what they find In almost every In.
stance IL gratifying to them. Once In
a great while a man who was educated
at the Academy is found implicated In
some dishonorable transaction, but fer
the most part 1t is the men who come
into the army under the increase of the
past few years, who are working under
charges leading up to courts martial.
1T is not strange, for during the
four years we are at the Academy al
an age when character is nodded, we
are taught that honor Is the most sa-
cred thing to soldier. Any boy who
will lie, or who will do any other dis
honorable act Is Stunned. In fact he
cannot remain. The corps of cadets
teach each other integrity, and it be-
comes so thoroughly ground into us
that It becomes part of our future
lives"

Inst = Hit Misty.

There had been half dozen stories
of thick fogs, but Captain Mansfield
had waited his turn with patience. 1t
came at last, and the other captains
turned their weather beaten faces to-
ward him with an expression of cheer
full credulity.
"'Twas told me of house setting
pretty nigh the shore along halfway
down the coast o. Maine" said Cap
tain Mansfield. Il could show you the
house if it came right. 1t has GU
rious lopsided portico on it, and one
day asked the man that lives there
why it happened to be built that queer
shape.
"'Well,' says he, the talk is that the
man who lived here first had cousin
that was an architect up Boston way,
and one time the Teller was down here
in a terrible foggy spell, and he was
figuring out TO his cousin how he could
build little portico of such and such
dimensions. measuring out into the
fog with his rule, and so on.
"'Twas in the late afternoons; he
went off next day by train. The fog
still held, and along in the morning
the man that lived here happened to
notice that the marks OF the rule out
into the fog were still plain, so as he
couldn't go a-fishing he took some lum-
Der and built the foundations of this
portico. That queer jog that makes
it lopsided is where the wind bore in
on the fog, they say, and bent the
rule marks in youths Companion.

Carmen sylvia, the royal authoresS

mia, in quite romantic way, As a
girl of seventeen she was running down
the staircase of the palace at Berlin
when her foot slipped ON the marble,
and she would have fallen to the floor
below, but at the moment Prince
Charles of Hohenzollern stepped from
an anteroom and caught her in his
arms. She did not accept him. although
he made her the offer at once. In joke
for 1t was then most unlikely-she
said she preferred to remain queen OF
herself, but IL she became queen of any
country at all she would prefer Rou-
mania. Eight years afterward the
beautiful Carmen was married to
Prince Charles, who had been proclaim
ed king of Roumania. and thus she re-
allied her ambition.

when Water Wa. Avoided.

Until comparatively recent times
there was a medical prejudice against
drinking water. Sir William Vaughan
In his Natural and Artificial Direc-
tons For Health" declared that water
sought seldom to be drunk" Another
doctor admitted that it might be
healthful for children, but not for men
Except some odd, abstemious one
among a thousand perchance, degen-
crate and Of doggish nature, for dogs
of nature do abhor wine." Indeed, the
recommendation of water as a bever-
age was supposed to be the sign of the
quack. Even Wesley In his primitive
Physic" wrote Of IL with caution:
"Drink only water II it agrees with
your stomach; If not. good, clear small
beer"

A wedding In Holland.

A Dutch wedding is curious con-
trast to an English one. In Holland
the wedding party enters the church
two and two, the procession being
headed by the bride and bridegroom.
Forms are arranged in semicircle
round the pulpit, and there the young
people with their friends and relatives
seat themselves. The ceremony con-
sists of the reading of portion OF
Scripture and long admonition to the
bride and bridegroom, delivered extern
pore by the black gowned minister.
The prayers are sat through like the
rest of the service, for it is against
Calvinstic custom TO kneel to pray
At the close of the service Bibles are
presented to the young couple and to
certain of their relatives Then the
marriage is registered. fhis free dis
tributlon of Bibles, which is made by
the state, accounts for the very small
sale there is for the Holy Scriptures
in Holland.

Nativity of the Potato.

There is as much mystery as history
connected with the common tuber call
ed the potato. Its nativity, original
place in the kingdom of nature and
several other things regarding 1t are
still open questions. AS to its nativity,
the weight of argument seems TO favor
the tropical or subtropical regions OF
America. There is a tradition that the
vines once grew to monstrous size and
that the balls were of the "bigness
of melons," and at that time the roots
were not tubers, the edible parts grow.

they were first introduced into Europe

says, "Wamkins first fetched queer,
Dubious root out of America which
some called a 'bodado,' while others,
who had heard the Peruvians mention
1t, spoke of 1t as potato" Pertains
Cyclopedia of Agriculture says that Sir
John Wamkins found 1t growing wild
near Santa Fe de Bogota at an alti-
tude of 5000 to 1900 feet. He also
says that it was fetched out of Amer

Nurem berg.

