Bottling Tears I'm Persia.

The custom of bottling tears is pc,
culiar to the people of Persia. There
it constitutes an important part OF
the obsequies of the dead. AS the
mourners are sitting round and weep
ing the master Of ceremonies presents
each one with piece Of cotton, wool
or sponge, with which to wipe away
the tears. This cotton, wool, OF
sponge is afterward squeezed into d
bottle, and the tears are preserved as
a powerful and eflicacious restorative
for those whom every other medicine
has failed to revive. Brooklyn Eagle.

A FroIicsome Nobleman.

Lord Peterborough, who lived in
the reign of Queen Anne, was very
frolicsome, and one day, seeing from
bis carriage a danclng-master with
pearl-colored stockings lightly STEP
ping over the broad stones and pick
ing his way in extremely dirty wealth
er, he alighted and ran after him
with drawn sword, In order to drive
him into the mud, but into which
he, of course, followed himself. This
nobleman was once taken for the
Duke Of Marlborough and was mob
bed In consequence. The Duke was
then in disgrace with the people, and
Lord Peterborough was about to be
roughly handled. Turning to them,
he said: Gentlemen, l can convince
you by two reasons that / am not the
Duke of Marlborough. In the first
place, / have only five guineas in my
pocket; and, in the second, they are
heartily at your service"

MOI Much of a ComnanY.

A British regiment stationed in
India had listened to a sermon on
"the company Of apostles" from its
padre" now a colonial bishop. AS
the officers sat at mess the sermon
came up in the conversation and varl-
Gus opinions of its merits were heard
Presently the Adjutant, q silent,
saturnine man who had risen from
the ranks, remarked: "To tell the
truth, don't think much Of the

ington, charged with the duty of
raising and organizing volunteer COM
pauies. Late In 1862 he began his
active duties in the field. He was
attached to the Army of Virginia as
Assistant Chief Of Staff with Cen
eral Mcclellan. In the following
year he was recalled to Washington
as an adviser of Secretary Stanton,
and later he engaged in the work Of
the CONSUMPTION bureau, in which he
bad shown distinguished ability. His
last service during the war was in
the capacity Of Adjutant General Of
the Army of the Potomac. Since
the war he has been Adjutant Gen

NEW ADJUTANT GENERAL.
Gen. Geo. ID. Ruggles and His Long and
Honorable Military Record.

Gen. Geo. D. Ruggles, whom Pres
ident Cleveland has appointed adju-
tant general Of the army, has had a
long and distinguished military ca
reer. In 1851 he was appointed a
cadet at the United States Military
Academy from Poughkeepsle. He
was graduated four years later, and
within a few months received a COM
mission as second lieutenant Of in
fantry. He was rapidly promoted,
and In 1862 was made assistant adju-
tant general, with the rank Of major.
In 1880 he was raised to the rank of
lieutenant colonel, and in 1889 he re-
ceived his commission as colonel.
General Ruggles rendered import
ant service to the cause Of the Union
during the civil war From July,
1861, to June, 1862, says Harper's
Weekly, he was on duty in the Office
of the Adjutant General at Wash

will, with a good man above the ped
ais, revolutionize all existing records.
He had read Of the screw propeller
being used on airships as we'll as on
steamers and thought it could be ap-
piled on bicycles. His first appa a.
tus consisted Of single screw, which
helped considerably in the way Of in
creased speed, but was not entirely
satisfactory. Then he determined
on the twin screw, having his gear
ing made Of aluminium to prevent its
being too heavy. Heller uses light
wheel of standard manufacture, and
has not altered 1t to any considerable
extent in fitting it to work the
screws. He has made an application
for a patent on his scheme.
Mr.. Heller took his machine out
the other day and gave a New York
Sun reporter an exhibition Of speed
through the principal streets Of Cald-
well. The road was muddy and the
rain poured down steadily, and the
cyclist claimed he could not give the
device proper showing, He came
down the street, however, at a rat

not unlike a miniature windstorm.

drained Lake Michigan westward in

Some of the places where this river

CHAPTER XII,

Captain Paul Flemying never spoke
Of his disappointment; he had not
mentioned his expectations, but every
one knew from the papers what they
were. But one feeling was general,
and that was universal admiration OF
the GOODNESS, the courage, the grace
with which he bore what to most men
would have seemed an almost unbear-
able disappointment. No one admired
his cool, calm courage more than Ethel
Dacre.
IF ever we go to London, she said
to Captain Flemyng, one day, II shall
hope to see your beautiful young coun-
tess. Have you ever seen her your
self?"
mo" he replied; "to tell you a still
more startling truth, I do not know of
her existence. I shall not be sorry
when leave of absence comes, so that
may go home; then 1 shall see her."
