Brigands in the causasus.

The Russian government has at last
adopted what promises to be an eff.
fective measure for suppressing the
lawless bands of ROBBERS who have for
years past held various districts of
the Caucasus In state of terror.
Some two years ago the military au-
thorities at Tifiis came to the sueeor
of the people by distributing arms
and ammunition among them; in
many instances machine guns were
furnished to the chiefs of mountain
villages and isolated .ettlements In
the plains. For time the raiding BAN
ditti suffered severe losses, but by or
ganizing regular pitched battles
against the villagers and settlers they
again got the upper hand. A body of
$500 military and mounted police all
picked men, has now been organized
for the special purpose Of exterminat
ing the pest, which is particularly
prevalent in the two governments of
Kutals and Kars. No quarter will be
shown to the brigands offering resis-
lance, and those taken prisoner will
be tried by court martial and shot or
hanged offhand

A veteran cavalry horse partakes of
the hopes and fears of battle just the
same rs his rider. AS the column
swings into line and waits the horse
grows nervous over the waiting. Ii
the wait is spun out, he will tremble
and sweat and grow apprehensive. IL
he has been six months In service, he
knows every bugle call. As the call
comes to advance the rider can feel
him working nj the bit with his tongue
TO get II between his teeth. AS he
moves out he VIII either seek TO get on
faster than he should or bolt. lie can
not bolt however. The lines viii car
ny him forward. and after n minute he
will grip, lay back his ears, and one
can feel his sudden resolve to brave the
worst aud have done with II as soon as
possible \ man seldom cries out
when hit in the turmoil of battle. 1t
Is the same with horse.-Buffalo

Haitian Conservatism.

The Haitian is a fine example of
conservatism. What was, must be
right. A few years ago the town of
Port de Paix, owing to an unexpected
progressive spirit on the part of the
Government, constructed some fine
water works. The town was we'll
piped, with hydrants at short distances
on all the streets, Decorative foun.
tains were placed in the squares,
drinking places for man and beast
everywhere. The natives, as usual,
took not the slightest interest In this
important and necessary undertaking.
At last, when completed, in accord
ance with the custom of the country.
the water system was opened with a
series OF fetes. The whole section of
the country had a HILARIOUS holiday
balls, professions, cockfights, &C.
When these were all over the natives
came to the conclusion that the water
works must have been built to give
an excuse for them, and the water
works were no longer of any service,
so they promptly smashed the whole
system, and returned to carting the
city's water from the distant river by
OK teams. Now they tie their animals
to the hydrants, fall over the frag-
ments of the pipes scattered round
the streets. and are happy.-Harpers
Magazine.

Fourteen Mistakes.

An English paper gives n list of
what II terms "the IL mistakes of
life" While there are undoubtedly 9TH
err mistakes than those mentioned, the
list Is fairly comprehensive one.
1t Is n great mistake to set up our
own standard of right and wrong and
Judge people accordingly; to measure
the enjoyment of others by our own;
to expect uniformity of opinion In this
world; to look for judgment and ex-
perience In youth; to endeavor to mold
all dispositions alike; to look for per-
lection In our own actions; to worry
ourselves and others with what can
not be remedled; not to yield In imma-
terial matters; not to alleviate all that
needs alienation as far as lies In our
power; not TO make allowances for the
intirmities of others; to consider every
thing impossible that we cannot per-
form; to believe only what our finite
minds can grasp; to expect to be able
to understand everything.
And the last and greatest mistake OF
all is to live for time alone, when any
moment may launch us into eternity.

said Major Tom Williams, standing on
the edge of the sidewalk viewing O
small black pony. "That horse has
more of the traditional horse sense
than his size would show for" lilo
continued, Watch him"
The major whistled few times, and
the little horse which was nibbling
from bale of hay on the sidewalk,
raised his head and crossed the street
He brought the cart to which he was
attached at standstll just In front of
the major.

that horse has an eye for distance. I

that. That horse, too, is a natural

At this point large, white dog
brushed against the major with
friendly wag of the tail
you never saw that dog kiss the
pony, did you? Well, watch him"
Major Williams climbed into his cart,
and, calling the dog. said, kiss him"
Without moments hesitation the dog
ran to the head of the horse, and,
jumping several feet off the ground,
kissed the pony several tlmes.-New

safely say that, young and old, one
third Of the entire navy officers as well
as men are seaslck during storms as
well as at other times. In theory naval
officers and sailors are entirely free
from such so called weakness, but, in
fact, they have stomachs and are suf-
ferers at times the same as the rest
of humanity.
'The sailor In this respect has many
advantages over the naval officers and
Is less sensitive to seaslckness for the
reason that he seldom has what IL
called shore duty to perform. and ho
is on the ship all the time, barring
the days off now and then of liberty.
When an officer, II Is entirely different,
for he seldom has to spend rs much
time on the ship as he does on shore.
The three years sen duty are generally
followed by three years. shore duty,
during which time his sea legs and
stomach entirely disappear and have
to be built up again.
at Is rare that an officer on return
to sea duty does not have to go
through all the painful and distressing
experiences of his first seasickness,
and l am not sure but each recurrence
of this experience Is worse than the
original. l have known dozen off,

Ice plants and milkweeds have the

his chin resting In the palms of his

His nephew, Harold Martin, was