Nuremberg. whose walls are report
ed TO he showing signs of rapid decay,
was once almost the richest and most
famous town in Europe. The well
known saying of Pope Plus ll.-that
a Nuremberg citizen was better of
than a Scottish king-was justified by
the accounts that have been preserved
of the town and its burghers. In the
fifteenth century there came from
Nuremberg the first watches known as
Nuremberg eggs" the first cannon,
the first gun lock. the first wire draw
ing machine, the clarinet. certain de
scriptions of pottery and the art OF
painting on glass. For 800 years its
now decaying walls defended the, val
ley of the Pegnitz against all enemies.
Four hundred towers once topped the
walls, but only about third of them
now remain.

A PART OF THE PLAY.
Kissing That Brought Some Russian
Actors to n Prison Cell.


Actors to n Prison Cell.
The course of true art does not al
ways run smooth In Russia, as, for ex-
ample, in the theater of Yelizavetgrad.
In the fourth act of certain play there
Is theater within a theater, as in
Shakespeare's Hamlet" only that
some of the dramatis persona have to
mix with the public in the galleries
and to hiss the chief actress, who duly
faints. AS soon as the gentlemen had
taken their places among the gods and
begun to hiss and whistle the police
man on duty came down upon them
like wolf on the fold, and before they
could utter word of explanation he
and his colleagues "nabbed" two, re-
moved them by force and took them to
the next police station, where they
were charged with disorderly conduct
| at a public place. They protested that
they had only done their duty, but the
police laughed their explanations TO
scorn. sThe public left the theater en-
masse to see what was happening to the
actors, but the latter had already been
| consigned to the cells. The crowd in
the street before the station house grew
rapidly In numbers, and its noisy
protests threatened TO eliminate In Sc
rious disorders. Fortunately, the man.
ager of the theater appeared before the
superintendent and by the light of a
lamp detained, with manuscript in
hand, the whole fourth act, in order to
show that kissing was an essential part
Of the performance. Only then did the
representatives Of the law release the

A LIGHT HEART.
Said to he Oftener Linked With
Drawn Than with brain.


Is it possible TO cultivate light
heart? Probably not, but all sorts Of
shifts have been practiced at all times
to retain one There have always been
men like Thorcau and st. Francis who
believed that property Bought with 1t
heavy heart and who have refused,
as did the American philosopher, to be
"harnessed to his possessions" st.
Francis "cast aside every weight" that
he might free himself from idle. sor-
row" He and his first disciples ''loved
nothing earthly and feared nothing
earthly. They were secure in all places,
troubled by no fears, distracted by no
cares; they lived without trouble of
mind waiting without solicitude for
the coming day" ST. Francis in the
Businesses of the Italian hills singing
French hymns among the highway rob
bers in his whimsical lightness of heart
makes strange picture. He knew
French badly, but ii seemed to him the
language of gayety. The founder of
the Franciscans, though we are told
that he possessed what was quantity
called the gift of tears when perform
| ing his devotions in his cell, was never
seen abroad without a smile; neither
would he tolerate any appearance of
heaviness in his followers. He rebuked
a brother to whom a detected manner
had become habtual, saying, My
brother, repent thy sins in private, and
do not appear before the community
| thus downcast."
We are inclined TO think that those
who make their living provided 1t is
| a-fairly good one-in the sweat of their
| brow have lighter hearts than those
| who make it in the sweat of their
brain. The high spirits which seem to
| be enjoyed by domestic servants, to
| judge by the sounds which come up
stairs, are case in point. busting,
scrubbing and plate cleaning seem to
| weigh on the heart far less than doc
toring, journalism or the study of law
| or theology. Too often spirits are
broken by overwork or by disappoint-
ment in the wild struggle to succeed
which goes on among professional peo-
| pie. Certainly in the literary world
| light hearts are generally lost early,
| yet the light hearted man of letters,
| though he is rare, is the most attractive
| of all light hearted men. He knows
how to express the music that is in his
mind and is like composer who is
also an executant.-London Spectator.
