Attacked the ITronc Civilian.
From a Vienna Letter in the London
Times: It is to be hoped that an in
cident which has just occurred at Ko
morn, In Hungary, may at length lead
to the adoption by the authorities of
some adequate measure for the protec
tion of civilians from dangerous mani
festations of that overweening arro
gance which is but too frequent a char
acteristic of young officers in this coun
try as well as in Germany. As the
latest victim Is a man of title and a son
of a Hungarian state official of high
rank. Baron Fiath, the Obergespan or
lord lieutenant of the Stuhlweissen
burg Comitat, it is not improbable that,
at least in this particular instance, the
result of the inquiry instituted by the
military authorities may be somewhat
more satisfactory than it has been in
previous cases, when only members of
the middle and lower classes were con
cerned. While on his way to Vienna
with his father Baron Nicholas Fiath.
a young man of 20, took advantage of
the few minutes' stay by the train at
Komorn to co iQto tue restaurant to
buy cigarettes. There an officer, one
of two who sat at a table with a num
ber of women, said to him: "Remove
your hat, or 1 will knock it off your
heai." Baron Fiath replied that he
was in a public place, in which it wa3
not customary to uncover. The officer
then carried out his threat, and the
baron retorted by administering a vig
orous cuff on the car, which made his
assailant stagger. Thereupon the sec
ond officer drew his sword and attacked
Baron Fiath. The latter, more for
tunate than other civilians in similar
circumstances, succeeded in defending
himself with a chair, and made his
way back to the railway carriage. He
afterward returned to the restaurant,
accompanied by his father, when card3
were exchanged as a preliminary to
two duels, which were fought
afterwards with sabers. It is a source
of legitimate satisfaction to know that
Baron Fiath escaped unhurt, while one
of his aggressors was rather severely
wounded. Perhaps the most extraor
dinary feature of these encounters Is
that, as in the present instance, an offi
cer should consider it consistent with
bis honor as a soldier to draw his
srord upon an unarmed civilian.
A Uero of Waterloo.
The Duke of Wellington was once
asked who, in his opinion, was the
bravest man at Waterloo. "I can't tell
you that," be said, "but I can tell you
of one than whom I am sure there was
no braver." The following is the story
put in the words of the writer: "There
was a private in the artillery. A
farmhouse with an orchard, surround
ed by a thick hedge, formed a most
important point in the British posi
tion, and was ordered to be held
against the enemy at any sacrifice.
The hottest of the battle raged around
the point, but the English behaved
well, and beat back the French again
and again. At last the powder and
ball were found to be running short;
at the same time the hedges surround
ing the orchard took fire. In the mean
time a messenger had been sent to the
rear for more powder and ball, and in
a short time two loaded wagons came
galloping down to the farmhouse, the
gallant defenders of which were keep
ing up a scanty fire through the
flames which surrounded the post. The
driver of the first wagon spurred his
horses toward the burning heap, but
the flames rose fiercely round and
caught the powder, which exploded,
sending rider, horses and wagon in
fragments into the open air. For one
instant the driver of the second wagon
paused appalled by his comrade's fate;
the next, observing that the flames,
beaten back for a moment by the ex
plosion, afforded him one desperate
chance, he sent his horses at the
smoldering breach, and, amid the
cheers of the garrison, landed his
cargo safely within. Behind him the
flames closed up and raged more
fiercely than ever. This private never
lived to receive the reward which his
act merited, but later in the engage
ment he was killed, dying with the
consciousness that he had saved the
da-."
Didn't Want the Bed.
While fighting Filipinos an old wound
which Col. Funston received in Cuba
began to trouble him, and Major Kobbe
sent a bed from a deserted house to
his tent In due time a plodding water
buffalo, a bed on a cart, and a private
of the Third artillery arrived at Col.
Funston's headquarters. The aids re
called that they had not mentioned the
affair to the colonel, and held their
breath. "Major Kobbe," said the
Third artilleryman, standing as stiff as
a rod, "presents his compliments, sir.
and sends this bed, which you ordered."
"A bed?" exclaimed the colonel. "What
do I want with it? Ordered, was it?
Adjutant, you have had something to
do with this." "Well, sir, the rainy
season is coming on, and, considering
that old wound of yours, I did not
know as you would mind being lifted
up off the ground a little." The adju
tant had almost persuaded the colonel
to have it in his tent, when suddenly he
balked. Before rolling up in his blan
ket on the ground he agreed that it
would make a good seat during the day,
but if the report got out that he had
taken to his bed it would encourage the
Filipinos. New York Tribune.
General Shersaaa Surprised.
From the Philadelphia Times: The
tue that was played the most dur
