The American soldier.

To know the American soldier well
you must toll with him over the desert
trail when the sun beats hotly down on
the dry and verdureless earth, and the
dust rises in white clouds that hide the
colump from view, and fills the eyes,
the mustache, the ears, the mouth,
with profanity and vexation. Here is
where his songs and jokes proclaim the
stuff that he is made Of. Then when
you are sent out with him in the dead Of
winter over twenty inches of snow,
your equipments and supplies on bob
sleds, he 1t Is that dismounts time and
again without q murmur, pushing to
help the mules up hill, and repacking
the overturned sled q dozen times in a
day; then after II all digging Ma ho1e
In the snow, and putting up his tent at
night, all the time joking with his
"Bunkie," and ready as ever to steal a
wisp Of hay or handful Of oats for his
shivering horse.
He It Is that jumped into boiling hot
spring to save the life of the daughter
Of private citizen--a deed for which
the citizen, who was rich man, prof
fered the astounding sum of five dollars,
and the government the gold medal of
honor; he that took fiat bottomed boat
out In u heavy sea in Now York harbor
to rescue drowning boy; that lost his
life for his fidelty while attempting to
swim an icy stream with dispatches;
who single handed served field gun
through an action with bullet in his
leg, to hold position; he that you be-
lieve incapable Of anything but "buck-
ing faro" and drinking strong liquors.

Roman wealth.

When l.. Calpurnius Piso was APP
pointed governor Of Macedonia for one
year he drew for his outfit from the pub
lie treasury 5000, 900 sesterces or $780,
600. He did not want the money for
that purpose; everything required by
proconsul was supplied to him by the
province. Piso simply took the money
for himself, and lent 1t out in Rome at
high interest. q. Verres was charged
by Cicero with having robbed Sicily OF
f350,000 in three years, besides many
valuable works of art. He practically
admitted his guilt by retiring from Rome
without attempting any defense. Cic-
ero, when governor Of the poor province
Of Cilicia, found himself the richer in
one year by eco, 900, and he was perhaps
the only proconsul who ever handed
over his surplus to the state.
There can be no doubt that Cicero and
the younger Pliny received large sums
from their clients while those clients
were still living. Balbus is not likely to
have secured the argument Pro Balho'
for mere trif1e, and the gratitude Of
Sicily for tho prosecution Of Verres I'M
doubtedly took very substantial form.
Apart from all such honoraria, it is re-
corded that both Cicero and the younger
Pliny received legacies from clients to
the amount of e170,0O0. Gibbon tells us
on the authority Of Olympiodorus that
several Of the richest senators had an in
come Of 100000 year-without COM
putting the stated provision Of corn and
wine. National Review.

They were evidently rustic couple
on q honeymoon visit to the metropolis
as they stood in the shade of tree in
city hall park.
Laying down his valise and consulting
book of Photographic views, he said:
"This here's the city hall, Clara, and
this splendid building opposite is the
general postoflce. Goshi but their old
city hall looks kinder mean beside that
grand pile Of granite. That's what L
call fine and imposing"
Excuse me, young man." said
rudy faced, white whiskered gentle
man who stood beside them tanning
himself With his straw hat, ssyou mis-
take size for beauty. The city hall is
an almost perfect sample of its type Of
architecture, while the postoffice is
composite monstrosity, and not the only
one in the neighborhood. Why, sir,
look merely at those warty pillars that
run all the way round from the side
walk to the first story-they alone
would spoil any building. They remind
me Of one of those clipped dogs with
tufts sticking out here and there on
legs and tail. Pshawi You haven't a
barn at home that isn't prettier."
Then the old gentleman put on his
hat, hoisted sun umbrella and stalked
of, while the young man and woman
from the country gazed after him and
drew long breaths.--New York Herald.

rhe roiir of suIcids.

The sin of suicide Is not more evident
than Is It's folly. In the vast majority
Of cases the ills which provoke this des-
perate act derive their force not from
the actual misery they inflict, but from
nervous apprehensiveness They are the
shadows Of clouds which threaten, but
may and often do pass away.
II was one of the cruel ironies OF fata
that the suicide of M. Prevost-P aradol,
who had stultifed his most brilliant
writings by accepting a post-that OF
minister from France to Washington
under the Second Empire, took place just
as the Liberal cause, with which his
name had always been associated, was
on the eve Of triumph.
When Mary Wollstonecraft, deserted
by her American lover, paced up and
down Putney bridge saturating her gar
men.s with the rain 80 that they might
not prevent her from sinking In the
water her life seemed indescribably
without a ray Of hope. Yet
this very hour Of despair proved to be
the turning point In her history, and
from it dated the truest bliss she had
ever known--a period of welded happi-
ness and joyous work. And so with
''the marvellous boy, the sleepless soul
that persisted In his PRIDE" Chatterton.
He poisoned himself in his wretched
garnet at the very time when the feet Of
one who would have relieved his pow
erty were turned toward the street In
which he died. Boston Transcript.

