HIS LAST TATTOO.
O LONG AS POSTS
, and historians con
tinue to weave
pretty stories of
personal valor, and
they will do it as
long as a spark of
patriotism burns In
the human breast,
no class of heroes
will find greater fa
vor among the
masses, or whose
heroic feats will bring the fire back to
the veteran’s eye surer, than the brave
little fellows who sounded the reveille
or beat taps. Bugle boys and drummer
boys have figured often and conspicu
ously in the annals of 'war. And no
where in history have we more or
brighter examples of this kind than in
the records of the Civil War, on both
sides—Confederate and Union.
The story of Harry Baldwin's un
swerving loyalty to the old flag, and
his fearlessness of death for the cause
he had so nobly espoused, affords a
bright example of this ‘kind. He be
longed to a New York regiment—I am
sorry that I have forgotten its number,
though that hardly matters as long as
I remember the main facts of his ad
ventures—and he was the life and heart
of his older comrades.
In truth, our little drummer boy was
looked upon with so much favor, and he
had shown such clear-headed ability on
certain dangerous occasions, that when
the commander felt anxious to learn
certain particulars in regard to the en
emy he delegated Harry to go upon the
.hazardous mission.
"Keep your eyes open, my boy, as I
know you will, and I will risk you to go
where I would not dare send any scout
of mine, but I must warn you to never
forget that you are in the enemy’s coun
try, and that a single mistake will cost
you your life. I shall not put you from
my thoughts until I see you safely back
here with the news I am so anxious to
have.”
Feeling, as every true soldier should,
the Importance of his perilous under
taking, Harry started forth on his re
connolssance. It was already growing
dusky in the deeper forest, and soon the
shades of night would enable him to
push his way Into the vicinity of the
Confederate army with greater safety.
He knew very well that It lay encamp
ed behind the low mountain range that
ran for ten miles or more north and
Bouth, with here and there a broken link
affording passage to the other side. I
say he knew they were there, but had
he known their exact location, this
night trip would not have been neces
sary.
His clothes covered with dust, and
his limbs aching from the day's hard
marching, the drummer boy moved
somewhat wearily through the moun
tain gap, while the shadows fell deeper
and darker around him. It was a wild,
lonely place, though he gave little heed
to his surroundings other than to watch
them closely for some Indication of the
enemy that he felt might be lurking un
comfortably near.
Still nothing occurred to excite hts
suspicions, until a gradual lifting of the
shadows ahead told him that he was
approaching the other side of the range,
and that It behooved him to move with
even greater caution than hitherto.
Thus his surprise may be Imagined
when, as he was silently crawling
around a jagged arm of one of the foot
hills, he found himself In the midst of
a squad of Confederate Infantry.
Discovered by them before he could
beat a retreat, he was captured in the
twinkling of an eye, to be dragged away
toward the headquarters of the south
ern commander, charged with being a
spy!
After seeing that he was securely
bound, hands and feet, he was placed
under a strong guard, to await trial In
the morning. A long, tedious night It
was to mm, too,
though his first
and greatest con
cern was over the
d I s appointment
his non-appear
ance would bring
upon the Union !
general. But It
was in vairi for
him to berate
himself for any
carelessness o f
which he may
A BODY OF UNION CAVALRY,
have J>een guilty. The stern fact of his
captivity remained and could not be
reasoned away. He must abide by the
consequence.
The sun was beginning to show its
bright face over the crest of the moun
tain as the drumhead court-martial was
ordered, and he was led forth to be
tried and convicted as a spy.
“Rather young to be caught in such
business,” remarked the grim official.
"Pray, what use have the Yanks for
such infants as you? I was not aware
they were driven to such straits for sup
porters.”
“I am a drummer boy, sir,” replied
Harry, proudly, "and as such, I believe,
I have ever done m: duty.”
“Oh-ho! so that’s It? Well, you look
and act like a gritty one, and the boys
say you resisted them last night tooth
and nail. Say, it's a pity one so young
and smart should be shot down like a
dog. Do you want to live, my little
drummer boy?”
"My life Is my country’s, sir. If I can
serve her better by dying than living
I am content.”
"Bah! You do not realize that you are
to be shot at sunset. There Is only one
hope for you. Your life shall be spared
upon one condition.”
"And that?” asked the brave boy.
"Is that you will be our drummer.
