Laconic Men.

Won Moltke, Germany's great sol
der, was most laconic His init
mates knew almost to a word in
what language the toasts allotted to
him would be proposed. The health
of his royal master would be sub
mitted in four words or twice as
many, because, as he reasoned, his
hearers knew as much about the
sovereign as he did. There was once
a bet over a toast which he was to
propose. The man who made it wa
gered that Won Moltke would dis
charge his task in eight words or,
at the outside, nine. He lost The
old soldier tackled on the word "gen-
tlemen" at the end of his sentence,
and that made ten.
Lord Dalhousie was another la
comic man. His note to his secre-
tary sent one midnight out in India

and have your breeches on, come
here; if not, come without them"

Hooks Fishy Compliment.

It was Theodore Hooks good OF
evil fortune to find himself one
night at a musical party" says a
biographer. In the course of the
evenings entertainment a young
lady attacked very difficult song,
which she gave with exaggerated ex-
preston and a great many blunders.
Next to Hook sat an elderly lady, as
decided an amateur in criticism as
the songstress was in singing, over
flowing with gushing ignorance and
sparkling superlatives.
ooh, Mr.. Hook" she murmured,
'don't you adore singing? It's SO
full of soul!''
"Well, madam" replied the ia
nous English humorist, "for my
part I think there is more of the
founder than the sole abo.t i"

Ancient Laws and Lawmakers.

In ancient days nobody but a
lord was deemed worthy to establish
rules of conduct for the people, and
very crude rules they were too. The
Greeks at the time of the Trojan
war, the Jews, the Irish and the
Anglo-Saxons placed money value
on every crime which man commit
ted. Thus it cost about $4,000 Of
our money to murder a king and
only $4,000 to kill a priest. If the
fine was not paid then the friends
of the king or the priest could fall
on the murderer and kill him. If
one man scratched another's face
he had to pay for it. Such were the
laws Of the lords, but as civilization
advanced and the common people
got seats in legislative assemblies
criminal jurisprudence took on dig
nifty and wisdom.

The girls of the farm take care OF
the cows, sheep and goats, leading
them to the pastures early IN the
morning, guiding them by voice or
horn to spots where the grass grows
richest. At her girdle she carries a
bag of salt, which she dlspense,s
among the herd, every one OF when

The cattle girl is industrious, and
as she leads her flock she knits at q

For luncheon she eats q slice OF

THE WORD "NlTsHERo."
Does More Service Than Any Other In
the Russian Language.

Does More Service Than Any Other In
the Russian Language.
/ The one word that does more
service than any other in the Rus
sian language, says writer in the
Contemporary Review, is nitshero.
1t means nothing" or, rather, cit
is nothing" Most often it is heard
IS deprecatory rejoinder to an ex-
preston of thanks, like the English
'SDon't mention it." But there
seems to be no situation in Slavic
life that does not resolve itself into
nitshero.
A Russian diplomatist once said
that when Bismarck served as Prus-
sian ambassador in St. Petersburg
he wore an iron ring with nitshero
engraved on it. Somebody asked
him what the word signifed to him.
Count Bismarck replied, "All Rus
sia." Asked to explain himself, he
told this story:
One time when he was driving to
a bear hunt over a mountainous
trail the muzhik who held the reins
drove so wildly that he came near
dashing the sleigh to pieces. SLook
out there" said Count Bismarck,
cor you will kill us!'' The muzhik
only shrugged his shoulders and
said, ESNitshero. His driving be-
came more furious than ever.
eff you don't take more care
shouted Bismarck, clinging fast for
dear life, 81 shall be tossed out of
the Sleigh
''Nitshero," responded the driver.
Presently one of the runners
struck a rock, the sleigh upset, and
the horses, shying, backed the over
turned sleigh into a deep ditch,
where it broke through the ice.
Count Bismarck rose from the
wreck, his face bleeding from
bruises. In his wrath he turned on
the muzhik and threatened to thrash
him. But as he advanced on the
culprit with uplifted whipstock the
man met him with an apologize
smile and, wiping the blood from
Bismarck's forehead, said soothing
ly, "Nitshero, BARN"
Count Bismarck burst out laugh
ing. He considered the incident so
characteristic of the Russian charac-
ter that he had the ring made from
some of the wreckage of the sleigh
and henceforth adopted the word
Snitshero" for his talisman while in
Russia.

A Bow on Babies.

Here is an essay on babies by an
English board schoolboy: Babies
are little red things without bones
nor teeth. They have various sises,
but just after they are horned they
are called bypeds. Their bones are
grisle. They are two sects, male
and female, and are also very fat.
When very young they do not have
much hair. They are always asleep
only when crying. Women and girls
go silly over babys and kiss them all
over and say silly things. That's
why girls have dolls when they
haven't any little brothers. Every
body as to be a baby first. That's
all I know about babys."

It's Own Haunt.. :"
One summer morning whom
was in the Adirondaeks.S w rites ! !
correspondent, Il rose early 1 t. % :
bass fishing. cary y 60
THE day before we had conoht
snree bass and three sunfsh. which
We put in a little pond out on the
edge Of the point in order to kee .s
'nem fresh until needed. As 7 was
preparing my rod my attention was
attracted = to a splashing noise in the
direction of my pond Of fish
sSuspecting that something nm
usual was taking place, I approach
e ed the spot cautiously and saw the
long, brown body of mink gliding
away with one Of my fish in his IS
mouth. 80
i was greatly interested in the
sight OF live mink operating in his
own haunts and decided that I
would rather see him work than
eat the fish myself. While he was
concealing the fish in some nearby
but unseen nook l walked still
closer, until | was within twenty
feet OF my pond, where I remained
motlonless, awaiting developments.
In a moment the energetic little
animal reappeared at the pond, gave
quick dive into the water, like a
seal, and came up with another fish.
CHANGING about him with his little.
black, beady eyes, he hurried off
without even noticing my presence.
L stood motionless and fascinat-
ed and watched him transport every
one Of my fish to his secret store
house. After all my fish were safe
ly slowed away the little worker
trlpped in nervous haste back to-
ward the woods to tell his family Of
the find and invite them all down
to dinner.
"Late in the afternoon of that
same day this successful little fisher
man led a colony of four other
minks out of the woods and down
to Rocky point. The dinner party
had to pass close to our hotel in or
der to reach the point where the
fish were stored. To do so unobserv-
ed they must travel under long
board walk. In doing this one little
innocent mink, not knowing the
ways of man, came up through a
hole in the walk. A city boy saw
him, and before we could stop him
he seized a club and battered him to
death.
"While this tragedy was being en-
acted all the other minks under the
board walk set up chattering wal,
which sounded like a dozen rats
caught in a trap. An Adirondack
guide and old trapper who happen
ed near called to us to stand by and
watch the survivors carry off their
dead. After we had scolded severely
the murderer of the little mink we
did as the guide suggested.
ssIn a few minutes out popped
three little brown heads from vari-
Gus points near their dead, and then
one brave little fellow ran out and,
Selling the dead mink in his mouth,
carried him back under the walk.
sGThe little dead mink doubtless
| had a decent burial, with all the
pomp and ceremony known to these
intelligent little creatures OF the
great woods. It was my intention to
try to make pets Of the minks which
/ had seen from time to time around
the shores of our premises, but the
slaughter of one Of their number
resulted in driving all Of them away
during the remainder OF the sea-
son."-Youth's Companion.
