Effect of Army Routine.

Visitors to army headquarters on
Governors Island often notice that Of
ficers have a habit of referring to the
written OR printed record for the most
tri1ing questions of fact. They never
rely upon memory for even unimpor-
tant matters of routine which civilians
would no more think Of forgetting than
hardened commuter would think of
forgetting the time of his morning
train to the city. Ask an officer in
the adjutant generals or quartermas-
ter's department, for instance, where
the First Battalion of the Sixteenth In
fantry is and he will consult his rec
ords before answering, even when a
letter to the commanding officer of the
battalion is lying addressed on his
desk.
The other day a visitor to the island
asked an officer high in command what
time the parade of troops took place
next morning. The man in khaki look
ed at his printed copy of the general
orders before answering: Ten
o'clock" Yet the parade had been 60
ing on every day for mc1tns right un-
der his Office windows.
1T is a habit that grows upon us
with the routine of garrison work." he
said. IF 1 tried to remember where
one company in the department of the
east is quartered l might as we'll try
to remember them all. If carried in
my memory the time for parade
might as well try to learn the general
orders by heart. Experience teaches
army men never to burden their memo
ries with facts and figures that they
know they can find on the instant by
turning to the record. York

Child Kings Amnsements.

An extraordinary piece Of mechan-
ism was constructed for the amuse-
ments Of Louis XIV. of France when a
child. 1t consisted of a small coach
drawn by two horses, in which was
the figure of lady, with a footman
and page behind. According to the ac-
count given by M. Camus, the con-
structor, this coach being placed at the
extremity Of a table of determinate
size, the coachman smacked his whip,
and the horses Immediately set out,
moving their legs in natural manner.
When the carriage reached the edge of
the table it turned on right angle,
and proceeded along that edge till it
arrived opposite to the place where the
king was seated. 1t then stopped, and
the page, getting down, opened the
door, upon which the lady alighted,

Size of the British Empire.

The British Empire occupies about
one-f1fth of the surface of the habit
able globe, and consists Of the United
Kingdom, with its attendant islands,
and about forty-three dependencies
under separate and independent gov
ernments, varying in size from Can
ada, which is thirty times the size Of
the United Kingdom, to Gibraltar, the
area Of which is two square miles,
Thus the area Of the British Empire
is ninety-eight times that of the Uni
ted Kingdom, while the area of the
self-governing colonies alone is nearly
sixty times as large as that of the
mother country.

having in her hand petition, which
she presented with a curtsey. After
waiting some time she again curtsied,
and re-entered the carriage; the page
then resumed his place, the coachman
whipped up his horses, which began
to move, and the footman, running af
ter the carriage, jumped up behind it.

CHAPTER XVII.
" Where Is Sankala 2"

"Hello, lookout!''
"Hello, captain!"
"How does it look to the southwest?''
"Black and foreboding, captain"
"I feared so. Watch close the river
and bay. They are covered with those
fool fishermen tonight. The light of
morning will find plenty of work for us
to do.
Thus spoke the captain of the life
saving station to the man on the look
out.
Night had already closed in and the
captain of the life saving station knew
station b low the rocks and could not
see out on the ocean ut had called to
the man stationed on the hill to verify
the evidence of the sto,m. The instru-
mants at the station indicated a storm,
but the rising, surging, slashing, crack
ing breakers ON the rocks gave more
formidable warning to the experienced
life saver.
1t is the same old story at the mouth
of the Columbia. From fail until
spring, throughout the long winter
ing fury. Three days of storm and one
of dim sunshine is liberal statement
in favor of the king of day. At this
point Neptune rules unchallenged
through the winter, but when summer
comes he is superseded by old Sol, who
w:elds his sceptle with more charita-
BILE hand and makes this little stretch
of coast the most attractive spot IN the
great Pacific Northwest. Thousands of
pleasure seekers visit this coast each
summer to view the grandeurs and
beauties of nature, but flee before ad-
vancing winter, when gloom and dark
ness settle over the place like the pail
Of death.
Men inuled to hardships and disast-
ers learn to scorn them. 1t is this class
that suffers most from them. They be-
come emboldened to stand in the teeth
of death, yea, even to enter its jaws,
while the more timid fly for safety, and
escape its fangs. Day after day the
courageous 60 down, while the towards
live to tell of the chIvalrous deeds of
the brave.

him found that his mules had uncover
ed deposit of tripoli or rotten stone
that was worth about IS a ton The
deposit on Harbaugh's farm was some
three feet thick, and turned out to
be one Of the largest and best in the
country.
Il don't think that Harbaugh's tri-
poll mine made him a rich man, but
the incident proves that mule is worth
while in more ways than one, and that
he isn't the worthless cuss so many
newspaper humorists try to make him
out to be. Me for the mule every

The bridegroom Of q newly married
pair journeying to the city by train,
one day recently, was a railroad man.
Congratulations were wh1stled to him
from every locomotive passed in the
fifty mile run. Those on the sidings
made the most din, but the engineers
on the trains in motion were also post
ed, and whistled as they sped by.

ly welded pair a send-off by pouring
gers in the car what to expect. Every
one seemed to enjoy the footing from
the locomotives more than the blush

BOY A stGHTLEss WONDER.

