Benedict Arnold in 1775.

The prestige of Arnold at the begin
ming of the Revolution is thus reflect
ed by Professor Justin H. Smiths de-
scription in the January Century Of
the heroic "battle with the wilderness"
IN the march to Quebec, under Ar
nold's command:
"The name of the leader, too, excited
enthusiasm. Dorothy Dudley and the
rest of the ladies in Cambridge loved
TO gossip about q man whom they de-
pcribed as daringly and desperately
brave, sanguinely hopeful. of restless
activity, intelligent and enterprising,'
gay and gallant; and the soldier lads
told one another admiringly how he
marched through the wicket-gate at
old Ticonderoga shoulder to shoulder
with Ethan Allen! how he threatened
70 break into the magazine at New
Haven unless the selectmen would
hand over the keys within five minutes,
when his company heard the news Of
Lexington and wanted to set out for
Cambridge; and even how he used to
astonish the other boys, years before,
by Selling the great water-wheel and
going around with it through water
and through sky"

WildCats In London.

A Bedroom Reform.

Bedrooms have now been invaded
by the rampant reformer. says The
Lady. The orthodox fashion in making
up the beds SO as to gently slope
toward the feet, and having a good
sized pillow or two under the head, is
all wrong A prominent German doc
tor is responsible for this statement.
He asserts that after long series of
experiments he has proved conclusive
ly that to sleep in bed prepared in
the old fashioned way is simply to in
duce ailments of all kinds. He advo-
Gates a complete reversal of things.
You must sleep with your head lower
than your feet Two or three pillows
should be placed under the feet in Or
der to carry out this theory. The re-
suit, he claims, will be amazing, being
sure cure for insomnia, as well as
a preventive of nightmare. Sleep in
this position, it is asserted, will be
more profound, the entire nervous Sys-
tenn will be improved, and people in
clined to lung and kidney troub)s will
be specially benefited.

A young couple in Brooklyn have re.
Gently invested in fine old house on
the Heights and have remodeled 1t to
suit their own taste. Both of them
have taste of a good quality and the
money to make it effective, so the
house is model of attractiveness. One
thing which is particularly interesting
is the use to which they have put an
old-time niche which was in the curve
of the staircase. This was built in
houses, apparently. for statuary, but
fine old statuary or any other kind is
rare heirloom in this country, so one
must conclude that the eyesore on the
stairway had no utility. This one mas

curving door of stained glass in delici-
ously soft tints and of q design OBJ

Inside is an electric light which sheds
its modified rays on the stairs, and this
cupboard makes a place fer the tele-
phone. As this is near the top of the
stairs and the living room adjacent.

saae Advice from the Driver.

The Fifth avenue stage driver is
usually endowed with a strong sense
of humor. Whether the following
"bull' was intentional or not does not
appear:
An elderly woman entered the stage
at a downtown point and asked to be
let down at Forty-ninth street. That
point was duly reached and the driver
pulled up while the woman alighted.
To his surprise she shook her umbrei-
la at him and cried:
"And now l should like to know
what you mean by carrying me mile
past my stopping placer"
"But. lady, you asked to be let off at
Forty-ninth street"
well, meant Twenty-ninth street,
and even if didn't say so, you ought
to know where live as ride in your
old bus every week"
well, ma'am,' replied the driver,

SnnrtiVA Studenta.

The discipline committee of the Mis-
Souri, University faculty is securing
evidence against students of the en-
cheering department, charged with
putting an iron elephant or the IN ~
nacle above the dome of the academic
building. The feat accomplished by
the students was extraordinary. Ac-
cess to the interior of the pinnacle had
been barred by three massive iron
doors, fastened with padlocks, the
keys to which the proctor carried in
his pocket. Under cover of darkness
the students carried galvanized iron
elephant, weighing perhaps over a
thousand pounds. to the dome above
tie building, and after forcing the
iron doors, dragged their burden up
ward to the highest point of the pin
nacle, 200 feet above ground. The
next morning the elephant could be
seen for distance of five miles, and
farmers came to town to inquire about
Il. In removing the elephant gang

the damages or be eXpelled.-New

The Alibi Industry.

During the Dreyfus case the fact
was revealed that there existed, in
the Passage de lOpera, an agency
which, for a fixed fee, would have let
tiers posted in any European capital to
addresses in Paris. AS means of con-
stituting an alibi it was ingenious if
not very moral, remarks the London
Graphic. Erring French husbands
could prove their presence in London
or Berlin, while they were really max
ing excursions on French territory.
But, according to the Paris press, this
idea has been further improved upon.
An agency exists which will provide
the trunks of the pseudo traveller with
authentic labels of hotels and railway
companies, so that he can trimphantly
point to this proof of his peregrina-
lions. The agency is said to be en-
titled the "Societe des Voyages Immo-
biles," and to be provided with labels
of the most authentic descriptions.
imagine that the sceptical Italian
proverb, "Se non vero ben trova-
to-" will about suit the case. I need
not say that, according to our French
friends, the headquarters of this alibi
company is in London.

stipulate that their employers shall
know nothing about it. In the major
ity of cases this is out of the ques-
ton, although of course we do not tell
the borrower SO. But we have means
of finding out whether the applicants
are telling the truth about the salary
they want to borrow upon without go

''In fact, ii does not always pay us

mess, and drew check for the money
on the spot, to be gradually deducted
from his salary. Nothing in that for
me, was there? The non-borrowing
public knows little of our trade except
the occasional stories of extortionate
interest we charge on loans and the

Water With Meals.

Once more has the natural appetite
been vindicated. 1t has been custom
airy to decry the drinking of large
quantities of water at meals, the in
ference being that it interfered with
the digestive processes. To determine
the truth of the matter Russian in
dieting experiment. During one period
he confined his water drinking to in
tervals between meals, and during an
other period he drank the same guam
tity of water, but consumed it with
his food. The results of the expert
ments showed that the mixed diet
was somewhat more thoroughly digest
ed when the bulk of the water was
taken near meal times. While the ex-
periments were not extensive enough
to warrant an absolute deduction they
warrant the conclusion that reason
able amount of fluid taken at meal
times cannot have any bad effect"

Coming up from New Orleans to
New York on one of the fast freighters

the Astor house, 81 got on pretty good
terms with the first mate-which is
something of an achievement, by the
way, as the average seafaring man has
even a greater contempt for the land
lubber' than the cowboy has for the
tenderfoot. Perhaps 1t was because
he took me for a physician. One OF
the passengers had been amusing him
self by trying to guess the occupations
of the others through their casual re-
marks in the course of conversation,
and on the strength of something had
said the word was passed around that
was doctor of medicine.
"The mate had something on his
mind, and one day he took me into his
confidence. On our last trip to New
York. he said, there was chap from
Cincinnati in pretty bad way, with
booze. He began to see spiders and
things, and it made me sort of uneasy,
as there wasn't a doctor on board.
Pretty soon he got violent, and had
to do something. So l got the irons
on him, and gave him good big dose
of morphine to kind of soothe him, and
then locked him up in my own state
