A Mite."

The difficulties experienced by oul forefathers in trying to reckon money in very small proportions appear in the various values given to mite" in the sixteenth and seventeenth cen tury books of commercial arithmetic. The original Unite" seems to have been q third of Flemish penny. but the use of the word for the widows coin of the New Testament made its regular English meaning half q far, thing, and some old people may re- member applying the name to the short lived nineteenth century coins of that value. In those old arithmetic books mite" stands for various val ues not represented ty actual coins. but obviously used in reckoning. A work of 170G makes it one-twefth of a penny, two sixteenth century books one-sizth of q farthing. and in 1874 Jeake's arithmetic made it as little as one sixty-fourth of a penny.-Lon- don Chronicle.

A Dramatic incident In the Career of
 General de Gallifet.

It was on that fatal day, Sept. l., 1870. that General de Gallifet distin- guished himself by commanding the cavalry charges intended to clear the elevation at lily, with the view ot opening 6 passage toward fiotnS, where it was hoped the army might re- treat The first charge overthrow the Etehty-tlird regiment of the frnssians and penetrated among the German troops. but the latter formed again rapidly after the retirement of the French cavalry.
 General Ducrot then asked if they could renew the charge with what re- maincd of the light cavalry and huS- sars. and then Gallifet answered in the words that have become historic, "As often as you wish, general, as long as man remains"' The second charge was not so successful as the first Only few men. with their gen eral at their head. succeeded in pene trating the first ranks of the enemy It is known that the king of Prussia who was watching the battle from the top of the bill of Marfee, exclaimed with admiration, "Oh, les braves gens!"
 Just at this moment an astonishing event occurred in the midst of the bat tle AS Gallifet was returning with a few survivors, their horses for the most part wounded or foundered he passed before the Nassau regiment: The Prussian officers ordered their men to cease fire and even struck up some of their guns. The French sa- luted and shouted, "Vive Fempereur" and the German officers acknowledged the salute. some of ,hem applauding.- Westminster Gazette.

 One of the most pathetic sights in the world is that of d human being struggling hard to carry out his am- bi,ion. yet handicapping himself by his ignorance of physical laws.
 What a pathetic figure Carlyle cut in the world--a one sided giant who might have been q symmetrical power, possessor of colossal brain largely controlled by dyspeptic stomach. He was cross and grabbed and did just the things that he did not want to do. things that he knew it would be bet ter not to do. but he was the victim of starved nerves, of exhausted brain cells largely for want of common sense feeling-Orison Swet1 Warden in Sue cess Magazine.
