He Did Not Know the Ropes.

Gen. Morgan of Illinois, who com
n1anded a brigade liz Davis division,
WAS ono OF those men 30 Hlouchy in his
appearance that stranger would never
have picked him for an officer Of high
rank. Ono day raw recruit of his
brigade who had lost some noosp
asked veteran where he might be
likely to find them. The veteran said
the only thief in the brigade was Jim
Morgan, who occupied a tent near the
blue flag, The recruit FASTENED TO
Morgan's tent, showed his head in
through the flaps, and asked.
= Does Jim Morgan live here?"
MY name is James Morgan, an
swered the general
'Ihen want you to hand over those
books you stole from me. r.
Il have none of your books, my
dear man"
That's a lie,' cried the soldier.
The boys say you are the only thief
in camp. Turn out them books, or I'll
grind your carcass info apple sass !"
Gcn. Morgan appreciated the Joke
and laughed heartily, but when the
recruit began pulling off his coat TO
make good his threats, the officer in
formed him of his relations to tho
brigade.
"Waal, blast me if I'd take you for
a brigadire!" said the man. "Eycuse
me, General, but / don't thoroughly

GOD'S GIFTS.



Baby runs prattling all through the house,
Now night has come all is still as mouse
And mother sits down her stockings TO darn,
For there's no little fingers to tangle her
yarn. g.
Mothers been sick and cross all the day,
And so often she's driven poor baby away,
And smacked him because he happened to
fall;
Poor little darling-he did it all.
Away he runs, laughing, with scissors and
spool, .G
And mother she frets and cannot keen cool,
And sometimes calls in loud tone or Shrek
While the fierce blush of anger mounts
quickly her cheek. -#
Poor little darling--he cannot speak
And he cries and cries till he falls asleep.
And all through his slurnber sob you
might hear
While on his soft cheek there remains tear.
Poor tired mothers, pity you so
Your hearts ache and you're weary know
But always remember, children are gifts
from God given
And You all would be happy with children
III heaven.

There is young journalist in New

prompts the remark, rather than the
person to whom he addresses it. II it
is good one, he remembers it and
uses it in his business. Sometimes he
gets as good as he sends and from the
least-expected quarters.
The other day he rushed into dairy
lunch room, not far from Park Row, To
get belated bite.
"Can l have two poached eggs on
toast in hurry?" ne asked OF the
waitress, who was pretty enough to be
stupid. He looked up at the clock as
he spoke, and saw that there were no
hands on it. So he added loosely: II

"In hurry?" said tho waitress
whose eyes followed his glance. "Why
you can have those eggs in no time

A physician who has Just returned
from visit to Persia says that tho
Persians still believe that human tears
are remedy for certain chronic dis
eases. At every funeral the bottIjng of
mourners' tears il one of the chief fea-
lures of the ceremonies. Each of the
mourners is presented with sponge
with which to mop off his face and Dyes
and after the burial they are presented
TO the priest who squeezes the tears
into bottles which he keeps. This Gus
tom is one of the oldest known in the
east and has probably been practiced
by the Persians for thousands of years.
Mention is made OF it in the old Tesla
ment. New York Tribune.

What is good for one is not al
ways good for another. This is illus
trated in a tale told como time ago
about French medical student.
While in London on VISIT the student
lodged in the hotel with a man very
sick with fever, who was continually
beseiged by his nurse to drink very
nauaseating liquids which were luke
warm. The sick man found this almost
impossible to do, until one day he
whispered to his nurse:
bring me salt herring and will
drink as much as you please.
The woman INDUCED him in his re-
quest; he ate the herring. drank the
liquids, underwent the required per-
SEPARATION, and recovered.
The French student, thinking this
very clever, inserted in his journal;
salt herring cures an Englishman of
fever
On his return to France he rre-
scrihed the same remedy TO his first
patient with fever. The patient died.
On which he inserted in his journal:
IN. y. - A salt herring cures an
Englishman, but kills Frenchman. -

htS WIS ohNeu MINI
Some years ago, upon the coast of
France, there occurred one of thosP
romantic episodes that seem to belong
TO the realm of fiction. A vessel had
foundered within sight of port-gone
down with all her cargo. Two divers
were sent to report upon the cause of
the disaster, and the prospect of rails
ing the goods. One of these repre-
sented the insurance brokers, who had
instituted the investigation, and tine
other the captain and owners of the
vessel.
The brokers' man touched bottom
first, and found himself on bed of
white sand. He was fortunate enough
almost Immediately to discover the
wreck, aud at once climbed the crags
upon which the vessel rested. In
vestigation showad him that there had
been foul play, for an auger hole was
plainly visible in tho hull of the ship
He had turned to point out his dis
covery to the other diver, who was now
by his side, when he felt himself
suddenly clutched by the waist upd
dragged down upon the sand. Here
his assailant murderously attempted to
break the glass of his helmet, hut the
asFailod man fought desperately for his
life
lie firmly believed himself to be in
the clutch of mailman, and for few
minutes the water was thick with sand
that flew up around the combatants.
In the end the first diver was worsted,
and his assailant forced him to lose
hold upon his line.
Death seemed imminent, but the
divers wits did not forsake him.
Finding that he was no match for his
adversary, he fell back and apparently
swooned, and in this condition the
other man prepared to leave him, cut
off from communication with the upper
world. He gave tho signal to be drawn
up, but as he began TO ascend tho
apparently swooning man sprang to his
feet and clutched the rising mans legs
with firm grip, and the two were
hauled to the surface together.
Then, indee I, the ready witted diver
tainted in earnest. and before he re-
gained consciousness his enemy had
escaped TO land, and when captured
WAS attempting TO leave the country.
A the trial he explained the reason of
his conduct.
1t was the old story of greed leading
to unlawful deed, and of the resulting
danger melting to fresh crime; an
overinsured cargo, a scuttled ship, and
then frantic effort on the part of the
ship owners TO avoid disgrace and pun
ishment by offering to the diver share
OF the profits on condition that tho
discovery, sure to be made by his rival,
should never be heard OF above the
surface. Youths Companion.
