Ad Officer ta the Militia. Dil it un r oceur to you," Haiti a West Point gnuJuat und a national guanla man tlieotrtr day, "what it uueaiis to be a injular cflicer in the national guard? SouH'thiiifi quite different, 1 uwure you, from beiiiK a iM(j.mlar oliitxr in the regu lar army. Why? For this reason: In the army, if an officer takes care of his uini, sees that they get their clothing and pay promptly, looks out for their in terests in c-a.-e they are so unfortunate as to be locked up in the guardhouse, bo matter how 6trict a disciplinarian he may lie, or how he may make the men stand around, he will be popular with them. Dut here in tlie guard the rela tionship between officer and men is en tirely changed. The rank and lile, who are men that need no supervision of their personal affairs, exiect their officers to be 'good fellows' socially. "An officer need not be a strict disci plinarian to be very popular, but it is only fair to say that the majority of na tional guard officers, especially in some of our crack commands, have just as thorough au understanding of military requirements as regular army officers. Everything else being equal, therefore the popularity of the men may be com pared as that of a man among employees or among his club equals. 1 mention these facts to show how easily a regular army officer could fail to succeed in the guard, and, vice versa, how impossible it would be for a guard officer, whose easy going society ways are an essential part of his success in his rank, to make a name for himself in the army." Brook lyn Eagle. Pedigree 0f Boston's "Four Hundred." - "Every chap in Boston has been run ning for a pedigree lately," said a good natured son of the Emerald Isle yester day at the North End mission, "and some o them fellers up there on Bacon's Hill, as have been putting their names in the Foor Hundred lately, ought to be ashamed of theirselves for trying to de- save people. Sure, one of them that goes a strutting about with his eyeglass came from just the same stock as meself and has nearly blinded his two eyes looking for his name in the book of martyrs. "His grandfather and mine came over from the ould country in the ship Man anne about fifty years ago, wid the same intention of making a home. "Begorra, there was no aristocracy on board the Marianne, for he washed the dishes and me grandfather did chores around the vessel. "And ye should them now. Know me? - Faith, if there wasn't anybody else in the -city to know, they wouldn't know Tim Doherty. , "It's nothing but the ancientness of their families you hear of these days But we'll all be dead some time and then the families of all of us will be ancient enough to put 'in the Four Hundred." Boston Herald. Fraud Worth More Than the Original. The art frauds that have taken shape and substance, which remain to incnm ber the world as false coin ever circulat ing from hand to hand, are' of all times and periods. The archaeology of fraud even has become a science; some of the overt and acknowledged frauds them selves nave attained tne status or pre cious and coveted works, more valuable in the strange gyrations in the wheel of time than the originals they simulated. Michael Angelo's marble Cupid', for in stance which he made in secret, broke and mutilated, buried in a vineyard, and dug up again himself, all for the express "taking in" a certain cardinal, collector of antique marbles and contemner of modern art, is a case in point. If this particular Cupid could now be identified it would probably be worth more than the most beautiful genuine antique work of its kind which Italian soil still en shrouds. Nineteenth Century. Bleat and Water Diet Gives Strength. Sir Francis Head tried the diet of tho Pampas Indians, which consists of tho flesh of mares, for, these savages . eat neither bread, fruit nor vegetables. He say 8: After I had been riding three or four months, and had lived on beef and water, I found myself in a condition which I can only describe by saying that I felt that no exertion could kill me, although I con stantly arrived so completely exhausted that I could not speak; yet a few hours' sleep upon my saddle on the ground al ways so completely restored me that for a week I could daily be upon my horse before sunrise, could ride till . two or three hours after sunset, and have really tired ten or twelve horses a day. This will explain the immense distances which people in South America are said to ride, which I am confident could only be done on beef and water. - To Cat Glass with Shears. A sheet of glass a window pane for example can be cut as easily as a sheet of r cardboard, -.The secret consists in keeping the glass, the shears and the hands under water during the operation. The glass can be cut in straight or curved lines without a break or a crack. This is because the water deadens the vibrations of the shears and the glass. If the least part of the shears comes out of the water the vibration will be sufficient to mar the success of the experiment. L'Dlustration. A Candid Reply. , "Now be honest," said the second party to a horse deal, as he slipped the halter on his exchange. "Is the animal worth carrying home?" . . "No," replied the former owner frank ly, "he ain't, but he's worth leading home, if you're going in that direction." Kate Field's Washington. .America's 8en Wonders.

