They Were Ready.

One of the district school trustees was crank on the subject of fire, and when he called around with the exam ming board he always confined his re- marks to question addressed to the pupils as to what they would do in case the building should catch fire.
 The teacher was acquainted with his hobby, so she prompted her scholars as 70 the answer they should give when be arose to propound his accustomed inquiry.
 When the board called, however, this particular trustee, perhaps from desire to emulate his associates in their addresses, rose and said:
 You boys and girls have paid sucn nice attention to Mir. Jones' remarks, wonder what you would do if l were to make you a little speech?"
 Quick as thought hundred voices piped in unison:

Parlor Curtains.

When it Is necessary to use sash cur tains at front windows, especially those of a parlor or drawing-room, the ugly hedroomy effect that they often have may be changed into one quite pleasing and artistic by setting across the lower third or half of the window a narrow frame of Venetian bent-iron in a simple pattern, which frames in a curtain of eolored China silk very prettily. The two pieces of the frames that make rho top and bottom should be wider than the sides. The curtain should be secured at the top bJ running it through very small brass rod.-N. Y. Post.

A PRINCE WHO COULD FIGHT.
Duke William of Wurtemberg and His
 Heroic stand at Magenta.


 Duke William of Wurtemberg, heir 10 the throne of the kingdom, who died early in the month at Meran, Was perhaps the most valorous royal prince in all Europe. By his personal bravery md tenacity at the battle of Magenta he enabled handful of troops to hold in check the pursuing Frenchmen, ana to save nearly two-thirds of the defeated Austrian army under Count Clam Fallas and Baron Ramming.
 The duke was ordered to hold Ma genta to the last possible moment. He had two battaiiofis of his own regiment, two companies from another regiment and half battery. The French had two regiments of the foreign legion and u regiment of zouaves for their at- tack. Four times as the FrenchmeD advanced. the duke led out his men, with fixed bayonets, and forced the enemy back. During the last bayonet charge the color-bearer of his own reg inent was shot. The duke dsmount- ed, seized the colors, mounted and caied his men on. His horse was shot dead; he extricated himself, and was stlil in the lead. He was shot in the foot and he fell. but he was up again in an in- stant. still waving the colors, and shcLt- ing encouragement to the troops.
 When the railway station at Magenta was abandoned by the Austrians who had held it. and the French swarmrd in over the captured ground, the duke be- gan holding his little command entirely on the defensive. With pistol in one hand and sword In the other, he fought from house to house and street to street, as stubbornly as any private, until after four hours of unequal conflict he learned that the Austrian army was saved; then he retired. He was the last one of the Austrian army to leave Magenta, and he left riding horse which had run into his lines after los ing it's French rider.-Chicago Journal.

 One of Washington's scientific mer found himself in an assemblage where there were a great many young peo. pie He attempted to rise-or. perhaps to descend-to the occasion as grace fully as possible. Having been intro. duced to a number of young women he tried to make himself agreeable br explaining some of the latest informs. ton on ethnology and he became SD absorbed in his discourse that he did not notice, until they were nearly all gone, that a youth with n nasal voice was winning his audience away from him wSth a funny song. He tried if again with archaeology as the theme, A girl with banjo wrecked his ambi. tions. He thought he was malinr some headway by means of his remarks on paleontology when a man who took rabbit out of silk hat eternallv quenched his pride.
 My dear" he said to his wife on their way home, ''I have been thinking it over and l find that the evening has been far from wasted.
 'I was very much afraid that you would feel differently about it"
 No. Ihave made very important and interesting discovery. The merest accidents sometimes lead to the most important revelations, and tonight I learned something which completely overturns an accepted theory"
 "Is it possible?"

 "Yes."
 "Well, have found out tonight that there are times when we can't hold a candle to the attraction of levity."- Washington Star.

SONG OF THE coNouERoRs.

 Let us sing the new song of the conquerors of the earth; The battle song Is still the song that thrills. Let us sing our song of soldiers, men of wisdom and of worth; But the soldier that we sing of never kills But he fights with wind and ice-fioes in the welter of the seas, And he drives his hre-lunged war horse through the night; Through the snowstorm and the midnight hear his iron courser wheeze; Here Is battle worth the singingl Here is fight! Let us sing the new song of the conquerors of the world The axemen of the forests of the north. The smoke-fiag from their log camp on the frozen air unfurled Beckons to the waiting millions to come forth. Old Solitude has nodded on his throne a thousand years, But he wakens at the axe stroke Let him flee: For he hears the rattling engine shriell- ing in his deadening ears, And he hears the roar of cities yet to be. Let us sing the new song of the conquer ors of the earth, The song of the plowmen of the west. W lAc AitohS a idAiu Ol p4cHly WutIc they liIlu a land of dearth, And the serpent swamps are changed to homes Of rest. Sing the men who lay the highway where the palace car is whirled, And the iron monster thunders down the rail; Strong as men who fought with dragons, tanners of the savage world, These are the men who fight with Chaos, and prevail. Let us sing tho new song of the conquerors of the earth, For the soldier race has not departed yet . Far up the western mountains see the gun less hosts go forth The soldiers of the Brotherhood of Sweat Our war is never ended and the fray is but begun,
 We battle till the coming of the night; And we'll grapple with foeman at the setting of sun; We're enlisted while our day lasts. Let us fight!

