The Poodle Mustache.

Among the individual dogs which
have earned good name in their
country's history was one which in A.
ID. 1702 shared the cares of his master,
Gen. de Melac, who was besieged by
the French in Landau. He not only
escorted his master on every sortie,
but contrived to ascertain all the min
ing proceedings of the besiegers and to
reveal them to the general who thus,
thanks to the dogs sagacity, was able
again and again to ward off impend-
ing dangers
Probably, however, no dog has ever
rendered such signal military service,
or been so honorably recognized, as
the celebrated poodle Mustache, who
shared the victorious fortunes of the
French army through most of the
wars of the consulate and of the
French empire. He won special honors
at Marengo, and was decorated on the
battlefield of Austerlitz by Marshal
Lannes as a reward for having rescued
his regimental standard from an Aus
trian soldier when in the act of snatch
ing it from the grasp of the standard
bearer as he fell MORALLY wounded.
The plucky poodle drove off the assail-
ant, and then Selling the tattered col
ors in his teeth, dragged them triumph
antly till he reached his own COM
pany.
Many are the incidents recorded of
the bravery and sagacity of this prince
of poodles. In the van of scouting
parties he detected many an Austrian
ambush and on at least ono occaSion
he drew attention to the presence of a
disguised spy in the camp. Moreover,
to his vigilance was due the failure of
night attack by body of Austrians,
of whose vicinity in the Valley of
Balbo the French were apparently ig-
norant.-Vinton's Gazette.

Soldiers on Skates,

Perhaps the most curious battalion
in the army is the Norwegian corps of
skaters These corps are composed of
picked armed men with rifles, which
they use with great precision. The
skates used are admirably adapted for
travelling over rough and broken ice
and frozen snow, being six inches
broad and between nine and ten inches
long The soldiers can be Unanswered
upon the ice or over the snow fields of
the mountains with a rapidity equal
to that of the best trained cavalry.
As an instance of the speed they at,

over mountainous country. Boston

Where They Burn Water.

This burning of water is curious
thing. When l went to England,
many years ago, perfect novice in
matters relating to combustion of fuel,
and saw the fremen and engineers
pouring bucketfuls of water on their
coal heaps just before shoveling the
coal on to their fires, l at once told
them that they were doing a very
foolish thing, for it took lot of heat
to drive off the water before the coal
would burn. But when they told me
that it was a matter that did not admit
of an argument, as they had proved
that they had got much hotter fires
when they wet their coal than when
they put it on dry, l was completely
nonplused and when with my
''stoker' fed the furnaces with tan
bark, etc, so wet that the water ran
out of the hoppers, | believed the fire
men were right. -Manufacturers Ga

Uneducated Palates,

Very few people are expert Judges
of wine. | have seen people who ex-
patiated on their great abilities as con-
noisseurs of wines wofully fooled by a
very simple trick. It's this. An order
would be given at the table for an i'm
ported wine. An American wine
would be brought to the person, when
he would make a loud complaint and
refuse to take it and order it to be
taken back The barkeeper, whose
wits in such cases are rarely at an end,
simply pours the American wine into
bottle having an old imported label
on and returns smilingly to his
customer With the remark, why
didn't you bring that at frsti" the
customer drinks the liquor and smacks
his lips with an artistic air of an ex-
pert who drinks only imported brands.
His uneducated palate had been fooled
by the label.-St. Louis Globe Demo

sad that they will soon be men

a few years until the boy who on
Monday morning, dropped balls,
