or know. Be
cause it is so easily procured, thou
sands thiuk it valueless. Tho uses of
hot water are, however, many. For
example, there is nothing that so
promptly cuts short congestion of the
luugs,sore throat or rheumatism as hot
water when applied promptly nn d
thoroughly. Hendacho almost always
iel Is to tho simultaneous application
of hot water to tho feet and back of tho
ueck. A towel folded several times nnd
dipped iu hot water, and quickly wrung
out nud applied over tho painful
part in toothncho or lieitralgin, will
getimnlly nlTord prompt relief. A
strip of flannel or napkin folded
lengthwise nnd dipped in hot water
nud wrung out, an 1 then applied
around tho neok of a child that bus
tho croup, will sometimes bring re
lief in ten minutes. Hot water taken
freely half nu hour beforo bedtime is
helpful iu the ense of constipation,
whilo it hns a most soothing effect
upon tho stomach and bowels. A
goblet of hot water taken just after
rising, beforo breakfast, has cured
thousands ot indigestion, nnd no
simplo remedy is more widely rocom
meuded by physicians to dyspeptics.

MILKING MACHINE.
A Wonderful Apparatus in Opera

Cows Milked by Mechanism.
Enjoy the Performance
One of tho most Interesting reports
Issued from tho Stnto department nt
Washington for somo timo has just
mndo its appearance. It is from
Thomas B. O'Neill, United States con
sul at Stockholm, Sweden, nml is a
description of a milking machino iu
tiso in that country. The report will
bo rend with delight by tho farmers
and their wives aud daughters. It is
as follows :
By friendly permission of Dr. do
Lnvut, I had tho pleasttro of seeing
this wonderful machino In operation
ou his estnto, Lilln Ursvilt, Spangn
county, Sweden, where experiments
have been going on sinco October
Inst under the management of Mr. Abr.
Forssell.
It has been thoroughly tested nnd
found perfectly satisfactory to intro
duce to farm owners. Tho milking
itsulf that is, tho evacuation of tho
llddor is effected by mere mechanical
working of tho teat.aud not, ns lately
appeared iu tho press, by combined
squeezing nnd sucking. Artificial
suction has proved to bo rather im
Jiracticil and injurious when repeated
too often, nnd this is tho reason why
such a method has been omitted iu
constructing thu laetator.
Tho milking is doiio by two special
"organs," or a pair of cylindrical rub
ber rollers that catch tho teat nt the
root, thus shutting off tlio milk there
in. The rollers theu move downward
to tho lower part of tho teat, from
whence tho milk is squeezed out by
two plates moving parallel with eneh
other. Tho function of tho rollers is
rendered possible by a hold above
the so-called roof that is regularly
moved ngninst the udder, whereby a
slight thrust is given the udder, some
thing like tho knock that the calf
gives when sucking, which facilitates
the descending of the milk iu the
teats, ns well as tho secretion of tho
milk in tho vesicles of tho udder.
Every milking machine has four dif
ferent iirms, one for each tout, which,
although with n joint nxle, work in
dependently of each other, nnd even
alternate in their movements. Their
ndiiptntiou to tho udder is done in
stantly. Tho nrms move very easily
ou point nud spring ntt ichmonts iu
every direction without losing tho
necessary steadiness. Tho pressure
ngaitist the udder is affected through
tho apparatus being fastened ou to n
horizontal rod, nnd so balanced thnt
the front part whioh coutains tho driv
ing mechanism, nnd is consequently
heavier, presses tiio lighter back part
ngninst tho udder. This pressure can
be increased, if necessary, by loading
tho front part still more.
Tho nxle that is common to tho four
arms acts on u very ingenious, but, nt
tho Binne timo, very simplo system of
eccentric pulleys and levers. The
rotation of tho nxlo is effected
through a cord thnt is lod over the
heads of tho cows, nnd is common to
all machines. Through a simplo
coupling, this cord gives speody rota
tion to the flexible axlo.throngh which
