The fact that you know the Americans
are superior Is what vexcs you"
1t was n keen homo thrust and Miss

however, strengthened her resistance.

Sir William Howe should have remained
In New York Then at the proper time
he could and should have gone up the
Hudson valley and formed junction
with the forces OF Burgoyne before the
disastrous battle of Saratoga. Had this
plan, the one dcsioel by the British
ministry, been carried out, fatal
wedge would have separated the colon
les into two parts, and the people OF
New England on the one hand and tho
people Of the middle or southern states
on the other hand would surely have
been subducd."

chance was not the controlling infu-

The recorded emoluments of these
Irish informers were enormous. As to
their indirect profits it would be idle to
speculate. One Reynolds, spy of very
secondary importance, received on
March 4, 1893, sum of e5.000 from the
secret service money. and was further
gratified with a secret pension of some
hundreds year. He afterward OBJ
tanned the Office of British postmaster
at Lisbon, the enoluments of which
amounted during his four years of serv-
ice to nearly $4,000. He was subse-
quently appointed to more than one
well paid consulship, and at length, re-
firing in middle life from the public
service of his country, he chose Paris as
his final place of abode, and enjoyed his
pension to the day of his death, having
drawn from the exchequer of hated
government not less in all than e45 ,000
Armstrong is said to have received
close on e30, 900 for his information; and
Magan, who took up the business as a
needy barrister, left over e14, 900 to his
sister. Higgins, who was not even an
informer at first hand, but species of
information agent or spy keeper, began
life as a pauper and ''sham squire"
and after many years of free and easy
living in Dublin, maintaining a reputa-
ton for that liberal hospitality so neces-
sary to his success in his profession, died
worth no less than 100000 Very few
were the real squires or peers of Ireland
for the matter of that who left so con-
siderable sum of money behind them
in the early days of the present century.

have considerable advantage over their
civilized rivals. In the Chilean Andes
the naturalist Tschudi made the ac-
quaintance of creole farmer who con-
fessed that he had experimental for sew
eral years before he succeeded in cap
turing live alpaca.
He had initiated the traps of the In
dians, their method of fixing them in
the sand of the river banks, their pre-
caution in obliterating the traces of their
footsteps, but all in vain till an Indian
renegade revealed the secret-namely,
that the alpacas select their drinking
places where there is an audible ripple
in the current of the river, perhaps for
the same reason that cows prefer a
brook to pond and running spring to
a sluggish creek.
The murmuring of the stream seemed
to suggest the idea of purer and cooler
water, and where the current was slow
the Indians contrived to produce ripple
by an artificial obstruction.-San Fran

A Crooked Railway.

There are few more interesting en-
gineering achievements than the little
narrow gauge railroad running to Cara
cas-, the capital of Venezuela, from its
seaport, La Guayra. The distance be-
tween the two cities, as the crow flies,
supposing for the moment that he could
fly through the mountains, is only six
miles, but the railway connecting them
is twenty-three miles in length, and con-
sequently twists and turns on itself
The road runs in Zigzag fashion up the
mountain to an altitude of about 5000
feet above its starting point and then de-
scends some 1 800 feet in the same man.
ner into the valley of Caracas.
twenty-five thousand rails were used
in laying the track, and of these over
$4,000 are bent. 1t is jestingly said that
the engineer almost died of broken
heart because he could invent no excuse
for bending the remaining 1000. He
did his best, however, and no one who
has to ride over the line and find him
self shaken at every one Of the 346 sharp
twists which the track makes will find
it in his heart to condemn the poor man
for not making perfect job. Two pas
senger trains pass over the road daily,
leaving La Guayra at $50 in the morn
ing and at $3.50 in the afternoon, making
the journey in two hours and half.
This is speed, exclusive of stops, of
not quite ten miles an hour.-Pearson's
Weekly.

A Sad Memory.

They talked of home and family mat
tiers, baby's new clothes, papa's trip on
the road and mammals S visit to her moth
er, while every one listened in a most in
teresting manner. The trend of the
conversation showed that the wife and
baby were not going to the depot with
the happy father, as he declared it would
be nonsense. But as the car neared JEFF
ferson street, where he was to leave
them, every one wondered all to himself
how they would part and whether he
would kiss her in front of the crowd.
They were not long in doubt.
When Desplaines street was reached
the drummer arose, caught up his baby
and kissing it goodby placed it beside
its mother. He stopped down to kiss
his wife, and the loving woman placed
an arm about his neck as she said,
"Now you'll write often, won't your
Just then a morose individual on the op-
posite side of the car, who had evidently
been absorbed in his paper, glanced over
the top of it and remarked in the driest
of tones, Il lost a watch doin that

French and German Politeness.

In England, as the titles of nobility
are limited and cannot be usurped by
fictitious characters without detection,
they confer a degree of consideration
upon the possessor far superior to what
is observed in foreign countries, where
they are abundant to an extreme and
where every needy adventurer can as
sumo them. A German baron, in de-
rision, on a race course few days since
observed to French marquis that the
title Of marquis was very common in
France, 81" added he, shave a marquis
in my kitchen" "And l." retorted the
Frenchman, who felt insulted, 'have a
German baron in my stable" This
repartee was particularly happy. it being
we'll known that German grooms are as
common out of their country as are
French cooks. 1t affords just lesson.

Live 1t Down.

The young clerks eyes flashed as he
read an article in the morning papers.
1t was an outrageous attack upon the
gentleman at the head of his department
for a course of action which was repre-
sented as both base and cowardly. All
the correspondence relating to the affair
had passed through the young mans
hands, so he knew that the published
statements were false and most damag-
ing to the reputation of his beloved chief.
Carrying the paper to the gentleman
assailed he asked if he might write a re-
ply. The elder man read the paragraphs
calmly, smiled and shook his head.
"What will you do" the clerk asked.
s'Live it down." was the reply, "as l
have done so many other calumnies.
Talking back is the most futile and un-
dignified exertion in the world. If you
succeed in cutting up one falsehood
each part will begin to wriggle against
you. Let it alone and it will die of
starvation. Youths Companion.