Promise to beat the drum for us as well
as you have for the Yanks and your life
shall be spared.”
“Never!” cried the young patriot. “I
would rather be shat than be a rebel.”
Perhaps the heart) of the Confederate
was touched by thlsl display of heroism.
but not sufficiently lor him to mitigate
his sentence, and Ihe little prisoner
went back to his giarded tent, doomed
to be shot as a spr at sunset.
All that Uvelon/ day the little drum
mer under sentence of death heard the
Incessant bustle>/of camp life without.
knowing that Some important movement
waa on toot.' And while he wondered
what It meant, his thoughts would go
back to that other army and that other
chieftain, who, by now, must have
ceased to look for him. He wondered
how his failure to return would be re
ceived. And then his thoughts took a
longer flight, going back to that old
home In the Empire State, and to the
loved ones he could not hope to see
again. Perhaps the tears glistened' In
his eyes as he thought of It all; but
there was no sign of fear In his de
portment when, at the fated hour, he
was led forth to die.
“By Jove! he’s sure to break down be
fore the signal Is given,” said the
sergeant who had charge of the squad
to place him In position for the closing
act In the awful drama.
Harry heard the words, and suddenly
lifting his head, he said;
“Give me a drum, sir, and I will play
a tattoo while you shoot me.”
"Did you ever?” exclaimed the officer.
“I swear 'tls a pity to shoot him like
this. But orders are orders, though
you may get nlm a drum, Sawyer. He
will forget while he plays.”
By the time Harry was blindfolded a
drum was put into his hand, when he
instantly struck up the spirited notes
which had so often given life and hope
to his old regiment of gallant soldiers.
No doubt the boy drummer did for
get the deadly danger that menaced
him as he caught up the beloved strain
and sent out to hill and valley the music
of which he was master. And If he for
got so did his captors for the moment.
The grim phalanx stood silent and mo
tionless while It waited for the stern
command that was to end all.
Moments are priceless sometimes, and
the brief while that Harry Baldwin held
his enemies spellbound by his last
tattoo saved him his life, for suddenly
the clear notes of the drum were
drowned by the lusty shouts of men.
Then a body of Union cavalry flung
itself upon the surprised Confederates.
Amazed, bewildered, confident that no
small body of trops would throw them
selves single-handed upon overwhelm
ing forces, they broke and fled In wild
disorder.
The flight was short but decisive, and
only a few minutes later the bandage
was torn from the drummer boy’s eyes
by friendly hands, and he was borne in
triumph back to the Union army.
A GIRL HERCULES.
Five Yean Old and Can Lift More Than
Twice Her Own Weight.
Up In the hills and health-giving at
mosphere of Sullivan county Uvea a
veteran of the civil war named John
H. Laird, and It was the fame of his
5-year-old daughter, Jessie Maud, that
dragged a World reporte rover the in
terminable hills to Hurd's Settlement
yesterday. Jessie Maud, or Maud, as
she Is generally called. Is a child over
whose face and figure painters and
sculptors would make silly folks of
themselves. The little girl was accom
panied by brothers and sisters who
ranged in age from 12 down. The three
older girls, May, Mabel and Alice, were
sometimes tired, but Maud from the
time she could walk alone has appar
ently never known what it was to reach
the limit of her strength In any one
day’s exertions.
It was with great surprise that Farm
er Laird learned the mission of the re
porter who alighted at his comfortable
farm-house yesterday, but he couldn't
conceal the pride he felt. In the barn
yard near the entrance of the barn was
a coll or. spool of barbed wire weighing
slxty-two pounds.
“Lift it Cal,” said the farmer to his
oldest boy. The 11-year-old lad laid
hold of the crosspins which stuck out
at the end of the spool, and with a big
tug, which visibly tightened the cords
In the calves of his bare legs, raised it
a few Inches from the ground.
“Now Maud,” said the father, and the
little girl planted herself squarely be
hind the big spool, which reached up
to about midway between her knees
and her thighs. Without any percepti
ble effort she raised the spool
and held It for several seconds. If
there had been any reddening of the
face or puffing out of the veins the spec
tacle would not have been an edifying
one. But there was nothing of the sort.
Mr. Laird then placed stones which
weighed twenty pounds on top of the
spool and asked Maud to lift It again.
