The Duke of welIington's Umbrella.

A new biography of the Duke of
Wellington, lately published in Eng
land contains this anecdote, of the au-
thenticity of which the London
Athe41Gatm expresses doubts, as no man
ever bestowed less thought on his per-
sonal safety than Wellington did. Here
is another remarkable indication of the
good sense which told him that, where
as he had always been the butt of the
slanderer, he remained the object of
the less cowardly assassin.
An officer in the regiment quartered
in the neighborhood walked to Walmer
Castle soon after the Dukes death.
He asked his servant whether he could
spare any article, however insignifi-
cant, of the Dukes. The servant said +:
"There are lot of umbrellas in that
corner; if you like, you can have one
of them"
The officer took up one of the UNI
br.llus, and underworld to- open IL. To
his surprise, he drew out a sword. He
pointed this out to the servant, who
replied
ooh, yes, there is sword i'll every
umbrella"
This, no doubt, would have given the
Duke q chance, who walked about
London and elsewhere, absolutely un-
attended, had he been attacked.

There were two Of the men in our
gang Of Pennsylvania oil-well drillers
and blasters who were constantly fool
ing with the nitro glycerine. They
would take chances to make your hair
stand on end, and the trouble was they
imperiled the safety of many others.
One of their favorite pastimes was to
get out after MONDAY lunch, and toss
two-pound can of the stuff as far as
they could heave it. / more than once
saw them stand fifty feet apart, and on
three or four occasions saw the can
miss their clutch and fall to the earth.
Our foremen and all the other men did
great deal of swearing over this
foolishness, and once the men were
discharged for it, but they were taken
back after time, and as we grew more
used to the stuff we took more
chances.
One day the men got out with their
can, and as the fun was about to be-
gin our foreman said:
"Boys, that nonsense will be the
death of you yet"
@Bet you ten to Ave 1t wun'tp re-
piled one of them.
"Yes, and I'll bet ten to one it won't"
bluffed the other. as he shook his wal
let at the foreman.
The latter failed to cover, and as he
sauntered off down the hill followed
him. We had walked about 200 feet
when we were suddenly lifted up and
thrown fat to the earth, and then fol-
lowed a crash which seemed to have
rocked the continent. AS soon as we
could get up we ran back to the der
rick, or where the derrick was. It had
disappeared, as we'll as our shanty.
and on the site was hole into which
you could have dumped cottage.
Not the slightest scrap of the two can
tossers could be found, and the fore
man and 1 stood for several minutes
staring into the cavity. Then he sud
denly slapped his leg. waved his hand
In disgust, and growled:
"What two-story fool was not to
take those bets!"

An Awful Scheme.

1 have heard lately of a country Ii
brary which is lun on so ingenious a
principle that feel bound TO state it
for the. benefit of such of my readers
as may be concerned with similar in
situations. Though in some sense a
public library, the books are not given
ont free, small sum being charged,
SO much per day, for the use of them,
and the library is open but two days in
the week, and then only for q couple
of hours. The consequence is obvious
"a man takes out book and finishes
it perhaps on one of the off days. Then
the work is laid aside, and he never
thinks of it except on day or at an
hour when books are not received, and
the result is that books are kept out
for O week or two, at least, and cor
responding revenue accrues to the Ii
brary. The advantage of this plan is
two-fold. Few books are read always
a great point gained in public libra
ry), and for those that are read large
fee is extortcd from the reader. 1t is
superhuous to add that the books in
this library are carefully wrapped up in
brown paper, and that the person who
presides overit is eminently well Quilted
for the post Boston Post.
