"Wo miw the man's heart hleed a while, Faced Each Other as Enemies The civil war divided mnny families, sometimes through sentiment, espe dally along tho border status, fro fluently from tho fact that a northern man happened to ho In tho south when tho war opened and In business and the pressure brought to bear upon him drove him Into tho Confed erate army. No doubt n number went Into tho confederate nrmy from choice, though of northern birth. Tho following Is possibly an Instance of tho latter ltlnd: Among tho bravo soldiers of tho Forty-ninth Ohio In fantry was a young mnn named Fergu son. Ills patriotism was of that kind which allowed no aspersions to bo cast upon It. Ills father had loft homo sometime beforo tho wnr opened and was In the south, but Just where was not known.

Brigades of Union Soldiera Perilously Cloaoto Encounter crossing of Duck river, Tonn. Tho crossing was not mado without a light, a confederate regiment of caval ry hotly contesting the advance of tho Yanks, but they got across Just tho same. Several confederate pris oners woro taken. Young Ferguson got Into a conversation with them, and learned that the cavalry was com manded by a Col. Ferguson. Tho Idea struck him that possibly Col. Ferguson might bo his father, and after n long talk with the prisoners, In which porsonal description, habltH, etc., formed a conspicuous part of tho talk, the Union soldier became convinced that It was his father, al though ho never learned further of him.

This exploded beforo roach Ing Its destination, and another shell with a longer fuse, was rammed 1-omo and Jlred at tho plucky signal oillcer. "This officer stood on tho ton-cr In plain view and kept his signals going. Wo know, of course, that ho was re porting to his superiors, and tho sec ond shot was aimed with the grentest care.

Wo had boon out foraging on our own hook and we expected trouble. Osterhaus asked explosively what wo were do ing and I answered t!mt we were on our way to Join the column. Then tho general asked If I didn't know of IiIb strict orders against straggling, and I answered that we did, but that wo saw an opportunity to enpturo a gooso and couldn't afford to miss It.

"For noncombatants to do such a praiseworthy act In tho midst of a storm of bullctfl and shell was as bravo a deed as I ever saw, and my regiment cheered these men ngaln and again.

It has a broad circular flounco and Is trimmed with ruffles or lace or silk and chiffon. Pleated flounces are alwayH In fash Ion, but If mnde with taffeta do not wear as well as tho gathered ones. White muslin skirts with embrold ered or laco rufTlcs arc very fashion able. Tho fad of the day Is to wear petticoats of tho finest lawn and laco flocks Instead of a Bilk Bklrt. A serviceable skirt Is of dotted Swiss, with a tuillo or flounco trimmed with rows of lnca put on over a deep flounce of tafTeta, so that It can bo taken off and washed. Chicken Salad.

What is more fetching than a wo man of perfect figure and distin guished bearing clnd In a severely plain tallor-mailo gown? Tho very fact thnt these gowns nro moro raroly soon than formerly gives them a greater distinction of appearance. As they de pend entirely upon cut, mntorial and finish for offect, everything for such a gown must bo carefully chosen nnd of the host quality.

