"What a beautiful woman Mrs. Raymond Is!" he exclaimed. "I have just had such a pleasant talk with Her in tne dook store. His wife looked up from her sewing. "John!" she exclaimed, "where Is your collar?" The professor of philosophy put his hand to his throat "I must have left it at the barber shop. Tea, that's it. I went to the barber shop; then to the bookstore. Why!" he ended lamely, "Mrs. Raymond would think it very careless of me to appear in public without my collar, wouldn't she?" "Rather," said his wife. "Perhaps you had better call her up and tell her just how it happened." "Exactly," said the professor. The professor went to his telephone. "Hello, Central, hello. Hello?Is this Mrs. Raymond? Tes? Well, really it was very stupid of me. Mrs. Raymond but, you know, I had been thinking of something very Important and I quite forgot to put on my collar.

Not What Hs Cams For.?In illustrating that appearances are often deceiving, Senator Francis Warren, of Wyoming, recently told of an incident that happened In one of the western nun. Some time ago, the senator said, a certain party was traveling past a pond when he noticed a man struggling in the water. Evidently the man couldn't swim, and, seeing the peril, he was in, the traveler quickly jumped from his horse and went to the rescue.* In a few minutes the man was safely ashore and wringing himself out, and then came the usual questions. "How in the world did you come to fall in?" asked the traveler. "I didn't come to fall in, partner," answered the rescued party.

Not His Property.?After the small boy emerged from the quick lunch place he opened a paper bag and revealed a club sandwich. Glancing furtively around, he lifted off the top slice of bread, took out a piece of chicken, ate it and replaced the bread. A few moments later he again removed the "lid," extracted a piece of bacon and repeated this process as he shuffled along Market street until all the bacon was gone and most of the chicken. A man who had watched the process with curiosity, tapped the boy on the shoulder and inquired: "Say, kid, why don't you eat your sandwich instead of picking at it that way ?" "Dasn't!" replied the youth. "'Tain't mine."?New York Globe. A Horse Deal.?At the haymarket one afternoon recently, a couple of farmers stopped to talk crops and horses. "Are you In the market for a good horse?" asked one. "Always ready to dicker," the other answered. "Ever see that little bay mare of mine?" "I think I know the critter." "How'd you like to own her? She's yours at rock-bottom price." Gathering up his lines preparatory to leaving the spot the other farmer replied: "Well, John, I'd buy her this morning, but I hate to bust a dollar."?

[Under thia heading from time to time will be published a eeiies of authenticated extracts dealing with historical examples of the good and bad In human nature, mostly good; but all furnishing an admirable chart of conduct to b# emulated or avoided]: HUMANITY. Sentiments. By humanity I understand the concern men feel for the human species in reneral, for this single i '.ason, that they are men like thems* ves, without being united either by the ties of blood, love or friendship. It is Just we should have a superior tenderness for a father, a wife, a child or a friend; but there is a sort of affection which we owe to all mankind as being members of the same family, of which Ood is the Creator and Father. Let us illustrate this by the circular undulations which the fall of a stone causes on the surface of a clear and tranquil water. The agitation in the centre, by communicating itself afar off, forms a great number of trembling circles, the falntness of whose impression is in proportion to the largeness of their circumferance, till the last seems to escape from our sight. Here is an image of the different degrees of our affections. We love principally that which touches us the most nearly; and less and less in proportion to the distance. We consider mankind with relation to us, as divided into different classes, every one of which increasing gradually, consists of greater numbers than the former; we place ourselves in the smallest which is surrounded by others more extended and from thence we distribute to the different orders of men witch they contain, different degrees of affection, more or less strong, in proportion to I their distance from us in such a man ner as that the last has hardly any share of It. These different classes jmay be ranked in the following orjder: a wife, children, relations, friends, men of the same religion; next are those of the same trade or profession as ourselves; the other classes comprehend our neighbors, fellow citlsens and countrymen; the last, which Incloses all the rest. Is the universal class of mankind. Pity, compassion and even forgiveness, when not inconsistent with prudence and our own safety, are due to our enemiea We must not do that to another which we would not have him do to us. 1 "his is the rule which determines what kind of treatment is forbidden with respect to the rest of mankind; everything, which were it done