?VODNI AND 010 J 1 * ?N m ARMY 1 Lieutenant fCon?y', ?u?ke* came ?ut of the wk?ty, M<W ? the bachelors' fl^**: ??d. - starts jauntily do*!*??. ?#$ar line beat ing in bis hand a (rite. j3e was immediately surrounded by tho abundant supply oj? Frni?l b0V3 from the officers' qTtajrters, all of whom were armous tor tho kite. He picked out voung 'Arthur be cause the boy was so fond of sport and never cried when thrown from his pony, but yojong Smart of the cavalry, lounging on. the bachelors' piazza, stirred up "Mr." Dawdle of tho infantry b^ remarking, 'You will get left, plebe, for there goes Toney boot licking thut boy again, .and he is sure of an invitation to tea, and you know what that means.":] "That boy" was the captain's son, and tho captain's wife had a young lady sister visiting her, whom ?oney bad already escorted for a ride on a troop horde. But this is all byplay to the'Id's ?tory. Toney took out of his pocket a ball of cord, 'borrowed from the commissary sergeant for the occa sion, and straightened the kite tail, jnade of old yellow stripes cut from scouting trousers. Everything be in^ ready, he called out, "Hold her, my son, and I will run her up for you, and then she is yours." Toney started in quarter race time, encouraged by frantic veils from the boys; but, alas, just as Arthur's young aunt was merrily applauding from the piazza the kite commenced to duck in the most cowardly fashion, and the faster Toney ran the more it ducked. "Sumpen's the matter," said Ar thur. " 'Tain't got the right sort o' tail," eai? another;"tieaxock tocher," and. many similar .pieces of advice came from all the boys at -once. By this time the piazzas were, filled with spectators, and tne men waiting for mess call sailed out on the barrack porches to see the fun, when old Major Stuffy started to ward the boys with that important air which he thought becoming to -one so old, "be gad, dragoons, be fore the war, sir!" "1 say, Toney, you want to short -en up the center bridle and make her stand on the wind like this," said the old anajorj taking hold of the kite. Toney, who was puzzling his mind as to where he could get more kite tail without tearing up his only ex tra pair of sheets, looked up and remarked, "Well, old man, what do you know about kites anyway,?" < Now, Major Stuffy,had always been very partial to Toney and showeddt by always joking with him while swelling with i|l fitting dig nity in his intercourse with all the subalterns. The old gentleman's nerves had been a littler shaken for a few days because tfce infantry colonel and brevet S major general, commanding the -Spoit?"one 'of those damned volunteers, you know" ?had added insult to injury by sending him an order not to drive any more government, horses in bis private conveyance. Toney'a li^ht and airy remark upset the major completely, and he was on the point of venting his rage on him when who of all others should come stroll ing out'but tho commanding officer himself. He who had'won his stara for bravery and conspicuous serv ices from Perry vilie to Besaca cer tainly ought to know all about kites. The excitement on the parade was too much for the old gentleman, and dismissing "his orderly to dinner he raised his sun umbrella and remark ed to his excellent spouse, "I will go and show then' how to put m>va kite." The very idea seemed, to make him young again, and he threw out his chest and squared, his shoulders as if he were. ftom?" tor take a new lease of life; * He joined the group around the kite, and Major Jtuffy braced himself pompously and sa luted with an air which plainly said, "I'll stand me ground, be gad, sir if, "How do you* do, Mr. Buckerr" said the general blandly. "I see that your kite doesn't work right, and"? "It will be all right in a moment, sir. I have sent to the troop tailor for more tail." "But, Mr. H?cker, when I was a), boy"?he; retires for old age "next year?"w? "never made -long , tails. You just split the. plac?s you have and tie some knots them. Then shorten up the bridle and make her stand bo"? "Just what I told the general,? said the major eagerly, "and he in sulted me, sir! Yee, tor; this ^onng fellow that has not been in the serv ice ten years, sir, asked me what did I know about kites, sir!" Now, Major Stuffy had been avoid ing the general ever since ho had re ceived the communication about tho horses and bad even declined invi tations to several garrison affairs for fear of meeting him, but ho was greatly soothed when the general turned aiid said: "Why, major, I am astonished, sir I Mr. Backer, what do you rnear, sir, by speaking to Major.Stuffy in this way, sir? Ah old man and val ued officer of your. regiment, too, tir! I will not alloiv such things in my garrison, sir !" "But, general, I did not intend to hurt the mask's Jeejines., I guess I don't know much about lrites^any way, boys, so yen take itY out behind the barracks and fly it to suit your > selves/' said Toney iri a hopeless kind of way. 