Sir charles Warren,s Bath.

There is something extremely Eng
lish in the story of Sir Charles War
ren "doing trimbics," as Bouncer ex-
pressed it, in the open air on the
battlefield of Vaal Kranz. Sir Charles,
it appears, is a strong believer in
hydropathy, and under no ejrcum-
stances intermits his morning bath.
On the occasion of Buffers last effort
to relieve Ladysmith, Sir Charles
found it impossible to leave his post,
so when day broke on the battlefield,
he ordered his servant to bring his
bath with sponge and towel, and there
and then, in the open air, Sir Charles
Warren, commanding the Fifth Di-
vision, proceeded to take his bath,
sublimely Indifferent to the fire of the
enemy. A humorous addition to the
incident relates how Sir Redvers Bull
Ter, wishing to consult with Sir
Charles, sent his orderly to summon
him. But not even an order from the
commander-in chief could interrupt
this matutinal function, and Sir Red
vers was obliged to ride to the bather,
and then an important conversation
was held between the two generals
the one on horseback and the other in
his tub. Diogenes himself never per-
formed feat of cooler indifference to
the conventionalities than Sir Charles
on this occasion. n.-LondOn News.

A Brave Mans Gentleness.

The Army and Navy Journal gives
a touching incident, which shows how
gentle a nature may exist beneath the
sternness which at times reckons not
the life Of men while in the pursuit of
victory.
The late Commander James w. Car
lin was in command of the Vandalia,
at Apia, Samoa, during the terrible
storm of March 16, 1889.
One evening, some years afterward,
on retiring to his room while visiting
his sister, he found a mouse that had
fallen into basin of water, and was
struggling for his life.
There was agony and defiance in
that little fellows eye," said the
Commander, speaking of it the next
day Gas L gazed on that helpless
little creature L thought of that terri
BILE night on the Vandalia, and going
to the open window, I gently emptied
the contents of the besin. I didn't
dry him with my towel, but I saved
his life" the Commander added.

loNELlEsr oE WOMEN.
The Home Of Mrs. Clark on a Little
Island in Bshrins Sea.

The Home Of Mrs. Clark on a Little
Island in Behrins Sea.
Without doubt the loneliest woman
that is to say, the one furthest re-
moved frcnl her kind-in all these
United States of America is Mrs.
Clark, the wife OF Major E. W. Clark,
Government Agent of the Pribylof or
Seal Islands in the Behring Sea.
This group, composed of the two
small islands of st. Paul and st.
George, are the homes of nearly all
the seals in existence, and they are
about 1900 miles west OF the entrance
to Puget Sound and about 200 north
west OF the Aleutian Islands, begin
ming at Unimak Pass. st. George,
which is the smaller of the two, be-
ing about six by twelve miles in ,ex-
tent, is forty miles from st. Paul, and
it has a population of about one hun
dred Aleuts and four or five whites,
consisting of Major Clark and his
wife, a physician, and two or three
clerks for the North American Com
mercial Company, which controls the
seal business and has stores and ware
houses on both islands. The little
village of St. George contains twenty
FIVE or thirty houses, including the
company's Buildings, the agent house
and Greek church. There are no
other houses on the islands, and Mrs.
Clark is the only white woman. Her
home is a small cottage of four rooms,
very cosy and comfortable, with books
and pictures and fne outlook over
the sea. She does no cooking in her
own house, as the Government officials
take their meals at the company's
house near by.
Mrs. Clark's nearest neighbor lis
the wife of the agent or st. Paul,
who is less lonely because she has
with her her two small children, Mrs.
Clark's children being grown and
having their own homes in the States.
There is no communication between
the islands except by one of the com
pany's ships and by revenue cutters,
as other ships are not permitted to
visit the islands. These ships come
Snly in the summer, and from October
until June Mrs. Clark does not expect
to see any one or hear anything from
the United States or to send word
home, no matter what happens. Sick
ness, death, disaster may come to her
far off in that forbidding sea, or may
visit her own at home, but no word
may come or go until navigation is
resumed.
ST. George is absolutely without
trees, but its rolling surface and
mountains, thousand feet high, are
beautifully green with coarse grass
and moss, and wild flowers of brilliant
hues dot the level stretches near the
sea. Blue foxes abound, and over
the rocks at the water's edge thou
sands and thousands of seals in cease
less activity disport themselves
noisily day and night from June until
December, while millions of water
fowl fill the air and the sea and futter
about the cliffs. Three hundred days
in the year the weather is dark and
dismal, and fogs hide the islands for
days at a time. The cold is never ex-
cessive, but the winter storms are
severe and terrific gales sweep over
sea and land There is no harbor,
and ships come to anchor a mile OF
more from shore.

Ants Have Their vende,tas.

All ants that are not from the same
nest seem to be deadly enemies, but
while an ant will do what he can to
put to death a stranger, he does not
seem to take n corresponding delight
in aiding his friends, as is shown by
the following experiment: A scientist,
in Srder to test the affection of ants
belonging to the same nest, took six
Of them and imprisoned them in a
small bottle, covering it with a piece
of coarse mesh muslin. Their fellows
paid no attention to the prisoners, but
when the experiment was repeated,
substituting, however, six ants of
rival tribe, their enemies swarmed
around the bottle and after something
like a week through persistent effort
they succeeded in eating their way
through the muslin. Two ants were
found dead, proving they had been
put to death.

snake and a blacksnake engaged in
deadly conflict. After being bitten the
black would go to water weed grow

At another time my friend had been

friend in hurrying down mountain

upon large log. Instantly "Burr-r-r"
warned him of danger. and looking Just
where he expected to land he saw
huge rattler coiled and ready to strike.
My friend was under such Roadway
that he could not stop, so gatheing all
his force he made a leap for life right
over the RATHER and stuck the gound
some twenty feet from the log with a
startled "Oh, Obi" and rolled on down
the mountain side.
Hearing the cutlery, the geologist
came back with whats the matter?"
'Rattlesnake" was sufficient expana-

found the snake coiled Just as he was
