Patriotism.

At the Siege of Turin In 1900 the
French had obtained possession Of one
Of the subterranean galleries which
communicated with the citadel. Hop
ing by this means to make themselves
masters of the citadel, they had Sc
cretly posted in the gallery party Of
two hundred grenadicrs. A Piedmont
ese peasant named Micha, who had
been forced to serve as pioneer, and
who had been made a corporal, was at
work In mine near the spot with
twenty men. Hearing the French
overhead, and convinced that If they
remained moment longer masters OF
the gallery the fortress would be lost,
he determined to sacrifice his own life
to save the place. He Immediately
sent away his comrades, desiring them
to let him know by the discharge Of a
musket when they were out Of the
reach Of danger. AS soon as he heard
the signal he put a match to the mine,
and blew himself up along with the
two hundred grenadiers. The King of
Sardinia rewarded his wife and chill
dren, whom at the moment Of his
death Micha had commended to his
care, and he also settled Il pension ON
the whole of his family.

Af1han New Woman.

The new woman has penetrated even
to the hurcm Of the Ameer Of Afghanis-
tan, where she wears male attire aud
does us she pleases.
The Ameer picked her up on his re-
turn journey from the northern part OF
his dominions IL good many years ago.
She had been brought before him by an
indignant father and proposed husband
for punishment. She would not con-
form to the usage Of the country and
enter the married state. though she had
then reached the age when 1t became
incumbent upon her to do so.
The girl declared she had run wild
all her life, and did not wish to give up
her freedom and he shut up in harem.
She sought the Ameer's protection and
obtained 1t.
".All right" he said, 'since you want
to be free you shall be, but free you
must also remain; that Is your punish
ment. You wish to live like Il man; you
shall live like one. and for your own
protection you must wear mems
clothes"
On her arrival in Cabul she was Civ
on the title of older. or chief, and was
made the harem's messenger. She
comes and goes as she pleases or is or
one even in slanderous Cabul has ever
breathed word against her fair name.

He Loves Music.

"lf l had plenty Of money to do with
as / wished" said Senator Lindsay, Of
Kentucky, to a party Of friends at the
Hotel Wellington the other morning,
"Id have music played at all Of my
meals and get cigars made Mt $50 per
100. These are two luxuries would
most surely indulge myself in. I'd
have the music played by a small or
chestra, say horn, and two or three
viollns and flute and bass viol, and
I'd have 1t play soft, harmonious airs
while l ate, and now and then I'd have
vocal music given by colored voices.
There's peculiar harmony in negroes
singing tone. I'd have 'em sing such
things as When the Watermelon
Hangs Upon the Vine That's song
calculated to inspire the most sluggish
appetite. remember hearing it once
on Mississippi river boat. A lot of us
were aboard. and in the party was
Hooker of Mississippi. There were
some darkies aboard who played In
strumental music with banjos. guitars
and fiddle. asked 'em If they ever
sang. and they said they did sometimes
Well. they struck up When the Water
melon Hangs Upon the Vine Hooker
had never heard 1t before and 1t nearly
set him crazy"

THE WRONG WAY TO AL1GHT.

1t IS more ample. and it commands
finer landscape. The sense of the time
of year, spring. summer, or even win
ter. Is more insistent. The personnel
may not be quite so impressive as in
the Row, but that Is another matter.
The riding Is Il little mixed. Every
body thinks himself entitled to have Il
try, The freedom from fear and trem-
bling with which some Frenchmen will
mount a horse must ever cause fear
and trembling in the behOlder The
beggar on horseback is not half SO Oh
iectionable as the rich man who has
mounted late in life. The park riding
is good. but here once more, as In all
else, it tends to err on the side OF
finesse. and to suggest the HippodrOme.
There are no better circus riders In the
world. Who but they have taught the
horse to waltz and to make his bow:
A little Of this affectatiOn has crept
into the management of the cob. FL
neesse! finesse! you find 1t everywhere
even In the institution Of afternoon
tea. The bread and butter is a tritie
too diaphanous for human natures
daily food The sense Of u religious
rite Is little too intrusive. When the
French copy the foreigner, they copy
with the exaggeration Of idOlatry.

Her Motto.

The members of a Bible class in q
New England parish We're studying st.
pauls rules for Christian living, set
forth in the twelfth chapter of Romans.
Among the questions asked by the
leader Of the class was, "What motto
should be adopted when strangers are
to he entertainment"
The proper answer Of course, and the
one given by all the members Of the
class. with one exception, was: "Given
to hospitality"
In the class, however, there was one
young person who held different idea;
this was the minister's daughter who,
since she was Is years old, had been
the head Of his house, and the manager
of many difficult meal.
II don't agree with the Others" she
said, firmly. II think very often the
motto should be: Patient in tribula-
tion.'"

INVENTORS AT WORK.
Rich and Poor Scientists with the
Same End in View.

Rich and Poor Scientists with the
Same End in View.
1t SO happens that to-day other inves-
LEGATIONS are being carried on with
view to wrest some secret from nature
whereby there may be Improvement In
the propulsion of vessels and the cheap
ening of the cost. Some OF these sclen-
lists have no temptation IN the way of
the gaining of Il fortune, whereas. 9th
ers are inspired wholly by that i'm
pulse. Thus, John jacob Astor, who Is
fond Of mechanics and finds his chief
recreation In his amateur wOl kshOp
and laboratory. is reported by some or
our steamboat owners to feel sure that
he had discovered method OF pro-
polling steamboats, in such manner
that storms will not affect them, and
SO that they will ride the seas as
smoothly and easily during tempest
as they do In fair weather.
Mr.. Astors apparatus is not ex-
planned any further than that he ex-
poets to accomplish these results. The
practical steamboat men to whom he
about his apparatus, but their doubts
would be much greater were 1t not
known that MIR. Astor can both drive
and make locomotive engine, that he
has invented several ingenious ma
chimes, and has a good understanding
Of the fundamental principles of
physics.
On the other hand, Mr.. Colin Camp
bell. a poor man, but one Of those sclen-
titic enthusiasts who are looked upon
as eccentric, almost cranks. until at
last they achieve something and are
then spoken of as geniuses, has perfect
confidence that an apparatus which he
Is now explaining to those who own
or control steamboats,. will be far SUI
perior to the screw propeller or the pad
die wheel for certain purposes. 1t can
be described briefly and untechnically
as an apparatus which, by the explo-
sion of powder from tube suspended
below the rudder. will propel the boat
Some Of the steamboat men laugh at
the proposition and would probably
laugh harder were 1t not known that
Mr. Campbell is Il warm friend OF
Chauncey NJ. Depew. who has had con-
fidence in him and has supported him
in some Of his earlier mechanical sue
cesses.
Mr.. Campbell looks for the pecuniary
rewards. They are his inspiration. Mr.
Astor finds his whole inspiration In the
excitement and delight which creative
work gives him and possibly in the
hope that his name may he associated
with something else than riches, for he
would rather be known as the inventor
of some apparatus that revolutionized
some branch of commerce or Industry
than as one of the richest of the citi-
zens Of New York.-New York letter In
