DR.. Richard Calling. who died Feb. 20
in New York, wrote that opinion to q

Of troops. He was once clerk In q
st. Louis store. Witnessing the suf-
ferings of wounded soldiers coming
from the front during the civil war led
him to wonder II a remedy could not
be found for the great world evil.
When he took up the construction Of
his machine gun in 1864 his life was
threatened by people who considered
him a public menace" and a whole
sale murderer Gen. Butler used two
of the first Calling guns in the famous
James river expedition. Abroad the
invention was taken up at once and
many similar mechanisms sprang from
his idea.-Collier's Weekly.

COMING OF THE ST. BERNARD.
How the Breed Of Noble Dogs Was
Discovered to Americans.

Forty years ago the st. Bernard dog
was hardly more than myth to most
Americans. In Sunday school litera-
ture he figured occasionally, to the Joy
Of dog-loving children, but the real
live hero Of Alpine fame they would
not have recognized had they seen
him.
Comparatively few of our country
men visited Europe in those days. Our
leisure class was limited and a jour
ney abroad meant as long a stay as
possible In the great cities, among the
treasures Of art. st. Demands were
rare upon the great highways Of travel.
Their work was on the bleak noun.

from the fury of the elements, and far
away from the beaten track Of foreign

Travellers who crossed into Italy by

tempted into buying them, but the
risks of transportation were great and
very few crossed the Atlantic. Prior

Soon after the era Of dog shows

to the wonderful beauty, extraordinary
size and charming character of this

ENGLISH QUEEN IN ASIA.
Daughter Of a Private Soldier Married
Jar Mahommed Rao.

There is living at Orenburg. in
southeast Russia, a certain Maharanee
Jar Mahommed Rao, who began life as
plain Miss Alice Clifton.
Born in Delhi during the old pre-
mutiny days, her father was private
soldier in the East India company's
army Her mother, though uneducat'
ed, was noted for her good humor, and
good looks.
Alice when barely IA years old at
tracted the attention of the Mahara'
jah Jar Mahommed Rao, ruler OF a
small Central Asiatic Khanate, who
happened to be visiting friends in the
old Mogul capital.
BY him she was espoused, and on
her husbands death some ten OF
twelve years later, she became abso-
lutte and autocratic ruler of his king
DOM" Nor did she make by any means
a bad queen" If report is to be be
lieved.
De Courcy, who visited her capital
in 1868, described her as dignihed
shrewd and thoroughly capable. And
on one occasion, at all events, she
fought and defeated the chief of G.
neighboring Khanate, showing she was
not deficient in personal courage.
She could not, however, of course,
stand against the ever-encroaching
power Of Russia, and In 1873 she was
compelled to surrender Kingdom" and
crown" into the hands of Gen. Tsch
andyr. the conqueror of Khiva.
BY him she was treated with every
courtesy and consideration; and later
on the car granted her a perpetual
pension, together with the lease for
life of the handsome house in Oren
burg she now inhabits.-Stray

Story Told Of Whistler and an Eng.

reminds me Of a story about Whistler.
Not very appropriate, not a very
poetical story. perhaps, but here 1t
Is, anyhow:
whistler one summer set out with
three or four young men on a walk
through the country Of the English
Downs. The weather was fine and the
walking good; the tourists had a
pleasant time.
"They stopped at an alehouse on a
warm afternoon. and being all heated
with the sun they called for beer
thirstily. Tankards were set before
them, and they drank. Then Whistler
said to the host:
MY man, would YOU like to know
how to sell great deal more beer
than you do?"
"'Aye. sir, | would that, said the
keeper of the house.
Then don't sell so much froth,
said Mr.. Whistler"

Idea of a Genlua-

Economy of production was one Of
the subjects touched on by Prof. II. w.
Wiley in an after dinner speech last
week before the New York Society of
Medical Jurisprudence. Referring to
new methods that are being brought
into operation and their practicability
he said:
Il simply wish to mention, without
exactly recommending 1t, this sugges.
ton from an agricultural source. It
comes from man who proposes to
plant onions with his potatoes, with
the idea that the tear-makng qualities
of his onions may act on the eyes OF
the potatoes, and make the latter crop
selfirrigating.-New York Times.

DID GOOD SAMARITAN ACT.
But the Boys Employer Took Some OF
the Credit to Himself.