 "No." Angela managed to answer. "Not at all; it is very nice-very nat ural, mean"
 Mollie's heart gave a first, faint throb of hope on seeing how closely the luna tic was attending to Angela's words. To have his mind we'll fixed on Darling ham was the best way of keeping dead ly thoughts out oft.
 Do you know natter? And can you direct me to the shop?
 Certainly"
 With his staring eyes fixed straight before hlm, he began fumbling in his pockets. From one of them he finally produced small leather case. The eyes of the girls followed his movements with a terror far more deadly than any which had before possessed them. Mol lies pupils dilated still more; the man had drawn something from the case. What was it--that thing clasped within his hand? The lunatic's sudden draw ing forth of a razor from bag, his ad- dress to the other occupant of the car riage, Il am about to sharpen this for you 1 have been studying your throat; it looks as if it would cut we'll"
 Il shall follow your directions close ly," he paused in the doorway of the carriage to say. Excuse me, l have not a moment to lose. Au revoir, young ladies'"
 He disappeared from sight at once. Angela's nerves broke down completely in the sudden relation of the strain.
 Let us call the porter. Quick, quick"
 Even as she spoke the train-which still had to make up for lost time-Nas in motion. For some awful instants the girls eyes were riveted in agony on the door.
 We are safe! safe at last! Heaven be thanked!"
 Next morning as Angela passed through the haii, fly, with luggage, drew up al the door. The interchanged greetings, Hello, professor!" Well, Toml" reached her ears. Tbe first voice was the squire's, hearty and wei coming; the sound of the second made Angela start and turn abruptly round. Descending from the vehicle appeared long, thin figure, with gaunt face and staring eyes. His head was not bare but covered by soft hat. Still there was no mistaking-t lunatic!
 Some hours later the Treyors were holding private conference with the lady of Mapledene in her boudor. Tears of laughter still filled the eyes of the latter.
 Il cannot help it, girls, you mustn't mind 1t is too killing!" she sad. Anyone would have made the ms take. l never saw the man until now. Such being. No wonder you thought him a lunatic. c."-London Punch.

THE MAN IN THE TRAIN.

The northern express was about to leave the Tedcroft Junction when two girls rushed into the station. They had just time to hurry into the first car riagc at hand and have their bags and rugs bundled in after them, when the whistle sounded and the train starteds
 How l hate a rush." exclaimed An gela Trevor, the elder of the two sis ters, a handsome, resolute-looking girl, as she sank breathless into her place. sIt is so upsetting to one's nerves"
 "Disarranges ones clothes, too" added Molly.
 ''To think of our not having had time to select a carriage for such long jour- neyl" said Angela.
 Both glanced involuntarily to the other end of the carriage, where their one fellow traveller sat in the corner seat on the same side with Angela. His head and face were hidden from view by the ample pages of the Times spread out before him. Two long, tweed-clad legs were stretched out, finished with fiattish feet in well-fnished boots. At the side glimpses showed of a shoulder, an arm, and a thin, nervous-l looking hand.
 He looks all right" Molly said, care lessly thrusting Il hairpin into her back hair.
 "Undeniably a gentleman" said An gela, with decision. He has a good tailor. and his boots are unexceptional."
 The girls settled down for the journey, extracting from among the surrounding impedimenta the usuat literary solaces in the way of newspapers and wildly bound books. First however, they talked over in low tones the visit on which they were going in Yorkshire. Their hostess was a friend and con temporary, who had lately married the squire of Mapledene. The girls were full of excitement, surmise and pleasant anticipations regarding the visit to their friend in her new place and posi- tion. 1t was some time before the flow of conversation ceased, and they took up their books. Angela was soon en- gagged in following the unwholesome career of Il modern heroine through all its risky intricacies. Mollie had chanced on volume of short stories, plainly in spired by the triumphs of Sherlock Holmes. They were full of ghastly ad- ventures with criminals and lunatics; the situations, though infinite in va riety, were all alike thrilling and blood curdling. Mollie's youthful imagina- tion took fire; one story. an adventure with lunatic in n railway carriage, es- pecially excited her. 1t was not par ticularly happy selection for railway journey. She looked up from the pages with shudder. her blood running cold. 1t was only in books, however, that awful, creepy adventures happened to travellers. She had never known a real person who was unlucky enough to meet criminal or lunatic in train. As the reassuring thought entered her mind, her eyes wandered to the far end of the carriage. They unexpectedly met those of the man in the corner seat; the shock was sharp and violent. He was sitting up, the Times folded on his knees, allowing his whole face to be seen. Such facei Just like so many of those described in the stories Molie had been reading. The coincidence was extraordinary and startling. The girl s