'It will not go up unless you change the bridle, as suggested by the Tnajd?1/' o a id'the general. "And split the tall and knot it, as the general explained* boys/' said tTonijs'lefb ?be two old veterans, and as ho entered the bachelors' quarters he was muttering maledic tions on the /'old duffers* who had spoiled all his plans, V The sudden disappearance of To ney* am the . boys left the two old gentlemen, along on the parade,'and the whole garrison was enjoying their dilemma. The general hc.u med and hawed a moment and said: "By the way, major, about that horse order, you Imow these young lieutenants have an idea that they can use ambulances and government animals whenever they chooKe, and I am determined to teach them a . lesson. Of course I did not intend fi the order to hold in y our case. Some consideration must be shown to long and valuable service, sir, and I want yon to understand this matter." Major Stuffy extended His hand warmly to the general and said: '-f "I am glad you mentioned it, gen eral, but of course I understood the matter perfectly. These young snips are too presumptuous anyway v and think they are entitled to all the consideration due old officers." One of these "young snips" was struggling to pay up the bills con tracted when his daughter was mar ried and another was incessantly engaged in short division in the ef fort to provide for the wants of his four boy*3. The two veterans strolled away together in the direction of the club room, followed by several officers from the row who were interested in the reconciliation. As the major threw open the door and followed the-general in he smiled benignant ly on the old habitues and said, "Come, gentlemen, join us in a bot tle ot wine." Of course the invita tion was accepted, for since the ma jor h?d qujt going on lilcie "frolics/' as he called them, in deference to the temperance ideas of the young snips, all recognized this as some special occasion. The major busied himself seeing that "Tubs" neg lected no one and talked in the most amiable way about the magnificent weather and fine, post the general had built up. "This reminds me of old days in Texas, gentlemen, when the dra goons"? he was saying when^his Loyal Legion button fell off "and Tolled into a convenient knothole under the billiard table. Before he recovered from his efforts to secure the rolling button the general, with the air of Sir Roger de Coverley, re moved his own little emblem and said: ''Major, let me present yon with this as a memento of this most pleasant occasion." -: ^ArJThile /the major was ,still, .qyer corae by this graceful mote the gen eral wished them all a pleasant lame , and escaped to hiss quarte*. . *;The' j nev/s spread around th'pt th'e major was. having a bit thcUv^- a?fd?. j??n Toney Ruck?r put away his- wrath when the orderly came to ask his presence at the clubroom. ' Tubs", .was kept busy during the afternoon attending to the spiritual needs of the ever increasing party, for with each new arrival the major would say: "What ? fine gentleman the general is! It was thq. neatest thing yon ever raw, s1r4 'why, he actually, took his bnttqjh from his own breast and presented it to me, by gad and we will drink to his health, gentlemen!" That evening as the major and Toney, arm in arm, wended their winy way to their quarters they passed young Dawdle on the walk ivith the captain's wife's sister mak ing hay while the field was clear. ~\ ? _ : - 4 ?.' ..

It fg Caused by Nerve Action on the Blood Circulation. Not every one would consider that j to blush indicates special intelli fenc? ; yet blushing is an' eminently uman attribute, and Darwin says that "it would require an over whelming amount of evidence to make us believe that any aniinal could blush. Idiots, too, rarely blush." . It is a fact that the nerves have an effect even on the circulation of the blood, and the very pulse at our wrist is not due only to the heart throbs, but to an organism called the vsso motor system?threadlike nerves distributed to the walls of the blood vessels and making a reg ular pulsing motion as they force the blood along, m These blooo; vessels are related closely both to the cerebro spinal and the sympathetic systems; hence the reason for the effect of sudden shock, of the pallor produced by fear, the crimson blush of shame and the flush of rage. These are really psycho phenomena and indi cate the remarkable vascular changes caused by feelings of the mind. Blushing really is a sort of mo j'mentary paralysis or suspension of the vuso motor nerve influence, and the opposite emotion of fear either stimulates the contractors of the tiny capillary vessels or sometimes permits the action by suspending thg cerebral influence. ? Philadel phia Bulletin. A Hungry Man's Dreams. One of the worst evils attending penal eervitude is said, to be the nunger* which assails a man with a healthy appetite during the first few months or years of his imprison ment. A man who has just done a long term for forgery says : I used to go to bed every night pinched by hunger. I began dream ing of banquets and would have thought nothing strange about it had not the same dream como to me every night. The banquet was al ways the same, in the same place, and I always had the same place at the table. The exasperating thing about it was that just as the first course was offered I always awoke, so that even in my dreams I was not permitted to taste of tbe munificent spread which was nightly presented to me in my sleep. I dreaded to gd to bed because the dream tortured me. It only made me the hungrier, and then I' understood; the agony of Tantalus, the fabled hero who was tortured with thirst and to whose lips the waters were ever coming and reced ing just as he was in the aefc-of tak ing a drink. Work of the Plodders. If we wero to examine a list of the men who have left their mark on the world, we should find that, as a rule, it is not composed of those who were brilliant in youth or who gave great promise at the outset of their careers, but rather of the plod ding y rung men who, if they nave lnbt dazzled by their brilliancy, have had the power of a day's work in _ them, who eoald stay by a task un-1 til it was done and well done; who have had grit, persistence, common