Sioux. He recovered, and later on took
the field again against the same Indi-
ans. AS Lieutenant Colonel, General
Henry was in command Of the Ninth
Cavalry in the field against the Sioux
in 1890. His black troopers idolized
him. One day under his leadership
they had made a forced march Of fifty
miles from beyond the White River.
They had eaten only little bread and
a cup Of coffee each. Word came that
the Seventh Cavalry was surrounded.
Henry looked at his Jaded men and
asked his junior officers to sound the
temper of the troopers. Would they
follow him to the relief Of the Seventh ?
When the colored men found out that
Henry wished them to follow thew

Of the bravest soldiers and most pic

other army officer, perhaps, filled the
romance writer's idea Of "beau

he was almost constantly with the
cavalry, and he was always at the fore

led a brigade across an open bullet

was wounded and his horse was killed.
He mounted another horse and led on.

BLUFF WON THE DAY.
GOOD AS A LETTER OF CREDIT
IN EUROPE.
It Wouldn't Have Worked in Ameri-
ca, but in the Little Nice Hotel 1t
Carried Everything Before It-As
surance of a Yankee Tourist.

"Here at home bluff doesn't count fol
much" said a globe trotter, ."but I'm
telling you that good, stiff bluff, with
a cheeky American behind it, is worth
a lot of money in Europe. When / got
around to Nice last year the best hotels
were crowded and I had to take up
with a small room. On the same floor
was German who was occupying
suite, though not spending much mon
ey or putting on any great style. One
day there was great row. The land
lord had asked him as a particular IA
vor to vacate for a newcomer, and, OF
course, the man didn't propose to be
turned out. The landlord coaxed and
argued, and the German growled and
muttered, and I followed them down to
the Office to see how it would come out.
At the desk was an American 1 had
run across in Venice-a buyer for a
Chicago dry-goods house. Mnen the
landlord and the German began to
gable in chorus the buyer pulled a
blank check from his pocket and reach
ed for pen and said:
"'All this talk is of no use. want
rooms here. I will buy the hotel and
select my suite. Sir, what is your cash
price for this hotel?
"'You would buy the hotelv exclaim-
ed the landlord, as he threw up his
hands in surprise.
''Grounds and all, and I want it to-
day. How much-a million-three or
four? And what name shall I fill in
on the check?'
"Say, now," laughed the tourist, "but
you ought to have seen that thing
work! The German had determined to
be ugly about it, but when he bumped
up against man who had as soon pay
four millions as one for what he fan
cied he felt awed and humbled and
ready to quit. The landlord figured
that to turn away such a Croesus
would ruin his house, and it wasn't
half an hour before the buffer was
installed in the suite and the German
was chucked out into dog hole on the
top floor. And that wasn't all, mind
you. When they sent the buyer a bill
based on his supposed millions he got
up and threatened to buy up the town
and start six soap factories to running,
and they cut every item in two and
begged his pardon to boot. don't be-
lieve that chap had $1,000 in his name,
but he just walked over everything and
everybody for two weeks, and it was
current gossip that he owned the whole
of Chicago and a good share Of ST..
Louis and Cincinnati. Nothing but
cold bluff which wouldn't have taken
him into an American dance hall as a
dead-head, but it was equal to let
ter of credit for $1,OOO,0OO over there"

MONOTONE.

IT Gives Rise to More Insanity than
Any Other Cause
One would be, pardoned for thinking
that a man who earned his livelihood
by working in the fresh air OF the
country, surrounded by sights delight
ful to the eve and refreshing to the
mind. would be far less liable to brain
diseases than the man sitting on stool
over ledger in the stuffy atmosphere
Of smoke-dyed city.
But if statistics prove anything they
prove the worthlessness of that posi-
BILE supposition. More agricultural Ia
borers 60 mad, per cent. for per cent,
than any other workers 1t is monotony
which excites disinterestedness which
leads to depression, which develops
into melancholia, which ends, perhaps
in a cure, possibly in a suicidal act,
probably in an asylum. 1t may safely
be said that Sunday saves thousands
upon thousands from the madhouse.
It is the one break from week to week
which thousands of natures demand.
The agricultural laborer, the artisan
and other similar classes Of workers
live on monotony, broken here and
there by a small incident which in
time becomes itself monotonous. A
man, perhaps, drives riYets; he drives
them every day of the week except
Sunday; every motion of his work be-
comes mechanical; he has no interest
in his work beyond what it finds for
him on Saturday. He has one thing to
do, and the more he does that the less
he does everything else. Consequently
the brain becomes weak for want of
more general use, and weakens until
it snaps.
A fine thing is healthy hobby, but
a finer, especially for indoor workers,
is a sport. Healthy recreation keeps
more people out of the madhouse than
anything the doctors could do. Nature
demands certain amount of balance,
and she will have it or be revenged.

