Doing 1t Well.

Half heartedness never wins in thi.
world. If thing is not worth doing
do not do it, is a good rule. The lat,
Robert Louis Stevenson was always
an enthusiast in whatever he under
took, even when at play.
His stepdaughter, Mrs. Isabel Strong
who was for time his amanuensis
says that Stevenson used to maintain
that no one could write a good story
who was not a good player-who coulC
not enter fully into the spirit of ;
game. He himself threw all his ener
gies into whatever he might be play
ing.
At one time he was visiting a hous,
where small boy was playing boat
on the sofa. When the lad got tired
he did not wait for the ship to come
to port, but got down from the sofa
and walked toward the door.
Stevenson, who was watching hin
eagerly, cried out to him in apparen
alarm: ooh, don't do that! Swim a
leastw-Youth's Companion.

The Great Seal of England.

The seal consists of a large mass of
sterling silver, measuring about 81
inches in diameter by IL inches In
depth or thickness. 1t Is in two parts,
both smooth on the outer side, but elab-
orately engraved within. These two
surfaces are impressed upon lump of
wax attached in an Ingenious way to
any document to which her majesty as
sovereign gives her royal assent. The
weight of the seal Is 1876 ounces. Each
seal is engraved during the reign of
the sovereign whose name it bears,
and the collection presents a curious
and accurate epitome of English his
tory.
All lord chancellors have taken the
greatest care of the seals in their
charge and have contrived recesses
and elaborate devices for their safe
custody. One Of them in the reign of
Charles II actually slept with the seal
under his pillow and by this loving pre-
caution saved it from thieves who one
night broke into his house and carried
off the mace belonging to the house of
lords and other valuable property

that the young man is simply talking

he Is the first man who would be bored
to death by such girl. This young
man may like to fancy that he is be-
lever In such false sentiments, and
perhaps he does believe in them for
the moment of saying. But this may
more than likely be only his way of
protesting against the wave of energy
which the girlhood of today is respond
ing to, out of which perhaps may
come salvation even to man. Or else,
possibly, there is nothing more than sly
method in his old school assertion

Mrs. H. S. Boal, daughter of VIII

a place in Wyoming which bears the
strange name of B. x. Ranch, Slack.
Among the curious questions put to
her by visitors are these:

"Have you ever been scalped your

SUITS or ARMoR.
the Last Battle In which They Were
Worn by European Soldiers.

=
Worn by European Soldiers.
The last occasion, it is believed, on
which suits of armor were worn in bat
tie by European soldiers was in 1913.
The incident, according to chroniclers
of the Napoleonic wars, took place in
that year, when a small French force
was holding the little fort at Aquilla
In the Abruzzi against rising of the
hostile peasantry of the district
The French were not strong enough
to fight their way through the lines of
their opponents, who outnumbered
them 20 to 1, while, as the latter had
no guns, the Frenchmen could hold
their position with confidence.
There were, however, left on the
space lying between the opposing
forces some dozen or SO guns which the
beleaguered had not been able to take
with them into the fort.
An attempt was made by the besieg-
ers to remove these guns by means of
a long rope worked by capstan plac-
ed In house short distance away,
and, though their first endeavors re-
suited In failure, the French realized
that the ultimate capture of the ord
nance would seriously Jeopardize the
chances of the fort holding out.
The necessity of spiking the guns
was apparent, but sortie in the face
of the overwhelming musketry fire of
the insurgents was out of the question.
At this juncture an idea occurred to an
artillery officer. He remembered hav-
ing noticed, In making an inspection of
the magazine, some old plate armor,
and, selecting from the best preserved
- suits, he determined to try whether
they would not afford sufficient protec-
ton for his men to attempt to work I'M
der cover of their own guns.
Twelve stalwarts, therefore, marched
out clad in this cumbrous, unaccustom-
ed accouterment, taking with them the
necessary tools, and succeeded in exc
cutting their purpose under hail OF
bullets from the besiegers.

ais the greatest market for South Afri-

large quantities from the interior.
This ivory is placed in large ware
houses from which it Is either sold at

character, an expert In ivory. He told
me many curious things about it and
among others propounded the following
theory as an explanation of why ele-
plants go mad and occasionally run

"In the warehouse were a pair or
magnificent tusks, measuring fully IA
feet from tip to tip, which in life must
have been carried by a veritable Go
liah among elephants. The expert In
showing me these tusks pointed out the
fact that while one was complete and
fiawIess the other was broken off at
the point and showed deep scratches
and abrasions throughout its length.
"Now,' said he, If you will look
near the base you will find hole

cause of this frenzy.
