"A mental twis!" is another favorite ex cus". It is coiisid'Td to satisfactorily aci-ount for anything from a violent temjier, incurable laziness, or inveter ate lying, to a mere disregard of ordi nary manners; and for the reality of the supposed twist" a mad cousin or an cei-eiitric grandfather Is accepted as ample explanation. There is no (Uestlon that there is a giod deal in heredity, a good deal in environment, to shale one's course and condition; but In lit cases in loo there is a good deal more direct force and Influence for good or il! in the child's home. It is easy for parents to put the re sponsibility back a generation or two. or sidetrack it to some collateral branch, but the larger share of re sponsibility is usually in the child" own home. If there be it gisid father and a good mother there, the grand father's faults and sliorb-oming iiih.v lie buried with him. The other day in Kentucky two Ihijs. neither over 17 and neither having the characteristic traits that mark the tixed criminal, were hanged for murder. They were deserving of death their crime wm fiendish beyond description. Yet they were but victims, not of bad uncles or eccentric grandfathers, or general environments, but of parents who fail ed to act their part and to make home what it ought to le. Every day, in every city in the world, children have to 1k dealt with for the sins of their parents, it Is impossible, of course, for people t be perfect In their atti tude as parents, as ft is impossible fot tlietii to lie perfect In anything, else but there is no ex'-us" for the failures, worse than criminal, that are so com mon. Kor children who are orphaned the whole world warms with sympa thy. Hut for the many more children worse than orphaned the children of incompetent parents the world ha prisons and gallows. Heredity and environment have inflnein-e ti;iou every life; but there Is little of that infill ence, if it be bad, that the home can not correct and overcome if It be what home should be. .Neckwear to Order.

"I saw two men on horseback near the dead angle at Kenesaw." said Icorge lit ake, of Clinton, low a. "The Kighty -fifth H'iiiois led the charge !uue ITT, formed in chrse order as skir .nisheni aloug the full brigade front, mid I was one of the skirmishers. I was in Company K, on the left of the ine and went do- to the rels-1 works, ty, wi:hiLtwei;ty five feet. Aswest.M) .'iritis I noticed two otticers on horse 'ack very near me. line rode a white i-irse and the other a dark chestnut. The one on the white horse was lien rai llatker. I am sure. Turning t. 'tie he asked. "What command Is this? lid uhcu I answered, 'MWisik's irigade," he turned behind uie aud nule at a gallop to the left. "At the same time the man on the chestnut horse tururd back to the .i--iit, am) I saw neither one after i:at. 1 ren;e;nlKT distinctly the oili er on the wl.ite horse. He was the u jst nmsjiicuous on the Held, and he ; vas w ithin thirty fe. t of the rdsd ; vorks. I remember that I thought at the time that the riding of a white ..ore lu micu a charge was an exam ple of the finest courage, Hnd that it us like Marker. The officer on the dark chitnut horse went lu a direc tion to bring him in line w ith the, otli- er seen by Major I'.akin. of the C. nil-derate regiment in our front, llark- r, It Is known, was killed to our li ft ud rear. My theory Is that In the linult of the charge lie had ridden a .ittle to the right of his brigade, and 'hat lu going across to his own men ne was shot. l!ut. after all, who was ie otticer on the dark chestnut horse v -en by myself and the rebels defend ing the works? "1 notice that a good ninny men are 1 still in doubt as to the utility of the bayonet a 'id seem reluctant to believe there were any hand-to-hand conflicts luring the war. There was one at luiieslioro, In which one bayoti-t was iised effectively. Our brigade bad charged a battery and the men were irnong the guns when one of the rebel .miners running back to his gun was just In the act of tiring It when a man of the Seventy -eighth Illinois took in the situation. There was a cluster of twenty men directly in front of that gun and a pull of the string meant death t.i most of them. The rebel l ad been ordered to turrender and the men .near the gun supposed he had sur.-en-lered, when he changed his miiel aud I decided to give us one more shot for luck. "It was a brave thing lo do. Im! It was a tei.lble thing for ns and re ouired ouick action. My comrade of the Seventy-eighth Illinois kih us quick as a flasn of lightning, it seemed to me. He thrust at the man lu a way to push him .lack from the gun. and his bayonet went dear thniug':i the rebel's body. We left him. as we sup posed, dead, but at a later date I found him in one or our hospitals at Atlan ta, bv the side f one of our ow n men. wounded the same day. He got well. and if .ie Is living to-day lie knows that bayonets were used dining the war In a very rec'-.less way." 'There v as another hand-lo-hand tussle lu the light on the Saint I ow n road in the Atlanta campaign. We charged tbe rebel works and climbed on top just as the rebels tired a volley. The bullets went over our heads and the next minute we looked down on the Louisiana Tigers with empty gutis in their hands. All our men had held their fire and we thrust the mu.z'es of our rifles in the very faces of the men below us and demanded them to sur render. Some few attempting to push the guns away were shot, but the most of them surrendered without cere mony. As one of them said, they knew their time had come and that the ques tion of surrendering was not open to debate." "I had some doubts." said the ser geant "about hand to-hand struggles during the first year of the war. Our regiment did good work at Shlloh, but didn't (mine to close quarter witli the eiiemv. We m"de our mark at Pcrry- ville. but not at dose range, and I wondered if any battle was fought In which men strove against each other within reach of bayonet or sword. At Stone Klver we charged at a run against a reliel line. 1 exected the old tiiiuar to happen, and the ene my to break. I shook from head to foot as I saw the rein-Is start on a run and at a charge bayonets to meet us. I could see the hair and eyes and facial expression of the rebels as they came steadily and swiftly toward us. "I could see a short man making his legs do their best, and a long-legged fellow In advance. I felt this thing couldn't go on without bayonet s'.rlk lag bayonet, and without the , lines crashing together. The crash came sooner than I expected, and not quite In the wsv I expected. About half of our men went through or over tin1 rebel line, some of us coming dow n on our beads and other on their feet. It was undignified and confusing, and when we turned, we found men m gray standing hnck to back fighting both; ways. There was little or no shoot !ng. but a giving and taking of hard blows! and a good deal of lougli-and-tumbbM crapping. Finally one of the rebel shouted: 'What's the use? Why in! thwider df n't somebody ask ns to siir-1 render? Thereupon all our fellows kbonted Uirrenderr and down went tne muskets of tne rebels caught be tween our line. "There wasn't tn unbmlsed man In our company, but we felt like bird when i he rebels threw down tbelr guns and shed their cartridge boxes aud belts. They weut to the rear, and we went slam bang into anoiher re!-l Ijie. which, yielding at first, rallied ! and drove us back. Then we rushed ; theui and broke their line, and I never ! felt happier in. my life than when I ! saw the men in gray s.ninpcr away ' into the cedars. At Chirkamauga we waited for the rebs to charge, aud they broke us all up. Some of our bo were .' comi.letely knocked out that they ran a mile like scared hornes. in i the Iielief that the whole army bad ! been routed and that the only thing ) to do was to get off the Held. Then j they slowed up. came to their senses, j turned and ran the other way, and. falling in anywhere, fought like wild cats to the end. crashing at odd timet j into the rdsd lines with the devil I imiv-carc insolence of football players in a tu-sle.

