Very few people are expert judges

patiated on their great abilities us con-
noisseurs of wines wofully fooled by
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 arc rarely at an end,
simply pours the American wine into
a bottle having an old imported label
on and returns smilingly to his
customer. With the remark, why
didn't you bring that at lirst?" the
customer drinks the liquor and smacks

Among the individual dogs which
have earned good name in their
country's history was one which in A.
d. 1902 shared th, cares of his master,
Gen. de Melac. 40 was besieged by
the French i'm Landau. He not only
escorted his master OH every sortie.
but contrived TO ascertain all the min
ing proceedings of the besiegcrs und TO
reveal them to the general. who thus,
thanks TO the dogs sagacity, was able
again and again To ward of impend-
ing dangers.
Probably. however. no dog has ever
rendered such signal military service,
or been SO honorably recognized, US
the celebrated poodle Mustachc. 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 lionors
ut Mareng0. and was decorated on the
battlefield of Austeritz by Marshal
Lannes as reward for having rescued
his pgimental standard from an Aus
TRAN soldier when in the act Of snatch
ing il from the grasp of the standard
bearer as he fell nOrtally wounded.
The plucky poodle drove of the assail-
ant, and then scizing the tattered col
ors in his teeth. dragged them triumph
antly till he reached his own COM

Many are the incidents recorded Of
the bravery and sagacity of this prince
of roOdles. In the van of scouting
parties he detected many an Austrian
ambush. and OH at least one occasion
he drew attention to the presence of O.
disguised spy in the camp. Moreover,
to his vigilance was due the failure OF
a night attack by u body of Austrians,

Balbo the French were apparently ig-

Soldiers on Skates.

Perhaps the most curious battalion
in tho 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 arc 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 maneuvered
upon the ice or over the snow fields of
the mountains with rapidity equal
to that of the best trained cavalry.
AS an instance Of the speed they at
tanned, it is stated that q messenger
attached to the corps has accomplished
12O miles in eighteen and half hours
over a mountainous country. Boston

There is a married man in Atlanta
who wears eyeglasses with gold rim.
His wife wears eyeglasses, too. and the
two pairs are just alike. They are the
parents of three children-the young
est being 10 years of age-and each Of
tho children is nearsighted-so much
SO that they wear eyeglasses too. Five
pairs of eyeglasses in one family is
rather unusual. IL makes something
of glass house and none of the fam
lily should throw stone. ATLANTA

A Tribute to Electricity.

Electricity is servitor quite as will.
ing to enhance mans pleasures as TO
add TO his comforts. The stage has taken
on new beauty and brilliancy since
the advent Of the incandescent light.
The lightning's flash is perfectly inn
itated. the will-o'-the-wisp is faithfully
counterfeited. and such effects are pos
sible as were not dreamed of ten or live
years ago. The same subtle force
which makes the thunder cloud ma
jestic, and which rends the rocky cliffs
and splinters the oak, lends brilliancy
to the ballet and enchantment TO the
spectacular drama. In electricity man
has discovered scrvitor moro potent,
moro willing, a thousand times, than
that wonderful slave Of Aladdin's
lamp, whose powers make one of the
most fascinating tales Of the Arabian
