Arago,s Dilemma.

Arago, the great French scientist,
dreaded nothing more than seeming
ridiculous. He was careful of his dig
nifty even with his most intimate friends.
Eugene de Mirecourt give an amusing
account in his Portraits ct Silhouettes
du XIX Steele" of Arago's modification
at having to share a room with his
friend, M. Quetelet, director of the
Brussels observatory.
They were at Louvain. When it ap-
peared that the best accommodations
that could be given them was one room
with two beds Arago seemed much dis
turbed. When they went to the room
he paced the floor impatiently, while the
Belgian astronomer watched him in as
constituent and dared not prepare for
bed.
Finally Arago seemed to form des-
perate resolution. He exclaimed, Il
ought to tell you, my dear friend, that
it is impossible for me to sleep unless
have on my head
"Whatr'
"a cotton nightcapl"
"Faith, that is my own habit" replied
M. Quetelet "Many persons cover their
heads SO when they go to bed."
"Do you think sop said Arago with a
sigh of relief. "But that is not all.
When l sleep
"Wellr'

"Ah, so do l. I make as much noise
as pipe organ" returned the Belgian.
"Oh, well, then, that is different, +"
said Arago, much consoled. "Let us go
to bed"

His Offering.

A Boston newspaper reports an anus

conductor had collected his fares and re-
turned to his station upon the rear plat
form when one of the passengers left his
seat and took another nearer the front.
The conductor, meantime, was pre-
sumably on the lookout for passengers,
and when his gaze reverted to the car he
saw, as he thought, new man in one of
the forward seats. Heproceeded at once
to collect the fare and tapped the gen.
tleman courteously on the shoulder.
"This is one cent piece" said the
official

SARATOGA. N. Y, Sept. 25.-Rev. DIR.
Burchard died at p. m. today.
[Dr. Burchard achieved fame by con-
tributing to the defeat of Blaine for
president in 1884 by using the allitera-

rebellion" in an address at a banquet
to the candidate at Delmonico's few
days prior to the election. Mr.. Blaine's
failure to rebuke the speaker, in his re-

About sitting Erect and LOungine.


The crusade which began some months
ago against the habit of Americans ''sit-
ting on their spines" has suddenly start
ed up again The lackadaisical, round
shouldered and slanting carriage of New
Workers is noticeable in nearly all public
places. have often observed, in glanc-
ing over the people in the big restau-
rants, that the diners lounged in their
chairs almost without exception. The
man who sat erect in a sensible fashion
was o great rarity All along Broad
way loungers in hotels are sprawled
over their seats in a similar way, and
nothing is more common than to see
man slide down in his seat in the thea
ter until his knees are wedged against
the chair in front of him and his neck
rests upon the back Of his own chair.
In railroad trains there is similar ex-
hibition of lackadaisical, sprawling,
lounging and half recumbent men. l
have notion that all of this is due to
certain extent to ignorance.
Men who have long journeys to go
through should try the effect of sitting
upright in the corner of seat one day
and sprawl all over the seat the next.
They will find that the percentage of
fatigue is immeasurably smaller when
sitting squarely in the seat than when
trying to cover it in recumbent posi-
ton. So it is in the street car. the cab
and the elevated trains. The principal
advantage of the erect posture is that
when person sits in this way, without
leaning against the back of the seat, the
Jar of the car is SO distributed that it
never reaches the head. There is much
more comfort to be had in sitting erect
than in lounging. - Blakeley Hall in

LONDON, Sept. 25.-There have been
advices received from Captain Young
husband, dated Kasjar, who states that,
learning that the Russians had crossed
the Afghan frontier in spite of the pro-
tests of the authorities, and being in
formed that the Russians were forcing
their way toward Painters, he started
out to verify the reports. He found,
August 10th, the rear guard of the Rus
slams, 100 strong, at Bozai-Gumbuaz,
near Chitral or Little Kasjar. Captain
Younghusband therefore placed himself
in communication with the British post
at Gulghitt. The British officials in
command there promptly sent force Of
200 Goorkas to the scene Of the Russian
operations. The Russians, on hearing
Of the approach of the Goorkas, retraced
their steps, and, joining the rear guard,
the whole force returned across the
frontier.

How One Regir

How Ono Regimental Pet Was Secured.
The Ninety-ffth Derbyshire (now the
Second Battalion Derbyshire regiment),
possessed at one time highly priced
pet. It was on the Both of March, 1858,
that Major and Brevet Lieutenant Col
onel Raines of the Ninety-ffth foot, led
the third assaulting column at the capture
of Kotah, and important fortified city of
Rajpootana. The assault had proved
successful; Kotah was taken, and the
Ninety-ffth, under Colonel Raines, wac
engaged in clearing the streets, when a
private of the Grenadier company no.
ticed o fine black ram tethered in a
garden.
1t was O magnificent animal, with
enormous curved horns-one, in fact, Of
the famous breed of Rajpootana eight
ing RAM" Colonel Raines' attention be-
ing drawn to this ram, it struck him
how very well it would look marching
at the head of the Ninety-fifth; so, az
there was no actual fighting going on at
that moment, he ordered the Grenadier
to take possession of the animal.
The order was readily obeyed, and
thus the Ninety-ffth acquired this hand
some representation Of their county
badge (the Derby Ram''), for the ram
proved a willing prisoner, showing not
the slightest disposition to resent his
compulsory enlistment into her Britain
mic majesty's service. The Ninety-fifth
highly approved of their prize. The
ram was forthwith dubbed DERBY l."
and handed over to the care of the big
drummer, who from that time became