ing Tuesday's parade was undoubted
ly "Marching Through Georgia," and
a veteran who during the war was a
close friend of General Sherman was
reminded of a good story concerning
"Old Tecumseh" when he heard it
"Whenever I hear that played," he
said, "I think of the experience of Gen
eral Sherman when he went to Europe
after the war was over. Of course he
was paid all the honors due -his rank
ud soon was so nsed to the local af
fairs that he always had his uniform
at hand so as to put it on suddenly if
necessary. One day In Dublin, Ire
land, he took a nap and was awakened
by a band coming down the street
near the hotel. It was playing 'March
ing Through Georgia.' He hastily
rose. It's a crowd of Americans,
thought the general, who have heard I
was here, and, hastily putting on his
uniform, he decked himself up to suit
the occasion. The band playing
'Marching Through Georgia' came up
to the hotel. Playing 'Marching
Through Georgia' it marched past the
hotel, and, still playing 'Marching
Through Georgia,' It disappeared Into
the next street. Sherman," said the
veteran, "called the man who waited
upon him as a servant. 'Did you hear
that band playing as it went by?' said
Sherman, utterly at a loss to know why
the band had gone past the hotel. 'I
did,' said the servant, 'it is a fine old
air, General. I remember when I was
going to school It was the favorite air
of the band at the barracks.' Sherman
nearly collapsed. He found out by In
quiries that the Irishman was right,
that the air of 'Marching Through
Georgia' was an Irish tune, well
known far back In the days of 1798.
Sherman used to enjoy telling this
story on himself."
Ofaeera Called "Mr.
People who are not versed In mat
ters of army usage often ask why cer
tain army officers are addressed a3
"Mister," and not by their titles. To
the men who enter the service from
West Point the custom Is well under
stood, because they know that, no mat
ter how much authority they may
have, or how cay their uniform may
be, they are simply "misters" until
they wear two bars on their shoulder
straps. A recent occurrence In the
army building illustrated the matter.
A man who had been a field officer In
the volunteer service in the war with
Spain had been appointed to a lieuten
ancy In the new volunteer army, and
called at one of the offices at the head
quarters on a matter of business. There
the officer in charge presented a..m to
the United States army officer. "Ma
jor Blank, allow me to present Mr.
Smith Mr. Smith, Major Blank." The
volunteer officer hinted in a modest
way, when the major had withdrawn,
that it might have been well to let the
fact be known that be also was an
army officer. "Oh, that's nil right,"
said the officer who had acted as host,
"everybody Is mister until he is cap
tain." Even in service the first and
second lieutenants are addressed "mis
ter" by officers of higher rank. The
custom is so general that it is not un
usual for lieutenants in the regular
service to have their visiting cards en
graved with the "Mr." prefixed, thus:
MR. JOHN BROWN SMITH,
United States Army.
The officer in the regular service also
shows a preference for civilian's dress,
which the volunteer officer does not al
ways share. When not on duty, at
home on leave or on his way to post,
the regular officer usually wears no
part of his uniform, and prefers to ap
pear as an ordinary citizen. New York
Tribune.
Araay and Navy.
The wearing of mustaches by Infan
trymen in the British army did not
become general until about 1855, or
after the Russian war, when the war
riors returning from that campaign
made it fashionable. As far back as
1798 some cavalrymen are said to have
tried the effect of the mustache on the
ladies. Whether it was because the
ladies did not like the mustache, or for
some other reason, the custom was
slow in growing, and it was not until
1815 that it gained general favor with
cavalry regiments.
An English naval writer says that
the German naval authorities have de
cided to reconstruct at Kiel the coast
defense ship Hagen, which was
launched as recently as 1893. She is
to be cut a little forward of the mid
ship section and a new length of twenty-three
feet added. This is interest
ing, as it is believed it is the first time
that an armored ship has been so dealt
with. Now the ship is only 240 feet
long and 40 feet 3 Inch beam, with a
displacement of 3,500 tons. Her speed
was to be sixteen knots.
Enlistments for the line of the army
during the month of July, 1899, aggre
gated 2,991, divided as follows: Enlist
ments for general recruiting service,
2,945; enlistments for special recruit
ing service, 46; total, 2,991. Enlist
ments in cities, 2,419; enlistments at
military posts and in the field, 572; to
tal, 2.991. There were 10,728 applicants
for enlistment at city stations rejected,
the greatest number in a single city
being 1,916, in Chicago. The greatest
number of enlistments was 198, in New
York city, Philadelphia being second
with 169. The largest number cf en
listments at military posts was 22, at
Fort Niagara, N. Y., and the largest
number in the field was 15, in the Fifth
cavalry.
A French naval return shows that
there are to be completed for commis

