Anglclalania in New York.

Certainly there is fresh outbreak
of Anglomania in the speech of modish
New York girls, says "a letter from
Gotham to the Pittsburg Dispatch. The
new influx of actors and actresses from
London has caused it. The worst
symptom is frightening and broad
ening of the letter A.

rescued with little FISK to themselves.
By chance he cast his eyes to the
summit of the cliff, and ia an instant
he saw a means by which he thought
he might compass the destruction OF
the Indians.
A huge boWlder, which hung above
the very spot where they were huddled
together about the fire. looked as
though very slight effort would send
it crashing down upon them.
His wife and child were so far re-
moved FROM the spot that they would
be in no danger.
Hastily he decided to test the plan
suggested; and, retracing his steps a
little. he clambered to the summit of
the cliff. Approaching,the bowlder, he
glanced below.
The savages were in the same posi-
ton he had left them. Could he but
send it down upon their heads there
was no chance for.o of them to es-
cape.
Laying down hisrife he brought all
his strength to bear upon the rock,
which was so nicely balanced that it
moved slowly from its bed.
Straining every nerve he finally sent
tito the edge. and then, as though pos
sessed of life. it bounded, over and went
crashing down upon the doomed saw
ages below.
There was no time for a~sound to es-
cape their lips, but wild, startled cry
came from those of the captive wife.
With joyful shout Luke answered it
and then hastily descended,to her side.
He cast a single glance in passing at
the spot where the bowlder lay and saw
that it had done its work well-every
one of the savages had been, crushed to
death.
With heartfelt joy Luke set his wife
at liberty and then without loss of time
they started for their cabin, which the
redskins had spared from the flames.
The cliff was called the Death Rock,
and that name it bears to this day

Origin Of Finger-Rings.

Nobody seems to be able ito tell .ex-
actly when tinger-rings were worn
first, said a dealer to a reporter re-
Gently. THE wearing of fnger-rings
has been almost universal, and the Gus
tom began at very early period of the
worlds history Some traditions say
that Tubal Cain was the first one to
decorate his fingers with dainty piece
of metal. The old Latin legend, speak
ing OF the wedding-ring, says: The
form of the ring being cireular-that
is to say round and without end-im-
parted this much, that mutual love; and
hearty affection should roundly flow
from one to the other, as in the circle,
and that continually and forever.
The first authentic reference to fin
ger-rings occurs in the Old Testament,
where Judah's signet ring is mentioned.
1t is also evident they were in use
among the Egyptians at that time for
Pharoah is said to have taken the ring
from his own finger and put it on
Joseph's hand when he made him ruler
over Egypt.
The Egyptians were evidently very
fond of rings, for the hands of female
mummies that have been found have
been profusely decorated with rings.
many of them having very costly ones
on every finger. The poorer class seem
TO have worn rings, too, butof cheaper
material, such as bronze, glass and
pottery. The ancient sChaldeans and
Parsians used to wear rings.
ain those days rings seem to have
bean worn not SO much for ornaments
as, Ser practical purposes. They were
used for sealing. The Romans used to
wear, signet rings of iron, and every

bassasors in the early days used to
wear gold rings as part.of their Off

The swiftest Running Animal.

in arecent number of the Sun I saw
"a statement that the greyhound is
probably the swiftest quadruped. But
there is an animal on the Colorado
plains which is much swifter. It is the
small red prairie fox, commonly known
as ':the swift" A good greyhound
will pull down two or three from a
bunch of antelopes, but the swift es-
,capes readily from him. In the chase
the fox will stop still, and then easily
distance him, and repeat the same
maneuver. 1t does not jump like a
hound, butiruns with a peculiar glid-
ing motion. Its legs are of medium
length and muscular.
,Qn.one occasion one escaped from a
box trap, by the side of which I was
standing. Near me was shepherd
dog, who was good enough runner to
pick up a jack rabbit occasionally
The dog jumped for the fox as the lat
ter came out. of the trap, yet at dis
tance of $50 feet the fox stopped still
and waited for the dog.
In regard to jack rabbits; they are
not SO swift as generally supposed
Their progress is by tremendous
Jumps. | have measured twenty-four
feet in the snow, in straight line be-
tween successive footprints, and the
animal was going up hill, too. But in
these flights they lose time, and the
hound, wolf, and fox, whose feet strike
the ground more constantly, will read
lily overtake them.
These facts are from my own expe-
renee, and may be relied upon Val

