Father will not be appeased, says Prince Kropotkin in The Atlantic. He calls In Makar, the piano tuner and •nbtmtler, and reminds him of all his recent rina He was drunk last week and mast have been drunk yesterday, for be broke half a dozen plates. In fact, the breaking of these plates was the real cause of all the disturbance. Stepmother had reported the fact to fa ther in the morning, and that was why Uliana was received with more scold ing than was usually the case, why the verification of the hay was undertaken and why father continued to about that "this progeny of Ham” deserved all the punishments on earth. All of a sudden there is a lull in the storm. My father has taken hie seat at the table and writes a note to the police station. Mahar with this note to the police Station, and let 100 lashes with the birch rod be given to him.” Terror and absolute muteness reign in the house. The clock strikes 4, and we all go down to dinner, but no one has any ap petite, and the soup remains in the plates untouched. We are ten at table, and behind each one of us a violinist or a trombone player stands, with a clean plate in his left hand, but Makar is not among them. “ Where is Makar?” stepmother aska “Call him in.” Makar does not appear, and the order is repeated. He enters at last, pale, with a distorted face, ashamed, his eyes cast down. Father looks into his plate, while stepmother, seeing that no one has touched the soup, tries to encourage us. “Don’t you find, children,” she says, “that the soup is delicious?'* Tears suffocate me, and immediately after dinner is over I run out, catch Makar in a dark passage and try to kiss his hand, but he tears it away and says, either as a reproach or as a ques tion, “Let me alone. And you, too,, when you are grown up, will be just the same?” “No, no; never!” Yet father was not of the worst of landowners. On the contrary, the serv ants and the peasants considered him to be one of the best. What we saw in our house was going- on everywhere, often in much more cruel forms. The flogging of the serfs was a regular part of the duties of the police. LONG DISTANCE FIGHTING. Impossible to Tell Infantry From Cavalry at Two Thousand Yards. “Unless they have had experience,” remarked an armj officer, “people are very likely to have a very imperfect idea as to distances in army and field operations and as a result get things considerably mixed. When they read that armies are engaging with each oth er at 2,000 yards between them, they may think that they can see each other, but' the reality is far different. “At that distance, to the naked eye, a man or a horse does not look any larger than a speck. It is impossible to distinguish at that distance between a man and a horse, and at 800 yards less, 1,200 yards, especially where there is any dust, it requires the best kind of eyes to tell infantry from cavalry. At 900 yards the movements become clear er, though it is not until they get with in 750 yards of each other that the heads of the columns can be made out with anything like certainty. “Infantry can be seen in the sunlight much easier than the cavalry or artil lery, for the reason that less dust is raised. Besides that, infantry can be dis tinguished by the glitter of their mus kets. At 2,000 yards, however, every thing is unsatisfactory, even with the aid of field glasses, for a marching col umn in dry weather raises a great deal of duet.”—Washington Star. A True Caballero. Well in the middle of the grounds stands General Anderson’s headquar ters. As we went up the steps a tall man, rather shabbily dressed, preceded us. We noticed his military bearing and were told that he was the captain of one of the Spanish men-of-war which lies with projecting spars at the bottom of Cavite harbor. Following his foot steps, we of necessity overheard what he said to the general’s aid: “Senor, I borrowed, some time ago, S2OO from Admiral Dewey to pay off my men. I have come to repay the debt.” He turned his profile toward us, and we noticed how thin he looked. He must have starved himself to collect the money. With a very straight back, he counted out the Spanish bills and turned to ga “Will you not take a receipt?” asked the aid of General Anderson. “Never from an officer,” answered the gray haired old gentleman, with a courtly old fashioned bow. Here at least is a true Spanish Cabal lero. —Harper’s Weekly. A Gorgeona Kin*. Luinaka, the king of Barotse Land, says a traveler, is held in great fear and respect by his people. His court has as much etiquette and ceremonial as that of Louis XIV. His band of musicians make both day and night hideous with their performances. The music is done to drive away evil spirits. Luinaka himself is an imposing spectacle. Tbe king wears a long blue dressing gown trimmed with red braid, trousers and shirt, and on his bead a scarlet nightcap, and above it a black terai hat. Hla Ide* of Luck. “We don’t have no luck at our house like they have over to Jimmy Smith ers’. ” “Why, what kind of luck do the Smithers have?” “JimmySmithers’ father basdyspep ria, an there’s always a piece of pie left over an Jimmy gits it!”—Cleveland Plain Dealer. BEGGAR, BUt NO LIAR. - ta. A Meadica&t’a Account of Uow Mo Lao* a “Yes, sir,” said the one legged man mournfully to the man whose attention he had attracted by addressing him as “Bay, friend”—“l lost thia leg at Cuba, and that’s the truth.” “You don’t my,” the other observed sym pathetically. “I’ve been reading about the trials and troubles of you poor fallows —that is, allowing you are telling taste and really were there.” “Friend, I hope I may die In this spot and die painfully if it isn't just aa I tall you. I know I am suspected aa a fraud because there are so many liars who try to work on people’s sympathies, but I am telling the actual, honest truth. I lost this login Cuba. If you’ll give me a mister, I'll roll you all about it It's a very Interest)-.