Wild Dogs and the Tlge.

The wild k9 of India pursue a cun ning- but cowardly mot no.i or overcomliur their enemv.'the tisrer. Having found their tiger, they p. ceed to starve him until they have materially reduced his strength. Night and day thev form a cordon round the unfortunate beast and allow him no chance of obtaining food or rest; every time the tiger essays to break the circle this is widened as the pack nies before him. only to be relentlessly narrowed again when tho doomed ani mal la exhausted. After a certain period of this treatment the tiger falls a comparatively easy prey to his active and persevoriug enemies. This theory of their plan of attack, while it may detraet somewhat irom the wild dogs reputation toreourage, must add considerably to our esti mate of their intelligence. A Tonic that Quiets the Nerves.

BY MRS. M. CHAPTER IL Valerie, you will not leave me, dear?" "he question was put in a loving ten-do:.-tone. Valerie Ross turned her proud imperious head, she was standing: at on of the windows in tho lofty morn-injr-room o! Darrell f 'astlo. An old lady was seated at the table, glittering: with silver and costly china for the early meal: her hair was white, her face gentle, yet proud: sho smilod aa she met Valerie's dark eyes. "I shall he so lonelyy'she continued. "Then I will remain, dear Lady DarrelL To tell you the truth, 1 was beginning to lear I had extended my visit too long, and that you were tired of me." f-ady Darrell stretched out her slender white hand.and the tall beautiful form left the window and knelt at tho elder woman's feet. "Now, I shall scold you, Valeric How often have I begged for this visit and you would not come. Do you think I shall let you curtail it just when you like? Nd, no, my dear; I mean to have my way." Valerie bent and put her warm red lips to the white hand. "It is dull here, I fear, Valerie," Lady Darrell said after a pause; "espeieially these two next days while Roy and Eustace are away, but they wil soon pass." Valerie's face had flushed crimson: now it was very white aa she said simply: "1 am perfectly happy; I want no one bu"i vou." l-ady Darrell patted the soft coils ot hair that crowned the girl's head. It was glorious hair, of a warm ruddy, brown shade, that matched her eyes almost m color. The skin was exquisitely fair, tinted with a delicate warmth of rose on the cheeks, and rivaling the fairest marble bv it's Traritr. "You flatter, me, Valerie; but now to "breakfast. I hone, durinsr the day, to have some line from Roy, and I hope also that by this time they have set tled their little quarrel. Do you Know, Valerie, this is the first time I can ever recollect a coldness between Roy and Eustace; their friendship has been beautiful in its strength and warmin. ' Valerie rose iromner Knees aoruptiy; her back towards her hostess. ' Does Cant. Rivers ever stay with his mother'" she asked, speaking in a hard dry tone. lady Darrell did not seem to notice it: she laughed slightly. "Well, no, dear; I cannot savthat he does see much of her. Roy will havo him here. Eustace, of course, has to leave us frequently to join his regiment at the different towns where it is garrisoned, but beyond that, this is his hone." Valerie drew a sharp breath. "I often laugh at Roy, and tell him one of these days Eustace will marry, and then they must be separated: but itoy aoes not seem to tram: Eustace wil. ever take a wife, nor do I, for the matter of that." "Why?" asked Miss Ross quietly, taking her place at the table. "Well, because it is too selfish. Understand me, my dear. I am fond of Eustace Rivers. His father was my counn and friend, and I cherish the son for his sake, apart from his own. But a man to marry must give up. so much, and Eustace will give up nothing ." She was opening her letters as she spo ie, and did not see tie look of pain that crept over her guest's beautiful face. "Ah, here is a letter from Lord William; he is coming down to-day. I must tolSWfTh to tiny at onrft. How tiresome! What induced them to go to Nestley? I cannot understand it at. " "Lord Roysaid something about new harness for your ponies," observed Miss Ross, pouring some chocolate into a priceless china cup. "Ah." smiled Ladv Darrell. "then I seewhatitis. Roy has made that an excuse for eementinsr the friendship afresh. He thinks no one knows any thing about horses but Eustace." "Are von not jealous of this great affection?" asked Valerie suddenly. Liitdy Darrell s lace grow grave. "Roy is so precious to me, you know. Valerie. I might be jealous, dear, if I did aot love him so much; to seo to know he is happy is to me the height of all earthly bliss." "Oh, that I had had you for a