A Ronmrkable Recovery.
Dr. Robert St. George Dryauforth of
Wa hingt. n relates a curious experience
of his own during the civil war, and
later while acting as a coriestiondent in
the Franco-German war. While serving
in the first great struggle th' doctor was
shot through the lungs nd was invalideel.
He subsequently w nt to Europe for his
health and remained there some years
Wh n the German war broke out he
b . inc c ii '-po", lent for the N w York
I'r.'j .ne, and in ono of the battles he
was shot through the base of the sku'l.
He caught a heavy cold while lying
! wounded on the battk-fi hl, and hu
wound in the lungs troubled him so
much that his life w is despaired of and
: he was a victim of rapid consumption.
One day during a violent fit of coughing
the doctor brought up a piece of his
' overcoat, which had been shot into bis
lungs t n years Wore. The ejection of
th a cans.- . f irritation so relieved him
that he at once became Iwtter, and finally
I completely recov. r 1. H ■ returned to
, Wa-shington an i has since held the office
of Ju Ige of th, C u t of Appeals. He
was also a member o: the Board ot Ex
aminers and Assistant Commissioner ot
Patents. D yur.forth is now a prominent
patent lawyer.

A Quarrelsome Bahr.
In n certain menagerie, n baby ele
phant was added to the collection of ani
mals. It was chained opposite the cage
of a lion. From the first day these ani
mals be< ntn : neighbors they < v need a
hostility against each other tint al: irncd
the managers. To prevent an outbreak,
the elephant was removed to a p >int out
of the sight of tho lion’s cage. It was
thought the an'.m ds would forget each
other. Shortly after midnight a watch
man on the street w u startled by the
rattling of chans, followed by the
trumpeting of the elephant and the rour
ing of the lion. Il istcningto the mu
seum he found the managers and a num
ber if the :t:igi.' work ngm-n battling
with tli<- little elephant, which had seized
the lion with its trunk by the hind leg
mid was tugging to pull the beast through
the bars of the cage. The roars of the
lion aroused all the other aiiMhid.’, and
their cries added to the confu ion. Twice
the men succeeded in breaking the hold
of the elephant, which then, maddened
by K iatches and bites of the lion, strove
to break down the strong cage in which
its enemy wa? confined, and twice the
elephant renewed its hold. Finally the
men, rc-enforced by other workers in the
museum, succeeded in binding the little
cleplia t with ropes and chains, nnd
securing him at a place far removed from
the lion. It xvas found that the lion’s
leg was badly wrenched. The elephant
‘ escaped with unimportant scratches and
bites in Sts trunk.
Birclte’t ltn<i Dream*
Aunt Annie was getting ready for bed
one night. It rained very hard, and
there was thunder, with sharp flashes of
; lightning. The window was open, but
. the blinds were shut.
Suddenly she thought she hoard some
filing say, “Chirp, chirp!" outside the
shutters, and a little tap, tap, against
them. She waited, and listened a mo
i ment; and then it came again—a sharp
little cry—“Wcet, weet!"
She opened the sbutti rr, and in flew a
little yellow bird. lie had been fast
asleep in some high tree, when the bright
flashes and the loud rain woke him up
an 1 frightened hint so that he came to
I the window and begged to be let in.
1 think he must have felt just as you
do when you have a bad dreiunand want
to creep into mamma’s bed. Perhaps he
thought his house was on fire, or that the
flood had come again.
But, when he got in, the .gaslight and
the strange place frightened him still
more. He flew round and round the
j ceiling until Aunt Annie was afraid he
would batter himself to death.
Bhe hud turned the gas down very low,
so as to quiet him, when l e dashed into
it, and put it out; but he did not Lum
i himself.
Aunt Annie put a towel over the water
pitcher, so that he could not fall in, and
she took care to move about very softly.
Presently, the poor little fellow, finding
that nobody wanted to hurt him, settled
down on the gas-fixture at the head of
the bed, folded his tired wings, tucked
' Ids little head (which must have ached,
I am sure, from the bumps he ha I given
it) under his feathers and xvent to sleep.
