Toolst We oo stnrs in tho heavens countless millions of mile's nwny because our ryes nro ndnpicd to seo them; How f nsy for our (!rentor o have given us another Ions with which to dlKCtjrn spirits nenr nt band! And may not n mnn'a eye, under certain strained con dltbns, be m cbnnged as to form n spiritual Image? From early morning till afternoon the Confederate Oenernl Alliert Sidney JoliiiNton had Hung ono lmttlo wuvu nfler another upon tho Union army under OrniiL Ho had said nt sunrise, "iMjinrc n seis wo sunn water uuri horses in tho Tennessee." Iteforo that setting ho and thousands of his men had pasHcd from their material bodies. Tho (list day of tho battle of Khlloh had passed, leaving no sound save nn occasional boom, hern nnd theru n rillc shot, but nboro nil tho cries of the wounded. I had fought In tho "hornets' nest," nnd there I hnd been severely wound ed, lying where I fell, among n heap of slain. It was early in April, nnd In Tennessee April Is what June is lu tho northern states. I looked up nnd saw tho leaves of n treo lazily flutter ing in the breeze. I remember It be cause of the peaceful contrast with tho hell raging within me. Oh, that thirst! How It was driving me mad! Then for n timo I lost consciousness. When I came to myself It must hare been nfter midnight. I think lo cause tho wounded, nt least those near me, hnd been removed, nnd there was no bring thing near me. DoubtleHS I hnd been left for dead. Was I not lu tlie first stage of death, yet notdestlmd for the last stage? I hnd no feeling of pain. I lay thinking of the events of tho pnst day. .Suddenly I heard a bugle call. It was "the nssembly." Itul Instead of having the rasping ring of metal it was llko n seraph's Voice. I started up. How light I was! Nothing was nil effort. Looking around, I snw over each body Its coun terpart rising and hurrying nwny. I stood on my feet, and, looking down, theru luy my own corpse. Turning. I saw men forming in tlie ranks of war. I called to an olflcer who passed mo and asked him: "What docs this nil mean?" "They nro coming!" "Who?" Tho Confederate dead." "What! Do the dead fight on?" i'ea; wo uro simply what wo left off being yefltcijlny. We shall now de velop differently, mora rapidly nnd on a much broader scale. Rut for the present come, wo must Join." Wo hurried forwnrd to whero this singular army was forming, nnd, pass ing the flank, I stood for n moment looking down the line. In the faces of the men wns nil the wnr passion of liv ing beings, but nouo of tho fatigue, none of tho suffering. Tho forms wen.' like n night mist, and I noticed that they not only flickered with un un steady motion, .but the lino seemed llko u ling through which a breeze Is passing, Imparting undulations. lty this time there was a lino of bat tlo formed composed of regiment:, whoso meager numbers were Indicated by the nearness of the standards. 1 heard a cheer it sounded llko a dis tant whistling of wind nnd a man rode by in a general's Uniform. "Ho was tho ranking sacriflco yester day," said a man nt my elbow, "but ho Is no mntch for the Confederate goner nl In chief." Our lender waved his sword nbovo his bond, beckoning us to follow him. Thero aviib neither Bound of firing nor tramp of men. Often Binco, when look ing nt the grent panornmns of battlo fields In which tho action Is vividly portrayed without tho slightest sound, I have thought Of this advance of dead nicu. Here nud thero wo would como to a part of tho field occupied by camps, but we passed through them na though they wcro of vapor. Then sud denly emerging from n wood wo Bnw tho Confederates advancing to meet us. Their leader was n tall, magnificent looking mnn In tho uniform of n Cou- federato general. When I first saw him ho wnH riding back nnd forth before bis troops encouraging them. They "were n singular army, lnfnntrymen, artillerymen, cavalrymen, standing shoulder to shoulder. Tho battle flags were torn nnd dingy, Tho singular fen turo to mo was that disembodied spir its should hnvo had tp do with, inn tsriiil surroundings. But n moment's thought shows this to bo probnbly ow tug to tho Imperfection of my splrltuul vision. Might I not riavo been nblo to niseorn thu spirit with an embryo spir itual eye, clothing it with uintorlal lurroundtngs with my bodily percep tions'?' Re that ns it may, tho men were, dressed nnd armed nnd moved ns UylnJT beings. But my vision was cut short in tho beginning, .Cot-..

