Saved Anainst His wilL

Another V. c. of my acquaintance he is anything but a doctor-onoe saved trooper whose horse had been killed. His argument was rather original. The man was on foot, and the enemy-Hulus this time, and they are beautiful fight ers-were coming down at a run, and he said very decently that he did not see his way to periling his officers life by double weighting the only horse there was
 To this his officer answered, eff you don't get up behind me, I'll get off and I'll give you such a licking as you we never had in your life" The man was more afraid of fists than assegais, and the good horse pulled them both out of the scrape. Now, by the regulations an officer who insults OF threatens with violence a subordinate of his service Is liable to lose his commission and to be declared incapable of serving the queen in any capacity" but for some reason or other the trooper never report ed his superior. .-Rudyard Kipling in Youths Companion

When the Seq was Fresh wases.

The ocean was once merely braokish. and not salt, as 1t is now. This was when the earth was in its first youth and before there was any land showing at all or any animal life in the water. At this time the water was gradually cooling from it's original state of steam, and the salts were slowly undergoing the change from gases into solids. Then came the appearance of land. and later on rivers, which gradually washed down more and more salts, while at the bot tom of the ocean itself chemical action was constantly adding more brine to the waters. At present it is estimated there are in the world 8 oceans 2, 900, 900 cubic miles of salt, and the most aston ishing thing about 1t is that if all the salt could be taken out in a moment the level of the water would not drop one single inch.-New York World.
