when Chaucer Went 70 ItaIv.

On the LIST of December, 1872, "Geof-
fey Chaucer, esquire of the king, sent
beyond the sea to transact some secret
business of the lord king intrusted to
him by the same lord king" received,
lin moneys delivered into his own
hands, on account of his expenses" the
then considerable sum of e66 lbs. I'D.
The mission to which the poet belonged
included besides him James PrOnan and
John de Mari, a Genoese citizen, both
being named before Chaucer in the COM
mission delivered to them ON the 18th
of November of the same year. The
journey lasted till the following autumn,
and was in any case finished in Novem-
Der, 1878, for we find Chaucer on the
22d of that month receiving with his
own hands, in London the arrears of q
yearly pension granted to him some
time before by lettels patent pro bono
servitio. The sum awarded to him at
starting did not prove sufficient to cover
his expenses. He produced an account
of them, which was examined by the
exchequer. and, after some delay neces-
STATED by the verifcation of his COM
poti, further sum of e25 IS. Sd. was
allowed to him, on Saturday, the 4th Of
February, 1874. The issue roll from
which this information is derived tells
US at the same time which were the
countries beyond the sea where Chaucer
had had to go. He had travelled "for the
business of the King toward Genoa and
Florence.
Chaucer was, at the time he started,
80 years Of age, having Eeen born Gas
seems most probably i'll 1910. He had
already seen much ard gone through "a
variety of experiences. H. had made war
in France; he had been prisoner there !;
he had been i'll love- he had married ;
he enjoyed some celebrity as a poet,
having written ''m&ny an ympne" to
the god of love, his beautiful elegy on
the death Of 'Blaunche the Duchesse, {"
and, above all, lis translation Of the
"Romaunt of the Rose, !" which had
made him known on the continent and
had obtained for linn the praise Of Eus-
tache DIES Champs, the best French poet
Of the day. -Nineteenth Century.

The Loeb salmon.

Cruising along the sandy shore
and trailing the flies just where the
water suddenly becomes profound
there came to pass a mighty COM
motion. A great form doomed out of
the side of wave, broad tail swept
around in the brown water, the
line frightened bravely, the good
greenheart bent in sympathy, and
away went tho salmon, buzzing off
thirty yards of line at stretch.
The charm of these loch fish lies in
the splendid fight they show for lib
erty. Manga river fish can be play
ed under the point Of the rod and
landed without running out more
than half a dozen yards of line. But
it is far different when there is plen-
ty Of sea room, with no banks or
shoals to COW the fish and nothing
10 bar his powerful rush toward the
deep water
1t is this and the splendid display
loch fish generally makes on the
rise that compensate the fisherman
for much weary, monotonous fogg-
ing of the surface. The rise is very
characteristic of looh salmon. In
streams where it is expedient to fish
the fly deep. fish in selling it most
often never breaks the surface, but
in looh the flies cannot easily be
kept in motion if sunk. They must
be drawn along near the top, and
! the salmon must dash to the surface
to catch them, thereby imparting a
peculiar charm to this kind of sport.
Well, our fish made grand run,
the gillie bent stoutly to his oars
and followed it, the anchor was
dropped in few minutes, and the
dispute soon ended in favor of the
angler, who, peering at the index of
the steelyard, oomplacently pro-
nounced the verdict, Eighteen
pounds, neat. "-Blackwood' Maya.

THE CID FASHIONED LAuNpREss.

