PIuCky Boy Soldier.

In the recollections of "a Man of
Letters Under the Empire and
the Restoration" story is told
of French poet, Marquis de Saint
Marc, which would do credit to some
of the military heroes of history.
When Saint Marc was fifteen years
old he was ensign of troop OF caval-
ry in the French army, and took part
in the battle Of Fontenoy. The first
charge of the English columns scat
tered and overthrow the first line Of
Saint-Marc's regiment, and the boy,
seated on his horse and unframed,
was left alone.
I'm that terrible moment" he said,
speaking of it afterward, Il remem-
bered nothing except thatI had been
told not to finch, and always to hold
my standard upright. | did that
with all my strength. Then the
second line rushed forward. Before
[ quite understood it I was surround
ed with friends, who wrapped ME in
my flag and carried me to Louis XIV,
who embraced me and made me a
lieutenant then and there"

rattlesnake was surprised enough at
this unexpected result of the first
round, but, maddened at the cats
assault, he coiled again for fight.
The little backwoods school girls
screamed with delight over the cats
smartness, and the boys declared it
was no-good RATHER.
again the willy Maltese presented
her paw as feint, and again the
RATHER was fooled by it, for his
vicious strike was avoided again by
the cats quick maneuver, and again
the snake received tabby's terrible
Highlander alongside the head.
These skillful tactics Of the smart
cat were repeated three times, with
the same result, and then the RATHER,
weakened and thoroughly dispirited,
turned to run away. The moment
the snake moved away the cat sprang
upon it tiercely and ripped it open
half way down the back with two
slashes of her sharp claws. AS it lay
writhing on the ground the cat sud-
denly seized the RATHER in her jaws
by it's slender neck apd crunched it's
head from the body. She then
dragged the carcass to the other side
of the road, where she dug a hole
and buried it. Then she trotted
away toward the school bouse and
the children were happy"

Cost of Training a Sailor.

A few years ago there was much
criticism because SO much money was
spent in educating cadets at the
Annapolis Naval Academy. 1t also
costs a good deal in other countries
to educate officers for the navy, es.
pecially for the British navy. A
complaint was published in one of
the London papers few days ago
because each cadet cost about $500 a
year. On the training ship Britannia,
at Dartmouth, there are 248 cadets,
with staff of 102 instructors, and it
costs about 5000, 900 a year to main
tain them. OF this amount the par
ents and guardians pay to the gov
eminent about $85. 900 year. The
Royal Naval College, at Greenwich,
is said to be another quicksand for
the public money. It costs $3.50, 900
a year to keep it running, and. &C.
cording to the average attendance,
each officer there instructed costs the
country about 81, $50 year.

the Portuguese King not only engag-

a big footpad in lonely road, but
also proving himself to be the better

view of the fact that the fight was
brought about by his interference in

Jokers Among the Monkeys.

No one will doubt that monkeys
have keen sense of humor which
enables them to relish joke. 1t is
not to be supposed that they care
whether the fun is at the expense of
Their jokes are necessarily practical
Professor r. S. Garner, who is MAX
ing life study of our simian brothers,
Eives an instance in point. In a
large cage in the Philadelphia Garden
were kept at one time about twenty
monkeys. Among them were two
big, wise-looking apes with gray
boards and hair, and with the mien
Of stoics. They had very long,
straight tails, and a habit of sitting
high up from the ground and allow
ing their tails to hang at full length.
In the same cage were three or four
brown cebus monkeys, who we're
much devoted to exercise and fun.
While the big monkeys would cling
to the side Of the cage, or sit on a
perch some ten or twelve feet from
the ground, one of the little brown
monkeys would stealthily creep up to
OuC VI UllCul, ttuU SuuuCuly 81 dSp ULo
end of the long tail and swing with
all his might. OF course the s"big
'un" could not lift his tail becauses OF
the weight of the little monkey
clinging to it. He could only climb
down the side of the cage with his
burden until he could reach the floor
During this operation the brown
monkey kept swinging until his own
tail touched the floor, atewhich in
slant he would release his hold and
spring to the top of the cage, followed
by the outraged monkey amid the
screams of the others. By the time
he had reached a point where he
could attack his little tormentor,
who would show some signs of re-
sistance and cause him to pause for
moment, another brown monkey
would seize his long tail and take
swing.

