Deed Of q Gallant Nobod '.

1t Is not always the information car
ried by the recognized aids-de-camp to
and from the commanding officer in
battle which is Of highest value. There
was supreme moment during the bat
tie Of Waterloo when the Duke of
Wellington was left absolutely alone,
and that not when he was running the
risk OF capture by sailing through the
enemys lines. 1t simply meant that
every galloper had gone his way, each
with his message At this moment q
stranger rode up to the duke and quiet
~ asked, "Can be of any use, sirT"
The duke took one glance at him and
unhesitatingly answered, Eyes, take
this pencil note to the commanding Of
ficer," pointing to a regiment in the
heat Of the battle The stranger took
the note and galloped away with it
through the thick of the fight. He de-
ltvered it, but what happened to him
no man knows. The duke always de-
clared that to be one of the most gal
liant deeds that had ever come under
his notice. 1t was done without pros
pect Of acknowledgment or reward,
and neither attended it's successful &C.

Four Bad Snakes,

Snakes are much maligned creatures,
although they are, for the most part
Of considerable value to man. as they
live almost entirely on insects and the
small rodents that are injurious to
crops. Of all the snakes that inhabit
North America there are really only
four that are dangerous. These are
the copperhead, the moccasin, the rat
tlesnake and a little snake of southern
Georgia and Florida known as the
coral snake. OF course there are a
number Of different species Of the rat
tier (about thirty, but they inhabit
different parts of the country and are
all to be known from the fact that they
rattle" when approached. All the
rest of our snakes are absolutely
harmless, and their bite is to be less
feared than that Of a mosquito.-Scrap

Is:.iHa the Initiative.

There is Il certain satisfaction in talk
ing the enemy unawares on his own
ground, in downing him with his own
weapons. President Polk evidently
took comfort in his method for miti-
eating the hand shake, that curse of
the chief executive Office, and he must
have chuckled when he wrote in his
diary the bit which is given in James
Schouler's Historical Briefs"
If man surrendered his arm to be
shaken by one horizontally, by another
perpendicularly and by another With
strong grip, he could not fail to suf
fer severely by it. But if he would
shake and not be shaken, grip and not
be gripped, taking care always to
squeeze the hand of his adversary as
hard as the adversary squeezed him,
he would suffer no inconvenience by it,
I can generally anticipate a strong grip
from strong man. I take advantage
Of him by being quicker than he and
Selling him by the tips Of his fingers.
This is stated playfully, but it is all

A Frost DesoIated Land,

I learned from an eyewitness some
thing about Spitzbergen, that desert
arctic island 500 miles north of the
North cape of Norway and within 700
miles of the north pole; frost desolat-
ed land, where the grass grows longer
than the trees and huge glaciers in the
ice bridged valleys amid the jagged
mountains move majestically down in
to the sea until mighty icebergs, a
monstrous birth, break off and rise
to the surface amid thunderous reports
once tic oily sound that broke the
profound Silence Of those awful soli-
tudes. SpitzIe!"sea is the only spot of
earth that is positively known as No
Mans land. 1t is the possession Of
no country and has nothing even re-
sembling 4 specified government. The
island seems likely to remain No
Mans Land, though it is said that an
effort has been made by Norway to
establish some sort of protectorate over
it.-National Magazine.

Edward HIPS Drum Corps.

Probably introduced from the east,
Is frequently mentioned in the accounts
OF the first crusade. When Edward
III. and his queen made their trium-
phal entry into Calais, 'tambours," or
drums, were among the instruments
which were played in their honor. An
other of these was called a maker"
or kettledrum, taken, together with it's
name, from the Arabs. The poet Chau-
Ger also mentions this instrument in
his description Of the tournament in
the "Knightes Tale::'

That in the bataiiie blower blody sounes.
The king generally kept a troop of
these bandsmen or Ministries in his
employ and we read that Edward II.
on one occasion gave a sum Of 60
shillings to Roger the trumpeter, Janino
the nakerer and others for their per-
formances.-Chamb ers' Journal.

The Soul and the Beard.