Flow dear to my sight are the shirts of my
past days,
When mem'ry recalls them so perfect and
fair,
That never went through any steam laundry
fast ways,
But hung bleaching and drying in purely
fresh air,
The edges unfrayed, as they danced in the
The buttonholes fractureless, free from all
rent,
The tubs with the bubbles presenting gay
sight,
And cen the stout laundress that over them
bent
The old fashioned laundress, the housekeeping
laundress,
The singing old laundress that over them
bent.
That old fashioned laundress was surely
treasure
John Chinaman then was in distant Cathay,
And dragging machines used no shirts at their
pleasure.
And chemicals then ate no linen away.
How deftly she turned them and rubbed them
and scrubbed them
And put them in boilers with honest intent,
And when, with her strong arm, she gently
had wrung them,
| We knew that the shirts needed no foreign
scent
The old fashioned laundress, the housekeeping
laundress,
The singing old iaundress that over them
bent.
Then our shirts took year and day in their
| wearing,
| The bosoms ne'er cracked like a stiff, brittle
| board
And we put them on safe without fear of a
tearing
And sung forth her praises in lofty accord.
| She ne'er disappointed in wilderness or luster,
| Nor caused us in "cuss" words our feelings
! to vent,
And we gave her the best words our brain pan
| could n lister
And said that from paradise sure she was
| sent
| The old fashioned laundress, the housekeeping
laundress,
The singing old laundress that over then,
| bent.

One of the strangest freaks in
newspaper editing was INDUCED in
few years ago in a midland town.
The editor of new evening paper
wrote leading article two columns
in length and placed footnote at
the end of the effusion stating that
it was not his intention to inflict
such long leading article on his
readers again. He faithfully kept
his promise. The paper has not ap-
peared since. Sometimes the editor
introduces delicious bull into his
leading article. On northern daily
not long ago he wrote short lead
or on Thomas Monck Mason and
sagely remarked, Though the name
of Thomas Monck Mason was once
familiar enough to the English pub
lie, the announcement of his death
will be the first intimation of his
birth to thousands of readers. -

GENERAL CLEMENT A. EVANS, c. S. A.
daunted by the mishap, Evans set out to
fulfill his orders in the full glare of day
and would have succeeded but for the
same play of fate spreading the alarm
from Fort Haskell to all the batteries
and infantry camps behind the breach.
The first attack in force was checked
half way down the works between
Steadman and Haskell. Evans then re-
called his men and formed for another
charge. This and still another were re-
pulsed with terrible slaughter, and Cor
don, finding the case hopeless, ordered
the troops back to their own lines.
Upon Gordon's corps fell the honor of
carrying the flag in the last battle of the
Confederacy at Appomattox. He attack
ed Sheridan's lines to open the Lynch
burg road of retreat for Lees army and
was fighting to that end when the sig
nal came for surrender. The advance of
Sheridan's cavalry was met by the Skin
mishers of Evans brigade. Sheridan
strengthened his line and pushed the
advance, but Evans quickly led bri-
gade to the aid of his sl1irmishers and
charged the cavalry. Gordon recalled
him with the announcement that a truce
was flying. GEORGE l.. KrLMER.

The Pope,s Snferings.

Both the Tribuna CT Rome and the
Secolo Of Milan assert that Pope Leo
XIII is very i'll man, whose sufferings
wrought by rheumatism are something
terrible. LIZ. Lapponi, the special ply
stefan at tie Vatican, will now allow
no interviews. The pope rarely ventures
out into the gardens and when he does
he is supported, almost carried, by his
attendants. The last public audience
was given by tie pope on Aug. 4, when
he was visited by the Am erican pilgrims.

Just What She Said.

1t is not always wise to dispute
people, even when their assertions
seem absolutely mistaken. The Pitts
burg Christian Advocate gives this
story of a census takers error:
Mrs. Pilgrim-Now, these boys
are sisters.
The Census Taker-No, you mean
brothers.
Mrs. Pilgrim-No, sir. / mean

The Yellow shirt Versus sunstroke.