As the men of the ar riving regiments st,oI a minute wait ing for orders one of them, looking up t our regiment, postal on a mlge. s.ii.1. after the manner of one farmer talking across a fence to another: 'A!' snarled up, ain't you'r What's Old Pup Thomas trying lo do?" One of our liii. g.niic:iig down in a io-iko- Isirly way. repliid: 'He is trying to drive the Johnnies back, and he is very particular ab nit It. He wsnts to hold these roads.' Then, as the waiting regiment m ved off to take nosltion. the man who had asked the question said, in an easy, unexcited wa: "You I' ll Old Pan th" roads are his. And if he sees anything else lie wants just let him mention it.' And In (en minutes that regiment was climbing il hill in the face of the ene my's tire. Years after the war I heard (bneral Thomas say that such i-onver-sations encouraged and comforted him, because they showed the men in t lie ranks wen' taking things coolly." Chicago Inter Ocean.

Our regiment was newer than the others, and was marly strong in numbers as the three ermont regiments. We were camped on the slope of n hill, and the Volunteers ahow us nearer the summit. The camp was a beautiful one and camp life very pleasant. When a heavy snow came the Vermonters challenged us to a snow fight, and we accepted. We organized under field of fleers as did the ernionters, mid we fiulv liellevcd we could charge up the hill and drive them out of their camp. "We made the charge. We went up in good shape. Snowballs flew as thick as bullets at Gettysburg. Hut the Ver monters were old snow fighters. They not only stopped our charge, but drove us back down the hill. After that whenever we passed the Yerinotit n incuts the men would shout, "Hunt your holes. Jarscys.' At last our boys determined to get even. Some of the men killiNl n large dog. skinned and dressed the carcass, and hung It up In lain sight of the Vermont camp. We made a show of putting guards about knowing the Vermonters. suppos ing the carcass to be that of a sheep. would attempt to steal It. The plan was to hi them have It. and when they made their rHld, our guards were not alert and the dog carcass was carried off. 'We awaited developments in a slab of wild expentancy. and our spies re ported that the Vetu'ouleis suspecting no trick were on the point of dividiti, the carcass among several "hiesscK. He fore this whs done, however, the char acter of the meat was discovered and the carcass was thrown away. Afte that whenever a man of our regiment met a Vermonter he would whistle, and when the Jerseymeii passed the Ver monters on the march or In line nil the the former would whistle mid all the latter would shout, 'Hunt your holes, Jarseys.'
