When Mr. Spurgeon first began his
ministry an anonymous critic used to
write to him constantly about his
mistakes In grammar and pronunc
iation. Mr. Spurgeon at first resented
these criticisms, but he soon learned
to proat by then. "After awhile." he
said in telling the story, "I looked for
his weekly memoranda with much in
terest. If I repeated a sentence which
I had used two or three Sundays be
fore he would write: 'See the same
sentence In such and such a sermon.' "
Mr. Spurgeon, like everybody else, had
his pet quotation, and he used this
line, "Nothing in my hand to bring,"
rather frequently. So his commen
tator wrote him : "We are sufficient
ly informed cf the vacuity of your
hand."

The Work Will Coatlaae.
The divisions of tbe Baltimore ft
Ohio Railroad west of the Ohio river
are to receive the same sort of im
provements that have been made on
the lines east of the Ohio. Not only
are the grades to be reduced wherever
it is practicable, but very much heav
ier motive power is to be introduced.
In order to carry the additional weight
the bridges on all the divisions are
being replaced with heavier structure;
and the track relaid with heavier steel
rail. It has been demonstrated by ac
tual experiment that these changes
will result in an Increase in train load
ing in some places of more than 60
per cent, the average being about 42
per cent. It is the hops of the receiv
ers that within the next two years the

Baltimore, with the exception of that
portion of it which passes over the
mountains where helping engines will
have to be used. A great many of the

the work have been made, and those

It is well known that the colored
troops in the United States army have
proved very efficient in the service of
tbe plains and frontier, but perhaps it
Is not so well known that the Indians
are more afraid of tbe black soldiers
than of the white soldiers. That this
Is the fact is vouched for by an army
officer who bas been "interviewed" on
the subject by the Washington Star.
"The cavalry troop to which I be
longed," this gentleman said, "sol
diered alongside a couple of troops of
:he Ninth cavalry, a colored regiment,
during the last Sioux troubles. We
were performing chain-guard that is
hemming-in duty and our task was to
prevent the Ogallalas from straying
from the reservation. If any of them
attempted to pass, we bad authority
to prod them with our bayonets.
"The result was the white troops
often had to perform the risky job of
forcing back armed six-foot savages
with the bayonet, and there were some
very dangerous moments; but tbe
black troops alongside bad no such
trouble. While the Indians were con
tinually crowding upon the white sol
diers, they let the blacks entirely
alone.
"Moreover, the black troops obtain
ed from the Indians ten times as much
general obedience about the camps as
:ho white ones did. The Indians would
fairly jump to obey tbe uniformed
olacks. One day a black sergeant saw
a minor chief, who was sunning him
self at the door of his tepee, send bis
squaw with a couple of pails down to
tbe creek to get water. Tbe black ser
geant walked up to the lazy savage and
prodded him.
"'Look oheah! he exclaimed, 'jes'
shake yo' no-'count bones an go tote
date watah yo'se'f! Yo heah me?'
"The Indian did not understand the
words, but he comprehended perfectly
the gesture, especially when the black
man took the pails from the woman's
hands and put them into those of her
lord and master. He went after the
water, and at an astonishingly rapid
pace."
During the Pine Ridge troubles,
when the Indians were on one occa
sion in line of battle, the duty of
charging them was confided to the two
black troops. The negroes began to
Fell as soon as they started, and their
yell went on increasing with every
Jump of their horses, until it seemed to
the listening white soldiers as if the
air were being rent with the screams
of ten thousand demons.
As soon as tbe Indians caught sight,
through the cloud of alkali dust, of the
black faces and open mouths of the
charging blacks, and got the full ef
fect of this mounting roar, they broke
and fled, and were soon surrounded
and disarmed. The chiefs afterward
confessed that the braves were scared
by the awful howling of the black
troopers.
These black soldiers can fight as well
as they can howl. Their record on the
plains has been one of absolute in
trepidity. Two llrare Men.
Smith was a gunner in the service
of the East India company, was known
as "the sweep," a derisive name given
to mark some eccentricity, for the man
was a character. He had charge of the
boats belonging to the military station,
and one day wrote the brigade major,
asking, "When shall I have the bote
ready?" The major replied, "Have ths
boat ready at such an hour."
When the major went down to the
river with a party of ladles, he asked
Smith how he spelled "boat." Un
abashed by the presence of the Iadie3,
Smith, without a symptom of nervous
ness, answered the officer, "Some peo
ple spells it b-o-a-t, but I spells it
b-o-t-e."
