to sleep in IA stare-rOOm. the window To
which was projected by a screen. He
had scarcely fallen asleep when he was
awakened by sense of suffocution-the
mosquitoes had thrOnged the screen and

had excluded every particle of air. He
frantiCally kicked out the screen and now

VereSchagin, the distinguished Russian
painter, in tho course of some "reminiscences
of his friend Skobeleff, notes that the general
was very superstitious. Skobeleff had made
him present Of the flag under which he had
gained twenty-five victories. 1t was made of
red silk, with yellow cross embroidered in
the middle, and it was torn by many bullets.
On leaving for his last Turkestan expedition,
Skobelef remembered the flag and asked his
friend either to give it back to him or to send
him another in exchange. Madame Veres-
chagin made an elaborate new flag, which
was greatly admired on its arrival in the
camp both by the general and his men. But
SkObelelf was just then unsuccessful The
enemy made a sOrtie from Geek Tepe, took
number of arms, q cannon and a flag SkO-
belief was in despair Give me the old flag
back; the new one is unlucky' he wrote to
Inc. gave nothing back. Another soItie,
another defeat, anl considerable losses. An
other appeal: Give back, give back my lucky
flag; take the one away which has no luck
Still did not give it back. Finally, Cock
Tepe was taken, large numbers Of the enemy
were killed, and an abundance of arms and
baggage fell into the triumphant generals
hands Ny flag reSained its favor. Skobeleff
and his Turkomans were never tired of adj
miring it. To-day this lucky flag rests on
the tomb of the general "-Exchange.

down upon that shark His eyes had the
gleam of an infuriated bulldog, and his
wicked mouth seemed to water for meat.
His grit was up, and as we attempted to
lift his head up out of the water TO shoot
him, he swerved and fastened his teeth in
the rudder and hung there while the fish
erman prodded him six or seven times
with lance. When he finally let go two
of his teeth remained in the hard oak, and
a handful Of splinters tioated out Of his
mouth. He ran Off thirty feet before we
could check him. and then he came
straight back, churning the water to
foam, and passed under the boat. Had it
been a skiT or sink boat he would have
upset her. We felt him fasten his teeth
10 the center and shake us, and he gave
the planks some blows which would have
shattered anything of lighter weight.

inches, but at least one-third of him was
