> Sano View of Mad Anthony.

In Harpcr's, John r. Spears demon
strates that General Wayne, commonly
known as Mad Anthony" was III real
ity the sancst, coolest soldier in Wash
ingtcn's army.
"They called the hero of Stony Point
ard ihesMaumee Rapids Mad Anthony
Wayne" says Mr. Spears. "The title
was originated by an Irish soldier who
had been confined in the guardhouse
at the order Of the General, and it was
taken up by the people because of the
wild enthusiasm and determination
with which Wayne led his men when
the supreme moment Of battle came.
But observe that when the War Of the
Revolution impended he 'ransacked his
tory for accounts Of battles that he
might learn military tactics; and he
gave his days to the training of his
.neighbors. At Stony Point he led his
men in spite of his wound, but in pre-
pairing for the battle he appealed to the
pride; of his men by paraG'ng them
clean shaved and with hair we'll
powdered while the prelaid plans
included even the slaughter of the
dogs, that no yelp should betray the
approach Of the assaulting host. When
in Virginia he charged the hosts OF
CORVALLIS with only 500 men to back
him; when in Ohio, where the honor
of the Nation and the integrity of its
territory We're committed to his care,
he. took q legion of boys and mis-
ereants'Z gathered from the slunls, and
trained them until their skill with the
musket equalled if it did not surpass
that of the most noted backwoods In
dian-fghters.
"AIad Anthony Wayne as a leader
in battle was unsurpassed; but it
should also be remembered that his
record as drill-master is unequalled." !"

Snobs, Cads and Bounders.

A knot of men at a club were trying
to define the exact meaning of the
above terms, and this was the general
idea: -
A snob is a mildly pretentious per-
son, negative rather than positive,
whose antics raise a smile but rarely
excite anger. He may be extremely
we'll dressed OF he may be a sloyen;
generally speaking, he is bore.
A cad is 4 more active and militant
character, whose entrance in club
causes some dismay, but not a revolt.
In alluding to him as bore some
rather warm adjective is preixed, part
ly because he is difficult to evade,
partly because he is apt to. say or do
something for which he deserves to be
kicked, ,sand the practical impossibility
of doing so irks the others present. BE
is very deleterious to large eaters after
dinner, since he arrests digestion and
sends the blood to the head.
The bounder is what might be called
a gorgeous cad, beside whom snob is
rest and comfort. His bEiskness re-
duces you to aphasia and temporary
cerebral anaemia; his laugh curdles
your blood. You cannot be charitable
to a bounder; charity stops right there.
He empties clubs and causes ruin to
corporations and vestries by the Yio-
lence of the passions he areuses. A
noisy, screaming, superfuous peacock
of cad is bounder, such as many a
captain of liner has longed to put in
irons, for, weirdly enough, he is apt to
escape seasickness in order to harass
mankind when most helpless. - New

BEES KILLED A CHICKEN.
Insects Object to Black and to Blacl
Gon,ccocks in Particulor.

Insects Object to Black and to Blacl
Ganiecocks in Particular.
Bees are opposed to black as color
Whether this is because they dislike
4 symbol of mourning, think black
typifies cloud or consider it the
emblem of death is not known. but
the fact remains that bees do not
hesitate to display their hatred for
things black upon the slightest pro.
vocation. I. L. Richards, proprietor
OF the Achme Apiaries, at Littleton,
can testify to this with regret.
Richards is a chicken fancier rs well
as a bee expert. lie has some of the
finest chickens in Colorado, and not
long ago made up his mind to have
more. He bought some imported
chickens from Hong Kong and paid
4 fancy price for them. One great
berufled cock cost him $S5, and was
as black as a piece of coal, save for
one red mark Oh its back. Richards
proudly took the big foreigner from
it's box and showed it to his friends
with exultation. Then he set it free
in the chicken yard. SThe beehiyes
occupy a corner of this yard, and have
never caused any trouble. But with
the advent Of the black rooster the
living emblems of industry rebeiled.
Richards went back to see his new
pet half an hour later and was amazed
to see the yard in terrible conf
motion The great chicken, which
had stalked so proudly about his new
home a few moments before, to the
wonder of the old chickens, was now

strangely and Tapping its wings in
desperation. Around it swarmed 1000
bees. Vfciously they darted at the
unfortunate fowl. They struck it half
a hundred at time.
Richards was about to rush to the
rescue of his fayorite, when he realiz-
cd the folly Of such an undertaking.
He stood ,helplessly by while the angry
little honey makers Stu1S the Dlack
China cock to death. The bewildered
stranger from across the seas dashed
vainly about for. few minutes, to
the alarm of the other chickens. 1t
struck out with its wings and feet.
Turn as it would, it could not escape
the infuriated bees. At last it fell.
and the relentless winged torturers
settled upon it, until its body was
nearly covered. Richards waited until
the bees went back to their hives.
Then he carefully wrapped the dead
cock in 4 sack and carried it away
for burial. Since then he has never
tried black chickens in his yard:

Old Nail RoI.

Among the treasures held by the
Antiquarian Society in Portsmouth.
New Hampshire. there is an old box
the history Of which Is given on q
label which 1t bears.
The box Is Of tin. painted green and
shows signs OF much usage. which
Is not surprising when one considers
that 1t carried the United States mail
between Portsmouth and Boston dur.
ing the Revolution. 1t is about nine
inches long. four and q half inches
wide. and q little more than that In
height.
II was carried on horseback by Cap
tain John Noble. otherwise known as
Deacon Noble. who was post-rider un.
I'll 1888. This box contained all the
mail. and made every week one round
trip. occupying three days In the jour.
ney-from Portsmouth to Boston the
first Of the week. and three days at the
end of the week from Boston to Ports
mouth. The distance between the two
places Is little more than fifty miles.
The mail-box Is somewhat battered
and the paint Is faded and scraped.
but there Is no doubt that In case
need arose the stout little box could
even now serve rs II did in the time
Of the country's peril.