the rotation is communicated to the
nxlo of the four arms by means of a
coupling, which is done iu an instant.
The placing of the apparatus on the
cow is a very easy performance. A
belt thnt carries tho rod is strapped
on the cow with a single bucklo. Tho
apparatus is first started aud then put
on the rod, and the different arms are
adjusted under their respective tents,
which the rollers then immediately
seize, aud tho milking begins.
Tho milk is conducted through fun-nol-shnped
so-olled "teat protectors"
and short rubber tubus to a small tin
cup thnt is hanging in these tubes,
from whence, through a vacuum nr
raugemuut, it is drawn up to a tin
bucket that hangs over the head of the
cow. From the moment tho milk
leaves the teat protectors till it gets
into the tin bucket, it has not bad
any connection with the onter air.
Even if the apparatus works awhile
after the udder gives no moro milk,
and consequently the cup becomes
empty, no air enters on acoount of an
autoinatio arrangement, and this has
the result that tbo milk is as free as
possible from bacteria and keeps
longer. i
By using the laetator the great
trouble to procure aud control dairy
maids is avoided; besides tho milking
ia done in a suSloieutly cleau manner
to meet all hygieuio demands. The
dairy produots will, of oourse, -' be
oome more valuable.' The cows seem
to enjoy beiug treated by the machine.
(Juecr Things About Ear.
Tho Anthropological Society met
recently in tho parlors of tha Cosmos
Club, Madison placa and II. street
northwest.
Dr. D. S. Lamb opened with n lec
ture, tntitled "A Study in Ears."
There wns a pronounced dilTerenco In
cars, ho sal 1, even when tho cms of
nuimnls ot tho same species were
considered. This, together with the
different opinions of tho several speci
alists, inadu positlvo figures al
most impossible, Generally speak
ing, however, there wero rolntlve
marks which gavo n fair index
of tho chnrncter. For instance, it
was neatly positive that in tho brute
kingdom, at least, small, well-formed
enrs meant intelligence. The size of
ears showed tiiueli. Taking n basis
of fifty degrees for tho medium organ,
the ilifiY-rciico could bo traced mi
nutely. Tha professor illustrated
theso remarks with tho nid of charts,
compiled from Topinard indexes.
A'ain, he said, there wns much in
tho position of tho ear. Some claimed
that tho organ's nido extension from
tho head invariably meant criminality,
nil other things being equal. Of
conrso, other than natural influences
might have something to do with that
observation, admitting as au example,
that a child sleeping on ouo oar con
stantly would causa tho organ of that
side to grow uenrcr to the head.
Head dress in certain countries
affected this to somo extent.
The power of moving tho organ of
hearing portrayed to n certain extent
the influences of life. Animals iu
constant clangor had this power to a
ri-mai knblo degree, but Darwin
claimed man hud lost it entirely
through the general nbsenoo of its
need. Still some peoplo could move
the ear remarkably well, espedially
upward nud backward. F.eturuing to
tho flat ear, the doctor said that somo
claimed nuimnls which used their teeth
ns weapons always had the flat ear.
IIo would not vouch for this. Wash

Ou the outspread wings of a seven
teen-year or Plinronh locust, the line
of tho letter W can be cloarly traced,
There is a popular superstition that
the letter W means war.
Iu lH'Jl these locusts appeared nnd
mulched across the country on a
sweeping lino of devastation. The
Japanese-Chinese war, tho most
momentous nfl'air of its kind in the
present decade, followed iuiiuodintcly
after. Just seventeen years beforo
the noisy pent was ngain ubrond nnd
that was the year .before the great

in again, and 18GJ was tho year be
foro the Civil war. In 1843 the locust
again cast itself upon tho nation, nud
tho Mexiciu war occurred ono year
after.
Back of this few remember whether
the locust was on hand or not, but if
there is any logic tl pjrtinonoy iu his
