Good Nature Often Allied To Heroism PUBLIC school in one of the large eastern cities recently awarded one - M*Mt of its boy-pupils a medal for A rather unusual trait—the constant manifestation of good nature. He .had not delved deeply into the pro fundities 9f academic learning; he had not mastered obstacles in the pathway of knowledge which the essayist delights to glibly charac terize as "almost insuperable;” he had not fired his fellow scholars with his eloquence nor established new records on the cinder path or football gridiron. He had simply met the mutations just as frequent in school life as real life, and relatively as important, with a placid front. When he failed in a class recitation, when he was disciplined righteously or otherwise, when he came to school on various mornings and found the stove smoky and the temperature inhos pitable, when he was suffering from headache, toothache—in the face of all and singular of the paltry worries which, collectively, make for every day bxasperation, he was serene, unmoved to wrath, with an infectious smile and a word of inspiration for those who take the little things of life more tragically. The authorities were justified, too, in distinguishing him from his comrades for the possession of this specific characteristic, for good nature is one of the most valuable qualities with which an individual may be dowered in the scramble for preferment. Mind you, however, there are two varieties of good nature as there are two species of every qual ity peculiar to the human kind. Amiability of tem perament may be inherent or acquired. In the former instance the individual deserves no more credit than he would for the possession of brown instead of blue eyes. It came to him by no effort or volition of his own, and though it oils his way through life and increases the happiness of other people, he should ascribe no glory whatever to him self or permit himself to look with censorious eyes on the man who, through the operation of laws equally beyond his personal control, has been weighted down with a moodiness or biliousness of disposition. Another well-defined and rather p.revalent type of the man generally reputed to be good-natured, is the lymphatic customer. With a heart in his breast which never varies in its slow, methodical pumping no matter how ex citing events in the surrounding world, with nerves of nickel-steel and sensibilities about as keen as those of a well-regulated steam engine, he moves on impassively through life, passing for a man of good nature As a matter of fact he is no more entitled to credit for ’his even poise than is. that same steam-engine for the rhythmic, unemotional performance of its functions. And neither is he good natured, unless the term be applied as we might apply it to a lump of putty—a substance complacent enough in its way, albeit seldom ap pealing to the man whose veins bulge with a fluid that has nothing in common with clabber. .But it is when you arrive at the individual ham pered by super-personal physical or psychical pe culiarities, which induce a chronic saturnity of mental vision tinging his viewpoint with melan choly and veneering his labors and his pleasures with a yellowish, blue shade, that you should begin to get your microscope in action for the detection of commendable will-power and self-control. For if such a person exhibits a buoyancy of conduct, an enthusiasm, a philosophic interpretation of the disappointments of existence, you may be sure that you have discovered a hero. He is literally wrenching himself loose from impulses and pro pensities which gird him on every side and which seek to dominate his every action. Most, likely he has learned by sordid experience, that the view point of dispondency does not pay, and that it puts i him out of sympathy with the rest of the universe. But you may rest assured that it has been a des perate struggle for him to emerge from his slavery to himself—a slavery the most abject and one which carries fetters more binding and galling than 1 those of the most tyrannical external master. So, when you are shedding your likes and dis- j likes so blithely in every direction, selecting per- j sons for the former who ever greet you with a smile and a jovial word, don't forget the man whose smile may not be quite so spontaneous and inspiring as would meet your whim, but who may be making an uphill fight against his own mor bidity of temperament. And don't be so ready to eulogize "old John, that sunny tempered fellow” at the expense of "James, who always looks as though he’s attending his own funeral.” Perhaps John’s optimism came to him at birth as a legacy, and, though he is to be congratulated as we would congratulate any friend similarly situated, James is infinitely more commendable if he is waging a hard war against a perversity of disposition for which he is to be no more condemned than is John for the happy reverse. Leaves from an Old Scrap Book By A GEORGIA COLONEL. roxas 1M I H.fi battle of “Boco Chico,” Tt'gas, is said to have been last engagement in the between the states, found the following in the old scrapbook about that fight: “New Orleans dispatches contain details of a fight at Boco Chico, Texas, on the I2tl\ ultimo, which, though but a trifling af fair in itself, will proba- ably hereafter be remem bered, now that the rebellion is ended by the surrender of Kirby Smith, as the last engagement in the desperate four years’ struggle. The battle was between a few hundred men on each side, Colonel Bar rett commanding the unionists and Gen eral Slaughter the rebels. The national loss was seventy-two in killed, wounded and captured. Colonel Barrett being com pelled ip retreat, owing to General Slaugh ter being reinforced. It is reported that the rebels put to death all the union pris oners. “On Friday, the 12th instant, one com pany of the First Texas (union), with about 250 soldiers from the Sixty-second United States colored infantry, under the command of Colonel Barrett, were march ed up e dic Bio Grande from Brazos San tiago. \j “At tfe Pass of Boco Chico, General Slaughter met the advancing force with about 500 men.

