THE GRAY FEAT HAT.

What queer thing Is our soldier hat!
Who ever dreamed Of q tile like that
TO deck the head Of q soldier boy
The battles hero and artists Joy!
Where are the feathers. buttons and braid
Wherein our forces were once arrayed-
The gay KEPT. the bearskin cap.
The fancy helmet ard jingling strapf
Conc where the woodbine used to twine-
Gone like the trout that broke the line
Like the Spanish heets-or last years
SHOWS
Gone where all the rubbish goes!
For the Yankee to-day Is a practical man.
Who goes 10 war on practical plan.
The militant Yankees plain felt hat
Looks odd; but It doesn't roof nat.
Do you remember, in sixty-one,
When the late unpleasantness was begun,
The toys that were worn? What mas.
queradei
A target excursion on parade
Big souave breeches, gilt-tasseled boots.
Nlk-frogged jackets, rainbow suits!
But those lads saw fghting-bled and died.
And learned to put fuss and feathers aside.
There's something rather businesslike
In that dull gray slouch without spike;
It's warm against the winters SHOWS,
II keeps the sun from the eyes and nose;
And. wet or dry, It is devil-may-care,
With a very taking bulldog air.
You may poke 1t up. or hatten II out.
Roll It. stretch It or throw It about;
In fact, IT'S rough-and-ready hat.
The Yankee himself. for the matter Of that.
In much the same. when It comes 10 style,
| As his simple. useful. capable tile
He marches and fights in ''git-thar'' way.
And where he lights he's safe to stay.
Rifle shooting's his national game
On land or sea it's all the same.
And a German helmet or Russian cap.
Or French contraption with fancy strap.
Or any other foreign fakir
Will find. II II runs against this Quaker,
That the slouch hats built to stand a fight.
Goes nicely back Of a rihe-sight.

Reflections Of "a spfnster,

Cupid is blamed for many matches
made by cupidity.
The lowest life remembers; to the
highest only is 1t given TO forget.
Money may not buy happiness, but it

A woman is said to he weak when she

he usually means iha, he wants her to

AL,t.ls Luck at Monte Carlo.

A short time ago a young nan paid
his first visit to the Casino. and with
an absolute lack of knowledge of how
the game Is played, threw down a
louis at the trente-et-quarahte table.
II CHANGED to fall on black. Lost in
trying to follow the game, he paid no
further attention to it until the Group
Ter called his attention to the fact that
he had staked the maximum and that
he must remove his winnings. Entire
" unheeded his twenty-frane piece
had doubled up" until it had reached
the Maximum. He obeyed the Group
Ter. leaving on his stake, ard black
came up again. Now he began to take
some interest. and as he had CHANGED
on a run of fifteen blacks ne shortly
afterward left the table with sixty
eight thousand francs for the run over.
He seemed to have no desire to pur-
sue Dame Fortune any further, and at
his first loss he left Moreover, it
would seem that IN this particular oc
casion the plan of the temptress did
not seem to have succeeded for the
next day the hero of the previous
evening was to be seen eontentedly
stalking single louis again, and he left
Monte Carlo at night carrying his win
ming almost intact. The name of this
most fortunate, most wise young man
was the Baron Rolling.

Paris an Trnprecnable CITY.

The French have been taught wis.
dom by past experience, and as. a re
suit have planned, and a few years
ago finished, system of fertilization
around Paris which are probably I'M
equalled for the purposes for which
they are intended by any similar forti-
fieations in the world A well-in-
formed military writer, member of
the general staff of the German army,
has given it as his opinion that a sue
eessful siege of Paris would be, under
present conditions, an impossible un.
dertaking.
The new Notifications that surround
the French capital, says Parsons,
are some fifteen or twenty miles from
the city, and are connected with Paris
and with each other by railway sys-
tenn which would enable the French
commander to quickly mass at one
point a very large body of MEN, while
the general of the besieging army, If
he wished to prevent the city from OBJ.
tanning supplies and thus shut in the
people and the army that was defend
ing it, would have to occupy a line ex.
tending more than one hundred miles,
and hence could not by any possibil.
Ity collect q large number of his force
at any one point 10 resist with even a
shadow of hope an attack of the en-
envy
1t required a German army of ap,
proximately 100000 men to lay siege
to Paris from September 10, 1870, to
January 30, 1871: but the authority we
refer to is of the opinion that to re-
peat the same operation a German be-
sieging army would have to number
more than 100000 men, and the
work of maintaining such force and
properly handling its parts would be
somthing which few Governments
would care to undertake and few mill
tary commanders would be able to
efficiently perform.
The French have spent upon these
new Notifications an amount various
~ estimated at from $30.900000 to
S5O0O0,O00, and hence can well afford
to sell the land occupied by some Of
the now obsolete Notifications of
generation ago.

$50. ATOM FOR bad SAND"
Railroad Mans Mistake Ia Handling Car
OF Crushed Gold Ore.

Railroad Mans Mistake Ia Handling Car
Of Crushed Gold Ore.
The average railroad official, from
he President down to the section boss,
thoroughly conversant with the
WORK that comes In his department,
but the following incident shows that
even the higher officials can make mis-,
takes.
Several months ago q Kansas City,
No., company bought a carload of
crushed ore In Mexico. Advtces were
duly received that the ore had been
shlpped-twenty tons of it. Weeks
passed and the ore did not come. The
smeltlng company politely asked the
lzr.4 agent of the railroad when the
4. = would arrive. The local agent said
tilt he had never heard of it. The
smelling company then appealed to the
general agent of the road. The gem
eral agent gave 1t up. Along the line
the question was passed until it
reached an official who started out
tracer for the carload of ore. A tracer
Is document on which every agent,
train conductor and every other per-
son who has had anything to do with
the shipment must say whence he took
1t and where he laid 1t down From
the mine in Mexico the car of ore was
traced from junction point to junction
point until it was we'll with the rail-
road company's local yards at Kansas
City, and thence to side track by the
roundhouse and into the possession of
the master mechanic.
A carload of crushed gold ore looks
like lot of yellow sand, and this par
ticular carload had been knocked
about and disrespeeted as a car of
common sand should be- When the
officials were notified that the tracer
had chased the car into the master me-
chanic's track they sent him note
asking him about the disposition of
the car, giving its number The mas.
ter mechanic turned the note over and
endorsed it on the back: "Tha car con-
tanned a bad quality of sand. Some of
1t used in the sand boxes of the en-
gines, but it was not servicable, so [
had it scattered along the right of
way" The railroad paid the smelter
company $50 a ton for the bad
sand"
