A Fail and n Lesson.

An English gentleman travelling
some Years ago in Ireland took ham,
mer and tacks along With him because
he found dogs cared carpets ut all the
inns where he rested. At one of these
inns he tackled down the carpet, which,
as usual. was loose near the door, and
soon afterward rang the bell for his
dinner While the carpet was loose
the door could not be opened without
q hard push. so when the waiter came
up he just unlatched the door; then,
going back couple of yards, he rush
ed against it. us his habit was, with
a sudden spring to force it open. But
the wrinkles of the carpet were no
longer there to stop it, and. not meet
ing with the expected resistance, the
waiter fell fill length into the room.
1t had never entered his head that so
much trouble might be saved by means
of hammer and dozen or even half
a dozen tacks until his fall taught him
that makeshift is very improbable
sort of shift.

A Costly Jest.

1t was a Jest pure and simple that
brought about the war between Eng
land and France in 1887 and ultimately
cost the great William his life. Will
liam. of course, was great" in more
senses than one. So stout was he in
fact by reason of his idle and luxurious
life that he could not walk from place
to place. but had to be carried. One
day his contemporary Philip of
France, delicately remarked at dinner
that William was like a fillet Of beef
on casters and ought to be exhibited at
Il prize monarch show" Naturally Will
liam heard of this and in furious
rage ordered his troops to invade at
once. This was done, and war com
menced which ended in the English
king being thrown from his horse and
killed While experimenting the siege
of Nantes

The Backbone of America.

In an editorial of one of the great
New York dailies short time ago, the
question of appropriations for army
and navy improvements was exhaust
lively dealt with. In the course of it's
preamble, the term 'backb bone of Amer
ica' was applied to these great forces
for the country's protection and pres.
tige.
Curiously enough the j J.Stevens Arms
and Tool company, of Chicopee Falls,
Mass. manufacturers of the famous
Stevens rifles and shotguns) have taken
issue as to the truth of this application.
They maintain that the army and navy
are more the outgrowth of ''the back
bone of the country" rather than the
backbone itself that we must go lit
tie further back: back to Americas s
youngest sons-the strong, manly out
door boys who have been taught the
use of rifles and shotguns in the open
country and on the farm.
This expression of opinion is quite
in line with the educational movement
inaugurated some years ago by these
people and since carried on by them
throughout the country. II must be
admitted by every reasoning person
that the arguments advanced are sound
to the effect that the ownership of a
gun develops boys manly qualities,
gives him clear eye, a steady hand,
cool nerve and Judgment.
The j. Stevens Arms and Tool com
pany, we understand, have recently
compiled an elaborate l4O page book
containing much interesting informa.
tion relative to this fascinating out
door snort which thav will send frna
