A CALL.

How He Repeated the Hour as Sentinel
Western humor is overcharged and
frequently recoils into caricature. For
instance, remarks Youths Companion,
an officer. characterizing General Dun
can, a jolly, clustering old fellow, but
a good Indian fighter, said: mo In
dian bullet can hurt him. He has
been shot in the head with a cannon
ball, which did him no harm, but
glanced off and killed the toughest
mule in the army" The general him
self was the cause, on one occasion,
of a bit of humor so grotesque as to
set a camp laughing. He, in 1870, led
an expedition from Fort Mcpherson
into the Republican river country, and
the famous Pawnee scouts accompa-
MED it. The general ordered that in
camp the senttnels at the different
posts should call out the hour of the
night thus: Post No. /, 9 o'clock,
all is WE'LL" The Pawnees took their
turn at guard duty, and were ordered
to call the hour as the white soldiers
did. This was a difficult task for them,
as few of the scouts could express
themselves in English. Their COM
mander, Major North, explained to
each one that when the nan on the
adjoining post called out the hour, he,
the scout, must call it also, copying
him as nearly as he could. The at
tempts of the scout to initiate the
white sentinels were amusing. Fol in
stance, a white soldier would call
nut: Post No. /, half-past nine
o'clock, all's WE'LL" The Indian stand
ing next to him would sing out some
thing like this: "Poss number half
pass five cents! Ugh! l don't care!'
The general, seeing that his system
was more ludicrous than beneficial,
countermanded the order.

When to Shake Hands,

Here are some simple rules for a
hostess to observe in the matter of
shaking hands:
A hostess should shake hands with
every guest who ONE to her house,
whether her own friend or the friend
of her friend, both on arrival and de-
parture.
A young girl introduced to an older
woman should await the action of the
elder, who, if kindly disposed, will
shake hands.
Any man presented to a woman, I'M
less he is decidedly elderly or distin-
guished, must wait for her to make a
movement toward shaking hands, and
when one presents to another
the mai accompanying her, it is the
duty of friendship, as well as hospital
ity, FOR the man to be met with a cor
dial handshake.
Ordinarily, however, women are not
supposed to shake hands with men
when they are presented to them
This holds good ven at a dinner par
ty, where a oma for the first time
meets the mar who is to take her tc
dinner.

TWICE SAVED.

Miss Doris and her groom cantered
together across the downs that swept
In broad folds of many-tinted greens
TOWARD the sea, flashing and sparkling
In golden sun-gleams on the horizon.
She, the 17-year-old only child Of
parents married late in life, elderly
now, with settled ways and habits ac-
cording i'll with the latter-day intru-
sion Of restless youth-this growing up
of the daughter they doubtless loved
but little apprehended.
Fair she was and sweet, happy in her
recent emancipation from school re-
straints and trammels, content with
life, unaware as yet of her lack of
parental comprehension and control,
her youthful mind attuned to all
maiden fancies in their modern garb
of universal brotherhood" equality,
the leveling of class distinctions as
preached by her bestowed school
mate, the daughter of ar ardent, we'll
known socialist leader.

request, a few years older only, good

cut cleanliness common to grooms in
general, not so very long ago the pride
of his schoolmaster, captain Of tse

his class, in speech and manners,
en-, as his fellow-servants could have
told.
In very truth were there not the
elements of romance in the air!
Youth, beauty, innocence, with the
scent of spring, the tanning of the soft
west wind in the sunshine.
After awhile the girl drew rein, her
companion doing likewise, keeping his
horse a little back as though meaning
to fall into his proper place behind her.
But Miss Doris would have none of it;
she wished to talk, and talk she would
when she so chose. Many a time had
1t happened of late during their morn
ing rides.
I At first the groom had responded
shyly in monosyllables, Eyes, miss"
mo, miss" as the case required, in a
manner little satisfactory to enthusiast
tic maiden attempts at surmounting
class barriers, but Miss Doris had the
courage Of conviction-a little patience
and matters mended themselves.

items, a would-be tragic reading

TIMING A A

Running.
Not one person in a hundred who
travels has any idea Of the speed Of a
train, and even a large percentage Of
the regular trainmen cannot tell with
any degree of accuracy. Engineers use
their driving-wheel as a gauge. They
know, says the Chicago Inter-Ocean,
Its circumference, and by counting its
revolutions within a certain time can
tell very accurately the speed at which
they are running. A favorite method
Of timing among passengers is to count
the telegraph poles. AS a rule these
poles are planted thirty to the mile,
but in prairie countries, where only a
single wire is used, the number di-
minishes to twenty-five, so that rule
will not always work. The most &C.
curate method, and the most in use by
experienced railroad men is to count
the number of rail joints the train
passes over in twenty seconds. The
rails on nearly all roads are thirty feet
In length, and the number passed over
in twenty seconds is the speed per
hour a train is running. For instance,
IL a passenger can count thirty clicks
on a rail joint in twenty seconds. the
train is running at a speed of thirty
miles an hour. Actually this method
falls a little short, as In the example
given above, the speed would be near.
er thirty-one than thirty miles, but it
is near enough for all practical pur-
poses.

