I had a remarkable case happen to ma during the battles around Richmond. That is to say, it happened to another man, but I was part of it. It was on a skirmish line, and I was lying behind a log with two other men—I was only a private then—one of whom wan an in- veterate joker, and the other was one of the imaginative kind of soldiers. In fact, . be was so imaginative that he was al- most soared out or his wits, and when bullets and shells began flying through the woods, cutting off saplings, clipping limbo all 'around us, and. barking the top of the log behind which we lay, I thought the fellow would burst a blood vessel, or lite orazy, or do some other fool thing *unbecoming a soldier. Tom, the joker, noticed the man's terror and called my attention to it. Then ho reached out and dragged in a stick cut from the trees above ns by a bullet, and fixing a pin In it proceeded to have his fun. The man was at the far end of one" log, ten feet from Tom, and I was just beyond Tom on the other side, and, I am free to con- fess, was nervous enough to wonder at Tom's manner at such a time. However, I couldn't help watohfng his movements, and actually laughed to see him eliding the pin -pointed stick along toward the unsuspeoting victim. Having got It at the right diatancc he waited for a smash- ing volley of bullets, and just as it came he prodded the man. Well, it was really funny to gee the chap jump and yell and rell over, and we both fairly howled. But It wann't so funny when the man didn't move lifter his first startled action, and Tom looked around to me in a Reared kind of way. His surprise found expres- elon in an oath and he called to the man. There was no ,newer, and he called again with the same result. Then he crept over to him and gave Mm a shake. That brought no response either, and Tom dragged him around so that he -pallid see his tape.

It has been said that no reigning royal house in Europe is free from too taint of banality, and there are many aotual lapses into insanity by reigning sovereigns on record.

Though be began his reign well, the ll'ronob revolution seems to have entirely tarried his brain.

This was the first time an English soldier had appeared In uniform in America since the days of 1819-16.

It Is very odd that, knowing the Im- portance of this matter, and the great advantage it gives to a woman, whether she he plain or beautiful, tall or short, fat or thin, to hold herself well, so very few are willing to take the trouble of acquiring a habit which, when once mastered, 1s rarely lost.
