Washington and .sThe Old Army" "

The toast assigned me is ''The Old
Army" Yes, that army is ''old," older
than the present government. 1t began
to take form the moment the colonists
made a lodgment ON the coast of Massa-
chusetts and Virginia; grew in proper
tion up to the French war of 1855, and
still larger during the Revolutionary
war, 1776-83.
In 1888 the armies of the Revolution
were all disbandsd, except "eighty pri-
Yates and due proportion of officers,
none to exceed the rank of captain" to
garrison West Point and Fort Pitt
In June, 1884, the congress of the thir-
teen states provided for two companies
of artillery and eight of infantry, not to
exceed 81 officers and 700 enlisted men.
In 1886 it increased the number to 46 Of
ficers and $40 men. At that date these
troops garrisoned the frontier posts, viz,
Fort Harmer, now Marietta, O.; Vim
cennes, Ind; and Venango, N. Y, in
addition to West Point, Fort Pitt, and
Springfield, Mass. Then came 1889, with
its new constitution, and Washington
became its first chief executive.
He was the father of this nation. No
man ever better comprehended the mean
ing of the expression, ''Life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness" that govern
ment was meant to govern" not to be
governed; that force to compel the right
was as necessary as patriotism, industry,
thrift, and patience to the citizen, and
one of his first acts was to organize an
army as the right hand of his admins
tration of law and justice in the face OF
clamoring theorists His efforts resulted
in the formation of the present army of
the United States.- General Sherman's
Last Speech" in Century.

A Telegraphist's Freak.

In connection with the opening Of the
London and Paris telephone a good story
is told of the early days of telegraphing,
when telephones were not yet thought
of, and when conversation had to be car
ried on, metaphorieally speaking, with
the help of the Morse instrument. At
the time referred to there were two COM
peting companies working with the Con-
tinent. One was the Submarine, with
its Office in Threadneedle street; the
other the Electric and International,
with it's offices in Telegraph street, not
many yards separating them. One
worked to France, the other to Holland.
Both used the Morse printing form of
apparatus. The competition did not
prevent the respective staffs from meet
ing in fraternal way, and on the occa-
sion in question it became evident that
two of them had been hobnobbing just
before each took up his duty at the diff
ferent offices at II p. M.
At about ten minutes past II the tele-
graphist who was in charge of the relay
at Amsterdam was asked by Telegraph
street to join him up to Brussels. This
was done, and Brussels was requested to
switch him on to Calais, and Calais was
desired to join through to London. The
line thus formed was from London to
Orfordness, on the Norfolk coast; across
the North sea to Scheveningen, on the
Dutch coast; through Holland, through
Belgium, through France, across the
English channel and back by Dover to
London. And all this trouble was taken
by the Telegraph street man to ask his
''chum" in Threadneedle street "if he
had picked up his pipe when leaving the
pubr'-London Tit-Bits.

No Fireproof Buildings.

There is hardly new hotel or bust
ness building in New York but>that is
advertised as freproof, and yet leading
architect told me the other day that such
q thing could not exist.
"They may be fireproof to all intents
and purposes" said he, "but if inaam-
mable material be in them and it get
afre the iron girders and beams will SO
expand that they will let the floor above
down. When one floor falls in an iron
bsamed building they all go, and then
the,s e,side>walls fall. The ruin is usually
more complete than it is in an ordinary
building. We do not build those iron
fireproof fronts any more, because in
case Of a fire they fall forward and de-
lmolish the building across the street. -

He Kept the Key.

