sions generally run i'll the direction of dress.
With the insane boys it il another story.
Most of them want Ia kill Indians or so of on
some dangerous expedition.
In all cases when Insane persons are COM

aDauehtsr OF ~. R.rim.,,.n

It Is not an uncommon thing IN the
European armies for q regiment of
troops to take some poor abandoned
child, and bring it up as son or dsugh-
ter of the regiment. Daughters of the
regiment" are oftenest found, perhaps,
because it is more poetic and interesting
for a battalion of rough troops to adopt
and cherish little girl than it is to take
a mere boy, who may presently he
rough and a soldier like the rest.
Many romances have been woven
around these daughters of the regiment,
but better than romance Is the most re-
cent way of bringing up such daughs
ter, which is illustrated in the case of
brave Russian regiment and its young
ward.
In the winter of 1873, when a regf
ment of grenadiers of the Russian army,
called the Kexholm Regiment, was pass
ing through Bulgaria during the Turk.
ish War, the men found little girl in
village which had been abandoned by
its inhabitants.
The soldiers took her with them.
She was formally adopted as the daugh-
ter of the Kexholm Regiment, and giveR
the name of Mary Kexholmsky.
In the long years of peace which fol.
| lowed, Mary had no lack of woman's
ender care in the quarters of the regi-
ment. The wives of the officers and
others We'd in caring for her. But she
was early sent to school, as the daughter
of any other well-to-do citizen might be,
at the Alexander and Mary Institute at
Warsaw, where the regiment was sta
toned. The cost of her education was
paid by the regiment as whole.
Mary was bright scholar, and last
June finished her studies at the Insti-
tute. Wishing to make some sign Of
her gratitude to her big foster-parent.
and having certainly not sufficient
money of her own with which to make q
present to each of the grenadiers, she
did what any other sensible girl would
have done-she worked out gift with
her thread and needle, and sent it with
| her thanks.
The gift was big cushion of silk vel
vet, upon which Mary had embroidered
the number of the regiment, and a
representation of some of the marks of
distinction which had been awarded to
it in token of its brave service.
Below these was the inscription,
worked in silk, giving the date of the
girls adoption by the regiment and Of
her graduation from the school:
MARY Kexholmsky, student of the
Institute A. NJ. A. W.
January II, 1878; June Z, 1890"
Tho Offioorc oa1abratad tho rooonfion
of the cushion with festival, to which
all Mary's schoolmates were invited.
Her education completed, the daughter
of the regiment will be found some use

Getting Two Lessons in Half an Hour.

A Maine boy, who is now Professor
in one of our New England Colleges,
used to teach town schools while fitting
himself for his university course. One
strapping great girl, woman grown,
caused him considerable trouble, be-
cause of her indifference to the beauties
of education in general and "gogerfry7
in particular, for which neglect he
caused her to put in considerable time
after school in making up. 1t reached
the teachers ears one day that this maid
had declared to an admiring group that
she wouldn't have her lesson on that
afternoon, and if the teacher kept her
after school, he would have the privi-
lege of sitting up one night with her
at any rate before she would make the
lesson up. This idea caused much ex-
element among the pupils, who are
usually ready to enjoy teachers dis
comfture.
When the session ended the other
pupils fingered about with an air of ex-
pectancy to see the outcome of matters.
The teacher politely showed them out
of the room, however. and then went
in and shut the door. There sat the
damsel with her arms defantly folded
and her book closed on the desk before
her. The pedagogue cordially invited
her to open her book and begin opera
tons, but this had no effect whatever.
"All right" said he, taking out his
watch, "I1l give you just thirty minutes
to get that lesson, and if it is not ready
at the end of that time I'll take you
across my knee and give you one of the
most comprehensive, unabridged and
able-bodied spankings that have occur
red since Julius Caesar was an infant"
Then he took chair with his back to
the enemy. Surprise, modification,
tears and sobs ensued, but at the end of
the half hour the lesson had been
learned two lessons, probably

trembled. Reaching out with its long
arms, It gathered everything into ita in
satitate NAV; the wealth of years melted
before its tongue of fire like frostwork,
| and the shrieks of the dying victims
were drowned In the fearful bowling OF
the storm as it crashed and roared.
Backward and forward over the child
hood home it swept, until at last its
fury was spent, and the bright sunlight
came again to paint with rosy fingers
the ruin that was left. Then messages
of love were sent out, at first vainly as
the ravens mission, but after a while
the dove returned with an olive branch.
The brother was alive, but that was
all; all else was gone. He was left
poverty-stricken in the cyclones track;
the sister widow, and penniless in a
strange land. She longed to see her
brother, and he to hold his little sister
once more to his heart: but both were
helpless to cross the wide barrier of space
that lay between them. And so the
years went on. One day letter came
to the brother in handwriting that
was not hers. With trembling fingers
he tore it open.
Weary with waiting and worn with
toll, heart and hands were still; the soft
brown eyes were closed, and on her fair
young face deaths seal was placed.
The home-pleoding was hushed!
It was years before the brother could
make his way to where she slept, but
at last he reached the place. Strang-
ers pointed out to him the place on a
bleak hillside. then reverently left him
alone with his dead. Throwing him
self upon the grass-covered mound, he
buried his face in his hands, and in his
deep agony and distress he called her
name again and again, but from the
sleeping dust no answer came; earnest
~ he prayed God that he might die
and be laid to rest beside her.
They gave him the little she had left,
a few trinkets, saved because they came
from the PARKWAY sunny home. The
brothers heart bled at the sight as he
held them in his hand-a little coral
necklace she had worn when a child, q
piece of her mothers hair, bundle of
letters from home, tied with a strip of
faded ribbon.
He bowed his head, and the image of
the dear little sister came and stood be-
fore him, so real that he almost felt
that she was there.
Back to the grave for last sad look,
a last farewell, and he turned his face
again to struggle with the world, and
to-day, after years of wandering, he
reached the old home again.
Only one hawthorn is standing now;
the other, that bore the little sisters
name, is gone-a decaying stump marks
the place where it stood.
The little mOss-built houses are gone,
too, but a piece of broken cup, once
her little tup," lies just as she left it,
and through misty eyes he sees again
the little sister with the soft brown
eyes and sun-burned hair under the
hawthorn tree.

