The Small Things.

st don't think any nation pays more
attention to military affairs than Ger
many" said a German citizen. Things
of seeming little Importance connected
with the army are Investigated with tho
greatest pains. Many years ago the mat
ter of boot heels was taken up. What
height of heel was best for the infantry:
A commission was appointed. One heel
after another was tried, and record Of
how far the soldiers could march a day
in each was kept. Years piled on years,
the commission carrying on the investl-
cation with the care and exactitude of
chemical analysis. Constant improve
ments were made, and the distance an
army could march in day was thereby
increased. At length the suggestion Of
a heel partly made Of rubber was put
forth. 1t was tried-instantaneou sue
cess It was found that regiment using
such heels could march third farther
a day and with less fatigue than when
the investigation was begun. A small
thing that to begin with, but what an
important part the improved heel would
play in a warr'-Louisvill Courier

Scotch Terms and Customs.

Everybody knows that the word mac
pronounced in Gaelic machk) means
son, so that, for example, Macdonald
literally means the son of Donald. But
it is not generally known that when a
woman is spoken of the highlanders
substitute for mac the feminine mich,
which means daughter; that the voca-
tive of mac is vichk 1--WE spell phonet-
tcally), which always replaces mac
when a person is addressed, and that
the nominative plural is michk (sons)
or claun (children). Sir Walter Scott's
ignorance of Gaelic frequently led him
into error upon these points, both in his
poetry and in his novels.
The meaning of the Gaelic word clan,
a Just stated, is children, and the obe-
dience which clansmen owed to their
chief was considered by them rather as
the affectionate obedience due by chill
dren to a father than as that due by sub
iects to a ruler. They believed them
selves to be all blood relations descend
ed from a common ancestor, OF which
their chief was the living representa-
tive. The clansman who hesitated to
save his chiefs life at the expense of
his own was regarded as coward who
fed from his fathers side in the hour
of peril On the other hand, the chief
was expected at all times to acknowl-
edge the meanest Of his clan as his re-
lation and to shake hands with him
wherever they might happen to meet.
Subordinate to the chief and generally
related to him were the chieftains and
tacksmen. London Spectator.

An Anecdote Of Shelley.

The poet Shelley tells an amusing
story of the influence that language
"hard to be understood" exercises on
the vulgar mind Walking near Covent
Garden, London, he accidentally jostled
against an Irish navy, who, being in a
quarrelsome mood. seemed inclined to
attack the poet. A crowd Of ragged sym
pathizers began to gather, when Shell
ley, calmly facing them, deliberately
pronounced:
IT have put my hand into the ham,
per. I have looked on the sacred barley.
have eaten out Of the drum. have
drunk and am we'll pleased. have said
Knox Ompax, and it is finished.
The effect was magical The aston
ished Irishman fell back. His friends
began to question him. "What bar
ley?' Where's the hamper?' What
have You been drinking?' and Shelley
walked away unmolested. Junior.

Turning Up the Trousers.

I doubt not through the ages one in
creasing purpose runs, and that is why
I have always felt sure that there must
be some reason for the astrornary and
ascentric" behavior Of people who turn
up the bottoms Of their trousers in dry
weather The New York exquisites who
copied the fashion from London will be
disguised at the vulgar origin OF the
practice, for I understand that it had
it's rise in the inventive brains OF some
bank clerks, who used to go down to the
CITY on those bad old razor back
buses. They found that their neither
garments got frayed by rubbing against
the woodwork under the seats until one
day one of them exclaimed, "Go to, and
let Us turn up our trousers. And they
did so. And having turned them up it
didn't seem worth while to turn them
down again, SO the custom became crys-
tallized. # only somebody would now
inform Us why we wear silk hats and
have pockets in our coattails which we
never use, we might even yet be moder-
ately happy.-London Figaro.

DON'T CARRY BOOKS.
Rs Least Avoid Doing So IL You Happen
Into the AStor Library.

