Ind TOE VOICE IN THE DARK, A Memory of Pickett's Brigade and a Night Attack. Some years after the civil war a gathering of veterans of both sides was exchanging reminiscences at a banquet given by the board of trade of New York, writes Mrs. La Salle Corbel! Pickett in Lippincott’s. The presiding officer was Colonel J. J. Phillips of the Ninth Virginia regiment, Pickett’s division. He was speaking of night attacks and recalled one in particular, not be cause of its startling horrors, but because of a peculiar circumstance, almost resulting in the compulsory disobedience of orders —the obey ing, as it were, of a higher com mand than that of earth. “The point of attack had been carefully selected,” said Colonel Phillips, “the awaited dark night had arrived, and my command was to fire when General Pickett should signal the order. “There was that dread, indescrib able stillness, that weird, ominous sience, that always settles over everything before a fight. You felt that nowhere in the universe was there any voice or motion. “Suddenly the awesome silence was broken by the sound of a deep, full voice rolling over the black void like the billows of a great sea, directly in line with our guns. It was singii. ' the old hymn, 'Jesus, Lover of My Soul.’ “I have heard that grand old music many times in circumstances which intensified its impressive ness, but never had it scorned so solemn as when it broke the still ness in which we waited for the or der to fire. Just as it was given there rang through the night the words: “Cover my defenseless head With the nha< w of thy wing. “‘Heady! Aim! Fire to the left, boys!’ I said. “The guns were shifted, the vol lev that blazed out swerved aside, and that defenseless head was ‘cov -1 ered’ with the shadow of his wing.” 1 A Federal veteran who had been • listening looked up suddenly and I said: l “I remember that night, colonel, . and that midnight attack which . carried off so many of my comrades. , I was the singer.” There was a second of silence. 1 Then “Jesus, Lover of My Soul,” 1 rang across that banquet board as ’ on that black night in 1864 it had ) rung across the lines at Bermuda ; Hundred. Rossini’s Resting Place. ’ For years Rossini’s body rested I in Pero Lachaise, and then city • of Florence asked that it might be I transferred to the Church of the ) Holy Cross in that city, where the ( bodies of Galilei, Michelangelo, . Machiavelli, Alfleri and other great Italians are entombed. Consent ’ was received from the municipality, 1 but the master’s widow, Dona Olympia, would consent to the ) translation only on condition that ) when her time came her body might be placed next to that of her ; husband. This request was bluntly denied, for the reason that only ; Italians “who hud achieved great i ness” could rest there. In 1878 the widow died and before her death consented in writing to the removal of her husband’s body to Florence, provided her body be placed in the • grave from which his would be tak- en in Pero Lachaise, and after a long time for consideration this was done. Yearning For Light. "When it comes to consuming gas in large quantities blind people can beat their seeing brethren all hollow,” said an inspector of the gas company. “I know two fami lies where both husband and wife are blind. Every jet is turned on full tilt in their homes at night and is kept going at that rate clear up to 12 o’clock. Light nnd darkness! are all the same to the afflicted ones, but they insist upon illumine-j tion brilliant enough for a recep tion. And that partiality for light is not a whim peculiar to those two couples. Most blind people feel that way. They demand the light, and in all private homes and insti tutions where the blind are cared for the gas bills vouch for the strange fancy.” —Exchange. Mary’s Wedding. A Maryland man recently mar ried off kis fourth daughter, the ceremonies touching whose wedding were given much attention by the “society editors” of the country pa pers in that region. A week or two after the wedding a friend wbv had been north for acme time met the father, to whom he made some jocular reference in ! regard to the recent “event.” “I see by one paper,” said he, “that i Mary’s wedding ‘well nigh beggared deecr ption.’ ’’ “Well.** said the old man. “I don’t knov. about that, but I do know it wall nigh beggared me'”—Lippin •Btt’a TRICK SHOOTING. The Way Some of the Stage Feata Are Accomplished. When a champion rifle shot fires blindfolded at a wedding ring or a penny held between his wife’s thumb and finger or seated back to her shoots, by means of a mirror, at an apple upon her head or on a fork held in her teeth, the danger of using a bullet is obvious. None, of course, is needed. The explo sion is enough. The apple is al ready prepared, having been cut into pieces and stuck together with an adhesive substance, and a thread with a knot at the end, pulled through it from the “wings,” so that it flies to bits when the gun is fired, is “how it is done.” Generally the more dangerous a feat appears the more carefully is all danger guarded against. In the “William Tell” act the thread is often tied to the assistant’s foot. When, again, the ash is shot off a cigar which the assistant is smok ing a piece of wire is pushed by his tongue through a hollow passage in the cigar, thus thrusting off the ash at the moment of firing. A favorite but simple trick is the shooting from some distance at an orange held in a lady’s hand. Great applause is invariably forthcoming when the bullet drops out on her cutting open the fruit. It is insert ed by hand earlier in the evening. Another popular trick is that of snuffing out lighted candles. Half a dozen are placed in front of a screen, in which as many small holes are bored, one against each candle wick. At the moment of firing a confederate behind the screen sharply blows out each can dle with a pair of bellows. Tn most instances where a ball or other object has to be broken on a living person’s head blank car tridge is used and the effect pro duced by other means. A special wig with a spring concealed in it worked by a wire under the clothes is generally used, the confederate manipulating the spring simulta neously with the firing of the rifle. As the ball is of extremely thin glass, a mere touch suffices to shat ter it. In these exhibitions some of the rifle “experts” invite gentlemen from the audience to testify that the weapon is indeed loaded. The 1 cartridge shown looks very well, but , it is a shell of thin wax blackened to resemble a leaden bullet. It would not hurt a fly.—London Tit- Bits. Didn’t Suit Washington. Until the early part of the last i century Milford, Conn., had a house , in which Washington was said to , have spent a night. It was in 1789, , when Washington made a tour of New England. Tradition says that ■ there were certain things about his stay at the Milford tavern which he did not enjoy. The supper set be- ’ fore him consisted of boiled meat i nnd potatoes. He was not pleased ■ with the meal and asked for a bowl , of bread and milk. The landlord . brought the new order and a broken pewter spoon with which to eat it. “Have you no better spoons than this?” asked General Washington. , “It’s the best I have in the house, sir,” replied the host. “Send me the servant,” said his excellency. “Here’s 2 shillings. Go ’ to the minister’s and borrow a sil ver spoon.” Tradition does not add whether he got the spoon or not. Ex change. Caught. In Philadelphia they tell a story of a man whose wife had arranged an “authors’ evening” and persuad ed her reluctant husband to remain at home and help her receive the fifty guests who were asked to par ticipate in this intellectual feast. The first author was dull enough, but the second was worse. More ! over, the rooms were intolerably warm. So, on pretense of letting in some cool air, the unfortunate host escaped to the hall, where he found a servant comfortably asleep on the settee. “Wake up!” sternly commanded the Philadelphian in the man's ear. “Wake up, I say! You must have been listening at the keyhole!”— Harper's Magazine. How SenolooHo Bury Their Dead.

