1t is reported that the followers of
Haddah Mullah, in the Shabkadr dis

are returning to Khyber Pass. The
British troops are massing along the
disturbed line, and several columns
have been sent out In different direc-

A slight skirmish has occurred near
Hangu, from which point a small col
umn was dispatched and secured the
districts of Atagmir, Nawimela and
Turi. They found the enemy's posts
deserted. There was some firing, but
the enemy refused to he engaged at
close quarters.
The Subadara commanding the Null

which formed a part of the garrison
at Fort Lundi-Kotale, arrived at jam

thusiastic reception, the entire garrison
turning out and cheering as they en-
tered the town. The Mullagoris cut
their way through the enemy after the
capture of Fort Lundi-Kotal and
marched to their own country where
they buried their dead and reassured
their friends. They then proceeded for
Jamrud, which they reached in safety.

The Bishop and His Bun.

The Bishop of Worcester, England,
once had occasion to travel through
Banbury by rail. Being desirous to
test and at the same time to encourage
the far-famed industry of that town,
and the train having stopped for O
short time at the station, he beckoned
to small boy standing near at hand
and inquired the price of the cele-
brated buns. "Threepence each, !"
said the boy. The Bishop thereupon
handed him sixpence and desired him
to bring one to the car, adding: "And
with the other threepence you may
buy one for yourself" The boy shortly
returned, complacently muaching his
Banbury, and handing the threepence
in coppers to the Bishop, exclaimed:
"There was only one left, guv'nor. -

SMALLEST HORSE COMPARED WITH DOG.

cano, a celebrated nobleman horse
fancier, whose four-in-hand of small
Shetland ponies have taken first prizes
at every horse fair in Europe for four
or five years.
The Marchese Carcano told the Rome
correspondent of the New York World
that he is about to make tour of the
world with his team of Shetland ponies,
and will also take with him his smallest
horse, Leo, which has won the gold
medal at the Milan.
Leo, the smallest horse, is q full
grown animal which has been reared
on the stock farms of the Marchese,
and is the surprising result Of num-
Der of interesting experiments. The
smallest Shetland ponies are never un-
der eight hands high, which is equal
to thirty-two inches, and is eleven
inches taller than Leo. The latter is
no less remarkable for his perfect
symmetry than for his minute proper
tions. He is q beautiful chestnut,
with shaggy tail, which reaches almost
to the ground. His neck measures ten
inches. and his head from his face is
Just about six inches. From his fore
legs to the hindlegs Leo measures just
as much as his height, and his chunky
legs are exactly ten inches long.

A Bright Retort.

Sergeant Garrow once had an archi-
tect in the witness-box and thus in
terogated him:
"You are builder, I believer"
''No, sir, am not builder; 1 am
an architect.
"Ah, we'll, builder or architect;
architect or builder; they are pretty
much the same, I suppose.
"No, totally different.
"Oh, indeed! Perhaps you will
state wherein this great difference
consists?"
can architect, sir, conceives the de-
sign, prepares the plans, draws out
the specifcations-in short, supplies
the mind. The builder is merely the
machine; the architect the power that
puts the machine together and sets it
going"
"Oh, very we'll, Mr.. Architect, that
will do. A very ingenious distinction
without difference. Do you happen
to know who was the architect Of the
Tower of Babel?"
"There was no architect, sir; hence
the confusion there"

What Some Platea Cost.

The plates that are most popular
among multi-millionaires are of Min
ton ware. They cost S274O each. A
plate of plain gold costs just about the
same sum. They are very handsome,
as they we'll might be at the price.
These gems for the tables of the rich
have an exquisite painting in the CEN
tre of each. They are painted by the
celebrated Boulliniere, and the de-
signs are taken from old miniatures.
The coloring of these little pictures is
simply exquisite, and every tiny detail
of the face, hair and costume is worked
out with the daintiness of perfection.
The picture is surrounded by lace
like pattern in raised acid gold. The
edges of the plates are open work in a
lace design, decorated with running
pattern in gold.

"Pa'sn Orders.

