captured and sent home to slavery.
The percentage of losses on the win

the few fallen Macedonians with high
honors and exempted their parents and
children from the payment of taxes.
The wounded received his personal at

take her hat off.
This time he had made false move,
had gone too far. The young lady in
front squared her shoulders and settled
down more grimly than ever. The
young man saw the game was up and
fell to groaning again. The old gentle
man behind was certainly saving him
self a stroke of apoplexy.
This last indecent exhibition of self

aroused my indignation and my sympa-

instructive part, which 1 did not want
the young man to miss. 1 joined forces
to help him and brought my Maxims
up at a trot.

where he left it off; much more.
Have you not noticed her beautiful
golden hair, of the color of sunshine

a wealth of beautiful lovelocks, pro-
claiming in pride their superiority to

The young man seemed dazed for a mo-

the stage that his eyes now saw for the
first time that evening. Gathering him
self together, he leaned forward to the
lady and gently whispered, ''Thank
you," then settled down in content

ness his hand had gripped mine in such
sincerity of gratitude that my fingers
ached for a week after. The old gentle

and was assisted out, shedding tears.

ENORMOUS DAM.

The foundation-stone OF the great
reservoir dam at Assouan on the Nile
has just been laid by the duke OF
Connaught. The dam will consist OF
huge wall Of granite, a mile and a
quarter in length. 76 feet high in
places. and feet to 40 feet in width.
This enormous structure, unparalleled
y any similar work, will intercept the
current OF the Nile, ana form an arti-
fetal lake occupying about go square
miles in area, three times the slzI
Of the Lake Of Geneva, and holding
100000, 900 tons OF water. 1t Is
computed that from this great reser-
voiI $500 square miles OF desert will
be converted into cultivated lands BY
means Of irrigation canals, which the
fellaheen are adopts at making.

SOME NEW FRENCH COINS.

to begin the issue or tho new coinage
which has been talked about and dis.
cussed for long time, SO much Inn
portance Is attached to the artistic do.
sign and execution of the French
money that 1t is not surprising to learn
that the chief engraver, NJ. Chaplain,
one of the most eminent OF living med.
alists, has devoted three years 20 the
perfection OF his design for the new
gold coins Al first he took tho head
of the Republic, which he engraved for
the exposition Of 1878, making some
changes In It, but this did not satisfy
him. He then designed compost
ton showing an oak tree behind ilg-
ure OF the Republic, branch OF the
oak encircling tho head of the Rcpub-
lie ana forming u crown. After sun.
dry other experiments he returned to
the simple design which was finally
adopted. The new head of tho Repub-
crowned with oak leaves is n new type,
more modern, and we may say, more
Partisan, than the accustomed profile
but the strong, clear modelling has
much of the character OF the finest
classic coins. and 1t makes the feeble
head upon our Ameican coins appear
very cheap in comparison. II was an.
nounced that the device "Dieu Protegs
In France" would be omitted from tho
odge Of the new money and replaced
by n garland. A long discussion fol.
lowed In the newspapers. but hnaly

HOW TO SHAKE HANDS.

Men shake hands with strangers OF
their own sex with far greater readi-
ness than do women. Two men, on
being presented to one another will
frequently extend the hand in a grasp
OF greeting, an opportunity to form a
general idea Of each others make up,
and know whether they are attracted
or repulsed. Occasionally there Is a
man with sufficient good nature and
courage to refuse another mans hand
without causing offense.
There are men who have been so
impressed with the discoveries Of
bacteriology that they maintain hand
shaking to be the cause Of dissemina-
ton of disease germs. fhe bare
hand comes in contact with innnmer-
able germs looking for pasturage on

COMMENTS ON A CUSTOM.

A witty New Yorker once assured
an Englishwoman that she had earn
ed the deadly enmity of 20 charming
women in London" by inviting them
in the American fashion, to q ladies'
lunch. Now, while protesting that this
statement constituted Il gross libel
on my feminine compatriots, says Il
London writer. 1t Is pretty safe TO as
sumo that there may have been some
CONSERVATION in the company when
they found they were expected to eat
a lengthy banquet, beginning soon
after noon, with drawn blinds and
pink shaded candles, but with never
man among them. For 1t is pretty
certain that this quaint american
custom has not obtained place In Lon
don. And, In a city in which idle
young men are as plentiful as peas in
June, why, indeed, should It? rhe
custom Of women's parties originated,
to be sure, In a stern democracy In
which man went forth to labor at the
dawn and did not return until night
fail, which brought with II, by the by,
meal OF dubious nature called tea. +"
For dinner in stern and primitive
democracy is invariably in the middle
OF the day, and hence the humble
origin OF the modern lengthy and
sumptuous ladies' lunch.

other, of being alone with persons OF

It is not, for instance, TO be supposed
that these feminine parties are dull
or that the absence Of bearded indiyid-
uas has any effect on the wit and
brIlliance of the conversation. Long

American girl, made up her mind to
