as snow, his feecy wool glistened

He was well-built man, and his

held doubtful curves and a curious
droop was a fact naturally unknown

Dayias Too Much for the Boys.

: A gray-haired alumnus of Columbia,
on from a western state for the gradu-
ating exercises, chatted of the days
when he was at Columbia. There
was Prof. Davies" said the old col
legian. I've fellows used to like him
as we'll as it was possible for a col
lege boy to like a professor Of mathe-
mates. One winter recollect, the
members of my class, myself among
the rest, had found considerable
amusement and relieved ourselves Of
class work by burning asafetida, pep
per and other unpleasant things in
the various class rooms. We tried the
trick with Professor Anthem, who
taught Greek, and with Prof. Marine,
who occupied the chair of moral phil
osophy, At last some of the holder
spirits suggested that we transfer eur
attentions to Prof Davies. We'll, i
remember that morning. It was bit.

room were closed to keep the warmth
within. We were on hand early, and
had several fat Jumps of asafetida
smoking away Wnen the professor
came. He walked to the desk and
laid his hat and coat on it. Then the
odor struck him. He hesitated a mo-
ment, and then walked slowly to the.
door, locked it, and put the key in his
pocket. Now, gentlemen, we will en-
JOY this together, said he, as he re-
turned to his seat. Then he got back
at US. The mathematics he threw at
us would have filed a set of 5mathe-
NAUTICAL books from the primary arith-
metic to the calculus. And all the
time the asafetida was smoking, for
he would not let us remove it. When
we got out of that room after two
hours we were wiser and more discreet
boys, and you can bet we played no
more tricks on the author Of Davies

Lance Boats of the German Army Cause
" Suspicion. +
At least a real use has been discoy-
cred for the lances carried by the
European cavalry. In America we don't
attach much Importance to Slances, but
IN England in the early stages of the
war in the Transvaal much was heard
of Beers being stspitted on English
lances. In the German army, however,
scheme has been devised by which.
the lances of the cavalry form a frame
work for boats. This is such an adj
vanced step that the English are
watching closely to see what success
attends it. Twelve to sixteen lances
and a few cross sticks form the frame
work for these lance boats, and be-
sides the oars, which are made of a
lance and a canvas blade, the only 9TH
er essential part Of the boat is the wat
erproof covering. It takes only five
minutes for the troopers to tie the
frame work together and two minutes
more to fasten on the cover. Then the
boat is ready for launching. Sometimes
to insure stability the two boats are
fastened together like catamaran.
When these boats are packed up one
horse can easily carry two ST. them
It is said that with the old system it
required 1000 men and $500 horses
merely to look after the transport of
the boats if every squadron in the Eng
fish army were supplied with two
boats, however, only 500 horses are
needed, and in the item Of fodder alone
there is "a saving of $137, 500 a year

reforms that Were Expensive.

About three quarters OF. q railroads
receipts come from the freight depart
ment. The passenger department. sup
plies nearly all the rest, the income
from mail, express and other privileges
being comparatively small. Garrying
passengers is a simple matter, or would
be, if state legislatures did not now
and then take a hand in prescribing
added specifications for railroad pas
senger service. In Ohio a law was
passed decreeing that the height be-
tween the platform and the lowest
steps of passenger coaches should not
exceed IL inches. This cost the rail
roads nearly 500 900, and the reform
led to the abolition OF a number Of flag
stops where the passengers had been
quite willing to scramble up OFF the

Where each queer oil portrait watched
US with a countenance of wood,
,Ad the shells upon the Whatnot in a
dustless splendor stood.
Then the quaint old parlor organ, with
the quaver in its tongue,
Seemed to tremble in its fervor as the
sacred songs were sung,
As AS we sang the homely anthem, sang
the glad revival hymns
OF the glory Of the story and the light
no sorrow dims.
While the dusk grew even deeper and
the evening settled down. # a.
