THE SOLDIER OF ' 76.
Ill * IVnn Not n Military Klmire , but
i HeViiH HITectlve.
GeneVal.lohn Thomas wan the com
mander of the provlhrlal troops when
they occupied 'South Boston , lie was
an Intinlatc friend of Washington and
was regarded as one of the host olll-
ccrs of' the little army. Ills military
career , however , was short , for In 1770
he died of smallpox.
The post which Thomas was ordered
to occupy was at the top of a Hoxhury
hill , the approach to which was plain
ly visible from Boston. The general's
troops consisted of only 700 men , hut
when the army took up Its position ho
marched the line round and round the
hill , multiplying many times the ap
parent size of the regiment.
In some respects the scornful appella
tion of "ralihlo" given by the British
to Thomas' division was appropriate to
the provincial troops stationed on the
hilltop. The social equality and fa
miliarity which existed at home be
tween the otllcers and 'privates con
tinued In camp.
"Bill , " said a captain to a private ,
"go and bring a pall of water for your
mess. "
"I shan't , " responded Bill. "It's your
turn now. I got the last one. "
The appearance of the troops was
against them also from a military point
of view. The soldier of ' 7(5 ( was a
grimy figure , his head wrapped In an
old bandanna handkerchief , pipe be
tween teeth , leather breeches , yarn
stockings and hobnailed shoos , but it
was a company of those uncouth sol
diers who t'ai'tltlod Dorchester heights
In a single night to the wonder aud ad
miration of the British army.
A STORY OF HAWKINS.
One Incident In the Cnrrer of the
KiiKlUh ruliitrr.
The Kngllhh painter Hawkins tu
twenty years of ago was the center of
acclamation. Hut at the close of his
life he Is described as having lived In a
fool's paradise , content with himself
and fattening on the empty praise he
had won. llils mischief lay hi the fact
that he was an excellent boon compan
Ion. On one occasion ho wus asked by
a Mr. Ackers , a member of parliament ,
to accompany him and one or two oth
ers to Paris , Uie host promising to give
him a holiday mid pay all his expenses.
Hawkins objected. "I'm busy on a
picture. " said he , "and 1 want to llnlsh
It for exhibition. "
"Never mind that , " returned Ackers.
"Bring It with you and paint It there. "
lluwklns yielded , as ho always did In
the end , and the picture was put Into
the carriage.
As they were driving along Mr. Ack
ers asked to bo allowed to look nt It
and when It was uncovered he said
"What do you want for It ? "
"I shall want M for It when It's tin
Ished , " answered Hawkins.
"Very well , " returned the member ol
parliament. "I'll give It to you , and I'l
tlulsh the picture for you too. " Will
that ho kicked a hole through the can
vas , and the artist was thus set fret
for an undisturbed jolllllcatlou.

THAN A CRICKET.
The Croiitnre 11 Tntoi4 Dcncrlhod anil
KM Final'Idiatllloatlon. .
One of the tutor * at a great universi
ty , according to the "Dundee Advertiser ,
wrote to the leading newspaper of the
city to the following effect : "Walklni ;
In the dusk through the grounds of tlu
university the other evening , my at
tention was arrested by a low mur
muring sound near mo which was nei
ther a hiss nor n whistle. On looking 1
saw a creature lying on the ground ,
larger than a cricket. Two antennae-
like protuberances projected above tlia
eyes. It had no wings , and the cov
ering of Its body was variegated ,
though certainly not like down. Mind
ful of the danger to myself , I did not
Venture to turn It on Its back so as to
count the logs. On the ground lay a
Bhiall quantity of snow white sub' '
glance which evidently exuded froin
the body. Can any of your readers
identify the creature from this Imper
fect description ? "
The government naturalist fell lute
the trap baited probably specially for
him. lie wrote learnedly about vari
ous Insects and concluded that the dun
observed must b& one of two whoso
long Latin names he gave. The an
tennae-like protuberances are used for
burrowing In the ground , and these In-
stats secrete n fluid which they have
the power of ejecting to protect them
selves In case of attack. The tutor
wrote again to thank the naturalist for
his Information and to say he need not
trouble him further , as 1m had fortu
nately observed the creature again
more closely under exactly similar cir
cumstances and was able now to Iden
tify It himself as the Vacca vulgarls.

A TrouhlcHiiiiie Creditor.
The poet Clement Mnrot , being In
very straitened circumstance- * , went to
the king and said , " 1 have come to lay
before your majesty a complaint
against one of my creditors whose
claims I have satisfied over and over
again , and yet he persists In dunning
iind harassing mo at every opportu
ally. "
"Who Is the scoundrel'/ " the king In
quired.
"My stomach , sire. Though I have
satlstlod Its wants time without num
ber , It never ceases to torment , and I
am Utterly Incapable of meeting Its de
mands. "
The king was pleased with the Joke
and allowed the poet a pension on the
spot.

