MISTAKEN FOR GRAND DUKE
"ood Forbid, I Am an Honest Mani"
Replied Russian Army Leader, In
Reply TO Salutatlon.

An amusing story Is going the rounds
in Petrogrnd Just now concerning GEN
ernl Bruslloff, who can be very direct
aud brusque In his manner when he
chooses.
The army leader happened to be In
the capital on buslness-thls was be-
fore the reyolutlon-and was mistaken
by an officer passing for u certain
grand duke OF VIGOROUSLY pro-Germnn
sympathy.
Coming smartly to the salute, the
officer, who probably, Judging from his
manner, had some petition for pre-
ferment to present, led OFT with the re-
mark:
"Pardon me, sire, but I believe | am
addressing the Grand Duke So-and-
sof"
"God forbid |" replied General Brus-
Hon, ~ am an honest man."
And shutting grayely In his turn he
passed on.

WHALES STOOD ON HEADS
According to ships officers, Large
School Certainly Acted In a Most
Peculiar Manner.

This Is n whale story, concerning
whales that stood on their heads, and
all vouched for by officers of n fruit
steamer which arrived recently from
the tropics, according to II recent issue
OF the Boston Evening Transcript.
And, seriously, the chief officer of the
steamer intends to make n written re-
port about the whales TO the federal
bureau Of fisheries. The whales were
llghtshlp. During their respective
careers at sea the officers have seen
many whales, but none which behaved
In the manner OF those sighted on this
trip, and II was the peculiar behavior
OF the levlnthans, together with their
number, which attracted attention. Be
tween o n. m. and 4 p. M according to
the chief officer, nearly 100 whales
were seen. For the most part, they APP
peared to be In shoal water, and from
time 10 time would dive and remain
poised with their tnil-ends protrudlng
twenty or more feet above the surface,
according to the size OF the individual
whale. In the opinion OF the ships Of
ncers, the whales pursued these tactics
to obtain food fish swimming close to
the bottom. on the other hand, a num-
her OF the whales again, according to
tne mariners, Aoated on the surface
apparently asleep and were not dis
turbed by the approach OF the steamer.
In addition TO the story, the steamer
brought $4,000 punches OF bananas.

Portable Fire for Soldiers.

A compact portable material for
building n small cooking fire Is n bless

The Italians have devised n homemade
fire ration" which the people nt home
prepared last winter for the men In the
cruel Alpine passes. The fire ration Is
made from old newspapers. and can
die ends, or other pnrnfln material.
The newspapers are cut into little
cylinders, which are afterwards boiled
Ia the paraifin. This produces a high.

piled:

The insolent challenge, and the

wrist which held the letter.

Identity questioned" he answered.
"Youll hand over that envelope, and
afterward I will submit my proofs to

As ne trod the flags OF the garden
walk, he fancied he heard tho foot
steps OF a man In the street. following
him. He stopped and listened, but
now no sound was 10 be heard. He
peered back into the darkness. but
saw nobody. Doubtless II was a hal
l~ucinntion n was n place OF echoes

larry appropriate for old Mastermnn
TO have had his lonely residence here,
matching his lonely life.
Az Donald had anticipated. the front
door was locked, and the window Of
the living room was apparently nailed
up. He trnversed the narrow path
that led TO the back OF the house. To
his surprise, the kitchen window was
open.
Then II occurred TO him that Mas
terman Ind, OF course, gone directly
home on his return from his last
earthly voyage. He swung himself
ncross the window sill and dropped TO
the kitchen floor. He III a match and
found the gus.
The yellow fare disclosed n very
ordinary kitchen. Masterman's coat
hung on n nail beside the window, and
he had been cooking porrldge upon
the range. Donald went through into
n Dol at the back OF the house, which
had apparently been built out ne n
date subsequent 10 the completion OF
the structure in LIS original form.
He stopped short at the threshold,
hearing the "swlsh. swish" Of winter.
II was not falling water, but n
gentle and continuous ripping. II &C.
Cured to him that II was. on n smaller
scale, the sound that n seal makes in
the course OF Its ceaseless %peregrina-
lions around Its tank.
There was n palm tree In n huge
pot On either side OF what looked like
nm enormous goldfish bowl. Behind
this was a second bowl, even larger.
In the middle Of the room was n COM
pllcnted apparatus resembling n re-
tort. He saw n chandelier close TO the
wall.
Donnld M three gns-1ets.
The light nlckered and sputtered ms
the air rushed out. Then, when II
had grown steady, Donald saw that
n sort OF Photographic lens was at
tached TO n box In front Of the appn-
rntus, directed toward the great tank
between the palms.
Approaching, he perceived that the
top Of the tank was covered with
glass. A slender tube OF the same
material entered the water from
above. whore II was supported upon
an arm extended from n wall. There
was n connection between the tube
and another which ran upward from
the top of the retort.
Presently Donald caught sight OF n
barometer attached TO the front OF the
mechanism. Now he began to under
stand. Tho object In the tank, what
ever It was, was under n pressure OF
n number OF ntmospheres.
lie approached the tank and walked
round It, peerlng into It from every
side. He saw the rlpples on the wa.
ter, and there was n faint sound ms Of
n fin brushed against the glass. But
he could see nothing In the nature Of
n living thing.

As Donald made no reply OF any
nature, MacBeard turned to the ply
stefan, and had soon completed the
arrangements for the removal OF the
body. Then he went TO the clerks

He held the envelope IN his hand
still, and he was about 10 place II In
his pocket when his glance fell upon
n sentence OF the manuscript within.
Donald drew II forth and read:

there alone for years, In the intervals

MacBeard came up to Donald with
n smile Of affected frlendllness.

ord Of our friends address," he said
"poor Mnstermnn was n very retiring

"Then II you Fan look In here to-

sor cordially.
Donald took the profered hand and
felt Il sense OF disgust ut the touch
OF the limp fingers. He strobe out OF
the club and took n taxlcab to the
station.
The Baltimore train wns Just about
to leave. Late that night Lieutenant
Pnget found the captains house. II

There was no light behind any Of

Donald climbed n fence, walked
round 10 the bnck, and went up IN,

She showed a table that cottage
cheese is cheaper than most meats

For supplying protein. one pound OF

One pint Of cheese at Is cents is
