While the mutinous sepoys were at
lacking General Wheeler's intrench-
ments at Cawnpur a shot from their
batteries blew up the contents Of
two wheeled cart loaded With car
tridges. 1t also set fire to the wood
work of the cart. which was standing
in the place where the English ammu-
milton was stored. Both the mutineers
and the English saw that if the fire
was not extinguished there would soon
be a most disastrous explosion. The
sepoy batteries therefore poured in
deadly stream of round shot to prevent
the English from putting out the flames.
A young lieutenant, Delaforse, unmov-
ed by the concentrated fire of shot,
threw himself under the blazing car
rage, tore away the burning wood
with his hands and, throwing earth up
on the blazing brands, stiied the fire
before it could spread to the ammuni-
ton. How he escaped the rain Of bull
let's is incomprehensible.

Women md Mirrors.

German statlsticians with no great
burden of serious work on their Shout
ders have been calculating what part
of a woman's life is spent in looking
at herself in mirror She begins, as
a rule, at six years. From six to ten
she has Il daily average of seven min
utes. From ten to fifteen she devotes
a quarter of an hour to her glass. At
twenty she certainly spends thirty
minutes daily admiring herself and
when past twenty a whole hour. The
statisticians are tactful enough not to
say when woman begins to take less
interest in her personal appearance,
but women more than sixty years old
do not, they say, spend more than ten
minutes daily at their mirrors. All
this time reckoned up-it is a simple
sum in ultiplication-makes 1000
hours, or about ten months, at the mir
ror They then proceed to compare
the time which mana German man
-devotes to this occupation and come
to the conclusion that his average is
seven months.

Wooden Toothpicks.

"Stop chewing toothpicks, young
man, If you value your life" said a
physician to one of his patients. "You
unconsciously swallow little shreds of
the wood, which are not digestible and
which become compact in the stomach.
Finally you are annoyed by a hacking
cough and the splitting of blood and you
do not know what is the matter with
you. You imagine you have consump-
ton or some similar affection when 1t
Is only the foreign substance In your
stomach, that makes the strongest pro-
test against your carelessness or igno-
rance in allowing 1t to accumulate
there. Stop chewing toothplcks and
swallowing quack nostrums, and by
taking ordinary care Of yourself you
will live out the allotted threescore and
ten years."

The ancient Eng..e Il custom of giving
love tokens on the 10th of August died
out many years ago. The custom was
for 'euamoured maydes and gentle
women to give to their favorite SWANS
as tokens of love little handkerchiefs
three or four inches square, with but
ton or tassel at each corner and a
small one in the center. The finest of
these fIvors was edged with narrow
gold lace or twist and then folded
up i'll four cross folds so that the
middle might be seen. They were worn
by the fortunate SWANS in their hats
or on the breast. The favors were gen
orally the handiwork of the "faire
maybe herself, and well she liked to
work the most beautiful figures she
could for her favorite sutton, but they
became so much in vogue in Queen
Ellzabeth's time that they were sold
ready made in the shops. This, of
course, destroyed the romance of the
custom, and hence its death.

In 1874 Henry Irving achieved an i'm
mense success by his performance Of
Hamlet" at the London Lyceum thea
ter. His Interpretation of the part was
so striking and unusual that the play
mad run unprecedented at that time
continuing for 200 nights. OF his ex-
perience in playing this part Sir Henry
gave, some years before his death. an
interesting account.
Il can always tell" he said, "when
the audience is with me. 1t was not
with me on the first night of Hamlet
which is perhaps curious, considering
my subsequent success. On the first
night l felt that the audience did not
go with me until the first meeting with
Ophelia, when they changed toward
me entirely. But as night succeeded
night my Hamlet grew in their esti.
nation. l could feel it all the time.
and now l know that they like it
that they are with me heart and SOUL"

Necesaities Of a Happy Life.

There are two fundamental necessi-
ties for happy life-namely, a useful
occupation for mind and body and an
outlet for unselfsh affection The first
requisite for enduring happiness is in
having work to do in which one be-
leves. Such work always aims at the
accomplishment of something useful.
While this work must be done with
fair efficiency, it should not be accom-
panied with too much drudgery or ex-
haustion.
The simpler the plan on which ones
living is modelled the less will be the
complications and disturbances caused
by an overelaborate scale of existence
and the more time will be left for the
real duties and pleasures of life.-From

They Said "GuiIty."

OF the queer notions sometimes en-
tertained by the twelve good men and
true in the jury box the following
amusing story, recently told on the au-
thority of the counsel who defended in
a case Of larceny, is, let us hope, a
unique example. Recognizing in one Of
the jurymen the nephew of the prison
er, counsel thought 1.-The old man" was
safe to secure u verdict of acquittal,
more particularly as the prosecution
were only able to present an extremely
weak case against him.
The judge summed up in the prison
er's favor, but the jury said Guilty"
Meeting the nephew in the street next
morning, the lawyer rallied him upon
giving verdict against his uncle, es-
pecially as from the evidence it did not
appear that he was guilty. "Well, no,
sir; we didn't think as he was guilty,
but we thought as 'ow a little impris-
onment wouldn't do the old man no
'arm"-London Standard

Lntl,er For Shaving.

