Sir Garnet Wolseley, England's mill
tary chieftain, was asked by an Ameri
can correspondent
What do you think are the most es-
sential qualities of a soldier and ar
army" lie replied:
esprit de corps and pride. A soldier
should be proud of his profession, and
he should have the greatest interest
and feeling for his individual command
He should be dressed well. Even
should he incline toward dandyism that
should be encouraged. The better you
dress a soldier the more highly he will
be thought of by women, and conse-
quently by himself. The Duke Of
Wellington said of his officers in Spain
that many of the best of them were the
greatest dandies. Men in the cam
paigns of the past used to pride them
selves in being slovenly. TO be I'M
shaver and dirty was supposed to be
the sign of a good officer. The spirit
runs like wildfre amongst an army
Whatever the officers think fine the
men will think so, too. 1t is very diff
ficult to make an Englishman at any
time look like soldier. lie is fond of
longish hair and uncut wh.skers. In
the field no person should wear his hair
over half an inch in length. 1t should
never be long enough to part. No man
can have smart hearing who can part
his hair. Hair is the glory of woman
but the shame of man."

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

A scar nobly got, or a noble scar, is
a good liver of honor.
No man ever worked his passage
anywhere in dead calm.
Lay by good store of patience, but
be sure to put it where you can find it.
The reproaches of enemies should
quicken us to duty, and not keep us
from it.
No man can be happy without a
friend, or be sure of friend until he
is unfortunate.
There is no folly equal to that Of
throwing away friendship in world
where friendship is so rare.
Private troubles are very much like
infants, the more you nurse them the
bigger they grow.
They that do nothing are in the
readiest way to do that which is worse
than nothing.
Act well at the moment, and you
have performed a good action to all
eternity.
Truth, like the sun, submits to be
obscured, but, like the sun, only for a
time.
He who requires much from himself
and little from Others will keep himself
from being the object of resentment.
The power of mans virtue should
not be measured by his special efforts
but by his ordinary doing.
Men of great parts are often unfor
tunate in the management of public
business, because they are apt to go ou
of the common road by the quicllnes'
of their imagination.
A man should never be ashamed t.
own he has been in the wrong, which
is but saying, in other words, that he il
wiser to-day than he was yesterday.

Balfe, the composer, was born in
1903, and very early developed an un-
mistakable talent for music. There is
a characteristic story of his childhood
preserved by his surviving relations,
and quoted by Mr.. Barrett. "He had
recently heard an orchestral band per-
form Haydn's Surprise Symphony
and his lively imagination exaggerated
the crash which Haydn introduced
upon the half-close of the first move
ment, to make, as it is said, the ladies
Jump. A simple arrangement of the
themes was one of the pianoforte les
sons he had to practice. His mother
and sisters were engaged elsewhere in
the house, when suddenly they heard a
fearf,'l crash, and, as the mother
thought, the screams of her child. In
terrified haste they rushed into the
room in which he had been at work, eX-
pecting to find the place in ruins and
the boy corpse. The mothers fright
yielded to surprise, her surprise to
anger, as she saw the child dancing
and browning with delight. In order
to make this grand crash at the proper
point of the music he had piled the
fender and fre-irons upon chair, and
had fastened cord to them all in such
a manner as to make them fall with {
clatter, and 50 realize Haydn's design
most completely.

A Misundcrsi andirg.

Why it was done, we cannot say,
but quite number of the streets OF
Austin have been named after fe-

