Fair Play Is q Jewel.

Our readers are, doubtless, familiar
with the anecdote which tells of the
heroic self-denial of Sir Philip Sidney,
as he lily bleeding on the field of Zut-
phen. His attendants had procured q
bottle of wine. just as the bleeding
knight was tasting it, he saw wounded
soldier carried by who cast longing
look on the wine. my poor fellow $
lthy necessity is greater than mine, said
Sidney, as he ordered the bottle to be
given him.. . 500
Brave men have not infrequently ex-
hibited a similar self-denying spirit.
The late Admiral Farragut records in
his journal one such display. It oc-
CURED in one of the naval battles of the
war of 1872, when the Essex was at
tackled by two British ships of war.
Lieut.. Cowell, of the Essex, being
badly wounded in the leg, was carried
into the cockpit, where the surgeons had
their hands full. Seeing him, one of the
doctors dropped another patient and pro.
posed to amputate the leg forthwith.
"No, doctor, none of that" answered
the gallant officer; {" fair play is a jewel.
One mans lief is as dear as another.

turn"
When his turn came, an hour or two
after, it was too late. The amputation
was performed, but the patient was too
weak to survive it.

Nothing New Under the Sun,

The puzzle of 1884 never was
copyrighted, and much compassion has
been spent on the inventor for his lack
of foresight, which lost him the profits
Of his popular toy. 49,.
But there is O. doubt as to whether he
could have taken out copyright. Some
shrewd observer has discovered in a
picture, of r." Melancholia, by Albert
Durer, in the fifteenth century, the
"gem puzzle" with the numbers from
one to sixteen arranged 80 as to count
thirty-four in twenty different ways.
So often do not only history but trifes
repeat themselves that one is sometimes
led to doubt whether there ought to be
a copyright or patent for anything as
being new under the sun. l,,,,~-.
The story Of Shylock gave rise to We
hement discussion in the Prussian Par
lament the other day. One member
asserted that the incident used by
Shakespeare really occurred in 1857, but
that it was the Christian who demanded
the pound of flesh, and not the, Jew.
Singularly enough the fact was proved
in debate that the leading idea Of the
story is found in ancient Hindoo mythol-
ogy. s,l1s,f3 40 ~ iztz. - 1.s.st =

What Has Been.

Our youthful illusions inger with us
still, to certain extent, world-worn
though we are. The friends of our
childhood stand forth boldly in our
memory. None other were half so true,
so kind, so witty, so clever. There was
that sweet young poet who might have
become second Tennyson, if only he
would have condescended to give his
music to the world, but who preferred
instead to inscribe his matchless gems
in albums and the ike-how devoutly
we believed in him how profoundly
we admired him! The other day we
turned up batch of his lucubrations,
and re-read them with the light of thirty
years in between. We found them sick
~ in tone, false in sentiment, hating in
their feet, and of impure or femin inc
rhymes. And we were foolish enough
to regret that the illusion of years had
been shattered! What boundless
wealth with his $4,000 a year had the
Crnsus of our modest villagel We
have since known men only tolerably
we'll off on 10,OOO-men who envied
their neighbors who had 500, 900, and
thought themselves poor by comparison.
The local beauty, Of our young days
would, wa ara very sure, prove herself
to have been an addressed, simpering,
milliner-like young person, could we
but see her now, with our experience of
what real, high-bred, well-dressed
beauty is; the clever young lady who
used to talk in hexameters, who con-
fessed in Latin and was suspected of
Greek, and whose learning we took to
be as deep as the sea, would turn out to
be only a voluble young blue stocking,
who foundered boldly where she could
not swim. The Hebe of our youth
would reveal herself as the hoyden of
our age; the sef-made local scientist
with his discovery Of perpetual motion,
his balloon that would not collapse, his
locomotive that was as safe as a church
he was only a poor dreamer; and the
village Hampton, whose arguments
we're so convincing, was purblind par
tisan, who never saw more than half of
any question he took up. But we see
nothing of all this. Memory has crys-
ta1lized all these forms and characters:
and wa see them by the light of youth
full i'm gination even now in the twilight
OF our decay, and. seeing them as we
thought they were, we love them for
what they never have been.

And the elephant told him to be more
explicit in his remarks when they were
discussing such an important subject.
"You aren't very much worried about
your furs." the bear retorted, are
you?"
The elephant looked little uneasy,
and backed aroSnd to hide from general
view the scanty wisp of hair at the end
of his tail:
"What have you been wearing this
winter" asked the leopard, "Eussian
sable or mink?"
you've been clipped, haven't you? ?"

"You might soak yourself in tan

'sYou ought to have good shampoo"
said the zebra, "about twice or three

The elephant freely remarked that he

MOST of the ferns found in our woods
contain more or less starch, and when
properly prepared are extremely palat-
able and nutritious, An attempt was
recently made in France to popularize
them as an article of food. The young
shoots Of the common brake fern when
exposed above the soil to the air and
sunlight become exceedingly feshy,
white and tender. A famous French
painter is known to pride himself on his
fern omelets, and the hill tribes of Japan
live on fern all the year round. In
spring they eat the tender leaflets, and
later in the season they eat the starch
extracted from the roots.

Say ssTick.v

The following example illustrates in an
amusing manner the absurdty of the
ancient rule for ''minding the stops in
reading:
A country schoolmaster, who found it
difficult to make bis pupils observe the
difference, in reading, between comma
and full point, adopted a plan which
he fattered himself would make them
profcients in the art of punctuation. 1t
was this:
In reading, when they came to COM
ma, they were to. say tick; when they
came to q semicolon, they were to say
tick, tick; to q colon, tick, tick, tick, and
when to a full point, tick, tick, tick, tick.
Now, it SO happened that the worthy
master received notice that the parish
minister was to pay visit of examination
TO his school. As he was, of course, de-
sirous that his pupils should show off to
the best advantage, he gave them an
extra drill the day before the examina-
ton. - =
: 1t.Now," said he, addressing his pupils,
"when You read before the minister to-
morrow you may leave out the ticks,
though you must think them as you 60
along, for the sake of elocution."
So far, SO good. The next day the
minister was ushered into the school
room by the master, who, with smiles
and bows, hoped that the training of the
pupils would meet his approval. IS. a.
i. Now it SO happened that the first boy
called up by the minister had been
absent the preceding day, and in the
hurry the master had forgotten to give
HIM his instructions how to read. The
minister asked the boy to read a
chapter IN the Old Testament, which he
pointed out. The boy complied, and in
his best accent began: .ssss ~ las szzs5
And the Lord spake into Moses, soy
ing tick, speak unto the children Of
Israel, saying tick, tick, tick, and thus
shalt thou say unto them, tick, tick,
tick, tick. This unfortunate exhibition
acted like 9 shower-bath on the poor
master, while the minister and his
friends almost died Of laughter. s

When Stonewau Jackson Prayed Most

A quaint story Of Stonewall Jackson's
devotion is related by ex-Confederate
Chaplain J. W. Jones. It was on the
march to Culpepper Court House that
the Generals negro servant Jim told
some officers who were inquiring about
Stonewall's habits: eyes, the General
is great man for praying at all times.
But when I see him get up great many
times in the night to pray, then I know
there is going to be Something to pay ;
and I go straight and pack his haver-

in the mornin'."
