The Nmtional Salute and thealiute to the Union. The question as to why the no tional salute consiste4 of twenty. one guns was put to one of the classes- at Washington preparing young men for the entrante exam inations for %West Point and An napolis, and, strange to stly, not one of the embryonic generals or ad mirals "hit the nail On the head." The "coach," who knows Ameri can histdry away down underneath, furnished the information that the national salute, which is the inter national salute-that is, the sqlute given to the national ffagZ-i fixed by army regulations at twenty-one guns, and that the .number appears to have been in conformity to the custom of foreign nations at the time when the number was so fixed. The first record of a national sa lute is in the army regulations of 1812, which was in conformity to the number of states comprising the Union, then eighteen, but in 1818 a new- regulation was made fixing the number at twenty-one, which was at that date the number of states in the Union, and which was at the same time in accordance with the king's regulations (Great Brit ain), which fixed twenty-one guns to be fired as a salute on the anni versary days of the birth, accession and coronation of the king, the birth of the queen, the restoration of Charles 11. and the gunpowder treason. 1 At that date the national salute in France was also fixed at twenty one gifns, to be fired only on Corpus Christi day and on the king's birth day. It is proper to remark, however. that the national salute of twenty one guns at the present time ap pears to be peculiar to the United States and Great Britain, inasmuch as the national salute of France is 101 guns, of Germany 33 guns, and that the superlative salute in the United States is that on the Fourth of July of one gun for each state Yin the Union, and it is called the salute to the Union.-Washington Post.

No foofor drink used on the stage is too mean for them to neglect-provided the property man isn't looking. They drink the cold tea as though it was really wine in stead of the fake vintage. They devour the ginger cake that passes for pate de foic gras. They have even been known to attack realistic papier mache grapes and the ices made of cotton batting. The play on this particular night was "Romeo and Juliet" and the scene in Juliet's garden the piece de resistance. The stage was filled with apple trees in bloom. White petals were scattered thickly on the cocoa matting greensward. They were .notreally apple blossoms, but white, pulpy popcorn, substituted for muslin flowers after many ex ppriments, because they looked just as well and lasted longer. The fake blossoms differed from the popcorn of the candy stores in one particu lar. The firemen thought the pulpy corn increased the danger from fire and ordered the manager to squirt a fireproofing mixtire on them. The prompt book had this stage direction at the climax of the third act: "Romeo fights Tybalt. Mur murs off L, changing to yells. All on." On this evening there were no murmurs, no yells, .no "11" to go on. As the curtain fell Homeo went. to the stage manager, beside him self with rage. "What the-beg pa rdon-good ali"- he veiled. "Where-was that crowd ?" "Out of business," replied the stage malinger. "They're lying in a row down in the cellar. Thiey* ate the doped popcorn."-Philadelphia Ledger. Neither Did the King.

With one accord they cried out, "Canute the (reat, Waldemnar and Christian V.1" Just then a little girl, to whom the schoolmaster had whis)ered something, stood up and raisedl her hain id.. "Do you know another ?" asked the king. "Yes-Frederick VI." "What great act did he per formi" The girl hung her head and stamn mered out, "I don't know." "Be comforted, my child," said the king. "I don't know either." . - His Tip. Diner--You have waited upon me very acceptably, and I'have enjoy ed my meal thoroughly.

In the reign of King George II. the footman of a lady of quality un der the absurd infatuation of a dream disposed of the savings of the last 'twenty~years of his life in two lottery tickets, which, proving to be blanks, made him decide to leave this troublesome world.

Just as an express train entered the tun nel a soldier in a third class carriage Rung open the door and attempted to jump out. Fortunately one of the passengers succeeded in seizing the man's coat tails and with the aid of other passengers held him there head downward. They could notV pull him back, for the sucion was t6o great. - The communication cord was pulled, the train stopped and the rescued man, who, it Op pears had suddenly become insane, was.placed under arrest. ' A This is not the first exciting inci-. dent which has happened in the great boring which carries the Great Western railway beneath the bed of the Severn. Some five years ago a Cardiff commercial traveler went to sleep in a train bound from Cardiff to Bristol and, waking with a shock, found himself lying in pitch dark ness beside the permanent way in the tunnel. How he got there he had not the faintest idea. Probably he had walk ed in his sleep. At any rate, he was not much hurt, tliouh he had evi dently been unconscious for sone time. He had not the faintest idea how far it was to the entrance nor which way to go. - Soon he became violently thirsty. He heard, water trickling down the wall close by, but when he -collected some in his hands he found it was salt. lie made a brave effort to find his way out, but dizziness came on and he fell unconscious. As he lay there another traiin passed, and the poor man must have had a. desper ately narrow escape, for it was found that his left boot heel had been cut off and his ankle sprained. Plate layers found him eventually and carried himi to safety, He had been six hours in the tunnel. Some win iters ago a Welsh Iunnel was the 'scene of ati most exciting episode. One day in January, 1902, the Carmarthenshire hounds found a fox, which made at first straighit for the coast, but, being turned by 60me villagers, took to the railway line and ran into a long tunIel, fol lowed by the w'hole pack. The mas ter, Mr. larries, 'eaIlized. the dan ger to the hounds-and at once fol lowed them. Ile was fully -i quarter of a mile down the tunnel when a roaring sound behi nd wa rned him that a train had entered the tunnel. Al mosf instant ly the glare of the 2 headlight lit the dripping walls, and the horseman, clapping spurs to his horse, began to gallop at full speed through the darkness. Thuen fol lowed a most exciting race for' life, the man riding at the pitch of hi. - horse's p~ace, thme train thundering in pursuit. By a sort of miracle the horseH kept his feet, but the train gained rapidly. At hast the white circle of g the tunnel's mouth appear'ed, and the dr'iver of the engine noticed the black silhouette of trie rider against the light and slackened speed. Rlider, hounds and all came safely out of the perilous predicament in which they had plunged themselves. --London Tit-Bits. Digging For Fish. The natives of Kottiar, in Africa, are in the habit of digging every year, in the summer, the dry banks of the Vergel river for fish, whichT they dig out by hundreds, just as they would potatoes. The mud4 l~umps are broken open, and the fish, perhaps eight 01' ten inches long, ' will always be found alive and often " frisky, as if just removed from its mplposedly nativ'e element, the wa ter. In the dry beds of several Af- C rican rivers a similar' practice is of- t Len pursued.