Does any one remember Byron's l moua plum pudding story? If.po, tl c Nikita plum pudding story may t ri. f them as somewhat of a parallel. V If " staying at St. Petersburg for Christiu th some English friends of the ywmv: singer, thinking to please her and ( gardless of the effects on her voice. : i her a monster plum pudding as a fir prise. Imagine her amazement an i trepidation when it was announced i 1 every morning paper that a large supposed to contain an infernal lan chine, directed to the young singer. Im : been deposited at the neaiest police na tion. A letter reached her from im authority there are many authontii about in St. Peterslmri' informing her j that thw IK,ii,.0 werw chary of oi'ii:!-j: the box, fearing it might be dange to their lives, but did kIio know of ;n one valiant enough tr attempt the d t . the box should be hers. Her impresario undertook to'die in tin attempt, and on arriving at tho policy station for that express purpose va somewhat relieved to find the huge pack age reposing quietly enough in a tank rf water. Now came the moment for the nntirimr nf tl f inrdiiin ktirtt.. and thero reposed, wrapped in linen within an earth enware bowl, the pudding dearest to the heart of Englishmen on the 25th of De cember as every year comes around. The police still refused to be satisfied. and insisted that the terrible thin might shroud a mysterious bomb. Afte a vast amount of probing and pronging the pudding was at length couveyed to its destination, and both it and tho 30k were heartily enjoyed by the Nikita party. Gentlewoman. A British Officer's Invention Captain Wilson, R. N., of the torpedo instruction ship Vernon,' has invented an appliance for cutting through the tor pedo nets with which modern warshipi protect. themselves from torpedo attacks. Tho experiments already made prove to the fullest extent the tremendous power of the new invention, which has fully realized all its originator claimed for it. The inventor of the torpedo net ridiculed the idea of any instrument being able to cut through his tough steel wire net ting. But the trial just made has proved the emptiness of his boast. The great momentum of the White head tonedo, armed with Captain Wil son's new torpedo cutters, enabled it to cut its way through any torpedo net, even when tho latter, was set an angle of 45 degs., without apparent retardation of its flight. The cutter consists of blade3 arranged scissor fashion, which sever the wire meshes of the net, mak ing an aperture sufficient for the en trance of the torpedo. Electricity. A Unique Theater. A stock company in Vienna is about to begin building a unique theater in one of the recently annexed districts, The cost is to be $250,000 or $300,000. The roof is to be a great rolling iron cur tain, after the style of iron curtains now used before shop windows, and on hot summer nights it is to be drawn aside so that the audience may be refreshed. With that arrangement the company expects to be able to carry out its plan to give a performance every evening in the year, or 422 performances annually. including matinees. The theater will accommodate 3,000 persons, and the highest price for a place outside of the boxes is to be only forty cents, although the heaviest classical plays and 'the works of the best modern dramatists are to be produced on its stage. Archi tecture and Building. .A Rubber Pavement. When I was in Germany a few years ago I was shown a street pavement that had been laid which was made of rub ber. It was almost noiseless, and some went so far as to say that if it proved successful otherwise it would do away with vehicle springs. The only objec tion made to the pavement was that it was feared it would be affected by the change of temperature. 1 saw a man the other day who had recently arrived from Germany, and he told me the pave ment of which I have spoken has proved to be a complete success. That it is not changed by cold or hot weather, and that it wears well even under the heaviest teaming. Interview in Chicago Tribune. A BUnd Black Eel. Mr. V. N. Edwards, of the United States fish commission, has obtained from Cuttyhunk pond a very singular eel. The eyes are entirely concealed under the skin and the color is uniform ly dark, almost black. In form and proportions it is like the common eel, and may prove to be merely a dark col ored blind example of this species. Trout and other fish become dark in color as a result of blindness, and this may be another illustration of a phe nomenon which is often observed by fish culturists. The length of the specimen is about thirteen inches. Forest and Stream. Everybody Was Mad. . Nate Cook, of Brownsburg," Ind., pur chased an old house, in which was stored a photographer's outfit. People curiously inclined broke into the house and examined the pictures, but carried nothing away. Cook was very much incensed, and he caused the arrest of eighteen or twenty of the very best peo ple of Brownsburg, charging them with trespass. The cases were afterward dis missed, but not until all Brownsburg was mad enough to wreak vengeance on everybody concerned in the prosecu tion. Philadelphia Ledger. A Hungry Eagle. One day last week Mr. P. C. Thorp shot a sea gull in the harbor of South port, N. C, but before the bird could be secured a large bald eagle, hitherto un noticed, swooped down and carried off the gull, soon disappearing with it in the direction of Fort Caswell. Paris Libraries.