The result was precisely the same, and
all evidences of violent exertion were
missing. The combined weight of the
spool and stones was two pounds more
than double the weight of the little girl
herself. The average man weighs per
haps 150 pounds, but the man who can
raise from the ground and hold in the
air 302 pounds of dead weight Is a
great way above the average.—New
York World.
Two Negroes’ Subterranean Swim.
Word comes from Tallahassee, Fla.,
of a miraculous escape of two negro
fishermen fron. a horrible death. In
ttiat section there Is a creek that disap
pears In the ground, then flows under a
high mound, and at a distance of over
half a mile reappears with added force,
and volume. This is a great fishing
place, and scores of negroes are found
fishing at the upper end of the tunnel at
any time. Last week while a party of
twelve men were there two of them,
Bill Brooks and Josh Gill, fell into the
water and were almost instantly
whirled into the underground creek by
the swift current. Their horrified com
panions tried to rescue them, but in
vain, and they were swept away. The
party hastily rushed to the lower end
of the land where the creek reappears
and waited to recover the bodies.
Shortly both negroes shot through,
feebly struggling in the swift current,
showing slight signs of life. Several
men plunged in and brought them to
shore, and they were worked over for
an hour before they were out of dan
ger. This is the first time that such
an escape has been made. The negroes
regard It as a special act of Providence,
and revival meetings have been started
there by preachers.
Tax for the Widowers.
The English government taxed wid
owers in 1695, births of children and
christenings In 1783, deaths in 1783. mar
riages In 1695. and 1784, and the latter
tax, in the shape of license duty. Is still
retained.
A Kankakee mar tried to drown a
cat by wading out Into the river and
putting it under the water. The cat
came back, but the man took cramps
and was drowned.
CROWDED LONDON,
!V m O itlicrotl by Cion. Booth of the
Solvation Army.
:..i\ l'tooth has checked hla former
'• easurement of London poverty. He
'l-' previously Inquired how the people
I. , ’, and worked by one method. Now
0 trlee another, and compares the re
iulis. He hns divided London Into
II. out ninety trades or groups of trades,
and be has also classified the whole
population by the number of rooms they
occupy and the number of servants they
I cep. By this new method he has In
quired what proportion of London popu
lation Is "crowded” and "not crowded."
Then he has compared the figures with
those which, by his former methods,
told us the percentage who were "In
comfort" and the percentage who were
"In poverty.” The two sets of figures
cone out with what Mr. Booth calls
"startling similarity." He made out
before that nearly 31 per cent of Lon
don people were living In poverty. By
his new classification he finds about 31%
per cent "crowded." His 68% per cent
"not crowded" compare with a little
over 69 per cent declared In former
volumes to be "In comfort." These
similar results, however, are only ob
tained when London Is taken over Its
whole area. Some districts, as Mr.
Booth puts It, are more crowded than
they are poor, while others are more
poor than the,y are crowded. But the
common measure of London wealth and
poverty Is as close as we could expect
to get. Mr. Booth finds that four-fifths
of our population (80 per cent) live as
six, seven, or even eight In one room. A
families without servants, 11 per cent
only have servants, and the remainder
are Inmates of Institutions. Of those
without servants there are 180,000 so
very poor that they are living four, five,
six, seven, or even eight In one room. A
small proportlon'are represented as llv
(lng ten and over ten In one room; but,
happily, here Mr. Booth distrusts the
accuracy of the census enumerators.
Nearly 1,000,000 are living with only one
room for each person, or at most with
two rooms between three people, three
between five, or four between seven.
The "upper classes" are ranked with
those who have one servant or more
for fewer than four members In the
family, and Mr. Booth justly remarks
on their numerical Insignificance. They
number little more than 250,000, and of
these less than 100,000 enjoy the luxury
of living In families with three or more
servants. These tests of the condition
of the population of London, as a whole,
Mr. Booth Is now applying In detail to
the various groups of trades, and so In
this way gauging the prosperity of each
and accumulating Invaluable material

FIREFLY ON A MAMMOTH SCALE.
—
'J»ed by the Natives of the Wwt Indie*
as an Illuminator.