Into the Aston Library.
A Young man strobe into the Aston
library yesterday afternoon, good sized
book under his arm, and was making
straight for the staircase to the reading
room when the old man who serves as
hall porter waved him back by ges-
ture.
"Well, what's up with the old chap
anyway" he remarked to his friend.
'Come back here, said the porter,
simultaneously pointing finger at some
unnoticed object.
"Well, l like that" answered the
youth, not following the direction OF
the finger II like you for nice, polite
sort of guide in this building. Guess
I'll go where want without your as
sistance, my good man. "
you've got book" said the por-
ter sepulchrally.
YES" replied the young man, L
have, and if it hadn t such n respectable
binding on it I'd like to fire it at your
head There, and he made spring
upward, three steps at time, followed
by the gasping porter, who finally lay
prone on the stone staircase frantlcally
holding on to the vanishing cOattails.
Come back" he pleaded, now IN
plaintive tones, ''come back and read
the notice. You'll see I daren't let you
pass with that book. I'll lose my place
if you're seen with it, Do, sir, please
come back.
The notice is to the effect that all
books carried into the library are to be
left in the porter charge and called for
on coming out. The idea is to prevent
readers walking off with books of the
library If without one coming in and
with one going out, it's easy to know
they're appropriating library property.
Before the making Of this rule numer-
Gus books were removed, as it was not
easy to accost reader and demand
whether or not book in his possession
was his own or other peoples property.
''See here, =" said the aggrieved youth,
shying his book onto the porter's table,
"next stranger you meet stop your or
ders and your mysterious passes, lay
your stupid old finger on that piece OF
pasteboard, will you, and say straight
out, Read that notice. NEW York

Charmed by q Snake.

Snakes travel a good deal on their
reputation. They scare birds and small
animals SO they become helpless. We all
know this to be fact And then when
they get in tight place with man
they try to run bluff on him. A law
yer in our town once met rattlesnake
down in the Ozarks and began to expert
ment, or rather to let the snake expert
ment, to see if there was anything in
the snake charming theory. He said
that the snakes eyes got brighter and
brighter, and his scales became glisten-
ing, and his body seemed to swell up
little thicker, and the whole outfit be-
came 30 engrossing that he finally ran
away from the snake in a dead scare
and didn't get over 10 for good while
after. He told me that it was his belief
that If he bad kept company with that
snake much longer he would have lost
his wits. and Stream.

WASHINGTON IRVING TO POE.
A Letter Full of Genial Criticism an,
Friendly Counsel.

Poe had through life the habit Of
sending his better tales and poems to
distinguished literary men and solicit
ing thereby their attention, writes Pro-
fessor George e. Woodberry in The
Century in presenting some Of Poe's un-
published correspondence relating to his
residence in Philadelphia.
He kept the replies and was thus en-
abled to append to Hirst's biography Of
him in the Philadelphia Saturday Mu-
scum long list Of encomiums in addi-
ton to such as had been publicly made.
The following letter from Washington
Irving was written in acknowledgment
of William Wilson, which had fol-
lowed the blouse Of Usher" as
means Of introduction, and the sub
stance of it, much altered and some
what garbled, appeared in the list re-
ferred to and affords striking instance
of how Poe dealt with such correspond
ence:
NEwBURG, Nov. 6, 1889.
DEAR SIR-The magazine you were SO kind
as to send me, being directed to New York,
instead of Tarrytown, did not reach me for
some UlI1e. his, together WIN an uIIOTbu-
nate habit of procrastination, must plead my
apology for the hardness Of my reply. l have
read your little tale Of William wilson with
much pleasure. 1t is managed in highly pic
turesQue style, and the singular and mystic
rious interest is well sustained throughout. I
repeat what have said in regard to previous
production, which you did the favor to
send me, that cannot but think series Of
articles of like style and merit would be ex-
tremely well received by the public.
I could add for your private ear that think
the last tale much the best in regard to style.
1t is simpler. In your first you have been too
anxious to present your picture wildly to the
eye, or too distrustful of your effect, and have
laid On too much coloring. It is erring on the
best side-the side of luXuriance. That tale
might be improved by relieving the style from
some Of the epithets. There is no danger OF
destroying its graphic effect, which is power
full. With best wishes for your success am,
my dear sir, yours respectfully,
WASHINGTON IRVING.

