The Major did not sleep that night

He could tell his people that his high re-
gard for justice had driven him to the
extremity of opposing them. and he
felt that when they had thought over
the situation they might not hold him
in a loving grasp, but that they would
not choke him in revenge. He had gone
to bed but was still musing when he
heard great tumult in the street. Il

Freak Of a Princess.

The youngest brother of the Princess
of Wales, Prince Valdemar, is naval
officer. He is married to Princess Marie,
the daughter of the Due de Charities.
Some years ago Prince Valdemar, who
has earned the rank of Captain, work
ing his way upward, had to go out with
his ship on tour that would last for a
considerable time. While away, Prin-
cess Marie got the idea to let an anchor
be tattooed on her arm to show her hus-
band on his return that she was true
sailors bride. BY the aid of young
officer, friend of young Valdemar,
tattooer was found, and in the deepest
secrecy the feat was accomplished. On
the upper part of the arm a pretty blue
anchor showed distinctly. at the next
state ball, Princess Marie proudly
slowed herself with this new adorn-
inert. but her mother-in-law, Queen
Louise, was not exactly pleased to see
her daughter-in-law thus adorned.

Economical Translation.

A young man called upon retired

him about studying French. He wished
to learn the language, but could not at
ford to take lessons of regular teach
er, and asked what books would be
suitable to enable him to acquire q
reading knowledge of French.
The old pedagogue fixed him out with
q simple book for translation, a vocab-
ulary and a grammar and left him to
work out the problem for himself. A
few weeks later they met again.
''How are you getting on with your
French?" asked the teacher.
''Oh, first-rate! first-rate! Why, yes

Volubility bears about the same re-
lation to eloquence that soft-solder

1.-The gift Of the CAB" is not to be d.
spised. A fluent ignoramus will often
talk down a well-read man, whose
tongue is but a stammering interpreter
of his thoughts. 1t is said that vul-
gar and ignorant member of de batting
society somewhere in the backwoods of
Kentucky once obtained a complete
victory over gentleman and a
scholar who broke down in an at
tempt to define the meaning of the
word happiness" Happiness, said
mind and tongue there seemed to be no
connection. ''is-is-is-," but what it
was his diftidence would not permit him
to express, and he sat down, blushing
and confused.
Thereupon a voluble backwoodsman,
whose education had been neglected,
but whose self-confidence was unlimit-
ed. took the floor and volunteered
definition. Happiness, Mr. President
said he, lis like a sportive crow situated
on some far distant mountain which the
eager huntsman endeavors in vain, and
to no purpose, to reproach. The happy
man, Mr.. President, reclines beneath
the shadow of some far-spreading and
outrageous tree, and calling his wife
and all her infant prodigy around him,
bids their thoughts inspire to scenes be-
yond the skies-scenes, Mr.. President,
thick sOt with those glorious orbs of the
tournament which it was the lot of the
immortal Newton fust to depreciate and
afterwards to deplore."

There is magic in rounded periods

that they have neither force or peril
nence: that in hundred of them there
is not as much argument as man who
weighs his words before he utters them
could put into one short sentence: but
the public ear is tickled, nevertheless,
with their harmonious cadences, and it
is only when subjected to the review of
sober second thought that they lose
their charm and sink to the level of
mere declamatory clap-trap. Three
