The AdmIral's Apology.

On one of his visits to his village
home Admiral Gainsborough attended
the parish church. The lesson was
from that portion of scripture that
tells of the shipwreck of st. John.
And the sailors cast three anchors
astern," said the clergyman. Did
FOOLS" said Gainsborough, half asleep.
The congregation was horror stricken,
and the admiral. thinking to save
something by way of apology, arose
in his pew and remarked: Ladies and
gentlemen. l was somewhat somnolent

my ejaculation, but l desire to say in
self defense that any commander of a

ing three anchors astern, for in doing
that he would pull the end out of his

Who will say that electricity may not
yet be brought into use to turn aside
even the heaviest projectiles that may
be sent hurting from the largest and
most accurately aimed modern guns?
AT an experiment with army rifles near
Berne, Switzerland, it was found that
all the bullets went wide of the tar
gets. Investigation showed that, par
allel to the range, and at a short dis
lance from it, there was an electric line
which had caused the bullets to de-
Meet from their course. In order to
test the matter, the military authOri
ties laid four steel cables at distance
OF about forty yards from the range
which was little less than 300 yards
in length. The cables were then
charged with strong current and the
hiring was resumed. 1t was then as
certained that the detection for the
distance, $50 feet, was about 20 feet
when longer range was used the de-
lection was proportionately increased
In some experiments with artillery at
range of 5000 yards it was found
that the DETECTION amounted to no less
than IA degrees. An army in the field
may yet be protected against lombard
ment through this invisible force far
more completely than by the strongest
Notifications that man can construct.

LincOIu's Good Breeding.

The writer remembers very we'll to

member Of the Speed household, say
that, though at that time Lincoln had
none of the polish and gracefulness to
be expected from those acquainted
with usages of society, he was one OF
natures gentlemen because OF his kind
ness of heart and innate refinement.
And after saying this she recalled an
instance of real good manners on his
part. At dinner there was saddle Of
mutton. The servant, after handing
the roast. passed glass of jelly. Mr..
Lincoln took the glass and ate the jelly
from it. The servant got another glass
and passed 1t around. Mr.. Lincoln
noticed that the others at table merely
took spoonful. Without embarrass-
ment or apology he laughed quietly
and remarked. Il seem to have taken
more than my SHARE" and then he
went on with his dinner. Most per-
sons, this lady thought, after commit
ting such solecism would have been
covered with confusion and profuse in
apologies. Gilmer Speed in La

piled, You will find him big enough

A VIRTUE WOMAN LACKS.
PUnctuality Is the Pink OF Perfection
So Some Men Say.


So Some Men Say.
Among other virtues a woman should
endeavor to cultivate that of punctual-
ity, says the Galveston Tribune. Nay,
she ought often to take more pains
about fostering this good quality than
about many others, not because it is Of
itself more highly to be esteemed but
because most women are SO lamentably
wanting in it, The prompt and pune
tual woman is sort Of pleasing,
though strange, phenomenon to her
men friends, and she is sure to gain
their appreciation for her most unusual
quality. 1t is a standing joke with
men that women are never exactly
punctual in the fulfillment of any en-
eaeenent they may make. Thus, when
a girl arranges with her brother to &C
out riding with him at o'clock he
generally quietly orders his horses to
be brought round at 4;30, feeling sure
that otherwise he and the groom would
be kept waiting about for an hour,
greatly to the hindrance of their differ
ent occupations A man may laugh at
a woman who keeps him waiting when
ever she has made an engagement with
him, but he does not like it any better
than We like being kept waiting on
those comparatively rare occasions
when our men folks turn the tables on
us. Busy men are generally the most
punctual, for they realize the truth of
the old adage time is money" and
therefore are careful neither to waste
1t for themselves nor cause other peo-
pie to do so. The want of punctual-
ity in a business man is perhaps more
noticeable a fault than in a woman
living at home, but even in her it is
a very serious defect 1t is perfectly
easy, too, to remedy it If only you will
set your mind to do SO. You perhaps
have way of always being little
late for meals-is it not due to your
allowing yourself rather too little time
to get ready for them? There is no
reason, then, why you should not start
your preparations little earlier. You
are quite right to like to make yourself
fresh and dainty before sitting down
to meal, so don't put yourself in the
wrong by not doing this at the right
time

Professor Trent in the course Of an
essay in the Forum on Theodore
Roosevelt as a Historian" gives high
praise to his narrative of the colonial
ton of Western America. AS a spe-
cimen OF Mr. Roosevet's style he
quotes the following description Of
the British officers who in the early
days occupied frontier posts in Amer
lea. Mr.. Roosevelt says: The import
ant people were the army officers.
These were imperious, able. resolute
military standard of honor. They up
held with jealous pride the reputation
OF an army which in that century
proved again and again that on strick
en- fields no soldiery of continental
Europe could stand against it. They
wore uniform which for the last two
hundred years has been better known
than any other wherever the pioneer
than any other wherever the pioneers
of civilization tread the worlds waste
spaces or fight their way to the over
lordship of barbarous empires, a uni
form known to the southern and the
northern hemispheres. the eastern and
the western continents. and all the
islands of the sea. Subalterns wear
ing this uniform have fronted dangers
and responsibilities such as in most
other services only gray headed gener
ais are called upon to face. and, at the
head OF handfuis of troops, have won
for the British crown realms as large
and often as populous as European
kingdoms. The scarlet clad officers
who serve the monarchy of Great Bril-
tain have conquered many barbarous
people In all the ends Of the earth, and
hold for their sovereign the lands Of
Moslem and Hindoo. of Tartar and
Arab and Pathan. OF Malay. Negro. and
Polyneslan. In many war they have
overcome every European rival against
whom they have been pitted. Again
and again they have marched to VIC
tory against Frenchman and Spaniard
through the sweltering heat of the
tropics; and now. from the stupendous
mountain masses of mid-Asia, they
look northward through the wintry
air. ready to bar the advance of the
legions of the Tsar. Hitherto they
have never gone back save once: they
have failed only when they have
sought to stop the westward march Of
a mighty nation. nation kin to theirs.
a nation of their own tongue and law.
and mainly OF their own blood.
