II is not generally known that in ST.
Petersburg there exists a special school
where young men are trained for po.
lice service in the two capitals. In
consequence OF the numerous outbreaks
and the growing necessity for a more
efficient and well-trained police force.
the minister Of the interior has re-
solved to open a second policemen's
training school for service in the prov
inces. The school will have several
courses Of lectures and practical drill
for officers and men. During their
training the young men win be used
occasionally for actual service in the
capital, SO as to give them practical
experience in the discharge Of their
duties. Who can help admiring the
painstaking care and foresight of Rus
sian autocracy in defending it's own
precious existence?

We'll, the bride has at least one
consolation. Her husband can't pos
sibly be a greater fool than he looked
while the ceremony was being per-
formed" Thus spake a young woman
to a Chicago Chronicle reporter on
emerging from a church where a
couple of her friends had just been
made one. But, then, / don't really
think he looked more silly than the
average man does under similar try
ing circumstances, and l have never
been able to see just why this is so.
The brides are generally a bit t1uster-
ed, of course, and sometimes fearful,
but they are usually calmness persona
fed compared with the party of the
second part.
mot long ago I had quite a long
chat with the pastor of our church
on this subject. You know, DR..
Fourthly is quite an old man and has
married quantities of people. SO his
knowledge of the matter is intimate.
He told me that in his experience it
was nearly always the man who
showed extreme nervousness, the
bride being usually quite cool. For
instance, one mar insisted on draw
ing out his watch every few moments
until the girl took it out of his hand.

She looked at him to discover
whether by any possibility he wal jest

that his eyes were larger and seemed

and she drew away from him involun-
tarily.

country and the life?"

1t had come SO suddenly, and ap-
parently just when they were farthest

realized a moment later that this was
distinctly weak, but the words were
said.

Boer Courtesy to
English Army Nurse

A curious incident befell an army
nursing sister while out riding alone
in the Northern Transvaal, close to
a small town which has been held for
the past year by the English, says
the London Hospital. Two men on
horseback, dressed in what seemed to
her the uniform of Jul scouts rode
by. When they had gone a little fur
Their, they ~dismounted, and, taking
their rifles in their hands, came up,
grasped the reins Of her horse, and
asked her If "she would like a walk"
Surprised at the question, she inquired
to what regiment they belonged.
Their answer made her aware that,
though claiming to be British, they
were really Beers in disguise. The
men spoke to each other in Dutch,
and then one said to her: I'VE are
Beers and we want your horse" The
sister, greatly distressed at the
thought of losing the animal, which
was borrowed, begged the men not to
take it. They replied that they were
very short Of horses, and required it
badly. Expostulations proved un-
availing; she had to give way with
as good grace as possible, made easy

In q Fit Of Anger He Perfects

Some twelve years ago, when Rich

he hit upon a novelty in the shape of
broochpins. He finished a few by
hand, and they seemed SO much SUI
perior to the usual form of brooch
pin that he thought his fortune was
made. He set to work in his spare
time to invent a machine which
would turn out broochpins for weld

wanted to form a brooch, so that the
veriest novice of a jeweler could
make any small trifle into a brooch

done.
Laverson spent weeks on his ma

borrowed money from any one who
would lend to him; yet the thing
would not do what he wanted. 1t

discovered why the machine failed to
work properly, and he made the al
terations he thought necessary. But,
so far from the change setting things
right, the machine then refused to
work at all, and in a fit Of rage and
disappointment Laverson picked up
a hammer and flung it at his ma
chince with a very supplementary
ejaculation.
Then he stamped out of the shop
and banged the door after him.
He did not look at the machine
again for many weeks, but when he
did he found it worked. Though it

of a unique pattern. These pins have

successful invention out of a hopeless
failure.

comes to handing over the fee at such

A ~"SandWich.''

How many persons who daily eat
sandwiches are aware that 1t is to an
ancestor of the Earl of Sandwich that
that popular form Of food owes its
name? The story runs that the earl in
question raj very fond of playing
cards, and in order to prevent having
to stop to eat he used to have a slice
of meat put between two slices of
bread and eat these as he played. This
got to be called a Sandwich" but
gradually the inverted commas were
dropped as the word became an accept
ed one in the language. The present
earl became colonel Of the Grenadier
Guards in 1881. He was once military
secretary at Gibraltar, and has been
attached to special embassies to va
rious capitals of Europe.
