Charles Lambs Nature.

The Chautauquan says of Charles Lamb that he possessed that highest of heart qualities, universal human ten derness. He always saw the best in men and awakened it, sometimes from long sleep. "How could hate him?" he said to some one. Don't I know him? I never could hate anyone knew" It was this ready compre- hension of every mans nature that made him say, in his whimsical way: ''I love a fool as naturally as if were
 zith and kin to him." Nor was it a fondness which made him blind to his friends foibles. Of queer Martin Bur ney he wrote: 'Why does not his guard ian angel look after him2 Maybe he has tired him out.'' Of Wordsworth, who had declared he could have written Hamlet" if he'd had the mind, he said: ''It is clear nothing is wanting but the mind" Of his landlord he wrote: "He has forty-fve pounds sterling year ahd one anecdote." Of everybody he made keen characterizations, but al- ways with kindness.

 "How's the wheat crop, eh2" replied the dingy parsonage. 'Fust rate, fust rate"
 "Is that which fell alike by the way side, into barren places and upon good ground completely subterranean?"
 The passengers all laughed.
 ''Is the seed all under ground, eh?'' said the countryman. ''Sure; all the seedin's done and things are sproutin'.' .'
 "Has your retina been impressed by any members of the advanced guard o1 the cantharis vittata?'' The passengers giggled
 "Seen any potato bugs, eh?" said the rustic. "You bet; seen lots of potato bugs but nary an army worm." 'No?" said the gay young officer hastily, heading off an incipient laugh land why is the army worm no longer with you?"

HIsIoRIc eRITIsH HOMES.

Mansion Three Centuries old to Which
 GOrdon-Cunming Took His Bride.
 Wollaton Hall. Lord Middleton's seat In Notts, where Sir William and Lady Gordon-C Cumming spent the first days1of their honeymoon, says the Pal Mall Gazette, Is one of the most perfect specimens of Elizabethan domestic architecture in the country. It took eight years to build 1t, and it was com pleted in 1888 by Sir F. Willoughby, the material used being Ancaster stone brought from Lincolnshire on pack horses and exchanged for the coal found on the estate. During the reform riots of 1881 the house was threatened with the fate of Nottingham castle, but the yeomanry was brought up in time to drive back the advancing mob. The park, which comprises some seven hun dred and fifty acres, pleasantly undu- latfng and well wooded-a fine avenue of lofty Times leading up to the ha1l-is on the edge of Nottingham, but is shut off from the vulgar gaze by high brick wall which must have cost a small fortune, and on which, tradition has 1t, one man spent the entire period of his apprenticeship. Picturesque as is the seat, however, it is little in favor with its noble owner, who finds the air of Notts prejudicial to his health, and his real home Is at Birdsall, in Yorkshire.
 Gordonston, near Elgin, is the smaller of the two Scotch country houses owned by Sir William Gordon Cumming. Sit- uated midway between Elgin and the Moray Firth and less than three miles distant from either the edifce, consid- erably smaller than A1tyre house, is surrounded by rich agricultural land. Adjoining the house Is the old burying place of the Gordon-Cummings and al- though the present baronet has not re- sided much in the district the great re- spect entertained for the memory of his father, Sir Alexander, secured for Sir William a hearty welcome from the tenantry and country people

 NEW YORK, July 31.-During the progress of last nights thunder storm 8 stroke of lightning in the shape of 8 ball of fire, followed by heavy thunder, fell within few feet of the railway station at Sheepshead Bay just as a passenger train was pulling into the depot.
 The shock threw the train, which com prised three cars and an engine, com pletely off the track. Intense excitement prevailed for 8 few moments. Women screamed and men lost their presence of mind in the face of what they considered inevitable death. They were finally com posed and sent home on another train.
 Almost simultaneously with the Sheepshead Bay freak ball of fire fell in the rear of the Manhattan Beach Hotel at Coney Island and created consterna- among the guests and employees. It struck the telegraph wires with a report like that of 8 cannon. No serious dam age was done excepting to the wires.

EARLY TRACES OF MAN.
He Existed in Denmark and ScandInavia
 SevCn Thousand Years Ago.

He Existed in Denmark and Scandinavia
 sevOn Thousand Years Ago.
 When was man first placed on earth? No one can ans wer that question. Hugh Miller says that mans habit of burying his dead out of sight makes 1t very easy to be mistaken on that point; for, because of burial, mems bones may be found among the animals that have lain in the earth for ages. There is one thing, however, that gives us an inkling of when he came. Certain tools, that only man could have made, have been found buried in caves, in peat beds, and in the bottom of lakes. Often these are covered by layers of rocli and, by calculating how long 1t took to make the layers, a guess can be made as to when the tools were put there. Still, 1t is only a guess, and no one pretends to regard the question as settled, because under some conditions the layers would be made much faster than under others. But the bones of certain animals, the mammoth and other great creatures of -that time, which have long since died, have been found with these tools, writes Theresa Crofton in St. Nicholas. By calculat- ing In what ages these animals lived, and how long 1t takes a race of ani- mals to die out, surer result can be arrived at In cave in England, bur jed under limestone layer from one to fifteen inches thick, tools have been found mingled with the bones of ele. phants, tigers, rhinoceroses and hye mas, which roamed over that country thousands and thousands of years ago The peat bogs of what is now Denmark and Scandinavia are filled with stone tools. Some have been found in bed. of gravel, underlying peat which 1. certainly seven thousand years old This seems to show that man mus
 have dwelt on earth at least as mas, | years ago.

IN THE REGULAR ARMY.
Certain Things Which Detract from the
 Delights of a Martial Career.

Certain Things Which Detract from the
 Delights of a Martial Career.
 The young man who enlists in the regular army with the idea that he is going to have fine time soon awakes to the fact that he is not on picnic, says Texas Siftings. If he has drawn pictures of how he will chase the turk ing red man and rescue young maidens from the relentless uplifted tomahawk he is going to suffer disappointment. The young maidens keep out of the way of the savages and he Is kept out of the way of the young maidens.
 Life at a frontier post is about as humdrum as 1t can be out of the states prison, except, of course, when there is an Indian uprising on hand; then it's business, and the meanest kind of busi- ness at that. If a force is sent out to bring in to the reservation band of raiders, 1t may mean few hours or it may mean days of hard riding and suf- fering all sorts of inconveniences. No one can tell when the start is made when they will see headquarters again. If the start is made in haste in response to an alarm the poor soldiers may sui fer for days and days without their tooth or nail brush, and perhaps not see china wash-bowl or Turkish towel until they return to the fort When on the march after Indians the unfeeling savage purposely selects a route on which there are no frst-class hotels, and the soldiers are compelled to put up with the most primitive sleeping ac- commodations and bar service, snatch ing bite of something to eat whenever and wherever they can with out the lux ury of iuger-bowls. Then again the officers have a way of ordering the men around, making them keep in line when drilling, and do sentry and picket duty, either of which are trying, especially at night, to young men accustomed to sleep on feathers. For young fellow made of the right stuff the regular army Is all right, but romantic dudes want to keep just as far away from it as they can, if they know when they | are well off.