sense and honesty, says Success. It is the steady exercise of these or dinary, homely virtues, united with average ability, rather than a de ceptive display of more, showy qual ities in youth, that enables a man to achieve greatly and honorably. So if we were to attempt to make a forecast of the successful men, of the future we should not look for them among the ranks of the smart boys, those who think they know it j all and are anxious to win by a short route. Cooking Food by Cooling People who have experienced ex treme cold say that it is very similar to extreme heat. Any one who has ever picked up a piece of intensely cold iron knows . that the touch burns and blisters almost as badly as if the metal were red hot. This natural law has been made use of by clev?r chemists to cause cold to produce the same effect as heat. One has actually cooked meat by. placing it in ?nv?tmosph?re of 100 to 150 degrees F. below zero. When the meat* was removed, it was placed at once in airtight pans. It was after ward eaten and found to be very pal atable. _ Her Tribute to Love. They were three wee little maids, and they discussed the relative ac complishments of their respective parents. "My mamma has been abroad three times and can speak French just the same as American," boasted one, flipping back her curls. "My mother can play everything on the piano," said the second. ' The third looked dreamily across the fields. "I don't know that my mother can do anything," she said ilowly, "but, oh, she is such an aw fully good mother to mel"?Balti more Sun.

That Used to Roam the Western Prairies. In the forties, when the American Fur company was in the heyday' ox its power, there were sen$ frijm St. Louis alone in a single year JIOO,000 robes, and tho company bought only the perfect ones. Tho hyntcr.nsual ly kept an ample supply for hie own needs, so that for every robe bought by the company three times as many, were taken from the plains. St. Louis was only one port of ship ment. Equal quantities of robes were being sent from Mackinaw, De troit, Montreal and Hudson bay. A million would' not cover the number of robes sent each year in the for ties. In 18G8 Inman, Sheridan and Ouster rode continuously for three days through one herd in the Ar kansas region, and in 1869 trains on tho Kansas Pacific were held from 9 in the morning until 6 at night to permit the passage of one herd across the tracks. Army officers re late that in 1862 a herd that cov ered an area of 70 by 30 miles moved north from the Arkansas to the Yel lowstone. Catlin and Inman and army men and employees of the fur companies considered a drove of 100,000 buf faloes a common sight along the line of -the Santa Fo trail. Inman com putes that from St. Louis alone the bones of 31,000,000 buffaloes were shipped between 1868 and 1881.? A. C. Laut in Outing. ; Preparing For a Journey. Jerome K. Jeroine*zecalled with reverence a habit of his methodical uncle, who before pecking for a journey always "made a list." This was the system which was followed/ noted down from his un cle's own lips : Take a piece of paper and put down on it everything you can pos sibly require. Thenfgo over it and see that it contains nothing you can possibly do without. Imagine yourself in bed. What have you got on ? Very well; put it down, together with a change. You get up. What do you do? Wash yourself. What do you wash your self with? Soap. Put down soap. Go on till you have finished. Then take yovr clothes. Begin at your feet. What do you wear on your feet? Boots, shoes, socks. . Put them down. Work up till you get to your head. What do you want besides clothes F Put down every thing. , This is the plan the old gentle man always pursued. The list made, he would go over it carefully to see that he had forgotten nothing. Then he would go over it again and strike out everything it was possible to dispense with. Then he would lose the list. . Softening of the Brain. Although worry and disappoint ment are leading contributing causes of softening of the brain, the disease very commonly declares itself inde pendently of auch jonditiona and as the mere Result qf progressive in flammatory changes associated with other forms of continuous and ex acting mental strain. Not infre quently also the exact opposite is the case, as the malady is very com mon in the lower and nonintel lectual classes. All the varied phenomena of grad ual mental decline, numbed energy, paralytic seizures, incohereney of speech, aphasie attack .and. general Srogressive. weakness explain "the ying at the top," so dreaded by all. More distressing still is the fact, that tho general inflammation of the brain tissues, always present, is of Blow development, unrelentingly pro gressive and eventually fatal. Some times years elapse before the long desired end comes. Collars and Cuffs. It is difficult: when traveling abroad for both men and women to keep their collars and cufts clean, as one cannot take an unlimited supply of clothes, and it often is dif ficult to get things washed unless remaining at a place for several days. If the following plan is car ried out, collars and cuffs can be kept clean and fresh looking for days: Directly they begin to look Boded take the corner of a towel, dip it in cold water, , squeeze it well and ruri the collar or cuffs quickly and hard with it, being careful not to make them too wet; then rub, them with a dry part of the towel. After this they will look quite fresh md clean again without losing any )f the stiffness. They Enjoyed It. "And how did you like Switzer and?" Oh, immensely I It wan our first ri?it, you know."

