A soldier in the guards came to me In
Queens square to swear to his having
lost his duplicate. 1 looked at the affi-
davit to see il 1t were military accouter-
ments, ETC., that he had pawned. when
to my surprise found that he had
pawned H2 bank note for los. Cd On
asking an explanation Of this odd cir
cumstance, he said he received the e2
note and was resolved to pass jolly
evening, but not to spend more than a
half guinea, and to insure this he
pawned tho note for that sum and de-
stroyed the duplicate afterward that he
might not be able 10 raise money on IL

THE HORSE MOVED ON.
Nothing Else For IL to Do When the Cable
Cur Came Along and Boosted.

c@r Came Along and Boosted.
It Is no longer novel, the little street
spectacle Of tho cable car boosting the
stalled horse, but it Is as interesting as
ever nevertheless. Here was single truck
with q heavy load drawn by horse that
was kind and gentle, but not the strongest
horse in the world, halted on the up track
Of the Broadway road the nigh hind
wheel of the truck just inside the line of
the cable slot.
The driver tried to start tho horse up,
but the horse wouldn't go. A policeman
came over from the other sidewalk and
took the horse by the head and tried to
turn 1t out and start 1t, SO as to get the
truck OF the track, but 1t was no use
The horse stood stock still.
Then the gripman Of the cable car that
had boon waiting about four feet back,
fooled the car gently up to the truck,
bringing the rigid fender of the car into
contact with the truck wheel without a
shock Then he set again on the grip
wheel, gently as before, and started the
car and the truck with 1t. The horse TO-
sented this. 1t settled back In the harness
and opposed its strength to that behind.
1t was kind and gentle, but 1t was tired,
and the load was heavy, and 1t didn t think
1t ought 70 be urged 30 soon.
But, ~ 1t soon discovered, the power DO
hind wos Irresistible. That power was ap
piled by gripman Of fine discretion, who
did not bundle the horse off the track, but
treated 1t with consideration, but 1t was @
power a. little to be resisted as that of q
glacier-a fact which the horse quickly
realized, and then it began to pull. Soon
II had pulled the truck off the track and
clear of it, and then the gripman set hif
grip wheel once more, and with no undue
exhibition of elation swept on up Broad
way.-New York Sun.

House of Gold.

Not in America, not even in the
Klondike, but in the farof east at Ran
gun, the capital of Burma, is situated
the famous golden pagoda of Buddhist
temple the whole of the exterior Of
which is one mass Of shimmering gold.
This generous coating of the metal is
the result of years and years of votive
offerings TO Buddha, for devotees from
all parts of the world come to Rangun
and bring packets Of gold leaf, which
they place on the pagoda. During the
last century, Tshewbyo Yen, the king
Of Burma, gave his Citeral weight in
gold to the walls Of the pagoda, an
offering worth $4,000. New York

Voice Described by . Specialist.
The Church Economist has been discuss
Ing the effect OF beard on the voice, and
TN a recent issue 1t quotes well known
throat and voice specialist as follows:
"The effect will depend largely upon the
individual. II the speaker has naturally
q thidk voice which he uses badly, small
amount Of obstruction will make itself
apparent. II he has clear, penetrating
voice, the effect Of q moderate amount Of
obstruction may not be noticeable, al
though itwould certainly exert some In
huence, greater or less, upon the carrying
power and resonance Of the tone.
. "A mustache will interfere In proportion
to theamount Of space which 1t encroaches
In the neighborhood of the middle Of the
mouth. Thus, q mustache trimmed to the
margin Of the. upper lip, or one rolled
from the middle Of the lip SO as to be free
Of the margin of the lip, however long II
might be at the ends, would not interfere.
A dropping mustache, on the other hand,
especially where 1t covers the middle OF
the mouth, is a great hindrance to the
proper emission of sound. The presence
Of but few hairs In this situation may
materially modify the tone waves and i'm.

On the Wrong Side.

There were special services In the
church, and every night an old, feeble
man was helped by his daughter to q
chair just In front Of the platform,
where the evangelist and the pastor sat.
He was evidently very deaf, but now
and then some familiar text reached
him, and his face lit up as he nodded
agreement No doubt, he was getting
as much as the rest of the congregation,
for he watched the speakers face close
ly, and when the hymns were sung and
the middle aged daughter had rather
fussily found the places for him he
traced the words along the lines with
his shaking forefnger. On the last
night, at the close Of the meeting, the
evangelist said, "Now will every broth
er and sister here who can truly say he
or she is on the Lord S side please riser"
The old man did not catch the words
Just as l Am" had been sung quickly,
and he was still on the last line-and
when the daughter bent down and whis-
pered reprovingly to him he = parently
understood her to say he could sit still.
AS the congregation sat down. however,
the meaning seemed to come to him.
and cloud settled ON his face.
When finally the benediction had
been uttered and all were moving down
the aisles, his daughter was saying,
No matter, pa, no matter at all
everybody knows you" The gloom did
not tighten, and every neighbor he
passed he touched ON the arm, saying.
Il am getting little hard of hearing
to think Of me not getting MP" The
daughter smiled deprecatingly each time