The migration of birds by daylight
has received a grc'it deal of attention
on the part of naturalists and bird
lovers generally , but the passage of the
feathered orentim' < during the night Is
Htlll a matter for considerable specula
tion and Ihcnrl/lng.
That birds do ( ravel by night Is not
disputed. Then how do they guldii
themselves over the long stretches ol
land and sea which separate their sum
mer ami winter homesV In the dark
ness they can scarcely distinguish
those figurative mllosumos which are
said to servo us guides by day. Their
vision may be keen , but It Is dllllcult to
believe that the birds do "gn by" those
same guides at night , especially as
they are often between two and three
miles aloft , says Homo Notes.
The suppo-iltlou Is that these crea
tures , like human mariners , shape their
course by the stars. Whether they can
distinguish the various planets or con
stellations or how they do It can at
present only be conjectured , but the
theory receives support 'from the fact
that when the stars are obscured by
high clouds the birds come nearer to
earth and appear to bo disconcerted.
The thought that those small holugs
can lly through space and have their
routes mapped out by the Innumerable
astral bodies that stud the universe Is
full of slgnlllcance.
ACTORS IN CHINA.
They Cet HlKh Salaries mid Arc Aide
to Live In Luxury.
China Is the actor's paradise. There
arc thousands of actors In the empire ,
and the "top notchers" earn considera
bly more In proportion than actors oven
In this country of high salaries. A na
tive actor will earn , If he Is a first rat"
man , as high as $1,800 a year , and
while this money Is Insignificant com
pared to our princely pay lists it will
procure comforts and luxuries to a
native In China that could not be du
plicated here for fifty times the
amount. There Is a national actors'
club with 110,000 life members , and
there Is a special gid In the temples to
whom all good Chinese Thespians pray.
It Is very dillicult to acquire the title
of "actor" In China. The pupil Is
obliged to study throe years as a su
per , and one more year Is required to
give him the finishing touch. The pu
pil must learn by heart a repertory of
about fifty different plays , and the rest
of his life Is spent In acting these plays
without the slightest chance of ever be
ing permitted to learn new ones. The
Idea is that an "actor , " as such , must
riot condescend to learn , which Is llt-
tlug only to jui apprentice , but an ac
tor may without Injury to his dignity
teach worthy pupils what ho himself
learned as a pupil. Chicago Chronicle.
THE STEAM RADIATOR.
V . . I
If It Iloexii't Give KiKMiKli Heat Turn
the Fun on It.
There are a good many rooms where
the radiator Is either too small or the
steam pressure Is too low to maintain
a comfortable temperature in severe
weather. If the tenant Is enjoying the
station electric lighting service the
matter can easily bo remedied. Take
an electric fan and set It where It will
blow against u large part of the radia
tor's surface. Turn It on at a low
speed or at high If necessary , and your
cold room will soon be thoroughly
warmed. The philosophy of the thing
Is that steam nt a low pressure carries
much loss latent heat than steam at a
high pressure and therefore warms Hie
radiator so poorly that only a slight
draft of air rises around the pipes , ami
condensation Is slow. With the fan In
operation there is n forced draft
against the radiator that conducts a
great deal more heat away from the
Iron , cooling it so that much condensa
tion of steam occurs Inside It. The
heat thus snatched from the reluctant
radiator Is hoKl In the circulating at
mosphere of the room , which Is soon
changed from cold to warm at a tri
lling cost for electric energy. Pitts-
burg Press.
The Man \Vlth the fJrlevaiiee.
I suppose that there never was such
a nourishing time as the present for
men with a grievance. The dally and
weekly journals eagerly welcome let
ters complaining of the increase of
corpulence , the pitfalls of the split In-
llnltlvo , the prevalence of the red tie
among the lower middle class , the care
lessness of the younger generation In
dotting Its 1's and other equally dread
ful abuses which do not matter one
way or another. If one were not an
Incorrigible optimist one would be In
clined to agree with the writers of
these letters , who are for the most part
men of enforced leisure and Idle hands ,
that Kngland Is rapidly about to de-
clluo and fall. London World.
Tlic TTRnnv nI Climate.
One peculiarity of the Transvaal cli
mate Is that while being very healthy
It yet has the effect of making people
appear far older than they really are.
The rarcfled air la popularly supposed
to be responsible for this. An ICngllRh-
woman of thirty-live who has lived In
the country districts for any lengthy
period Invariably appear * far older
than she really Is. Womanhood.

