THE GENTLEMAN. Robert E. Lee's Definition of the Quali ties That Make Him. Lee hated parade. display and cere mony. hated above all things being made an object of publie gaze and adulation. ils idea of high position was high responsibility, a superior was simply one who had larger duties, and the mark of a gentlemn'i was a keen sense of the feelings and susceptibili ties of others. No one has ever ex pressed this attitude more delicately than he himself in this memorandum found among his papers after his death: "The forbearing use of power doe% not only form a touchstone, but the manner in which an individual enjoys certain advantages over others is a test of a true gentleman. The power which the strong have over the weak, the magistrate over the citizen, the employer over the employed, the edu cated over the unlettered, the experi enced over the confiding, even the clever over the silly-the forbearing or inoffensive use of all this power or au thority or a total abstinence from it when the case admits it, will show the gentleman in a plain light. The gen tleman does not needlessly and unnec essarily remind an offender of a wrong he may have committed against him. He cannot only forgive; he can forget, and he strives for that nobleness of self and mildness of character which Impart sufficient strength to let the past be but the past. A true man of honor feels humbled himself when he cannot help humbling others."-Gama liel Bradford. Jr., in Atlantic. SKIN OF A BADGER. So Loose the Animal Can Almost Turn Around In It. The pelt of an'adult badger is ex tremely thick and difficult for a biting adversary to penetrate, writes a trap per in Fur News, and so loosely does the skin cover the body that the animal is able to turu almost around in its hide. Should a dog acquire a hold on the throat the badger turns himself so that the dog's grip is on the back of the badger's neck without having loosened his first hold. Then the badger secures a viselike grip upon some vulnerable portion of his enemy, and while his long tusks penetrate to the limit he digs and scratches with his front feet, which are furnished with claws almost as formidable and deadly as might be expected from an anteater of the dark continent. He who has removed the pelt of a badger and is at all observing does not wonder at this animal being sharp bit ten and that be is able to hang with bulldog tenacity when the formation and adjustment of his jaws are noted. No'ither Is it so much of a mystery how lie manages to bore through the soil so rapidly that half a dozen men with shovels cannot orertake him, for be is -iass of cords and muscles, partic :!y in the neck. chest and shoulders. y similar in physical construction to ground mole. badger is chiefly valuable when it a long coat, so that the guard hairs be plucked and used to make shav brushes. - Alleghenies, the Andes, attest we~ wer of her activity in those days.