He walked along with lordly strut,
head In air and shoulders well back.
At Liberty street and Broadway he
saw a boy searching for something in
the snow. The youngster, about 10,
was crying as II his heart would break.

asked kindly.
my boss gave me 81 to buy some
benzine, and I've lost it. Boo-hoo-
hoo"
well, now, don't be baby. Tell
me all about It," The child told him.
Now, take me to your boss" said
he of the lordly strut.
Very unwillingly the boy led him to
an Office on the fifth floor, where sat a
fierce-looking man.
81 beg your pardon, sir, for this in
trusion, but I've called on a personal
matter that concerns US BOTH" said
the stranger. This is your office
boy"
YES"
And did you give him 81 to buy
some benzine?"
yes"
"You arc sure he had the money!"
Certainly"
well, he lost 1t. | simply wanted to
make sure he had 1t. I'm going to
make 1t good, SO that you will not take
1t out of his wages or punish him.
Here. boy, take this dollar and run
along and buy the benzine."
"Ill see that you don't make II
good" cried the employer, taking out
roll of bills as big as a mans leg and
peeling off dollar. Here you are
Charlie. Don't worry. Be a little
more careful next time"
"The boy won't be punished?"
NO"
Good morning"
Good morning." And the lordly
strut was continued up Broadway

Any married man who has moved

Do you recall how you wanted to
hang that copy Of the Battle Of Mara

the front parlor? Your wife insisted
on It being suspended at an opposite
angle to the shafts OF Old Sol, and
directly in the vortex Of reflection
from a French mirror, In whose
liquid depths might be seen the soft
colorings of group OF Simmond's
graces disporting at the springs.
Can you chase your memory back
to your daughters blushing confusion
over the prominent wall space you
chose for the bevy of Venetian
naiads? And are you not reminded
with vividness of the shocked and
panied face of Deacon Strawberry's

the suspending Of an alleged Raphael
madonna in full glare of the library
window?
And do you not-but why continue?
At last you got down off your step.

Eth?
Well, think of Roosevelt! There
were about you during this ordeal
only those who loved you, or who
felt an interest in your happy home.
About Roosevelt, as he stands on the
ladder with his arms full of pictures,
are thousands of critics. liberals, con-
tractionists, old maids and grabbed
bachelors, women who have declared
repeatedly: THE lips that touch
liquor shall never touch mine!" and
who have never been deceived; men
whose ideas of art are as warped as
a Eastwood slab in August sunshine,
crafty individuals, with political in
surrections TO kindle, conniying ca

Seemed Rather Too Familiar.

He drew her towards him, and after
few brief moments OF kisses and
raptures of various kinds he asked:
What kind of an engagement ring
would you prefer?"
She looked shyly into his face and
declined to express a preference until
she had been further pressed. Then
she said:

prevent a dreadful faux pas or some
other frightful French thing. How.

Juliet wouldn't permit Romeo to
swear by the changeful moon. Pre-
sumably she feared 1t was made of
green cheese or smearcase! In
some countries an oath Is taken upon
the sword. Americans solemnly
swear by the Holy Bible. When in a
young and nebulous state we were
prone to swear by Honest Injun,"
Across our heart" or Hope to diet"
In historic days, however, there was
even less of uniformity, and some
sworn were original. We recall an
incident in the history Of Normandy.
The English and the Normans were
busily engaged at this time making
epochs for high school Biographies.
The reporters and the historians
were working day and night and
having their coffee brought to them.
In moment Of distraction the Saxon
King Harold permitted William of
Normandy to get him hors du COM
bat. While the horse was on Harold,
Bill had all the old bones and relies
of the Norman monasteries collected
and placed in a chest. This chest of
queer antiquities and ghost.remnants
was deposited in the council cham
Der and covered with glad robe Of
gold. Then while Willie held an ak
carelessly. the quaking Harold was
told to get down on his marrow bones
and swear as he had never sworn be-
fore. Keeping his eye on the AK, and
mentally measuring its keenness,
Harold swore to help put the lid Of
England on the crown of Williams
head. AS the AK came nearer he
threw prudence to the zephyrs and
swore to marry Bits daughter,
Adela, and sent to his own sister to
be offered in the holy bonds of mat
rimony with one of the Normandy
barons.
When he had exhausted his pro.
gram of promises he was asked to
stand near the golden cloth. When
the lid Of the chest was raised and
Harold's eyes fell upon the sacred
relics of Normandy's honored dead,
the sanctity of his oaths cut a deep
SWhth III IL was not
until year afterward that he had
the heart to break them.
In Plutarch's Publicola Is told the
story of horrible oath taken by
youths engaged to murder the Roman
consuls. Each drank the blood and
tasted the entrails of man sacri-
feed for the purpose.
The elegance of this will not appeal
to those of us who have been i'm.
pressed by that beautiful and senti-
mental oath found in the ballad "Oh,
promise mel"
AS a boy We understood the most
exacting oath to be that one which
was writ in blud!" and many time
have we gone so far as to prick our
finger with pin to secure the neces-
sary equivalent!
But those were the good old days
of yesteryear, several times, and to.
day the most solemn oath we make
Is to our wife. We swear in all SOL
emnity not to be out later than / a. m,
and. strange to say, this oath Is
gilt'edged Experience has taught
us to keep 1t carefully gilded!