A hint Genes from India which is
worth using when the hot summer days
are upon us. Lassitude and loss of APP
petite are among the first evidences Of
the effect of the suns heat upon the
body, and i'll hot weather many persons
who have never had sunstrOke are debil-
itated by what may fairly be called sun
fatigue, which, although not serious,
renders work Of every kind more labo-
rious than it would otherwise be. The
influence of the sun varies enormously
on different individuals, some Of whom
have to take special precautions in order
to be able to resist it. A spinal pad is
used by soldiers in many tropical coun-
tries. 1t arrests the light, which often
works such injury, but is uncomfortably
hot.
According to a royal engineer, who is
stationed in India, the boon and bless
ing beyond compare to those who have
to spend part Of their lives under
tropical sunlight is an orange colored
shirt. He declared that he frequently
fell sick after duty in the sun until he
treated himself as Photographic sensi-
tive plate and surrounded his body with
yellow light. AL clothing, however
thick, allows certain rays to pass, and
although Thick clothing would arrest all
the injurious elements Of sunlight, it
would interfere with the escape Of bod
lily heat. The yellow shirt, for sensitive
people who are much i'll hot sunlight, is
an excellent protection, only inferior to
that simplest and best Of all Indian pro-
tectives, white umbrella, which has
not yet been acCljmatCd IL tits country.

Cut on by New Military Order-Hair as
Sign Of Soldierly yalor.
One of the latest of the many new
regulations that have been imposed
upon the British army since Lord
Wolseley was placed in command of it.
is that the cherished curl that has for
the past quarter century peeped out
from under Tommy Atkins forage
cap shall go. This is an order that
strikes directly to the heart of the pri-
vate soldier, for the curl, ON the whole,
has long been his most valued posses
sion and his great point of distinctive
ness. The new rule is not regarded
with favor by the nursery maids, for
their admirers will now possess mo-
notcnous front of military brow when
on parade. The curls have been varied,
often really artistic, and one and all
smooth, shiny and well oiled.
In the late 18th and early 18th cen
turtles the soldiers wentinto battle with
a flowing wig, though it occasionally
happened that in the heat of charge
he would throw it off and plunge at the
enemy with greater ardor. Marlbor-
ough broke the power OF Louis XIV. in
powder were the invariable accompani-
ments of lie continental soldiery of
that era.
1t was not until the peninsular war
that the crop-haired, clean-shaven sol
der came into style. This vogue or
iginated in England and the soldiers
who adopted it swept Napoleon's mar
shals from the peninsula and crushed
that world-conqueror himself at Wa
terloo. Tho rule of no beard and
strapgling collar prevailed in the Brit
ish army until the Crimean war, when
it was relaxed in ortics that the soldiers
might better withstand the rigors of
the Russian winter. Since then the
English war officer has allowed tom.

fortably long. the maximum length
now being half an inch at the back and

on the recent action of Commander-in-
Chief Walker of the G. A. Z. in declin-
ing to indorse the proposed plan to
have the veterans of both armies, in
uniform, march in the Fourth of July

When Gen. Lee furled the flag and stacked
arms at Appomattox, then and there the coll
ors and uniform Of the confederacy were buried
for all time. The idol OF brave men lay shat
tered as the Stars and Stripes again f1oated in
its old-tipe place: Heroes wept at the burial,
but raised their faces to salute the flag OF an
undivided and tndiyiSaole country. And We who
still stand this side OF the weary door Of death.

realize that there is but one flag and one uni
form, one symbol and one army for cur COM
mon country. Citizenship is broader than senti-
ment. and duty greater than tender recollec-
tons But. above all. true Americanism is
chief OF this trinity OF virtues. And so tie
ex-soldiery, whether Of the north or
of the south, should maintain that
spirit OF duty, citizensn nip and Amer
fcanism which will Danish sectional
ism, bitterness and prejudice and tie Us to-
gether with a fourfold bond of respect, esteem,
affection and patriotism
Believing, therefore, as do, that in the pa
rade as proposed in New York on July next
OF the Grand Army of the Republic in national
uniform, the ex-confederates in gray uniform,
with the stars and bars. would be incongruous
and mar the harmony Of the occasion,
most cordially commend the action OF Ge2.

has taken. Our griefs are private: the sunny

our cead from the to the plain. and from