A ludicrous episode of the Civil War
is told in Southern paper:
During the early months of the war
a certain brigade was being drilled in
Virginia. Brigadier-General was
a Louisianian, and his son, also of
that State, was his Adjutant. The
Generals voice was not as strong as it
might have been, and his son often re-
peated his orders for him. On the
occasion in question the brigade was
marching in fours, and the Brigadier-
General gave the order. "Head of the
column to the left" His son, the Ad-
iutart, dressed to kill, galloped for
ward, and when he reached the head
OF the column shouted in his powerful
voice, "Pa says head of the column to
the left" Discipline had not been
perfected then, and what "Pa"
wanted very nearly broke up the
ranks, hundreds of men laughing as
they marched at the Adjutant's infu-
sion of domestic relations into mill
tary tactics.

surfmen residing in the vicinity of the
respective stations.
Each station has keeper who has
direct control of all its affairs The
position held by this officer will be
recognized at once as one of the most
important in the service. He is,
therefore, selected with the greatest
care. The indispensable qualitica-
tions for appointment are that he shall
be of good character and habits, not
less than twenty-one nor more than
forty-fve years of age; have sufficient
education to be able to transact the sta
tion business; be able-bodied, physi-
cally sound, and a master of boat-craft
and surfing.
Upon original entry into the service
surfman must not be over forty-fve
years of age, and sound in body, being
subjected to rigid physical examina-
ton as to expertness in the manage
ment of boats and matters of that
character by the inspector of the dis
trict.

they can be run out of the boat room,
with the lines upon them, for use else
where. The station is usually moored
above the dam at a place which will
afford the readiest access to boats
meeting with accident. but it can be
towed from place to place when neces-
sity requires, as was the case in the
great floods of 18S3-'S4, when it was
of incalculable service in rescuing
people from the upper stories and
roofs of their inundated dwellings,
and in distributing food to the famish-
ing. On these two calamitous occa-
sions the crew of this station rescued
and took to places of safety over 800
imperiled persons-men, women and
children-among them many sick and
infrm-and supplied food and other
necessities to more than 10000.
The number of men composing the
crew of a station is determined by the
number of oars required to pull the
largest boat belonging to it. There
are some fve-oared boats in the At
lantic stations, but at all of them there
is at least one of six oars. Six men,
therefore, make up the regular crews
of these stations, but q seventh man
is added on the first of December, so
that during the most rigorous portion
of the season a man may be left ashore
to assist in the launching and beach
ing of the boat and to see that the sta
tion is properly prepared for the COM
Portable reception Of his comrades and
the rescued people they bring with
them on their return from a wreck;
also to aid in doing the extra work
that severe weather necessitates.
Where the self-rightlng and self-bail-
ing boat, which pulls eight oars, is
used, mostly at the lake stations, a
corresponding number of men is en-
ployed.
The crews are selected by the keep
ers from able-bodied and experienced

"Merchant of Venice" when the suitors for
Portals hand choose between the caskets-
the golden, the silver, the leaden. The

finds the portrait wins the living bride, The
value Of our Bible Is not in its words and
phrases-these are the mere caskets; 1t Is In

whole Book. from the opening scene in the
Garden to the closing scene at the Judg-
ment. And he best uses the Bible who
knows how to open this casket, to look be-
meath it's words and phrases, to see the
Christ whose image is enshrtned there. and
then to look up and see the living Christ at
his side and take him as friend and a
bridegroom because he has found this divine
image in the Book-Lyman Abbott, D. D.