# story.” The sympathetic stranger, being assur ed, oom plied: “It was a dark night, friend,” the crip ple began, “and nobody but a fool or a man who was half drunk would have thought of doing such a thing. I s’posa tn all honesty I ought to confess I’d took a drop that night.” “I can understand. I have beard about that rainfall and the mud and exposure. ” “ Yea, it was a dark night, and you could not see a thing. Suddenly a bright light flashed over to the west. It was a head light.” “Ah, yes! a searchlight, you mean.” “And then there came the roar and rat tle of”— “A rapid fire gun. Was there any smoke to it?” “Too dark to see, but I know there was, though, for I've gone against the same game in daylight, and I know how it looks. Well, the fellow who waa firing”— “Only one? But, of course, there was but one handling IL” “There was only one of ’em firing, but he was a daisy all right. ‘Will it never stop?’ I asked my mate. “ 'Well just take it anyway,’ says he. “As I said, we had been drinking. No body but one who had would 'a* tried to dolt.” “Heroic man!” murmured the sympa thetic stranger. “So, when she came up close I, seeing she wasn’t going to stop for the crossing at all, made a grab for the hand bolt on the first box car. My mate jumped for a flat and made it, but I missed and fell to the track, and the wheel went over this leg. “ That’s the way it happened. If you don’t believe it, you can write to the doc tor at Cuba, Miseoury, and he’ll tell you It’s gospel truth. I may be a mendicant, sir, but I am no liar.”—Chicago Record. A Sample of a Good Moro. Professor Dean C. Worcester contributes to The Century an article on “The Malay Pirates of the Philippines.” Speaking of his guide, Professor Worcester says: Toolawee was considered a good Moro, and we were therefore interested in certain incidents which gave us an insight into his real character. After satisfying him self by observation that we could use our rifles with some effect, he made us a rather startling business proposition in the fol lowing words: “You gentlemen shoot quite well with the rifle.” “Yes; we have had some experience.” “You desire to get samples of the clothing and arms of my countrymen tor your collection?” “Yes.” “Papa (General Arolas) told you if you met armed Moros outside the town to or der thorn to lay down their arms and re tire?” “Yes.” “Papa does not understand my people as I da They are all bad. When we meet them, do not ask them to lay down their arms, for they will oome back again and get them and probably at tack us. Just shoot as many of them as possible. You can then take their arms and clothing, and I will cut off their heads, shave their eyebrows, show them to papa and claim the reward for killing juramentados. ” He never really forgave us for refusing to enter into partnerhip with him on this very liberal basis. She Rubbed BoyaU?. Among the guests at Monte Carlo last year were a very ordinary looking couple who kept to themselves and paid but slight attention to the passing throng, but one night two English royalties arrived, and after dinner tbe princess went up to the couple and spoke most graciously to them. Then every one wanted to know who they were. Undeniable evidence of breeding was observed about their man ners, and their unobtrusive ways indicated exclusiveness An English lady was ob served talking to them one night, and the inquisitive crowd surged round her. “Do tell us who she is!” they chorused. “(B),” was the reply, “that is the queen’s mas seuse, who is now on her wedding trip. She has rubbed her royal highness* knee and her majesty’s feet, and—she has rub bed me all over!” —Exchange. She Objects to Cigarettes. A ridiculous rumor is current that the reeent illness of the czarina has been due to slow poisoning, the arsenic being ad ministered—so it is said—by a trusted lady in waiting in the empress’ morning cup of chocolate. Sensational rumors of this kind are continually cropping up, and the mere fact that the czarina has long been in ill health was quite sufficient basis on which to found this highly colored story. That the empress is unpopular is certain ly not true. On the contrary, she has won the confidence of her husband’s peo ple by her gentleness and tact, her edict against her ladies in waiting smoking cigarettes being the one trivial grievance they have against her.—London Letter. Van Been* Violet Dining Boom. Jan Van Beers’ diningroom la his Paris home is a scheme of violet and silver col oring. Every shade from deepest purple to palest mauve is represented, even the windows being filled in with deep violet glass and studded with round disks simu lating amethysts. Tbe dining table was made, after the artist’s own carefully thought out design, of the finest plate glass and copper. From tbe interior oome shafts of light, and the tablecloth used at night is transparent. The whete bufiding is planned with similar magnificence.— Strand Magazine. Let Then* Go On. It it is true, as stated at the Detroit conference of boards of. health, that one seventh of all the deaths are caused by tu berculosis and that the interruptions to commerce caused by the disease represent 1100,000,000 In two or three months, it is evident that the science of medicine has a great work before it in fighting consump tion for both humanitarian and pecuniary reasons. And if the sanitarians can fight it as effectually as they say they can they should by all means be given every facility for doing so.