says a writer in Lippincott's. As I
went into the breakfast room of the
hotel a loud-voiced American was vo
ciferating wildly, while a crowd gath
ered around him. As I approached he
shook both fists at the crowd and
yelled "Boiled eggs!" If he had said
"Eggs" merely somebody might have
understood. The "boiled eggs," spoken
as one word, floored everybody, and I
sat down at a distance to take in the
scene. He cursed them up hill and
down, and besought them to tell him
where they had gone to school. "Kool,
kool, yes!" cried the head waiter; "I
know kool," and immediately brought
a plate of cracked ice. The American
exploded, but I stepped in and straight

heathenish people and his utter fail

Saeataaeom Combastlo la Aay Mows
The experience of Mr. John W. Mc
Arthur of Delaware county, N. Y.. as
told by himself, is convincing proof In
my mind t at if all conditions are
favorable to its development, such
combustion may easily happen, say3
E. J. Brownell in Country Gentleman.
H said the first year after building
this barn, in the rush of his large hay
ing, the hay was drawn in very green,
he believing, with many others, that
if all the water were dried off the hay
and it was nicely wilted, no damage
could result from the natural juices
remaining in It even though stored
In this green condition.
As will perhaps be remembered by
most of your readers, this mow is a
bay nearly round and 60 feet in diame
ter, resting on the ground. It was
rapidly filled with hay that was very
green, crowding it in with a large force
of help as fast as it was possible to
get it cut and partially cured. The
result was that a tremeadous heating
or the mow caused by storing so large
a bulk of bay in that condition oc
curred, so great that after the heat
ing process was fairly started his wife
told him she knew that hay mow was
all afire and the barn would certainly
burn down; but he had always thought
It was Impossible for hay to burn from
spontaneous combustion in the mow.
However, when he fed out that hay in
winter, the condition in which it was
found at the center of the mow con
vinced him that this was not only pos
sible but that without doubt it had
frequently occurred where all the con
ditions were favorable to its develop
ment "For," said he, "there was a space-in
the center of that mow about as large
around as an ordinary hogshead, run
ning from the bottom to near the top
of the mow, in which the hay was lit
erally charred, having the appearance
of having been burned and then smoth
ered for want of oxygen to keep it
burning; and I have no doubt that
bad it been possible for a current of
air to reach the center of that mow and
furnish the necessary oxygen, combus
tion would have at once occurred and
the whole mass have gone with a rush
of flame. But resting as it did on the
ground in the center of this large barn,
there was no chance for the air to get
under it. and the fire went out for want
of feeding."
Still he said it convinced him that
spontaneous combustion is possible,
and he believed that had that same hay
been stored in a second story, as is
often done where stables are built un
der the bays, nothing would have
saved it from burning, as there would
in that case have been a sufficient cur
rent of air passing through the bay to
produce the necessary draft It at
least had taught him a lesson of cau
tion as to how he stored such large
quantities of hay, even in that mow,
in a condition of dampness such that
beating was possible. It would, it
seems to me, be well, in view of such
evidence as this, and the fact that so
many barns do burn near the end of
the haying season without the origin
of the fire being known, for farmers to
use more caution in this direction.
Bavins; Seed Wbeat.
In raising wheat we always put a
great deal of stress on the prepara
tion of the seed, says a contributor to
the Epitomist In the first place, we
choose the seed from the best and
strongest wheat in the field, and put it
in the bottom of the stack, so that it
any foul stuff, or different kind of
wheat has been carried from our neigh
bors, by the time we get to threshing
the seed, it will have been run out, and
our seed will be pretty sure to be all
from our own field. When cutting our
wheat, we keep a lookout for the best
acre that stands up well, with good
straw, and that we think will yield the
best This acre Is always saved for our
seed. The wheat from it is put in a
separate bin, and it is thoroughly
cleaned over the course screen, and
the fanning mill turned very hard, so
that fully one fourth Is blown over, or
run into a chess box. This gives us
only the largest grain to sow; such as
will produce large healthy stock, that
will be able to stand the hardships that
it is subject to during some of our se
vere winters.
Serena as s Has Cholera Remedy,
Newspaper bulletin No. 79, Indiana
.Experiment Station: Upon the an
nouncement of the United States de
partment of agriculture that It had
achieved success in the treatment and
prevention of hog cholera by the new
serum, it was predicted by the vet
erinarian of the Indiana station that
commercial firms would soon produce
a "serum" and claim it to have all the
merits of that produced by the govern
ment Neither experimental work or
experience is necessary for cholera
cure firms to claim success. Recently
we have been informed that such firms
are operating In Indiana, and as a
result cholera is following in their
path and the disease being introduced
into herds when it had not previously
been in the neighborhood. The In
diana station desires to learn of the
success or failure of the bog cholera
serum treatment in every locality In
which it has been tried, and also of
all outbreaks of disease which may
have followed serum treatment, and
we solicit correspondence upon the
subject
Reports have also been received that
agents of cholera medicines in White,
Warren, Pulaski and Fulton counties
claim authority to sell goods recom-.
mended by the station, and agents in
Marshall and Kosciusko counties claim
to be agents of the state board of
agriculture. All agents making such
claims in any part of the state are
frauds and should be prosecuted. A.

