What Famous Sieges Cost

. IL 20 =
SLAMS carried out three assaults, all Of
which failed, and their total loss In
killed and wounded amounted to the
immense number Of 27,7O0 officers and
men, or nearly one-third OF the besieg-
ing army
The great siege Of sabastopol in 1855
was a desperate affair. 1t lasted IL
months, and in that period the Rus
SLAMS had $4,000 men killei and wound
ed, while the French and British be-
sieging forces lost $4,000. In this case,
however, the Russians were able to
get achievements to the end.
At Delhi the British loss was 1880
killed and wounded. The siege of San
Sebastian cost 1000 men, and the
famous siege of Rochelle, carried out
over four centuries ago, cost no few
or than 10000 men. In this case eight
assaults were delivered.
The United States lost heavily In
the sieges of the Civil war. To give
one instance. the federal army had 10.
600 killed and wounded in the two
assaults delivered on Petersburg.

English gentleman who recently came

Just before making the mountain
climb-there was delay. Several
hours passed, and still the train re-
NAMED stationary; our traveller friend
grew FESTIVE, and sought the porter Of
the Pullman car to ascertain the cause
OF the delay.
TT seems that in mounting the
grade a freight train had broken apart,
| the rear portion having descended the
grade and blocked the track. The por-
ter informed him OF the accident to
the freight train, and said, There is a

Immediately the hunter instinct
was awakened; FASTENED to his berth.

Praise the Child.

One Of the reasons why a child Is
so willing to help neighbor and 80
reluctant to help at home is because
of the greater recognition OF service.
There is no reason why service should
not be recognized just because 1t is a
daily performance or because it is paid
service. "A good business man rec
ognizes daily task we'll done even
though he pays his employees. A
housewife wants her husband to praise