"Let me put In my oar," said a gen tleinan as he joined three of bis ac quaintances in the hotel cafe the other night and took a seat at a table with them. "That Is about the twentieth meta phor of that sort that I have beard to night," answered one of the others, "and It seems so strange that we should borrow so many of our figures from the sea. I never thought of It be fore, but It is curious, t have never teen closely associated with the water, aal I don't believe any of us bave, and yet we are using sea terms all of the tlma They are wonderfully express ive, toOr and I don't know what we would do without them. "You want to put in 'your oar,' a mo ment ago soino ono talked about being all adrift,' and I admitted that I was ! *at sea.' Wo talk abqut our 'weather eye/ being 'spliced/ our 'mainstay' and all that sort of stuff.

"Wo 'spin a yarn,' try *tho other tack,' 'launch' enterprises, got them 'undo* full sail' and often 'wreck' them. We cry for 'any port in a storm,' take in a reef/ get to our 'rope's end,' 'run before the wind' and sometimes 'keel over.' So it gees on until I be lieve we can talk nbouJ- almost every thing in the language of the sea."?St ; Louis Republic. Cbooninff Minister. The parish kirk of Driechton bad been rather unfortunate In its minis ters, two of them having gone off in decline within a twelvemonth of thelr appointment, and now, after hearing a number of candidates for the vacancy, the members were looking forward with keen interest to the meeting at which the election of the new minister was to take place. "Weel, Market," asked one female parishioner of another as they fore gathered oa the road orte day, "wha are you groin to vote for?" "I'm just thlnkln' I'll vote for none o' them. I'm no' muckle o' a judge, an' it'll be the safest plan," was Mar gef s sagacious reply. "Toots, woman, if thaf s the way o't vote wi' me." "An' hoo are you gaun to vote???

This appears to have been a popular dish among the Greeks. To us it seems about as nice aa an oyster eaten with brown sugar. Aristophanes mentions a thirum of salt fish nnd a thirum of fat In the "Progs" there la a dismal joke in the form of a reasonable objection made to leaping from a high tower, "I would lose two fig leaves of brain." The word occurs no less than twelve times in the fragmenta of the comic poets. rfbo Cobweb. A. story was told the other day of a little girl who discovered a cobweb and then, seeing a spider emerge from it called out: "See the cob run I How fast the cob runs!" As a matter of fact she builded better than she knew, for cob, or cop, is, according to the dic tionaries, the name sometimes given to a spider; whence the word cobweb, which b, strictly speaking, copweb. Cop in this sense is probably an abbre viation of the Anglo-Saxon attercoppe, a spider. _ Odd Reeorda. Records are kept with knotted cords in Polynesia. During the early part of the nineteenth century and previously the official taxgatberers.on the island of Hawaii, in the Sandwich group, did all their accounts on a rope 2,400 feet long, which, waa divided into lengths, each corresponding to a district Loops, knots and feathers tied along the rope served as memoranda for the hogs, pigs and pieces of sandal wood col lected from taxpayers.

"Ever see a waiter wearing glasses?' demanded the Inquisitor. No one could remember, although Just Why a waiter should not be seen with glasses as well as any other man was not apparent. "If s just like the wearing of beards," went on tho inquisitor. "The proprie tors of our important hotels, restau rants and cafes will not permit either beards or glasses to'be worn by their waiters. It Is possible that In some old fashioned family or commercial hotel tho servitors may bo found with their noses straddled by optical helps, but you won't find 'em along Broad way. "Now, this is a fact worthy of noto because in every other calling in life tho number of persons wearing glasses is on tbe increase, and even In our schools a considerable percentage of very small children will be found wearing glasses, and while, as I say, hotel, restaurant and cafo proprietors are opposed to the glusses, still I have seldom found a waiter whose eyes In dicated that be was In tbe slightest need of them.