Cow Peas. Wherever I go I talk
"cow peas" for thin, poor land, says a
contributor to Rural New Yorker.
There arc usually wise men who shrug
their shoulders and say: "Oh, the cow
pea may be all right for the South, but
with us the Canada field pea is much
better!" Usually these men never saw
a coV pea In their lives. If they did
grow a crop they would want to meas
ure its value by the amount of cow
food it Would make. There they would
make a mistake, for this plant should
be used "for the land's sake." We
used Evergreen sweet corn seed of our
own saving this year, and find it more
satisfactory uian wnat we used to buy.

The leading lady in a theater in Old

her: "I have nothing left to offer
you not even the hope of better days

without his landlady. That very real
istic and emotional person was in the
circle, and her lodger's pathos was too
much for her. "Never head, lad!" she
sang out at the top of a very shrill
voice. "Thee hath gotten a real good

Miss Emily F. Haas, of 148
St., Greenpoint, Brooklyn, N.
"Dear Mrs. Pinkham I wish to
ptate that I used your Vegetable Com
pound with the greatest success. I
was very sick for nearly a year with
hysteria, was down-hearted and
pervous; also suffered with painful
menstruation and pain in back and
jimbs. I often wished for death,
thinking nothing would cure me. I
pad doctors, but their medicines did
pie no good. At last, by the advice
of a friend, I began to take Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
and I am happy to say it has entire
ly cured me.
Jennie Sherman, of Fremont,
Mich., Box 748, writes:
'Pear Mrs. Pinkham: I
that I must write you and
you what your medicine
feel
tell
has
done for me. I had neuralgia
of the stomach for two years,
so bad that I could not do any
work. I had two or three doc?
tors, but did not seem to get any bet
ter. I began taking Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound and Liver
Pills and improved from the first, had
better appetite, and after taking three bottles of Compound
and one box of Liver Pills, can say that I am cured. Your
Vegetable Compound is a wonderful medicine."

