A Noble Wife.

During the revolution in Poland which
followed the revolution of Thaddeus Kos.
ciusko many of the trucst and best of
the sons of that ill-fated country were
forced to flee for their lives, forsaking
home and friends. OF those who had
been most eager for the liberty of Poland,
and most bitter in the enmity against
Russia and Prussia, was Michael Sobies-
XII, whose ancestor had been King hun.
bred and fifty years before.
SObleskl had two sons in the patriot
ranks, and father and sons had been of
those who had persisted in what the Rus
slams had been pleased to term rebellion,
and price had been set upon their
heads.
The Archduke Constantine was eager
to apprehend Michael Sobieski, and
learned that the wife of the Polish hero
was at home in Cracow, and he waited
upon her.
Madam" he said, speaking politely,
for the lady was beautiful and dueenly''
II think you know where your husband
and sons are hiding?"
IL know, sir"
"1f you tell me where your husband
is your sons shall be pardoned."
And shall be safer"
"Yes, madam, I swear it. Tell me
where your husband is concealed and
both you and your sons shall be safe and
unframed"
"Then, sir" answered the noble WON.
an, rising with dignity sublime and
laying her hand upon her bosom, che
lies concealed here in the heart of his
wife-and you will have to tear this
heart out to find him."
Tyrant as he was, the Archduke ad.
mired the answer, and the spirit which
had inspired it, and deeming the good
will of such q woman worth securing he
forthwith published a pardon of the
father and sons.

Captain Eads Great Work.

The st. Louis Republican describes the
details of Capt. Eads' work at the mouth
of the Mississippi as follows: 1.-The
first thing is to cut twigs. They are then
bound into bundles called in engineering
parlance fascines.' These fascines are,
say, eight or ten feet in length and as
many inches in diameter, though OF
course their size is varied at the con-
venience of the workmen and according
to the requirements of the work. Having
been cut and properly secured the fas.
clnes are put together in the form of q
raft like timber logs, towed to the re.
quired spot, and then loaded with stones
until they sink to the bottom. This proc.
ess is repeated with successive RATS
until continuous foundation is laid the
entire length of the proposed line of Jet.
ties. The first or foundation RATS will be
from seventy-five to two hundred and
sixty feet in width, according to the
depth of water where they are sunk, the
deepest water requiring the widest RATS
AS soon as the foundation is completed in
this manner another line of willow RATS
is sunk on top of those already down, and
SO on until the surface of the water is
reached, each line Of RATS being mar
rover than the one below it, until the
topmost line will not be more than ten
feet across. BY this means channel is
created with sloping sides. the water
gradually fills up the interstices between
the twigs with sand and sediment, and in
the course of few years the structure
becomes solid wall, being in fact sub
marine levee. 1t will readily be seen that
an almost incalculable quantity of willow
twigs will be required to construct these
two long lines Of jetties the whole length
Of the South Pass, and the work of cut
ting and preparing them will furnish
employment to q great many men,"

Disrespect In the Family.

One of the dangers of home life is the
habit Of disrespect, which Is bred by ia
miliarity. People who are all beauty and
sunshine for crowd of strangers, for
whom they have not the faintest affection,
are all ugliness and gloom for their own,
by whose love they live. The pleasant
little prettlncsses of dress aud personal
adornmcnt which mark the desire to
please are put on only for the admiration
of those whose admiration goes for MOTH
ing, while the house companions are
treated only to the ragged gowns and
threadbare coats, the t0uzled hair and
stubbly beard, which, if marking the ease
and comfort Of home, mark also the indif-
ference and disrespect which do SO mitch
damage to the sweetness and delicacy of
the daily life. And what is true of the
dress is truer still of the manners and tenn
pers of home, in both of which we find too
often that want Of respect which seems to
the custom of familiarity. Parents and
to this IN the young. they allow habits
Of disrespect to be formed-rude, rough,
insolent, impaticnt-and salve over the
sore with the stereotyped excuse: "They
mean nothing by it"-which, if we look
at it Alright, is no excuse at all; for if they
do really moan nothing by it, and their dis
respects not whatit seems to be, the result
of strong anger, uncomfortable temper, but
Is merely habit, then it ought to be con-
quered without loss Of time, being merely
a manner that hurts all parties alike. But
if we analyze it we shall find that the Sc
cret of the fine manner of the upper classes
resides in the dignified respect they not
only demand for themselves but pay to
others. A high-bred person, angry, does
not brawl and scold like fish-wife, and
the steel with which one Of the "supcrior
people" wounds his opponent is polished,
keen, deadly, if you will, but not brutal.
Perhaps if we could get it firmly implant-
ed as an article of belief that disrespect is
an objectionable vulgarity we should be
quicker to mend our ways and to pay the
tribute We all claim for ourselves as our
inalienable due from others, as also their
inherited and inalienable right.-The
Golden Age,

