The cable map of the world, pre-
pared by the United States navy de-
partment, shows that the Mediter-
ranean is thiczly netted with cables
west Of Malta. So is the North At
lantic between the thirty-eighth and
fifty-ffth parallels The North sea,
the Red sea and the Arabian sea have
many cables The only great unbridged
spaces are the Pacific, the South At
lantic and the great stretch of the In
dian ocean between Madagascar and
Australia. There is no considerable
cable north Of Stockholm or south Of
Nelson, New Zealand. The Back sea
is completely girdled by land lines and
crossed by one cable. The Gulf of
Mexico is crossed, though not at its
widest, by several cables, and the
waters Of the West Indies are bccoIn-
in. thickly Melted with short cables.

They wore white shirts and under
clothes, and every night undressed and
went to bed like folks.
One day it was rumored that the gun
boats were in the river below us and
were coming up About midnight,
while all were sleeping soundly, the
long roll began to beat in the company
stationed on the river bank.
At once there was a stir in the camp
Officers were calling the men to fall in
aud there was much hurrying to and
fro. Capt Beaumont was always care
full about his dress when on duty, ard
even now he did not neglect his toilet
Quickly he put on lis uniform, buckled
on his swora and stepped out Of his
tent TO take command Of his company.
But his men had not been SO thought
full. They sprang up and grasped their
muskets and formed in line in front of
their tents; but every man of them had
forgotten TO put on his trousers. and
there they stood in the starlight, in
their night-clothes, like 'sheeted
ghosts trembling with cold and ex-
element
AS the captain and ! stepped out and
his eye glanced along the line, his sense
Of propriety got the better of his mill
itary ardor, and ne shouted out his first
command - ss'9tt Jss ,.s.,liss,t.-zsS.
''Confound your foolish souls, 60 and

The situation dawned on the men,
and with shouts of laughter they pre-
pared for battle by putting on those
needful articles of apparel. After all,
it was but a false alarm, and they were
soon sent to bed again. Youths Com

IN France there exists an order of
merit founded by the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, of
which the members are dogs who have
distinguished themselves by deeds of
bravery, says the Westminster
Gazette. A tastefully designed
collar of honor" is awarded to the
nominees of the order. Among the
animals already decorated in this way
one of the most celebrated is Bacchus,
a large bulldog, whose speciality it is
to stop runaway horses by jumping up
and selling them by the bride. 1t is
calculated that the intelligent beast
has already saved the lives of eight
persons, if not more, in this way.
Pataud, another bulldog, received
collar in 1887 for saving his mistress
from the attack Of footpad, and
Turk, a splendid Newfoundland, has
had similar honor for saving three
young children from drowning on diff
ferent occasions.
