/ Garibaldi,


!. In Hamerton's charming book
s"Round My House." giving an account
of several years residence in the Bur-
gundy district of France. there are some
notes of conversation with one of the
Captains in the army corps which Carl
baldi led to the aid of the French Re-
public against the German invasion in
1901, that illustrates the kind of
sway which the powerful personality of
the old Italian hero eXerted over his fol-
lowers. Garibaldi had just arrived with
his command in inelement Winter
weather, at the city near which Mr..
Hamerton was living His wretched
health prevented him from exercising
much immediate personal supervision
over his troops He was rarely visible.
and, when he appeared, was obliged to
move about in acarriage. Soldiers and
officers spoke of him us ''our father"
tfand not as the General. A ACaptain said
| to Hamerton: ave have no discipline
Ewhatever; but it is our affection for our
| father, Garibaldi, that binds Us together.
| It was not for the French Republic that
we came here, but our father came and
we followed him. Look at those men
on that straw Where will they be in a
week? In the grave perhaps, or in the
hospital. Some of those fellows are
well-to-do; others have not halfpenny;
the richer ones share with their poorer
| brethren; but whatever may be the diff
! ferences of social station Or military
rank, all the Garibaldiafis feel them
selves equal in the presence of their
father, and all are equally cared for and
loved by him. Yes" he continued,
'there has been no such influence eXer-
cised over the will of men since Jesus
of Nazareth was followed by his disei-
Piles. There have been other great mil
itary leaders, but they We're worldly
men, and their followers were .actuated
by worldly motives. But our poor, dear
father, Garibaldi, pray what has he to
offer? The liberty TO follow him-the
delight of knowing that we are near
him, and shall see his face occasionally
and hear the tones of his voice calling
us his children-the pride of being his
own, his chosen, who have shared in all
his perils, and have never deserted him
to the last-these. are the only rewards
that the beloved father offers, or that his
devoted children care for"

A Wooden Leg.

An English naval officer, serving on
board the Jason frigate, under the Duke
of Clarence, had the misfortune to lose
leg in a hot engagement with the
French, and for his bravery, he was
promoted to the command of fine
ship. Within siy months of the day on
which he had donned a wooden leg
and returned to duty, he was in battle
again, and was again struck by can
non-ball in that same leg, whereupon
two stout seamell picked him up, and
called aloud for the surgeon.
NO, no, boys" the captain said glee-
fully. ''Fhe carpenter will answer this
time"
And this reminds us Of another anec-
dote, which is too good to be forgotten.
During time when an English naval
squadron was engaged in the Medlter-
ranean wag OF surgeon wrote cir
Cumstantial and critical account OF an
operation which he had successfully
performed upon the badly fractured
leg of an English seaman. He describ-
ed the fracture -compound and COM
plicated, with much shattering. When
the case was brought under his notice,
he was utterly opposed to amputation,
and conceived the idea of treating it
with fresh tarred oakum. He applied
it literally, but carefully, making it
into corded mass, and completely
swathing the fractured limb Herewith.
No other application was resorted to,
and the patient was not restricted as to
diet. He was allowed to drink his reg
ular allowance of grog, and was quar-
tered with his mess. The first appli-
cation of the "laid up" oakum was
made on Sunday afternoon, and be-
fore another Sunday had come the
man was able to walk on that leg; and
within another week, with one fresh
application, the man was reported for
duty
What an excitement the account
created at home 1t was published
first in the Gazette, and copied thence
into every paper in the kingdom. And
III time the letters began to pour in up
on the surgeon, down in the Mediter-
ranean. One old surgeon asked one
thing; and another, another thing; nj
Of them desiring further explanation;
about the wonderful case of that tract
ured leg.
The naval surgeon waited until the
letters overwhelmed him. and then hi
wrote another article for the Gazette
this time very short, in which he said
Eve beg ten thousand pardons for oul
neglect on q former occasion. Con
corning the fractured leg which W,
treated with oakum THAT form of oak
UNI vulgarly denominated spanyarn)
we forgot to state that it was woodel
leg
And then the surgeons at home wer,
all happv-very, very happy

Tyne Writing.

Any one, writes the Now York cor
respondent of the Rochester Democrat,
who reads the papers will notice the
frequent advertisements of type writ
ers, who are now becoming almost a
guild Professional type writers make
the business more profitable than any
other method of copying, and hence
there is a constant increase IN the NUM-
Der Of practitioners. They are in COM
mon use in law offices, and have be-
come so popular that they will in
such places become substitute for CT
binary penmanship. the neatness and
legibility of this method prevent mis-
takes, and this adds vastly to their val
ne. This is specially important in
matter which is intended for the print
er, in which errors might easily occur
when the copy is in writing, especially
when the latter is so often illegible.
Byron found that the works he sent in
MSS from Italy to London suffered so
much from the printer inability to de-
cipher his writing, that he had them
printed in Italy merely for the sake Of
correctness. A few copies were then
struck Of and sent to Murray merely
as copy for the London printer. What
an enormous saving could have been
made IN such All instance had the type
writer been in use Girls who are now
using the type writer find it a better
way of making living than the use of
the needle. Editors and clergymen are
also among its patrons, and insurance
companies are applying it to their i'm
mense correspondence.