to ourselves, would appear hard, barbarous and cruel, is comprised in this prohibition. Examples. When Q. Caecillus Metellus, the *- - -? J Roman proconsul, ntiu mvusicu obrigla, a chief lord of the country, named Rhetogenes, came out of the place, and surrendered himself to the Romans, but as he had left In the city his wife and children, the inhabitants, enraged at his desertion, placed them in the breach which the legionaries were to mount Hereupon the good natured general, finding he could not attack the city without spilling their blood, abandoned a certain conquest, and raised the siege. The tame of an act of such humanity being soon spread through a.l Tarraconlan Spain, the inhabitant* of the revolted cities strove who should first submit to him. Metellus received them, and among the rei-t, the Nertobrlglans, Into an alliance with Rome, and at length received the whole country.?Univ. Hist. The Turks having Invaded the Ukraine on the side of Russia, that empire sent two numerous armies to repel the invaders. The one commanded by Count Lasci, an Irish gentleman of great courage and experience, which broke through the Turkish entrenchments and ravaged Crim Tartary with fire and sword. The other " tin/in*, he nnrnmiind of ai iu/ nao uuuvi v?v ? Count Munich, destined for the destruction of Oczakow. In this army the late Mr. Keith, governor of Berlin, and field marshal of the Prussian forces, was then a lieutenant in the service of the Czarian. By his valor and skill at the head of eight thousand men, the place above mentioned was Invested and taken, et least the success was chiefly attributed to him. In storming this city he gave such instances of tenderness and humanity as diffused additional lustre round his military glory, for while the furious Muscovites w^re sanguine in their revenge, he checked their ferocity, and exortect tfcom to spare the lives of their en'ehfyes. Among1 others he rescued a ebH& of six years of aae from the hands of a Cossock, who had already lifted uj> his clmeter to cut off the head, as she was struggling to extricate herself out of some rubbish in which she had been entangled. Her father, being a Turkish grandee of some eminence, had been anxious to dispose of her suitably to her rank; but being now an orphan, and Mr. Keith not knowing how to provide for her himself, sent her to the Lord Marshal his brother, who brought her up in the principles of the church of England, and educated her in the most liberal manner. He treated her in every respect as if she had been his own daughter, and as she grew up gave her the charge of his house, where she did the honors of the table, and behaved herself with such affectionate fidelity and exemplary discretion, that the saving of this young innocent from destruction may Ka r* nnmnH nnf tVio looot OAnalHoroKlo V?\/ UVCU1VU UVfc t?U IVWk VV*I0?WVS t*w*w of Mr. Keith's services. Marcus Brutus, the Romna general, was of an extraordinary mild disposition and great magnanimity, and therefore, before ho began hostilities, sent to the Lyciar.s to demand a supply of men and money, but the Lycians despising his humanity and good nature, would harken to no terms, so that Brutus was forced, against his will, to lay siege to Xanthus, their capital city, which he foresaw would bring innumerable evils on a brave and gallant people. The besieged made a most vigorous defence, and behaved in their sallies with unparalleled bravery, but were always repulsed with great loss. The next day about noon they made another sally, set fire to the engines of the enemies, and retired in great haste within the walls. The Romans pursued them close and entered the city to the number of two thousand, with the besieged; but the portcullis falling, either by stratagem of the enemy or by accident, many of the Romans were crushed to pieces and the rest shut In without possible means of retiring, or receiving the least assistance from their friends. In this desperate condition they resolved at least to sell their lives dear; and with this view marched in good order through showers of darts to a temple dedicated to Sarpedon, king of Liycia, wnu was ouyiiuwu tv ...,v been killed In the Trojan war. There they fortified themselves and sustained a siege in the very heart of the city. In the meantime Brutus and his men exerted their utmost efforts to relieve their fellow soldiers; but all their endeavors were to no effect, the Xanthlans defending it with a bravery and resolution which surprised the Romans themselves. Some sparks of fire being carried by a violent wind from the machines, which burnt with great fierceness, to the battlements, and from thence to the adjoining houses, the flame was soon spread all over the city, and the conflagration became general. Brutus, fearing the whole would be destroyed, ordered his soldiers to lay aside all thoughts of revenge and assist the inhabitants in quenching the fire. Perceiving th? ''nr-es blaze out in different parts of the city in a most frightful manner, he mounted his horse and riding round the walls, stretched forth his hand to the inhabitants, begging