The Right Kind Of Heroism.

The "Historical Records OF the
Forty.third Light Infantry, thai
famous regiment which played a most
Important part in English warfare
during the last quarter Of the eight
zenith century and the early part Of
the nineteenth, contains a stirring
Incident Of prompt action which
averted a tragedy. Worn out with a
hard march, the brigade under Capt
Lloyd approached the convent at
B~eneyente, where the cavalry and re-
serve still remained, hoping for
shelter.
They were disappointed. The con-
vent was occupied by several thou.
sand infantry, and the lower galleries
were so densely packed with horses
Of the ca airy and artillery that it
was hardly possible for a man to make
bis way among them.
Two Of the officers stood looking in
at the dubious prospect through the
single door that gave ingress and
egress. A sudden cry of alarm burst
from the lips Of one,
"Look there!" he cried, pointing
over the backs OF the horses.
At that moment n OF the inside
wooden shutters burst into flames,
writes a contributor to Youths Com
panion. H%orri1ed, the officers looked
at the burning shutter and realized
the hopelessness of the situation. 1t
would be impossible to get the e, 600
men and horses out, and they must
stand by and see thei: comrades
perish miserably. There was no
water near, and if there was, how
could they get at the fire through
those densely crowded horses?
The fames crept upward toward
the rafters.
GOOD heavens! Something must
be done!!" cried Capt. lloyd. And
then, with a motion to those outside
to be quiet, the brave Captain leaped
on the back OF the nearest horse, and,
stepping from back to back of the
animals, a to the blazing shutter,
tore it from its hinges. and pitched
1t from the window. Then he made
his way back to the door In the same
way as before.
So quickly vas the act performed
that eve the horses were scarcely
disturbed. The building was saved,
and there was no panic, which would
have been as disastrous as the flames.
The Captains eyebrows and mustache
were scorched, hut that was all.
"And they'll grow again" he said
with a laugh.

MATRIMONY
Some trssons why Yankee Women Have
Long Outnumbered the Men.

Some Hessons Why Yankee Women Have
Long Outnumbsred the Men.
The excess of women over men
mas long been a feature of the popu-
Iation statistics Of Massachusetts,,
aud since Mormonism Is not permit
ted to flourish In that progressive
State the natural effect OF this fem
mime surplus has been al unusual
number Of old maids. The cause,
says the New York Press, is probably
Horace G~reeley's advice to young
men on the subject Of going Vest.
The Massachusetts, young man has
been going West yer since, but we
decline to believe that 1t is his fault
that the Massachusetts young woman
has not gone West with him. She
stayed behind, not that she loved the
Massachusetts, young man less, but
that she loved Massachusetts more,
especially Boston. But as the Massa-
chusetts young woman who did not
go West with the young man Of Hor-
ace Greeley's day became an old maid
she missed the young man. She was
left to lavish the wealth Of affe ction
upon cats, birds and other pets. And
thus 1t happened that a Massachu-
sets old maid, having nobody else to
leave her fortune to, recently left 1t
to her pet cat.
There are those who think the
tendency Of our time Is toward a re-
duction in the ratio of marriages to
the population of the manageable.
In one sense this is a result Of the
continual improvement in the indie
pendenCe and general social condition
of women. Not only are they no
longer the slaves OF men, but they
are not obliged to tie themselves to
men In order to get a living. As
civilization increases the number OF
occupations In which skill and tact
and passive endurance make success,
women, being often superior in these
respects, take possession OF a greater
number of places and crowd men out.
The tables Q to be turned against
the inquiry of Miss Mona Card, 'Is
Marriage a Failure?" This question
caused q great deal Of discussion 10
print a few years ago. II 1t Is to be
answered in the affirmative-which
heaven forfend-then IL must also be
declared, on the strength of the lat
est returns from Massachusetts,, that
S ngleness is a failure too. This leaves
the relative merits of marriage and
OF singlcness Just where they ere be-
fore Miss Mona Card dared TO prick
The alleged bubble Of matrimony with
her pen. II an old maid who died
rich was, nevertheless, so circum-
scribed in the wealth of affection and
home life as to be obliged to endow a
cat, what can be said Of the success
Of old maids who never get rich; wen
in money?

In the summer OF 1890, a brigh'
italian girl came to New York ant
occurred employment as a servant
EavinR tn view the saving Of monel
fuouph to pay the passage OF her par
tnts from Italy TO this more fayoret
land. A brief experience showed ne
that at the low wages she was able
TO obtain it would be a long time be
fore she could hope to see her parents
here, and she decided TO adopt the
yarb OF a man, in order that she
might obtain a mans wages. She
did so and readily found employment
On a railroad which was being BULL
in Pennsylvania
Despite the b!istering Of her hands
and the hardships of the labor, she
toiled faithfully for months, living
by herself in a small hut not far from
Hazelton, and as much as possible
avoiding association with her fellow
laborers, by whom the supposed
effeminate young man was not held
In high esteem.
She had nearly accumulated the
amount Of money necessary to bring
the PARENTS to America, when a
former neighbor OF the family in the
old country was given employment
on the railroad, and placed in the
same gang with the strong.hearted
young woman. He Immediately c
ognized her, and the fact OF her dis.
guise was reported to the foreman;
but the latter, on hearing her IA
thetic story. did not order her dis
charge. He simply consented that
she should go on with the work she
had been pursuing, and at last re-
ports she was merrily welding the
pick and shovel, happy in the assur-
ance that her parents would soon be
with her.-Good Housekeeping.

Do Learn to Carve.

There is one accomplishment that

where In the fowls anatomy the
joints were located. Young men are

and it was on that occasion that | re-

homily.
There was a young man present
who was invited 10 carve an ordinary
baked fowl. His face flushed as soon
as he took the carver's position, and
beads of perspiration broke out on his
forehead. Then he flOurished the
carving-knife as if it had been a
broa password and made a luugc at the
fowl. The knife's edge turned on
the chickens breast bone and the
bird careened into his neighbours lap.
This he took as a joke, and called
'chicky! chicky." with pallid lips,
while he was restoring it to its plate.
Another lunge. and his collar button
flew off and the released collar stood
up and encircled his head like an OK
bow. He continued to wrestle with
that chicken until one cuff fell init