But Smith, notwithstanding his
mocking nickname, was not a man to
be laughed at. One day the roof of the
building which held the ammunition
caught fire. There was a panic; even
the best disciplined soldiers lost their
heads. But "the sweep" mounted the
roof, pulled off the thatch, poured
buckets of water over the flames, and
saved the magazine. It was as plucky
a thing as it was possible for a man to
do; for there was powder enough In
the building to wreck the station.
There Is no telling what "a singed
cat" will do. The present writer knew
a Gloucester boy, so weak in body and
o effeminate in disposition that his
brothers, who were seamen, used to
speak of him as our "poor little Da
vie." At the, beginning of the civil
war Davie enlisted in the navy, and
being a high school graduate, wa3
made a petty officer.
One day a fire broke out on the ves
sel near the magazine. Davie, seeing
that the men and officers hesitated to
take the pipe of the hose down into
the smoky between-decks. snatched It.
jumped down and held it against the
fire until the water had quenched It
Then he fell down, senseless, overcome
by the heat and smoke.
Davie was again promoted, and had
to listen to the commander's praise ut
tered from the quarter-deck, the sailors
and officers standing at attention. Da--ie
almost fainted again.
He Became a Hero.
Some ex-ccnfedcrate3" were swap
ping warslories recently, when one of
them told the following. which conveys
a wholesome lesson against hasty judg
ment Just before the battle of Sfurfr
boro a detachment of Morgans com
mJ
Mand was guarding a mountain pass
few miles from Bradyville, Tenn.
A portion of tbe valley leading tb the
pass was densely wooded and swampy.
Tbe marshy ground abounded in bull
frogs of huge proportions, and the trees
afforded a roosting place for numerous
owls. Among the soldiers was a strlp
pling by the name of Spreelcr. It was
a wild and windy night when Spreeler
was called upon to do guard duty.
About one o'clock when the sky was
of a leaden hue and the wind sighed
Qtfully through the trees an owl on a
near-by limb hooted:
"Who who are you?"
"John Spreeler." exclaimmed the
sentinel, trembling in hla boots.
Just at that moment a bullfrog, in
deep bass tones, seemed to say:
"Sur sur surround him!"
"I'll be hanged if you do," .exclaimed
Spreeler as he fired his musket and
broke for the camp, which had been
thrown Into the wildest confusion by
the alarm, which was supposed to mean
that the enemy was attacking the out
posts. When the true state of affairs was
understood the other men made life
a burden fcr John until the Battle of
Murfreesboro, when the Lincoln county
stripling was promoted for conspicuous
bravery. He was afterwards assigned
to Bragg's army, and died like a hero
at the "battle above the clouds" while
in the forefront of the charge, trying
to spike an enemy's cannon.
The Soldier at Homr.
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, in his
talk to the Rough Riders, gave them
some timely advice, which is worth the
attention of every soldier who 13 re
turning' to take upon himself the du
ties of peace. Here is a motto fcr all
military heroes:
"But, boys, don't get gay and pose
as heroes or lie on your laurels, because
they wither. Be careful of your con
duct in tbe future, as you bave In the
past. The world will be kind for ten
days, and then, in those cold words
that the world is capable of speaking
at times, it will declare you're spoiled
by going to war."
The beneficiary of this advice, if it
is taken, says the New York Tribune,
will be the soldier himself far more
than anybody else, and when the sol
dier is warned to be modest it is not
because of any lack of appreciation of
his bravery or of the splendid work
he did, but from a realization of the
tendency of human nature to reactions
of sentiment due to slight causes. The
American people today are profoundly
grateful to the troops who responded
to their country's call, deeply grieved
over the fatalities which attended the
prosecution of the war and much dis
turbed over the mishaps which have
caused needless suffering. It is desir
able that they should retain these feel
ings, and both for their "own sake and
the sake of the soldiers never think
lightly of the soldier or teach future
generations that military service can
be forgotten.
The Volunteers.
In the management of the men,
writes a correspondent with the army
in the Philippines, lies the whole weak
ness of a volunteer army. It is diffi
cult to impress the volunteers with
the idea that they are bent on serious
business; most of them act as if they
were on a pleasure trip. It is per
haps not policy to dwell on the distinc
tion between our small trained army
and our multitudinous volunteer force
but some facts it is the duty of ev
ery observer to bring to public notice.