Cake Baking.

When cakes are made without yeast
or eggs, soda and powder being the
substitutes, they require quick baking
in moderately hot oven, and should
be drawn directly they are done or
they get dry and tasteless For plain
cake made with one pound of -four,
ETC., the time to be allowed in baking
would be from forty to fifty minutes, at
the outside not more than one hour.
Yeast cakes take longer, say from ten
to fifteen minutes, and will bear being
left in the oven rather over the time
without much injury. Very rich cakes,
in which butter and eggs predominant,
take. of course, very much longer time
to cook, pound cake taking from an
hour and half or two hours, and
bride cake three and a half On no
account should an oven be zoo not
when the cake is to be PIT in-that is,
hot enough to brown at once; if so, IN
five minutes the whole. outside will be
burned and the interior will stand little
chance of being cooked. The old plan
of feeling the handle Of the oven door
to test the heat is rot always success
full; if at the end Of that time it is Of a
rich light brown the cake may be put
in, but if burned the heat must first be
lessened

He had Read the Papers.

He was plain old man from The
country; he wore an old-style, broad
brimmed hat, and his clothes were only
homespun but when a slick-looking
stranger stepped up to him on Vine St.,
and professed to know him, and asked
all about his wife and family, and want
ed to know when he came down, and
when he was going back, the old man
declined the profered hand, and, draw
ing back, said: That's ali right, young
man, never mind the preliminaries
git right down to business I wonce.
You've got some goods at the depot and
want to pay the freight. Hain't got
nothin' but a hundred-dollar check.
Would l hold the check and let you
have S60.43 to pay the freight? Or
p'r'aps you have just drawn a priza in
q lotter-, ard would / jes' step around
with you and git the money, or pr APPS
-" but the confidence man had slip
ped away; the granger was too well
posted, altogether. As the old man gazed
after his retreating figure, he chuckled
out, Slipped up that time, Mr.. Bunko,
I'm posted-I'ye read the papers.

Sublime Grandeur the Court and Body

dian Herald: eve regret to learn that
the animal departed this life in high

reparable disaster to the staff of the
household. One morning after hearty
breakfast he went mad quite unex-

tendants to death. To shoot him would
have been sacrilege. An attempt to
tranquilize his perturbed spirit by en-
circling him with huge ring Of holy
bamboo, especially blessed by the high
priest Of his own particular temple,
proved worse than Intellectual, for he
broke through the ring and al but ter
minated the high priests career upon

4 Kind Act Worth $50. 900 a Year.

Some thirty years ago, Mr.. Green, an
amiable Englishmsn, seeing . rather
shabby old man looking for seat in
church, opened his pew door, beckoned

BILE corner, with prayer and hymn
books. The old gentleman, who care
fully noted the name in these latter, ex-
pressed his thanks warmly at the close
Of the services. Time had etfaced the
incident from Mr.. Green's recollection,
when he one day received an intination
that by the death OF = gentleman
named Wilkinson he had become eati-
tied 70 $500 a year. Mr.. Wilkinson
was . solitary old man, without rela-
tives. Green's act prepossessed him ii

A Diamond Flush.

A gentlemen whose place Of residence
is somewhat vaguely described as ''the
Pacific Coast" has been cutting a wide
swath in New York hotel society
through the great variety and match
less brilliancy Of the diamonds which
he displays with ingenious profusion
upon his person. The women ofgen-
eral society have long been obliged to
yield precedence to the lady boarders
Of the fashionable metropolitan hotels
in the matter of diamond wearing, and
among men, since the thigh toned"
gamblers, as Guiteau would call them,
have abandoned diamond shirt studs,
hotel clerks may be said to have mo-
nopoly of this elegant and expensive
adornnent. Judge then, of the aston
ishment of the clerks of one of the
leading New York hosteleries, the other
morning, when the Pacific coaster APP
peared upon the outside of the counter
wearing fourteen diamonds, the small
est of which was larger than the larg-
est of the collection displayed on the
inside of the counter. The subordinates
sank back in awe. while the leading
day clerk. who felt his Importance
gradually sinking down almost to the
level of ordinary manhood, proceeded
to room" the stranger in the best va
cant apartment of the house, instead of
giving him the worst, in accordance
with immemorial custom. But the
discontinue of the clerks was no tri-
umph for the gentleman from Nevada.
He sighed for greater conquests, and
even beyond the Sierras he had heard
Of the lady boarders who partook of the
eleven o'clock breakfast in their most
fascinating wrappers and their most
gorgeous attire They were his game.
and precisely at eleven he appeared
upon the threshold of the breakfast
room with five thousand-doilar stud
in his shirt-front, cuff buttons of equal
value, stones of al sizes and of the first
water on his fingers, and with his long
beard carefully twisted and drawn
through an enormous cluster ring,
which, to prevent it slipping off, was
security tied in position with string.
The gentleman from the Pacific coast
walked deliberately to seat, glancing
to neither right nor left upon the ruin
which he wrought. The lady boarders
surveyed with critical and astonished
eyes this invader of their rights, and as
they reluctantly recognized the genu-
inc flash of his jewels, the knives and
forks dropped fiom their neryeless fin
gers and one by ore fed the scene.
