An Onicer in the ,IiIitia--

did 1t ever occur 70 you, said West
Point graduate and a national guards
man the other day, what it means to be
a popular officer in the national guard?
Something quite different, assure you,
from being popular officer in the regu-
lar army. Why? For this reason: In
the army, if an officer takes care of his
men, sees that they get their clothing
and pay promptly, looks out for their IN
terests in case they are so unfortunate
as to be locked up in the guardhouse,
no matter how strict disciplinarian he
may be, or how he may make the men
stand around, he will be popular with
them But here in the guard the rela-
donship between officer and men is en-
tirely changed. The rank and file, who
are men that need no supervision of their
personal affairs, expect their officers 10
be good fellows socially.
AN officer need not be strict disci-
plinarian to be very popular. but it is
only fair to say that the majority of ma
tional guard officers, especially in some
of our crack commands, have Just as
thorough an understanding of military
requirements as regular army officers.
Everything else being equal. therefore.
the popularity of the men may be COM
pared as that of man among employees
or among his club equals. l mention
these facts to show how easily regular
army officer could fail to succeed in the
guard, and, vice versa, how impossible it
would be for a guard officer, whose easy
going society ways are an essential part
of his success in his rank, to make ID
name for himself in the army."-Brook-
lyn Eagle.

YIcToRIA's GROWN.

The Retail Jeweler.
The crown of the Queen of Great Brit
ain and Ireland, made in 1888, has been
estimated to be of the value of $780,

with six others and eight emeralds. Be-
tween the two great sapphires are orna-
ments containing 2S6 diamonds. Above
the band are eight sappnires surmounted
by eight diamonds, and eight festoons
containing 100 diamonds. In the front
of the crown is the ruby given to the
black Prince by Pedro, King of Castillo
This is sci in Maltese cross, and form
ing the cross are rs large diamonds.
Three others crosses, containing 1856
diamonds, are around the upper part of
the crown. Between the four crosses
are four ornaments with four rubies in
the center, and containing respectively
"a, Sc, IS and 81 diamonds. From the
Maltese crosses rise four arches, COM
posed of oak leaves and acorns, the
leaves containing 729 diamonds. The
80 acorns are each of single pearl and
are set in cups made of 81 diamonds.
Above the arches stands the mound,
containing 548 diamonds, and above the
mound is the cross, containing very
large sapphire, four very large and lO0
smaller diamonds.

An Embarrassing Predicament of q Man.
chester tEngland) shipowner.
A good story is told of a shipowner of
Liverpool, Quaker named Jacob, who
prided himself on his honesty. He
would not have told downright false
hood to save the value of his best craft.
Jacob suffered one of his best ships to
set sail from Calcutta for home without
any insurance upon either vessel or
cargo. At length he became uneasy.
He was confident his ship had encount-
safety. In this strait he went to his
friend Isaac.
He called him Friend" though Isaac
was one of the children of Israel. Friend
Isaac" he said, 81 would like for thee to
insure my ship which is atsea should
have done it before, but have carelessly
neglected it. If thee canst have the pol
icy signed all ready for delivery at 3
o'clock on the afternoon of tomorrow, l
will send and get it, and send thee the
money in full"
Isaac did not seem to be anxious to in
sure the ship, but, being told that no
unfavorable intelligence had been heard
from her, he said he would have the pol
icy made out to take effect on and after
8 3o'clock of the following day, but to
cover the ship and cargo from leaving
India. Early on the following morning
Jacob received message by the hand
of captain just arrived to the effect
that his ship was stranded and her cargo
lost. This was very unfortunate.
Should friend Isaac happen to hear
the news before the policy was made
out he would not make it out at all, or
if it was made out and not signed he
would not sign it. What was to be done?
Jacob wanted to act honestly. 1t would
not be right to let Isaac go on and make
out the policy under such circumstances.
Finally he hit upon plan. He sum-
moned his confidential clerk and said:
"Tell friend Isaac that have heard from
my ship, and if the policy is not signed
he need not sign it." The clock was
close upon the hour of when the clerk
arrived at Isaac's Office. Friend Jacobs
message was delivered; the ship had
been heard from, and if the policy was
not signed he need not sign it.
81 think am in season to save it."
the clerk said. mo, sir" answered
Isaac promptly and emphatically. In
truth the policy of insurance had not
been signed, for the insurer had been in
doubt. When Isaac heard the message
he judged at once that the ship was safe
and that Jacob sought to save the heavy
item Of premium he had agreed to pay.
mo, sir" he said, 'you are not in time.
1t is past 3 o'clock, the policy is signed;
/ will go and get it."
He slipped out and hastily finished and
signed the policy, and having dried the
ink he brought the document to the
clerk, demanding in return the sum
which had been agreed upon. The money
was paid and the policy was taken home
to friend Jacob, who received it very
gladly. The end can be readily im-
agined. Manchester England) Times.

HIS THUMB WEIGHS A POUND.

A Harlem young lady religiously in
clined, applied for class in Sunday
school few weeks ago, and the super
intendent promptly placed her in charge
of that doubtful honor-the Infant
Glass.
The new teacher went on pretty well
until she ventured on the thin ice known
as general questioning"
"Now, children" she said, with that
extremely vivacious manner which is
popularly supposed to fascinate young
children, "what did Moses do?"
The infant mind worked on the prob
lem for few moments in silence.
"Come dears," said the young teacher,
encouragingly, ''some one tell me what
Moses did"
A very small boy on the idgety back
row seemed to be struggling with re-
ply.
"What is it, Willie?" urged the teach
er, encouragingly.
"Hith thumb weighed pound"
"What?" asked the astonished teacher.
"My mariner says So"
'Says what, Willie?" demanded the
perplexed teacher, while the class stop
ped idgeting and listened intently.
"She says every time Moses puts hith
thumb On the scales it weighs pound"
"Who is Moses, Willie?"
"He'th our butcher, mith.'

Meat and Water Dit Gives Strength.


Sir Francis Head tried the diet of the
Pampas Indians, which consists of the
flesh of mares, for these savages eat
neither bread. fruit nor vegetables. He
says:
After l had been riding three or four
months, and had lived on beef and water.
l found myself in a condition which can
only describe by saying that l felt that no
exertion could kill me, although con-
stantly arrived so completely exhausted
that could not speak; yet few hours
sleep upon my saddle ON the ground al
ways SO completely restored me that for
a week could daily be upon my horse
before sunrise, could ride till two or
three hours after sunset, and have really
tired ten or twelve horses a day. This
will explain the immense distances which
people in South America are said to ride,
which l am confident could only be done
on beef and water.
