skob eIeG,s Semitic Sentinel.
chicago Tribune

There are great number of anec-
dotes about Gen. Skobeleff which have
become legendary in the Russian army,
and there are much greater number
about the Russian Jews which circulate
through all classes of Russian society
The following story, which is of interest
both for tho admirers of the "White
General and the haters of the Russian
Jew, was revived when Prince Bismarck,
as a sign of special distinction, received
the cross Pour 10 Merite. Skobeleff, so
goes the story, was working one evening
in his tent near the Danube, or near a
pond, when Turkish bomb dropped at
the threshold of the tent. The general
had just time to see the sentinel outside
stoop down and phlegmatically throw
the she'll into the water.
Skobeleff approached the soldier and
said, "Do you know that you have
saved my lifef' ~ have done my best,
general VERY well; which would
you rather have, che st. Georges cross,
or 100 rublesa' The sentinel was Jew,
with fine Semitic profile. He hssi-
tated a moment and then said: "What
is tho value Of the st. Georges cross, my
generaG' What do you meant The
cross itseli is Of no value; it may be
worth 5 rubles perhaps; but it is an
honor to possess It. well, my gen.
eral," calmly said the soldier, ''if it is
like that, give me 95 rubles and the
cross Of s. George"

Norway ana Ess Needs.

Norway impresses one as a country
that has Just been discovered, instead
of as land Of such ripe civilization that
half century before Columbus.
Monuments, castles, ruins, buildings,
hoary or memorable it has none. Sweden
seems much more ancient Norway
appears to yield nothing but mountains,
valleys and fjords, the latter as narrow
as the valleys and as deep as the noun
tains are high. The people seem so con-
tent with the mountains, valleys and
fjords that they press no further claim
on coGn try so lavish in these.
The land is very thinly settled AMI
scarcely cultivated at all; farming has :
very limited Specification, and the farm
houses are far from idyllic. They have
no well stocked barn, larder, or what
people with our ideas would call dairy;
the milk often has queer taste, the
butter is bad and the cheese is worse; the
pretty and frightfully dirty children are
to be pitied, having no pantry to go to
VITA cookies and ginger snaps and pies
and preservts. aNhe poorest farmer in
the United States IAN have cabbages and
turnips and pun pkins and corn; here,
the comparatively well-to-do country
man must content himself with flat
bread, milk and the abominable cheese,
fish and the poorest kind of meat. This
is not the fsult of the soil, however. 1t
is because the Norwegian peasant rather
despises vegetables from his scant knowl-
edge of them. If ten kinds of vegeta-
bles, including asparagus, and seven
kinds of berries viii grow in Tromso,
at nearly so degrees north latitude, this
is proof evident that they would grow
further south, if the natives would but
make the attempt to cultivate them,
devoutly wish that few skillful
Americans would come here and do
missionary work by planting large gar
dens and raising vegetables and fruit
for the market and to provide for the
hotels. A supply of the best American
garden seeds would be an inestimable
blessing and colony Of Miss Par
loas and Marion Harlands would win the
benedictions and thanks Of the whole
grateful world of tourist, if they would

Mrs. Burnett's Well.Trained Boys
Washington letter.

Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett,
the well-known authoress, has
craze for the picturesque which extends
not only to her inanimate sur
roundings, but to her two boys.
A lady who has recently paid Mrs
Burnett long visit is the authority for
the statement that they are very hand
some boys. Their proud mother is quite
aware of their beauty by keeping them
dressed in most becoming fashion.
She taught them to pose in an artistic
manner. If the bell rings and visitor
is announced, Mrs. Burnett turns to her
sons and says: take your positions. "
Immediately the well trained boys fall
into the poses best suited to their dress
and beauty. The older one will lean his
elbow on the corner of the mantelpiece
and rest his head upon his shapely
hand, while the younger will stretch
himself in graceful attitude on the
heavy fur rug in front of the fire.
The visitor enters and cannot fail to
be struck by the picturesque beauty of
the scene and goes away, her mind full
of admiration for her friends children,
and feels almost ashamed OF the general
roughness of her own boys at home,
whom she is much more likely to find
gliding down the banisters, sitting on
the fence or playing ball than in poses
which would gladden. an artists heart
OF course the attitudes given above are
only those for winter use For summer
an entirely different set prevails, but
they are all quite as effective, and, in
deed, they are the pride of Mrs. Bar-
nett's heart. What the result Of this
novel mode of educh.a on will be is
question which agitates nany Of the
writer's friends, but they will soon have
the opportunity of seeing, for boy
who can lean an elbow on the mantel-
piece cannot be so very small.

CRUISING ON THE RAIL.

New York Sun. I


New York SUM-
A good-natured and laxative con-
ductor on the Pennsylvania road leaned
against the stove in the smoking car of
an incoming train Tia other day, and
remarked to a passenger who smoked
near him: you have no idea how rail-
reading grows on man. The more
you railroad the more you want to.
Any other life seems as fiat as dishwater
Compared to it, and from the way that
: Things are advancing in railroading it

joyed. Just now the great scheme is to

talk about going off in steam yacht.
Why, it can't be compared to yachting
on a railroad.
What do you meang"
why, a man can go yachting over
the American continent with more com
fort and pleasure than he can over the
Atlantic ocean. 1t will cost him good
deal of money, but not as much as it
will to run big yacht, and he will have
no end of fun. Fogs will not affect him;
he can live like prince on the fat of
the land, and just drift from one place
TO another. The only cost will be for
mileage over the roads and the sal
aries of the engineer, fireman, conduc-
tors, cook, brakeman, and attendants.
He can have any sort of an engine he
wants. 1t can be gold plated from
stem to stern, and have an alabaster
bust of Venus on the cowcatcher if he
is willing to pay for it. He can buy his
own engine and car, or he can own his
car alone and hire an engine on each
division as he goes over the railroad
system of the country. If were going
to travel and had the money, | would
do it up in the proper style.
There are a great many men, you
know, who have their own cars. They
hitch them to the tail-end of express
trains and go about from one watering
place to another, or off on little picnics
with parties of friends. Actors and &C

this way than to live at hotels. ] saw

come back to almost the same condi-
tons that characterized their great
