Frederick's Tall Regiment.

Frederick the Great, of Prussia, formed
a regiment of the tallest men he could
procure, and insisted on their marrying
the tallest women they could find, with q
view CT producing giant ra ce of guards;
but in this he was unsuccessful. Voltaire
says that these men were his greatest de-
lighr. Those who stood in the front
rank were none of them less than seven
feet high, and he ransacked Europe and
Asia to add to their number. There is a
somewhat apocryphal story that Frederick
was once reviewing his regiment of
giants in the presence of the French,
Spanish and English Ambassadors, and
that he asked each of these in turn
whether au equal number of their
countrymen would care to engage with
such soldiers. The French and Spanish
Ambassadors politely replied in the mega
tive; but the English Ambassador replied
that, while he did not venture to assert
that an equal number of his countrymen
would beat the giants, he was perfectly
sure that half the number would try

The Musical Sense In Animals aud Men.

The higher animals can also enjoy
music, as my house-cat shows, when she
comes at the playing of the piano to sit
by the player, and sometimes jumps into
her lap or'on the keyboard of the in
strument. I know of dog, too, in q
family in Berlin, which comes in in like
manner when there is music, often from
distant rooms, opening the door with his
paw. l knew of another dog, usually
thoroughly domestic, which occasionally
played the vagabond for love of music.
Whenever the semi-annual mass was
celebrated in the city he could not be
kept ut the house. As soon as the So
called Bergxnappen, which were accus-
toned to play ut this time in the streets,
appeared, he would run away and follow
them from morning till evening.
Evidently neither cats nor dogs, nor
other animals that listen to human music,
were constituted for the appreciation of
it, for it is not of the slightest use to
them in the struggle for existence. More
over, they and their organs of hearing
were much older than man and his music.
Their power of appreciating music is
therefore an uucontemplated side-faculty
of hearing apparatus which has become
on other grounds what VIC find it to be.
So it is, I believe, with man. He has
not acquired his musical hearing as such,
but has received a highly developed
organ of hearing by process of selec-
ton, because it was necessary to him in
the selective process; and this organ of
hearing happens also to be adapted to
listening to music.-Popular Scisnce

tually insepsiblc to pain on the Left half
Of the body. DR.. .Charcot showed this by
pricking her with pin on each side.
She was bidden to gaze intently on
point near and above her eyes, when she
soon went off into Inconsistencies, and
the doctor closed her eyelids. Now the
probe could be inserted anywhere with
put any signs of pain. By touching GER
tain muscles, various actions were me-
chanically performed by the limbs and
fingers and muscles of the face. Then
the doctor pressed on certain tendons,
the result being the stiffening of tho
whole body; SO rigid was she that the
doctor could place her head on the back
of q chair and her heels on the floor with
out the girl falling.
The second, or cataleptic, stage was
induced by the forciblc opening of tho
girls cyclids, resulting in q stare rs OF
enhancement. In this state the girl was
made to believe everything and any.
thing. A gong was struck and she was
told itwas church bell, upon which she
struck devotional attitude. A bit of
red glass was put before her eyes
with the information that tho
house was on fire, and at once
she became frantic with terror. A num-
Der Of other experiments followed, which
most of us have seen done in exhibitions
of mesmerism during the last thirty
years; but whereas most of those vulgar
performances were impostures, these
hypnotic manifestations are undoubtedly
genuine.
The third, or somnanbulistic stage
was induced by rubbing the girls hair
on top of her head. She now saw things
around her as they were, but the reason
ing power was deranged. Again she be-
licved whatever was told her. One man
was an iceberg, and she shivered when
he came near her. She gnawed steel
file, believing it to be chocolate, and so
on. In this stage the doctor could
paralyze any limb at will.

will. When it came to my turn to test
the experiment took the operator right
back to the door, quite forty feet distant
from the sleeping girl, and there l
whispered rs low as I could in his ear
something like this: "Let her raise her
right arm, comb her hair with her fingers,
and then take hold of her left hand on
her knee" The operator never opened
his lips nor moved from the spot, but he
stared picrcingly at his patient, and in q
few seconds she performed the move

but without failure i'll any point.
To prove the soundness of the girls
sleep, and her inscnsibility to pain while
in it, the operator borrowed q scarf-pin
from q spectator and thrust it right
through the heshy part Of the upper arm
so that the point struck out an inch. She
was then made to extend her arm and
walk around us for close inspection,
which lasted ten minutes by the watch, a
feat which few strong men could do
without letting the arm drop, even with

Heroic Deed of a Telegraph Operator.

