now Mr. Hanna Got. the Medal.
Marcus A. Hanna of Knightville re-
ceived a medal of honor from the Rec.
0rd and Pension office with an inscrip-
tion telling that it was for gallant1y
at Port Hudson, La., July 4,1863. On
that date the Massachusetts regiment
of which Mr. Hanna was sergeant,
was lying in the rifle pits at Port Hud-
son, ‘and every canteen was dry.
About 2 o’clock the suifering became
so intense that Lieutenant Hurd called
for volunteers to go to the 1ear f01 wa-
ter, the service being so hazardous
that he would not take the responsibil-
ity of sending one. Only one man 1e-
;ponded—Mr. Hanna. Before he start-
ed a dummy man was raised over the
rifle pit, and it was speedily 1iddled
with bullets. \{1.Ha;nna then took a
dozen canteens, disposed them about
his body so as to afford the best pro-
tection, and springing from the pit,
dashed for the nearest cover, 1,000
yards away. No bullet hit him, but
they came so close that after going

Recent inquiries in Baltimore have
disclosed what must be recognized as
one of the gravest perils of our
schools. It appears that thousands of
children attending these institutions
are sulfering from defective vision,
and that many of them are in danger
of losing the power of sight altogether.
The movement in favor of independ-
ence is making considerable headway
in Canada, but, it will never amount
to anything serious so long as the Do-
minion is dominated by the 'musty
conservatism "which now controls its
political life. At the present rate of
progress Canada won't be ready for
independence for another century.

STRANGE. V WA? .N‘ED
The Supernatural Visitor that Saved He!
from the Sting of a Cobra.
The following remarkable occur
rence, an absolute fact, is related by a
lady visiting friends in Hartford as i1
was told her by her cousin in Meerat
Northwestern India. '
Her cousin, in whose house the oc-
currence took place, was seated at a
lighted table engaged in reading
when, thinking it about time to retire
and happening to lift her eyes from
her book, she was astonished to see
seated in a chair before her, and be
tween,herself and the door to the
bathroom a man, ‘a stranger to her,
who calmly regarded her.
It gradually dawned upon her that
the figure was probably not that of a
person of real flesh and blood, but a
vision from the unseen world of life
She remembered having once, as a
child, seen a similar figure, under cir-
cumstances which seemed to preclude
the idea that it was any person still
in the b0.dy.¢Concluding that this new
visitor was not a person of flesh and
blood, she sat silently gazing at the si-
lent object, while the intruder, who-
ever or whatever he was, sat also in
silence, steadily regarding her. Just
how long this state of things'Iasted
the lady did not accurately know, but
it was probably not very long when
the 1113's. rious stranger began to van-
is]: into a thinner and thinner personal
pr. scnce, until in a moment-or two he
had vanished quite away.
It was the lady’s hour for her even-
ing bath. but she thought she would
first let out her two pct dogs from
their confinement in another room.
They came barking furiously and run-
ning directly toward the bathroom.
There, through the open door, the lady
was horrified to see-on the floor a
monstrous cobra—the snake whose bite
is certain and speedy death. Spring-
ing forward to save her dogs, she
quickly shut the‘door, but not so in-
stantaneously as to prevent her seeing
the reptile turning and escaping down
through a hole in the floor where the
drain pipes of bathtub and w‘ashbowl
went, a hole which had been careless-
ly left larger than was necessary.
If she had gone directly to the bath-
room, as she would have done but for
the intervention of her mysterious vis-
itant, her life would undoubtedy have
been sacrificed in the act.
Fine Cedar for Best Cigars.
“The spicy odor that you notice in
the cigar box,” said the tobacconist,
“comes from the. wood of which it is
made. It is not because it is impreg-
nated with the tobacco.
trary, the tobacco takes the flavor of
the wood. That is the reason that a
particular wood is used for the bones
of all the best cigars. It is Spanish
cedar. It is an expensive wood, por-
ous and spicy, and the only kind
which has been found to 1m110ve the
flavor of the cigar. Tobacco, as you
know, quickly absorbs any odor with
which it is brought in contact. Cigars
packed in a cardboard box, or one
made of deal, would soon become
very unpleasant to the taste.”
