Just below the stone fort at Caney, sitting in the middle of a pineapple field, I came upon a pitiful sight—a soldier sitting on the ground, holding in his lap the head of a poor fellow who was literally shot to pieces. One bullet had gone through his|head, another through his lungs and chest, tearing a horrible hole, from which the blood poured at every breath. He was almost dead, and every breath sounded like the noise made by pouring liquid from a bottle, and his comrade kept the flies from his face, that was clotted with blood and dirt, and waited. Occasionally, when the poor fellow would groan a bit louder than usual, the friend would change t£e dying man’s position, but he held him as still as he could. “Don’t suppose there's a surgeon about?” he inquired, as I stopped. I told him there was not now, but would be later. “Well,” he remarked, quietly, “don’t suppose they could help him. He’s ‘bout gone, I reckon.” The breathing became weaker and the gurgling fainter and fainter as the grayish pallor began to show through the sweat and dirt and blood, and finally, without a tremor, breathing ceased. The soldier held his burden a moment until he saw the end had come, and then laid his handkerchief over the ghastly face and gently let the head down to the ground, and slowly got up. “Know him?” I asked. “My brother,” he camly said. And then he filled his lungs with one long deep sigh and gazed off to the hills for a moment with a far away, thoughtful look, and 1 could see that he was looking straight into some home and wondering what mother would think.

Worry. “Worry destroys not only the hu man intellectual apparatus, but the physical structure, and like an assas sin in the night, strikes down its vic tim, who may, or may not, have been forewarned.” Here Dr. Jacobs grows absorbed in the subject of the inter j view, so let hirn tell the wonderful facts. “Not only is it known,"resumes the great neurologist, counting oft his words, as it were, on his finger tips, “that worry kills, but the most minute details of its murderous methods ,are familiar to modern scientists. Nor are the methods of the insiduous toe too complex for the comprehension of the layman. It is a common belief of those who have made a special study of the science of brain diseases that hundreds of deaths attiibuted to other causes each year are due simply to worry. “In plain, untechnical language, worry works its irreparable injury through certain cells of the brain, and that delicate mechanism being the nutritive center ot the body, the other organs become gradually affected. Thus some disease of these organs or a combination of organic maladies arising, death finally ensues. “It is in this way worry stuffs out human life. The insiduous inroads upon the system if th s quitt destroy er can be best likened to the constant falling of a drop of water in one spot —the incessant drip that finally wears away the rock. In the brain it is the insistent, never-lost idea, the single constant thought, centered upon one subject, which in the course ot time destroys the brain cells that are the engineers and pilots, so to speak, of the human craft, and from which the powers of mentality, action and health are directed unerringly. “Worry in the form of irritation at certain points produces little or no injury if infrequent, but continued without cessation brings with it phys ical dissolution, just as surely as the bullet sped from a gun to a vital part. The healthy brain can cope with oc casional worry; it is the iteration and reiteration of a disquieting thought which the cells of the brain cannot successfully combat.” Ashhurn, Ga., Aug. 17 ’97.

