RISKED LIFE TO WIN WAGER British Officer in Peninsular War Braved French Bullets to Make Good His Bet. In all armies life has often been risked, ams sometimes lost, in the attempt to win a trumpery wager. During the Peninsular war, when the British army was Im front of the enemy, Colonel Melllsh appeared mounted upon a wretched steed, which provoked the derision of his fellow officers. “It Isn’t worth live pounds,” one of them remarked. "I'll bet you fifty pounds I get over forty for him,” said the colonel. “Done!" exclaimed the other. The hare-brained colonel immediately rode off in the direction of the enemy, who, of course, fired ypon him. Nothing daunted, the oolonel continued to advance, until his horse was killed under him, when he hastily freed himself and returned to the British lines, where he promptly claimed the wager. The money was handed over to him by the other unlucky officer, for the government then allowed a sum of forty-five pounds for every officer's horse killed in action. —London TitBits. WHEN POLAND WAS DIVIDED Frederick the Great of Prussia and Catherine of Russia the Leaders in the Movement The first partition of Poland was actively commenced under the terms of a compact between Frederick the Great of Prussia and Catherine of Russia, In which Austria was invited to take part. About one-third of Poland was seized on the occasion. The second partition in 1793 and the third in 1795 practically completed the dismemberment of the ancient kingdom, and after the congress of Vienna nothing was left of Poland but a memory. Before the first partition the kingdom stretched from the Carpathians to the Baltic, a distance of 600 miles. Germany, Austria and Russia alike sought to stamp out the language, literature and national spirit of the Poles, but with little success. The attempt to force school children to adopt the German tongue resulted in many "strikes” of the pupils, and the Poles were so determined in their attitude that all the governments involved were forced to make compromises. Steam-Heated Humming Birds. The humming bird in captivity is something of a rarity. At a recent bird show in London several were exhibited which were said to have been living in captivity for six months. They were shown iu steam-heated cages, each containing a little stove of its own. The cages were decorated with moss and orchids, and the birds obtained a portion of their food by sipping the nectar from the latter. To this was added a mixture of honey, sponge-cake crumbs and a babies’ patent food. This seems rather a curious diet, because humming birds in the free state feed largely on insects, and hence would seem to require a considerable admixture of animal food in their dietary. It would be interesting to know whether these “littlest of the bird tribes” are as pugnacious in captivity as when at large. Ordinarily they seem to have no fear and will attack a hawk or a spider with equal readiness. In view of the fact that the humming bird is strictly an American production it seems as though our own Zoological gardens might intern a few. Right Use of Enemies. “I have, as you observe,” wrote Franklin to John Jay, the year he retired from the French mission, “some enemies in England, but they are my enemies as an American; I have also two or three in America who are my enemies as a minister; but I thank . God there are not in the whole world ’ any who are my enemies as a man; for by his grace through a long life, I have been enabled so to conduct myself that there does not exist a human being who can justly say, ‘Ben Franklin has wronged me.’ This, my friend, is an old age of comfortable reflection. You, too, have or may have your enemies; but let not that render you unhappy. If you make a right use of them, they will do you more good than harm. They point out to us our faults; they put us upon our guard and help us to live more correctly.” Wanted the Pair. It is on the country circuit, and the audience is sadly lacking in appreciation of the efforts of the actors. Catcalls and groans, vegetables and eggi are directed at the stage, but still the well-meaning performer, who is in the midst of a long monologue, continues to recite his lines. Finally a despairing spectator hurls a shoe on the stage, and the actor starts to retreat behind the scenes. “Keep on playing!” cries the manager in the wings. “Keep on till we gel the second shoe!” Seek Safety in Basement When you are in a house during a close and immediate thunderstorm you should keep the windows shut and avoid placing yourself between two large and prominent conductors of electricity, such as the water-pipe or gas main (if your plumber has permitted you to knvw where they are) and the fireplace. If the house is a detached one or a corner house, and the storm is close, you will be acting reasonably if you retire into tlae basement until the storm is over.
