General Buffers Courage.

After Lincoln's assassination General
Butler occupied suite of rooms on the first
aoor of Wizards hotel in Washington.
One afternoon the general and his secreta
ry, Mr.. Batchelder, were seated at a table
near the window Of one of the rooms, when
Mr.. Batchelder noticed that large crowd
had collected and were gazing at and max
Ing comments on the general, who was in
plain view from the street. 1t having been
common report that not only the lives of
Lincoln and Seward, but of Grant and But
Ter were to be sacrificed, Mr.. Batchelder be
came nervous and finally got up and pulled
down the blinds.
The general looked up and said: What's
the matter, Batchelderi Why are you pull
Ing down the blinds"
"Oh," said Mr.. Batchelder, ~ thought it
was getting rather late"
Nonsense, Batchelder," said the general
Put them up again"
But, general" said Mr.. Batchelder,
there is great crowd outside the window
and there is no telling what violence they
may attempt"
General Butler snorted contemptuously.
LET them" he said, and seeing that his
young secretary had the seat nearer the
window, land will change seats with you,
SC there will be no danger. ."-Exchange.

Strong and Weak Spelling.

Speaking in a broad and general way, and
Idmitting that every one is likely to mis-
pell word of the English language at
iome time in his life, spoilers may be di-
'ided into two classes-the strong spoilers"
md the weak spoilers" What "strong
pelling" means may be illustrated by the
photographed maxim and practice of an
Ecelent gentleman whois now dead His
Tlln was, Never misspell word for want
If putting in enough letters" Acting on
his principle, be spelled girl gearle, do doe
Ind get gette.
This trait would seem to indicate lib
ral disposition, and this gentleman was
certainly very literally minded man. His
! strong spelling" did not prevent him from
Erving the public acceptably in several ca
.acities.
Another strong speller always insisted
( llpon writing the word perhaps" thus, per-
hapse. Though he was frequently remon-
strated with and repeatedly told that there
was no final on the word, he continued to
spell it that way.
A thoroughly "strong speller' always
seems to be accorded certain sympathy
and even admiration by those who ordina-
lily spell correctly, while weak speller" is
always laughed at. What weak spelling"
means may be illustrated by the case of a
gentleman who recently wrote "enthusi-
lsm" thus, entheusam, and who generally
spells Suggest" sojest.
The same gentleman is known to have
spelled penalty pelenty, but popularity
Of his case is that he never mispronounces
word and always appears in conversation
what he certainly is, cultivated gentle
man.-Youth's Companion.

Dress In the Middle Ages.

AS to dress in medieval Europe plain
leather and wooden served for all ranks,
except on splendid ceremonials. Examine
the figures of the knights on the floor of
the antechapel in the Temple church in
London. The originals of those forms were
not brothers of the order or bound to pow
erty. They were the proudest and most
powerful of the English peers. Yet their
armor is without ornament save the plain
device on the shield. The cloak is the
lightest and simplest. The heavy sword
hangs from leather belt, fastened with an
ordinary harness buckle AS those knights
lie there, so they moved when they were
alive, and when hard blows were going
they had an ample share of them.
No fact of history is more certain than
that the peasants born on the great baronies
looked up to those lords of theirs with real
and reverent affection-very strange If one
party in the contract had nothing but hard
ship and the other was an arbitrary tyrant.
Custom dies hard, and this feeling of feudal
loyalty has fingered into our own times
with very little to support it.-Froude's
Oxford Address