BOW Gold Is shipped.

When one recalls the fact that mil
lions upon millions of dollars in gold
annually seek Europe to provide for the
necessities of our import trade, the
question of how gold is shipped to Eu-
rope becomes an interesting one. The
Bank Of America is the largest single
shipper of gold from New York, and
indeed from the United States. Ship
ments are made in stout kegs, very
much like the ordinary beer keg.
Every one contains $4,000 in coin or
bar gold. The latter is the favorite for
these shipments, since the Government
has permitted the sub-treasury to ex-
change coin for bar gold, as coin, in a
to loss from abrasion of from eight to
twenty ounces or from $128 to 1920,
while the bars only lose about three
fourths of that value. Where coin is
sent double eagles are preferred. They
are put in stout canvass bags, each one
containing 125 double eagles, 5000;
and ten bags fill each key. About the
only precaution taken against tamper-
ing with key, is a treatment of keg
ends technically known as "red-taping
Four holes are bored at equal intervals
in the projecting rim of the slaves
about the head. Red tape is run
through these crossing on kegs head.
the ends meeting at the center, where
they are sealed to the head by the hard
est of wax, and stamped with the con-
signor's name. The average insurance
is about $1,000 on $1,OOO,0OO. Then
there is an expense of about 50 per key
for packing and carriage aboard ship,
or 5000 for the same sum and the inev-
liable loss by abrasion, whatever it
may prove to be. There are great Wall
street firms shipping from $25, 100000
to $40, 000, 900 annually.-ECchdn

PECULIAR INFATUATIoFs.
Different Methods OF following the
Injunction Love One Another"

Do men ever fall in love with each
other?
Women do. Not long ago young
woman in New Jersey was married to
Youthful laborer on her fathers farm
Sometime afterward it was discovered
that the husband was a female; the
Young wife refused, however, though
earnestly entreated by her friends, to
give up her chosen consort The strang-
est part of the discovery was the fact
that the bride knew her husband was
woman before she was led to the altar.
If men do not exhibit this strange
infatuation for one of their own sex,
they at least often give evidence OF the
fact that they love one another.
1t is a proud possession-the knowl-
edge that one has saved precious hu-
man life. Meriden, Conn, is the home
of such happy man. John Il. Pres
ton, of that city, July 18th, 1890, writes:
"Five years ago was taken very sick,
1 had several of the best doctors, and
one and all called it complication OF
diseases. was sick four years, taking
prescriptions prescribed by these same
doctors, and l truthfully state I never
expected to get any better. At this
time 1 commenced to have the most
terrible pains in my back. One day an
old friend of mine, Mr.. r. T. Cook, OF
the firm Curtis & Cook, advised me to
use Warmers Safe Cure, as he had been
troubled the same way and it had effect
ed cure for him. I bought six bottles,
took the medicine as directed, and am
to-day a we'll man. 1 am sure no one
ever had worse case Of kidney and
liver trouble than had. Before this l
was always against proprietary medl-
cines but not now, oh, no."
Friendship expresses itself in very
peculiar ways sometimes; but the true
| friend is the friend in need.

MRS. LEASE.

Mrs Lease is reported as saying in
her speeches that she was refused an
opportunity to speak to the old soldiers
at the state reunion.
Everyone having this matter espe-
cially in charge and connected with the
reunion officially has caused to be pub
lished fat and emphatic denials of this
statement. From Commander Ira f.
Collins down, they all say that no one
made any application for chance for
Mrs. Lease to speak.
From among these denials the fol-
lowing is selected:
'sAs chairman of the Committee OF
Forty-Three 1 was on duty at head
quarters constantly during the day
time through The entire reunion. Head
quarters tent was conspicuously labeled
and I never had an application to speak
from Mrs. Lease or anyone represent
ing her. In view of the above facts it
is clear that Mrs. Lease is not strictly
following the ninth commandment. II
she is member of the Woman's Relief
Corps, she ought to be discharged at
once and the premises fumigated.
