Napoleon had this to say of the way
in which battles are gained: In all
battles a moment occurs when the
bravest troops after having made the
greatest efforts feel inclined to run.
That terror proceeds from want of
confidence In their own courage, and
it only requires slight opportunity, a
pretense, to restore confidence to
them. The art is to give rise to the
opportunity and to invent the pre-
tense. At Arcola | won the battle
with twenty-five horsemen. seized
that moment of lassitude, gave every
man a trumpet and gained the day
with this handful. You see that two
armies are two bodies, which meet
and endeavor to frighten each other.
A moment of panic occurs, and that
moment must be turned to advantage.
When a man has been present In
many actions he distinguishes that
moment without difficulty. 1t is as
easy as casting up an addition"

Huptino In Russia.

Nearly all the dogs used in hunting
wild animals In Russia not only attack
but endeavor to devour their quarry.
With the borzoi and gontscho 1t is en-
tirely different. At an early age they
are put into training with old and ex-
perienced dogs. so that they soon learn
how to properly attack their adver-
sary. They are slipped three at time
after a single wolf When one of the
dogs gets nearly side by side with the
wolf he makes one bold squirt and
with the fore shoulder strikes the wolf
so that he is knocked over or else
grips him by the neck. Each of the
other dogs, coming up. strikes the
quarry in the same manner as he tries
to rise. finally pinning him to the
earth. so engaging him until the hunt
er arrives. The sportsman then either
kills the animal or takes him alive.

Red Tame in Action,

An American, In visiting the London
postofflce, observed that the newspa.
per box had large mouth and. with
the curiosity of the average American
tourist, he stood gazing into it. Sud.
denly a bale of newspapers struck
MIN and he fell into the box.
His companions hurried to the coun.
tc"s to rescue him, but owing to the
rcd tape of the English postoffice the
clerks disregarded their appeals. The
American was in the mail box and
would have to be treated as a mail
matter. They therefore stamped him
and threw him into compartment
containing provincial newspapers.
The unfortunate mans friends there
upon went to the chief, who listened
automatically to their story, then
asked II their friend was addressed.
On being informed that he was not,
the chief said:
The matter is simple. The man will
remain for six months in the bureau.
At the end of that time, II no one ap-
plies for him, he will be burnt as a
dead letter."

Fruits Rlpened by Drug Vapors.

Horticulturists have for some time
been experimenting on the effects to
be obtained by subjecting plants to
the vapor of ether, chloroform and
other volatile substances. They have
found that the growth of many fruits
and flowers can be forced by this
method and have obtained particularly
striking results with lilacs, which they
have thus been able readily to obtain
in winter. An American agriculturist
has experimental more particularly In
the effect of these and other sub
stances on the ripening of fruit. His
observations have shown that in the
majority of cases the more volatile
the substance to which the plant Is
treated the more rapid Is the ripening.
In forcing the ripening of dates, for
instance, he found that the best re.
suits were obtained when he employed
acetic proprionic, tactic or salicylic
acid. Heat powerfully stimulates the
ripening process and one of the pecul.
iarities of fruits thus forced to ma
turity is that they are generally found
to keep better than those which have
rlpened naturally.

DREAD DEATH COMING
FEAR DEEPLY IMPLANTED IN THE
HEARTS OF ALL.
Some More Effected by Loss of Honor,
Vlslt to a Dentist, or Bank
ruptcy, but Few DeIlber-
ately End 1t All.

Probably the first thought of every
reasonable man In reading the dreary
details of the disaster to the Titanic
was: What would l have done in the
same circumstances? ?" Probably his
second bore the hope In all humility
that If such circumstances should arise
for him he would behave without too
much of the awkwardness of panic.
Only a fool would haphaZard a predic-
ton of his conduct in the face of a
peril so unexpected and attended by
the terrors of midnight and the sea.
1t is no discredit to the human race to
say that eowardce Is gift from the
devil which has been impartially dis
tributed among mankind.
Every man who thinks at all Is
afraid of death He may be more afraid
health or money, or going to a dentist,
Or, like the man in Pickwick, Of life
without buttered mullins. but he
chooses death only as q bad alterna-
tive for worse. If he Is not afraid of
one thing you may be sure he Is afraid
Of another.
A man will go up to the clouds in a
balloon who wouldn't go down into
twenty feet of water in submarine.
| A steeplejack may be afraid of dogs
and lion tanner of riding in an eleva-
! tor. We know a man who has made a
great reputation for GOODNESS under fire
in battle, who gibbers with fear when
/ ever he has the stomach ache. One
man fears fire, another burglars, an
other railway trains, another measles.
/ Conduct in an emergency depends
on many things besides those abstract
qualities known as "cowardice" and
courage" A man Is apt to act calmly
when his surroundings, at the time the
peril presents itself, are customary
and familiar, when his nerves happen
to be sound, or when he has time to
mediate on his action and weigh care
fully its consequences.
Again man may be persuaded to
shame or glory, as the case may be, by
the example of his neighbor. One per-
son afflicted by binding fear may turn
a hundren men into a panic stricken
mob or he may convert them into a
throng of heroes through their very
horror of his conduct. And one man
who has established his moral eQuilib-
rum quickly can instantly convey for
titude to the others. Courage and
cowardice both like company.-F. p.