one, but he saw that the law had no
such opportunities as the newspaper
business, and he came to Chicago from
1he Iowa town where he was practicing
and began work on one Of the big

he had star, and Sandy was given ev-
cry opportunity to make himself name

"Sandy went out and got the facts.
He found that he was the first and only
newspaper man who knew anything
about the tale, and it was corker. He
started back to the Office to write it up.
He had been so used to going to The
Tribune Office that he mechanically got
off the car there and walked up into the
local room. He sat down at his old desk,
wrote the story and handed it to the city

It Lessons the Chances of Somebody TAX
ing a Shot at Him.
''You would naturally think that the
hunter out for game would wear clothes
of soft, unobtrusive colors harmonizing
with the landscape" said the veteran
sportsman. Yet, stalking moose and
deer in the Maine woods, [ select ap-
parel pronounced in hue and often wear
q red necktie or hatband. This do to
lessen the danger of being shot through
mistake.
''Of the great army Of hunters that
each fall range the woods of the Pine
Tree State there are few that will not
sometimes venture shot into moving
bushes on the chances that the invisible
object that rustles them may be deer.
The fool sportsman, who Is largely IN
evidence in the shooting season, Will do
so every time. Ii it be a man in the
bushes, any striking colors Of his cos
tune are apt to catch the eye of the one
preparing to fire and prevent the shot
being fired.
''The danger Of alarming game by
such costume? That is not enough to
be taken into account Everything strik-
ing in color is more likely than not to
excite their curiosity and draw them
toward the hunter if he work with prop
er slowness and caution. Besides that
all the antlered game trust almost
wholly to their senses Of hearing and
smelling to warn them Of the approach
Of danger, and if you can battle those
faculties you need have little fear OF
their taking alarm from the sight OF
you.
but, speaking Of costume, don't
wear black, else every nirny, and even
some experienced sportsman, seeing you
among the trees, would let drive at you,

Salt as q Remedy.

Common salt as a remedy for ''brow
ague," that distressing form Of head
ache, has lately been extolled by some
physicians The idea in increasing the
amount Of the salt used with the food
was that Of augmenting the hydrochlo-
rio acid in the juice Of the stomach
at least considerable success IS claimed
for this remedy, which, however, it is
needless to say, will not operate success
fully in all cases. By the way, shifting
little finely powdered salt up the nos
tril of the affected side has been found
to cure the pain in neuralgia of the face.

FINISHED POETRY
Patient Labor as Much as Fine Frenzy q
Factor In Its Production.

Patient Labor as Much as Fine Frenzy q
Factor In It's Production.
There are yet some persons left whL
fancy that poetry is the product of a
fine frenzy; that the poet genius awakes
from sublimated cataleptic trance to
fill page after page with effortless
beatitudes. A number of manuscript
sheets of Longfellow's Excelsior,
which may be found in Harvard, should
not only explode this theory, but give
hope to many discouraged amateur.
As LongfeIlow first constructed the first
verse of this poem it ran:
The shades Of night were falling fast
As through an Alpine village passed
A youth who, as the peasants sung,
Responded in an unknown tongue,
Excelsior
This was manifestly weak, as the
only obvious reason why the Alpine
peasants sung was that they might af-
ford rhyme for the youths response
in an unknown tongue. A second trial
at the verse, however, not only failed to
improve it, but arranged it in such
form that it is difficult to believe Long
fellow guilty Of the fault. The last two
lines Of the verse were made to read:
A youth who bore pearl Of price,
A banner with the strange device.
There are not many, even among the
magazine poets of today, who would
consent to refer to banner as "a pearl
Of price" But the poet had by this time
three lines to his liking, and the substi-
tution of ga vouth who bore mid snow
and ice" completed the verse as it has
been read and spoken throughout the
length and breadth of the land, all Of
which goes to show that the genius Of
the poet is in the conception, and that
the production of the poem, being quite
another matter, lies solely in the direc-
ton Of patient labor Chicago Herald.
