Mistaken Kindness.

One of the first resolutions which are
formed by men and women who are
succeeding in life, that is, as measured
by the only standard in use nowadays,
increasing their possessions far beyond
their actual needs, is that they will put
safeguards around their children; the
hardships which they themselves con-
tended against shall never, if they can
help it, be encountered by their off
spring. They not only coddle them
selves, indulge themselves with unac-
customed Injuries and spare themselves
all avoidable physical exertion, but they
believe this course to be the right way
to live, and that if it is good for them,
it is good for their children. They dc
not understand that character is formed
under the pressure Of the compulsory
hardships and self denials of youth,
just as they forget that health is not a
gift or an accident, but the reward OF
abstinence and of hard work under nat
ural conditions, perhaps continued
through several generations. -Frederick

How Bashful Young Man at Last Got .
Spoon.
There is man, we'll known in ju-
dicial circles as one of the most polished
and courtly of gentlemen, who tells the
following story:
He had not, in his early youth, those
advantages which tend to produce ease
of manner. When about Is, he was
much in love with neighbours daugh-
ter, and, according to his statement,
was at this time nearly feet tall. I'M
calmly, shy and with the proverbial ubiq-
uitous hands and feet.
One Sunday he was at dinner with
his rosy checked sweetheart, and when
the guests had been served with soup
the youth discovered that he had NC
spoon. He grew red in the face and was
in an agony Of modification and dismay.
If he asked for spoon. be felt sure ev-
cry one would look at him; if he did
not eat his soup, his hostess would be
sure to remark it. What was he to dol
He felt his hands growing larger and
more in the way than ever, and his feet
caused him untold emotion by absolute
" refusing to 60 under his chair.
Great beads Of perspiration' stood out
on his face and triokled down like rain.
The situation was becoming unendur-
able when terrified cat. pursued by q
small but game terrier, rushed into the
room and sprang upon the table. The
guests jumped up, and in the general
confusion the embarrassed youth retain
ed his seat, and turning to the servant
remarked calmly, 9TH have a spoon,

"The kind of men want to hire, :"
said a newspaper publisher the other
day while talking to friend, are sell
dom to be had. No matter what their
lines of business 'isers' "a word that
rhymes with scissors) are never out Of
work and always get good money. I

"Isers?" exclaimed his companion.
"What on earth are isers?''
'To explain what they are, . replied
the publisher, let me tell you story
of want ad. Once man wished to
employ for his circus an acrobat who
could throw triple somersaults. So he
put want ad. in the paper. In reply
to the advertisement he received so let
ters. Together with a friend he read
them over. Some Of the letters he put
in pile by themselves. They were the
ones that read something like this:
"DEAR SIR-You advertise for a man who
can throw triple somersault. 1 used to throw
triple somersaults and think that after little
practice could do it again. I'd like trial.
"The other letters we're put in anoth-
or pile and ran something like this:
"DEAR SRI am good acrobat; but, while
I never have thrown triple somersaults, I think
with a little practice could do it. I'd like to
have trial.
Well, said the circus man, as he
shook his head sadly, there are 30 let
tiers from SO acrobats. Twenty-fiv of
them are "has beens,'' % are "going to

Remarks That Have Been Made Around

Remarks That Have Been Made Around
the Table.
A good story is told of a lawyer in
Chicago who considered himself a great
authority on whist. He wrote a book on
the subject, and sent it to famous Mil
! waukee player for his opinion of it. In
about week the book was returned to
him. with the following letter:
MY DEAR S1R-Your favor of the = inst,
accompanied by your book was duly received.
I have read it very carefully. 1t seems to be
q very good game, but don't think it is as
good game as whist. Sincerely yours,
It is no unusual thing to hear play
er at whist remark, after being. berated
by his partner for very bad playing,
"Well. play whist for pleasure. He
does not stop to think that he gives his
partner anything but pleasure. - Such
players cause their partners many Gun
mauvais quart d'heure. - It might be
great pleasure" for novice to play
duet ON the piano with Paderewski.
One can readily imagine how much
pleasure" Paderewski would find in
the performance. If man wants to
play whist, he should study the books
and familiarize himself with them be-
fore inflicting his play on partner who
knows any hing of the game. or else de-
vote his great mind to dominos.
It is related Of one of these gentry
that, after a hand at whist, his partner
asked him, .'Why in thunder didn't you
trump that queen of clubs?" He naive
ly replied. "Why, only had one little
trump" Sometimes, as i'll this case, the
humor-unknown to the Preparation
carries off the bad feeling engendered
by his horrid mistakes and ignorance
It is SO easy. if one would devote a lit
tie time and ordinary intelligence to
the study Of the game, to learn to play
a fairly good game of whist.
-Four players started game of whist
not long since, noted wit being one Of
them. He was dealing and made mis-
deal. He dropped his cards and burst
into laughter. "That reminds me-" said
he, "of my dear old friend. Judge Peck