Here Is a simple experiment that .vlll show young people more about Heating the Wires, the relative heat-conducting power of metnlB than a whole pagetul of words would tell them. Get three pieces of wire nbout three-eighths of an Inch In thickness nnd about twelve Inches In length, one of Iron, one of copper and ono of brass. Lay them on top oi a pall so that one end of each Is In the flame of a lamp and tho other ends sepa rated. You will find that tho copper wire will be the first to get heated all through, the brass second and the Iron last, which shows their relative conducting power. Having allowed the wires to get per fectly cool, fasten two marbles on each wire with shoemaker's wax, ono six Inches from the flamo and tho other twelve Inches. You will Und that the marbles nearer the flame will drop off from tho copper wire In one minute, from the brass who In two minutes, nnd from tho Iron wire a lit tlo more than six minutes. The marbles twelve Inches from tho llame will drop from the copper wiro In a little moro than two minutes, from the brass wiro In a little more than four minutes and from the Iron wire l:i nbout twelvo minutes. Which shows that heat moves twico as fast In brass as It moves in Iron, and six times as last in copper as it moves in lion. Boy will Make His Mark. Hudy Uurdltt. Hue, Texas, Is a 1G-year-old trader. Two years ago ho picked cotton In spare hours, and with the money earned ho clothed himself and saved three dollars. With this three dollars he bought a pig. kept her for some time and sold her for eleven dollars. He worked on holidays and Saturdays and saved four dollars, which, added to tho eleven dollars, gavo him enough to buy a Jersey heifer. In a year ho sold her and a calf for forty dollars. He then bought a four months' old colt for flvo dollars and sold her later for fifteen dollars. He now has lltty-flve dollars loaned at 10 per cent interest. A Trick With Fire. To perform tho trick It Ib merely necessary to dip the handkerchief In water, wring It out but not too dry saturate It with alcohol and apply a lighted match to It. The spirit will burn freely but tho wet bnndkerchlef will not Ignite. A Very Hot River. At ono point In tho Yellowstone, a stream of clear, cold water flows through tho park, receiving In Its course tho scnlillng hot water of ono of tho numerous boiling springs of that region. Tho boiling water, as It reaches the cold stream, flows, for a consldorublo distance, along ono bank, beforo tho wntors finally mlnglo and becomo ono In temporature. Into this spring of boiling wnter, Insects, bugs, toads, grasshoppers and tho llko aro continually dropping, ana thus losing their lives, and all such Insects nro, as a matter of course, swept Into tho cold water stream. Now In tho cold water of this stream a number of hungry trout aro contln uajly skirmishing nlong tho edge of tho hot wnter, taking good enro not to venture too closo, for tho purposo of snapping up and dovourlng tho In sects brought down by tho hot water, , ' I I ' -3L , and which happen to float (Sr Into the cold water, or near enough tho border for the trout to pick them up so that It Is possible for a fisherman sitting on tho bnnk to catch a trout with hook and lino, draw him two feet from where ho took tho hook, and boll him good nnd done, all In tho same -stream and without ever lifting tho " fish from the water. Tho flshormnn would, of course, have to havo a scoop not to remove tho boiled trout from the water, for othorwlso tho head would pull off, leaving tho body In tho water. But, barring this, It Is within bounds of truth for ono to sny that tho Yellowstone Is tho only plneo on earth whore It Is possible to catch and cook a fish In the snmo Btroam. A Few Conundrums. Tho conundrum 1b ono of tho most favored forms of amusement for tho a soclnl circle. Tho nnswer to thU stylo of riddle generally contains a pun, as may bo seen in tho following examples: What Is that which you break If you even name It? Answer Silence. Why are records brittle things? An swer Because they cannot bo lowered without breaking. What sort of face does an auc tioneer llko best? Answer One that Is forbidding. What Is that which lives In tho winter, dies In the summer and grows II with Its roots upward? Answer An Icicle. Here's a Mathematical Problem. A man went Into a hat store to buy a hat, and tho hat was 2. Tho man paid In a 20 bill. Tho hatter had no change and went out and got the 20 bill chnn;ed and gave tho man ?13 and the hat. The customer went nway, and the other storekeeper came and told the hat man that the $20 was nad, so tho hatter nad to make good the counterfeit 20. How much did 4. tho hat man lose besides tho hat?

Hold tho pack at arm's length and tho three cards will jump high out of the pack. Let tho audience examine the cards r A L. as well as tho entlro pack to seo If thoy havo been prepared. y. Tho preparation consists of a nar row rubber band of great elasticity which tho performer slips over a part of tho pack, as shown In I. To hide tho rubber bnnd n few cards aro placed In front and back of them. When tho three cards arc placed on tho rubbor band (seo II.) tho perform er will have to press tho pack to gether to prevent tho cards from' Jumping out premnturoly. As soon as the pressure Is relieved tho cardB will Jump out. Whllo tho audlenco examines the throe cards, the performer slips tho rubbor band from tho cards, and Is able to hand the pack to tho audlenco for examination. Follows His Grandfather.