The discovery of the watermark was the result of an accident, prob ably a thousand years ago. Parch ment was then made of vegetable pulp, which was poured in a liquid state into a sieve. The water drip ped out from below, and the thin layer of pulp that remained was pressed and dried. When dry it was found to bear upon it the marks of the fiber that composed the bottom of the sieve. These fibers seem to have been twisted reeds, and the mark they left on the parchment took the form of wide lines running across and across diagonally. In those days the watermark was regarded as a blemish since the fiber was thick and coarse and the deep im pression made on the paper proved a drawb kin writing. The quill of the scribe found many a yawning gap to cross on the surface of the manuscript — “switchback scripture” it has been termed. But when wire was sub stituted for fiber in |jie sieve, says a writer in the Denver Republican, the lines of the watermark grew thinner and less conspicuous. The possibilities of the useful ness of the watermark became ap parent by degrees. It was first found to be of service in preventing the forgery of books and manu scripts. Many a bogus copy of a rare work has been detected be cause the counterfeiter failed to take into account the watermarks of the original. The watermark of many a pre cious manuscript in the world’s mu seums is alike its glory and its safeguard. And in the sphere of bank notes and paper money every where the watermark is most use ful in protecting the notes from imitation. The term “watermark” is in re ality a misnomer since the mark is actually produced by wire. Wire is fashioned into the desired pat tern, figure or lettering. This is inserted beneath the sheet in the last stages of its manufacture and while the paper is still capable of receiving the impression, and the wire device stamps itself into the sheet. Ordinary note paper held up to the light reveals hundreds of par allel lines running up and down, betraying the fact that the paper was made on a wire foundation. To this the paper owes its smooth ness and its even texture. Th* Welah Not*. Here Is what the Rev. John Evans tells us in reference to the way in which English was taught in Wales in the eighteenth century: “This school had several features unknown in the Welsh school of to day. The Welsh note was one in dispensable feature. This secured English conversation. It was a smooth piece of wood, like a flat inch rule, with the letters ‘W. N.’ carved on it. When any one was caught speaking Welsh the Welsh note was immediately handed to him, but the hand which held it at the end of the lesson was the one made to tingle in consequence, so it was a common occurrence for the child who had it to move about from pew to pew, craftily tempting others to speak Welsh. This sign of guilt therefore often changed hands until at last it rested in that which had to bear the burden of all the transgressions of that law.” An Indefinite Numbar. Three-year-old Andrew was in a rather petulant mood, and in order to restore his customary good hu mor his mother promised him some preserved strawberries if he would be a good boy. Calling a servant, she said: “Jennie, please give Andrew about four strawberries.” Jennie proceeded to fulfill the wish of her mistress and counted out the berries, “One, two, three, four.” “I want five,” protested the child. “But your mother said four," said Jennie. “Mamma said ‘about four,’ ” re plied Andrew. And he got the fifth.—New York Times. Hi* Favortt* G«mc Bird. At a dinner one day, says a writer in the Philadelphia Public Ledger, some men were discussing the merits of different kinds of E‘ me birds. One preferred canvas ck duck, another woodcock, and ' still another thought a quail the most delicious article of food. The discussion and the dinner ended at about the same time. “Now. Frank.” said one of the men to the waiter at hie elbow, i “what kind of game do you like ; best?” "Well, anh. to tell the truf, al most any kind of game suite me, but what I like bee’ is an American eagle served on a silver dollar.” | Weak Women I 1 frequently suffer great pain and misery during the!

AT ALL DRUG STORES A DIAMOND STORY. The Way a Russian Princess Disposes of Her Jewels. A few years ago Ludwig Nissen, a well known wholesale dealer of the Maiden lane district, was in the office of a diamond merchant in London when a stranger came in and offered an unusually beautiful stone for sale. The Englishman did not care to buy. But Nissen thought he saw a bargain. But he was not willing to buy until he learned who owned the stone and where it had come from. The man said he represented a friend, a wo man, who did not care to have her name disclosed. The American was firm. If he could not learn the owner’s name he would not buy. The stranger said he would see the woman and talk the matter over with her. The next day he came back and took Mr. Nissen to the woman’s home. She lived in a handsome apartment in one of the most fash ionable quarters of the city. It turned out that she was a Russian princess who, with her husband and her daughter, had been driven from Russia for having taken part in a nihilist movement. Os all their large property they had saved only their jewels. She opened a little safe and showed the Ameri can one of the finest collections of diamonds he haa ever seen. They were Wort. l $200,000 or $300,000. “We sell them a few at a time,” she explained, “just enough of them each year to give us a living. Perhaps you will wonder why we don’t sell them all and live on the interest of the money? But my husband has the gambler’s spirit. The money would not last a year. So we part from them piecemeal. I estimate that there are enough of them to keep us twenty years, and I don’t expect to live longer than that.” One of those diamonds forms the centerpiece of one of the most val uable necklaces in New York. A few others are sent to this country every year. In the “diamond horse shoe” at the opera there is never a night when there are not some of the jewels of the exiled princess on view.—New York Tribune. Kndnl For Indigestion.
