He Met His Match.

The Russian marshal Suvaroff was
famous as jester and was fond of
confusing the men under his command
by asking them unexpected and all
surd questions. But occasionally he
met his match. Thus, one bitter Janu-
airy night such as Russia only can pro
duce. he rode up to a sentry and de-
manded:
How many stars are there in the
sky?''
The soldier not whit disturbed, an
swered coolly:
"Wait little, and I'll tell you" And
he deliberately commenced counting
Zone, two, three" etc.
When he had reached 100 Suvaroff,
who was half frozen, thought it high
time to ride off, not, however, without
inquiring the name Of the ready reck-
oner. Next day the latter found him
self promoted.

severity is that of marrying Il girl

lag somewhat in her flight, so that he
may Overtake her. If she desires to

A Nickname For Barrett.

Lawrence Barrett, the tragedian, was
subject to dyspepsia, and when he was
suffering from that disorder he was
cold and distant toward his company.
One irreverent fellow always refused
however, to be suppressed. He said one
day: Just look at Cassius. He looks
as solemn and righteous as if he'd swal-
lowed the sword of justice. Let's call
him the Scabbard.' And the Scabbard
he was-out Of his Harrington the rest

The few old eX-slaves now left in the
West Indies have many curious GUS
toms, but the most curious is that Of
burying themselves on the installment
plan. When they comb their. hair they
are careful not to pull more hairs from
the head than they can help. Those
which come away they roll into ball
and put into a bag of white muslin.
They do the same with the parings of
their nails and any other portions of
their anatomy which become detached.
When the bag is full they bury it. If
asked why they do this they reply:
When me dead, massa, you bury me
body Me hair am part Of me body. SO
me bury it now when it dead"

Understood His Art.

Baron Won Steuben was the drillmas-
ter of the Continental army at Valley
Forge. At first the men in the ranks
did not know the manual exercise;
many Of the officers knew little or moth
ing of maneuvering. One of the latter
turned out for inspection in a dressing
gown. "Himmel und erde.' cried the
baron. "What kind of creature is'this?"
Baron Won Steuben was choleric and
profane, but he understood his art He
swore at the ragged Continentals in
both German and French, but he taught
them the value of drill and discipline
When he had exhausted all the French
and German oaths he knew he would
roar to his aid, Come here, Herr Haupt-
mann, and help me curse these block
heads But he turned the undisci-
plined militia into we'll drilled troops

young men and a two weeks session
in 1881, there are now 800 every year
and the training goes forward not only
at Lake Geneva in summer, but in
Chicago all the balance Of the year.
SO important is this work that already
considerable proportion of. Y. NJ. c.
A. workers have been trained in this
school.
1t is noteworthy that formerly there
was an idea that schooling initiated
against the spiritual life. The notion
was that education promoted worldli-

religious workers, are trained to their
labOrS. as machinists or dentists, are
trained.
