cold can be formida BILE foe, even on a

crater remains. The summit is dome
Of snow, but the last rocks which crop
out are Individually volcanic, reddish
and grayish scorria, In fact, lava or
ash is met with everywhere during the
ascent. The materials, so far as they
have been examined, do not exhibit any
great variety. They belong to a spe-
cies of rock which is named andesite by
biologists, because it abounds in the
South American chain. Doubtless the
desire Of studying this remarkable mass
and the hope of enjoying marvellous
panorama, prompted the ascent-under-
taken, perhaps, a little too late IN the
year-which has ended so disastrously.

A Refractory Royal Patient.

King Humbert's delight in the most
fatiguing exercises. and his absolute
disregard as to the weather, which he
never allows to interfere with any
plans that he may have made, give his
doctors some anxiety There is a
good story of the late DR.. Saglione, who
died quite recently, and in whom the
King has lost a most devoted servant
and friend. Saglione rarely left his
royal masters side, whether the King
was chasing chamois in the SHOWS Of
the Alps, hunting wild boar at Castel
Fusano, or during the great and firing
reviews on the plains OF Lombardy. A
chronic cough that the King had con-
tracted, owing to constant exposure TO
all kinds of weather, drove Saglione to
despair, for his majesty absolutely re-
fused to take any remedies. One even
ing the King seemed inclined to follow
his DOCTORS advice, however, and Sag
lone accordingly sent to his room
some powders to be taken during the
night Early the next morning he went
to inquire after his patient. The King
told him that he was much better;
might almost say quite we'll" your
majesty now believes in my powders,

Did somebody-did anybody tell you?"
Miss Bristow laughed. YES" she an

he said; Miss Bristow, 1 want to go

won't you tell me where she lives?"
The maid who answered the door at
the Gaylord's had a puzzling time of
it with Orrin when he rang the bell
some twenty minutes later He looked
warm and excited and out of breath.
And when she had told him that Miss
Graicia was at home, and had taken
him into the parlor, he did not take
a chair, but stood close to the door
and waited eagerly till Gracia came
down.
He almost jumped to meet her. And
Gracia shook his hand and hesitated,
and smiled, and seemed pleased and
startled and timid altogether. And of
course the maid looked and listened.

made? You know-something blue?"
'Why-Why-O. I remember" said
Gracia, with utter bewilderment. "Why
it was a piece of an old blue shawl Of
Mrs Hyatt's-"
And Lem Kincaid knew It," said
Orrin. "He knew it!' And at that
point the parlor door closed.
The maid heard them talking for
many minutes: and frequently they
laughed. But I never deserved to
have you do it for me after that" Or
rim was saying when the door opened,
land I don't know how I'm ever going
to thank you, either"
"By just saying nothing at ALL" Ora
cha answered. II know you'll like it
here. And / do hope you'll be In my

81 hope I shall" said Orrin. Are
you going to make any more sofa pill
lows?"
eff I do, will you give me another
blue silk muffler?" said Gracia. "Give
my regards to Lem Kincaid when you

laughed again mirthfully, and the mys-
titled maid went down to see what the

Disobedience Of Orders.

The question whether an officer is
Justfned under any circumstances in
dlsopedience to the orders of his COM
mander is illustrated by the example
of naval officer long before Nelson's
time. In an undecisive naval action off
Toulon in 1743 the English Admirals
in command lost the opportunity of a
victory by shrinking from a close en-
gagement. Captain Hawke, in the Ber-
wick, CT sixty-four guns, beheld with
honest Indignation this cruel wrong to
his country. and, seeing no prospect Of
a general action, boldly, and in def
ance ot orders. quilted his station. and
selected the Poder-a Spanish ship Of
equal force-as his adversary After
a very smart engagement of half an
hour, he took her, and had possession.
She was retaken, owing to the mis-
management of two English Admirals:
but Hawkes. honor was not taken in
her. After the memorable court-mar-
tial had decided ON the merit of the
Admirals, a flag promotion took place.
in which the name of Captain Hawke
was passed over. His Majesty King
George demanded of his Minister why
that officers name was omitted. The
reply was that, in the late trial, it APP
peared that Captain Hawke had dis
obeyed orders by quitting the line to
night the Poder. What" said the in
o1gnant monarch, disgrace a man for

cernment was rewarded by the defeat
OF Conhans in 1853. 1t is said that his
majesty, ON hearing the news, pulled
on his wig, and kicked it about the
Palace of Kensington for joy, congratu-
iaung himself on having been the in
strument of so much good fortune to

TT seems lately" writes another par
ent, that my son, Johnnie, is always
doing something that is wrong, and
while Mr.. X was head master l never
had one complaint. 1t seems strange
that the boy should turn bad all at
once" Mr.. x, it is true, never had
complained. He was, perhaps, wiser
in his generation than his successor:
but reference to the defaulters' books
showed that Master Johnnie had in four
terms under Mr.. X been caned four

letter by call, told the head master
that "loafing'' invariably meant pick
ing pockets" while his son had merely
been breaking windows, and he would
not believe that 1t was used only to
mean wandering idly about the streets
after dark. He took his boy away.

result of much handling, some OF

and as no one wanted them for

aside. After several weeks of rest
buyers are again coming to us for