was great whist player of the old
school and had scant patience with a
poor player. was passing the cardroom
one day and met one of the poorest play
ers in the club coming out Have you
been playing whist?' asked. Yes, said
he. Who was your partner?' Judge
Peckham. he replied. Did he pitch
into you pretty strong?' mo, indeed.
He only made one remark. was deal
ing and made a misdeal. The Judge
said. .tWhy, you fool, you don't even
know how to deal!'' This is the only
remark he made during the entire
game. Washington Star.

The skeleton Of De Soto.

The local historians Of Baton Rouge,
La, believe that the mortal remains Of
Fernando De Soto lie buried between
two gigantic live oaks near the present
site of Port Hudson. The books tell diff
ferent tales about the death and burial
of the great discoverer. Some say that
he was wrapped in his mantle and
thrown into the Mississippi others that
the remains were incased in a hollow
log. In 1853 three hunters -Rigsby,
Davis and Hurin-were encamped near
what is now Port Hudson. While kim
ding a fire they found a human skele-
ton in hollow log that had been lying
in drift. The bones were those Of man
six feet tall. In the log helmet, a
rusty sword and large bronze crucifix
were also found, and on one Of the fin
gers of tho skeletons hand large seal
ring. The discoveries Of this CHASTITY
memento believe that the remains were
those of De Soto, the discoverer of the
Mississippi river. The burial place Of
the bones is we'll known to the Rigsbys,
who still reside in Louisiana. ST.

GREEK FIRE.
How the Terrible Engine of Destruction
Was Used In Warfare.

How the Icrr1DIe Engine OF OBSTRUCTION
Was Used In Warfare.
Joinville, who served under King
Louis X in the seventh crusade of 1248,
gives a graphic description Of the ter
rors of Greek fire: ''It happened one
night that The Turks brought up an en-
CINE that they called the perriere (stone
thrower), terrible engine of destruc-
ton, and placed it in front of some cat
castles (chaz chateiD that M. Gaultier
de Curel and I were guarding that
night, and from this engine they threw
Greek fire at us in great quantities Ga
plante). 1t was the most horrible thing
that ever saw. When the good knight,
NJ Gaultier, my comrade, saw the fire,
he cried out and said to us: 'Seigneurs,
we are lost forever without remedy, for
if they set fire to cur cat castles we
shall be consumed and burned, and if
we leave our post we shall be -disgraced,
and so conclude that there is no one
who can defend us from this peril ex-
cept God, our blessed Creator. Order all
our men, every time the enemy throws
the Greek fire, to throw themselves On
their hands and knees and cry, Thanks
to our Lord, in whom is all power = !"
And whenever the Turks fired the first
shot we threw ourselves thus on our
hands and knees, as our commander haG
ordered. The nature of Greek fire was
such that it advanced toward us as big as
tun, and its tail extended yard in
length (une demye- came dequatrepans).
1t made such noise in coming that it
seemed as though it were thunderbolt
falling from heaven and appeared to me
like great dragon flying in the air. 1t
threw out such brilliant light that it
was as clear as daylight in our host, SO
great was it's flame Of fire. Three times
that night they threw this Greek fire at
us from the aforesaid perriere and four
| times from the great crossbow (arbeleste
tour, and every time our good King
St. Louis heard that they were throwing
| the fire at us in this manner he cast
himself upon the ground, and stretch
ing out his hands, with his face uprais-
ed to heaven, he cried in loud voice to
our Lord and exclaimed as he shed great
tears, Beau Sire Dieu Jesus Christ,
garde moy ct toute ma gent. '' ellis
toire de St. Louis" Petitot, volume 2,
page 1851
The cat castles mentioned by Joinville
were wooden towers used in sieges, and
the word came is French measure Of
length equivalent to six feet and con-
sisting Of eight pans Of nine inches
| EACH There was nothing novel in the
mere throwing of fire. 1t has always
been one of the usual incidents of sieges.
