Steering an Army.

When General Wolseley decided to
attack the Egyptians stronghold at
Tel-el- Kebir, he marched his army, at
night, across seven miles OF sandy
desert. 1t was a dark, clear night;
there was no moon, but the stars
shone out. A naval4ieutenant, Wyatt
Rawson, had been detailed, because
used to navigating by the stars, to
guide the army across the desert to
the enemy's entertainments. With his
eye on the stars he st9ered the force as
he would have steered his ship. So
accurately did he lead that the first
gleam of the breaking day revealed to
the British troops the long line of solid
earthworks, 300 yards ahead. The
assault, within half an hour, put the
earthworks and the Egyptian army in
to the possession ofWolseley' s troops
The skilful "steerer," charging with
the men he had led, went across the
ditch, up the embankment, and over
the first line of earthworks Then he
fell, shot through the body. "Didn't
[ lead them straight, general?' he
asked, as the commandments bent
over him. Those words should find
an echo in the hearts of all true sol
diers,' writes Chaplain Male, in
"Scenes Through Battle Smoke -
every man is soldier if he live tru-
ly," adds the chaplain, "and before
each stern duty stands to lead him
forward to things higher and nobIer,' -

Inhabitants of Cheese.

DR. Adametz, u Swiss scholar, has
been taking census of the inhabit-
ants of d cheese. The microscopic ex-
animation of one "gramm" OF fresh
Emmenthaler cheese, such as is sold
in England under the name of Gruyere.
contains no fewer than 90. 900 so-called
microbes. This prodigious encamp-
ment after seventy days, proved to
have increased to q tribe of 800, 600.
Another sort of cheese contained with
in a single ''gramm" board and lodg-
ing for about 1000, 900 microbes
while in ''gramm'' cut from the rind
of the same cheese. DR.. Adametz found
about 5, 900, 900 of these inhabitants.
A piece of cheese upon our tables, OF
a few pounds weight, may consequent
ly contain more microbe inhabitants
than there are human inhabitants in
the whole world.-Americsin Rural

A Generous Barll.erh

A pretty anecdote comes from Brus-
sells illustrating the generous spirit OF
a banker of that city. The banker is
fond of outdoor exercise. At an ex-
hibition of his skill in skating he
made his autograph on the ice in a
very artistic manner. Some gentle
men having admired the signature,
proceeded to write above it as follows:
.On demand l promise to pay for
the benefit of the poor the sum of 5000
francs"
They saved out the block of ice,
and having called a hack. proceeded
to the bank and carried the frozen note
of hand-of foot, we mean-to the
cashiers counter. The cold tempera-
ture happily prevented the melting
away of the icy draft, and the banker
having been appealed to, ordered it to
be paid.

did the Old Merchant Wish to Reblke
His Daughter.

"There was fine old gentleman in
this city-he died not many months
AGO who from the humblest begin
nings made his way steadily up to
commercial fame and immense wealth
all by the manufacture Of soap" said a
New Yorker the other day. 'and with
all his wealth and prosperity he never
forgot how a poor man feels or lost
any of his considerations for tho rights
of others. Pride never pulled him up
nor made him ashamed Of his business
or his early history.
'His wife was as intensely purse
proud as he was simple. though her
origin was as humble as his own, and
her daughter took after her. This
child married well, as they say; that
is, young swell about town proposed
TO her on account Of the great wealth
he knew she would inherit. When the
engagement was settled the daughter
and mother asked the old man what he
was going to do in the way of setting
the young people up in life.
Here they ran up against an unex-
pected snag. The Old boy would give
nothing in the way of 4 dowry. He
thought the bridegroom should support
his wife unaided, till her fathers will

pair to examine the new house. All
through the honeymoon they talked
of the pleasure they would have in go
