Fully Armed.

A good story is told of young re.
cruit who enlisted in regiment sta.
toned at Aldershot. One day he was on
guard duty, and was slowly stepping up
and down when an officer approached.
After the usual salute the officer said:
"Let me see your rife"
The raw recruit handed over his rife,
and pleased expression stole over his
face. As the officer received the weapon
he said in tone Of deepest disgust:
You re fine soldier You've given
up your rifle, and now what are you
going to dor"
The young fellow turned pale. and
putting his hand in his pocket drew ont
big knife, and, preparing for business,
said in voice that could not be mis-.
understood:
"Gi' me that rife, or I'll bore hole
through you in a minute"
The officer instantly decided not to
play any further with the raw recruit,
and the rife was promptly surrendered.

Commandment. Of nudaha.

All acts Of living creatures become
bad by ten things, and by avoiding the
ten things they become good. There are
three sins of the body, four sins of the
tongue, and three sins of the mind. The
sins Of the body are murder, theft and
adultery; of the tongue, lying, slander,
abuse and gossip; of the mind, envy,
hatred and error. Therefore give you
these commandments:
First. Kill not, but have regard for
life
Second. Steal not, neither do We
rob, but help everybody to be master of
the fruits of his labor.
Third. Abstain from impurity and
lead a life of chastity.
Fourth. Lie not, but be truthful.
Speak the truth with discretion, fear-
lessly and in loving heart.
Fifth. Invent not evil reports, nei-
ther do ye respect them. Carp. not, but
look for good sides of your fellow be-
ings, so that you may with sincerity de-
fend them against their enemies.
Sixth.--Swear not, but speak decent
ly and with dignity.
Seventh. Waste not the time with
gossip, but speak to the purpose or
keep silent.
Eighth. -Covet not nor envy, but re-
joice at the fortunes of other people.
Ninth. Cleanse your heart of malice
and cherish no hatred not even against
your enemies, but embrace all living
beings with kindness
Tenth. Free your mind of ignorance
and be anxious to learn the truth, es-
pecially in the one thing that is needed,
lest You fall prey either TO skepticism
or TO errors. Skepticism will make you
Indifferent, and errors will lead You
astray, so that you will not find the no.
bic path that leads to lifo eternal

The pedigree Of tho Grant family has
been interesting people good deal of
late. Not long ago sort Of cousinship,
through their great-Rrandparents was
traced'between General Grant and JEFF
ferson Davis. More lately writer in
The Vermonter gave currency to the no.
tion that Mrs. Grant was "a daughter
Of Vermont. A Vermont editor wrote
to Colonel Grant in New York for some
authentic information ON this subject of
his mothers birthplace and he replied
as follows:
My mother was born In st. Louis, Mo. her
father was born at Cumberland. Md, and her
mother came from Pittsburg, Penn. Whoever
gave her birthplace as Vermont was mistaken.
My fathers family, however, came from
Now England, Matthew Grant having settled
at Windsor, Conn, in 1895, and the family re.
mained there until my great-grandfather. soon
after the Revolutionary war, went to western
Pennsylvania, whore my grandfather was born.
Very truly yours, FREDERICK d. GRANT.
So it appears that Mrs. Grant was not
only not a daughter of Vermont, but

A remarkable instance Of the impair
tial administration Of Justice is said to
have occurred somo years ego in a court
of Texas when young Mexican, charg-
ed with having stolen pistol, was ar
raigned. He proved beyond all doubt
that the pistol was his own, and that il
had been in his possession long before
the alleged theft occurred.
The case went TO the jury ut 12
o'clock, the usual hour of adjournment,
and the jury, who did not wish TO be
kept until the court opened again at 3
O'Clock. hurried to give in their verdict
The foreman, who had been reclining
in peaceful attitude suggestive Of
slumber during the hearing, turned to
his companions, saying:
well, boys, what do you think?
Hadn't we better give him two years?"
"All right, responded juryman.
"Put him through. or the Judge will
adjourn.
"Go ahead" said another. "We
don't want to stay here till 3 O'Clock.

"But is he guilty9" inquired a
thoughtful old gentleman.
"Well, exclaimed the foreman, after
q stare of astonishment at this view Of
the matter, "if you think he amt guilty,
let's clear him''
A verdict Of "Not guilty. |" was speed

rechy. M.caulay and Gladstone.

Mr.. .ecky was perfectly right in de-
clining, as parliamentary candidate,
to answer questions concerning his re-
ligious belief. But in citing Macaulay
as an authority for his reticence he il
not quite accurate.
The incident to which Mr.. Lecky re-
fers occurred mt Leeds in 1882. Tho in
terrogator was Clergyman, and Macau-
lay, after exclaiming. "Put that man
upon chair that may see him." pro-
ceeded to express his regret that d min
lister of religion should exhibit so in
tolerant spirit. But having exhausted
his indignation he said, "Gentlemen, I
am Christian. +"
Macaulay lost his scat for Edinburgh
in 1S47 on religious question, the
grievance against him being that he
had voted in favor of the grant to May
nooth, the training college for Irish
priests. On this subject Mr.. Gladstone
took curious and characteristic course.
When Sir Robert Peel, as prime minis
ter, proposed the grant in lS45, Mr..
Gladstone was secretary of state for tho
colonies. He, like Macaulay, voted for
Maynooth. But finding that such a
vote was contrary to the principles laid
down in his book on church and state,
which he so far recanted he resigned
his office so that his motive for changing
his opinion could not be impugned. Mr..
Disraeli taunted him with convulsing
parliament and tho country "over the
momentous question whether Irish stu
dents should sleep three in bed or only
two. "-London News.

gers favorite expression when they pull

The process of preparing coffee berries
for market was how briefly explained to
me by this kind acquaintance. When
gathered, red and round as cherries, the
berries are subjected to tho only ma
chine used throughout the work. Thi,
is not unlike nutmeg crater, or grnt
ers, which free the twin beans inside
the berry from their fleshy covering,
leaving them clean and blue. They nre
then sun dried, and on the best planta
tions this is done by spreading them on
barbecues, or cement terraces, sloped sc
as to allow the rain to run off quickly,
having cutters all around and one raised
place in the middle. The beans arc ralx
ed constantly to expose all of them in
turn TO the sun, but should there bo any
signs of rain coming over the sky the
whole crop is gathered with haste into u
heap in the raised center, and a shelter
house on wheels is drawn over the Der
ries while tho bad weather lasts. Last
of all, the berries are hand picked with
care, and the finest are put aside. Corn.