Military Affairs In China.

An interesting report on military and
naval affairs in China has been published
at Berlin by an officer of the German cor
vctte Ariadne, which has just returned
from cruise in the China seas. Three
large forts are being built at the mouth of
the Swallow River; they are to be armed
with Krupp guns, of which a great num-
Der have already been imported into the
country. Great activity prevails in the
arsenal at Canton, where about 800 work
men are employed in manufacturing fire.
arms. These are chiefly huge rifles on
the Enfield system, about two metres and
half long, each of which requires three
men to attend to it. Gun-carriages are
also being made for long fifteen ccntimetre
coil-guns. The officers observed 4 great
want Of coal and other naval material.
On touching at Annoy, opposite the island
of FOrmOsa, he was informed that several
desperate encounters had taken place be-
tween the Chinese and the natives, and
that the former had been so unsuccessful
In THOR efforts to snhdne the FormOsans
that force of about 10 900 Chinese troops
bad been assembled in the southern part
Of the island to complete its subjugation.
This, however, will probably turn out to
be difficult task, for the Chinese troops
are badly organized and equipped. Large
masses of troops were also assembled in
a camp near the harbor of Annoy. Three
thousand Of these were regulars, and
1000 more were scattered about in the
vicinity. The camp was behind granite
wall, ABOUT two English miles long and
twelve feet high, which was fortified dur
ing tho complications with Japan by q
few small forts. These forts are so badly
AIMED and built that they are incapable
of resisting not only rifed artillery but
even wind and weather. The arms con-
sisted of smooth bore muskets, and the
soldiers did not seem to know how to use
them, and showed a preference for the
national halberds and spears

The Laws Of Crowds.

The Springfield (Mass.) Republ;cnn
thinks experience has furnished material
enough from which just few of the laws
that govern human beings under panic
may be formalized. Its axioms are worthy
of consideration in every locality where
crowds are liable to congregate:
l. 1t don't take big crowd to choke q
narrow passage. A hundred people will
do it as we'll as thousand.
2. When people are piled en- mosss in a
passage and the building is afire there
will DC more corpses taken out of the pile
than living beings. Human beings die
quick under those circumstances.
3. 1t doesn't take big crowd to block a
door that opens inward so snug that there
is nomore passage than there is through a
brick wall. The strength of frcnzied men
and women avails nothing against door.
4. 1t is the exits which arc in constant
use by the whole body of the public which
are of use at such times. No others are of
use at such times. No others are of prac-
tically much consequence. Back passages
and private entrances might almost as we'll
not be. The frantic do not know of them
and cannot be taught them in this world.
b. The barrenest and safest places may
be converted into tindcr-boxes by very
trivial circumstances. Churches which
are safe enough commonly may be deco
GRATED murderously. Even our barren
City Hall was converted, not long ago,
into wilderness Of painted canvas and
f1aring lights, miniature city, among
which circulated many hundreds of peo-
pie. 1t was death-trap. A hall or a
church which may be safe with stove
may become death,trap by the introduce
ton of furnace under the stairways.
6. "Prcsence of mind" may as we'll be
counted out as saving element. We can
make over our churches, we can't make
over men or women; it is pretty evident
by this time that we can't make men and
women to fit the churches and be sure OF
their surviving the process.
