Foxy Man.

Reynard had another experience.
He contracted a bill for 40 cents with
a druggist through a clerk for cigars.
A week later he went into the store
to get a 81 bill changed and was Civ
en- back S1.3O by the proprietor.
where's the 702" inquired Reynard.
"You owe me TO-" What if / do
What right have you to seize my
money without legal proceedings
demanded the owner of the So. The
druggist laughed, and Reynard went
away with ire in his heart. In an
hour a writ in an action of tort had
been brought, and a keeper was IN
the store. For several hours the drug
gist was looking for the foxy gentle
man and finally ran him down in the
Walker building. They adjourned to
the office of the druggists lawyer,
where Reynard informed the gentle
men that he was after a warrant Of
arrest for larceny. The matter, how
ever, was easily settled. That inn
promptu collection of 20 cents cost
the druggist $40. 40, and Reynard re-
ceived receipt in full for his indebt-
edness.-Worcester Gazette.

When the cook opened the kitchen
door and found a tramp there, she
was in just the humor for refusing
him a bite to eat though he we're
starving. But he saved her the trou-
BILE.
Excuse me, - he said, smiling out
of his p~hotosphere of dirt, can you
give me a bath this morning."
The cook threw up her hands.
Great governorr' she exclaimed,
"a whatf"
"A bath, lady. Water and soap
and towels and a sponge, don't you
knowf"
Yes, but what in the name of
goodness do you want a bath forf'

The Army From Which Uncle sam May
Draw should Occasion Require.
An army of 5000, 900 men! How
Napoleon's legions dwindle beside
this and the hosts which Grant, Sher
man and Sheridan led shrink to pyg-
mics. This enormous figure repre-
SCENTS the number of ablebodied men
in the United States available for
military purposes. But of course no
such swarm of fighters could ever be
modified in this or any other coun-
try.
1t would overtax ever American
energy and to clothe and
feed and arm them and maintain
them in idleness. The figures have
no practical military value, but as a
suggestion of the mighty war poten-
tialities of the young republic they
are not without their interest to the
world. But when we come to emu
merate the men actually under arms
in the United States as trained and
disciplined soldiers we realize our
present military significance.
Besides the little regular army of
$4,000 men there is a more or less
thoroughly organized force of 112,-
100 men in the national guard and
militia-that is, only about one man
in a hundred of those of our citizens
liable to bear arms is regularly en-
gagged in mastering the rudiments of
the soldiers profession.
New York, as might be expected,
has the largest military organization

sylvania has s,6l4 officers and men;

Firing Big Guns At Sea.

To one unaccustomed to the ex-
perlence 1t Is anything but pleasant
to be OF board of a line of battle ship
at sea when the big guns are being
fired. Before they + discharged
the decks + cleared for action, and
all the chairs in the cabin are laid
down and tied together, while every
bit of movable furniture is secured.
The doctor goes around and makes
sure that every man has had his ears
stopped with cotton wool. The con
cussion when the charges ire fired is
tremendous, and the ironclad quivers
from stem to stern with the vibra-
tion-in fact, the shock of the *
plosion is so great that every pane of
glass in the skylights is invariably
shattered, and much of the orna-
mental woodwork is splintered.
After a few hours of this rough
play the carpenters have a busy time
In making things look presentable
once more, for the ship resembles a
wreck when she has finished her
practice. Nobody likes it. The sail
OTIS standing by the big gun some
times find themselves thrown all Of a
heap across the deck, and after an
hour or two officers and men become
as black IS sweeps. 1t is impossible
to be well out of the way of annoy
ance, though perhaps the n place
in the vessel where the guns trouble
the rew the least is down in the en-
gine room, which is below the level
of the deck upon which most of the
armament is put.-Ashton Reporter.

GuardinR the Bank.

The Bank of England is watched
nightly by a guard of about so men
from the Household troops, under
the command of an officer, who usu-
ally march from Wellington or st.
Georges barracks. They patrol the
spacious quadrangles of the bank and
do sentry duty over allotted spaces
till the morning, when they are re
lieved on the arrival of some mem
beers of the banks staff. The officer
in command is allowed dinner fol
himself and a friend, including the
provision of a bottle of the banks
special old port. The men are also
supplied with the needful rejection.
Besides this military guard two
clerks remain on duty all night at the
bank as well as all day on Sunday,
and these watch clerks" must not
so to sleep. Their duty is to move
about from building to building, in
speeding the various rooms to see
that all goes well. Several of the
higher officials also sleep on the
premises, ready to be summoned at
q moment notice. Chambers Jour

Time TeIIers,

1t is well known that men who
have never possessed watches, and
who work or hunt habitually at a
distance from clocks, + very expert
at estimating the lapse of time. Per
ception of this kind undoubtedly may
be cultivated in an intelligent ami
NAL as well as in man. There is a
case on record in which a doctor,
who was accustomed to visit a GER
tain village at a certain hour on a
certain day each week. always found
a dog of his acquaintance waiting
for him outside the town, and it was
proved that the dog never came to
the place at any other day OF hour.
Evidently all that can be said in ex.
PLANTATION of such cases is that ami.
mails are susceptible of having pc
