Hreyet Rank in ENGLAND.

The brevet rank is conferred on rare
occasions in England, but not lower
than captain nor higher than lieut.. col.
There it carries with it II correspond
ing advance in command, but in other
European countries meritorious SER
vices in the field are rewarded by the
gift of medals and decorations. Near
ly all of these decorations carry with
them membership in some order, and
many bring pensions or certain rights
and privileges.
"There's the difference between our
honor men," said regular army Off
Ger. "and those in European armies.
The German, French or Russian
honor man wears his decoration where
it can be seen, while the American
officer has only his brevet commission,
which he keeps stored away, and there
is nothing about his uniform to indi.
cate that he has figured on the roll
of honor. The only return that the
brevetted officer receives comes from
the social world, whee courtesy has
decreed that he shall be addressed by
his brevet title
1t has been said that the brevet ranl,
comes only to those officers who dis.
tinguish themselves under fire. This
is an error, as may be seen by the
lists, which include the names of sur.
geons who did only hospital work. -

SPANS LAST BLOCKADE,
Some Fast Sailers which Carried
Queens Orders.

The Outlook gives an interesting
story of the Spanish administration
when, during our civil war, the En-
peror Napoleon formed the ingenious
plan of uniting European nations in n
change of the international laws gov
erning blockades. The admiralty law
of the world at present extends the
jurisdiction of any nation for one ma
rine league from its shores. If,there-
fore, any blockade-runner could get
within three miles of Jamaica, Cuba
or Porto Rico, he was safe from any
interference from our blockading
feet.
Napoleon proposed that, instead of
one league, the limit of local sover-
eighty should be extended to three
leagues from shore, and he persuaded
the Spanish minister to come into his
plan.
Such an extension of neutral limits
would have greatly hindered the oper-
atoms of our blockading fleets. All
the negotiations were conducted with
great secrecy, but orders were sent
from Spain to the West Indies, in
structing authorities there to extend
threefold the range of their dominion
over the sea. These orders had al
ready gone when Horatio Perry, the
American secretary of legation, got
wind of the treachery of our ally
Mr.. Perry told his wife; she told
the Duchess of Montpensier, who hated
Louis Napoleon, and the duchess told
her sister, the Spanish queen. Then
the queen sent for Mr.. Perry, and
asked what it was all about.
"You are injuring your best
friends" said he, after explaining the
matter, sat the solicitation of this
intriguer whom You have reason to be-
lieve is your worst enemy
The queen sent for he" prime min
lister, aud Intercepted him. He re-
piled that her majesty had signed the
order on such or such IL day.
''But no one told me W hat it meant"
said Queen Isabella. "No one told
me that this is heavy blow to my
American allies"
No one had told her! The minister
was sorry ii her majesty dislikel it,
but it was too late to help it. Why
was it too late? Because steamer
had gone to the West Indian fleet
with the orders which changed one
league to three.
Then said Isabella, cit is not too
late for me to accept your resigna
tons"
But the Senior Don did not want to
resign, and the other Senores Dons
did not want toresign. So they found
a fast steamer to take out orders re-
scinding the other orders, and the
blockade was maintained for the next
year.

Our Tall Soldiers.

There was a strange contrast be
tween our men and the men of the
Spanish forces when they came in di-
rect contact with each other. The
dark clothes of the American soldier
give an air of strength that is lacking
in the light blue cotton uniform OF
the Spaniards. Besides this, the
Spanish soldiers are great deal
smaller in stature and breadth of
shoulders and weight than our men,
The cavalry is mounted on little
broncho-like horses that usually PACE
little short, fast gait. They are in
strange contrast with our great, fine
cavalry horses and heavy.set troopers.
l was standing on n corner talking to
Spanish captain when the 9th U. s.
infantry marched down the streets
towards the theatre which they made
their barracks. The Spanish officer
watched the men few moments, and
then turned to me and asked: SIS
this picked regiment?'
no." / remarked; sit is no diff.
ferent from the rest of our regi-
ments."
''But You don't mean to say" he
exclaimed, chat You have another
regiment like this?"
And he really would not believe me
when told him that this was merely
an ordinary regiment. He had sup
posed that it was one of our fancy
special regiments that had been seat
in as guard of honor. Leslie $

