Too Much of 1t.

A high army officer whose fad was
ventilation was one day making an in
spection of a frontier post which was
much in need Of repair. In some places
the roof showed the blue sky overhead
and the walls were ornamented with
gaps.
The brigadier general was escorted
through the building by the colonel in
charge, sergeant going on before, as
is the custom, to warn the men to stand
at attention in honor of the general.
AS they proceeded the general asked:
fsAnd how is the ventilation, colo
nel?'
Before the colonel could reply tie old
sergeant, with q familiarity born Of
long SERVICE said:

Spencers In That Locality Were as
Thick us Blackberries. t.
A half yearly meeting of the directors
who manage the Northampton private
asylum had just broken up, and Lord
Spencer, member of that body, desir-
ing to reach Althorp Park somewhat
more quickly than customarily, deter
mined to return home by a route which
intersects the grounds Of the asylum
and which is rarely used save as sum-
mer parade for the unfortunate lunatics
Arrived at the gate which separates the
asylum from the outer world, Lord
Spencer, much to his annoyance and
disgust, found it securely locked A
keeper, however, happening to come in
sight just at that moment Lord Spencer
lost no time in explaining to him the
nature of his wishes.
The man surlily replied that his Or
ders were to the effect that no one
should pass through that gate except
due notice were given to him to the
contrary by the authorities, and that,
being married man with a wife and
a large family, he failed to understand
what special advantage was to be gain
ed by transgressing the rules and thus
placing his situation in jeopardy. OBJ
serving that the fellow was growing OBJ
durate, Lord Spencer thought it best to
reveal his name and rank, imagining
that knowledge of the same would re-
call the man to his senses. Nothing of
the sort happened, however. @
The stolid features of the keeper sim
ply relaxed into a broad grin, and as he
turned to depart he gently explained
that Lord Spencers in that particular
locality were as plentiful as blackber-
ries in the autumn time. Explanations
and expostulations were useless, the dis
com6ted earl being forced to return the
way he had come.-Wit and Wisdom.

CAMELs liARBoR HATRED.
Will wait Unfl1 nm Opportunity Ar-
rives For Revenge.

VIII Wait Until an Opportunity Ar
rives For Revenge.
The Arab who has angered camel
will throw his clothes upon the ground,
and the infuriated beast, after stamp
ing on them and tearing them asunder
with his teeth, goes on his way and.
the driver is thereafter quite safe, as it
seems to be an axiom with the camel
that no man shall be put in peril Of life
twice for one ofense.
The camel is stupid, save when angry,
and then seems to become almost pre-
ternatural in carrying out its vengeful
designs. Palgrave relates the following
story of a camel,s s revenge, which serves
to Illustrate this point: a lad Of II
had conducted a large camel laden with
wood from one village to another at
half hours distance As the animal
loitered or turned out Of the way its
conductor struck it repeatedly and
harder than it seemed to have thought
he had right to do. But not finding
the occasion favorable for taking imme-
diate quits it tbode its time. That time
was not long in coming.
"a few days later the same lad had
to reconduct the beast, but unladen, to
his own village. When they were about
half way on the road and at some dis
tance from any habitation, the camel
suddenly stopped, looked deliberately
round in every direction to assure it
self that no one was in sight and, find
ing the road clear of passersby, made a
step forward, seized the unlucky boy s
head in its monstrous mouth, and, lift
ing him up in the air, flung him down
again on the earth with the upper part
of his skull completely torn off
"Having thus satisfied his revenge,
the brute quietly resumed it's pace to-
ward the village, as though nothing
were the matter, till some men, who
had observed the whole, though unfor-
tunately at too great a distance to be
able to afford timely help, came up and
killed it. London Telegraph. -:

William Blacks Characters.

Sir Wemyss Reid notes that William
Black seldom allowed himself to be
drawn into conversation about his work.
One Of Reid's recollections runs thus
lone day, III the farof past, I was
walking along the sea front with Black
at Brighton, when he said abruptly and
with reference to nothing that had been
passing between us: we are not all en-
gagged in running away with other
mems wives. There are some Of us who
are not the victims Of mental disease or
moral deformity. I do not even know
that anybody Of my acquaintance has
committed q murder OF forgery. Yet
people are angry with me because do
not make my characters in my books
odious in this fashion. I prefer to write
about sane people and honest people,
and imagine that they are, after ALL
in majority in the world. ~

fessiona pride strove for the mastery
with the due righteousness which she
considered necessary for the occasion.

The witness also recalled the despair
of Dreyfus after his conviction, and the
regrets he expressed at not having re-
signed. Dreyfus, the Major said, talked
Of committing suicide.
When Dreyfus rose to reply, he ad
mitted that after his degradation he
intended to commit suicide, but that
he added that if he succeeded in en-
during the torture inflicted it was oW-
ing to his wife, who made him under

Captain Lebrun-Renault, recalled by
