"He fell .rough th ice and na body was not re covered for three day afterwards." "That reminds me," said the old warrior, Or Wlien 1 IJClODgL'U IU juo uaunuion Rifle. Tho regiment was out route marching and we wcr crossing me ivivcr Hudson when one of our party, named Jack Itawline, fell through a hole in the ice that had been cut for fishing. We all thought he was a goner, but the stream wa so rapid that it carried him about half a mile down the th river and he bobbed up serenely again through a a man-hole.- I hurried to his assistance, but just as I arrived at the spot the dgea of the ice, to which he was cling ing, struck together at the moment, when through weakness he was again disap pearing. As the jagged edges met they cut hi head clean off his body. The head and neck left a bloody trail on the ice as it sped awil'tiy along and me after it. About two hundred yard further down, the body that had been carried by the stream at the same rate of pro gression as the head, appeared again, and ship on top of the shoulders clipped the head and neck, and it being intensely cold it immediately froze in its original position. I seized the- Ivdy before it could again disappear and hauled it out of the river. In about a half an hour I reached the barracks with my burden and placed it before a roaring fire: Jack soon thawed out and showed signs of reviving when, before I could s.top him. he caught hold of his nose, in the usual vulgar manner, with hi forefinger and thumb, and as he blew it, his head enme off and he threw it in the fire-grate. I tried to fix the bead in place again, after poking it out of the coals, but the connecting ligaturrs vere so burned that the task was impos sible.

THE DECLINC "eplorbl Chair Den of J The signal deteri has for some tune Ix j called good society is inoro glaring and n ti cate and subtle de but i tleman used to pay to ev e. i she was a woman and for whatever, is already id" , promises shortly to become obsolete. No woi'ian now thinks of expecting from any man the polite homage which once on a time was the privilege of one sex and the honor of the other. Men come into a room full of ladies with as much indifference and sans f aeon as though they were entering; the morn ing room of their club, and quit it with pre cisely the same want of ceremony and self constraint. While in the society of women they loll, lean, and almost lie at their ease, as though they were in the bosom of their own family indeed, with a free and easy grace Jeesness that a generation ago no gentleman would have permitted himself among his most intimate relatives. In the first ap proaches of members of one sex to members of tho other, there is no longer any suavity, any hesitation tny well bred reserve; men and women who scarcely know each other act as though thoy were hail-fellow-well-met, had been in the playground together, and been acquainted all their lives. Tho demeanor of women, nowadays, to men is on a par with the male behavior we have described. Far from resentinfcjthe un ceremoniousness with which they arotreated by men who are in reality utter strangers to them, they goto meet it half way, and per mit themselves to be on a foot of familiarity cs far as manner is concerned with the tirst comer, provided he see. js to be one of their "own set," that could not bo greater if their acquaintance had existed for years. Tho same ,ldon't-care-a-hang" conduct is per ceptible in the conduct of visitors and guests to their host and hostess. The notion that people aro to bo specially honored in their own houso3 has gone quite out of fashion No one nowadays is so an tiquated in bJ ideas as to suppose that hos pitality is t4o regarded as a favor conferred on the person to whom it in extended. On the contrary, it is the guest who confers an obligation by paying a call, accepting an in vitation to dinner, or paying a country visit, and who has a perfect right to indulge in frank and free censure to his neighbors in case ho does not find everything to his liking 'in tho establishment ho condescends to li-L-tinguish by his preseneo. In a word, gucVw novada3's treat hosts and hostesses as men treat women that is to say, as persons whom it i3 very good and amiable of them to no tice at all. And where people really know each other intimately, tho behavior of men to women, and vice versa, is such as would havo appalled the leafc ceremonious of our fathers. "Women call men by their surname, without tho prefix of Mr., or even by their Christian names, abbreviated to suit the cur rent taste for slansf. And it is not shop girl3 or grocers' young " meD whdq this, but Ja dies and gentlemen in good!ety. JLondoD Standard. Sir. AT. W. Corcoran' TlusinesS Methods. Mr Hyde, the white haired, gray whis kered, rosy faced, blue eyed gentleman who has for forty years acfed as the late Mr. XY. W. Corcoran's private secretary, tf lis me that Mr. Corcoran's last business act was tu signing of a real estate transfer. lie says his mind was perfectly clear up to within a few days of his death, and that his business faculties were never more acute. "He had," said he, "a wonderful mind and very quick perceptive faculties. He decided iiistiittly on any matter which came before him, and though he sometimes mado mistakes ho sel dom doubted his judgment at the time. He had not good business habits as regarded the care of bis own books. He kept the books of others all rights but not his own." I here looked at 6omo ct Mr. Hyde'smeth ods, and they were interesting as showing how a fortune of millions has been managed. Not a scrap of business paper is allowed to go to waste, and all of Mr. Corcoran's checks and fpoeipfg for years back have been num bered. Hw pri-yaj s-jpretary gave a receipt while I was present, and I n.te.4 that )ts number was in the twenty-seven thousands. I was shown check books that ran up in their numbers to over 25,000, and Mr. Corco ran, after he had used up one check book, did not begin a nesjQi rubor with the new toctA, hilt went on until the numbers have now reached ho teA of thousands. These receipts and checks ate fi&cctyUj labeled in packages of 100 and laid awa'y in u.i manner that they can be referred to in an jlnstanL It is the same with the other books; ail arAhprcughJy systematized. Mr. Corco ran not long ago vk na into his office here and said: "I want very much to kno wfaiift I ordered some wine of in France about five years ago." His private secretary, with this Jnrlefioite request, at once turned to his book labeled .Wine;n ran down a few pages and camo to the date and found tha purchase. It was the same with other matters, and Mr. Corcoran had in this way a perfect business diary kept for him. Frank G. Carpenter in New York World. OfOffih Pf Speech In a Child. The babe's first erios are purely instinctive and therefore purely animal. Its consonants are ra and b, labia?s and liquids, used with the open vowels. It does not use the genial tubercle, nor for many weeks the frontal brain. Its second list of sounds moves further back and are g, goo, gutturals of the simplest ort, We have to bear in mind that the babe organically jfwllows historic evolution and is an epitome of past; progress. So also in his speech he moves on and over the pathway of the past and reviews it alL An intelligent child expresses approbation and disapprobation by the same sounds that are used -by adult monkeys. The savage hardly uses cerebrated sounds at alL The refinement of language has sjer consisted in eliminating the animal inheritance. TU.J pbijd's use of gestures is also inherited. Ho does not psec to learn to use his hands; only to 6ecure muscular sUength to direct them. Jli rlay is at first purely animal fi-olic, f Or lolling jn shouta and shrieks that later ho tlocs not find necessary to his enjoyment.
