Salvation Army shelters in London.


The Salvation Army shelters make no
claim to anything beyond decent clean
illness and comfort. Outside, the street
lamps burn dimly through the fog. 1t
is bright and light within. Outside, the
wind cuts pitilessly through the thin
garments. The Shelter is always warm.
Outside, the clothing bears too often the
mark of the gutter mud. 1t is always
possible to "wash and be clean" within,
for hot water and soap and towels are
for use of the inmates without extra
charge.
The women desiring lodgings may
come in as early in the afternoon as
they will. Many do come early and sit
about and mend their tatters and gossip
a bit, taking their bowl of soup or mug
of cocoa with as much true neighborli-
ness as enters in other hospitable quar-
ters into the aesthetics of afternoon tea.
Rarely is there heard, either in the
Women's or Mems Shelter, the sound of
quarrels or ribald talk. Those in charge
report but little difficulty in governing
an element that in the streets and alleys
would be almost beyond control.
The warm room, the comfortable meal,
the sense of shelter and respite from
wandering, all have their quieting
influence. And when we add that every
evening the Shelters are made the
centers of an active religious meeting,
we realize that the inmates are not left
to the depression or the excitement of
their own discouraged thoughts. Mary
Lowe Dickinson in Harper's Bazaar.

Indian Courage.

The annals of no country can show
any savage foe so formidable for his
numbers to trained regular troops of the
white race as the American Indian. The
tales of the sepoy rebellion, replete as
they are with heroic achievements of
British soldiers, read like absurd fairy
tales to Indian fighters of our army.
The spectacle, repeated again and again,
of score or so of these Englishmen
riding through as many thousands of
opposing sepoys, disciplined and thor
oughly supplied with the best of fire.
arms, would be a very novel one to
those accustomed to the temper of the
savage of our own continent.
Had Captain Jack, or Joseph, or Geron-
imo, with such warriors as they led,
been the sort of foes to attack the Eng
lish power in India, the history of Delhi
and Lucknow would have been written
in far darker characters on the pages of
English history. Self reliant, intelligent,
fierce in battle, inimitable horsemen,
armed with the modern rifle, our own
Indians have often waged successful
battle with regular troops unsurpassed
in quality and far outnumbering them.
It is doubtful if even the Cossack or
Arab can be compared with them IN
partisan warfare. e.-Harper's Weekly.

How Blood Was Secured.

An anecdote is going the rounds con-
corning the manner in which a well
known leading actor supplied the acci-
dental absence Of a necessary item of
makeup" He was playing Macbeth,
and when he came to the murder scene
he asked in vain for the blood with
which he had intended to imbrue his
hands. After abusing the property man
roundly for his neglect, the actor, struck
with a happy thought, suddenly hit that
functionary on the nose, so that good
supply of crimson fluid was obtained,
and in this the actor bathed his palms.
1t is said that after the performance
there was realistic" conflict between
the ''pro." and the property man in
which more "claret'' was tapped

ORMONDE.

once taken to secure the return to England
of the great horse. President Hugh Web
ster, of the board of agriculture, formed a
syndicate and raised the enormous sum Of
sl75, 200 for the repuchase Of Ormonde.
During the formation of the syndicate
many English breeders and horsemen re-
fused to subscribe because, they said, Or
monde was "roarer" (Which in racing
parlance means that his wind was affected),
and as roaring is said to be hereditary,
these horsemen argued that Ormonde had
left his country for the good of his coun-
try's future racing stock.
Ormonde is bay horse, by Ben dor,
the Derby winner of 1880. Ormonde was
foaled in 1888, started thirteen times,
was never beaten and won the sum of
$125, 900 in stakes and purses. Among the
great races that he captured were the
Derby, the Two Thousand Guineas' Stakes
and the st. Leger. The world famous
jockey, the late Fred Archer, piloted Or
monde to victory in nearly all his races.

The Negro's Hum or.

Among the old time negroes in middle
Georgia was much of a humor very in
teresting. Their speech, by constant
contact with the white mans, which it
sought to initiate, had curtness and
vivacity never heard on large seaboard
and river plantations. In the lightness
OF the negros heart, with an imagina-
tion that never sought to be curbed, his
words and his department often had a
fun as racy as any lover of that article
reasonably could wish to see. Even his
complainings, oftener than otherwise,
were put forth with a resentment so
peculiar as to provoke as well laughter
as sympathy. Witness the following
anecdote of the return to his old master,
not very long ago, of one of his former
slaves after having served another per-
son for year:
"Why, Jim, how happens it that you
quit Perkinsr' asked the gentleman.
"Well, now, Marse Jack, gwine up

Then he joined heartily in the laugh
raised by what had just occurred to him
as being good practical joke.-Colonel

Every Animal is Fond of Bananas.

The leaves of the banana, often six
feet long and two feet wide, are tender,
and the strong winds of the tropics soon
tear them in strips, thereby adding to
their grace and beauty. The banana is

man, are fond of, and the owner, when
he lives in sparsely settled country,
must protect his plantation by fence of
some thorny plant. -Goldthwaite's Geo.