II is commonly assumed that soap is
used in shaving for the purpose of sof-
tening the hairs. This, however, it
seems, is a mistake 1t is used, on
the contrary, to render them hard, dry,
stiff and brittle, in which condition
they best yield to the blade. Hair be-
inc naturally oily, the razor would
either slip over the limp hair without
cutting it, or entering about half way
bend The hair back and slice it length
wise. all the while straining it most
painfully at the root, and as a razor
would thus slice and pull probably a
number of hairs at once the pain pro-
duced would be intense. Most shay
ing soap contains a free alkali, either
potash OF soda, which combines with
and so removes the oil of the hair,
leaving only the hard fiber, dry and
stiff as may be seen by taking a solu-
ton of carbonate of soda and dipping
a single hair into it.

A lawyer who makes a speciality OF
patent business, no matter Just wherN
his office is located, was called to the
farther west in a case involving
mortgage on farm. The preliminary
hearing was before an old fashioned
justice of the peace, who had no high
regard for the ways of men from the
city. At some point in the case the
magistrate put in a few remarks. and
the visiting lawyer collided with him.
The discussion grew warm, and at last
the magistrate, forgetting his dignity
and his position, became personal.
"Who are you anyway" he blurted
out.
Well replied the lawyer, I'm an
attorney"
"P'raps you are, but l never heard
one talk like you do. What kind of

wolseley's Opinion of the Chinese.

WOASCACS y VI OhAnCHes
1t was Lord Wolseley who regarded
the Chinese as the greatest race in the
world. His opinion was formed about
1860, when he was in China, and he
never renounced it. He said to a rep
resentative of the Strand Magazine:
"The Chinese people possess all the
elements of being great people. They
have courage, physical power and alb
solute contempt for death. Today in
that country soldering is looked dow
upon. Only the failures in life enter
/ the army. Let a Bismarck or a Ma
poleon rise up among them, and in two
generations they would be the greatest
nation and conquering power in the
world. They only need a leader. Give
them progress, and they will conquer.
Three hundred years ago they were
the head of the world, but their growth
was stunted. China wants a modern
man with modern ambitions. Let their
leader come, and they must revive
again."

Korean Children.

The children of Korea are extremely
quaint and pretty, especially when only
a few years old. AT New Years they
are generally dressed up in brand new

The pillars of Herculeu.

The pillars of Hercules" was the
name anciently given to the mountains
Of Calpe and Abyla, standing opposite
to each other, the'one on the European
and the other on the African shore of
the strait which connects the Mediter-
ranean sea with the Atlantic ocean.
The mountains are now called the
Rock Of Gibraltar and Jebel Zatant.
The word Gibraltar, which is at pres
ent also applied to the strait, was
originally "Jebel Taric," or Mountain
of Taric," Taric being the name of the
leader Of the first Mohammedan band
which crossed at that point over into
Spain in the year A. D. TO.

The Wind Sail.

1t frequently happens that after dis
charging cargo of particularly
malodorous nature it is necessary to
let the air reach certain parts of the
hold of a vessel not served by the fixed
regulation ventilators. To effect this
purpose a portable canvas ventilator,
called "wind SAIL" is employed. 1t is
cylindrical in shape and is kept in po-
sition by means of stays. When it is
erected the air blows down it, and the
hold is soon pure once more.

The Famous nInmeInl.es.

The mamelulles were Il body Of SOL
diers who ruled Egypt for several hun
dred years. Their name is derived
from an Arab word which means slave,
and they were originally captives from
Caucasian countries. In the middle of
the thirteenth century they We're intro
duced into Egypt as the sultans body
guard, but upon the accession of Turan
Shah, whom they hated, they over
threw him and elected one of them
selves in his place. For nearly 300
years they held the power thus usurp-
ed, and even when compelled to resign
it they had much influence in Egypt.
In ISL nearly all the mamelukes were
maSsacred by Mohammed Ali, and
those who then escaped to Nubia were
destroyed in 1920.

How an orang outang Travels.

1t is a most interesting sight to
watch an orang outang make its way
through the jungle. 1t walks slowly
along the larger branches in a semi
erect attitude, this being apparently
caused by the length of it's arms and
the shortness of its legs. 1t invariably
selects those branches which intermin-
gle with those of a neighboring tree,
on approaching which it stretches out
its long arm and, grasping the boughs
opposite, seems first to shake them as
if to test their strength and then de-
liberately swings itself across to the
next branch, which it walks along, as
before. 1t does not jump or spring, as
monkeys usually do, and never appears
to hurry itself unless some real danger
presents. Yet, in spite of its apparent
ly slow movements, it gets along far
quicker than person running through
the forest beneath.-Popular Magazine.

1t has been said many times that
Hons are cowardly brutes, but Of the
many lions with which 1 have had per-

last should consider appropriate in
describing them. I have been charged

cowardly. 1 have come face to face,
at distance Of some twenty feet, with
q family party Of half dozen, fortu-
nately fuii fed. They stood, with quiet
dignity, looking at us, and then slowly
moved away, stopping every few yards
to stand and look again. There was
neither fear nor meanness in their APP
pearance or behavior.
