At tho taking of Moscow while the
troops sat in their saddles under u mur
derous tire Murnt, Xnpoleon'ri dashlug
chief of cavalry, received u dispatch to
which an answer was required. Though
his mettlesome horse wiih trembling,
Murnt laid the reins upon the horn of
the saddle, took his notebook In one
hund nnd n pencil In the other and be
gan to write u response. Suddenly n
shell fell nnd exploded on the ground
close by. The horse leaped Into the nlr
nnd swung wildly around. Murnt sim
ply transferred the pencil to the hand
that held the notebook, calmed the
horse with the other hand and then
went on writing his dispatch us if
nothing had hupneucd. A .shout of ad
miration went up along the line. Murnt
saw that the enthusiasm aroused by his
trifling act had created u favorable mo
ment for u charge. He gave the order,
and his men swept clear through the
enemy's line.

The free and easy manners of the
political and literary friends with
whom Burke associated are exhibited
by a personal anecdote. Ho often ask
ed his friends to sup on beefsteak or
n leg of mutton. One night the house
sat late, nnd Burke brought home to
supper Fox nnd two or three more of
tho Whig politicians. Mrs. Burke's
face told of the 111 provided larder.
"Surely," said the host, unswerlng his
wife's look of annoyance, "there's beef
enough!"
Fox nnd unother gentleman, seeing
the state of affairs, hurried off to u
tavern, where they obtained such
dishes us could be purchased. Amid
much laughter, they returned nnd set
the table with tho food they had for
aged, Burke called them the nuwt
skillful of waiters, and there wns an
amusing, satisfactory supper.

One of the oddest stories In 'the "Bes
tiaries," or stories of Bible animals
written by the monks, Is the legend of
the panther. "The panther," so the
homily runs, "Is the most beautiful of
nil beasts. More than this, when it
goes abroad it diffuses a marvelous
sweet perfume. This odor Is so sweet
that all the other beasts aud birds fol
low the panther wherever It goes.
Wherefore the panther is a type of vir
tue." Perhaps the old monks who bor
rowed and embellished this story had
heard of and misunderstood the strong
love of sweet scents which the panther
and its relations, the lions and leop
ards, often show. London Spectator.

It has been seriously asserted by
many people that we are naturally
lighter after a meal, nnd they have
even gone tho length of explaining this
by the amount of gas that Is developed
from the food. Average observations,
however, show that we lose .' pounds (5
ounces between night and morning;
that we gain 1 pound 11! ounces by
breakfast; that we again lose about 1-1
ounces before lunch; that lunch puts
on an average of a pound; that we
again loe 10 ounces, but that an ordi
nary dinner to healthy persons adds 2
pounds U ounces to their weight.
