Jamie Passed All Right.

Jamie has big sister, blooming, bound
ing destroyer of hearts, and the principal

He always was afraid of catching cold. He

Principal, still smiling on the big sister, in
serted his feet in his rubbers and then he
braided himself up in the most amazing
fall that ever an educated man accom-
plished. The big girl picked him up and
extracted him from his stationer footwear,
but she was shaking with laughter.
Next day Jamie, sweet seraph, drifted
past the principals desk with look of an.
gelic innocence on his chubby face.
He paused a moment.
"Who called you?" asked the petulant
principal.
The kids called me. They called me rub

A Life Full OF Risks.

"One of the unluckist fellows ever knew
in the Civil war, that survived his army
experience, tells grimm old veteran,
was man named Horton, from Plainfeld,
ct. At the breaking out of the unpleasant
ness he enlisted in the navy and was wreck
ed at the Bahamas. Shortly after that he
undertook to rnn prize into port, but was
himself run in by the enemy and brougat
by in Libby"
THAT was hard luck.n
That's only beginning of my story.
When Horton was exchanged he was on
the ship that was to tow the Monitor to
Charleston. The vessel went down, you
will remember, and while he was attemp-
ting ro rescue some of the crew he drifted
off into the gulf and was not picked up
until the next day. He came through all
right, but afterwards, while he was firing a
salute at San Domingo, both of his ar ms
were blown off by the explosion of gun.
Strange to relate he was again a hale,
hearty man when his wounds healed"
Wonderful. But suppose that was the
last risk he ever took"
"No, sir; the burned chump went and
got married.

Statesmen IN Europe are judged by the
extension of their country they brought
about. In this view Bismarck altered
the map of Europe more than any man
since Napoleon, and his changes have
the consent of the governed.
In 1866 he accomplished the final unity
of Italy by his aid, cast Austria out OF
| Germany and took all Germany besides
into Prussian empire.
In 1870 the French, cast into the shade
by the magnitude of Prussia's wars and
annexations, made an issue with Bis
marck insolently on the small matter Of
Spain offering her vacant crown to a
prince of the family of Hohenzollerns.
The consequences were heavy. France
lost the fine provinces Of Alsace-Lor-
raine, with cities like Metz, Mulhausen
and Strasburg.
The Germany remade by Bismarck
has 100000 people. Out of about
100000 annual emigrants from this en-
pire I, 10000 come to the United States.
The cities have enormously grown, Ber-
lin near 100000 and 90 cities above
100000. The army costs near $10O, O,0OO,-
600 a year and is always near 500, 900
men strong. Alsace-Lorraine added near
100000 to the population.
Bismarck's unfinching soul took the
field and made the terrible demands on
France which, but for the gifted nature
of the people and their soil and system,
would have ruined her. He placed the
kaiser's crown and name upon his king
at Versailles, scene not matched by
any in Napoleon's career.
This Bismarck did not probably con-
template. France owed her humiliation
to the desire for annexation whenever
she found any neighbor making any. In
taking Savoy and Nice from Italy she
lost Alsace-Lorraine.
After these great acts of Bismarck he
fell upon the residue of days. He assist
ed to curb Russia and established an alli-
ance with Italy and Austria, but his
aged sovereign dying in 1888 he under
took to superintend the country and con-
troll the reign of Frederick, who died in
about three months.
Frederick's son, half Englishman,
cameinto power in 1888 and soon showed
the possession of some such traits as
George Ill. Bismarck was displaced and
could not brook the humiliation. He
antagonized Chancellor Caprivi's minis
try, and from being the pink of the Bour-
bon royalists became the prompter of
the agrarians. His bent for politics and
power had grown to be a second nature.
He became more approachable, more
democratic, but not the less proud, per-
sistent and inexorable. At IS he was as
busy in German politics as at SO.
If he had any model, it was in the COM
bination of Cavour and Garibaldi, the
secret mover and the sword. More prob
ably his model was Frederick the Great,
the aggressive soul and sword of Prussia
century before. Disraeli was mer-
chant statesman compared to Bismarck.
He was more like Gortchakof of Rus
sia, her extending spirit, and in some re-
spects is more like Cromwell than any
statesman the continent has shown.
Bismarck belongs to the highest order
of aggressive politicians, like Ferdinand
of Spain, Richelieu, Gustavus Adolphus,
Peter the Great, William of Orange, Ma
poleon. We must pass from among min
listers to class him truly and compare
him with kings.

