A Train of ExiIeS.

All travellers in Siberia desire to
see something of the criminal exiles.
When, therefore, | was informed that
a detachment was on it's way from
Tomsk, I took a conveyance and
drove out to meet it.
We had driven considerable dis
lance without seeing the slightest
signs of life on the deserted highway,
when suddenly on the crisp, frosty
air, I distinguished a faint distant
sound, SO peculiar and weird that it
at once attracted my attention, as it
was evidently approaching us.
It was not unlike the noise which
would be produced by hundreds OF
small birds singing all at once, yet L
could see nothing Of any sort any
where on the vast plain. AS we'll as
I could, with my limited Russian vo-
cabulary. / drew my drivers atten-
ton to it. To him it was neither
novel nor interesting; he knew what
it was at once.
"The arrestanti are coming" he
remarked briefly; and shortly after,
on ascending rise in the road which
had concealed them from our view,
there came in sight big body of
men coming slowly along, and | dis
covered that the strange noise which
had so impressed me was produced
by the heavy chains they wore.
But then, alas. all preconceived IL
lusions vanished, for it was loath-
some and depressing sight, rendered
doubly so by the bright sunshine.
There was about it absolutely
nothing of the poetic, such as | had
been led to expect 1t was simply d
huge crowd of what looked like-and
probably was-the very scum Of the
earth, for all races seemed to be rep
resented, making as villainous and
looking a lot of men as one could
possibly see.

the civil war. The third astragal is
twelve feet below the second, and
represents the army by Illustrations
symbols.
Eight feet above the terrace are
platforms for groups of WAR" and
Peace" The conception Of "War"
by the architect, as shown in the
sketches upon the eastern panel and
ub-pedestal of his model of the mon
ument, begins with low and high re-
liefs upon the former, eliminating in
full projections, one being winged
figure, the Spirit OF War, bearing a
flag and cheering the army in ad-
vance and below on to victory; an
other, a mounted cavalryman, only
the head of the horse and the arm of
the soldier being in full projection as
he charges toward the front. Below,
and in advance unon the sub-pedes-
tai, are the round figures, of some
sixteen feet, completing the group,
in various poses, charging over the
fallen enemy that is being trampled
under their feet. while in the 'front.'
center stands Columbia, with right
hand raised aloft, as the inspiration
of battle.
The group of "Peace" begins in a
similar way upon the western panel,
on the opposite side of the monument
from war" In the distance, in low
relief, the victorious army is seen
marching off the field, while above,
projecting from low into high relief,
with arm extended into full projec-
tion, and partly over the group be-
low. is the winged Spirit of War
again, Offering wreath as a crown
for the victors. In the right-rear OF
the group of round figures, upon the
subpedestal projecting below, are
soldiers celebrating their triumph by
cheering; in their front Union and

ter in a recumbent position, as though
wounded or exhausted, and the for
mer offering him succor: on the right
front of the group soldier is sitting
upon his pillow. to which he has re-
turned. with a sheaf Of wheat lying
in front, while another returned SOL

Memories.

Among the numberless stories told
of General Butler since his death is
this, extracted from the Boston
Globe. The narrator had an i'm
portant law case on, and elieved
that "Ben Butler" was the man to
win it. Butler was in Washington,
so he went to the capital, and after
two days succeeded in obtaining an
interview with the General who de-
clared that he was overwhelmed with
work. He would not take the case
for thousand dollars day.
General" I said, as he turned
abruptly to his work, Il was born in
the same town with you"
He grunted, but wasn't otherwise
affected, so far as / could see.
.Do you remember little Miss ?
And the boy who used to send notes
to her, and the boy who used to take
them? l am the boy who took the
notes"
And am the toy who sent them,
said the General.
He held out his hand.
II guess I'll take your case after
ALL he said. And he did and won 1t.

NUMBER A.
Secret of Success.

Upward Of thirty years ago, when
David Maydole was roadside black
smith at Norwich, New York, six
carpenters came to the village from
the next county to work on new
church. One of them, having left
his hammer behind, came to the
blacksmiths to get one made, there
being none which gave satisfa ,tion in
the village store.
Make me a good one-as good as
you know how, Z" said the carpenter.
"But, said the young blacksmith,
who had already considered hammers,
and had arrived at some notion Of
what hammer ought to be, and had
proper contempt for cheapness in
ali its FORMS perhaps you don't want
to pay for as good hammer as | can
make"
eyes, I do; 1 want good hammer.
So David Maydole made a good
hammer that perfectly satisfied the
carpenter.
The next day the mans five COM
panions came, and each Of them
wanted just such hammer, and
WILL UllCy WClC OOuC UilC
came and ordered two more. Next
the storekeeper of the village ordered
two dozen, which were purchased by
a New York tool merchant, who left
standing orders for as many hammers
as David Maypole could make. And
from that day to this he has gone on
making hammers, until now he has
one hundred and fifteen men at work
for him. He has never pushed, never
borrowed, never tried to compete
with others in price, because other
men had done so. His only care has
been to make perfect hammer,
to make as many hammers as
people wanted and no more, and to
sell them at fair, reasonable price.
Now, here is bit of good advice,
boys: Whatever you undertake, do it
perfectly, with your might, and you
will succeed.

The Tanning OF Animals.

