MUcIUs ScAEvoLA never put his hand

years after the supposed time.
GEN. CAslBRoNNE did not say: "The

The words were the invention of a

WITH THE ELECTRICIANS.

The contract for the electrical dis
play at the California midwinter fair
has been awarded to the Western Elec-
trio company.
THERE is said to be absolutely no
foundation for the rumor that the
General Electric and the Westing-
house companies were about to con-
solidate.
THE entire system OF tracks in the
Pennsylvania Railroad compaDy's new
station on Broad street, Philadelphia,
is to be operated by an electric system
of switching and signaling.
TIE development of gas and gaso-
line engines in this country has been
so great and SO practical that many
believe it is only question of time
when they will supersede steam en-
gines for the generation of the electric
current.
AN electric locomotive which gen.
crates its own electricity from steam
boiler is the latest French novelty in
electric traction. The test of this To-
connective on its first trial is said to
have been satisfactory, but no infor-
nation is given as to the cost of operat-
ing it.

TEACHER AND PUPIL.

The Frank Speech of a Repentant Scotcl
Professor.
A well-known Scotch professor wa,
noted for his hot temper and vekemen
candor, as well as for his profound
scholarship
At the opening of college term the
boys observed that he was unusually
irritable and harsh. The applicants
for admission. ranged themselves for
examination in a line below his desk.
SHOW your papersn' he ordered
One lad held his paper up awi.wardly
in his left hand
Hold it up properly, sir, in your
right hand! commanded the master.
The new pupil muttered something,
but kept his left hand raised
The right hand, we loonp' Numbered
the professor.
The boy, growing very pale, lifted his
right arm. 1t was burned stump The
hand was gone
The boys burst into indignant Kisses,
but the professor had leaped down from
the platform and had thrown his arm
about the boys shoulders.
"Eh, laddie, orgive mel' he cried,
breaking into broad Scotch, as he al
ways did when greatly excited. II

after that day." wrote one of the
boys, years afterward, ''every man
there was his firm friend and iegeman.
He had won us all by that one frank
speech.
The change which fifty years has
made in the relation between teacher
and taught has been very great The
boy of the last century looked up to
his master with. the fear of the wait-
ing lash, below all other emotions or
motives.
The best teacher Of to-day is well de-
scribed in the words of great German
educator, as one who takes the posi- |
ton of an older kinsman to his pupils;
the same ladder as they, but a |
little higher up"
But the boy who trusts his teacher as
the truest of gentlemen is learning
from him something better than Latin
and Greek Youths Companion.

SECURE JUSTICE.
How French Soldier Brought About the
Recognition of Els Merit.

How French Soldier Brought About tbs
Recognition of Els Merit.
1t is usually possible to secure recog-
milton for real merit, but to accomplish
this some ingenuity is required at times
A French writer tells story of a
French soldier, Chevert, who was as
modest as he was brave, but who felt
that he had waited for promotion long
enough.
He had every claim to the command
of company in his regiment but the
colonel asked that the appointment be
given to one of his proteges. Chevert
went to Versailles and obtained an
audience with the minister of war
This official said that he knew nothing
about him.
Very WELL" said Chevert simply
write to my colonel and ask him to
recommend some brave and sl1illful
soldier for an important and difficult
task"
The minister sent the message and
the name given in the colonel's reply
was Chevert. He received his promo
ton at once.
Chevert found an appreciative friend
in Marshal SAKE. The marshal heard
some titled officers speaking of their
fellow-officer Cheyert.
THE fellow rose from the ranks"
said one, contemptuously.
SAKE turned TO the speaker and said.
severely: "Sir, 1 always esteemed Che
vert; now that learn from you that he ,
rose from the ranks. find that 1 owe
him respect and admiration"
