A pARLNa MOVEMENT.

YoNiean War.
Long odds mean little to the
average United States soldier. Zach
airy Taylor and his little "arhy of
occupation" after marching into
the heart Of Mexico against over
swhelmingly superior numbers,
achieved the apparently impossible
time after time and scored victory
after victory.
One night while his exhausted
soldiers were taking their well earn
ed rest General Worth was planning
d daring movement for the capture
of the heights above the bishop's
palace. Tho strength of that posi-
ton was great and all its approaches
so carefully guarded that the only
hope Of success appeared to lie in
secret and rapid move during the
quiet hour just preceding the dawn.
Lieutenant Colonel Childs, with
six companies and 200 carefully Sc
lected Texas rangers, was chosen for
the dangerous honor of opening a
way to the heights above. AT 3
o'clock on the morning of the ED
(September, lS46), their movements
,effeetually yelled by a dense fog and
the sound of their advance deaden-
ed by the constant pstter of a cold
rain, the little column moved for
ward, guided by Saunders. and
Meade, who knew the exact location
and character Of the narrow path
which they were to follow up the
steep decliyity.
p9 Orders had been issued that the
strictest silence should be observed,
and without whisper the men be-
gan the difficult ascent, no man see
ing his fellows, so dense was the
blackness Of the night. Over half
the ascent had been accomplished
when the ears of the watchfui senti-
nels at the summit caught the
sound of tin canteens rafting
against the harness Of laboring reg
ulars.
Instantly the alarm was given,
followed by the flash of musketry,
Which warned General Worth that
his secret move had been discovered.
at first no answering shot, however,
came from the dark slope, where
regulars and rangers, crouchihg
low among the rocks and brush-
wood, toiled steadily upward.
Then the anxious watchers on the
Saltillo road, General Worth and
his detachment, heard the sharp
crack Of tho Texas rifles and knew
that the height had been gained.
Re-enforcements, were instantly dis
patched, dragging, or rather lifting,

They reached the summit to find

The two eminent scientists had
differed in opinion concerning the
morphology of certain gasteropoid
molluska, and the dispute had be-
come bitter.
They began to indulge in per

"You supervacaneous anfractuos-

Appreciated Advice.

Good counsel, thankfully received,
may not always be interpreted ac-
cording to the preachers intent.
An j"American pioneer" of 1912
gives an account Of a sermon which
resulted in an understanding far
more to the delectation of the hear
er than Of the one who delivered it.
A good Swedish minister gathered
a company of Indian chiefs and de-
Iiyered to them a discourse on the
subject of sin and its consequences.
He enlarged upon the story of Adj
am, Eve, the apple and the fall. His
language was vivid and picturesque
and made a great impression on the
red men. at the end of the sermon
an Indian orator rose and said:
"What you have told us is all very
good. II is indeed bad to eat apples.
II is better to make them all into
cider. We are much obliged for
your kindness in coming so far to
tell us these things which you have
heard from your mother"

COSTLY CLOTHES.
Costumes Worn BY One Set Of london
Boy choriatera.

soy OHoTlupSI4s tA
AS rule, boys are not disposed to
be oyerproud of their clothes, but a
lad whose Sunday suit costs some
s4o and is of SO striking character
that it is considered unsafe for him
to walk abroad in it alone might be
excused for being a triae "stuck up"
in this connection.
Yet in London every Sunday there
are ten boys who are thus expensive
ly and brilliantly habited, They are
the ten choristers belonging to his
majesty's chapel in st. James pal
ace, and truly gorgeous are they
when arrayed in their Estate suits"
Scarlet cloth is the foundation of
the costume, and bands of royal
purple between rows of heavy old
lace are the adjoining of it. Grand
est of all, old lace ruffles are worn
at the neck and wrists, but these are
SO valuable and difficult to replace
that it must be special occasion to
warrant their being donned, white
lawn bands being substituted as a
general thing.
A boy has TO exercise great care
over his state suit, for it must last
him three years, while his undress
suit is replaced every eight months.
The choir of this royal chapel is
one of the historical institutions of
Britain, and many Of its old time
customs, including the dress of the
boys, are retained to this day.
Some curious customs peculiar to
st. James choristers may be men
toned. The most interesting of
these is the right of the head boy to
demand guinea as "spur money"
from any officer entering the chapel
wearing spurs.
1t is relrted that when Sir Arthur
Sullivan was head boy the Duke of
Wellington would always come to
the chapel in his spurs in order to
have the pleasure Of paying the for
felt to his fayorite chorister.-Pear-