mother!" cried the girl: involuntarily her pale beautiful head was bent. Lfcdy Darrell rose softly and kissed the young face. "look on me as such, dear Valerie, she whispered; "who knows perhaps " Her sentence was not finished, for the door was opened, and the butler advanced into tho room. "My lady, there's a park-keeper in the servant's hall begging to see you. We've told him it is impossible; but he will not go." JLsdy Darrell seated herself at the table again. "A Dark-keeDer. Chelmick!" she re peated. "What can he want?" "I don't know, your ladyship; but hell tell none of us anything only asks to see you, my lady." Miss Ross looked at her hostess, who smiled. "Some begginsr petition, I suppose. Well, Chelmick, I will break through my t ules for once, and see the man. Perhaps," continued Lady Darrell as the butler withdrew, "poor fellow, ho bas got into trouble oi some sort." "Jtle evidently knows where to apply for consolation' remarked Miss Ross. In a few seconds the butler returned. and ushered in a man dressed n the ordinary fustain worn by keepers, a look of trouble on his honest, comely iace. "Ah, Miles, so you want to see me? Well, speak out, I am quite ready." i t e man nesitatcd. "I beg pardon, my lady, but if I can speak to yon alone" Valerie rose. " will go into the next room," she said, and swept away. '.'I'ow, Miles," said Lady Darrell, quie"ly, though a vague sense of coming ill seemed to havo fallen on her. "My lady, I havo bad news to toll you. I came straight to you for 1 thought it best." "Go on," said the lady quickly, as he hesitated. "it'.y lady, this morning on mv way through the woods, I found I found Capt tin Rivers lying on the ground; at first I thought him dead!" A broken sob came from the next room, it fell unheeoed on Lady Darrell 's ears; she had risen and was grasping a chair with her slender white hands for support. "Dead!" she repeated blankly; "Eustace Rivers dead!" "There had evidently been a scuffle: it was out of the ordinary path, on the way to the Madman's Drift. Poor Capt. Rivers must have been Btablied, for there is blood about, but though I searched cvervwhere, I found no weapon only a basset containing broken eggs, which must have been dropped by some market man or woman in thoir fright, and and this." Lucly Darrell looked up. Her eves. distraught with anguish, fell on a silver cigarette case: with elaborate initials and crest engraved on it. "That!" she murmured hoarsely. "I brought it straight to you, my lady," the park-keeper said gently, laying it down. "I known it is belonging to to his lordship: it must have fallen from Capt. Rivers' pocket as he sank down to the ground." There was a moment's silence. yeist hnje you you done?" whisftanll "I havTOarrfc rrei, sun standing moied tho body to my hut

you know I livo quite alone, my lady and I came to you to know whatl had better do next." "Saddle a horse and rido to Nostley. You must fetch the police. Wo must find tho murderer." Tho words dropped like agony from tho white lips. "Shall I summon Lord Roy?"' said Miles, eagerly, seeing the agitation on the worn face opposite. "1 would not go to him first, lor I knew how much ho loved Capt. Rivets, and know tho blow would fall so heavily. Forgive me, my lady, you arc always so bravo! I forgot you were a woman. ' I ought to have gone to his lordship." "Tho blow has fallen heavily, indeed," whisparod the white lips; then rousing herself with an effort, Lady Darrell passe-! her handkerchief over her face. "You were right, Miles, to come to mo, and I thank you wit h all my heart. I I will tell Lord Roy." She put out one of her slender hands, and the koeper took it within his own brown hard ones with reverence and awe. "We must act now, not think." went on Lady Darrell, hurriedly. "Yes.the police must come, nothing can be done till then. Go, Miles, at once. Send Chelmick to me. I must break the news to the household. What havo you done with the basket you found?" "It is at my cottage, my lady." "Good, leave it there. Wait an instant: I will write a note." She moved to the bell and rang it, then stood with her hands lockod together as silent as a marble statue till the butler came. Miles gazed at her in admiration. Ho knew what an agony of shame and pain was in that breaking heart, yet no cry camo from the lips, no womanly weakness was betrayed in face or limD. As the butler entered. Lady Darrell in brief quiet words told of tho discovery of Capt. Rivers' dead body, and the supposed murder; then as the old servant withdrew in fear and horror, she wrote a few lines on a card, and handed it to Miles! "To the police-station, Nestley; goat once." Miles bowed and withdrew; as