You know how it CRATES on your finer
sensibilities to be laughed at to your face,
especially when the laugh is of the harsh,
unpolished type. And you know one or
more persons who are possessed of such a
laugh and such a disposition to use it.
Well, there is such person in this town.
He is very well educated man, too, and is
especially good in the languages. Not long
ago he was talking to mild hammered lit
tie woman who had asked him question
about a French sentence. He asked her to
repeat it. She did so.
"Ha hap he laughed. "Ha, hal Haw,
haw, haw!" and the little woman blushed.
"What is it?" she asked very much en-
barrassed.
"Haw, haw-I-haw, haw-was laughing
.-haw, hawai- your very bad-haw, haw
-pronunciation-ha haw''-
"Haw, haw, hawl" she interrupted sud-
denly. "Haw, hawl ha, ha, ha, hal" and
she kept it up as loud as she could until he
began to get red in the face and feel embar-
rassed himself.
"What is It'll" he exclaimed when she
gave him the chance.
"Haw, hawy" she responded uproarious-
ly; II was-haw, haw-laughing-haw
hawaii your-haw, haw-very bad-haw,
haw-manners-haw hawl Good morn
ing" and she turned her back on him and
hasn't spoken to him since.-Detroit Free

What is the use of worrying at what
angle chair stands in the room, SO long as

known poor tired woman to walk up

afternoon. Was it worth whilel Hardly.
True. there are some people who are never
so happy as when they are miserable, and
are never so content as when they are find

Marriages of Consanguinity.

DR.. Regnault, in paper read before the
French Association for the Advancement
Of Science at Pau, observed that there are
two varieties of consanguinity. In the
first, two near blood relations married.
This has been prohibited at all times and
In nearly all nations. To the second, the
customary intermarriage of the natives Of
district, he applied the term topograph-
ical consanguinity. In certain races in
North America, Australia and elsewhere
this is forbidden.
DR.. Regnault sees traces Of this practice
In the civilized world. The more the in
habitants of district intermarry, the more
severe are they against the intermarriage
OF blood relations. This is seen in remote
villages. On the other hand, in towns
where the citizens can and do readily mar
ry elsewhere, they trouble little about the
marriage Of cousins. In feudal times tray
cling was very difficult. The commonalty
had to marry natives Of their own district.

The Leaflets Were Popnlar.

There is a story Of an officer in command
Of troopship who, having embraced a
somewhat sensational form Of religious be-
lief himself, was active in distributing
tracts setting forth these views among his
men. To his extreme qualification these
leaflets were received with thankfulness,
and even asked for. SO great indeed was
the run" on these special publications
that the amateur missionary's stock was
soon exhausted, and he had to fall back
upon a collection Of less exciting religious
literature.
These tracts are not equal to the old
ones" remarked the officer as he dealt
them out to the sergeant. II dare say the
men find the difference" YES, sir, indeed
they do" was the prompt reply. There
never was such good paper for pipelights
as the first lot made; them others amt to
be named with them. Manchester Times

If the frieze of the Parthenon be carefully
examined, it will be found how resolutely
the figures of men and horses are kept sub
ject to the dominant motive OF ornament.
1t is not merely collection of statues or a
sculptured narrative. That the sculptor
had the power of realism who can doubt in
the presence of masterpieces of Greek statu-
aryf But he possessed the higher power
of subordinating parts to the whole, that
power which is the result Of n faculty, as
yet underlined, corresponding to the faculty
of music.
The frieze was instinctively recognized
by Greek architects as the proper place for
ornament; the name it bore with them,
Zophorus, the subject OF life marked it out
as the field for display of living pageantry;
artistic instinct forbade that it should be
80 used irrespectively Of the general archi.
tectural effect. Soin that perfect symphony
of form, the Parthenon frieze, though each
limb and fold Of drapery is true, everything
is made to serve the general harmony, like
chords in professional music -Blackwood's s

What Pride Is Doing For Girls.

Pride is driving the girls out Of their
natural domestic sphere into the CONNER
cial, business world, where the men for 30
long fancied they held an exclusive monop-
oily. And 1t is only natural that young
women prefer to dress neatly and fill posi-
tions where they can see what is going on
in the world rather than to wear soiled
aprons and stay in the kitchen, where the
range of vision depends upon the size Of the
back window. Social caste DEGREES that
the girl in the kitchen must marry some
one not above her own station In life, but
the young lady typewriter in the business
office may entangle the heart of the head OF
the firm. Washington Post.
