Hard Drinking Russians.

One of the hardships of New York correspondent, who tried to accom- pany the Russians during the recent military activities in China, had to do with the convivial capacities of the czar's officers, whose guest he was. Vodk and sakuska were their favor ite tipples. These, as everybody knows, are not soft" and to drink a Russian toast means the rapid con- sumption of full glass of strong al- c-holic liquid. Then the glasses are turned upward, and must leave no moist spot on the tablecloth. One toast is to be responded to with an- other, when the same formality must again be celebrated, and so on. 'sWhen that great war between Rus sia and some eastern power really comes," the man declares, ability to speak Russian will not be the quail fication looked for by editors when searching for correspondents. ."--Ar- gonaut.

The sound of Gums.

A remarkable instance of the far reaching power of sound is given in the interesting diary written in Latin in the seventeenth century, admirably translated by Rev. Robert Isham, of MT. Thomas Isham, of Lamport Hall. It is there stated that during the naval engagement between the English and French combined fleets on the one hand and the Dutch on the other, in 1872, the report of the guns was dis tinctly heard atBrixworth (Northamp- tonshire). It wasAin this action that Lord Sandwich, the admiral, was blown up on his ship with 500 of his men, though the Dutch were defeated and were pursued to the coast of Hol- land by the English fleet. If this story be correct-and some may be tempted to say "Credat Judaeus"--the voice of the cannon must have travelled a dis tance of over 12O miles, Southwold, 1, where the battle took place, being at the mouth of the Blythe, 28 miles northeast of Ipswich. In 1927, during the battle of Navarino, MT. John We're Isham, then quartered at Corfu, dis tinctly heard the firing at distance of at least 200 miles, and on the naval re- ception of the sultan by the queen at Portsmouth the sound of the guns dis charged on the Welsh coast was plain- ly distinguished at Portsmouth.-The Pytchley Hunt.

Flarer of the HON Ghost.

One of the rarest and most won- derful orchids known is a native of the Isthmus of Panama. The early Spanish settlers there named it Flor del Espiritu Santo (Flower of the Holy Ghost), and those who have seen it readily understand why. 1t grows in marshy places from de- cayed log, or sometimes from the creviee in rock. The leaf stalk reaches several feet in height. and the flower stalk, which grows from the bulb, bears 12 or 15 buds. The flower is, pure white, and is shaped something like our jack-in-the-pulpit Inside the flower, right in the heart of it, is perfect image of dove, with dropping wings, snowy breast, gold tinted head and crimson beak. No effort of the imagination is neces- sary to see the resemblance. It is a perfect image, exquisitely beautiful in tints and giving off an odor that no perfumer could initiate. The Spaniards named it 's1he Flower of the Holy Ghost" land regarded it with superstitious awe, but the native In- dians, more superstitious still, wor- shiped it like an idol and would not let the ground on which it grew be touched.-N, Y. Herald.

THE LooP-THE-LooP.

That gallantry and valor are two distinguishing and characteristic traits of ex-Councilman Michael D. Brennan is we'll known of all men, but the story of how the latter was recent ly put to the test by the former IS known to but few. The story comes from Atlantic City.
 During his recent sojourn at the re- sort Mir. Brennan's curiosity drew him frequently to that marvellous and bi- zarre invention of-well, of somebody known as "Loop-the-Loop." MT. Bren- nan would behold men and women hurled through the loop in positions Delsarte never dreamed of. And the more MT. Brennan gazed upon the strange things the oftener would he murmur softly to himself: Not for Michael D."
 One day friend invited him to take the loop.
 Not for 100 shares of Northern Pa cific in boom times," was the reply.
 On another occasion friend said: T believe you are actually afraid
 That's just what I am," MT. Bren- nan replied, land I don't care who knows it. When I want to commit suicide I know an easier way"
 But the loop had strange fascin- alton for the Baltimorean. It drew him to it at all hours of the day and night The climax came, as climaxes do. Two friends with their wives happened to come along and, finding MT. Brennan at his post, stopped to discuss the queer contrivance. The three gentlemen and one lady were all of the opinion that the authorities should close the loop. Not so with the other lady. After gazing earnest. ly at the loop for long time she said Il am going to make that trip. I've had it on my mind ever since we came here. know you dare not go (to her husband), but I know one man who fears nothing. Come. MT. Brennan your arm please"
 1t was warm evening, but chill struck to the marrow in the ex-coun cilman's massive frame. A film seemed to draw across his eyes and about the roots of his hair came a decidedly tingling sensation. With g bow that a courier would have en vied MT. Brennan replied:
 'Nothing would give me greater pleasure, madam" and then, sottc voce, May the Lord forgive me" He walked to the Hoop" like a man going to the scaffold
 They took Mir. Brennan and his companion and hurled them in zig gag fashion through space. At times their heels seemed about to dig into the complacent moon, while at others they shot out over the ocean and were pulled back with a jerk that made them bless the hand that did it. They dove, leaped, shot out sideways, and then the trip was made. and MT Brennan, slightly pale, but imperturb l able as ever, led his speeches. charge to the waiting husband. At last she remarked:
 Lovely, wasn't it, Mir. Brennan" s'It was, it was," replied he, and as he bade them goodnight, he said te l himself, "Never again."
 That night Mir Brennan packed his trunk and early in the day sped away for Baltimore, where ''Loop-the-loops' | cease from troubling and venturesome 1 ladies are at est.-Baltimore Sun

It was at. an evening party at Southampton. A young woman with a fine "natural'' voice had just fin ished a song. Everyone applauded, but no one had understood word uttered by the fair songstress be- cause of her miserable mouthing of the words. An old fellow well known for his biting sarcasm asked:
 "How charmingly Miss singsl Who composed the beautiful song she has just fnished?"
 "Oh, it is by Mendelssohn," replied the hostess.

"BIG JIM" PARKER,s TALE
Was Not Called as a Witness in czo1-
 gosz Trial.

gosz Trial.
 While lacking the advantage of per sonal acquaintance with Big Jim" Parker, says the Hartford Post. we are inclined to believe that he must be gifted with luxurious imagination. The story which he tells of having been the first to tackle the assassin Czolgosz seems plausible until exam 1ned ill the light of statements made by other eye-witnesses of the shooting. Several of these persons were on the stand at Buffalo yesterday testifying in the trial and none of them men, toned Big Jim.' Private P. OBrien was one of the witnesses. He testified that when the shots were fired he jumped at Czolgosz, knocked him over against someone, got the re- volver. and he thinks he was the first one to reach the anarchist. John Branch, a colored employe of the ex- position company, witnessed the af- fair and saw an artilleryman grab the prisoner, but saw nothing of Parker. George A. Foster, a seret service agent, was right on the spot and yet he said under oath that he saw no col l ored man 1n the fracas that followed the shooting. A ]. Other creditable witnesses all swore to facts about the shooting and their accounts generally agree, but no men, 1 tion was made of the assault upon the anarchist by slugger Parker.
 And yet we understand that "Big Jim" publicly avowsd in Rochester the l the other day that he was the first to lower the anarchist to the floor and claims that he prevented further shooting. He is going on a lectdring tour and has been known to sell but tons from his clothing. Judged by the testimony sworn to in court Par ker is a first-class fraud and a prevar- 1 icator.
 l Parker should enter the employ of | the New York Journal.
