OFFICERS' CHARADE.
One of the Company Was an Expe
at the Game.
A general arrived from St Peter
bnrg In a garrison town In the Interl *
of Russia to hold an Inspection of tl
troops. After the review he steppe
Into the officers' mess room , where 1
noticed on the counter a row of bo
ties , to which , Instead of uaual label
white tickets , with a single letter <
the alphabet on each , were nfflxe
The bottles stood In rank and file at
In alphabetical order.
"What does this mean ? " the gener
asked the lieutenant who was sbo ;
Ing htm around ,
"That Is an officers' charade , yoi
excellency , " replied the officer , rath
embarrassed.
The general continued bis Inqulrii
and elicited the following Informatlo )
"Each bottle contains n dlfferci
bind of liquor. At the meeting of tl
officers' club one of us mixes some <
these varieties In a glassh BO that tl
Initials spell a name , and the odi !
and more experienced members of tl
club after tasting It guess what It
composed of and name the word 1
tended. "
"Very original Idea , " remarked tl
general. "And are you able to make
guess of that kind ? "
"If It Is your excellency's pleasure ,
will try , " the lieutenant replied.
The general went to the counter ar
mixed a glass , while the officer Btoe
at the other end of the room with h
face to the wall.
"Now , guess what this means , " sa ;
tbo general as ho handed the glass '
the officer.
The latter drank It at ono gul
smacked his tongue and replied :
"Tlint was 'Anna , ' your excellency
"Bravo ! " exclaimed the general. "
requires a lot of practice , eh ? "
"Your excellency , 'Anna * Is cat
enough , but there Is a captain In 01
corps who can oven guess 'Nebuchai
nezzar ! ' "
Repopulating Chinese Islands.

Nest Eggs.
Take a nlco fresh egg and separate
the whlto and the jolk so that the yolk
will not be broken. Put the white Into
a bowl , add a pinch of salt and beat
It until It Is very stiff. Have ready
some little bowl that la pretty enough
to put on the table , but that will not
break lu the oven. Pour into this the
stiff beaten white nnd make a little
hole In the middle of It with a spoon.
In this little hollow place the yolk ,
Gtlll unbroken. Set the dish lu a hot
oven and cook for three or four min
utes , or until the whlto has browned
a little and the yolk Is firm. There
must be a separate dish for each egg
that you cook In this way. Serv
right away. Delineator.
The Echo.
A little boy was amusing himself by
hallooing , then listening for the echo
"What Is the echo , nmmma ? " he asked. \
His mother attempted to explain , feel
ing all the while how inadequate her
explanation was. The little fellow
trotted along nt her side , silent for
some minutes. Then his eyes feC
upon his shadow.
"Oh. I kuow what echo Is , " ho ex >
claimed Joyfully. "It's the shadow ol
our voices. " Los Angeles Times.
A Palpable Hit.
"Now , sir. " demanded counsel foi
the defendant , "tell us what time this
alleged robbery took place. "
"You hnd better ask your client , " re
torted the plaintiff. "Ho had mj
watch ! "
WEBSTER AND CHOATE. ' .
The Latter Rapid Plre Maxim , th
Former a Thirteen Inch Gun.
"Probably no educational Institution
In our country has ever graduated two
more eminent and eloquent lawyora
than old Dartmouth college gave ua
In Danlol Webster and Ilufus Choato , "
Bays a writer In Our Dumb Animals.
"It was my privilege as a member of
the Suffolk bar to attend many years
ago the trial of ono of the most Im
portant cases of the year In our supreme
premo judicial court at Boston.
"On the two sides were arrayed
Bomo half a dozen of our most emi
nent lawyers , Daniel Webster and
Rufua Choate , as It happened , were on
the same sldo.
"A hostile witness was pat on by
the other side , some of whoso evidence
wna of the utmost Importance to Wob-
Bter and Choato , If It could bo ob
tained , and Choato undertook the task
of obtaining It No man nt our bar
had more profound skill In cross ex
amination , and the questions bo put
to the witness were like the flro of a
Maxim gun , but In every Instance ho
failed to got the evidence ho wanted
and finally sat down In despair.
"Then Webster , who had been Bitting
In his great armcbnlr , apparently about
half asleep , as though taking no Inter
est In tho-case whatever , slowly arose
to his foot , put his great eyes dn the
hostile'Witness , asked him In the most
serious tone a single question and
brought Instantly the required answer.
Then as quietly bo sat down and ap
parently went about half asleep again.
It was a scene photographed on my
mind , never to bo forgotten.
"The difference between Webster
nnd Choato cannot better bo explained
as it rests in my mind than to com
pare Choate to a Maxim gun raining
bullets of eloquence wherever he chose
and Webster to n great gun that can
send out n thirteen Inch shell to pene
trate an Ironclad.
"It wno wonderful to listen to
Choate > . I remember a case In which
an ordinary lawyer would have aim-
nlv said to the court that ha moved a
Little kJarbara'a Complaint.
Four-year-old Barbara went to church
with her two sisters und came home

"What fs the matter , dear ? " Inquired

"He preached n whole s-Bormon

Barbara , "ami never said a w-word
about me. " Llpplncott's.