he went tho door of tho inner room opened, and Valerie Ross camo out. Her hair was pushed from her brows, her face ghastlv white, a ii.xed look of anguish in her glorious eyes. Lady Darrell advanced to meet her. "Ah, my poor child," she murmured, "you havo heard you have heard all?" "All!" repeated Valerie, blankly. "Is it true?" sr. asked after a moment's pause. "Is it true? Is he dead murdered?" "Ho is dead," answered the older women, almost mechanically. "Yes.', "And you can stand there so calm! Oh, Eustace Eustace gone, my " Valerie throw her hands ,up to her face, swayed to and fro for an instant, then she lay stretched prostrate on the floor. With the same set face, Lady Darrell bent over the inanimate girl, and pressed her cold lips to senseless ones: then ringing the bell again she directed the servants to carry the still form to her room. "Leave me alone," she said as they went through the door "quite alone." She stooa silent as the small cortege disappeared, then her calmness went. Lady Darrell flung horse!' down on her knees and gave way to her feolings. "They .wont away together," she whispered, a crimson wave of color dvein her arentlo face "toa-ether in anger: now Eustace lies dead, and Roy, my angel, mv prince, my son oyi JNo: Oh, God, keep the thought, from my imnu, or i siia-u go ummu LaV iuo vuiuU: clearly. They were angry: they may have parted friends. Eustace may have met his death alone. Oh, God, pray that it may be so! Roy, my darlin!r, my precious Roy, can there be blood on your hands, on your soul? Oh, what sin have wo dono that this awful curse should come? It is too much too much!" The agony of her thoughts over powered her. Lady Darrell sank for ward on to the chair, and buried her face in her hands. A few seconds after, the doorooened. a figure enterod. In two strides Roy was beside his mother, had lifted her to her feet, and clasped her to his heart. "Roy!" she gasped, fearfully. "Thank God! And yet. oh, my son, my son; ' "Mother," said the young man, "you know all. Hear me now, though I may never prove it. I know, I feci, I swear, I am innocent of this crime!" CHAPTER 111. "Answer mo at once at once, do you hear? Toll mo what took you creeping out oi the house at daybreak, and why you was homo so late last night, " Let her be, Martha.'" grumbled Farmer Brown, who was trying to spell through the newspaper, after eating a nearty mict-aay mcai. "1 shall not let her be," retorted tho angry woman, "bhe shall know who s mistress here, I can tell her. Taking advantage of iny being wanted at Mrs. Dixon's farm lost night, sho must needs go trolloping about till any hour. I don't believe t he went mgh'tho castle. Answer me! What kept you so late, and what took you to tho town this morning, sneaking out when we wore fast asleep?" "1 cannot toll you. Aunt Martha," the girl antwered quietly notsullenly, but firmly. "Cannot tell me, indeed, you hussy! Well, we'll seo whether .1 can make you. Do you think me and your uncle have got nothing to do but fceep you ' shoe-leather a great idle good-foi nothing girl that eats us out of house ana homer" Alice was silent, while her uncle stirred uneasily in his chair. "There, Martha that'll do." "No. it won't. I mean to make her toll mo all. Where were you last night and this morning, where is the basket, and what inest-ugo did Mrs. Grey send?" "I cannot answer," said Alice, again very quietiy. "Then I'll mako you!" cried Mrs. Brown furiously, taking up a farmer's whip that hung on a nail. "Martha!" exclaimed her husbanu. "Let her strike nie, uncle," said tho girl with flashing eyes. "If sho does I will appeal to the Castle for protection." Something in Alice's look cheeked the angry woman. Sho dropped her hand. "The Castle?" sho muttered sullenly. "A lino thing " A loud knocking at the door interrupted her words. Sho stared for an instant, while Alice grew cold and still. She know tho summons was come for her. Mrs. Brown flungopen thedoor, then courtesied respectfully as sho saw before her, on horseback, the chief magistrate of the neighborhood, and three or four policemen. "Good morning, Mrs. Brown." sattl the magistrate, Sir Robert Carlyle. "I wish to ask you a few questions. Sergeant, hand" Mrs. Brown tho basket. Mrs. Brown, does that belong to you?" Mrs. Brown took it, and recognized it at once as the ono she had filled with eggs the night before. "Yes, your honor," she said with another courtesy. "It is mine, but," glancing around rather fearfully at the policemen, "may I ask -" "When did you use that basket last?" inquired Sir Robert. "Last aight, your honor. I packed it with eggs for Mrs. Grey, at the Castle, and gave It to our AUee to carry."

