BROWNIES CHRISTMAS SPORTS.
BY ED. R. PRITCHARD.

When Merry Christmas time round and all the world gay,
The Brownies hold high revey from dark till dawn of day.
And chief among their Christmas sports tits coasng holds high place.
AS down the hill they fly pe-mell in reckless, joyful
Then up again they bravey tug to try the fun,
Till morning comes joys
So like Brownies should enjoy this happy Christmas Day.

A curious story is told concerning q

he could not help it. He is now cured.

This shadow was none other than q pri,

Rev. j. FL. Hartman, in order TO make

where their language is not generally
used. He said he had felt that way him.

romance accompanies Columbus on his

the narrative consists of an account of

that occurred At this juncture readers

real experiences of Columbus are inter

of the hero, and there is introduced in

The GaueIle.

There is a kind of tin mug called the
gamelle, in which the French soldier re-
ceives his rations. and which he carries
on his knapsack. The form is little
peculiar, so as to distinguish it from
other ordinary tin mugs A simple i'm
plement which. carried on the backs Of
French soldiers, has marched so often to
victory, and of late to defeat, has mt last
received its reward in its glorihcation.
When the young Duke of Orleans came
before the court. and exclaimed: s.I ask
for nothing but gamelle,r meaning
nothing but the treatment of a common
soldier, the public readily seized upon
the emblem.
Scarcely three days had elapsed before q
great jeweler of the Rue de La Paix had
hundreds of '.tin mugs in silver, gold
and jewels as pins and badges, which

IF one wants 10 get lively sense of
what it means to rush through space at
fifty or sixty miles an hour he must
get on locomotive. Then only does
he begin TO realize what trifies stand
between him and destruction. A few
weeks ago lady sat an hour in the cab
of a locomotive hauling fast express
train over mountain road She saw
the narrow bright line of the rails and
the slender points of the switches. She
heard the thunder of the bridges, and
saw the track shut in by rocky bluffs
and new perils suddenly revealed as
the engine swept around sharp curves.
The experience was to her magnificent,
but the sense of danger was most ap-
palling. To have made her expert
ence complete she should have taken
one engine ride on a dark and rainy
night
In a day light ride on locomotive
we come TO realize how slender is the
rail and how fragile its fastenings
compared with the ponderous ma
chimes which they carry. We see what
a trifing movement of a switch makes,
the difference between life and death.
We learn how short the look ahead
must often be and how close danger
sits on either hand But il is only in
night ride we learn how dependent
| the engineer must be, after all, upon
the faithful vigilance of others. The
head light reveals few yards of glis-
tening rail and ghostly telegraph poles
and switch targets. Were a switch
open, a rail taken up. or pile of ties
on tine track, we could not possibly see
the danger in time TO stop. G..

The following incident, which oc-
CURED in 1866, is related by Herr Won
Sybel in the fourth volume of his book,
''The Founding of the German Empire
by William L.: During a dinner at the
Saxon embassy in Berlin. Countess Ho-
henthal, wife of the Ambassador, said
naively to the Prussian Premier, who
sat next to her: DO tell me, Excel

fight with Austria and take Saxony?'
Prince Bismarck answered, with great
amiability: Certainly it is true, dear

hood of your estate that we shall beat

"When the ex-Chancellor was anxious
, ly questioned by other diplomatists as
to this conversation, he was much
amused that the mocking repulse of an
indiscreet question should be taken
seriously. But Herr Won Beust remem-
bering his long enmity against the poli-
| cy of Prussia, really took up the matter
in earnest, sent the important news to
| Vienna, demanded Austria's protection,
and declared that if Austria would arm
at once all the middle states would
stand by her. but that otherwise they
/ would turn their backs on her forever.

Beust was not without influence in the

WHY the TiIes Were Large.

The houses of ancient Rome. previous
to the war of Pyrrhus, were covered
with boards. but afterward with tiles;
and, according to Vitruvius. and from
what remains of ancient monuments,
these must have been of large size, not
less than two feet broad. Seneca speaks
of garrett covered with one single tile.
In the war against Marc Antony, the
Senators were taxed at the rate of ten
asses (about twenty-five cents) for every
tile on the roof; hence it was, of course,
desirable to have tiles of as large dimen-
sions as possible, thus reducing the
amount of the taxes.-N. Y. Ledger.