A delegate to the recent Convention
of the Order of Railway Telegraphers of
America in New York city who attracted
much attention was Charles Adams, Of
Youngstown, Ohio. At one time when
he was iu the employ of the Pennsylva-
mia Railroad Co., Adams found freight
train directly in the way of fast ex-
press on the main line, and at that very
moment the instruments in his office
broke down without warning. Unless
the freight train was headed off and got
on siding q dreadful disaster was in
evitable. The anxious operator fortu-
natel7 was equal to the emergency. He
climbed the nearest pole, cut wire and
brought it down. Then he took his
stand on the steel rails of the track, and
made connection through his body.
Calling up the next station, he received
the response by holding the end of the
wire to his tongue. In this way he sent
and received dispatches and saved the
express. The pain was excrutiating, ,anG
his tongue was badly burned. Such is
the stuff out of which heroes and mar
tyrs are made.-Mo Orleans Picdyune.

The Monarch or Drcssmakcrs.

Few American women who have visitc
Europe are unfamiliar with the entresol
on the Avenue dc rOpcra in which
Worth, the monarch of drcssmakcrs,
holds his court. Worth was originally
a shopman in large London dry goods
store. He was promoted frou the counter
to become buyer for the firm by which
he was employed. In that capacity he
visited Paris, and their conceived the
idea of the dressmaking business which
has made his name as familiar to women
as that of Bismarck or Gladstone is to
the world OF large.
The portrait herewith is reproduced
from the Illustrated american, which
obtained from Worth the only photo
graph of himself that he ever consented
to have published. 1t shows him in the
costume in which he usually receives his
subjccts-thc dcvotees of fashion--who
will at once recognize the peculiar velvet
cap, somewhat like a loose Tam O.
Shauter, and the velvet-facc dressing
gown which he effects.
Worth's manner is autocratic. He
fully appreciates the fact that he has
achieved greatness. He lives in a pretty
villa buried in flowers, at Vile dAvray,

THE SONG OF THE SEA-

Their world was world of enc.lautment;
A wonder of luminous light
Came out with faring OF carmina
From all the black spaces o. night;
The music OF morn was as blthesomo
And CHEEKY as music could be;
But all through the dawn and the daybreak
mourned for the song of the sea.
They shovel me the marvellous flowers
And fruits of their SUI, beaten lands;
They said, Hero are vine-tangled valleys;
Forget ye the barren white sands;
For WEAKNESS unto the spirit
The dash of the breakers must be;
So dwell We beside our blue waters;
Forget the sad song of the sea-"
Ard wrapped me about in the sunlight,
On the marge of dimplins stream,
And there in tangle of lilies,
wove me wonderful dream;
And song from my dreamlaud went float
ing
Far up where the angels must DO,
But deep in its under vibrations
heard the sweet song of the sea.
With the cew in his locks all o-glitter
The Primo, Of the Daytime lay dead;
For tho silver-white lance OF the twilight
Snotc off the gold crown from his head;
And the Princess of Night came to see him,
Her lights all about him to hang;
And nightingale screened in the thickct
His song to the slumborcr sang.
And the stream from the tangle Of lilies
Came winding its way throu ;h the selge;
And silvery noctnrne it ripplei
Among the tall flags on its edge;
But its ba5ble fain would have given,
For the sleep-wooing sea voices lull,
And the nightingale's song would have bar
tered
For the desolato cry Of gull.
Their world was a world of enchantmeut;
And they laughed with the laughter Of
scorn,
When 1 turned me away from its beauty
In the light of the luminous morn;
But l heard grand voice in the distance
lnsistently calling to me-
And rosa with jubiiant spirit
And followed the song of the sea.

being caught in another theft, confessed

in the streets of New York, where he
went that holiday afternoon, and being
thought drunk, and put into o station
house, and being ashamed to give his
name next morning, and too sick to come

Excuses.

No wiser rem ark was ever made
by DR.. Benjamin Franklin than
severe sentence which he once ut
tered to young man who had an
appointment with hial, and missed
it. Next day the young man came
and began to make a very fluent
excuse to the doctor for his alb
sence the day before.
"StopT said Franklin. "You
have said too much already, my
good boy, for the man who is good
az making an excuse is seldom
good at anything else"
An easy excuse made a delin-
quent for flat error or failure to
do a duty seldom, indeed, softens
the heart of an employer or supe-
rior. OF course an account of the
reasons for a failure should be
given when a demand for them is
made, but they should be given
simply and briefly, and without
any attempt to make the case ap
pear any better than the plainest
statement of the fact makes it.
A youth who is beginning a
round of duties in any place which
has any responsibilities may as
well make up his mind that his
employer will look with some dis
favor, if not with suspicion, upon
his explanation of failures.
He must be perfectly honest
about them, and never slow to adj
NIT his mistakes. And there are
few employers who are not willing
to allow a beginner a liberal num-
Der of blunders and failures as a
part of his education. Youths
