On one Of the visits of the American

L. Mahan, the writer on naval affairs
as his flag captain. One morning Cap.
tain Mahan came to his admiral with
an invitation to dine with duke which
lie had received.
II can't accept" said Captain Ma

II should say you couldn't" growled
the admiral. IN answer for you.'
Whereupon the admiral wrote:
admiral Erben. United States navy
regrets that Captain Mahan, his flag
captain, cannot accept the Invitation of
the Duke of Blank. Captain AIahan Is
on the sick list"
An hour or SO later messenger from
the duke returned with invitations for
the admiral and the captain, where,
upon the admiral wrote again:

The Emprcs.e. Of Russia.


During the eighteenth century no less
than four expresses held sway over
Russia. and If perhaps the throne was
unjustly usurped In more than one in
stance 1t can at least be said Of all of
them that they reigned more wisely
than the emperors Of that period and
that they have left names more famous
than those Of their male predecessors
and successors. With all her many
faults Catherine the Great proved n
wise and powerful monarch, and much
that disfigured her history may be for
gotten, seeing that she almost totally
abolished the custom Of subjectlng all
Russian prisoners to system of ghast-
ly torture besides repeating many 9TH
er cruel and barbarous laws.

Always Raining.

There is group of islands to the
south Of New Zealand called the Sis
tiers, or Seven Sisters, which are reput-
ed to be subjected to practically con-
slant rainfall. The same may be said
Of the Islands and mainland Of TERRA
del Fuego, saving for the difference
that the rain often takes the form Of
sleet and snow. On line running
round tho world from four to eight or
nine degrees there are patches over
which rain seldom ceases to fall. This
is called the zone of constant precipita-
tion," but at the same time there are
several localities along it with very
little rainfall

curious Fact. ABOUT the Eve.

= ~" -hDOue SHc Eye.
a very curious fact is the impossible
ity Of moving your eye while examin-
ing the reflection of that organ In a
mirror. 1t is really the most movable
part of the face. Yet If you hold your
head fixed and try to move your eye
while watching it you cannot do it
even the ethousandth of an inch. OF
course IL you look at the reflection of
the nose or any other part Of your face
your eye must move to see it. But the
strange thing is that the moment you
endeavor to perceive the motion the
eye is fixed. This is one Of the reasons
why PERSONS expression as seen by
himself in n glass is quite different
from what it is when seen by others.

Mitigating circumstance.

A Scotch bailie recently advanced to
the bench had criminal placed before
him accused of some very modest vio-
lation Of the law. OF course the baillle
knew the prisoner well. He heard the
charge stated.
John, man, Pm sorry to see you
here. Well just fine you half crown"
The clerk here interviewed.
But the charge is not yet proved;
we have not heard the evidence"
Then the benignant baillie:

charge is not proved We'll just fine you

Mar. and saturn.

If Mars and Saturn reflect the same
proportion Of the light which falls upon
their surfaces the smaller and much
nearer planet would look three times
as bright as the much more distant
and much larger Saturn. AS matter
Of fact, there is no great difference be-
tween the two. 1t is inferred from this
fact that the visible surface Of Saturn
consists of clouds, since no surface of
land and water would reflect SO much
light as that planet gives.