of them that they would spare their own lives and save their town; but his entreaties were not regarded. The Xanthlans were immoveably determined not to outlive the loss of their liberty and therefore repulsed with showers of arrows the Romans whom the good natured general sent to their assist Mm, th?u thpmsftivM sat her ttlltr. na;, fc??VJ _ erlng together reeds, wood and other combustable matter, spread the fire over the whole city, feeding It with what fuel they could get. Some of them cut the throats'of their wives, their children and their slaves before the soldiers' faces, and then leaped into the flames. Not only the men, but the women, nay, even the children ran like wild beasts on the enemies' swords, or threw themselves headlong from the top of the walla Some children were seen offering their throats or opening their breasts to the fathers' swords and begging they would take away that life which they had given. When the city was almost wholly reduced to ashes, a woman was found, who had banged herself with her young child fastened to her neck and the torch in her hand with which she had set Are to her own house. When this was related to Brutus, he burst into tears, ana declining to see so tragical an object, he proclaimed a reward to any soldier who would save a Xanthlan; but with all his care and good nature, he could only preserve one hundred and fifty; and those much against their will.?Plut. in Bruto.. As soon as the soldiers of the truly gallant cxar of Muscovy were masters of the town of Narva, they fell to plunder, and gave themselves up to the most enormous barbarities. The csar ran from place to place, to put a stop to the disorder and massacre. He turned upon his own victorious but ungovernable troops and threatened to drench his dagger in their hearts If they did not immediately desist from rapine and slaughter, and allow quarter to their vanquished foes. He even killed with his own hands several Muscovites who did not harken to his orders.?Hist. Ch. XII. Pyrrhus, h&vlng put to flight the army of Antigonus, seized hiB kingdom (Macedonia); but both armies meeting again at Argos, the inhabitants sent deputies humbly requesting that neither of them would enter the city. Their request was granted; but, contrary to his promise, the same night Pyrrhus rushed with his forces into the town. The affrightened inhabitants immediately sent to Antigonus for assistance, whereupon a battle ensued in the streets, and in the morning Pyrrhus was found among the slain, having been killed by a stone thrown from a building by a mother, whose son he had first wounded. Alcyoneus, the son of Antigonus, taking the head by J kiB the hair, roae wun iuh upoeu w uu> father, and finding him talking with some of his favorites, threw it at his feet Antlgonus, looking upon It and knowing It not only thrust his son from him with disdain, but struck him with hiB batoon: "Barbarlous wretch," said he, "why does thou think that he whose grandfather was slain, and whose father died a captive, should rejoice at such a sight?" Then taking the robe from his shoulders, he covered the head and at the same time let fall a shower of tears, giving orders that the body should be carefully looked for, and that they should be burnt with all the funeral honors due to a king. While he was thus speaking, Alcyon'eus, having discovered Helenus, the son of Pyrrhus, in a threadbare coat, he spoke to him kindly and with great respect presented him to his father. "Well, my son," said Antlgonus, "this is better than you did before; however you have done less than your duty still, In that you have suffered a person of quality to approach me in that threadbare coat, which is not a disgrace to him, I but to our victory." Having then comforted Helenus for the loss o! ! father, he entertained him kindly and afterwards set him at liberty and sent him home to Eplrus. ?Plut. in Pyrrhl.?Justin, lib. xxv. c. 6. As Alexander, after one of his victories over the Persians, was sitting down at table, an account was brought him that among the prisoners were the mother and wife of Darius, and two unmarried daughters, and that upon seeing his chariot and bow, they broke out into great lamentations, concluding that he was dead. Alexander, after some pause, during which he was rather commiserating their fortunes, men rejoicing m mo own success, sent Leonatus to assure them that Darius was not dead; that they had nothing to fear from Alexander for his dispute with Darius was only for empire, and that they should find themselves provided for In the same manner as when Darius was In his greatest prosperity. If this message to the captive princesses was gracious and humane, his actions were still more so. He visited them himself, and allowed them to do the funeral honors to what Persians they pleased and for that purpose furnished them out of the spoils with robes and all the other decorations that were customary. They had as many domestics and were served In all respects In as honorable a manner as before; Indeed, their appointments were greater. But there was another part