The SubJugated Master,

keeps dog, when it is patent to all
unprecedented minds that the dog keeps
him and makes him his slave-as you
walk, l say, with such a companion,
the flow of talk will be arrested, t he
point of story lost, by the vagaries of
the dog. He is nowhere to be seen,
and has to b. whistled for Again and
again is the whistling repeated. But
not until even the slavish masters pa
thence is nearly exhausted does the
obedient creature come bounding

made master and friend await his
pleasure, and afforded another instance
of the subjugating power of dog over

wouldn't Use False Keys.

The notion that alcohol may do good
because for moment it seems to dc
good was well answered by a physj.
clans response to a man who was some,
what too much given to the pleasure
of the table. This man had said to the
doctor:
"What do you think of the influence
of alcohol on the digestion, DOCTOR"
81 think that it's influence is bud, u
said the physician.
But little whisky taken just be-
fore meal is the only key that will
open my appetite, doctor"
II don't believe IL opening things
with false keys, Sir" answered the
other.
This response was particularly APP
plicable, for falsely stimulated APP

NECESSITY OF CAVALRY.
1t Is an Indispensable Factor in Modern
Warfare.

Since the days when Ziethen and
Seidlitz contributed so brilliantly to
the the victories of Frederick the
Great, the cavalry arm has undergone
considerable vicissitude. quarter of
a century ago the conviction was all
but universal that there was no longer
any meter for cavalry on the battle
field.
At every field day, in every news
paper, the cavalry was told that it's
sun had set forever, and it was little
wonder that under pressure so power
full the mounted arm came to distrust
its own potentialities. But under the
test of actual battle the theories of the
pessimists went to water, and at Mars
la-Tour the charges of Bredow's brig
ade and of the First Guard dragons
proved triumphantiy what results we'll
led and well-disciplined cavalry could
accomplish, even in the most unfavora-
BILE condition and against infantry still
mistaken.
The great fact came then to be real
lied that the very intensity of the in
fantry struggle creates moments of
crisis, when the influence of control no
longer has sway, and when, in spite of
the fire of breech-loading rifles, the
bravest infantry, if assaulted at the
right moment, may be ridden over like
flock of sheep. Mars-la-Tour created
revolution in the estimate of the
cavalry arm held by the great powers
of Continental Europe. Since that
memorable day they have been unani-
nous in the conviction that an ade-
quate force of highly-trained cavalry is
absolutely indispensable to the safety
and success of a modern army in the
field, and they are exerting earnest
and continuous effort to perfect the
efficiency of their mounted arm in
every detail. -Blackw woods Magazine

The Gentry of Colonial Maryland.

The gentry of col onial Maryland,
under the rule of the earlier Calverts.
lived on the great plant ations in dwell
ings that were acc essible by water.
The bay and rivers were almost their
only highways and the obliterated
little thorp of st. Mary's, founded on
the site of an Indian village whereof
the memory is dear to every son of the
soil, was their only city. At home
they sat on stools and forms, and dined
without forks, cutting their meat with
their rapiers. But their walls were
wainscoted, and their chambers COM
fortably bedded. Tea and coffee they
rarely tasted, and sugar was luxury,
but sack and cider and punch flowed
free. Witness the facetious instruc-
tions of Gov Calvert tc Col. Price, to
bring certain articles to Fort st. Ini-
goes Tor the use of the soldiers: And
upon motion of sack, the said governor
babe him bring sack, if he found any
In the early records of the province
there is more sack than Falstaff's
drawer ever scored. The colonial gen
try dispensed ardent spirits at funerals,
and clinlled the sack-cup at christen-
ings: and they affected signet-rings
with their leather breeches and boot
hose. Cattle-stealing was not in fashion;
onlya sheriff of Kent was once charged
with that otfense, while a governor of
Virginia was convicted neither wa.s
there ever an execution for witcncraft
in the province of Maryland. Century.