Many attempts have been made, with
some success, to draw into the coun-
try, for employment upon farms, some
Of the labor which goes to waste in
cities. These enterprises have dealt
usually with men; but may not agri-
cultural settlements for women be a So
luton for the perplexities Of some Of
the women who have to earn their liv-
ing, but find the usual employments of
women overcrowded? In England an
association has been formed to pro-
mote such movement. 1t publishes a
newspaper, has established courses Of
instruction, and is doing what it can
to induce women who cannot get work
in cities to Ego back to the land' for
support. At Reading College two
houses have been fitted up, which are
occupied by women students, who at
tend classes in horticulture, chemistry,
botany, entomology and dairy work.
This instruction aims to fit women for
three different kinds of work. The
first is the direction of the home, gar
den or farm. The second is the work
Of general gardeners, or growers of
grapes, mushrooms, tomatoes and Gu
cumbers, the care of diaries and the
raising Of poultry. The third is the
establishing Of agricultural settle
ments, where groups of women in adj
joining cottages, with land attached,
can apply their knowledge to market
gardening. This experiment is very in
teresting. There is nothing unsuitable
in it. In fact, market-gardening bee
keeping, poultry-raising and the grow
ing of flowers and small fruits, seem
to be industries for which women are
naturally adapted. Rightly directed,
they are among the most profitable
connected with the cultivation of the
soil. Surely, If women should enter
them, far healthier and happier lives
would result than follow the struggles
for self-support in our cities.

It is a source of never ending Won
der to the careful observer that nearly
every evil carries with it its own rem
edy. Some people. for want of some
thing better, have been worrying a
good deal over the possibility that the
earth is to become overpopulated in the
course of a certain number of centuries.
M. Vauthier, the French sociologist, in
a recent analysis Of statistics, finds
that the ,birth-rate is decreasing in
every country of Europe but four.
Italy, Spain, Seryia and Norway are
the exceptions, and even here the mar
gin Of difference is very small. It
should never be lost sight of that the
human race is primarily product of
wondering what we are to do when
conditions are changed, for this is all
taken care of. II anything we should
devote our energies to making the con-
ditions as healthy as may be, leaving
results to take care of themselves.

In noting the growth and conquests
Of the English language one is re-
minded of that eloquent description by
Joaquin Miller Of the spirit of progress
with King James translation under
it's arm making the circuit of the globe.
Less than a century ago the English
language was spoken by hardly more
than 100000 people, while to-day it
is the one commonly used by more than
2OO,O0O,O0O. Nor has there ever been a
time when the spread of our native
tongue was more rapid or when it had
become more necessary to the COM
mercial transactions Of the world than
at present. For centuries the French
language has been the exclusive Ian
guage Of the courts. To-day there is
no court in Europe where an American
minister cannot transact business in
English. The English language is be-
ing almost entirely used in the Vene-
zuelan arbitration court at Paris. The
American proposals at the peace con-
ference required no translations ex-
cept for delegates from other than Eu-
ropean countries. English will replace
Spanish in Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines and it is gradually sup
planting all others in South America.
Speech also follows the flag.

South Africa had been a most distin-
guished one.
An Irishman by birth, having been
born in the County Antrim in 1885,
White was educated at the Royal
Military Academy at Sandhurst and
entered the army as q subaltern in
1853. He saw active service almost at
once. He served during the Indian
mutiny with his regiment, the Royal
Inniskilling fusileers. obtaining a
medal and clasp for gallantry. Appoint
ed a captain in 1863 and a major ten
years later, he went through the At
CHAN war with the Gordon highland
ers and was present at the battle Of
Charasia, the occupation Of Kabul, the
expedition to Madam, the capture Of
Takti Shah and on the march from Ka-
bull to Candahar.
Afterward Sir George was appointed
military secretary to the viceroy of In
dia, and in 1881 became lieutenant col
Onel Of the famous Gordon highland
ers. Four years later he was colonel
OF that regiment. He was sent with
the regiment to Egypt, where he and
his men distinguished themselves and
in the Burmese war Of 1885 he com
manded brigade. For his services in
that campaign he was promoted to be a
major general and received the spe-
cial thanks of the government Of India.
Afterward he conducted the successful
expedition into Sehob and from 1893
until last year was commander in chief
of the British forces in India.