It Is the opinion of the majority of
good Americans that, when the occa
sion requires, we can raise an army of
volunteers and "lick the world." This
crude idea of war has been fostered
by the late rebellion, where both sides
were volunteer forces. Fatal as such a
crude doctrine .is. the attitude of the
public is likely to find support in the
easy victory we had over the Spaniard,
In spite of the fact that that victory
was made possible by our highly train
ed navy. The weakness of our volun
teer force should, therefore, be well
noted, that we may not be led in the
arrogance of our easy victory to rush
headlong Into a new war.
Itrttnlt or the War.
One consequence of the war Is to be
seen in the contract given by Russia
to the Cramps for two battleships and
a protected cruiser of-the Olympia
type. Speaking of these Russian ships,
Mr. Cramp said: "Wc shall begin to
lay at once their keels. The battle
ships will be of 12,700 tons displace
ment and must maintain a speed of
eighteen knots for twelve consecutive
hours, with all ccal, ammunition and
ctores on board, and these stores, coal
and ammunition are i0 per cent greater
than those carried on any ship outside
of Russia. This speed, under these ex
traordinary conditions, must be n.ado
with ordinary, natural draft."
PERSONALITIES.
With the death of the earl of Mans
field, at the age of 92. the number of
survivors of the unreformed parlia
ment is reduced to two. the duke of
Northumberland and the earl of Mex
borough, unless, indeed, there may be
still okp surviving commoner who sat
in it. This is, however, improbable,
as those who entered the old parlia
ment at a very early age were gener
ally sons of peers as is also the case,
by the way, with the modern parlia
ment. It seems almost incredible that
the earl of Mansfield attended the cor
onation in 1S2G of Czar Nicholas I.,
great-grandfather of the present czar.
But, on reflection, it does not appear so
remarkable. That czar was born on
ly a year before his brother-in-law.
Kaiser William I., and only ten years
before Lord Mansfield.
Capt. Alfred S. Barker, who succeeds
Gapt. Clark, was the Oregon's first
commander when she took her rough
initial sea trips. He is a son of Mas
sachusetts and had not yet completed
his four years' course In the naval
academy at Annapolis when he was
ordered out" to the steam frigate Mis
sissippi. He took part in the capture
of New Orleans and in the fight at
Port Hudson, where the Mississippi
was lost.
Dr. Joseph Loachim, tbe famous vio
linist, has just passed his 67th birthday.
He bas been a remarkable musician
almost from infancy. He studied un
der Bohm in Vienna, and when only
about 12 years old he entered the great
Leipzig conservatorium.whose founder,
Mendelssohn, observed his ability.
Fernande, the daughter of Ferdinand
de Lesseps. who accompanied her father-
on bis visit to this country, hav
ing secured a divorce about a year ago
from Comte de Gontaut Biron, is now
about to marry the Comte de Mira
mont. Midshipman Morres of the Vizcaya
mourns the loss of a collection of near
ly 2.5C0 postage stamps, including
many rare European varieties, which
were" destroyed in the Spanish ship;

Dirt ta the Oalrr.
The whole science of butter making
seems to revolve around tbe question
of cleanliness. The problem of dirt
is the one that is hardest to solve.
The man that thinks that he Is dairy
ing in a cleanly manner Is almost al
ways mistaken, for cleanliness re
quires far greater effort than most
of us suspect The microscopist comes
along and looks into our "clean"
utensils and finds microbes there that
will certainly corrupt the product. He
looks Into the stables and finds other
microbes there, but in greater num
bers. He goes into the milk-house and
he finds the dirt there, and, mixed
with it, swarms of microbes. This is
so, though to the eye all is clean.
We do not take into proper account
the smallness of the particles of dirt
nor the smallness of the minute plants
we call bacteria. Wo wash the pails
till they are clean to all appearance,
but time and events show that they
are not clean. We wash out the milk
cans and think we have removed all
remains of the milk and dirt and mi
crobes. But put in the top to tbe can
and let tbe can set for a day. Then
open it, and the nostrils will be sa
luted with the foulest and rankest of
smells. The very air inside the can
seems to have become a breeding
medium for these bacteria. Scientific
dairying requires the scalding out of
these cans by steam, and even steam
will not do the work unless the time
element be taken Into consideration.
