HISTORIC BRITISH HOMES.

Mansion Three Centuries Old to Which
Gordon Cumming Took His Bride.
Violation Hail. Lord Middleton's seat
in Motifs, where Sir William and Lady
Gordon-C Cumming spent the first days OF
their honeymoon, says the Pail Mail
Gazette, is one of the most perfect
specimens of Glizabethan domestic
architecture in the country. 1t took
eight years to build it, and it was com
pleted in 1888 by Sir f. Willoughby, the
material used being Ancaster stone
brought from Lincolnshire
horses and exchanged for the coal found
son 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 hum
bred and fifty acres, pleasantly undu-
lating and well wooded-a fine avenue
of lofty lines leading up to the halls
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 it,
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
Motifs 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 edifice consid-
erably smaller than Altyre house, is
surrounded by rich agricultural land.
Adjoining the house is the old burylng
place of the Gordon-Cumming 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 hearty welcome from the
tenantry and country people.

IN THE REGULAR ARMY.

Certain Things Which Detract from the
Delights of Martial Career.
The young man who enlists in the
regular army with the idea that he is
going to have fine time soon awalles
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 naidens
from the relentless uplifted tomahawl'
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 it 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 bust
ness at that. If a force is sent out to
bring in to the reservation band of
raiders, it may mean few hours or it
may mean days of hard riding and SUI
fering all sorts of inconvenience. 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 suf-
fer for days and days without their
tooth or nail brush, and perhaps not
see a 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 finger-bowls. Then again the
officers have 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.

HE REMEMBERED.
After Forty Years Man Repays Kind
with Interest.

After Forty Years a Man Repays Kind
ness with Interest.
Forty years ago a lad came to this
city from the rural regions bearing a
note to a retail shop keeper, who was
asked to try to find him something to do
in New York. The retailer took up the
lads case and got him a job in a work
shop, where he stayed for years, or I'M
til he reached manhood, after which he
struck out west and there found a
chance of going into business for him
self. He prospered in life as the years
sped along; he won wealth by the time
he had reached middle age; he rose to
distinction among his fellows; he be-
came a powerful person in his state,
and for years past he stood among the
notables of the country. In all these
years, says the New York Sun, he had
never again seen the retailer who spent
ten minutes, forty years since, in find
ing him a job in workshop in North
William street. a few days ago when
the rich notable, who is now over fifty
years of age, was making visit to this
city, he determined to hunt up the re-
taller who had taken pains to give him
"a start in life. lie found him in the old
retail shop, doing business in the old
way, neither rich nor notable. As
might be expected, the two graybeards
did not know each other when they met,
and it turned out that the retailer had
forgotten that he ever rendered a slight
service to a country lad forty years ago.
But the eminent man told him of it,
assured him that he owed all his sue
cess in life to the kindly act that had
given him start in his youth, and gave
expression to his gratitude for the act
in way that will relieve the aged re-
taller from worldly cares hereafter.

NARY AN ARMY WORM.
The Old Farmer Was No Raw Recruit II
He Was HOMEGROWN.

He Was HOMEGROWN.
He was a gay young officer and I'm
Gle Sam was in great luck to have such
nice hired man, says the New York
Evening World. The car was crowded
and he had to set his bright, new uni
form right down beside a dingy, old
farmer looking chap.
''Well my avuncular relative, said he,
speaking up so that the passengers
might have chance to join in the
laugh, what promise does he Of whom
one touch makes us all akin hold forth
touching the particular of farinaceous
cereals?"
The passengers (those who under
stood him and those who didn't snick-
cred.
Flows the wheat crop, eh?'' replied
the dingy parsonage. ''Fust rate, fust
rate"
as 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 of
the cantharis vittata?"
The passengers giggled.
"Seen any potato bugs, eh?" said the
rustic. 'You bet; seen lots of potato