of his behavior to them still more noble and princely. Though they were now captives, he considered that they were ladles, not only of high rank, but of great modesty and virtue, and took care that they should not hear an Indecent word, nor have the least cause to suspect any danger to their honor. Nay, as if they had been In a holy temple or an asylum of virgins, rather than in enemy's camp, they lived unseen and unap proftcneu in mo mvoi povici ^utqa*j? It is a&id the wife of Darius was one of the most beautiful women, as Darius was one of the tallest and handsomest men in the world, and that their daughters much resembled them. But - Alexander no doubt, thought it more glorious and worthy of a king to conquer himself than to subdue his enemies; and therefore, never approached one of them.? Plut In Alex. In the year 1736, the notoriously Infamous pirate Angrla had his strong fortress of Geriah, In the vicinity of Bombay, taken by a squadron under the command of Admiral Watson, and the land forces commanded by Colonel (afterwards Lord) CUve. Angrla himself escaped, having left the fort three days before it was attacked, but committed the government thereof to one of his wives' brothers under whose care also he put his mother, two wives, and both his children. Admiral Watson, soon after the reduction of the place, took an opportunity of visiting these unfortunate .-aniivon ami tn? interview DRCuem. ihem was beyond measure affecting. Upon his enierlng the house, the whole iamiiy made a grand salaam, or reverential bending of their bodies touching the very ground with their laces and shedding floods of tears. The admiral desired them to be comforted; adding that they were now under his protection, and that no kind of injury should be done them. Then they again made the salaam. The mother of Angrla, though strongly affected with these testimonies of goodness and humanity, yet could not help crying out that the people h{ul no king, she no son, her daughters no husbandB, the children no father! The admiral replied that from henceforward they must look upon him as their father and their friond. Upon wnich the youngest child, a boy of about six years old, sobbing, said, "Then you shall be my father;" and immediately took the admiral by the nand and called him father. Thit action of the child's was so very affecting l.t quite overpowered thacrave, that good man's heart, and he lound himself under a necessity turning from the Innocent youth for a while to prevent the falling of thaie tears which stood ready to gush irom his eyes.?Ives's Voyage. INDOLENCE. 8entiments. A lazy person Is of all others, the most incapable of pleasure; a wretch who, slumbering In a perpetual lethargy, cannot be stimulated to action or rouBod from his insensibility. He is his own burden and would fain tly from himself but is not able; that eternal inappetency which he drags aboet with him assumes a thousand different forms for his own punlshmen and that of others. "* Suplneness and efficiency have mined more constitutions than excessive labor; and moderate exercise for tar from being deaiructlvo to health, established and strengthens It The activity of our minds, the structure off ur bodies, the vigor and mobility of tneir organs, demonstrate that the hpnd which formed us, formed us for a busy and active life, and the end for which the Creator designed us is, undoubtedly, the best to a/hlnh uio nan nnoolhlv attain That .no necessity of labor ought to be regarded as a punishment. Is a mean and sordid opinion, invented by the ou'eminate and la^; on the contrary, If Qod had prohibited labor, such proh .tlon might Justly have been deemod a token of his displeasure, for inaction is a kind of lethargy equally pernicious to the mind and body. Examples. Theodoslus, the Roman emperor, had been used when a child to sign ail the acts which were brought 10 him by his ministers without reading them, and he was so indolent and tnougntiess as to continue tne same custom even after he was married. His sister Pulcheria, to apprize him of the evil consequences that might attend it, caused an act to be drawn up whereby he yielded to her forever the empress Eudocia as her slave. This act the emperor signed as UBual, without persuing It, or even inquiring what it contained. Some short time after his sister presented ilm with the act, and desired he vould read It He did, but was so ashamed of his past indolence and neglect that he never after signed any papers till he had either attentively read them himself or was well Informed what they contained.?Univ. Hist. vol. xvl. CHINA AND IT8 PEOPLE. Newest Republic a Wonderland of Which the World Knows Little. China, the oldest civilization, the largest nation and the world's youngest republic! The authentic history of China as an integral empire goes back to about 1,000 B. C., but the names of dynasties reaching back 2,000 years earlier are preserved by the Chinese. While hundreds of years before Christ, and even durlnir the dark ages, the civilization of China was more adfjtobi ABSOLUTI The only Baking F Royal Grape Ci Makes delicious 1 of maximum qua cost Makes pleasant an vanced than that of the European or other Asiatic nations, very little progress has been made since that time. Several expl&ntlons for this condition are given. The Cinhese, though patient and painstaking workers, are not inherently Inventive, and it has further been the policy of the ruling power during.the modern era to isolate China and to discourage advances naHnna aanlrlnCf on U*c pew i VI tviu>BU UOVIV11D ow?