SHERIDAN AT WEST POINT.
ADisobedient Student Who Was Given One
More Chance

1t is good to give the bad boys an
other chance, says the Youths Connpan-
ION. Gen. Sheridan, when he was a
fence so fragrant against the discipline
Of the school that he afterWard thought
himself that it, ought not to have been
forgiven, On parade,on day his ser
geant, who was also cadet, ordered
him to dress that lis, to stand in
line with the rest of the company.
1t was a proper order, and young
Sheridan, who had a very fiery temper,
took exception to the tone in which it
was given, and in fact was SO ineensed
at it that he rushed toward the SER
geant with his bayonetsin his hand, in
tending to assault him. fortunately,
before he could accomplish his purpose
his reason regained the upper hand and
the returned to his. place.
The sergeant reported the ofense, a
proceeding which inf1amed Sheridan's
wrath anew, ard the next time he met
the sergeant he flew at him with his
fists. They fought until they were sep
arated by an officer.
Here was fearful breach of military
academies would have been punished
by dismissal. But the officers, lenient
toward the earnest student of 20 years
-''too lenient," he thought instead
sof ,expelling him gave him another
chance by rusticating him for year.
But for this the services of Sheridan
would have been lost to the country
during the late war, when his peculiar
and very great talents were ofinestima-
BILE value.
His experience at,West Point did not
lessen his sense of the necessity of dis
cipline. He knew when to forgive Of
tenders and when to enforce military
law. In his Memoirs he tells us what
he did with four officers who displayed
criminal cowardice at the battle of
Stone river:
When their guilt was clearly estab-
lished, and as soon as an opportunity
occurred, caused the whole division
to be formed in hollow square. closed
in mass, and had the four officers
marched to the center, where, telling
them that I would not humiliate any
army officer or soldier by requiring
him to touch their disgraceful swords,
l. COulpelleu GHem 10 OcEtVer Cue1TS
up to my colored servant, who also
cut from their coats every insignia of
rank.
Then, after there had been read to
the command an order from army
headquarters Diminishing the four from
the service. the scene was brought to
a close by drumming the towards out
of camp. It was a notifying spec
tacle, but from that day no officer in
that division ever abandoned his col
,ors."
In,the case of Cadet Sheridan the
authorities at West Point were the
more inclined to leniency because they
saw in him the stuff out of which a
good soldier is made-loNe of his call
ing and great energy in preparing HIM
self for it. Not few of the had boys"
at school are bad from having a little
too much Of the vivacity and resolu-
ton that conquer the world, which
only need be rightly guided to bring
them fame.

Under the new time schedule of ssThe North

passenger trains of this line make the trip
between st. Paul and Chicago in less
than Ia hours
The Pullman and Wagner Vestibuled
Limited, leaving st. Paul at $50 D. M
makes the trip to Chicago in 1917
hours and from Chicago to St. Paul in 13
hours and 25 minutes
The Daylight Express leaving ST. Paul at
7:45 a. m. makes the trip to Chicago in
13 hours and so minutes and from Chicago
to st. Paul in 13 hours and As minutes.
This is the only line running all it's trains
in less than Il hours between ST. Paul and
Chicago, and while this time is quick,
trains do not have to run ut as high rate
of speed to make their time as on other
lines, because this line is shorter than any
other line.
In addition to these facts, thisis the only
line by which connections are assured in
Chicago with all fast line trains from Chica-