Fine Woods Disappearing,

1t is believed that in time all the
fine cabinet woods ak, ash, cherry.
etc. in this country will go the way
of walnut and disappear from the
earth. They are fast being cut down,
and nothing is done to renew the sup
ply. TO be sure, there are vast for.
ests in Siberia, South America and
Africa, which can be drawn upon. II
is reported that in the Congo country
there are immense forests which have
never been touched for commercial
purposes. Not much of the ii l. Der OF
South America and Siberia has been
removed, as there is little manufactur.
ing in those regions. Yet even this
apparently limitless supply must some
day be exhausted, if the present rate
of consumption is continued. There
are many mills in the northern and
southern states that use up fifty acres
of timber apiece in one day. 1t is
estimated that in the next decade the
supply of oak, ash, cherry and mahog-
any, and, in fact, all hard woods, will
lie as completely exhausted as is that
of walnut at the present time. Then
the forests of the countries yet I'M.
settled will be drawn upon. ST. = .ouis

YCstern GYpSles.

Western gvpsies would be n good
term by hich to designate that class
OF floating population which wanders
into Kansas City ut the beginning OF
winter and wauders ont again when
the first warm days of April announce
that spring had arrived. The annual
outfit consists Of rickety wagon with
a canvas cover, gross libel on the
mighty Conestongas that made up the
fleet of prairie schooners in the days
of 40. The motive power is gener-
ally heavy.raw-boned team of mules,
for on his team the head of the family
depends in summer to make enough
money to carry him through the win
ter. Ostensibly his occupation is that
of "grader," and he is always to be
found where new railroad is being
built, hurting strange oaths at his
mules as they pull a heavily loaded
scraper on to the dump. Personally
he is Il man of calm temperament who
can listen with Indifference to the sui
phurous remarks of the foreman of
the work, who seems to have but one
object in life, and that is to get two
days work ont of the grader in one
days time. Kansas City journal.

How We Sueu(l Time.


A man with taste for figures has
been aprol toning the life Of a man
, WHO lives seventy wears. He finds Of
that time a man spends nearly twenty
five years in bed, nearly twelve years
each in work and play, nearl y six years
in eating and drinking, six years in
walking about, nearly three years in
dressing, one year and five months in
illness, the same in reflection, in Cos
sip, and an equal amount of time is
wasted.
There is about one hour day which
is wasted or given over to odds and
ends at small duties. The mere act
of putting on ones shoe is not con-
sidered worth mentioning, yet in his
lifetime a man of 70 spends five min
utes day, thirty .hours II year, or
more than twelve weeks of lifetime
Who would want seriously to sit down
and do nothing every minute for three
months but put on and take off his
shoe'.
Until one Analyses his day he will
have no idea of the amount of time
spent in locomotion, in getting from
one place to another. Two hours II
day is a conservative estimate of the
time used this way. lfa person spends
but an hour each day on his toilet in
seventy years he will have devoted
three years to this duty. And as for
women, one hour is entirely too short
time to allow them. Three is nearer
right,

WISE WORDS.

We talk about the sleep OF death.
How much deeper, how much sadder
is the sleep CT life-the unresponsive
heart, the unawakened mind, the
hand that is palsied by lack of will
to do.
Large views, high hopes and un.
selfish aims dissipate whole army of
petty trials, annoyances and irri.
tations, and even greatly reduce real
anxieties and solicitude.
An ounce of essence is worth a gal.
lon of fluid. A wise saw may be more
valuable than whole book, and q
plain truth is better than an argu.
ment.
Our sentiments, our thoughts, our
words lose rectitude on entering Ger.
tain minds, as sticks plunged Into the
water-look bent.
Imagination is the stairway which
the mind uses when taking the meas.
ure of some lofty projection.
Riches massed in haste will dimin.
ish, but those collected by hand and
little by little will multiply.
We live in an age of fact, not fiction
for every effect is assigned come
simple and natural cause.
If q straw can be made the instru.
ment of happiness, he is wise nan
who does not despise it.
God will do as much for us. as WI
will submit to have done.
