Bootblack Honor.

A few weeks ago a gentleman, going
through a crowded part of the city of
Glasgow, Scotland, noticed a pale ia ced
little bOotblack waiting for hire.
Touched by the delicate look of the
child he thought he would give him the
backing of his boots to do. According
ly, he gave the little fellow the signal
The boy at once crept lamely toward
the gentleman, and as he pulled himself
along, was nimbly supplanted by All
other little bootblack, who was imme-

ready to begin.

Jamie smiled pleasantly by way of

this act of brotherly kindness that he
gave Jamie's friend a whole shilling for
his work, telling him to give sixpence

Animals in European Orders.

Attention has recently been drawn to
the extraordinary number of animals
who figure in the symbols and insignia
of the various great orders of chivalry
in Europe. Thus Russia and ServIa
have the Order of the White Eagle,
Prussia the Orders of the Black Eagle,
he Red Eagle and the Swan; Denmark,
like Siam, has the elephant; the grand
iuchy of Saxe-Weimar the White Fal-
con, the duchy of Anhalt the Bear,
while the grand duchy of Baden, the
luchy of Brunswick, the grand duchies
Of Hesse and of Luxembourg, the king
dom of Holland and the Persian EN-
Dire have all of them the Lion.

ISRAEL PurnAM.s RIDE

Twas a morn of March In 10
That the British regulars formed In line,
"A thousand fighting men and more,
To scourge the fair Connecticut shore
Where were the valorous patriots then7
Scarce two hundred scattering men
We're all that gathered upon the height
In the chilly springtime morning light,
With their two old cannons caked with
And their heavy fint-locks primed for fire.
DIP the road did the redcoats come,
Stepping true to the roll of the drum;
From either side of the swinging rank
Turned a troop on the patriot flank.
Retreat or capture the only choice.
"Backp rang the patriot leaders voice.
A single volley, broken and harsh,
And away they fed for the wood and
marsh,
While their dauntless leader, sore at need,
Sprang to the back of the champing steed.
Thundered the Dragons hoofs behind;
Burst their shouts on the keen March
wind.
Over his shoulder look he cast
And 10! the enemy gaining fast,
Was he whose fame moved many a lip
To pine on British prison ship
The while his foemen worked their will
From Norwalk bridge unto Stamford hill!
''Never! he cried, and at the word
On with mad resolve he spurred-
Into the valley a rocky stair
Led from an ancient house of prayer;
Out from the highway he leaped his
steed,
And dashed adown at desperate speed,
While round about him he heard the hum
OF the bullets of those who dared not
come.
Flinging 81 taunt at each redcoat clown,
On he rode into Stamford town,
Gathered all who could strike blow,
And backward turned to harry the foe.
Thus did Putnam's courage shine
That morn Of March in 70.
A hero he as he rode alone
With bravery bred in the very bone:
For well he knew it's the man that's free,
That worketh woe to the enemy.
And so, while spring succeeds to spring,
Down the vale Of the years shall ring
Ay! to our Country's even tide
The fame of Israel Putnam's ride.

proceeding down the Red Sea ana De1ne
six miles south by southeast OF JeD ei
Teir Island, the engineer noticed tnat q
fire had broken out In the engine room
The captain called all hands to couple
the hose and stop the ship. The cnnet
engineer then informed the captain
that he could not get at the pumps, as
the whole of the engine room was on
fire. The captain went aft, ana on
looking through the aft port into the
engine room he saw the whole place
was in flames" 1t was apparent that
nothing could be done to put the mo

ready and swung in case Of an explo-
sion. He then signaled to her Majesty 8

saw how far the fire had got hold OF the

The Edgar remained near till 2:4O p.

burning vessel in tow, and at 5:2O p. m.
succeeded in doing SO, allowing no one
to remain on board the Edenmoor. The
admirars object was to tow her either
to Alden or Perrin. The Edgar towed
all night till $40 a. m, when the haw-
ser parted. The Edgar was then stopped
with the object of recommending The
tow. At 1870 a. m. Admiral Fitzgerald
sent for the captain, officers and engi-
nees of the Edenmoor and pointed out
the hopelessness Of saving their ship.

starboard side of the bridge deck and
the flames were half way up the fun

caught fire as well and smoke was issI-

miral asked Capt. Laurenson If any
thing could be done to save the ship, 70
which the latter reluctantly replied that
nothing could be done. The Edgar s
deck was then cleared, she commenced
firing and after a number of rounds Of
shot and shell had been fired the Eden