Comb That Hobson Used. .

Hobson, of Merrimac fame, spent one
night on his trip at Long Beach, and while
he was there he went in bathing. A couple
of days afterward another man was there
for few hours, and he, too, took a dip in
the briny. After he was dressed he went to
small boy who was in attendance at the
bathing houses and asked if there was 8
comb anywhere he could borrow for few
minutes. The boy gazed at him moment
before answering.
well, guess" he said, only you'll have
to cough up ten for der use of it."
Say, know why? Well say, tn Other
day der was dead swell guy from deI
navy down here. His name was Hobson:
Maybe you've heard tell of him. Well,
you'd ough ter have seen him here. Say,
people liked ter dropped dead about him
His job lots couldn't move but what dei
whole push was after him. He didn't look
much either. But they froze to him. Geep
but he was dead swell guy and its straight
I'm givin' it to yer. Well der mug went
bathin', and when he come out he didn't
have no comb and he come ter me jus like
you have and asked could let him have
one. So did, and he used it and gave il
back to me without no trouble at all, and
then when l sees what circus dey was
maxim about him 1 sees how 1 could dc
'em. So now when any guy wants comb
I'd let out der one what Hobson fixed his
hair wild after he come out, and it costs ten
ter use it, Want liz"
He produced cheap, small, white cellu-
loid comb, and the visitor used it under
the owners watchful eyes. Then he
"coughed" up the ten, and the boy pocketed
that and locked up the comb. He finds ii
| what he calls "cinch."

often muddy ground, and SO learns to
swing along at a steady stride more with
the view of covering distance anyhow than
of studying how to walk. In England
girl is seldom, if ever, taught how to walk.
She may be taught to dance, to ride, to run
and to swim, but alking being, consi-
dered by her parents natural movement,
she is allowed to perform it as she pleases.
And to be natural is not always to be
graceful,
The Englishwoman either strides with
long, swinging gait as though keeping
pace with brother, or she walks in little
mincing steps; she is apt in the first case to
let her arms help her along as well as her
feet; she swings these backward and for
ward like pendulums. Some walk with
the eutire body in active motion, others roll
and luych in fashion most uncomfortable
to any one who happens to be their COM
panion. Then, again, there are great
many who walk with their heads poked
forward as though to lead the way. Now
in walking, though there certainly should
be no stiffness or deadness, there should be
but little motion. The body and head
should be erect, the knees straight and the
tread firm and elastic. and straight. 1t is
the putting of one foot directly in front
instead of to the eide of the other that
produces the ugly lurching movement and
the still ugier shaking of the hips in walk
ing.
The prettiest and quietest walk is that
obtained by slightly poising the front, then
placing its ball on the ground, resting on
it for the fraction of second. and lightly
and almost imperceptibly raising the body
on it toward the toe before following with
the other foot. This may sound slow and
complicated movement-in reality very
little practice will soon teach it. and one
may walk as fast as one pleases as soon as
one has acquired the art. Il may be re-
marked. in passing, that if one always re-
membered to keep the toes slightly pointed,
either in walking or when sitting, the in
step of even the flattest foot would grad
ually grow arched. The boot always in
dicates the tread of the wearer. If is often
trodden down unevenly ON one side, show

the outside or inside. 1t sometimes points
upward at the toe, the sign of fat foot
it is only when the greatest sign Of wear is