The great firefly—elater noctllucus—
Is an Inhabitant of the savannahs of
most of the warmer parts of America
and the West India Islands. It Is said
to attain a length of eleven and a half
Inches. In the gloom of night these files
are extremely luminous and the effect
Is brilliant. The light chiefly proceeds
from four parts—namely, from two
glandular spots behind the eyes and
one under each wing. They have the
power to cut off the light at will. In
which case the glandular spots become
perfectly opaque. The light of this won
derful Insect by Itself Is such that If the
creature be held In the palm of the hand
print or manuscript Is aB easily read as
by a candle. The aboriginal natives cage
these creatures and make use of them,
it is alleged, as lanterns. Ladles adorn
themselves with this electric-llke lumi
nary. It Is related of Don Domingo
Conde of Colombia that he would ap
pear on the evening promenade with a
large fi efly ornamenting the buckle of
his broad hat, while a band of smaller
luminous Insects surrounded It. The
same Spaniard lighted his palace with
fireflies In silver cages. The display
must have been enchanting, for at one
time the light Is ruddy, then there Is a
change to golden yellow. It Is stated
that when the Spaniards were about to
land one of their expeditions against
Mexico a panic was caused by these
luminaries. The host of flitting lights
on land was supposed to be an Indica
tion of the enemy arousing their camp
to resist the attack. When the English
were attacking the West India Islands
the fireflies were taken to be a Spanish
army advancing with burning matches
against them and the upshot was a
hasty retreat to the ships.
A New Band Saw.
It must be a valuable mechanism In
deed which fulfills the service claimed
for a newly Invented band saw—viz.,
the capacity to saw during both ihe for
ward and backward courses of the log
carriage. In this case the saw itself Is
provided with two sets of saw teeth,
facing in opposite directions', and Is sus
tained by the regulation band wheels,
and the operation as described consists
In a forward movement of the carriage
which brings the log In contact with the
teeth facing one way, while the retreat
of the carriage utilizes the teeth facing
the other way, assuring a considerable
economy of time and wear of the saw.
Any difficulty In reversing the “lead" or
angle of the saw face toward the log
to aocommodate the alternate motions
of the carriage is overcome by the log
carriage performing the reversed move
ment. The upper band wheel, which Is
moveable, is connected with the car
riage by means of a series of screw
shafting, well geared, the carriage runs
Its course in one direction clear of all
mechanism and with the wheel face
and saw resting thereupon, tilted at the
angle required to saw a slab from the
log—completing this course and revers
ing for the return, the carriage is in
stantaneously brought In contact with
pawl and ratchet, which, working In
conjunction with a rock shaft and pit
man, transmit—by means of the screw
shafting—a motion to the upper band
wheel, which throws the latter at an
opposite angle, and holds the saw In
readiness for Its work upon the log
while the carriage retreats. At the end
of the retreat the connection Is again
broken automatically and the carriage
again makes Its clear run.

PSYCHOLOGICAL!.Y CONSIDERS
HU WIU Was Congenitally Feeble—Wat
a Wretched Man.
The antl-vlvisectlonlsts sometime!
horrify ue by describing the poison
which paralyses all the active powers
of the body, while leaving- the senstblll
ties untouched. Coleridge offers a study
of that kind to psychologists, says the
National Review. His will, no doubt,
was congenitally feeble. “Indolence
capable of energies," as he says in a
remarkable passage of early self-por
traiture, was characteristic of his whole
appearance. He could absorb enormous
masses of reading and write or speak
with amaalng fluency, but the energy
could not be co-ordinated or concen
trated. It flowed hither and thither
spontaneously along the channels dic
tated by the dominant feeling of the
moment. As psychologists phrase it, he
had lost his power of “inhibition." He
could not suppress or restrain his emo
tions. He valued metaphysical research,
as he says In his pathetlo ode, because,
"Haply by abstruse research to steal
From my own nature all the natural
man,"
was his "sole resource, his only plan.”
He could distract his mind from one
pursuit by another, but could not force
his energies to converge upon a single
or distant aim. Painful emotions were
evaded, Instead of being met face to
face. When he heard suddenly at Malta
of John Wordsworth's death he tried to
stagger out of a public room, and before
he reached the door fell to the floor in a
convulsive hysteric fit and was ill for a
fortnight. He then declared that he was
unable to open any letters lest they
should bring news of the death of one of
his children. The Intensity of his feel
ings paralyzed Instead of stimulating
his powers. “Vexations and preylngs
upon the spirit," he says, "pluck out the
wing feathers of the mind." He Is like
a criminal upon the wheel, held down
not by chains but by Impotence of will,
feeling every blow with singular in
tensity, but only capable of meeting It
by shutting his eyes as long as possible
or trying to distract his mind by puz
zling over the problems most remote
from practical application.