Stephen Mellinger, of Denver, Pa,
does things remarkable in one who
moves, as he does, in continual dark
ness. When Mellinger, now 1S years
Of age, was 2 years old he blinded
himself incurably with a hatchet. He
has so adapted himself to his condi-
ton that he acts virtually as if in the
possession Of his eyesight. His mis-
fortune has not been allowed to inter-
fere in the least with his usefulness.
His senses of touch and hearing are
very keen. He works in the field. He
sows, uses the rake and spade, helps
harvest the crops, milks, climbs trees
and, what is still more remarkable,
drives spirited horses and rides a BIZ
cycle. -.ea.
The boy Is as bright and cheerful as
any Of his associates. He is able to
harness a horse unaided and to drive
several miles to the village where the
household supplies are obtained. Every
morning 1t is his duty to hitch a horse
to milk wagon and drive a mile to
Denver village. In this drive he is
compelled to cross railroad tracks at
two points. Spirited horses are his de-
light and two belonging to his father
which are too wild for the average
man to handle with safety are used
by him without thought Of danger
1t is unwise for other persons than he
to approach these animals
The young man does not work, ride
or walk in hesitating manner, after
the usual fashion Of the blind He
takes fast horse out on the road and
gallops at full speed, turning out for
vehicles and other horses and rounding
sharp corners without pulling up. On
his wheel he rides as If possessed of

Hymn for a Child.

Hymn for Child.
God gave me little light
TO carry as I go;
Rade me keep it clear and bright
Shining high and low.
Bear it steadfast, without fear,
Shed its radiance far and near
Make the path before me clear
With its friendly glow.
God gave me little song
To sing upon my way;
Rough may be the road and long,
Dark may be the day;
Yet little bird can wing,
Yet little flower can spring,
Yet little child can sing,
Make the world gay.
God gave me a little heart,
To love whate'er he made;
Gave me strength to bear my part,
Glad and unafraid.
Through thy world so fair, so bright,
Father, guide my steps Alright!
Thou my song and thou my light!
So my trust is stayed.

Animal Showed Where There Was a
Deposit of Rotten Stone.
MARK me down on the side of the
mule,' said Frederick NJ. Ware, of the
American Horse Exchange the other
day when lot of horsemen were dis
cussing the remarks of Colonel Jen-
kins, of the Nebraska national guard
to the effect that the mule never kick
ed anybody and that all the stories of
the peversities of his heels were fic-
ton, says the New York Times.
"When I was out in Kentucky and
Indiana looking up some horses 1 ran
across an acquaintance in the parlor
car who was something or other in the
hardware line, believe. At all events
he knew all about things you polish
with-like emery and tripoli and cor
undum, and those things. Well, he had
yarn that he swore was true one
and that scored one for the mule.
whose friend 1 have always been. He
vouches for the story. 1 don't; but l
do vouch for him. He knew a man
named Blatchley, who used to be the
State geologist of Indiana, and got the
story from him. 1t runs this way:
"In Jackson County in that State
was a farmer named Harbaugh who
owned a pair of mules that were good
enough to be used as a carriage pair.
He used them that way, at all events.
Harbaugh lived at place called Free
town and one day he drove over to the
pasture and fastened his team Of mules
to a tree near little stream they call
ed Salt Creek.
while Farmer Harbaugh was away
looking after his men the flies attacked
his mules, and in their frantic efforts
to drive the pests away they paved
the earth up so terrifcally that he
found them covered with fine dust,
while all around them were little piles
of this blush powder as fine as -four.
Harbaugh didn't know what the dust
was. but he knew it was out of the
ordinary, for there was gritty feeling
to it, and he thought he had found a
new kind Of polishing material that
might have some value. At all events,
he scooped up lot of it, sent it up to
Blatchley at Indianapolis for examina-

CHAPTER XVI-Continued,

The island was soon reached and
the man taken ashore. The morning
was crisp and cold and fire of drift
wood was kindled for the comfort of
the wounded man and his companions.
AS the day Jagged away the man grew
worse. Dan was his most attentive
nurse. In the afternoon he persuaded
his companions that it would be better
TO take the wounded man to his home.
They agreed upon this but they did
not know what to do with their pris-
oneT. On the southside they could not
hold him, and if they left him on the
island he might be compelled to re-
main for several days without assist
ance. They wanted him to accompany
them to thier homes, but Dan had mat
ters of more importance demanding his
attention on the north side. He told
them to leave him on the island and he
would take his chances on reaching
shore.
The fishermen pulled out with THEN
wounded companion, reluctantly leav-
ing Dan behind.
Throughout the day Lapham walked
up and down the island viewing his
friends and enemies as they lay on
their oars in threatening attitudes.
He managed, however, to keep con-
cealed behind the driftwood from his
enemies, while he was too far away to
be distinguished by his friends.
He had searched the island from one
end to the other for boat, but the
southsiders had intended making this
sort of prison had they carried out their
original plans and had removed every
semblance of craft flom the place.
Besides the island had always been
a sort of neutral ground and since the
quarrel had begun, neither side at
tempted to occupy it and all fishing ap-
paratus and supplies had been taken
away by the respective owners.
AS night came on, Dan became more
anxious to reach the north shore. He
wondered how many of his friends had
fallen under the fire of the southsiders,
and wondered more how Sankala was
faring.
Old Seadog was too much absorbed in
the trouble at hand to carry out his
plan of taking Sankala and Ringwold
to the county poor farm, but he knew
bllO SIIi Ndo WoityiAS hci youhS i'ie
away over the outlook for the future
and possibly by this time, SO far as he
knew, she was grieving by the bedside
of the deceased Ringwold.
The impatientyoung fisherman could
remain an exile no longer. He con-
strncted raft from planks and timbers
which had lodged on the shores of the
island and with pieces of planks used
as po.es and paddles he started for the
main shore.
Before his work had been completed,
however. night had long since fallen
over the waters and storm was brew
ing.
The came sound from the clash of
the wave and current on the bar greet
ed his ears at that moment that made
the frail Sankala tremble with fear as
she left the north shore to search for
him that she might give him the food
she had prepared for him and of which
she thought he must by this time be in
such dire need.