There are few benefits which we
owe to our forefathers greater than
the endless skill and patience with
which they tanned those animals
which we call at the present day do
nestle. 1t must have required
steady perseverance, extending
through countless generations, to
have succeeded in inducing such es-
sentially wild and mistrustful animals
as cats to lay aside their timidity and
suspicion, and to become the faithful
friends of man.
The people who accomplished this
great benefit for posterity had more
leisure than their restless and hard
worked descendants; they were, gen.
orally speaking, members OF slave
states, in which the food supply was
plentiful, and in which we may sup
pose that both masters and slaves had
plenty of time on their hands. In
some cases the obvious utility of the
animals caused them to be tanned; in
some cases this very utility came to
invest them with a special sanctity,
which, as in the case of the cat in
Egypt and the COW in India, afforded
an additional guarantee for their pres
ervatiOn.
The ancients seem TO have tanned
almost all the existing animals known
to them that were worth tanning; had
they known the American bison. they
might have added him to the list Of
draught animals we possess; possibly
too, the weasel. stoat, and polecat
might have been reclaimed and en-
ployed as a useful foe to vermin. 1t
is certain that some animals which
were once tanned have been allowed
to relapse into wild state such as
hawks, monkeys and croc0diles in
Egypt, and weasels in Greece and
Rome

DR.. P. was not really surly man,
but the hurry of his large and ard
uous practice made him appear SO
sometimes. Directly opposite his
office lived Mr.. Bradley, whose wife
was an inveterate and loud-voiced
scold. She had never had occasion
for the Doctors services except for
one thing, and that was to set her
dislocated jaw several times. 1t had
been first injured in an accident some
years before, and had never fully re-
covered; any unusual strain was liza
BILE to throw it out of joint again.
One morning, as he was preparing
in haste for long round of profess
sional calls, his ears were assailed by
the din of Mrs. Bradley's scolding.
She was giving her husband violent
curtain lecture" and no doubt the
Doctor was nettled by the sound.
Il hope she won't put her jaw out
of Joint with her clack, and come
over here to have it SET, muttered
he to himself.
But the next moment in she came,
holding her chin in one hand, and
with the other pointing into her open
mouth, which she could not shut, and
mumbling, "Ah, ah, all"
Eyes, yes, I knoW." exploded the
Doctor; you've got your jaw out
scolding your husband. I expected
it! I expected it! Well, sit down
here, and I'll put it down in wink"
showing a chair toward her as he
spoke.
She began to sit down, but, just as
she was almost seated, the Doctor
discovered that the chair did not
face the light as he wished, and gave
it slight turn. Somehow, between
them, the chair was SO misplaced
that she missed it, and sat down with
a tremendous thump on the floor.
1t is an i'll mishap that brings nobody
good. The force of her collision with
the floor did heater job in setting
her Jaw than the Doctor could have
done
Yet, all the anne, Mrs. Bradley did
not like such style of surgery.
Scrambling to her feet, she squared
off, with battle in her attitude and
fire in her eyes, to give the Doctor a
lingual thrashing. But she had met
more than her match. The Doctor
flung open the door, and Selling her
by the arm, marched her out and
down the steps, eXclaiming:
go right home and stop scolding
forever, for I'll never Let your jaw
again.
Home she vent and it is said she
never scolded any more. The Incl
dent is suggestive to doctors and

Thought 1t Was Part of the Initiation.

The members of the Independent
Order of Enthusiastic Good Fellows
were operating on Mr.. Timberwheel,
few weeks ago, putting him through
the operations supposed to be neces-
sary to convert the ordinary citizen
into an Enthusiastic Good Fellow.
They were almost through with the
initiation when some kind of an ex-
plosion in the store over which the
hall was situated blew the building
into the middle of the street and in
terfered with the ceremonies.
Ready hands set to work and extri
Gated the people from the debris.
Fortunately no one was hurt very
much, but after a census had been
taken Mr.. Timberwheel was found to
be missing. A search was instituted,
and before long he was found in an
adjoining yard, where the force of
the explosion had landed him. He
sat in a lodge-room chair and his eyes
were still blindfolded.
"Why on earth didn't you take that
thing off your eyes and get out of the
chair when the explosion occurred?"
asked one of the Enthusiastic Good
Fellows.
Explosion" echoed Timberwheel.
"Why, thought that was part of the
initiation. "-Christian Advocate.

Royal ''Triptology."

Horace Walpole humorously de-
scribed as "triptology" George the
Thirds habit of repeating three times
any remark he might make. 1t was
emphatic thinking aloud, and the
author of Gossip Of the Century"
gives this instance of the "triptologi-
cal" habit:
The King was very fond of the
Weld family, and frequently stayed
at Lulworth Castle, their country
seat. One evening he attended a
ball there, and the daughter of the
house, a handsome woman, danced so
gracefully that the King expressed
aloud his admiration in the charac-
teristic form:
Zine woman, fine woman, fine
woman. Dances well, dances we'll,
dances WE'LL"
The habit ran in the royal family,
and his son, the Duke Of Cambridge,
inherited it. The Duke attended
church on Sunday mornings, and
would express in an audible tone and
with threefold repetition his appro-
baton Of the service and opinion Of
the sermon.
On one occasion the officiating
clergyman pronounced the eXhorta-
ton, "Let US pray"
AYE. to be sure; why not? Let us
pray, let us pray, let US pray," re-
sponded the Duke from his pew.
On another occasion, while the ten
commandments were being read, the
Duke thus emphatically Endorsed the
eighth:
STEAL. no, of course not. Mustn't
steal, mustn't steal, mustn't steal."
William ". did not inherit his
fathers "triptology;" but when any
question was brought before him on
which he was not prepared to express
an opinion he would say, That's an
other matter.
On his DEATH bed, watching through
an open window the sun sinking be-
low the horizon, he said reflectively
to the Archbishop of Canterbury, who
stood near:
"Ah my friend, l shall not see an
other sunset"
eve don't know that, SIRE" an
sWered the prelate, "and | pray heart
lily that your majesty may see many
more"
"That's another ma tier" replied