BY BALLOON TO NORTH POLE,
Frenchmen Talk of Undertaking Sunk
an Kxpedltton.
Approaches to the north pole by
means of a balloon have often been
mooted, says the New York Times. If
the extreme north Is to be reached It
probably never will be accomplished
otherwise than by a passage In mid
air. This time the aeronaut Is a French
man and It really looks as If the at
tempt would be made. June 5, at a
meeting of the Academy of Sciences In
Paris, M. Faye reported favorably on a
project of reaching the north pole by
means of a balloon. The commission
of examination was composed of M.
Daubree, Blanchard and Faye, all well
known as Scientific men. The report
made was that M. Andre, an aeronaut,
had carefully studied the whole sub
ject. M. Faye stated that the project
of reaching the pole by means of a bal
loon was by no means novel. The belief
that there was an Interior sea In close
proximity to the pole has long been en
tertained. We are also told to think
that the point of extreme cold Is not at
the pole. The base of approach was to
be at Spitsbergen and If the balloon
were to ascend from some favorable
point there, taking advantage of the
air currents, the pole might be reached
In forty-eight hours. In July a study of
the air currents at Spitsbergen indi
cated a slow velocity In the one direc
tion and toward the pole. The wind
never blows with violence. The day
light is pretty nearly continuous. The
distance from some points of Spitsber
gen to the pole was about 8 degrees. In
fact, the distance to be run over by the
balloon was about the same as If France
had to be traversed. If two or three
days were taken by the aerial voyage
that time would quite suffice.
The Vn of I’eat.
The peat-bed la the embryo coal Held.
If peat-beds could remain undisturbed,
they would. In time, be transformed Into
mineral coal. They are composed of the
roots of plants which grow very rapidly,
interlacing and matting themselves un
til they are almost like a solid mass.
These roots die out below, but the top
layers are the crowns from which the
new growth springs every year. Nat
urally when they have remained for a
long time unmolested, the layer of roots
becomes enormously thick. Peat Is used
in almost all of the countries of Europe
for fuel. Recent investigations by the
Department of State assure us that the
cultivation of this plant and its utiliza
tion would be of the greatest advantage
to the poor who have to depend upon
coal for heating purposes. When peat
Is dug by those who understand Its val
ue, the top layer is taken off and care
fully put aside. The root growth is then
cut out and the sod is replaced and
pressed down to be ready for growth the
next season. It is often the case that
under the top layers tnere will be found
a quantity of root-stalks, leaves, and
sometimes trunks of trees. This be
comes quite solid and is called peat
flber. Below this there Is a black, pitchy
compound that In some instances, when
It has long been in position, may be cut
smoothly, showing a surface almost like
wax. This is the most valuable part of
the peat, and gives out a tremendous
heat and a good deal of black smoke.
Peat bogs must be drained and careful
ly managed in order to yield the best
results. Peat is cut out In blocks, and Is
sometimes pressed or molded Into shape.
Intelligence of Animate.
Many efforts have been made to teach
animals to discriminate and distin
guish objects; also to count and select
certain words or letters when told to do
so. One of the professors In the Zoo
logical Garden In London set about
teaching a chimpanzee various
branches of knowledge. After a long
time he succeeded In making it count
from one up to six. The creature would
take six pieces of straw and hand them
out to his teacher as they were counted.
After he passed the number six he be
came confused and seemed unable to
grasp any further Ideas. .The creature
could distinguish white from colors, but
could not tell one color from another.
Tired, Weak, Nervous
Could Not Sleep.
L- D. Edwards, of Preston.
Idaho, says: “I was all run down,
weak, nervous and Irritable through
overwork. I suffered from brain fa*
tlgue, mental depression, etc. I be*
came so weak and nervous that I
could not sleep, I would arise tired,
discouraged and blue. I began taking
Dr. Miles’ Nervine
and now everything is ohanged. I
sleep soundly, I feel bright, active
and ambitious. I can do more in ono
day now than I used to do in a week.
For this great good I give Dr. Miles’
Bestoratlve Nervine the sole credit.
It Cures.”