In Russia it was the common belief
up to the time OF Peter the Great that
beardless nen were also soulless and
tat a man who purposely admitted
h;ving his beard marred could never
en- ar heaven. The great Peter above
referred to ordered his. heathens to
SHAVE up" 50 as to appear more civil
lized, and when they refused to comply
with his edict he fined the wealthy and
middle classes. 100 rubles for each
beard that was permitted to grow and
each peasant and laborer kopeck for
the same privileges Finally the priests
were appealed to, and they Informed
their parishorels that unless they sub
mitted to having their boards shaved
they need not expect that st. Nicholas,
the gatekeeper of heaven, would be
able to distinguish them from the
bearded Turks. That had the desired
effect.

Tipping the Cook.

In old timas to dine with nobleman
cost more in tips to the servants than
d club dinner. Lord Poor, we'll nam
ed Irish peer, excused himself from
dining with the Duke Of Ormond upon
the ground that he could not afford it.
eff you will give me the guinea l have
to pay your cook, I will come as often
as you choose to ask me"-Which was
accordingly done. The duke, however,
had not the pluck to stop the tipping
practice. Lord Taafe, a general officer
in the Austrian service, did what he
could. He always attended his guests
to the door. When they put their
hands into their pockets he said: mo.
If you do give it, give it to me, for
it was I who paid for your dinner
TO Sir Timothy Waldo must be given
the credit Of putting an end to the
monstrous practice. After dinner with
the Duke OF Newcastle he PIT 4 crown
into the cooks hand. 1t was rejected.
II do not take silver, sir" ''Very good.
And do not give gold" This cou-
rageous rejoinder "caught on" and

Cinnamon Topers.

Both cinnimCn and cassia contain
tannin, and too much Of either has the
same effect as excessive tea drinking.
There are cinnamon and cassia topers
who are as much addicted to the habit
Of chewing the bark as some men are
to chewing tobacco. The cinnamon
topers acquire their habit chiefly from
working In the woods stripping the
bark from the trees and drying it. It

The most wonderful cave in the
world is in the island of Tonga, in the
south Pacific. Byron called it ga
chapel of the seas" 1t is formed in
rock that is almost surrounded by the

high and broad proportionately. Many
years ago boy, the son Of native
chief, was chasing huge turtle, when
his game seemed to sink into the rock

tide fell, disclosing small opening in
the rock about six feet under low wa

hunter entered the aperture and, to
his surprise, came to the surface in

when the natives explored it with
torches, to contain many beautiful

Their foes linger, astonished at their
disappearance, for no person not ac-

fantry on the night Of the ARRAY at
Brownsville, was on the stand in the
investigation by the senate committee
on military affairs. In the absence of

At the conclusion of a long direct

Foraker that while he had believed
the men of the Twenty-ffth infantry
did the shooting, his mind was now
open on the subject of their guilt or
Innocence. He thought the firing
came from about the center of the

were used. It was his opinion that
high power rifles were not used in the
firing he heard. He estimated that it
would require forty or fifty minutes to
clean a gun so that it would stand in.

fastened the lid in order to turn it into
a deck, leaving cockpit sufficient to
enable him to crawl in. He calked all
the joints as we'll as he could, and
when this work was finished he made

Origin of Two Familiar Proverbs

Origin OF Two Familiar Proverbs.
1t was the habit of the great Greek
painter Apelles never to let day pass,
however busy he Glanced to be, with
out practicing his hand by tracing the
outline Of some object, custom which
has now passed into proverb-"No
day without a line" He also made it
a rule, when he had finished a canvas,
to exhibit it to the view Of those who
visited his studio, While he himself.
hidden behind the picture, would listen
to their comments. 1t is said that once
a shoemaker censured him for having
painted pair of shoes with one latchet
too few. Next day the shoemaker, re-
visiting the studio, saw that the paint
er had corrected the mistake. He then
began to criticise the leg of the por
trait, upon which Apelles came for
ward and reminded him that a shoe
maker should not go beyond the shoes,
a piece Of advice which has also crys-
tallized into a proverb, "Let the cob
bier stick to his last" -Pliny the Elder.