Had hot our artillery hbrses broken down, we would, doubtless, have repression sorely taxed by exasperating incidents. When, for instance, the door bell rings and the servant announces the presence of some visitor un congenial and unwanted, that woman who does not give vent to some expressive bit of slang or £ner- .gctic protest is rapidly pluming herself for aefeles- tial flight. Or when, after waiting ternfear the thunderous and reassuring snore of her lord 4°d master, she proceeds to rifle his pockets for change and discovers that he has guilefully anticipated her, she lets loose a bundle of assorted, pale pink feminine expletives, who is going- to blame her? We have encountered people of such icy, self- contained excellence that the most provoking or alarn.ing set of circumstances would not startle them out of a conventional expression of resent ment or regret. But such persons do not occur with irritating regularity, and they speedily be come so superior to their mundane surroundings that a kind and watchful providence loses no time in promoting them to a more auspicious field of activity. The ordinary, red-blooded mortal yields to his or her spleen on odd occasions and, although we do not extenuate profanity, somehow we find ourselves looking on slight hyperbole, under unu sual stress, with a lenient eye. In spite of this breadth of view, we are not pre pared to believe that the condition outlined by the manipulator of the telephone switchboard is typical of the conditions that exist outside of Chi cago. It is not improbable that a few of the bene ficiaries of the beef industries, being rather new to the usages of metropolitan society, allow them selves a latitude of vituperation not permissible in the hoipolloi. But our experience and observa tion inspires the conviction that the women of the south as a whole, and as a rule those of other parts of the country, are exempt from such practices. They may, as explained above, resort to pictur esque slang in a sudden or exasperating emer gency, but we are quite sure that the use of pro fanity or expressions of a vulgar nature is so rare as to excite indignant comment and protest, on their exceptional appearance. Historic Westminster Threaded by Secret Passages cultured circles of the Windy City. “The men, even the society dan dies,” declared the mellow-voiced Central, “are models of select and courteous conversationalistsin comparison with women.” Unffes she exaggerated matters in. the de sire to attain a little passing notoriety, she has ex posed a condition which will come as a surprise to our preconceived notions. Neither will it be an agreeable surprise. The combination of women and profanity is not a welcome or mentally digesti ble one, to men who have been trained to regard members of the other sex as “only a little lower than the angels.” The two elements seem so in compatible that it is with revulsion that we hear of their becoming united, by accident or the de velopment of unnatural conditions.

President Davis is the shadow of a-man. Vice Pres ident Stephens, who reached the capital today, is imponderable, and Mr. Seddon’s bones rattle when he descends the stair ways of the Spottswood. The genii of famine conduct this revolution.” A “SICK BIRD.” The Macon Telegraph in 1863 published the following about a “Sick Bird:” “Punch has for its principal caricature a consultation between Old Abe and Seward upon the condition of the Amer ican Eagle, which is perched between them, evidently in “a bad- fix,” Lincoln, who is “roosting” upon a chair, his feet upon the round, his hands under hia chin and his elbows renting upon his knees, remarks: “I guess that fowl is pretty well used up. I calculate he's going to cave in.” “He certainly looks a little shaky at present," says Seward, "but I see no harm 3’et—simply moulting, sir, that’s all—a black draught will put him all right, sir. In thirty days that bird,, sir, will be in better plumage than ever.” “Well,” says Abe, “I hope so, but I think, doctor, the black draughts already given have pretty well played the devil with him.” COLONEL RODDY AND HIS MEN. The fallowing clipping in the old scrap book was taken from The Huntsville Ala., Advocate of May 8, 1863: “Colonel Roddy and his brave men de serve the thanks of our people for their gallant exertions in defending Alabama during t>ie recent yankee raid through our region. They fought the enemy, al though five to one. from Bear Creek to Town Creek, unassisted, taking 100 pris oners one cannon, disabling another, in flicting a loss of 100 in killed and wound ed upon them and impeding their march It every step to Town Creek.

By HELEN HARCOURT. Written for Cb* Sunny loath HEESE Is the common form in which the caseine of milk is used in a separate state as an .article of food. In new milk, caseine is soluble in water, and is usually separated from the milk in ’a coagulated or clotted form. The propor tion of caseine in milk is not always the same, but it averages about 3 per cent. It is not coagulated by heat. If It wefe, all milk that is heated would and we would have no boiled milk at all, and humankind would be in dismay. Rennet is most generally used in the making of cheese, but sometimes sul phuric, hydrochloric, nitric and acetic acids are employed. Also, alcohol, creo sote and an infusion of nut-galls. Caseine forihs insoluble precipitates with solutions of poisonous salts, such as acetate of lead, nitrate of silver, and corrosive sublimate. It is because of this fortunate quality that in cases of poisoning from any of these salts, iarge doses of milk will save the patient. The reason is that the caseine in the milk at once forms an insoluble compound with the poison, and thus holds it prison er, as it were, and harmless, because, as a solid body, it cannot enter into the blood. ’Tis a fact well worth remem bering for use in an emergency. Caseine is composed of several ele mental bodies, carbon, which forms more than half of its substance, oxygen, nitro- REID’S LONDON HOME. (From a London Cable.)

