Russian Military Discipline.

1t Is n curious fact in connection with
the Russian army that while it had often
met defeat, it was never routed; though
beaten and driven from the field, it never
became panic stricken mob. This cohe-
renee under defeat was due TO its splendid
discipline and rigid obedience to orders,
which were paramount to all other consid-
erations. \ Russian force was moving to
the attack of position that was impreg-
nable A superior officer asked the com
mander where he was going. ITO attack
the position in 'front.'" he answered. But
it is folly-madness 81 know it. but |
have my orders" ooh, you have orders;
move on, thenp' the officer cooAy said.
This incident takes a good deal of what
has always been regarded as eXaggeration
out of the story that is told of a Russian
army surgeon on his professional round.
On entering a ward the officer in charge
gives the command, Attention. when
each inmate at once takes the position OF 4
soldier Tongues out' is the next order,
followed 10y the instant projection of that
member. The surgeon, accompanied by an
attendant, then proceeds along the line,
examining each tongue ana giving direc-
tons as to treatment When the inspection
is over and the medical officer takes his de-
parture the command Tongues i'm re-
leases the line from its unpleasant and
ludicrous position, and In place rest.' al
lows the men to resume their cots. And
vet military writers admit that the soldier
who thinks always gets away with the
human machine in battle.-CincInnat

Tho Strange Way in Which Antrim wor-
rillOw Became Bald.
Media has been treated to a novel enter
tainment IN the court house, and it at
tracted large audiences Antrim Worril-
low was driving along a public road in
Lower Chichester some time ago, and came
upon a scene that is seldom witnessed out
side of Spain and her old colonies 1t was
bull fight. With locked horns and foam
ing mouths two gentlemen cows were en-
gagged in duel in the kings highway, to
the delectation of bevy of feminine Jer-
seys, who were enjoying the sport in field
near by.
His horse fearing bulls, as sll his kind
do. slid sidewise to the farthest admissible
place and endeavored to pass by, regardless
Of consequences and of the restraint of his
master. All would have been well but for
a solitary tree that sent its branches over
hanging the road, and it was these that
tore the top off of the Dearborn, broke the
traces and shot Mr.. Worrillow out into the
road. He was picked UP insensible, and
suffered for weeks before being able to get
about again.
Mr.. Worrillow brought suit against the
road supervisors for 5000 damages for
negligence in permitting the highway to
be INSTRUCTED by the tree, and Judge Clay
ton wrestled with this for two full days,
uncertain whether the blame rested on the
bulls, the road, the tree or the horse, but
with inclination toward the bulls.
Worrillow produced many witnesses az
to the facts, and DR.. Stellwagen, of Phila-
delpbia, as to the cause of his badness, for
his hair had all fallen out. The doctor
called his disease allopoecia areata, which
he told the court meant badness in
patches, caused by the shock.
The defense had also an array of wit
nesses, and among these DR.. D. Lannoy, of
Chester, who differed with SteIlwagen, as
doctors invariably do. lie said Mr.. Wor-
rillOw's disease was not as stated on the
other side, so he thought, but it was para
sitical and could be cured, the shock hav-
ing nothing to do with it.
The Judge hardly knew what to do, and
especially did he knownothing at all about
medical matters. AS he was brought up
on a farm he did know all about bulls, and
there wore many of these In his charge. He
told the jury they were twelve sensible
men and could settle the question by the
facts, although these were somewhat
mixed.
If the bulls smashed the wagon and the
tree did not touch it, then the bulls were
clearly liable; but if the tree was the sole
cause of the accident and the bulls did not
run against it, then the tree should bear
the blame; but if the bulls scared the horse
into the tree and all together contributed
to the general wreck, it was for the jury to
divide the conspirators and lay the dam
ages accordingly. AS the bulls had no
money and could not be assessed, the tree
should only be charged with its share, and
this would fall on the supervisors to pay,
therefore no excessive amount should be
awarded
The jury retired for half an hour and
gave Mr.. Worrillow $925.-Cor Philadel-

Bachelor Friends.

When bachelor plunges into the pool Of
matrimopy he usually leaves behind him,
as a bather might leave his clothes on the
shore, his old habits and his old friend
ships. The angel that he has taken for =
help meet looks upon the cronies of his cell
bate days with suspicion. She aspires to
be the keeper of his conscience, the sole de-
pository of his secrets, and is unwilling to
let even a few stray beams of his affection
defect toward any outsider; insisting, the
dear monopOlist, that they shall be all
localized upon herself.
If he loves her of course he yields, and
the friends of his bachelorhood find him a
changed man. They complain Of this, per-
chance, but have they a right to do so,
What need has he of any other social con-
fidant than his wife? The talk of his late
companions may not be wholesome for the
married ear; it is apt to be of old firta-
tons and old time escapades. Young wives
know this by instinct, and they think that
such conversation is not improving to
young husbands.-New York Ledger.

A Young Naturalist.

A dozen men were standing around the
defunct carcass Of snake on Water street,
specializing as to what variety it belonged
to. One said it WIS a house snake, another
contended that it was a RATHER, and others
suggested that 1t wasa black snake, agarter
snake or a water snake Finally bare
footed boy, with one pantaloen leg rolled up
to the knee and the other to the ankle joint,
stepped up, and inserting stick under
the reptiles body raised it up and said:
'I'll tell you what kind of snake that
is"
What kind is it?'' asked several men in
chorus.
"A dead snake" said the urchin, as he
tossed 1t into the mud and darted away

The Small Messshger Roy.

The messenger boy is no end of fun.
This individual was very tiny in body, but,
as you shall see, he was possessed of large
mind and mighty valor. He was coming
along the pavement just as a big Norman
horse, driven in a coal cart, stumbled
and fell. Now, our messenger boy WAS
skilled in emergencies like this He knew
exactly what to do, and so he skipped
blithely out and sat him down upon the
horses head The horse, from sheer force
of habit, gave feeble answering whisk to
his tail Then be raised his head-perhaps
he only snorted, one could not be quite
sure-but, at any rate, the tiny little fell
low was blown OFF into the air like a wtsp
of hay and landed in the gutter on the
other side of the street. And the gather
ing crowd was ignoble enough to laugh,
while a very big policeman came out of the
throng and sat assuredly on the horses
head.-New York Evening Sun.

Yet prize them far better than if they were

And heed them but little If ever they do,
For I'm talking, my dear one, stin talking TO you
Then as dust over gable and roof hovers near,
And the FIRST star is family beginning to peer,
Half song, half sigh, the dim easement steals
through,
And the angel who breathes it my dearest, rs

A recent patent enables a horses tail to
be kept at al times as trim and neat as a
fine lady's couture. This patent is enti-
tied the horse tail protector, and consists
of short bar with tive heads or buttons
on the ends, to which is attached rubber
cord having at each end elastic sockets
corresponding with the buttons The idea
is to allow Of the horses tail being twisted
round into knot, which is firmly held by
the protector This not only keeps the
tail clean, but saves an inr1ense amount
of conbing and brushing, which is so de

Not by anything she drank or took, but
by bad blood. Is it any wonder she
feels "blue?" In most cases blues are
only another name for bad blood. A man
or woman feels unhappy. Life seems
dark. The heart is heavy. Bad blood is
carrying its poison all over the body, and
we call It "blues."