President Charles W. Eliot, of Har
vard university, opens the October
Atlantic with a characteristically or
iginal and forcible paper on Recent
Changes in Secondary Education.
President Eliot rehearses the recent
notable advance (in which he has had
so honorable a share) which have
been made in the studies required or
allowed for admission to colleges anl
technical schools, and from which he
foresees 'not only greater future
achievements, but "solid ground for
hopefulness about the republic, both
as a form of government and as a
Istato of society."
There have been various stories
written about the stealing of the Bal
timore and Ohio Rail Road engines
at Martinsburg. W. Va., during the
rebellion and their transfer across the
country for service on southern rail
roads by Col. Thomas Sharp, who is
still living in Ohio. Recently, an of
ficial of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
Road made some inquiries of old em
ployes who were at Martinsburg at
the time the incident happened and
they say that on June 19, 1S61, 200
men of Gen'l Stonewall Jackson's
command were detailed to destroy the
Baltimore and Ohio's equipment at
Martinsburg. They piled wood and
coal over 41 engines and nearly 400
cars and then set fire to them. Only
ten or twelve of the engines, however,
were seriously damaged, and these not
by the fire, but because the water was
first let out of the boilers. Col. Sharp
arrived in Martinsburg on August 18.
1861. and remained there until the fol
lowing March, engaged in removing
engines, machinery, etc. He took
eight engines across the country over
the turnpike, either to Staunton, Win
chester or Strasburg, (and there are
some historians who disagree on this
point) 32 horses being required to haul
each engine. He also removed all the
duplicate parts of engines and cars
and all the rough iron at the station,
and took away all machinery and
tools which were afterward used in the
Southern arsenals. The country around
Martinsburg is extremely hilly and the
work of getting the engines over the
country roads required considerable
engineering ability. It has been cur
rently reported in late years that one
of the locomotives was the Winans
camel-back No. 99 which at that time
was numbered 77, but Col. Sharp did
not care for this class of engines and
took only ten wheel and passenger en
gines. There was only one eight wheel
locomotive taken and that was No. 34.
Some years after the war Col. Sharp
was employed on the Baltimore and
Ohio Rail Road as Master of Trans
portation. FITS Permanently Curwl. Ifofit! or nTonsnesa after

Santiago Campaign." in speaking of
the great catarrh remedy. Pe-ru-na.
says: "I join with Senators Sullivan.
Roach and McEnery in their good
opinion of Pe-ru-na. It is recom
mended to me by those who have used
it as an excellent tonic and particu
larly effective as a cure for catarrh."
United States Senator McEnery.
Hon. S. D. McEnery. United State3
Senator from Louisiana, says the fol
lowing in regard to Pe-ru-na:
"Pe-ru-na is an excellent tonic. I

Brockton'a prosperity is so closely al
lied to the prosperity of the shoe indus
try that it will, no doubt, prove a mutter
ot interest to a large nurnuer of. people to
learn the actual siveraKC earning capacity
of each individual emp!otd in the muk
inff of the world-famed Urockton shoe.
For illustration: At the factory of the
I. Douglas Shoe company the pay
roil for the week etidini; Sept. 20. exclud
ing superintendent, foremen, salesmen,
and all clerical help, shows the average
earnings of the employes, large and
bmall. to be $15.31 per week. This was not
an extraordinary week. It was the cus
tomary pay roll.
The amount earned per week, however,
does not always tell the story of pros
perity. The number of weeks ernploed
each year is the determining factor in the
wage earners' prosperity. The Douglas
factory has been closed but one week
this year, and that for the usual summer
stock taking, and it will be closed but
three days the latter part of December.
This would make but nine dajs out of
the year that the factory is closed, which
is surely as steady work js the most In
dustrious shoemaker could desire.
It Is believed that the average pay and
the number of das worked is larger at
the factory of the V. 1 Douglas Shoe
companv than at any manufacturing In
stitution in Massachusetts.
Owing to Increased business, another
addition is to be made to the Douglas
factory. It will be 100 feet long. 40 feet
wide, and fe stories high. It will be
ready for occupancy early in December.
This" addition increases the capacity 3
per cent. The V. I- Douglas Shoe com
panv has the largest factory in the
v.-orld producing an advertised line $3.50
and $3.w) shoes.
Mr. Douglas says that the prospect for
successful business for Urockton manu
facturers was neer so good as now. and
that collections are better than for years.