Senate.

Senate.
The new president of the French
senate, Clement Armand Fallieres, has
been a political factor for over twenty
years, although he is only IS years of
age. He was elected to the chamber
Of deputies as a Republican in 1876,
and in 1880 was under secretary of
state. When Carnot became president
of the republic, the first prime min
lister he thought of was Fallieres, and
he asked him to form a cabinet, in
which the latter failed to succeed.
Nevertheless he became a member OF
three cabinets under Carnot's presi-
dency. That would be enough to show
what kind of a man he is. But his
whole career shows it as we'll. While
his first chief, Jules Ferry, was unable
to be chosen as prime minister for fear
of the animosity of his foes, Fallieres,
who belonged to Ferry's whole minis
try and was a genuine opportunist, was
looked upon as an excellent choice,
which nobody could fairly resent. From
1880 to 1889 he has been eight times q
member of the government. He has
been once prime minister and minister
of foreign affairs 1883, twice minister
of public instruction (18S3 and 1880
twice minister of justice (1S87 and
1892 and three times he has occupied
the ministry of the interior, in 1880
1882 and 1887. He is not a fne-lookina

get. But he is al orator of great skill
Moreover, he is a man of absolute In.
tegrity, whose whole career is above
suspicion. Nothing is more importanr
for a great body like the senate, which
has sometimes to face unpopularity
than to be represented by a man who's
character is unquestionable, and who's,
purity cannot be assailed.

said that he would stand back of them.
So nov young Richard is in Pitts
burg with the Westinghouse company,
where he is making a study of cleo
tricity, not with a view to becoming
an expert, but simply so as to get suf-
icient knowledge to be of advantage
to him in the business he intends to
follow. What the general line of that
business will be is indicated by the
fact that he is now considering the
organization of a company to purchase
a $500, 900 quarry in Pennsylvania,
which is said to produce a fine quality
of foundation stone, and as the quarry
is within -four hours Of New York City
by rail, young Mr.. Croker might pos

gets his quarry.
The other son, Francis H., has cast
his lot with the Roebling Construction
company Of New Jersey. He and
Ferdinand w. Roebling of the famous
bridge-building family are really the
whole company, for they control all
of the 500 shares of stock except sew
enty. The capital stock of the COM
pany is $3.50, 900, and it's business is to
erect buildings, using as much as pos
sible the products of the Roebling's

tains," said an old surveyor, the
gaunt natives who had never seen the
steam kyars' were very much inter-
ested in the building OF the Cincin-
natl Southern Railway, and came in
from miles around to inspect the work.
Some of the theories and speculations
~propounded were worthy of record.
At one point the line crossed a river
directly into a tunnel through a high
mountain. The material for the bridge
had been delayed, but the other work
was pushed vigorously on, the tunnel
completed and the track finished up to
the river bank IN the opposite side,
leaving a yawning chasm a hundred
feet deep between. While the work
was in this condition a party of moon
sinners arrived one day and inspected
the new wonder with awe-struck faces.
At last one old mountaineer, carefully
removing a chew of tobacco from his
right cheek to his left, voiced the gen
eral sentiment when he gravely said:

ability for farming, and the advan-
tages it offers to the agricultural i'm
migrant from the United States:
I'VE came here solely to look up i'm
proved farms and, if suitable, to Sc
lect such as pleased us best. We have
not visited the homestead districts at
all, though we believe them to be very
inviting. Our inquiries have been
confined solely to the district around
Hartney, D%eloraine and towards the
Souris River in Manitoba. Our i'm
pressions of all that region are in
every way satisfactory, and we have
decided to go back to Iowa at once,
and, having disposed of our several
interests there, to. return to Manitoba
in the month of March next, and, eff
fecting our purchase of improved
farms, which we find we can do at
reasonable rates, Immediately begin
farming. We are greatly pleased with
all that we have seen in that part of
Western Canada. The soil we find to
be more than equal to that of Dur own
| country for wheat-growing, and the
other conditions of climate, schools,
markets, ETC., are all that we could
wish for.
"To show what an energetic man
can do we may mention that we found
one such at Hartney who had rented

mirror would soon show her how any
particular skirt feels when it is nicely
lifted. Another cause of the badly
held skirt is that very few women
know how to walk we'll. They mostly
have to lift their skirt high to avoid
contact with their muddy boots when
the foot is raised. They have never
been taught how to raise their feet
properly. The sole of the boot should
never touch the skirt. o does the
properly lifted foot scatter mud. A
woman who walks we'll and wears a
skirt of the right length seldom dirties