The late DR.. Wightman, of Kirkma-
hoe, one night sitting later than usual
sunk in the profundities of great folio
tone, imagined he heard sound in the
kitchen inconsistent with the quietude
and security of manse, so, taking his
candle, he proceeded to investigate the
cause. His foot being heard in the
lobby, the housekeeper began with all
earnestness to cover the fire, as if pre-
pairing for bed.
"Ye're late up tonight, Mary"
"Pm just rakin' the fire, sir, and gaun
tosbed."
'Thats right, Mary; like timeous
hours"
On his way back to the study he
passed the coal closet, and, turning the
key, he took it with him. Next morn
ing at an early hour there was a rap al
his bedroom door and request for the
key to light the fire.
"Ye're too soon up, Mary; go back tc
your bed yet"
Half an hour later there was another
knock, and similar request in order to
prepare the breakfast.
II don't want breakfast SO soon, Mary
go back to your bed"
Another half hour and another knock,
with an entreaty for the key as it was
washing day. This was enough. He
rose and handed out the key, saying:
$50 and let the man out"
Mary's sweetheart had, as the doctor
shrewdly suspected, been imprisoned all
night in the coal closet, where, Pyramis
and Thisbe like, they had breathed thei1
love to each other through tho keyhole

A FAMOUS CAFE.

What Deimonico's Is to New York Tor
toni's Is to the Gay People of Paris.
Let us come at once to one of our old
est and most celebrated cafes-the Cafe
Tortoni.
Tortonil The name does not suggest
much to you, but to US Parisians it is full
of "reminiscences. | have said that this
establishment ia one of the oldest in
Paris. 1t was founded in 1898 by two
Italians, Valloni and Tortoni. 1t soon be-
came fashionable; gentlemen of the long
robe and functionaries frequented it,
Among the habitues was lawyer named
Spolor, whose skill at billiards was sur
prising
Prince Talleyrand had such pleasure
in seeing Spolor play, he had such conf
dence in his game, that he invited him
one day to his house and presented him
to one of his friends, the general receiver
for the department. of the Vosges, also
great billiard player and very proud of
his talent. A bet was made; solemn
match was engaged between Spolor and
the receiver, who lost in few hours
10000 francs You see that it is some
times useful to know how to play bill
iards.
One of the most curious types of the
Cafe Tortoni was Provost, one of the
walters, whose spine was as supple as
his conscience, and who never ap-
preached you unless bowed to the
ground, and asking in his softest tones:
Pardon me! A thousand pardons!
Is monsieur good enough to desire any
thing?"
1t was exquisite. What was 40 less SO
to him-was that in giving change he
kept the best part of it for himself. If
detected by chance he had but to repeat:
pardon me! pardon me! Thousand
pardonsp
Nowadays the Cafe Tortoni is no
longer haunted by diplomats like Talley-
rand, but by journalists and men of let
ters. Toward 6 o'clock are found now
and then gathered around its tables a
few men of wit-Albert Wolff, Emile
Blavet, Henry Fouquier and finally Azure.

Footstools in Theaters.

There Is an arrangement in most Eu-
ropean theaters which I am astonished
to see our theater owners neglect SO long
l refer to footstools If you go to the
theater and take look at the ladies
present you will notice that after an
act or two many of them, especially
those who are dininutive in stature, are
evidently very uncomfortable. Their
discomfort is owing to the same cause as
that of the man who was hanged-their
feet cannot reach the ground. After a
short time you may be certain that many
of the pedal extremities are in the arms
of Morpheus. You will notice that
many ladies put the toe of one foot on
the ground and raise the heel in the air.
Upon the instep the other foot is rested
and momentary relief obtained.
European managers recognize the fact
that seat that is comfortable enough
for man of average size is very insult
able for woman, and accordingly at
the entrance of the theater you can al
ways find woman who keeps little
stools which she rents for trifle. Any
lady who has used them is surprised at
how much the ease afforded adds to the
enjoyment of the play. Many own
their own stools, and bring them to the
theater as regularly as they do their
opera glasses. They are made of carved
wood, with the legs hinged so as to be
folded back, and can be carried with
little more inconvenience than that en-
tailed by taking n pOod sized nravar
book to church. They are inclosed in
handsomely embroidered bags with
handle, and if adopted here could not
fail to be opular.-Interview in st.
