A Hymn at a Banquet.

Hymn at Banquet.
 Under the relaxed discipline just before the return of the troops who fought in the civil war, there wag no lack of merrymaking among the com- rades of the hard campaigns. Squads of them at the different posts met in military quarters and froIicked half the night away. It was at one of these assemblies of the officers of an army corps domiciled in Southern capital that the following incident occurred: They had come together for "a grand old reunion high,' to celebrate their victories, swap stories" and drink each others healths before separating to go back to Gods country" :" as they called the North. The supply of liquors was plentiful, the supper-room was full of the smoke of burning cigars: the stories kept the laughter loud, and the songs called out every voice in enthu- siastic chorus. The best vocalist in the company, fine young tenor, had been repeatedly appealed to for solo, but although he seemed quite as jovial as the rest, it was far along in the festivities before he could be induced to sing.
 Come, Harry. pipe up, old fellow: give IS one of your best" and the importantly became too strong to re- sist.
 That an undertide of different emo ton had been gathering power within him, and that Harry" was not the only person in the room who had been hiding sober thought, was very soon evident.
 Well, boys, I'll sing for you," he said at last.
 The noise ceased at once, for most of those present had many times en. joyed his charming voice. He began the tender melody of Franz Apt, "When the Swallows Homeward Ely" but instead of the expected lines his astonished listeners caught the words of Charles Wesley-the immortal hymn-prayer which has been so effec- lively set to that favorite tune. He sang with touching pathos. His com rades did not attempt to overcome the contagion of his feeling.
 Jesus, lover of my soul,
 Let me to thy bosom fly.
 What scene, and what surround ings for such song! Cigars were dropped. and lifted glasses were quietly set down. Surprised faces became con- vulsed W unexplained sympathy. The men thought of the dear old homes they were soon to see, and every mSv- ing memory came back. Before the singer ended there were tears or many weather-beaten cheeks. One rough cavalryman silently gathered up an armful of bottles, erept on tiptoe to the window, and threw them out Another and another, till willing hands had helped clear the tables of every sign of liquor. Voices that had a tremor in them said, Sing us another, Harry" and the comrades finished their feast with choruses of gospel hymns.
 We gather these facts from the story. A Song in the Night" by MT. Will liam o. Stoddard, in the Christian En- deayor World. It was pretty dark spiritually in the army at the close of the civil war" says Mr Stoddard; but the above incident tells how surely a swift touch of the magic of real re- ligious power will bring mems holier feelings to light, and turn their frivol- ity into reverent and serious joy.

An African Chlers umhra,,a

An African chiefs umbrella is of greater importance than many people suppose. Apart from it's enormous size, its loss in battle more than equals the loss of standard of European commander. Some of the umbrellas are of prodigious dimensions, being no less than 25 feet in diameter, with ribs 12 feet inches long.

Reading in Bed.

Reading in bed used to be objected to in the old days on the score of danger, and one of the first injunctions Of a hostess to her guest was in refer ence to that prevalent but disquieting practice. But in these days, when electric light has removed the risk of fire, the question is one solely of it's benefit or harm to the prospective sleeper The Medical Press and Cir cular is of the opinion that a short course of some standard author may act as composing sedative, but works which contain extremes of wit. melo- drama, comedy, tragedy or philosophy should be avoided Like a good SUD- per, the reading should be neither too heavy nor too stimulating. On the other hand, most physicians are of the opinion that bed should be kept as much as possible for sleep. A habit of reading before putting out the light and closing ones eyes is apt to grow and become tyranny, and. like drugs the more you indulge in it the longer has the reading to be to have the de. sired effect It must be admitted, however, that the habit, to all but those fortunate beings who are asleep the moment their head touches the pillow, is very seductive, and that good many peoples most serious read ing is done at that time.-London Tele- graph.

A CLEVER GIRL.
How She Fooled the Other Girls Neatly
 and CompIetelY.

