An Anecdoee of Handel.

On n occasion Handel was caught
in a shower of rain and was obliged to
seek. shelter in a blacksmith's forge.
Either Handel was iii a silent mood or
else the blacksmith showed no onv
sational symptoms. for in a little while
the latter began ~hammering away at
his anvil, accompanying his work with
a song. Handel was listening all the
stime to the strokes of the hammering
en- the anvil, which, by producing two
harmonic sounds. according in time
and tune with the tune the man sang,
formed a bass accompaniment. Handel,
on reaching home. remembered the air
and the hammer accompaniment. He
wrote down both. and so we owe to d
shower Of rain the composition known

HE LOST HIS FREckLEs.
James Whitco,nb Rilsy's Tale of How
the Trick Was Turned.

~ NSS
AS a youth James Whitcomb Riley
was burdened with freckles. Always
sensitive regarding anything rejecting
upon him personally, he grieyed over
what he considered an insurmountable
misfortune. He told of his effort at
emancipation:
"One day I saw in a drug store win
dow what was said to be a sure cure
for moth, tan, freckles, etc. l ponder
ed possession of a bottle, but-50
cents! OF purse / could eve buy 1t.
Why, I didn't get so pennies in a
whole year"
But he managed to finance himself
by manipulation Of the market money
when doing .errands for his parents
and he bought a bottle Of the magic
stuff. He ran with it to the haymow
and rubbed 1t all over his face, then
raced of to school to make up the
time he had lost.
when | stepped inside the door all
the school started to laugh at me- he
says. 1.-THE teacher asked mi what l
meant by coming to school in such a
condition. Bewildered and ignorant
of what 1t all meant, | followed her
out the door. She showed me my face

MILITARY MARCHING.
The Pace Varies With the Quality and
Size ii The Command.

The Pace Varies With the Quality and
Size CT the Command.
The "Army Drill Book tells that
trained and hardened infantry can
cover from twenty to twenty-five miles
a day when in small bodies. AS the
size Of the command increases the dis
lance covered becomes less, as the rate
is lowered and time is needed to get all
the units into and out of camp.
With a regiment or less of average
troops-regulars-marching over aver
age roads the rate should be from two
and three-quarters to three miles an
hour. Large bodies will travel from
two to two and a half miles an hour.
while q division cannot be expected to
accomplish more than twelve and one
half miles q day.
OF course all these figures will vary
with different conditions of roads and
weather. Unframed troops could not
approach them until hardened. Though
they might do better for Il day or two,
they could not keep up the steady pace
of the seasoned regulars for a long dis
lance.
Marching with fun equipment is hard
physical work and, like every other
form of labor, requires Il proper period
Of training. The seasoned force will
keep up a steady pace with ten minute
halts every hour, a fifteen minute stop
being made at the end Of the first half
or three-quarters of an hour. Green
troops are apt to struggle badly.-Out-