would naturally appear to be replete
with dangers, are provided with nu-
merous harbors and places of shelter
in which, upon short notice, vessels
can take refuge. The portion of the
Massachusetts coast included, al
though less favored with safe resorts,
enjoys the excellent guardianship of

parts of the coast shall have been pro-
Fided for.
The life-saving stations upon the
ocean beaches are generally situated
among the low sand-hills common to
such localities, sufficiently back Of
high-water mark to be safe from the
reach of storm tides. They are plain
structures, designed to serve as bar
racks for the crews and to afford con-
Senient storage for the boats and ap-
paratus. Most of those upon the Long
Island and New Jersey coasts have
been enlarged from the boat houses
put up to shelter the boats and equip
ments provided for the use of volun-
teers before regular crews were en-
ployed. Those built later are more
comely in appearance, while a few,
located conspicuously at popular sea-
side resorts, make some pretensions to
architectural taste. They are oil desig-
mated by names indicating their locali-
ties.
In the majority Of stations the first
floor is divided into four rooms--a
boat room, mess room (also serving
for a sitting room for the men),
keepers room and store room. Wide,
double-leafed doors and a sloping plat
form extending from the sills to the
ground permit the running out of the
heavier equipments from the building
The second-story contains two rooms;
one is the sleeping room of the men,
the other has spare cots for rescued
people, and is also used for storage.

two additional rooms--a square room
and a kitchen. In localities where
good water cannot be otherwise OBJ

Wreckage.

There is deadly destructive power work
ing tirelessly all over our land. 1t de-
stroys not only homes and property, but
men, women and children, to all eternity.
In every little hamlet in the great Empire
State its wreckage may be found.
Look about you and see.
In one pretty rural village, whose history
dates back nearly a century, and where
families of wealth, culture and refinement
made the society delightful, the wreckage
is painfully apparent. The broad lands Of
one of these families have just been sold
under mortgage foreclosure, and the fam
lily will soon be extinct. DR.. Richardson
said that alcoholism would in three genera
tions cause the extinction OF the family,
and this is being proved.
In this village are two "gold cure gradu-
ates" and worse than widowed mother
caring for five children, who have been de-
serted by the talented drink-besotted
father.
Now the death fountains in that village
are closed by the will Of the sovereign peo-
pie, but the wreckage remains. Will people
ever arise from their deadly lethargy and
put this murderous drink traffic DOWN.

The work of the life-saving service
of the country during the past year
has been so creditable as to be highly
pleasing to the governmental officials
here. There have been fewer dis
asters and more lives saved on the
coast in the last year than ever before
in the history of the country. With
out question the life-savinS service OF
the United States is the superior of
that of any Nation in the world. This
is demonstrated every day.
Many stories are told, and many
novels written of the hardy and sturdy
volunteer life savers of England, but
these veterans do not comtare with
the trained, brave life crews of our
own country.
During the fiscal year 1S95-'96 there
were 1920 disasters on the coasts of
the British isles. Despite the efforts
of the life savers 45S lives were lost.
Along the immense coast of this
country, including also the great
lakes, there were, during the same
period, $50 disasters and only twenty
lives lost. The figures of rescues are
not given, but the lives saved by
American life savers are far in excess
of the number saved by the English.
There are 256 life-saving stations in
this country. Of these tifty-fve are
on the lakes. There are only fourteen
: stations on the Pacific coast, and these
do comparatively little work. Few
disasters are credited to this coast.
The Cape Cod district of this country
is the worst of any section, furnishing
more disasters than the same stretch
of any other part of the United States.
From the eastern extremity of the
coast of Maine to Race Point on Cape
Cod, a distance of AIS miles, there are
but sixteen stations, ten of these be-
ing located at the most dangerous
points on the coast of Maine and New
Hampshire, which, although abound
ing with rugged headlands, islets,

damage. This substantial construc-
tion also enables them to be easily and
cheaply moved when threatened by
the gradual encroachment of the sea,
which, upon many sections of the coast,
effects in the course of years great
changes in the confguration of the
coast line.
At Louisville, Ky, are dangerous
falls in the Ohio River, across which
a dam has been constructed. Naviga-
tion there is dangerous, and a station
is established. The floating station at
Louisville is a scow-shaped hull, on
which is a house of two stories, sur
mounted by lookout. Besides the
housekeeping furniture there are but
few equipments; two boats, called life
skiffs, and two reels, each with a ca
pacity to hold coil of tive-inch man
lila rope, and so placed in the boat
room that O boat can be speedily run
out from either, or, if desired. that