How She Fooled the Other Girls Neatly
 and Completely.
 The girl of my heart came home to attend cousins wedding on Thursday of last week and she stayed in town for two days before going back to school for the commencement which will make her sophomore, says the Wash ingten Post. It wouldn't be fair to tell the pame of her school but it's an ex- cellent one, where the fashions of the men's college are followed, even to the possession of a college yell and the practicing of hazing. The girl of my heart was hazed last fall. She did not talnt when the girls touched her arm with a bit of ice and said they were branding her with an iron. She en- dured every ordeal so smilingly that the girls at last determined to do some thing perfectly dreadful. They marched her through dark halls, blind folded as she was, opened closet door 1n the physical laboratory, snatched the bandage from her eyes, pushed her in, locked the door and left her shrieking in the arms of a skeleton. Now, skeleton to her is no more ter rlfying than hoopskirt, but she saw an opportunity to amuse herself. She is one of the eleEerest amateur actress es Washington possesses. She let down her hair and tangled it about her face. Her gown was an old one, so she sacrificed it and tore it to tatters. Then she waited. Presently she heard the girls returning. She began to croon softly to herself a weird song. The girls opened the door. She took no notice of them, but went on lavish ing kisses on the grinning skull, laugh ing idiotieally to herself the while. Finally one of them whispered: Girls, she's raving mad" That was the cue for the girl of my heart. She raved; she tore her hair; she shrieked when they tried to draw her away from the skeleton; she laughed; she flung her self about, and finally danced out into the outer room, moaning in a blood curdling way. The girls dared not even breathe. They were ghastly. They clung to each other and shud dered. The girl of my heart danced to the door. caught up a knife from a ta- ble, waved it with a hideous scream and sprang at them Then, as they huddled together in a perfect agony of fright, she dropped the knife aud opened the door. Well, girls" she said, drawlingly, q hope you've en- joyed the fun; I'm sure I have" Then she disappeared, and dozen crest fallen girls, too frightened to dare to go into mysteries, too much relieved to be angry, stole quietly away. ley are clever girls at that college, but the girl of my heart is bell wether of the flock.

Increase In Minor Grim es.

The British home office report for 1897 shows that while serious crimes tend to diminish in England, there is a great increase in minor offenses. By far the larger number of criminals con- victed during year have been con- victed of some crime before-a fact that led the home office to conclude that neither penal servitude nor im- prisonment serves to deter the habit ual offender from reverting to crime, and it is the habitual offenders who form the bulk of the prison popula- tion.''

VIM had been regarded, could pur

mortal blow, unless-unless-but who
could find words to frame the thought?

door, for others were coming on the

Later that night tho post adiutant
dropped in. He and Wlnn had never
been on cordial terms, but the staff
officer was shocked and troubled at the
increasing ravages in the once proud
and handsome face of the cavalryman.
"Winn," he said in courteous tone,
"the colonel directs extension of your
limits to include the parade, and-and
to visit Captain Barclay, who wants to
sec you this evening, if you feel able.
It's only next door, you know" he add

ushered him into a brightly lighted
room, where, rather pale and wan, but
with kindly smile on his face, Gala
had Barclay lay back in his reclining
chair and held out a thin white hand.
Welcome, Winn," was all he said,
and then the old negro slid out and
closed the door.
"There are Oirish and Oirish, - as,
quoting Mulvaney, has been said before.
Once assured that no further proceed
1ngs were to be taken against him for
his Ubiquitous lapse the day of the rush
to Crockett Springs, Captain Mullane
concluded that he must stand high in
favor at court, and that further self de-
NAL and abstinence were uncalled for,
especially in view Of the successes
achieved for him by the small detach-
ment OF his party led by Lieutenant
Winn. Mullane was gallant soldier in
the field from sheer love of fighting,
and the same trait when warmed by
whisky made him nuisance in garri-
son. Not week was he home from his
successful scout when he broke out in a
| new place, and this time he found in
slant accommodation.
Little Of the stolen property was re-
covered by the searching squad sent out
as the result of Marsden's revelations.
That voluble scoundrel was in the
guardhouse awaiting trial by general
court martial Cavalry drills were re-
sumed again, and after each mornings
work the officers gathered in considera-
| bic force at the clubroom. There had
been, both in the infantry and in the
cavalry, vast speculation as to the out
come of Winn's arrest and Barclays
mishap. But men, as rule, spoke of
the matter with bated BREATH Mullane,
Bralligan and the one or two Irish e.
sergeants in the command, known To-
cally as the Faugh-aBallaghs, how
ever, waxed hilariously insolent in
their comments. Nothing short Of dis
missal should be WINS sentence and
nothing short of a challenge be Bar
| clay's course. It was with something
akin to amaze that Mullane received on
the sixth day after WINS arrest Off
cial notification of his release and res
toration to duty. It was with some
