Gurkhas as Skirmishers.

Tho hill tribes of the northwest Indian
frontier fear Gurkhas even more than Sikh
or British soldiers. The Gurkha is himself
a highlander, "A born sportsman and a good
climber. His powers of stalking and tax
ing advantage of cover are remarkable. In
the battalion about so men per battalion
are specially trained as scouts. The best
shikaris are selected, practiced in point to
point running over rough ground and &C.
casionally told off with blank ammunition
to stalk each other on the hillside Each
man fires whenever he sees his enemy, and
he Is held to be the victor who first shouts
out the name of his opponent correctly to
the officer experimenting the training. In
hill campaign such practiced scouts are
specially useful. They enjoy the excite
ment of stalking and shooting the snipers
who prowl round our camps on the lookout
for shot.-Blackwood' Magazine.

A Story Of Jay Gould.

A story is told of jay Gould while stop
ping in Manitou some years ago which IL
illustrates the loneliness of wealth and sta
ton. His isolation was oppressive. He
wandered about the village, but though he
was 1.-THE observed of all observers" none
vontured to accost him familiarly-in fact
he was avoided. AT length he found seat
at the little railway depot. Presently a
stranger approached and took "a seat beside
him. A frank and cordial interchange
followed. The stranger was "a guest at the
same hotel with the millionaire, though
each was unknown to the other, but he
had met with bad luck and had lost all his
money Mr.. Gould returned east that day
When the stranger applied for his bill on
the day following he found it had been
paid. He also found awaiting him check
for $500 signed by Jay Gould. Chicago

How TO Breathe.

An old gentleman gave good advice
to young lady who complained of
sleeplessness. He said: LEARN how
to breathe and darken your room COM
pletely, and you won't need any doc
toring." "Learn how to breathel l
thought that was one thing we learned
before coming into world 80 terribly
full of other things to be learned" the
insomnia said, ruefully. con the con-
trary, not one in ten adults knows how
to breathe. To breathe perfectly is to
draw the breath in long, deep inhala-
lions, slowly and regularly, so as to re-
lieve the lower lungs of all noxious ac-
cumulations. Shallow breathing won't
do this. 1 have overcome nausea,
headache, sleeplesspess, seasickness,
and even more serious threatenings, by
simply going through breathing exer-
cise-pumping from my lower lungs, as
it were, all the malarial inhalations of
the day by long, slow, ample breaths.
Try it before going to bed, making sure
of standing where you can inhale pure
air, and then darken your sleeping
room completely. We live too much in
an electric glare by night. If you still
suffer from sleeplessness, after this ex-
pertinent is fairly tried, shall be sur
prised. "-Ram's Horn.

The Strange Companions.

A kitten and her mother lived in a
back kitchen into which hen with a
sitting of eggs was introduced. The
eggs were Matched about the time the
mother left her kitten. The chickens
and the kitten had the range of the
kitchen floor in common, and the
mother hen, evidently feeling that the
kitten was uncared for, tried to induce
her to eat meal and find shelter under
her wing. Kittie resented this last at
tention 30 vigorously that she was put
in an clubhouse where dog of the fam
lily was very familiar. The kitten and
the dog became friends. The dog used
to catch hares-for these pets lived in
England-and brought them home to
the kitten. Whether the kitten devel-
oped taste for this kind of game is
not known, but she, too, became a
poacher, and hunted with the dog.
Alas! they met the fate of all thieves;
public sentiment was reused against
them, and they were punished. The
dog was shut up, but the kitten was al
lowed her freedom. One day she was
caught in trap, and she never hunted
again. 1t was the old story of bad COM
pany. If Kittie had confined her at
tention to rats and mice, she might
have lived to green old age.

The Birch Tree that Split a Rock.

Among the hills of old Berkshire Is a
noble birch tree, gigantic in trunk and
limb and abundant in foliage, which
towers above its neighboring companions,
but grows apparently out of an immense
granite bowlder. Here, ono might think,
it would have paused, submitting to the
adamantine pressure, either crushed utter
ly to the earth or dwarfed and deformed
by its unyieldlng environment. But it
had the irresistible evolutionary forces of
nature behind it, The sunlight above
wooed it from its prison house. 1t pushed
upward toward the light. Gradually the
little crevice in the rock was widened the
great bowlder was split asunder as by the
hammer of Thor-the noble tree was
scarcely distorted by the struggle, protect
ed from destructive storms by its conquer
ed enemy.-Boston Transcript.

An American Girl ViOlinist,

The mother of Dora Valcsca Becker had,
as a child, the greatest craving to study
the violin, but her wish was never realized,
because her father, a wealthy Hungarian
merchant, was opposed to the idea of hay
ing girl educated in music. Mrs. Beck
or was therefore determined, should she
be blessed with Ii daughter, to have her
learn the violin, writes Frederic Reddall in
The Ladies' Home journal. So it came
about that the little Dora began her stud
les when only six years of age. She was
born in Galveston, her father being con
ductor of the Galveston Singing society
At the age of she made her debut at the
Galveston Opera House. AT "a second con
cert, given when she was only 8 years old
she won the hearts of the people in such a
manner that they sent her presents of jew
slry and beautiful violin.

Wanted to Die Rich.

Many years ago, according to one of
the yarns of the sea told by mariners
who claimed to have been present,
British ship having on board a large
consignment of Spanish dollars for
house in Rio Janeiro was wrecked on
the Brazilian coast. Hoping to save
some of his precious cargo, the captain
ordered some of the casks containing
the gold brought on deck, but the YES
sci was 80 badly wrecked by the con-
tlnuous pounding on the rocks that it
was soon found necessary to take to
the boats without any of the treasure.
AS the last boat was about to leave the
Inflated craft, one of the officers, to
make sure that no one was left on board,
went back to make last tour of the
ship. To his surprise, sitting beside
one of the casks with Ratchet in his
hand, he found one of the sailors.
hurry up!" cried the officer. ave
came within an ace of going off without
you" "I'm not going" replied the
sailor, giving the cask hearty whack
with the Ratchet, bursting it open, and
laughing with delight as the coin
poured out around him. "I've always
wanted to die rich. I've been poor all
my life, and this is my first and last
chance. Go ahead. III stay here with
my fortune" Argue as he might, the
officer could not persuade the fellow to
leave the gold with which he played
as a child with marbles, and he finally
had to leave him to his ia e.-Harper's

Again the pitcher raised his arm,
Again the horse.hide flew;
Great Casey spat upon the ground;
And heard 'em striking Twol
The next one came like lightning
The umpire held his breath;
For well he knew If Casey missed,
'Twould surely mean his death;
But see him swing to meet it,

oh! II you could have heard the yell,
AS Casey smashed the BALI
He caught the pig.skin on the nose

And Casey didn't even run;
He stopped awhile to talk,
And then amid the thunder. cheers,
He simply took a walk.
And now he keeps the big hotel

The people flock to see him live,
And look him up and down;