The Austrian army takes tho lead In
tho matter of suicides. From 1875 to
1887 q yearly average Of 1879 suicides is
recorded for every 100000 effective
troops. In 1889 the number was $40.
Death by suicide represents fifth part
of the whole mortality Of tho Austrian
army. No disease is more deadly. The
Germans report about half the number;
the Italian army about one-third; the
French army about one-fourth; the Eng
lish army in the home service about one
sixth; the rate in the Russian army Is
nearly the Same, while In the Spanish
army 1t is least Of all.
There are some curious facts about
these suicides. In the European ARMIES,
especially In Austria, 1t is the young sol
diers who kill themselves during the
first month OF their service. Suicides
are the most frequent among the cavalry
and infantry, and In the latter among
the soldiers who are accused and await
ing trial.
The most frequent method Is shooting,
though hanging and drowning are fire.

The mounted soldiers hang themselves
by their horse brides. The Algerian
soldiers almost always shoot themselves

Arabs think 1t is infamous to mutilate
the head. In Austria third Of the sui
cides are attributed to q distaste for

Some years ago at q hawking party
on Salisbury Plain, falcon was flown
at carrion crow, which 1t struck after
long fight, and the two birds came
down like parachute to the ground.
The party galloped up and were about
to dismount to take up the falcon, when
the mate Of the crow suddenly de-
scended from a great height with such
velocity that the wings made a whixxing
sound like that Of . falling stone and
dashed onto the falcon. Tho force Of
the blow struck the hawk from It's
quarry, which was uninjured by the
grappie In the air, and both crows few
Of unhurt into o copse near. ID this
case the crow clearly understood TIE
cause Of the danger and the possibility
Of rescue when the falcon was on the
ground and least able to act on the Of
fensive.
But the courage and devotion which
prompted 1t to overcome the natural
dread which the falcon inspires, and the
added terror Of party Of mounted men
in hot pursuit, place the crows claim to
admiration on a very high Level. Lon

Astronomy OF tho Ancient Egyptians.

Astronomy OF the Ancient Egyptians.
We find In the table at the Ramesseum
distinct references to the bull, the lion
and the scorpion, and It is also clearly
indicated that at that time the star
Sirius rose heliacally at the beginning
Of the rise Of the Nile.
The word heliacally requires q little
explanation. The ancients, who had no
telescopes and had to use their horizon
as the only scientific instrument which
they possessed, were very careful in deter
mining the various conditions In which
star could rise. For instance, II a star
were rising at the same time as the sun
was rising, 1t was said to rise cosmically,
but unless certain very obvious precau-
lions were taken the rising star would
not be seen in consequence of the pres
ence Of daylight. 1t Is quite clear that
II we observe star rising In the dawn
II VIII get more and more difficult to
observe the nearer the time Of sunrise Is
approached.
Therefore, what the ancients did was
to determine time before sunrise In the
early dawn at which the star could be
very obviously and clearly seen to rise.
The term 'heliacal rising" was coined to
represent q star rising visibly In the
dawn, therefore, before the sun. Cen
orally throughout Egypt the sun was
supposed to be something like ten de-
grees below the horizon when q star was
stated to rise heliscally. Nineteenth

Not long ago was In New York

when tall and elegantly dressed lady
entered and asked to see some cloakings
She told the clerk she wished TO match
a cloak and had no sample, but she
thought she'd know the stuff when. she
sow It. Tint poor clerk pulled down
roll upon roll OF goods for her inspec-
tion, and at length abe found what she
( wished.

quired.
"Five dollars, madam" he replied.
Every we'll; don't wish much--just
enough to finish cuff on my cloak.
Let me see--five dollars--I think quar-
ter's worth will be plenty"
The clerk fumbled In his pocket mo
ment, produced quarter, put 1t on the
cloth and cut out exactly the size Of the
quarter, and before the astonished wom-
an could say word he put her quarter
with tho piece Of cloth and sent 1t to the
desk. She waited for the basket to re-
turn and then quickly left the store.
The clerk spoiled the cloth. but he
still has his place. New York Recorder.

Iempie OF Diana, at Ephesus. The sta

q celebrated Athenian sculptor; 1t stood
sixty feet high and it is said to have ex-
hibited marvellous representation Of
the grandeur, state and dignity which
are naturally associated with human
ideas OF the awful majesty Of the liking
Of gods and men," indeed, according to
an ancient Greek epigraln, 1t seemed
that either Phidias had assembled to
heaven to sketch Jupiter, or Jupiter had
descended to earth to sit to Phidias.
The god was clad in a robe Of solid
gold, garnished with lilies and other
flowers, and four golden lions supported
his footstool. The throne was Of cedar,
inlaid with ebony, gold, ivory and pre-
cious stones, with sculptured representa-
tions of the destruction of Niobe's chill
dren, the contests of Hercules and other
exploits of the heroic age; at the back
of the throne were the Hours and the
Graces; at each corner a figure OF Vic
tory danced upon Sphinx. who was
