One Of the most valuable lessons to be
learned in any course of education is
that Of exact conformity to rule. The
half-educatsd person is apt to be
slovenly one; he acts on the supposition
that work imperfectly done will 'do
we'll enough"
A laborer in shipyard was one day
given a two-foot rnle 10 measure piece
OF iron plate. Not being accustomed to
the use of the rule, he returned it, after
wasting 9 good deal Of time.
=, : Well, Mike, asked his superior Off
Ger, what is the size Of the plate?"
WE'LL" replied Mike, with the smile
which accompanies the duty performed,

FINDING THE MONE1s
One of the judicial customs of Russia
in the first part of our century was. &C.
cording to Alexander Verestchagin's
"At Home in the War;" a system of
corporal punishment legally admins
tered. For example: If q landed pro-
prietor found it necessary to punish his
servants or peasants, he sent the cul-
prit with note to the district Judge,
and the matter was attended to forth
with. A serf having arrived from dis
lance to pay the yearly sum of money
due from him and his fellows, declares
that they can pay only small portion
of it. The judge speedily appears.
"Who are you? The Olkhoff over
seer?" he asks, Overwhelmingly, when left
alone with the serf.
Exactly so, my benefactor," replies
the latter, dolefully, and bows to the
Judges belt.
"You will be pleased to pay the
money at once, or you will be thrashed
on the spot.
Dear sir, have mercy!" howls the
peasant, and falls at his feet. sAs you
please, dear sir, but there is no more
money"
"Hey, there, policeman shouts the
Judge, opening door, The policeman
makes his appearance. where's the
porter? Drag him up-stairs!" and he
points to the overseer, who is still wal
lowing about at his feet.
Dear sir, have mercy! A little can
be found"
"A what? Now you sing another
song!"
The overseer draws from his breast
rag knotted into parcel, unties it, and
hands forth one bank-bill.
well, this is little indeed! Why
are you trying to impose upon me?
Take him off upstairs"
MY own father, my benefactor, dear
sir, if you were to kill me, I haven't
kopec more!"
The porter appears, to assist the po-
liceman.
Haul him upstairs, children, and I'll
be there directly!" shouts the Judge.
They drag the overseer out, and lead
him upstairs, while he cries, Dear
sirs, benefactors, if you were to kill me,
haven't another kopeck!!"
After few blows from the switches,
he begins to shout, "Stay, orthodox
believers, there is trife more!"
"Well, stop my brave fellows. Show
is what more you have" orders the
Judge. The overseer takes off one of
MS shoes and extracts from it another
rifle.
whats that, nonsense! Throw him
Town again, children"
This process is repeated five or six
Zines. The same mode of extracting
;he rent everywhere prevailed. ALI
lay long overseers were brought to the
Judge, and skrieks, resounded.
Stop my own fathers, stop! There

Bud Hart, as he was called by his
friends, used to be oneof the boys when
Birmingham, Ala, was called the Lead
vile of she South. Bud was always
kard-up, and found itno easy matter to
keep himself staked.
One night while in a. card-room dead
broke, Hart was approached by a
stranger, who said to him;
"There will be fellow I'D here 80
night with $500 OF $500 in his pocket,
and l ana going to do my best to get the
money. want you toahop IN to keep
the game going. Here's $40 to
start With, and I'll see that you are kept
staked"
In q little while 'the. fellow with the
$500 Or 500" came in, and Hart at once
made his acquaintance.
The second stranger said to Hart in
an, undertone:
The fellow I'm going to play with
has several hundred dollars which 1 am
after; and l will keep you staked if you
will play with U.S."
The three-handed: game was soon
under way, and the two strangers played
for each other for all they were worth.
Hart always went out when they both
stayed in.
Each of the strangers, when they
played against Hart, allowed him to win
the pot without showing their hands.
This thing kept up all night, Hart keep
ing his pile of money out of sight.
Seven o'clock next morning both of the
strangers were nearly broke and stopped
playing. Hart had nearly $1,000 in his
pockets. A long time afterwards he told
the story.-.4tln71jet Journal.

RAILROAD STATIONS IN GERMANY
The railroad stations all over Ger
many are models of convenience and
pretension. The smallest local train on
a German railway receives q degree o1
consideration and honor that would
stagger the engineers of the Chicago
limited. The railroads are run entirely
by the Government, and everything con-
nected with them shows the impress OF
military rule. A. letter from Berlin
Says:
The stations are surrounded by small
parks, in which there are fountains,
flowers, and artisticall y-arranged hedges.
The station building is often the most
pretentious one in the town, and there
Is usually attached to it a large restau-
rant with several walters in the conven-
tlonal claw-hammer coats. Broad walks
made OF granite and marble and relieved
from monotony by designs in mosaic
stretch along on either side, and there
is an air of spick snd span brightness
about everything in sight. As the train
draws into the station the walters stand
in an orderly row at the entrance to the
dining-room. They have all been SOL
diers-every man in Germany has
served a number of years in the army,
and they stand in a military attitude
with their hands at their sides and their
chins up. Directly in front OF the main
entrance stands the captain Of the sta
ton. His rank is indicated by red
cap. His uniform is exceedingly, snowy,
and often bloomington the mer as
rule are stalwart and we'll formed. He
wears high-heeled boots, dark-blue
trousers, relieved by red stripe,
donbled-breasted military frock coat,
with gold belt. and rows of brass bat
tons. Ranged behind are the guards,
who are also in Uniform, but whose CAPS,
are dark blue. After the train comes
to halt, the chief guard jumps to the
ground and salutes the station master.
Then TIE other men step forward, and
the work OF reading and unloading the
train goes ON with conventional leu
tonic stoldity- 1t is the duty Of one Of
the guards to walk along tie train and
rub all the dust from the door handles
and other brass work, so that in the
course of the journey the metal be-
comes brilliantly polished. When the
train is ready for departure the
guards salute the station MASTER again,
md he takes d WHISTLE from his belt and
slows it twice. Upon this another
guard, who is stationed at the, further
end Of the platform, rings a huge bell
three times, and then, with another sa-
ute by way ofeourtesy, the train moves
'n its way. This is only an Indication
If the military spirit which pervades
Germany in every direction.
