Tale Of a Russian Shell.

The offending battery at st. Pet

Russian battery. 1t was at the seig,

ordered the battery to concentrate III

The Quality that Counts.

The great prizes of life do not fall
to the shrewdest, TO the most long.
headed or TO the best educated, but to
the most levelheaded men, to the
men of soundest jurgment. When a
man is vented for responsible po-
s!tion his shrewdness is not consid-
e-ed so important as his sound judg.
ment. Reliability is what Is wanted.
Can man stand without being trip.
ped; and II he is thrown, can he land
upon his feet? Can he be depended up.
on. relied upon under all circum.
stances to do the right thing, the sen.
tc the most brilliant, to the cleverest,
sible thing? Has the man a level
head? Has he good horse sense. Is
he liable TO fly off on tangent or to
"go off half cocked?" Is he "faddy?"
Has he wheels in his head?" Does he
lcse his temper easily, or can he con-
trol himself. II he can keep a level
head under all circumstances, II he
can not be thrown of his balance and
is honest, he is the man wanted.-

himself and others with such zeal that
he never went to bed without taking

such as rendered the duty performed
particularly meritorious. SAYS a writer
In the Pail Mall Gazette. His dietary
was based on the most scientific prin-
ciples; he weighed himself before and
after each meal: he had his appendix
removed, so as to avoid. all risk Of
appendicitis, and, in short. he so fully
realized the duty of being healthy and
long lived that he never had time to do
anything else or talk about ANYTHING
else. Unfortunately, he never took that