THERE can no longer be any doubt
that England is losing the grip she
has so tenaciously held for SO many
years upon the manufacture of iron
and steel. America and Germany are
interfering very seriously with her
markets, both at home and abroad.
The German manufacturers, it is
said, are now offering steel wire rods
in Birmingham at prices so low that
it is thought the local wire trade
there will soon be thing of the
past. 1t is very doubtful if England
ever regains the position in the trade
of the world she formerly held.

UNITED STATES naval officers ac-
cept the loss of tie Victoria as one OF
the incidents natural to going to sea
in an "iron teakettle," as the modern
ship of war is unexpectedly called.
The ancient figure Of speech which
represents a single plank be-
tween the sailor and death is more
nearly true of the ships built without
planks than Of any others, and every
sailor knows that, whatever the ad-
vantage of the iron ship as fighting
machine, it is very ticklish craft in
case of accident.

The improvement of navigation on

The improvement of navigation on
inland rivers is not altogether for
the purpose of spending Government
money. Alabama iron furnaces are
now shipping iron to St. Louis by
way of the Tennessee River, rather
than pay the extortionate freight
the railroads charge. This could not
have been done before the United
States Government deepened some
shoal places that had always OBJ
structed navigation. Railroads are
discriminating against iron produced
in Alabama, as they are interested
in keeping up the furnaces in Penn.

supplies.

Almost a Miracle.

A peculiar incident of mountain
travel is recorded in the Life Of
Nicholas Ferrar" He was riding on
muleback over some narrow and dan.
gerous passages of the Alps, hisguide
being little way before him. En-
crossed in thought, Ferrar was paying
little attention to the way, when he
was suddenly recalled to himself by
an exclamation from his guide.
At the narrowest and steepest part
Of the path,--a lofty wall on one side
and a precipice on the other,-a
donkey laden with a large piece of
timber came rushing from the side
Of the mountain, turned into the
narrow road, and bore down upon
Ferrar
The guide had heard the noise, and
at once realized his patrons danger.
90 Lord" he cried. "The man is
lost if he had hundred lives!"
And truly there seemed to be no
escape. The donkey was loaded with
the timber athwart it's back, so that
it would be impossible for it to pass
Ferrar and his mule without pushing
them over the precipice.
AS the donkey plunged down the
narrow path, however, it stumbled
just in front Of Ferrar, and fell to
it's knees. The sudden check swung
the timber round so that Ferrar was
lightly brushed by it, and in one
moment the danger was passed.
Ferrar fell on his face, thanking
God for his miraculous preservation.
The guide and the owner Of the
donkey which had broken away
while being loaded-stood crossing
themselves and CRYING, "MiracOlO."

The Former Completely VanQuishes and
Stay, Her Vicious Foe.
"A curious fight between cat and
a lattlesnake was witnessed 10y some
sch ,ol chiIdre iately. said Penn
sylvanian. "The reptile was lying
curled up in field. The cat stole
slowly upon hun. and before long it
was plain that the RATHER had dis
covered the approach Of his foe, for
he raised his head slowly out of his
folds and began to shake his rattles
warningly. But this Maltese was no
ordinary cat. She had evidently been
taking quiet notes of the methods of
rattlesnakes. She crept on, and when
within a yard of the snake, she
stopped. raised one paw and held it
out toward the RATHER. That was
challenge enough for him, and he
threw his vicious head and foot and
a half Of his body forward to strike
the daring cats foot But the cat
was as quick as the snake, and her
foot was not in the path Of his fangs
when they got there, and he missed.
Then, quick as flash of lightning
the cat brought her other paw into
play, and with it she struck the
snake a blow that knocked it
foot or more to one side. She didn't
keep the velvet over her claws
when she struck, either, but had
them at full length, and laid the
snakes neck open in two long gashes,
from which the blood spurted. The

use one hand just as well as the

One day he was operating in case

present were overcome with admira-

with which he shifted the instrument
from one hand to the other, and
worked with the left as well as with
the right.