He looked very queer indeed—just as
though he had uo head.
His tiny claws could just clasp nicely
round the smooth perch he had chosen.
Aunt Annie left the shutters and the
window both open, while birdio slept
all night or. th < funny roost; and, when
the bright summer morning came, he
fl. w- out into the fresh air, before auy
bdy was awake. Away he ’.vent; anil
we never saw him again.
How astonished he mu t l ave been
xvhen he opened his eyes, to find him
self in a bedroom, sitting on a gas-fix
ture I I guess he must have tlieught to
himself:
"How did I come bene!
1 went to sleep las night in a tree;
And bow I got he e I do not see!’’
Earth Waves.
A capital way to d - -ver the passage
of earth waves ia by means of the oil in
a kerosene lamp. If the lamp be of glass
and half filled with kerosene oil when
the shocks com-ripples will be seen to

A Fallen Foe.
After the battle was over nt Shiloh, on
Tuesday, I was detailed for picket duty.
I, with two of my comrades, was sent to
tL right of the Purdy road, on the brow
of the hill near where the reserve was
stationed. The night was one of unusu
ally black darkness, and wo had orders
Io shoot on sight. I xvas slightly in ad
vance of my two comrades, and in a
most solitary spot.
Along.aboui four o’clock I heard some
tie coming through the brush. Iliad no
time to consult my comrades, for on he
camo.
I shouted “Halt!" My foe stopped.
“Who comes there?” No reply, but on
he came. I called again and then fired.
I was frightened, and my heart was in
my mouth. I heard something drop
heavily to the groui <l, accompanied by a
groan equal to the signal of a fog horn.
My shot brought Lieutenant, Green, of
my company, to the post. He with my
comrades wanted to know what my shot
meant.
I said, “I have shot some one in that
thicket, for I heard him groan."
With the aid of a lantern which the
Lieutenant had brought, wc proceeded to
carefully investigate. We had not far to
go until we came upon a dead mule, shot
as fairly between the eyes as you please.
The Saving Power of Whisky.
General Steedman was fond of telling
the following instance of what liquor
would sometimes do.
The night after the battle of Chicka
mauga, Steedman was riding past a cabin
by the roadside. A woman at the fence
said to him: “There is a dead Union of
fiicer in my house.” Steedman dis
mounted and went in to see the dead
man. fie found him lying in a corner
covered with a blanket, where the sur
geon had abandoned him. He pulled the
covering off, stooped down, and by the
light of a canle recognized his old friend,
Colonel Durbin Ward. He was cold and
apparently lifeless. Steedman felt his
pulse, and found a slight fluttering. Call
ing for his orderly, who carried a canteen
of whisky, he raised the dying man. nnd
putting the canteen to his mouth, poured
a liberal quantity of the reviving fluid
down his throat. The reaction came, the
surgeons were sent for, and Durbin Ward
was saved. He never got done thanking
Steedman, and he never could listen with
patience to a temperance orator decrying
spirits thereafter. “I am a living exam
ple,” ho used to say, “of the saving pow
er of even commissary whisky.”
The Wrong Leg.
Mr. Smith had the rheumatism and
the doctor failed to cure it. One day a
friend asked leave to send a lady mind
curer to his aid. The Indy came, boasted
of her exploits in her science, and, sud
denly placing her hand on the patient's
knee, cried:
“I feel it—the sciatica is all centered
here I”
Mr. Smith eyed the lady, quizzically.
“Excuse me, maddam,” he said, “but
you’ve touched the wrong leg. The pain
is all in the other one.”
A Lover’s Motto.
“Funny motto to put ou your coat

Training for Work.
! The idea of education is to train the
mind so that its action may lie rapid and
logical, its functions healthy and law
abiding. In accomplishing this, the
storehouse becomes filled with knowledge
useful and pleasurable.