Tho farmer had risen, and was star tng at. the proceedings in alarm. "Whore is Alice?" inquired the magistrate next. "Just behind. Hero, Alice, you'nwanted. Now you'll find, miss," in a low whisper to tho girl, "what it is to bo rudo to me; your punishment's come. " Alice took no notice. She moved forward into the doorway. "What is your name?" asked Sir Robert. "Margaret- Dornton, sir, but 1 am always culled Alice." 'Then Miss Dornton. please will yot; answer me this question? Were you carrying that basket through the woods to the Castle, hist night?" Alice looked nt hi in straight. "Yes, sir, I was." she answered. 'Then you must accompany mo. please, at once to the. Castle: you will bo wanted.'' Alice tied on her cotton sun-bonnet without another word, while her aunt stared, silent through amazement: at last she found her tongue: "What has Alice done? Tell me. your honor. Is sho going to be punished for " "There is an inquest up at the Castle, Mrs. Brown. Captain Rivers was murdered in the woods hist night, and Miss Dornton is chief witness against the suspected murderer, Lord Roy Darrell."

"Mercy sukes!" ejaculated Mrs. Brown, as Alice walked quietly down iou quie o villag the cotirtyart was waiting. go tly thatThe cirl sat back in her corner very quiet and silent, as she was Ixjwled along tho wide country lane that led by tho longest route to the Cast le. She was thinking, wondering if she still dreamt, whether tho horrors o: the past night, the strange hurried marriage of tho morning, the knowledge that sho was no longer a free, lonely maiden, but a wedded wife, were after all but visions that would float away in mist. TO HE CONTINUED. Growth of Our Country. In 17!K1 there were fifteen States, and in 18!).'i there are forty-four. A population of 3,l2.32S has in.reased to t7, 186,00 ., occupying an area of 8,580,805 square miles, which in the original was but t0o,401. Phila delphia was then the largest city in the United States, having a popula tion of 42,5.0, New York coming second with 3.1,121, Boston 18,0:i8, and Baltimore 13,503. Chicago, San Francisco, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, and St. Paul were not on the maps, while St. Louis, Cincinnati and Pitts burgh were just beginning to be. New York with l,"10,7l. census. Philadelphia 1,U: 653, and Chicato with 1,0119,850, comprise more popu lation than that credited to the country 100 years ago. The Congress of 173 had l 'i5 members and tbe Congress now in session has 448, on a ratio of representation of one in 17.', 901 of population to only 30,000 i century ago. As evidence of the Nation's growth, here is the money side of the review In I73 the receipts into the Treasury were $5,720,624. and Id J Si 3 they are $461,807,788. The expenditures under Washington were 1,529, 375, while In Cleveland's like year they amounted $459,4iil, 1 14. From imports, then, the aggregate was $31,000,000, and to-day it Is $8(16,361,421. The exports were valued at $26,109,000, and now the total is $847, 508, 024. Washington was satisfied with 20!) postoltice ap pointments, while Cleveland has , 119 at his disposal. The revenue from postotlices then was 104, 747, and expenditures 872,040. The revenue to-day is $75,989,160, and the ex- ! penditures $81,1)2!' 543. There were I nineteen colleges then, and 597 to I day. Public schools were among the I unknown, along with railroads, the telegraph ana telephone. In public j schools alone for the year 1893 there ! are 13,010,1 Hi pu lis enrolled, with 169,634 teachers in charge. Poor Hopkins. A Portland physician tells the fol lowing story, promising it with the remark that nurses in the London hospitals are rather apt to lay too much stress on the advantages re ceived by the patients and to remind them of the duty of thankfulness. Sometimes the patients do not appreciate their good fortune. This scene from a London hospital, ro lated hy the physician above indi rated, is a case in point: Chanlain So poor Hopkins is dead 1 should have liked to speak to him once again and soothe his last moments. Why didn't you call me? Hospital Orderly I didn't think you ought to be disturbed for 'Opkins, sir, so I just soothed him as best 1 could myself. Chaplain Why, what did you say to him? Orderly "'Opkins," eczI, "you're mortal oad." "I am," sez 'ee. '"opkins," sez I, "1 don't think you'll get lietter." "No," sez 'ee. "'Opkins," sez 1, "vou're going fast." "Yes," sez 'ee. "'Opkins," se. I, "1 don't think you can 'ope to go to 'eaven.' "I don't think I can," sez he. "Well, then, 'Opkins," se I, "you'll go to 'ell." "I suppose so," sez 'ee. '"Op kins," sez I, "you ought to be wery grateful as there's a place perwided for you, and that you've got somewhere to go." And I think 'ee 'eard me, sir, and then 'ee died." No Whales in tho Gulf Stream. It is a remarkable zoological, piscatorial, or hydrographical fact that whales are uever (if allowed to follow the dictates f their own wills found within