I . Mlniilou nf the Children.
. \ think. If there was never any-
-.i.ug anywhere to be seen but grown-
n.i men and women , how we would
l.i.ig fir the sight of a little child ) v
Kvery Infant comes Into the world like
a delegated prophet , the harbinger and
herald of good things , whoso olilco In
to turn the fathers' hearts to the chil
dren and to draw the disobedient to
the wisdom of the Just. A child softens
nnd purllles the heart , warming It and
molting It by Its gentle presence ; It
enriches the soul by now feelings and
awakens within It what Is favorable
to virtue ; It Is n beam of light , n
fountain of love , a teacher whose les
sons few can resist. Infants recall us
from much that engenders and encour
ages Koltlshness , that free7.es the af
fections , roughens the manners , Indu
rates the heart. They brighten the
homo , deepen love , Invigorate exertion ,
Infuse courage and vivify and sustain <
the charities of life. It would bo n
r
terrible world , I do think , If It were
not embellished by llttlo children.

brought back a sample of the happy-
go-lucky wit of the Irish "Jarvoy" or
driver. In a breakneck race down a
hill ho suddenly realized that the spir
ited llttlo Irish marc was running
away.
"Pull her up ! " he shouted excitedly.
"Hold tight , your honor , " returned
the Jarvey easily.
"Pull her up ! " again commanded the
traveler , making a grab for the reins.
"For your life don't touch the reins , "
the Jarvey answered without tighten
ing Ills grip. "Sure , they're as rotten
as pears. "
Tile traveler made ready to Jump ,
but the Jarvey laid a soothing hand on
Ills shoulder.
"Sit easy , " ho said reassuringly. "I'll
turn her Into the river nt the brldgo
below here. Sure , that'll stop her. "

"A number of years ago , " said a Cali
fornia man , "I was traveling In that
desolate part of South America known
as Patagonia , n region I do not care to
visit a second time. Among its cu
rious phenomena I distinctly remember
the clouds of dragon ( lies which arc to
bo seen on the barren plains. These
Insects fly before the strong winds
that blow from-the Interior nnd rush
through the nlr as though in terror of
the gale which they precede. Nearly
nil are blue , but uow and then one is
scon of n brilliant scarlet color. You
encounter n storm of these ( lies with
out any warning of their approach , the
\
air a few feet above the ground being
darkened by them , and men and horses
in their path become absolutely cov
ered with them. They are larger
somewhat than the ordinary dragon
fly , being about three Inches lu length. "

ANIMAL PHOTOGRAPHY.

"The hardest of wild animals to pho
tograph Is the kangaroo , " said the zoo
camera expert. "He IB constantly hop
ping around , getting out of range and
focus , and his color Is of that dark ,
neutral tone that requires long expo
sure to get the details. The leopard 13
a restless creature , ami It Is hard to
catch him Just right. When the animal
Is alert he makes an example of brutfl
beauty that Is wortu preserving.
"But the monkey makes the camera
artist earn his wages. He Is u half hu
man chap , with a sense of humor all
his own. He Is as full of humor and
mischief as a healthy boy. As the mon
key Is mischievous , BO Is' the lion proud
and is easily the leader among the
vain animals. He is the zoological
Beau Brummel. The lion rather fan
cies the camera expert and whenever
one comes In view will settle down Into - f
to a graceful pose and keep It until the
operator turns away. A camera seems
to terrify the tiger. At tlrst ho looks nt
It In quiet amazement. When the op
erator draws nearer the look of won
der gives place to one of annoyance
and the pressed back ears give token
of anger.
"The problem of perpetual motion la
almost solved by the hyena. It has a
homely face , wide at the top and point
ed at the bottom , and has incaiiuess
and treachery written In every line.
About the only way to secure a good
picture in his case Is to tie him fast so ,
that he cannot move a Jot. Even then
results are not entirely satisfactory. "
The IIorrnrH of War.
In his diary of the campaign of 1SCO
the Kmperor Frederick of CJermany
wrote : "It Is a shocking tiling to rldo
over a battlefield , and It Is Impossible
to describe the hideous mutilations
which present thomsolves. War Is re
ally something frightful , and those who
create It with a Btroko of the pen , sit
ting at a green cloth table , little dream
what horrors they are conjuring up. " /
Bismarck once expressed himself to \
the snmo effect nnd added : "Had It not
been for mo there would have been
three great wars the less , the lives of
80,000 men would not have been sacri
ficed , and many parents , brothers , sis
ters and widows would not now bo
mourners. That , however , I have sot-
tied wlUi my Maker ! "

There is one sum expressed by the
Arabic numerals upon which the Amor- 1
lean and the English mathematicians
have never been able to agree , the es-
act number of naughts to bo used In
expressing the sum of 1,000,000,000. In
this country ns well as in France ami
several other European nations n bil
lion Is a thousand millions and Is ex
pressed with a figure 1 and nlno
naughts thus , 1,000,000,000. In Eng
land , however , they speak of n billion
as being "a million millions" and In
writing It with Arabic characters al
ways use a figure 1 and twelve uaughta
thus. 1.000.000.000.000.
