Soldier True to Training.

During the period of the second en- pire" in France the Gent Gardes" were one of its sights at the Tuilleries. It was hard to distinguish them from statutes. Their commander, Col. Yer ly, once declared to Empress Eugenie that nothing" could make one of his men move when on duty. The empress laid wager that she would make one of the giants stir; so, with her charac- teristic impetuosity she went up to one of the guards and boxed his ears. Not a muscle moved. The empress then acknowledged that Col. Verly had won the bet. and sent solatium to the soldier, who. however, proudly refused 1t, saying that he had been sufficiently compensated by the honor of having had his sovereign lady's hand laid on his cheek.

"It did me good" observed young girl who had just returned from Eng. land, ito see. in real life, one of the old customs my grandfather used to tell me about-the burning of the time candle at an auction. In Berkshire the old custom still prevails. and when an auction is in progress and an arti- cle Is put up for bidding short length of candle is lighted as the bidding be gins. The shouting continues until the candle burns out. and the last bid before it flickers its last is the one that takes the cake. I don't know but 1t has an advantage over the go ing, going, gone variety, but it is fearfully slow and un-American."