As a result of thin movement In Washington tho public school grounds show a decided improvement. The pu pils were put to work with hoes, rnke.s and spades nnd given a school garden ing courso which Included Instruction In kinds of soil, water holding power of tho various soils, conservation of water, life processes of plants', seed sowing nnd potting: Tho deflnJto purposo of this move ment wns tho beantlfication of tho yards of tho public schools, the orna mentation of tho buildings both on In terior and exterior and also the embel lishment of tho back yards of the homes of the various boys nnd girls receiving .the Instruction nnd training. Other benefits to be considered arc the manual Training, the healthful exer cise, tho prldo of ownership, the re spect of others' rights nnd tho cultiva tion of a love for tho useful nnd beau tiful. Tlie principal of one of the Washington schools offered a half day holiday, carrying wifh It tho privilege of working to renovate tho lawns, to every boy bringing to school a spade, rake, pick, hoo or wagon. Tho responso was beyond expecta tion. In an incredibly short time tho dilapidated Inwns wcro spaded, raked, rolled and sown with grass seed, a bad washout In the tcrraco was filled nnd sodded, the plan of tho garden marked oil and Iliac nnd welgella bushes plant ed.

Obib Those who wish to know how cheap ly a municipal government can be run would do well to study the 1002 ac counts of tho little town of Whlto Pigeon, Mich. Tho treasurer of that vlllngo recently added up tho debt and credit-sides of his ledger and found thnt it cost the 800 Inhabitants of the community Just $1,321.48 for ono year's lopal government Tho White Pigeon health department cost Just $2.35 In twelve months, besides tho health ofllcer's salary of $20, Hnys tho Chicago Tribune. The White Plgeonltes got through the year with no other outlay than $2 to Oney O'Dowd for burying a sheep that died on the street nnd 35 cents to H. Miller for Interring a dog which met its de mise in the same way. Tho Whlto Pigeon police department cost only CO cents for the entire year. According to tho treasurer's report, fhls sum wns spent on n badge for tho town marshal. Tho total cost ot tho uro department Is $5 a month, besides the wenr nnd tear on the firemen's uni forms from attending rehearsals Otllclals of other towns might get a hint or t,wo from tho sources of reve nue of this thrifty tviIIago, It derives $10 from a license on the only pool ta bio in town, operated by Stickle Bros, All wandering theatrical companies nro nlso taxed $1 each on their receipts. To Aid Street CfcaalaK' Department. The street cleaning departments of mauy towns nnd cities are annoyed ami tholr work Is greatly increased by the amount of dirt that is dropped from carts haullug earth to nnd from buildlugs. Superintendent Savage, of tho street cleaning department of Kau nas City, Mo., hns prepnred an ordi nance that ho hopes will db away with this nuisance, Bays tho Municipal Journal aud Engineer, Permits will have to bo obtained from tho superin tendent of streots beforo any dirt can bo hauled. Several drivers of dirt earts have been arrested for spilling dirt oil tho streets, but as yet no ponnuiu-nt good has boon accomplished. Tho nfeu complained that their .employers over loaded tho wagons and that they had to submit or bo discharged. It 1$ pro posed to hold tho contractors equally responsible with tho drivers, nnd this can be dono under tho provisions of tho ordlnanco requiring a contractor td take out a permit before -hauling dipt. Tho permit can bp taken nwny from him if ho persists in violating the ordl bancc. Marke the XnrSUrpfyf Aboutrtho first tlillivm tri-".tvi( of n town he la en t ('!
