San Francisco, July 23.-The latest
reports from the Columbia steamer
disaster indicate that there is some
doubt as to the truth OF the early
morning report that III persons have
been saved. 1t is now denied that
more than one life boat was picked up,
and 1t only contained sixteen survivors
and the bodies of two victims. Six
life boats and three life shafts loaded
to the limit of their capacity were cut
loose from the sinking vessel and un-
til these are accounted for it is i'm
possible to tell the exact number OF the
saved. The life boats contained 249
souls.

The Two West Points.

The sensations Of the new cadet
when, after the climb from the boat
landing, he finally reaches the plain
those first sensations linger a long
while. There are two West Points
the actual West Point and the over
arching spiritual one, Of which the ca
Diet only becomes conscious about the
time he graduates. The determinate
West Point that is to be his master for
four years and the shaper Of his des-
tiny meets him at the top Of the slope
with ominous silence. He hears no
voice, he sees no portentous figure, but
there Is communicated in some way
through some medium the presence of
an invisible authority, cold, inexorable
and relentless. Time never wears away
this first feeling. 1t comes back to
every graduate on returning to West
Point let his years and his honors be
what they may. And perhaps it is
just as well that it be so; that there is
one place left in our country where
vanity Of asserted ancestry and the too
frequent arrogance of speculative and
fortuitous commercial leadership find
a chill.-General Morris Schaff in At

Nicknames.

'It's funny how nickname, given
to one during ones boyhood, will stick
to one throughout a lifetime" said
man recently. "The variety Of nick
names is also amusing. If I were
asked to explain the conditions, /
should say that 1t was because the
rest Of the kids didn't like the real
names and just substituted others to
suit themselves. For instance, a boy
comes to school with lengthy name
that fond mother has given him with
no doubt in the world that he will bear
1t all his life. Usually her fond hopes
are shattered and the little dear will
come home from school the proud pos
SCISSOR of such a 'hang-on' as Tip,

SHAVING NAPOLEON.
It Was Difficult Job For Constant,
the Emperor's Barber.

II Was Difficult Job For Constant.
the Emperor's Barber.
Constant, Napoleon's barber. tells Of
the many difficulties he experienced in
shaving the emperor. Napoleon would
take his place in the chair, conversing
and gesticulating. Suddenly he would
call for paper or turn rapidly to look
behind him.
The utmost caution was necessary
on the part of his barber to keep from
cutting him, yet in spite Of all these
restless movements not once while
Constant was shaving the emperor did
he do So
Sometimes when in the chair he
would sit stiff and motionless as a
stone, and Constant tells that he could
not get him to move his head either
way in order to facilitate the opera
ton of shaving.
Napoleon had singular whim of
having only one side Of his face lath-
cred and shaved at time. When he
shaved himself, which was seldom. he
Invariably cut himself badly. This was
due to his restless Impotence, and.
though he was scrupulously neat in his
person, he would, after hewing a slice
from his cheek, give up the operation
IN disgust and go about with part of
his face unshaved until he had found
his faithful barber.

Samuel Taylor coleridge.

"The largest, broadcast, deepest and
most Intellectual genius Of the nine
teenth century''-thus has Coleridge
been described, and probably no bet
ter description Of the great philoso-
pher and litterateur can be found. He
was youth Of impulses and tried in
turn to become a cobbler, surgeon
and soldier before he settled down
and gave proof Of his vast literary at
tainments. Some Of his poems have
been accepted as the noblest pieces Of
imaginative writing produced by a
modern poet, while as literary critic
he had few equals in his generation.
He was a born journalist and lecturer
too.-Pearson's Weekly.

SUSPICIOUS BIRDS.

One winter day made an expert

Tar their natural suspicion would hold

ticed that If one put little BIT of
string, large button or any strange
object among breadcrumbs the spar
rows would not touch the bread. They
feared trap. Starlings are less sus-'
picious in this way. If they care
about the bread at all, they are more
trustful and do not make any fuss
about some small foreign object. But
| thought hard weather might make all
the difference even to sparrows.
So put long piece of apple peel
among the bread. It looked quite good
to eat, but might be taken by a very
suspicious bird for something Of the
nature Of string or tape, which spar
rows seem to regard with particular
distrust. Can they regard it as an
emblem of captivity? Directly the
bread was thrown on the ground about
fifty sparrows perched in a tree above
it. They looked at 1t very glumly, and
not one ventured to come down. Gen
orally they would be devouring the
bread within few seconds. For lit
tie over three hours a crowd Of spar
rows watched the bread with the ter
rible piece of apple peel lying among
1t, but it remained untouched. Then
one sparrow made up his mind to take
the risk. He was soon followed by all
the others. In twenty minutes the
bread was gone. But they had wasted
over three hours.-St James Gazette.

Tone and Manner.
It is true that animals can be taught
to obey tone alone-that is, a mere
sound having no place among the lists
Of words. So may human being
Therefore that proves nothing. 1t is
likewise true that you may say thing
in tone that contradicts the word,
and the animal may or may not re-
spond to the tone only, but the same
effort will produce the same effect on
any sensitive child, woman or man.
Again, horses and dogs are the most
sensitive Of all brutes, the most easily
offended, encouraged, discouraged.
Therefore, need one be surprised if he
finds it takes long lesson to teach a
horse or dog to obey the word regard
less Of the tone and manner? That
either can be so taught, however, thou
sands of people know from their own
experience.
I can say to my little Gypsy, "Come
here and let me whip you,' in the
quietest, softest. most smiling style,
and she comes cringing, trembling and
ashamed, showing Enthusiastically that
she considers the word whip" humil-
iating and hateful, yet hopes I do not
intend to infict any punishment Then
| can frown my worst and shout out
as savagely as l please, "No; you're a
good dogp' and she frisks about joy
fully, although she dislikes harsh tones
even in sport.-Forest and Stream.

To Saratoga, the first degree of bliss,

great happiness and no work or sick

the five sacred books, drink ambrosia
and hear the houris sing.
To Sameeba go the spirits Of all

THE STAGE KISS.
What 1t Really Means Rather Than
What It Seems to Be.

Stage kisses! No one but an actor
or an actress can fully appreciate what
they mean. The picture as presented
to the audience is very pretty, but the
vision which looms up before the eyes
of the poor player is something like
this:
A face covered with coating of cold
cream, which has been powdered over
with a thick layer of pearl white or
brunette powder, as the case may be.
On the cheeks are daubs of rouge,
which at that close range In no pos
sible manner suggest, as they do to the
audience, the rosy cheeks of a country
lassie. Over the eyes Is rubbed a
little dark blue powder to make them
poetical. The underlids are heavily
ter Of an inch from the eye at the
end. This makes them larger. Upon
each separate lash is bead of black
cosmetic, which has the effect of max
ing them heavy and long. The cherry
lips, which to the audience the hero is
eager to press to his own, are to his
distorted vision at such close range
only a cash Of carmine painted into a
Cupid's bow.
The actress sees before her picture
even less attractive, for ten chances to
one the hero, in addition to his grease
paint, wears a false mustache and is
also Smelly with tobacco. The glare
Of the footlights tones down this con-
glomeration of paint, and at distance
the faces are actually pretty, but upon
close inspection they resemble nothing
more than very bad oil painting out
Of focus.
Taken from this viewpoint, some Of
the very impassioned kisses featured
in plays require no little self sacrifice
on the part Of the players.-Harriet
Quimby in Leslie's Weekly.