Of peculiar interest is the Jerusalem chamber, which was built more than 500 years ago and was probably at one time the abbot’s withdrawing room. It was in this chamber that Henry IV died, in curious fulfillment of a prophecy that he should die In Jerusalem: “It hath been prophesied me many a year I shall not die but in Jerusalem.

Parmesian cheese comes from Parma, Italy. It owes its fine flavor to the peculiar herbs that grow on the banks of the Po, where the cattle graze. Cream cheese is made from cream curd, which has been placed in a cloth and allowed to drain without the usual pressure being applied. As an article of diet cheese is highly nutritious, but it has costive properties, and is therefore used chiefly as a con diment in small quantities after a meal. It then serves an added purpose, that of giving an impetus to the process of di gestion. Serves this purpose, that is, if it is old cheese, so old as to have be come somewhat mouldy. In this state , cheese acts as a leaven, and causes grad- ourdled 1fu al chemical changes to commence among the particles of food that have been pre viously eaten. Cheese thus aids in the dissolving of food which must take place before the process of digestion can proceed. A striking illustration of this property of cheese came under the writer’s obser vation some years ago. A lady was sud denly prostrated by an attack of acute indigestion. The food she had eaten lay in a hard, compact mass in the stom ach. and all the efforts of the several physicians who were called in were in vain. Nothing could be found to dis solve the cause of the patient’s suffer ings. In the midst of her agony she call ed for cheese. It was the one thing she craved, the one thing that she felt her stomach would not reject, but her physi cians refused the request a3 suicidal. Cheese was one of the worst things she could take and it would only add to her pain, such was their verdict. But there wa3 one young doctor, scarcely more than a student, who would have given the patient the cheese she asked for, not only because the others had given up the case as hopeless in any event, but be cause he had faith in its digestive pow ers. Well, the patient died. An autopsy was held and the young physician made a re quest that was granted by his elders, al most with a smile. He scattered some old cheese, grated, over Vie hard mass that had been taken from the stomach. In a short time, to the amazement of the amused onlookers, the mass began to soften, and soon it fell apart, dissolved. Then those wtee men, the seniors, ac knowledged that had they yielded to the craving of their patient she wouid have been saved. It was a leisson that they never forgot. That observant young doc tor is today one of the leading physicians of the United States. The cheese of Switzerland deserves spe cial mention, not only because of its ex cellent quality, but because of the pecu liar customs that obtain in connection with it, showing the high esteem in which it is held in that weird country of ro mance. The social rank of a family in Switzerland is estimated by the age of Its cheese. The greater the respect or ' affection felt for a guest, the older the j cheese set before him. In the pantry'of every well-to-do Swiss family will be found as many cheeses as there are j boys and girls. For always, at the birth of each child, a cheese is made, and put away on the pantry shelves, marked with the name of its owner. AT THE WEDDING. These cheeses are never cut until the wedding day of their owners. On this momentous occasion every guest must partake of the two cheeses, the bride’s and the groom’s, in order to secure for the newly wedded pair all earthly thrift and happiness. But not all of the cheeses are eaten. A portion of each is reserved to serve as a friendly souvenir and a heartfelt token of mourning, at the funerals of the same pair when the time has come for them to part with In that Jerusalem shall Harry die.” And in th* same chamber Addison.

It cab be extracted from vegetation a s well as from milk, being especially present In sweet and bitter almonds, peas and beans, and is also’ found in tea and coffee. The vegetable caseine so closely resembles the caseine from milk that the one can hardly be told from the other, either by chemical tests or by taste. This is so essentially the fact, that in certain parts of China, notably in the vicinity of Canton, there is regularly made a kind of cheese which Is innocent of having ever been introduced to the world by a cow or goat,- but finds its parentage in a pea field. This vegetable cheese is largely sold under the local name of taofoo, and is as wholesome and almost as nutritious as the Simon-pure article. LONG IN USE. The caseine of milk, in the form of cheese, has been used as food for centuries, ever since advancing civiliza tion found out how to make it. From the first it ha3 been highly esteemed for its taste, nutritive value, and for its digestive powers. There are many va rieties of cheese, and they owe their differences not only to the food of the cows, but to the different ways of treat ing the milk. Skimmed milk cheese is made from milk from which the cream has been removed. This cheese is natur- | ally of an uninviting white tint, so a lit. i tie harmless coloring matter is added, such as arnotto. or {he well-known “but ter color” which is one of the products of that wonderful substance, coal oil. The color must be added before the milk is coagulated, not only In this variety of cheese, but in all others in which it ic used at all. Sweet milk cheese Is made in the same way, from unskimmed mu- and most of the butter fat then remains in the caseine. Stilton cheese is the name of an especi ally fine article made originally in Lan cashire, England. For this cheese the cream of the evening’s milk is added to j ea f tw t y th, " gs - . the new milk of the next morning.
