PHILIP KEARNY.
How He Touched the Heart of the
French Exile.

How He Touched the Heart of the
French Exile.
1t was after the review that made the
personal acquaintance of the officers with
whom l was to have the good fortune to
fight for a cause which was already dear
TO me. All made me most cordially well
come, but it was with Kearny that 1 found
myself most at home. He it was who
could speak to me Of the French army in
Algeria in 1910, and Of the memories left
by my family in that country. He did so
in terms which deeply touched the heart
of the exile, the son OF the Due d'Orleans.
kearny had participated in one OF those
mpaigns on African grounds which
brought out strongly the merits OF the
French soldier. He had also associated
himself with the triumphs of France in
the Italian campaign Of 1853.
One who saw Philip Kearny recognized
in him the typical soldier. As early as
lS49 the young and brilliant cavalry of1i-
cea had lost his left arm before one of the
gates of Mexico at the Battle Of Churu
busco. His intirmity did not prevent him
from always mounting the most vigorous
looking horses, which he controlled on
the march with rare elegance, holding in
his only hand the reins and his naked
sword. a head, the picture of energy,
framed by the cape which almost invari-
ably hung about his shoulders, a strongly
marked nose and a piercing eye, gave
him the look of an eagle. His abrupt
speech an Enis imperious manner denoted
a proud disposition, and a character in
capable of fattery or Of dissimulation.
But though at first his manner was not
always fitted to attract, one soon learned
to appreciate the noble qualities of his
heart, the firmness of his will, the accu-
racy of his judgment, the truthfulness
and grandeur of his soul. This man, ap-

when Athletlcism is rorbidden.

There are some conditions OF body
which forbid athleticism. When the
vital organs of the body are not in full ac-
ton OF natural kind. when the beat of
the heart is irregular or intermittent,
when the breathing organs are embar-
rassed, or when the senses are not sound,
it is improper that athletic training
should be pushed TO its full quality. A
difference should always be made be-
tween good physical training for mere
exercise sake and that educated training
which leads TO athletic excellence. EXer-
else may be good even for the feeble, but
1t must be adapted to circumstances. 1t
cannot safely be after fixed plan leading
to special attainment.
l notice this because there are few
things on which |, as a physician, am
oftener consulted upon than real or ap-
parent dangers arising, or supposed to
have arisen, from physical efforts OF a
competitive character. Not infrequently
the doubts felt respecting injuries in-
filcted are OF no moment; but il does oc-
cur that mischief has been produced, al
though the exercise may not have been
excessive. In such case | never fail TO
discover that in the history of the indi-
yidual there was hereditary or acquired
defect, which has influenced the training
effort and which ought Co have prevented
it altogether. Many trainers detect this
almost as soon as they begin their lessons
with d pupil, and although they have
not the professional knowledge which
tells them what Is particularly wrong, or
in what organ the mischief is concealed,
they are sure pf the fact, aud occasionally
refuse, most wisely, to proceed. In this
they are united as body, much as their
own interests may seem 20 be at stake.
I do not think l ever remember an in
stance in which trainer of skill and ex-
perfenee has undertaken to instruct a pu-
pil Systematically rejected by another
trainer of equal capacity. [ remarked on
this once in compliment to an accom-
plished trainer, and he was rather amused.
II think you credit US with being too con-
scientious. 1t Is hard to give upanybody,
but nothing does Us so much injury as to
make a mess of our business, and nothing
is so sure to make a mess as 10 force d fel-
low as has got no gumption. We only
knock him over, and then all the blame
falls on ourselves. We ought to have
known what would be the effect, and re-
fused or stopped before we had gone too
far."-Sir S. B. Richardson, in Long
mans Magazine.

CRANKS.
Two Harmless Ones Who Hold Forth
in Brooklyn.

This is the age of cranks. Scarcely a
day goes by that does not bring with it
some newspaper paragraph about this
interesting but uncanny class OF un-
fOrtunates, and in Brooklyn they seem to
thrive as thickly as flies is huckleberry
time. Two new aspirants for notoriety
in this direction loomed up on the hOri-
zon of the Posto1nce and Courthouse offi-
cials, and created no end of amusement,
not unmiXed with some degree OF COM
miseration, for the deniZens of both
buildings. a woman, matrOnly in APP
pearance, her gray hairs brushed back
from a forehead that had once possessed
the light of intelligence, entered Assist
ant Postmaster John H. McCooey's Office
and announced herself as Mrs. Burnette.
and inveighed in vigorous language
against the pernicious habit of the clerks
of sending her mail matter to the Queen
of England and the King of Ireland for
inspection before it reaches her hands.
MIR. McCooey tells her that he will have
the matter investigated, and she goes
away apparently mollihed. But he
knows she will come back again, as she
has Tor the last three months, and prob
ably will continue to do until sickness
or madhouse rise up between her and
the Federal building.
Over in the Courthouse Supervisor-at-
Large titchie, Sheriff Buttling. Clerk
Farrell, and the Coroner have a daily
visitant in the person of q little old
woman, specialized and scrawny as a rail
fence, who enters unannounced and
stands like a wax figure until her pres
ence is noticed. Her story is different
from the majority Of present age cranks.
She wants to do what is right, but she
can't see the consistency OF Brooklyn
authorities taxing her for property that
she owns in Massachusetts. What the
property consists Of has not yet been
vouchsafed, but her income of a million a
year is just enough to support herselfand
maintain her establishment on the Hights
without enabling her to share any part of
it with 1.-The robbers of the city" She is
told to go over and see the Mayor about
it, and as she steps to the door she says to
an imaginary coachman, John, drive
the grays over to the City Hall, where I
viii join YOU" Then she bows herself
out with a perfect obeisance, and comes
again tomorrow. Who she is nobody
knows and nobody cares, but her solemn
visage is familiar one, even to the
loungers about the corridors. Brooklyn

