The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the /"X 'Jt* Signature of Too Imaginative. A curious illustration of the journalistic imaginativencM carried to a high develop ment was had in a dispatch to a city paper from its correspondent in a southern city. He was telegraphing some facts in the local history of tbe late Ensign Bagley, slain in battle at Cardenas. “He was," telegraphed the correspondent, “in his twenty-third year and was the first officer to fall in the Spanish-American war. His grandfather was the first man shot in the Mexican war tn 1846, hia father, a ma jor In the Confederate service, was the first man slain In the conflict between the north and south. Thus history repeats it self.’* This read very smoothly to the night editor, who gathered these interest ing details under a striking headline and sent it up. The eye of the managing editor on his proofs noted the interim that must have occurred between the death of the major and the birth of the eon, and he prevented history from repeating itself.— Philadelphia Timos. The Victoria Croo. The agitation about Flndlater has been productive of good results, for In future soldiers who receive the Victoria cross and are incapacitated for work will receive £6O • year Instead of the £lO now granted,-and Bo soldier who wears the cross for valor need fear that he will end his days In the workhouse.

The 8 teenth regiment had taken a glorious part in its first battle of tbe war for Cuban freedom and was rest ing on its arms and laurels. “Well,” remarked the soldier with tbe red bandana handkerchief around his head, “we’ve had our baptism of fire." “I reckon we have,” replied the sol dier who was examining a wound on the butt of his rifle, “By the way, you’re a Baptist, ain’t you?” “That’s what I am.” “Did you notice that our baptism of fire came in the form of sprinkling?” “Not particularly. I noticed we were pretty thoroughly immersed in it.” When taps sounded an hour later they were still wrangling over it.

Bean tto Kwid fwHswMwiys Bought It was a bitter cold night, and a night policeman in Lombard street no ticed a light in the bank window, and, going to the door, rapped. “Ia that you, policeman?’’ asked a voice from within. “Yes,” was the reply. “Come in and have a drink,” said tbe voice. The policeman stepped inside and en countered a dapper little fellow sitting ftt ft cloak. “I’ve been detained tonight straight ening up accounts.” Tbe policeman wanned himself at the rousing fire that biased on the hearth and went out again on his beat. An hour after the policeman came that way and, still seeing the light through the window, rapped again. “Is that you, policeman?” “Yes.” “Come in and warm yourself.” The polioegian accepted the invita tion. “It’s • howling cold night,” said the clerk. “You’re right, sir,” said the police mftZL Bo he got another drink and returned to his beat. He was rather surprised next day to find that his friend of the night before had got off with some |50,- 000 of the bank’s funds.—London Suc cess. ’ Aa Attack on Sevastopol. From whese I was stationed I could see the dense masses of the attacking columns advance up the slope. Then the torrents of grape which met them would obscure their ranks for a mo ment and hardly a man would be seen to remain. lat one time saw a body of men many hundreds strong so complete ly swept away by one discharge that only a few of thereat tank remained when the iron storm went past I The dead and dying could be clearly distin guished lying in piles on the hillside, and over their prostrate bodies fresh troops crowded on to meet the same fate. Many a manly heart and nervous arm went down in the deadly struggle on that green hillside. No valor avail ed. The cannon’s force was greater than the strength of man. How many ardent hopes were extin guished I How many home circles de stroyed and lives rendered miserable by the havoc of that hour none can toll, no more than they can imagine the bodily agony or the grief for home and friends which was there endured I What would be the value of what is called “glory” if weighed on the field of bat tle among the dead? —Good Words. AlUnu or Alt*m*h»? There can, I suppose, be no doubt that in the lines in “The Deserted Vil lage”— To distant climeg, a dreary scene, Where half the convex world intrudes between, Through torrid tracts with fainting steps they go Where wild Altama murmurs to their woe— Goldsmith is alluding to the River Al tamaha in Georgia, the colonization of which* had taken place not long before. But his expressions ' are not very accu rate. So far from being torrid in the strict sense of the word, the latitude of the mouth of the Altamaha is more than 81 degrees. No part indeed of the present United States is located within the tropics. But, besides this, although there are certainly rattlesnakes and, I believe, scorpions of a certain species in Georgia, there are no tigers there to “wait their hapless prey,” which the poet reckons among the horrors of the region where some of the inhabitants of Auburn have gone.—Notes and Queries. Snow That Is Alive. A most curious phenomenon in the northwest of Canada is the appearance of millions of minute black insects whenever a thaw occurs. During the winter the snow is dry and crisp like sand, and nothing what ever can be discovered of these insects, but as soon as a thaw comes they are found everywhere in large patches, looking like a dusting of soot. They are generally known as snow fleas or snow lice and have slight hop ping powers, being able to leap some three or four inches. They entirely dis appear when it freezes again, and not a trace of them can be found. They do not fall with the snow as there may have been no snow for a month or more before their arrival and are probably analogous to the “red snow” of arctic regions. Second Time la Out. The hotel stood on a corner of a main street and a comparatively unfrequent ed side street. One evening I overheard the little old black man talking very savagely with another around the cor ner on the side street, and among other things he said: “Yes, sub, an es I hits you dey woan’ be but two licks struck. I’ll hit you an yon’ll hit de groan’. “You done heah whut I say.”—Den ver Post. Her Liquid Voice. “Your wife has such a liquid voice, ” ■aid Mr. F. admiringly to Mr. T. “Yes; that’s a pretty good name for it,” replied Mr. T. Mr. F. looked up inquiringly, and Mr. T. added immediately: “Don’t you understand? Why, it never dries up, you know. ” —London Fun. Not Diapoeed to DeUy Him. “I would go to the end of the world for you, ” he exclaimed passionately. “I’m sure I wish you would,” she answered coldly, "and—then jump off. ” —Somerville Journal.
