the fellows on the inside expect to

Attle difficulty in the family of al

about as follows:

She had just received her diploma

they had hardly exchanged afeo-

man had just fallen out of a three

for whom a physician was required

to obtain his instruments, butwhen
he reached the scene of the acci-

A LEVEL HEAD.


The Advantage Of Presence OF Mind IN
an Emergency.
During the late strike ON the New Yorb
Central Railroad. the militin were ordered
to be in readiness In case Of riot, but they
were not called ont.
In an interview, Gov. Hin said the troops
were not to be called upon except in case of
an emergency. The emergency had not
arisen, therefore they would not be ordered
out He remarked that this was the first
great strike with which he had had ex-
periencc, and he did not propose to lose his
head; the only point at which there had
been serious trouble was at Syracuse, and
there deputy-sheriff had lost his head and
precipitated an encounter.
The strike continued several weeks, and
there was riotous action at various points
along the road, but the civil authorities
were able to cope with it without calling on
the militia.
The test of mans real ability comes when
an emergency arises which makes hasty
call on his good judgment and discretion.
The man who retains his presence of mind,
maintains his equipoise and exercises sound
discretion at such critical junctures, is to
be relied on and will be put to the front.
Men with level heads have the staying
qualities which do not falter in the face Of
danger. Otis A. Cole, Of Kinsman, O.,

THE LAST cANTINiERE.

Dtsappearance from the French Armv of
Picturesque Character.
The French army has for many years
past retained feature in its personnel

to the thirst of those who were wounded.
But at last even the French have given
up this picturesque character. There
has been only one cantiniere on the
army list for some time, and the other
day she was retired by order of the
Minister of War. Nine. Vialar is one
OF the last survivors of class whose
feats are unwritten in history but whose
memories are cherished by the French
private. Her form is still sturdy and
her features still preserve the solidity
of healthy middle age, but she is reallv

service in the Crimean war. Nine. Vialar

winning the respect and gratitude of
every man in the regiment to which she
was attached. 1t is owing to the inter-
cession OF her old comrades and officers
that the project of pension for her has
been agitated. The French soldiers
never called Nine. Vialar madam"
but the tenderer la Mere" and even
went so far as to treat with great re-
spect her inevitable cat, for Nine. vialar
was never sufficiently unsexed by her
singular occupation to lose her feminine
love for pets. The cat was always a