the limits of that great ocean river the gulf stream. The shrewd Yankee whalers were the first to gain an accurate knowledge of the extent and limits of the great artery which pulsates between this country and Europe this by studying the habits and haunts of the whales. It was noted that they were plentiful northwest a'id southeast ot certain well-dctliied lines, aud that the "neutral waters" were several degrees warmer thau those which, paradoxical as it may sound, formed their "banks" and boundaries. Finally it was decided, and rightly, too, that' the non-whalc-produclng area was the gulf stream. Franklin learned this curious scientillc fact from the New England whalers, and in 1770 published a chart for the benefit of the mail packets or mail ships plying between our large coast cities and London. Curiously enough this chart was not gotten up for the purpose of adding to the sum total ot hydrographical knowledge, mir for the purpose of outlining the gulf stream, but solely as a guide to the best route for ships to pursue in order to keep from encountering whales. St Louts Republic. How It Happened. A certain clergyman in early life met with an a cident which left him with a broken nose, a deformity about which, in spite of his piety, he was known to bo a little sensitive One day a new inquirer propounded tbe old question: "How happened vou to break your nose?" The minister answered solemnly: "To tell the truth, my friend, the accident was caused by poking my nose into other people's buslnoii

5!othes In France All regards tho history of coaches in Franee. Henry IV. was assassinated in 1610. Soon after his death some engravings were published, representing him being murdered in his carriage by Ravaillac, It is from these that Roubj has had the sketches of the three carriages on his plate 172 engraved. They are simply square boxes, measuring by scale six feet in length by three and a half feet in width, on four wheels of the same diameter, without any springs or straps, and scuting six persons in all, namely, two with their backs to tho horses, two facing them, and tv;u more, ono on each side of the two "boots," at the sides. Each vehicle had a roof resting on light columns, and curtains to draw or to let down. This agrees well with tho received acoounts of the incident, according to ono version of which Henry rode in an open carriage, and according to another that as soon as the fatal blow was delivered by tho assassin, the King's attendants, who rode with him in tho carriage, drew the curtains, and, hiding the King from public view, assured the enraged people that he was only wounded. Notes and Queries.

General Instead of ArollbiHliop. Archduke Eugene of Austria, whoso name was put forward a year ago as candidato for the Archbishopric of Olmutz, an otiice which he was most anxious to accept, has just been appointed to the command of the infantry brigade stationed there with tho rank oi General. His tastes are far more ecclesiastical than military, and he has passed all the regular examinations of the faculty of Theology and been graduated as a doctor of divinity. He is the tallest and most magnificently proportioned of any Prince of the blood of Europe. The Archbishopric of Olmutz is now held by a Cardinal, who?e parents are Jew ish peasants, and who still hold to the faith of their forefathers, notwithstanding that their son, who now bears the title of Pi-inco and maintains a semi-regal state, bas taken them to live with him in his palace. Tho Word Vim. According to my opinion, the use of this word as a synonym of energy, vigor, etc., has arisen in this way. Some pedantic journalist, considering, perhaps, the Anglo-Saxon noun "strength"' too vulgar, and wishing to overawe his readers with a Latin expression, chose tho word "vis," probably in connection with a verb governing the accusative case, but, reluotant to offend against the sacred rules of Latin grammar, ho employed the accusative "vim." This mode of expression may have been repeated several times, and as the people liked the sound of the word, even without knowing what it meant, they also employod it in instances in which no accusative was required, and thus the misused word became a current expression. Notes and Queries. Going Out with Firecrackers. An interesting case of "the ruling assion strong in death" is described y the Toronto Mail. A humorist in Japan who jested all his life told his friends when he was dying that his body was not to be washed after death, but was to be taken at once to the family temple to be cremated. When he died his instructions were followed, and the chief priest took the body to the cremation ground. As soon as it was set on fire the mourners were astonished by several loud explosions. At first they were inclined to take to their heels, but curiosity got the better of fear, and careful inspection showed that the humorist had stowed away a largo number of iirocrackers about his person