The Austin people, or some of them,
at least, have become tolerably fami-
liar with Maria, Jane, Susan, and the
rest, but strangers are liable to be
come bewildered by this singular
nomenclature.
A gentleman from Dallas, who had
only fow hours to spend in our city
wished to take a look at the new
capital, and not knowing where 1t
was, he made inquiry of the first
man he met.
Can you tell me how l can find
the new temporary capitol?
"That's easy enough. You know
where Emma street is?"
81 do not. / have no acquaintance
with any lady Of that name. There
is family by that name in Dallas,
but I am not acquainted with them.
Does Emma Street live near the new
capitol?'
The Austin man stared at the
stranger for a moment, and then
pointing down Magnolia Avenue, he
said:
"You see where Maria comes into
the avenue?"
The Dallas man looked in the di-
rection pointed out, and perceiving a
fat old negro woman with big bas-
ket on her arm, nodded his head in us
sent.
"Well, you must take Maria until
you get to the corner Of Elizabeth, an
until Peggy and Sarah come together,
and then you will be all right
"Look here, my friend, if you think
I am that kind Of man because l
come f1om Dallas, you are most con-
foundly off. l want you to under
stand that 1 am a gentleman"
"You dod-gasted IDIOT" retorted the
Austrian man, "if l was as bad off fol

The Dallas man shook his fist at the
native and said:
"I've always heard that the Stat

Dear Hands,

The touches of her hands are like the fall
Of velvet snow fakes like the touch OF
down
The peach just brushes gainst the garden
wall;
The flossy fondlings Of the thistle wisp
Caught in the crinkle of leaf of brown
The blighting frost has turned from green
to crisp.
Soft as the falling dusk at night,
The touches of her hands, and the delight
The touches of her hand
The touches of her hands are like the dew
That falls so softly down no one e'er knew
The touch thereon save lovers like to one
Astray in lights where ranged Endymion.
Oh, rarely soft, the touches of her hands,
As drowsy zephyrs in enchanted lands;
Or pulse of dying day; or fairy signs;
Or-in between the midnight and the dawn,
When long unrest and tears and fears are
gone
Sleep, smoothing down the lids of weary
eyes.

DR.. Croll attributes the great fluct-
nations OF terrestrial climate, as dis
played by the former extension of
glaciers on one hand, and the existence
of coal seams and corals in the now
ice-bound shore of Greenland on the
other, to variations in the earth's orbit,

cycles, extending respectively over
10000, 100000 and 100000 years. l
am unable either to confirm or refute
these calculations, which may or may
not be correct, but quite outside, or
rather within, these there have been
curious fluctuations of terrestrial eli
mate hitherto unexplained. The name

this. 1t was given to that country

When Ingolf, with his retainers and

At three years old the horse should
have the central permanent nippers
growing, the other two pairs wasting,
six grinders in each jaw, above and
below, the first and fifth level, the
others and the sixth protruding. The
sharp edges of the new incisors will
be very evident, compared with the old
ecth. As the permanent nippers wear
and continue to grow a narrow portion
of the cone-shaped tooth on each other.
The mark will be wearing out and the
crowns of the teeth will be sensibly
smaller than ut two years. Between
three and half and four years the
next pair of nippers will be changed,
the central nippers will have attained
nearly their full growth, a vacuity will
be left where the second stood, and the
corner teeth will be diminished in
breadth, worn down, and the mark in
the center of the tooth will become
faint. The second pair of grinders
will be shed. At four years the central
nippers will be fully developed, the
sharp edge somewhat worn off, and
the mark somewhat wider and fainter.
The next pair will be up, but they will
be small, with mark deep and extend
ing quite across them. The corner
nippers will be larger than the inside
ones, but smaller than before and flat,
and the mark nearly effaccd. The six
grinders will have risen to a level with
the others, and the tushcs will begin
to appear. At five years the horses
mouth is almost perfect. The corner
nippers are quite up, the long, deep
mark irregular in the inside and the
other nippers will bear evident tokens
of increased wear. The tushes are
nearly grown, the sixth molar is up
and the third molar is wanting. This
last circumstance will prevent the de-
ception of attempting to pass a late
four-year-old as tive-year old. AT six
the mark on the central nippers is
worn out. At seven years the mark
, is worn out in the four central nippers
and fast wearing away in the corner
teeth. The tuShes are rouded at the
points and edges, and beginning tC
get round inside At eight years OLD
| the tushes are rounded in every way
the mark is gone from all the bottom
nippers. There is nothing remaining
