Yankee Dispatch.

One day | made some reference to the
clumsy and long-drawn-out way in
which the Russian guns were taken up
to the front. True, the roads were fright
full, the mud being beyond all descrip-
ton, but ventured TO suggest that the
progress of that artillery was, in many
instances, lamentably slow.
WAL" said the American, in broad
Yankee twang, II think you're right.
They've been at it for months and there's
very little promise of increasing speed.
How long, now, do you think it would
take Britishers to accomplish the same
endT'
Actually, l had not the slightest idea,
but | was not going to collapse before
my Yankee interrogation, 50 l suggested,
as an improvement on the existing state
OF affairs, that it would take us, say
about fortnight or three weeks. "By
the way" l continued, show long do
you think it would take the Americans
to achieve similar result?"
Americans? Oh, that's q very differ
ent kettle O. fish! Americans" and with
this he took out his watch, and glanced
at 1T several times in meditative silence.
1.-The Americans? Wal, should say, as
near as ! can calculate, somewhere be-
tween twenty-five minutes and half an
hour" and with this he turned on his
heel with a self-satisied air, leaving me
to digest the comparison. Irving Mon

There is in the office of the Merchants
National Bank, Of Kansas City, frag-
ment of meteor which has peculiar
history.
A farmer in Wertern Kansas had bor-
rowed more money on his farm than he
found himself able to repay. While
meditating over his bad fortune but,
with the usual energy of the Kansas
farmer, still tilling his soil, he turned
up this meteoric stone, and examined it,
but discovered nothing peculiar in its
make up until relative from the East,
who was visiting him, noticed it and
told him it was Of great value.
The farmer communicated with Pro-
fessor John Hay. State Geologist at
Junction City, KAN, who visited the
place and confirmed the opinion of the
relative and caused collectors of such
stones to compete for its purchase.
1t was sold for a sum largely in ex.
cess of the amount required to redeem
his home from the money lender.

An Indian Idea OF tho life Beyend tho

From their earliest traditions the

believe that the spirit, the moment that
it leaves the body, is compelled to travel
n long distance to the west, until is ar.
rives at an immense chasnn, at the bot
tom of which flows very rapid, rocky,
and dangerous stream. This terrible
gorge, which is surrounded on every
side by great mountains, the soul has to
cross OH "long and slippery pine log
with the bark peeled of, " the only pas
sage to the "happy hunting grounds. "
which lie beyond the dangerous bridge.
On the bank of the stream, just on the
other end of the log, there always stand
six persons, who have reached the
"happy hunting grounds" and who
throw sharp rocks at whoever attempts
to cross the treacherous log the moment
the middle of it is reached. Those who
have lived properly. according to the
Indian idea Of morals, have no trouble
in crossing the log; the stones fall harm.
lessly from them, and they reach tho
"happy hunting grounds, where there
is perpetual day, without difficulty.
There the trees are ever green, the sky
cloudless, and the breezes always gently
blowing; there, too a continuous feast
and dance are going on; the people never
grow old, but live forever and revel in
perpetual youth. The wicked when
they attempt to cross the dangerous
bridge, can see the stones which are
thrown at them, and in trying to avoid
them they will fall from the gidJy height
into the awful gorge thousands of feet
below the slippery log; where a rushing
boiling stream is tumbling over the
great sharp rocks, filled with dead fish
and animals which are continually
brought around to the same lace by the
eddies and whirlpools. There all the
trees are dead, the waters infested by
poisonous snakes, toads, and other re-
pu!sive looking reptiles. the dead are
always hungry, but have nothing to eat;
are always sick, but never die. There is
n sun, and the wicked are constantly
"climling up by thousands on the sides
of a high rock, from which they can
overlook the beautiful country Of the
good hunting grounds, the abode of the
happy. but can never reach it. "-[Bos-

Joannes zahn in 1896 first gave the
world information as to this valuable
plant. The planta tartarica bowmetz,
according to Mr.. Zahn, grows in Tartary
like any other plant, and when it gets
ripe lamb forms on the top of the
flower stalk. After while the stalk
bends over and the lamb grazes till all
the grass in the vicinity Is cropped off or
the stem is severed. Then it dies,

The Harvard Athlete.

The athlete in q recitation is very
amusing. When he enters some adj
mirer usually whispers his confdante:
Look at -, isn't he a dandy?" Tho
athlete always looks too large for his
chair in the class room. You wonder
why it does not break down. The book,
too, seems all out of place in his big
hands, and a pencil looks positively
funny as he handles it. He wears an
air of patronage as if intellectual pur-
suits were well in their way, and a
thing to be encouraged, even interest
ing on occasions. but just a little un-
worthy a man of muscle.
He likes to stretch out his big limbs,
and watch them in repose, knowing how
much they can do when occasion re-
quires. The professor even delers to
him little, unable to refuse his in-
stinctive homage topower--even though
it be physical. When he strolls across
the yard men look out Of their windows
after him. He is pointed out to tho
young lady visitors, and the fair Great
ures look with awe on the god like be-
ing whom they have seen battling in
mud and gore for the honor Of Harvard
in the superhuman fashion.
The athlete during his season of activ-
ity does not study much. H. has to re-
serve his energies for physical effort
He can neither smoke nor drink. About
all that is left him is to talk athletics.
and for this purpose he can get plenty
of listeners Rut whpn o'clock in the
afternoon comes then he is in his ele-
ment. And from 4 to Q he tolls away

be the mother of healthy offspring un-

When the Iuclless West Point cadet
who brought up the rear OF the g-adu-
ating class appeared before Secretary
Proctor for his diploma that diguitary
first disconnected him with 4 fixed and
strong gaze. then reassured him with
the kindly remark:
''We1, young gentleman, the officer
who holds the left Of the line has some
times great opportunities"
The man who holds the last place in
the graduating class to-day Is 4 general
object of commiSeration, says the Chi
cago Mail At him the shafts OF wit
are leveled. and the scornful glances Of
the faculty directed. Not for him is
the glory of pronouncing impassioned
eulocies upon the great men of the past.
The haclzneyed pathos of the valedic-
tory, and the labored joyousness Of the
salutatory, do not engage his sluggish
and uninspired pen.
While the shining class have been in
dustriously cribbing the great thoughts
of great authors for Incorporation in

perchance, been inventing new and i'm