before his death. Improved Farming. Hero is a list of vegetables raised by Josiah H. MucFarlaud upon a piece of ground 62 feet square in Aliddletown, Delaware County: 375 heads of cabbage, 1 baskets of string beam;, 16 quarts of lima beans, 3 baskets of peas, 12 baskets of tomatoes, 10 bushels of potatoes, 200 heads of lettuce, 112 bushels of onions, one-half bushel of onion set-;, 300 bushels of radishes, 30 dozen ears of corn, 3 dozen cucumbers, 5 dozen peppers, 16 bunches of beets, 2,300 cel ery staiKs. These were sola lor (siou.ssi, and Mr. MacFarland estimates that if he had bought the same in a regular market they would have cost him $160. Philadelphia Times. The Boyal Family as Gardeners, There is only one bed of flowers in the beautiful grass plot at Osborne, which is in the summer fragrant with the scent of pinks and carnation?, and this is always watched by Princess Beatrice, who tends and cares for the flowers for the Queen's delight. The Queen loves garden ing, and all her children wero tauirht to disr and plant flowers, fruit. and vegetables in season. Each child had a separate garde i, and each had the same kinds of vegetables and flowers. The gardens are still kept up exactly as the" Princes and Princesses cultivated them years ago. Egyptian Papyri. A collection of Egyptian papyri re cently purchased by subscription for tho Geneva Public Library is being examinedlby M. Jules Nicole. Ho has dis covered fragments of the ''Iliad" and tne "Odyssey," the former comprising portions of Books XI. and XII., presenting great variations from the received text. There is also a passage of Euripides' "Orestes," a thousand years older than any manuscript hitherto known M.

Too Humane. It is hard to understand how any one can 1 e too humane, but it really seems if a story recently told by a "French journal is true, that the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has something to answer for. Two little girls has been visiting an exhibition of paintings with their governess. On their return their mother aked them: "Well, what picture pleased you most?" "The one that showed the Christians thrown to the lions in tho Roman arena," both children answered. 'Indeed"' said the mother. "I suppose it worked on your feeling to look at it." "Oh, yes, mamma," said the younger child; "there was one poor dear lion that didn't have any Christian to eat"' Curlyle'H Temper. It is easier to say why a particular man should lx a pes imist than why a great many should be. In Carlyle it is tolerably clear that early surroundings ; ana lacts ot temperament had a good ! deal to do with t he settled gloom of his speculations, t alvinism trains strong men, but can hardly be said to predispose to cheerfulness. This particular man of genius had constitutional ailments, and his lifo was for a long time a struggle with poverty, and ho grew up in u very dismal period tho time when the great war had left us overstrained and lisen- ! chanted, the later time when reform ' seemed to be unprofitable, and t ho days i of famine that forced free trade upon i the country. Dr. C. H. Peterson' in : Tho Fortnightly Review. Matters of Millions. More than 1,2C0.000,00Q of railway property in this country is estimated to bo in the hands of receivers. It Is an imposing total well calculated to give some notion of tho vastness of tho transportation interests. Five great systems under receivers the Union Pacific, Northern Pacific, Philadelphia and Reading. Erie, and Richmond Terminal represent close to 25,000 miles of road, with an aggregate capitalization of $416,724,711, assets of $1,174,312,871, and funded debts of 9517,028,550. On a stock exchange valuation the stocks of these roads are worth about 12 per cent on tho dollar, or say a total of about $50,000,000. Railway Times. Their Virtues, Not Their Faults. A philosopher says: There are three things which a good woman ought to resemble in one particular, but not in another. Thus, sho ought to be like the snail, which always keeps in the house, but she should not copy its example in putting all she rossesses on her back. She should resemble the echo, which ! never speaks unless spoken to, but sho ought not, like the echo, always try j to have the last word, j Lastly, sho ought to bo truo and corj rect as the town clock, but sho ought I not like tho clock, to make noise enough to be heard all over the town. New York Recorder. A Snub-Nosed Kegtment. In tho Russian army thore is ono particular regiment of infantry of the guards formed by the Emperor Paul, the men of which are recruited, not so much with regard to their height or the color of their hair and complexions as to the shape of their noses. Kmpcror Paul had a typical Kalmtik noso of the most excruciatingly up-tilted pattern, and since then, out of compliment to him, all of tho officer and men of this particular regiment havo noses of the tame shape, the sight which they present on parado being somewhat startling.