IVomen’s education was, at one time,
considered thorough when her mind had
Im-ui trained to comprehend only the
sentimental part of life; of its practical
part she need not know anything.
All this is changed. In those days she
was not expi'ctcd to study what her
brothers delved into, to its depths. Her
talents and aspirations were hedged about
by conventionalities, bounding her ambi
tions on every side. Now the willing
nes- to give her opportunities increases,
and educational institutions invite her
patronage. Universities and colleges
prejiare her for professional life; techni
cal and business schools fit her for busi
ness and the trades.
it is conscientious work the world
needs, and the more capable a woman is,
the more thoroughly she prepares herself,
i the more desirable her work will be, and
the more extensive her market.
The world is fast finding out that, be
hind the gentleness and grace possessed
by woman, there are just as large stores
of judgment,eni rgy and thoroughness, and
it is fast utilizing these resources. In bus-
I iness, success depends upon the value of
the work one can do, and it is beneath
the dignity of a true woman to appeal for
patronge, simply because she is a woman.
First fit yourself for what you would
undertake, then patiently demand it, and
you stand au equal chance with your
' brother.
The higher a woman aspires the more
' extensive should be her education. If
she expects to begin that long scige to
enter a profession, the highest and best
law schools are open to her; the faculties
of our finest medical colleges receive her
courteously; technical institutions will
fit her for lithographing, wood carving,
architectural work and designing for
house decoration; business col'eges xviL
te ch her a knowledge of accounts.
An education gained in either school
will lay the foundation for an active, in
dependent life. Every girl should re
ceive Hull an education with the idea of
utilizing it, and then, if she ever accepts
an offer for a quiet home partne sliip.it
xvill make her an active partner as well as
a helping one. *
We have yet to learn of a spirited, well
informed woman losing anything in the
estimation of the world by the knowl
edge that renders her independent.
Women in Mar.
The suffragists arc xvaging war in tin:
East. New York is the battlefield most
exciting at present. Kenridge, a mime
familiar to Ledger renders, treats the
subject in most felicitous fashion in a
late issue of the New York Graphic.
She says: “They want the spoils of war,
but not its dangers; for how many do
you suppose would be willing to do mili -
tary service ? If forced to march against
the enemy, they would look with more
anxiety to the fit of their uniforms than
to the conditions of their swords and
muskets. If the opposing army had
some pretty good-looking men in front
they might forget to fire nt them until
tbo late, or if the General came prancing
forward on his charger with a few mati
nee tickets the entire regiment would
surrender at discretion. But take the
most favorable view of the case—even
that has its horrors. Imagine our noble
band of suffrage infantry communing
with each other on a battlefield m this
w ise:
“Oh, Julia, -come help me load this
horried gun. Is there a trigger ? And
whereshall I put it ? In the barrel—oh,
no, that's where tiie bullets goes.”
“Nevermind leading up now,” says
Julia; the enemy’s over two miles off.
j Here’s some caramels I found in my hav
; crsack.”
“What nasty, sharp swords these, are,'
says a third; “I've a good mind to throw
mine away, and just use this sweet little
silver dagger Cousin George gave me for
a paper-knife.”
“I don’t believe our caps came from
Paris,’ says a fourth; ‘they’re not the
very lastest style for army use.’ At
which there is a shriek of disgust, and
the command to march being given, the
ladies meander off to meet Hie enemy,
feeling terribly depressed by tliLs infor
-1 mat ion ”
Kenridge is so disgusted with her own
picture that she feebly concludes: “De
fended by such soldiers, this land of the
free and home of the brave wouldn’t be
worth living in."
Too Bashful.
“Bridget, you sit up so late that we
don’t have hviikfast till nine o'clock.”
“I'll do better, mum ”
“I think it's the beaux, Bridget.’
“Likely, mum.”
“And you’ll have to stop sitting uj» so
late nights in the kitchen with them. ’
“Oil, thank ye, mum, but they’d be so
bashful in the parlor, ye sec.”