— Philadelphia Ledger. an effective Farable. Geaoral Jc«Wrt*a Story Sava* tfea Lives of the IweMS Balden. A meat interesting account of the manner in which the Uvea at Jameson and his men were spared, after the rar render to the Boers, is told fay the Nieuwu Van den Dag of Amsterdam: The stern old Boers, whan they had Jameson and his fellow officers in their hands, determined to execute the lead ers of the band at daybreak. The meet ingtook place in President Kruger** house, 20 being present, of whom the great majority, wild with indignation at the sudden inroad into their terri tory, were for shooting the British offi cers at once. President Kruger opposed this sum mary plan and used all his eloquence and all his influence on behalf of the prisoners. For a long time his efforts were vain. It was 4 o’clock in the morning, and tbe president’s opponents were still for execution. The lives of the foreigners hung by a thread. At length General Joubert, one of the few who agreed with the president, had recourse to the old time- Boer method of convincing his hearers. He made use of a parable. “Friends,” he said, “will you not listen to my voice once more? Suppose that close to my farm Uvea a bad neigh bor who keeps fierce hounds in his house, worrying my sheep exceedingly and also killing some. What, then, would you have me to do? Should I kill the hounds to be free of this worry? Truly my neighbor would say unto me: ‘Thou hast killed my hounds, yet their value is greater than the value of your sheep. Pay thou me I* Is it not better that I should take the hounds and go ing into my neighbor’s house say, ’These are thine; now pay me for the harm they have done my flock?’ ” There was silence, and the general sontinued: “We have caught the peck. Is it not better to send them to the British government with demand* for reparation, lest the British send more hounds to worry us anew?” The old form of argument proved successful. The wisdom of moderation became apparent, and the council of war accepted the advice of their chiefs. SERVANTS* EXCUSES. Oae Worn** Who Was Clever Eneagh to Circwmvsat Them. We have heard the story of the Cana dian mistress -who, with seven servants in her house, was obliged to go to the garden and pick berries for the table. Each of the servants declined the task with the stereotyped excuse, “It ain’t my place to pick berries. ” Ord, in his “History of Cleveland,” relates an an ecdote of Margaret Wharton, who, while accepting her servants* excuse, yet made them do her will. In one of her visits to Scarborough Mrs. Wharton, with her usual economy, had a family pie for dinner, which she directed the footman to convey to the bakehouse. This the man declined to do as not belonging to his place, or rather, as derogatory to his conse quence. The lady then moved the ques tion to the coachman, but found a still stronger objection. To save the pride of both Mrs. Wharton resolved to take the pie to the shop herself. She ordered one man to harness and bring out the horses and the other to mount and ride behind, and thus the errand was done with all honor and ceremony. Then in due time the coachman was ordered to put to a sec ond time and the footman to mount be hind, and Mrs. Wharton brought back the pie in the same dignified state. “Now,” said the lady to the coach man, “you have kept your plaoe, which is to drive, and you yours, ” to the foot man, “which is to wait, and I mine, which is to have my pie for dinner.” Continuous Steel Pipe. The West Australian government has taken a contract to lay nearly 850 miles of water pipe of a novel character. This pipe is to be made of steel spirals pack ed in concrete. Sheet metal is out into strips of the required width. These are fed into a machine and welded into one continuous strip. As the strip is fed in to the machine rivet holes are punched; then the edges of the laps are brought together by machinery and held during the process of riveting, which is all done by compression. The lap is thrown on the outside of the pipe, rendering the inner surface sooth and even throughout its length. A tenacious hydraulic ce ment is packed around the laps, making the pipe absolutely water tight—New York Ledger. She Loves Birds. The dowager empress of China is de voted to birds of all kinds, and innu merable bird pets are kept abqut the palace. She is reported to have wept copiously about the death of a favorite nightingale not along aga Upon being told of a Chinese girl who had com plained bitterly of the dreariness of life this exalted lady remarked sagely that a woman ought to take so much pride In her home that it could be a heaven to her, adding, “There are always birds and flower a” She is a clever artist and delights in painting from nature. CoM’t Hold America Dawn. “Why, air,” said the geologist, “tbe ground you walk on was once under water. ” “Well,” replied the friend, who is nothing if not patriotia “itaimplygoes to show you can’t bold America down. ” —Washington Star. A southern man says that the differ ence between yellow fever and dengue fever is that when one has the former he is afraid be will die and when the latter attacks him he is fearful that he will not According to the latest statistics, the population of Greece is increasing more rapidly than that of any other country —namely, at the rate of 1.87 per flea* per annum. - ■■ BB ■ V B ffi IW/ 1 > AWI al f l "Wr WMBt w* JP> .