AH Signs Failed. ‘■l have lost all faith in signs.” said Dodson, as someone brought up the subject of superstition. “I have al ways been more or less superstitious ami a believer in signs; but I had such a setback the other day that I have lost all faith in their potency. “Perhaps you will remember that there was a horse called Blackmail entered in the races held some time ago? “I like to make a modest bet now and then on the races, and I had giv en some thought to the particular race that this Blackball was entered in. “While I was deeply pondering over the merits of the different horses entered in the race, Brown came up, and slapping me on the back, wanted to know if 1 had heard that Smith had been blackballed at the club. “The name Blackball, came to me like a flash. 1 hadn't the slightest doubt it was a sign to back Blackball, and the subsequent events seemed to prove it. “On my way home I saw a small boy bounding a rubber ball. A little further on 1 discovered a small dark ey crying on the door-step—the black bawl. “Going down town that night 1 passed a house where some colored people were holding a ball. “That settled it, and 1 resolved to back Blackball for all that I was worth. “How did I come out? Blackball came in seventh. The only reason ihe didn't come in eigthh was the fact that there were only seven horses en tered. I felt so mad on my way home that I passed under every ladder I came to."—Detroit Free Press. An American Killed by an American Shell. It’s a queer thing six,” said one of these men to me, as he finished up a meal with a gulp of coffee, “It’s a queer thing, the luck of war. We used to talk about that down in Cu- La before the fighting began, figuring out what a chance a man had of getting killed. I'm a volunteer, sir; you can see it by my hat. I’m in the Thirty-third Michigan, a member of the band. Well there was anoth er chap in the band; he played the \rombone, and he used to laugh and say that the Spaniards couldn’t spoil his business, any way, they might shoot his legs off, or shoot his arms off, or shoot all through his body, so long as they didn’t kill him; ahd when he came out of the war he’d be able to go on playing the trombone just the same. All he needed to do that was his mouth. “Well, sir, when we got into the fighting a Mauser bullet came along and struck Mr. Trombone Player right in the mouth, and fixed him so that now he can drink through his nose, because there isn’t any di vision between. And he’ll never blow another note as long as he lives. They never touched his legs nor his arms nor anything else, but they queered his mouth, and that’s what I call tough luck.” I know another case of hard luck,” said a convalescent in the same group; “that was a captain in the Sixteenth Infantry; he was in Cos. E. I think his name was McFarland. He went up San Juan Hill, all right—never got touched; and then, right at the top, he was struck by a piece of shrpanel from one of our own batter ies that was shelling the hill. It was the second artillery did it. I think they were dropping shells into those trenches in great shape, and the Captain got a piece of one of them —got it in the back, and it went right through him. “Go on! he called out. “Go on! I’m done for; my own boys have fixed me. One of the men in the Sixteenth saw it all and told me about it. If that Isn’t hard luck, what it?” Who is to Blame. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kidneys. If the child urinates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, and it is yet afflicted with bed-wet ting, depend upon it, the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be toward the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. If the adult has rheumatism; pain or dull ache in the back; if the water passes in irregular quantities; or at irregular intervals or has a bad odor; if it stains the linen or vessel the col or of rust; if the feet swell; if there are puffy or dark circles under the eyes; your kidneys are the cause and need doctoring. Treatment of some diseases may be delayed without dan ger, but not so with kidney disease.

A Wife mid Hep Husband’* Ilustness. “It is it cause of amazement to mo that a man ton go on year in and year out toiling for a family whoso members show no interest in his work further than to spend the money he makes and who look upon him as the family mint, ” writes Frances Evans in The Ladies’ Home Journal. “My firm belief is that bad he in the first tinsh of married life talked over his business and ambitions with his wife she would have become interested in both, first for his sake and afterward for her own and thoir chil dren's.

Not only do the comfort and satis faction of a good dinner depend greatly upon the carver, but the sup ply for the next day’s dinner also depends upon it. No matter how well the cook has done her part, if a joint be mutilated and hacked to pieces, it can neither be enjoyed at the time nor can it appear at the other meal; so that a good joint may be really wasted for want of attention to this seemingly unimportant item. Meat should invariably be cut right through to the bone, that the richer juices which lie near the bone may be fully enjoyed. A leg of mutton should be sliced thickly', not pressed heavily upon with the knife, as the gravy runs very quickly. It should be cut first in the middle in even slices toward the knuckle end, as this part is not so nice to eat cold. A sirloin of beef can be begun at either end. The outside should be sliced down right to the bone, while the inside loin portion should be sliced thin and lengthways. A fowl should first have the wings taken oft by slicing the breast and dividing the joints with the point of a knife. The legs should then be de tached, next the merry thought from the breastbone, and lastly the breast, when a few slices have been taken from it, by cutting through the tender ribs. A round ot beef cannot be sliced too thinly. A filet of veal snould be served in the same manner, but does not require to be cut so thinly, A ham should be commenced in the middle and cut in thin slices. Some carvers begin at the knuckle end, this being considered the most economical way of cutting it. It is a good plan to have the gravy served in a sauce boat if there is much cutting to be done, as it is very difficult to carve neatly without splashes if the dish is full of liquid.

There was a time when the glove was an emblem of con fidence. Forming a part of the regal habit, it became a badge of rank. In the middle ages the ceremony of investiture in conferring dignities or bestowing lands was consummated by the giving of a glove. Likewise, the deprivation of gloves was a ceremony of degrada tion. Then, too. it was the custom to give gloves in payment of rent, the glove? being accepted as a guarantee of a re tainer’s service, which was the chief condition of tenure. On the Scotch border the glove held a high place as a gage. Hero a glove borne on the point of a lar.ee proclaimed an act of perfidy. Biting the glove was a sign of hostile intent and the usual prelude to a quarrel. Throughout the history of dress they are found symbolical of pledges, gages, gifts or favors. Gloves also form part of burial rites and were carried in fu neral processions until the middle of the eighteenth century. When a maiden died, it was the custom to place in the center of the garland which was borne on her coffin a pair of white gloves—a symbol of virginity and innocence.— Frank H.
