"Now, remember your salutes," said the English corporal when posting the Irish recruit on sentry. "If you see a lieutenant?he wears one star on his shoulder?slope' arms; If a captaiu? two stars?slope arms; if you see a major?a crowo?present arms; if the colonel?stars and crown?present and turn out the guard." Pat pondered his orders carefully, but presently he was awakened from his reverie by the approach of the general. cnn nf \fnrs snrvpvpd luai ?? wi i uj qoii ! ? .... . the cross swords on the gallant officer's shoulders aud as he was not included in the corporal's category simply nodded cheerfully. "Well, my man," said the genial general. "and wh# are you supposed to. be?" "I'm supposed to be a bit of a sentry," said Patrick. "And who are you?" "Oh. I'm supposed to be a bit of a general!" said the latter. "A gineral. Is it?" cried the startled Pat. "Then ye'll want something big.

A Resourceful Woman. "I think it is a foolish fashion that so many women indulge, that of telling their age wrongly," said the woman with the prematurely gray hair. ? "I can honestly say that 1 never practice it myself." "No?" said her friend, with many meanings in the'monosyllable. "Well," said the first speaker, with a smile?she was a woman with a sense of humor?"the fact is I don't have to. ? I have a way of making myself out j younger than I am if I wish to with- j out telling a fib at all." "Really?" inquired the other curiously. "In what way?" "I put the burden of the fib all upon (he questioner. You see. when one of I my dear women friends?it is always ' women who are curious on this point? asks me how old 1 am I say: 'Oh, I'm i a year or two older than you. you know, my dear?at least a year older. Let me see. now. how old are you?' And then she always knocks more off my age than I should ever have the nerve to do myself."

Smith gives the name of ; "digger bee" to a blue green bee baring a metallic sheen, which may be seen flitting about sandy places during the first beats of May. With the aid of i liquid plaster of paris poured into the ] holes that it makps in the ground he has followed the bee through a wonderful course of digging. The work is done by females, and its primary object is to provide' protected cells in which the young are bred. The bee makes a tunnel a quarter of an inch in diameter, which after starting for a few inches on a slope runs straight down into the ground. At the depth of a foot or more short lateral tunnels are " * J? a# + o I?A ! driven, ana ai iue euus ui iumc ?ic ( formed the breeding cells. Having provided for her young, the bee "continues to dig down and yet farther down until she is four feet or even more beneath the surface, dying from sheer exhaustion about the lime her first progeny begin to make their way to the surface."?London Mail. Daniel and the Lions. An old negro preacher in Kentucky was dilating upon events in the Bible which had a zoological trend. He described the deluge and bow all the animals. two by two, went into the ark and were saved. Then he discussed the incident of Jonah and the whale. Balaam's ass aud finally the exploit of Daniel, who entered the den of raven- i ing lions and emerged unharmed. His j auditors listened with interest, and ! some of them seemed to have their j doubts as to the authenticity of the j tales. i.^inoiirr /-.no nf the* vniinwr necroos rose up and inquired. "Say. pahson, j wuz dem lions jest like the kind we j has now?" "Cose not. cose not." retorted the preacher, irritated at having his d:s- j course interrupted. "Dey was R. C.t i meaning bofo' circuses." The explanation was sufficient and i satisfactory.?Buffalo Commercial. _ Much Mixed. Some of the passengers were wait- ; ing at a way station in Vermont for the train to Burlington, says the Saturday Evening i'ost. "What kind of a train is that?" ask- ; ?/i nf thotn nt" the husv station ' master. I "Ob. freight and passenger togeth- : er." "Mixed, eh?" "Worse than that." said the station master.

Where did etiquette require nobles to appear before their sovereigns meanly clad? This singular custom character- J teed court ceremonial in ancient Mexico [ ] under the Aztec dominion. When the i native lords and grandees had occasion ( to seek the presence of Montezuma they were under the obligation, as Toriblo de Beuevente. who accompanied the Conquistador Cortes, testifies, of assuming a voluminous mantle of poor 1 material (una manta grosera y pobre). with which they covered and concealed j their ordinary robes, in token of subjection and humiliation. These were , manufactured out of the leaves of the aloe tree by the commoner classes. Etlquerre requireu me sina uuscnance of this custom by all those who . came into the emperor's presence, with the exception of persons of the royal j . blood. Any one seeking audience of , the emperor bad to don these common clothes on his arrival at the palace. Barefooted and wretchedly clad, he was led before the sovereign and with downcast eyes made his request, with every outward sign of abject subservience. It Came Back. "John Burroughs, the naturalist, dined with me one night." said a magazine editor of New York, "aud amoug my guests was a young nature writer of the new school. '"This young man told a wonderful story about the intelligence of oysters. [ ; He said he was going to put the story j in his new book. Mr. Burroughs gave j a dry laugb and said: " 'Let uie tell you about a cat. This I J story is quite as authentic as the other * one, and it should do for your book . J 11 inolv ' ' "The venerable student paused impressively. then said: ; "4A Spriugiiold couple had a cat j that age had rendered helpless, and J they put it out of its misery by means : of chloroform. They buried it in tlie garden and planted a rosebush over . its remains. The next morning a fa- ! miliar scratching took them to the . front door, and there was that cat waiting to be let in. with the rosebush under its arm.' " ! j Lived 152 Years. ! Wm.

There is in Dorset a group of villages which in some form or other have as their eponym the stream in whose valley they are situated. The stream is named Puddle, and the villages bear the names of Puddle Hinton. Puddletown. Tulpuddle, AfTpuddle, Turner's Puddle and Bryan's Puddle. One is reminded of the riddle about the letter "m." Some, like Queen Mary, "have it before;" some, like King William,; "hare it behind." Poor things, poor : things! "The inhabitants of these vil-j lages,' says Marcus Dimsdale. who writes in the Cornhill Magazine on "English Village Names." "sent to a former postmaster general?if 1 a in rightly informed. Cecil JKaikes?a re-, quest that they might be allowed to j change their names and replace them; with more euphonious substitutes j which they obligingly supplied. Back; came the official reply, curt, overbear-; ing.' inexorable. 'Puddle you are, audi puddle you must remain."" ? Dr. Hale's Day. Dr. Hale and the late Bishop nunt-| ington of New York were fast friends. The latter had been a Unitarian, and his shift caused a sensation, says the i Christian Register. The Episcopalians have saints assigned to the various days in the year. When an Episcopalian minister writes a letter on any tlmvn Jc O C'linf- !l<% ij. UUV lUl lUtl M 11 on >UI n.- ... ways writes the name of the saint at the close of the letter instead of the late. Bishop Huntington learned all these tilings quickly and began to practice them at once. The first time he had occasion to write to his old friend Dr. Hale after joining the church he placed "St. Michael's day*' after his signature. A reply from the doctor tame, and after his name he had written in a full, round hand, "Wash day." A Little Awkward. "Nearsightedness must be very embarrassing at times," remarked a Brooklyn resident to an#acquaintance thus afflicted. "The other morning, for example, a man addressed me 011 i crowded bridge trolley, and in ihe :ourse of conversation he roundly abused a chap whose political and business methods he disliked equally. In fact, he became acutely personal in his denunciation. "Before he left the car he was in formed by a friend near liirn tbar i was the man be bad been abusing. It iidn't worry me at all, but it must have been a bit disconcerting for him, lon't you thinkV'?.New York Glob.'.
