Absence OF Mind.

In his Voyage autour de ma Cho1abre. De
Maistre discusses the very curious pheno-
menon OF the independence of the naind
IND cody. He tells us how, in fit of alb
'ent- mlndedness, he often drew on his
'tocAIng wrong side out, and had to be
semlHced by his invaluable servant JOAN
lettl OF his mistake. Many readers will
;sll to mind experiences of their own of a
similar nature. 1t seems quite common
70 put ones watch-key to ones ear to as
certain Ii it is going; and many people are
IN the habit of winding their watches, and
thFee minutes later pausing to wonder
whether they have done so or not.
Who has not heard of the philosopher
VINO boiled his watch while he calmly held
the egg in his hand to note the time! Or
OF the equally erudite man of science, who
having peeled the apple threw the apple
itself over a cliff, and then discovered
that the rind alone remained!
Another Individual had the habit--not
such very uncommon one-of forgetting
his own name at awkward moments. One
day no presented himself at the post office
for letters, when, much to his disgust, he
could not think of his own name. He
turned sadly homeward, raking his brains
in a vain endeavor to discover who he was.
suddenly friend accosted him: "How
are you, Mr.. Brown" Brown. Brown
have it ~ cried the absent-minded one:
ana leaving his astonished friend. he
rushed back to the post Office to get his
letters.
Sometimes absence of mind produces
very ludlcrous effects. Harry Lorrequer's
appearance on parade in the character of
Othello is well known. A somewhat SIM
liar occurrence in real life happened not
long ago. A student on leaving his rooms
one afternoon to take stroll in the fash
ionable street in a university town, sud-
denly remembered that his fire needed
Goals, and returned to replenish it. On
Issuing from his lodging the second time,
he was surprised to see people looking at
him with an amused smile. Presently.
some ragamufins at street corner began
to make audible remarks. On looking
down, he discovered, to his horror, that
he was serenely carrying the tire-tongs in
place of his umbrella.
One day an English servant wrote Two
letters, one to business house in London
the other to friend in Paris. In stamp-
ing them at the post office, he placed che
penny stamp on the letter for Paris, and
the other on the business letter Remark
ing TO the post-office clerk that he would
correct the error, he changed the address,
es 1t was not till after he had posted the
letters that he understood why the clerk
had not been more impressed with his
brilliant idea.

Around the World in less than Eighty
DAYS.

! Rufus Mallory, who returned a few
days since from trip around the world,
was interviewed by Standard reporter,
to whom he furnished the following synop-
sis of his voyage He LETT Portland May
81, and sailed from San Francisco on the
steamer Oceanic, June 9th, arriving va
kohama on the 25th. Spent few DAYS
| there, and visited Toxic. the capital of the
Japanese Empire. From Yokohama he
went to Shanghai. .on the way touching
at Kobe and Nagasaki. From Shanghai
he went by way of Hong Kong to Singa-
pore. to visit which place was the object
of his journey.
Finding that he would make the trip
| home more quickly by going ahead than
| by turning back, he took passage on a
| French steamed from Singapore to Naples.
The steamer called at Colombo. where
''balmy breezes blow softly DER Ceylon g
lsle," and then at Alden, in Arabia, then
at Suez, and through the Suez canal to
Fort Said. and across the Mediterranean
to Naples. He passed Ismailia the dav
the battle was fought near by, but did not
take hand. He had intended to cross
Egypt, and take look at the Pyramids
and Sphinx, but Arab Pasha had all the
| rolling stock of the railroad corralled. so
| he went straight to Naples, arriving there
August 81.
During the time spent in Italy he as
cended Vesuvius, visited Pompeii and
Herculaneum, and stayed several days at
| Rome. From the Eternal City he went
| to Pisa, as everybody does, to see the lean
/ ing tower. and after viewing the landscape
| from the top of it, went to Venice and
stood upon the Bridge of Signs, and had a
sail in gondola; thence passed on to
Florence, and thence to Milan and over
the Alps by the pass of st. Gothard, pre-
ferrlng the route to going through the
tunnel.
He next visited Metz, and thence to
Paris and on to London. Spent ten days
in that immense city, and saw as much of
it as was possible in that time, From
London to Liverpool and thence home is
an everyday trip. The steamer Alaska,
on which he took passage from Liverpool
to New York, was no everyday affs
however, as her rate of speed was from
four hundred and twenty-five to four hun
dred and thirty-five miles per day,
From reading Jules Verne one is led to
suppose that it is a great feat to 90 around
the world in eighty days, but the time
spent by Mr.. Mallory in actual travel was
less than that, and he is confident that he
can make the trip in seventy davs.-Port
land Standard.

Over the Sea.

Over the sea in a sunny land
Some one is thinking OF me.
He hears the surf on a shore of sand,
The snow is falling over on me.
Over the sea, over the sea,
Surely he's thinking Of me.
Over the sea where the palm trees bend
And lilies nod in the sun.
Lives there no one who is nearer than friend
My greatly beloved" one,
Over the sea- over the sea,
To-days he's thinking of me.
Over the sea till the roses come;
Then back he will speed me-
To bear me queen to his island home
To our home beyond the sea.
Over the sea, over the sea,
To-day he is loving me.

COLORs IN UNIFORMS.
The Beautiful Gray and Why it is
WoPn-The Bows in Blue.

The Beautiful Gray and Why it is
Worn-The Boys in Blue.
Gray appears to be the favorite color
with miltiamen, especially from the
smaller cities. The larger towns, except
Savannah, have a prediction for blues,
the darker shade being used tor coats and
the deep sky blue for pants.
The miitiamen of the North and North
west use the gray almost entirely, and
nave done 50 for years. Wondering why
this color was so commonly chosen, a
reporter asked the question OF the various
commands, and was surprised to learn
that the general reason was that the gray
did not snow dirt so easily as the other
cOlOrs. ''Wby, sir, you can roll about
upon the dirty grass in one of these uni
forms and it doesn't seem TO soil it IN the
least" The blue-uniformed boys SAID
they wore that color because they thought
it far more neat, dressy and stylish, land
you know" said one. that when we
militia chaps go out TO suppress riots and
such we wear the fatigue uniform, and
gray is all right for that"
Yes" said another, and you just
watch two fellows, one in gray and the
other In the fancy cOlors and see when
they meet some pretty girl how much
more attractive the fellow with the styl-
ish eolored outfit will be to her. | tell
you style catches the eyes of the fair ones
every time"
This was certainly practical and hon
estly mashO-philOsO phical soldier lad, for
style and color do tell with the fair sex,
and the city bellies are a tri1e more aes-
thetic ia their fancies than the country
lasses.
But when you add to the gray suit the
white helmet with colored plume, bets
will be even on the popularity of the
cOlors and their effect on the optic nerves
OF tue fair ones.
There is something peculiar in the eff
feet of red c0l0rs upon the emotions OF
both animals and men. 1t seems to arouse
the passions and excite in the individual
desire to attack the sanguinariously
clothed object.
An old British officer said that he had
frequently observed that it was much
easier TO induce the troops to attack gau-
dily-dressed opponents than those In quiet
cOlOrs. But this is not a discussion on
color, and we only pause TO say that it
has been our reuOrtonal experience that
red-nosed men indulge in knock-dOwn a.
guments more frequently than blonde
nOsed individuals Ike himself.
The variations in the gray uniforms
consist mainly in the color of the trim
ming. In some, the chevrons are white
and the stripe on the pants deep black,
the skirts OF the coats being plain. The
gray caps generally have the black band
about the base, but the aesthetic nerve OF
the scribe is better harmOnized by the
plain gray caps without ornament, save
the company initials IN front.