a FITTING Observance.

We were riding eastward on Grand
Trunk train, crossing the strip OF Canada a
which intervenes between Port Huron
and Suspension Bridge. We had been
having rather jolly times in the smoking
compartment, all but the thin man In the
corner seattle hadn't said a word; but
had puffed at a succession of drOpsical
cigars in silence. AT last the conductor
put his head through the door and said:
ANY OF you gentlemen want dinner at
London"
We all did, but the thin man was the
first to respond:
81 do.'
That was the first time we heard him
speak.
In the course of time we reached Lon
don, and the train emptying itself, all
made common assault upon the dining
room-only to find it locked. Then most
OF the passengers invaded the lunchroom,
where standing room was at premium.
The naughty girls behind the counter
were dazed. Some of the people paid for
coffee and sandwiches and did not get
them; others had coffee and sandwiches
and did not pay for them1 the majority
had and paid for nothing. At the end of
three minutes was heard the call OF "All
aboard. We resumed our hungry
places in the smoking-room, and soon
came very apologize conductor
to say that his telegram ordering
dinner at London had not been delivered,
and we should be fed at Hamilton. Then
said the thin man:
brethren, we will now have a season
of fasting and swear"
That was the second time we heard him
speak.
And he didn't speak again.

SOWING WILD OATS.
1t is Not at Ali Necessary to tn,
Young Man.

II - -NOI az AL N6CSSSdfy " Inc
Young Man.
So far as a young man Sowing his
wild oats'' is concerned, writes Edward
W. Box in some editorials tor young men
in the Ladies Home Journal, it has al
ways seemed pity to me that the man
who framed that sentence didn't die be-
fore he constructed it. From the way
some people talk one would imagine that
every man had instilled into MIN at his
birth a certain amount of deviltry
which he must get rid OF before he can
become man Of honor. Now what Is
called sowing wild OATS is nothing
more nor less than self-degTadatiou to
any young man. 1t doesn't make man
one particle more OF man because he
has passed through a siege of riOtOuS IiV-
ing and indiscretion when he was IS or
70 years old. 1t makes him Just as much
less OF a man. 1t dwarfs MS views of
life far more that it broadens tnem. And
he realizes this atterWard. And he
doesn't know one iOta more OF "llle," eX-
cept a certain phase OF it, which, il it has
glitter for him in youth, becomes re-
pellent remembrance to him when he is
matured. There is no such thing as an
investigating period i'll a mans life; at
one period II is as important to him to be
honorable and true to the teachings OF
his mother as at another.
NO young man neeQ seek The darker
side Of Iife." The Lord knows that it
forces itself upon our attention soon
enough A young man need not be
afraid that he will fail TO see it. He will
see plenty OF it, and without any seeking
on his part either. And even ii he does
fail he is the gamer. There are d great
many things which we can accept by in
terence as existing in this world. 1t is
not liberal education to see them. Too
many young men have burning itch to
see Wickedness-not to indulge in it. as
they are quick to explain, but simply to
see it. But the thousands OF men who
have never seen it have never felt them
selves the losers. Ii anything, they are
glad of ii. 1t does not raise a mans ideal
10 come into contact with certain types Of
manhood or wonanhood which are only
removed from the lowest types Of the
animal kingdom by virtue of the fact
that the Creator chose to have them get
through the world on two legs instead of
four. The lottiest ideal OF womanhood
that young man can form in his inn
pressiOnable days will prove none too
high for him in his years of maturity.

man means, above all, to be an earnest
believer in the best qualities Of woman

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land in the heart of Tehama County, for the
parpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from SO to $50 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, so, 12o, 16O and $40 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They viii be sold in
subdivisions as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first of five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is TO have five years in which TO
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of z per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over period Of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $40 an acre,
with other grades Of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
pecially adapted for fruit-growing cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
500 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement viii prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase OF good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down TO fair
agricultural land at SO an acre, on terms OF
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers q result easyof
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
body of land was the breaking up Of large
holding for the purpose OF promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.