*?o commercial relations. Another hindrance has been the custom of ancestor worship, the reverence for old customs and habits, and so a horror of all Innovations. It speaks well for the Standard Oil company that kerosene oil Is the only well-known product of foreign origin In the country. As early as the seventeenth century A. D., the Chinese manufactured paper and printed in a crude sort of wAy. The baking of porcelain and the weaving of silk, some processes connected with which have never been Improved upon, antedate records. One of the wonders of the world and a remarkable feat of engineering, the great wall of China, was built In the third century E C., as a protection against the raids of the Tartars. It stretches for nearly 1,500 miles along the north ern border or cnina proper, onen reaching1 a height of 50 feet, and supported by frequent garrison towers, and was so thoroughly constructed that portions of It today remain In good condition. Intensive agriculture and horticulture and the processes of Irrigation and fertilizing have been highly developed; In China-proper, In the valley* of the Yang-tse and the Hoang-Ho, water Is pumped to the very hill tops, 7,000 to 8,000 feet above sea level, and two or three crops a year are harvested. These valleys support a denser population than any similar area In the world. If all the people In the United States and 40,0/00,000 more were all crowded Into the state of Texas the population would be no denser than tt is in southern China. The Yang-tse Is one or tne principal uiorougnrares of China and is navigable for nearly 1,000 miles, but the Hoang-Ho is shallow and frequently overflows its low banks. In the last 2,500 years It has Changed its course eleven times, and the different channels it has occupied are a hundred miles apart The great loss of life?on one occasion reaching 1,000,000?and the damage to property resulting from the floods accompanying these changes have given to the river the name of "China's sorrow." The natural water ways, supplemented by the Grapd canal, which is 1,200 ' years old, furnish elaborate means of inter communication, and the tonnage of China's inland commerce is estimated larger than the combined tonnage of all the rest of the world. The boats and methods of handling the cargoes, however, are antiquated, and steam is barely known. In all occupations the great motive power for the 450,000,000 is manual labor. Coolies, or porters, the laboring class, mules are used to some extent at the irrigation pumps and In packing. Cattle and sheep cannot be raised, for there Is no ground that can be spared for pastures* There are no roads, only foot paths, and In some parts of China passengers are transported overland by wheelbarrow. The great Industries outside of the production of food for home consumption, are the raising of tea and silk worms and the mulberry trees for the worms to feed upon. While few agricultural possibilities are now undeveloped, that Is, land possibilities, for the tools and methods are utterly crude, the mineral resources have barely been touched. The coal fields, the largest In the world, alone represent Incalculable wealth, and many other minerals are found In commercial quantities. Whenever China does permit the Invasion of foreign capital and enterprise there will be a revolution In the commerce of the world.? Chicago Record-Herald. Zouaves^?One of the most interesting classes of soldiers of modern limes muj ueen uie rreiuiu euiya uuned the Zouaves. This body of daring and picturesquely attired fighters reached the heights of its reputation during the Crimean War. The Zouave corps at that time was supposed to consist of Frenchmen. It was, however, quite international, since many daring young foreigners had Joined it, and it was known to include in its ranks men from Oxford, Qottlngen, and other universities. It is probable that a majority of its members were in it more for love of fighting than for any love of country. It is not strange, therefore, that its fame as a fighting body should have spread throughout the world. When our Civil War brone outseevral corps of Zouaves, wearing the glittering Oriental uniforms of the French corps or a modification of them, were formed on both sides. On the Union side the best known was that corps commanded by Elmer Ellsworth, a young officer from New York and the first killed on the Union side. In the Confederacy the most famous corps of Zouaves was that called the "Louisiana Tigers." While in American military life the Zouave uniform has .practically disappeared, in France the Zouave name and uniform still survive.?Harper's Weekly.