Wc have an illustration of how hard
It is to keep dirt out of the dairy by
the way in which the bottling system
bas come into disrepute in some sec
tions of the country. It was believed
that bottling the milk was a great
improvement over the old way of dip
ping milk for each customer out of a
can. This was on tbe presumption
that the bottles would always be prop
erly and thoroughly washed, as any
defect of this kind would be made
known in the unclean appearance of
the bottles. The trouble proved to be
that the bottles were not sufficiently
washed to kill any disease germs that
might have obtained a lodgment in
them. Thus at West Point and in
Philadelphia it was believed that
scarlet fever was spread by this
means. The bottles, after being emp
tied of their contents, stood open in
the houses where this disease was
present. As the bottles were not
washed by the people that used tbe
milk, the little milk left in the bottles
became a good breeding medium for
the germs of the disease. When the
bottles were washed at tbe bottling
establishment the baptism of beat was
not sufficient to kill the bacteria, and
when the new milk was put into them
the disease germs found a new and
enlarged medium for their multipli
cation. The same is' true of the germs
that cause milk to sour and butter to
spoil. Heat and acids are necessary to
give the cleanliness required in the
dairy.
Rattan Fowl "
In the human family we find oc
casionally fine physical specimens of
the species that are of no practical
use in the world, and the same rule
will apply in some degree to all ani
mal life; and I bave concluded that it
depends largely on the breeder wheth
er a domestic animal or fowl is sim
ply a thing of beauty or built for busi
ness, says a writer in Indiana Far
mer. If a fancier's aim is wholly with
a view to have a fowl of handsome
feather and comely appearance, or in
other words, "a winner at the show,"
it is not surprising that such a bird
may not be a success as a layer of
eggs. My experience teaches that if
a person wants money making busi
ness hens, he must keep that point in
view, culling closely all drones, loaf
ers, and doubtful characters, and
breed only those that are most prolific
in money making qualities, without so
much regard for fine feathers. I want
eggs and plump meaty hens, for in
them there is money, and while these
requirements are filled, it matters not
whether they are pure blood, or of any
fancy strain. Disappointment awaits
the poultryman who buys eggs for
hatching on the recommendation of
others. My hens may do well for me
under the diet and peculiar condi
tions they are accustomed to, but
transfer them to another climate, dif
ferent feed, surroundings changed, and
they perhaps will prove very unsat
isfactory, and it is for this reason that
I in some degree account for tbe oft
icpeated accusation of misrepresenta
tion on the part of sellers. Therefore,
don't depend too much upon others;
read good sound poultry literature,
and be guided by your own good sense
aud experience. Raising poultry is a
legitimate business, but needs, to be
studied, built up, and taken care of
as any live merchant or manufacturer
takes caie cf his affairs, and keeps up
with the times. It Is by no means
simply chance or luck, but hard work,
that brings success, and he who thinks
otherwise had better look elsewhere
for a "soft snap."
Theie Is money in the business, we
have ample proof. There are some
failures the same as in every other
line of business; but this is no reason
why the hen should retire from busi
ness. Bone ami Kgc.
In selling eggs at market price the
question of profit hinges on the co.--t
f the production of eggs, writes H.
B. Geer in Agricultural Epitomist. The
keepers of pure bred poultry that Is.
the fancier, who raises only fancy
stock and who gets from one to five
dollars a sitting for his eggs, and the
same figures for bis fowls has no
need to count the cost so closely in
the pioduction of bis stock, as the
prices obtained are sufficient to cover
even extravagant outlay, and to leave
a good margin of profit. Witii the
marketer, however, it is quite differ
ent. He must bring his bill of ex
penses low in order to realize any prof
it in eggs. In this connection we
would suggest the free use of one of
the modern inventions for the poultry
yard the bone cutter; not the dry
bone crusher, but the green bone cut
ter, and tbe liberal use of green cut
bone in feeding the laying stock. With
the writer, green bones, fresb from the
butcher, aio obtainable at fifty cents
per one hundred pounds, aud their
value as food, in the production of
eggs, is worth from three to five cents
a pound. In fact, in fresh cut hone we
find tbe best and cheapest egg food
that we can buy. There is certainly
a good margin of profit in selling eggs
at market prices when the hens are
fed plenty of fresh cut clean bone. Of
course it must not be fed exclusively,
but It may, we believe, constitute one
third of the feed given the hens with
out any bad effects.
