wfatoh he rapidly fills the basins, the
milk and sugar having been already
added before the ten left the cookhouse.
Notailownaee is made in bsmelu for
men of fastidwm tastes. If » man pre-,
fare his tea unsweetened, be «m go
elsewhere; the taste of the majority is
alooe consulted. The tea hmriug beam,
served out, the orderly man now pro
ceeds to divide the bread into chunks,
one for eash man. and announces that
the *extat” that morning fa butter.
Thia announcement is a welsmne one,
and the butter, being produced in its
wrapper at blue canteenpaper. Is speed
ily divW«frlbt» eq«d portions, one tar
each member of the mess.
Should any comrade be sonnfoxtunate
jas to be languishing in tha>guardroom,
'awaiting disposal by the commanding
officer, the orderly man has now to take
his aitowaace to him, the tea being
peered into a tin canteen and the bread
and butter wrapped in paper and stowed
in a ha vevaaek.
But it mug be asked: “Surely we
have been told that soldiers enjoy more
variety than plain bread and butter at
their breakfasts. Have we not heard of
savory kippers, of porridge—yes. even
of eggs and bacon?’’
True, such are the dishes encouraged
by generals and colonels who like to
sama reputation for looking after the
welfare of their men, but these fanoy
’ relishes arc not much encouraged by
Tommy Atictam for the rim pie reason
that bis funds will not allow of hura
oeiving mere than an foftnitekhnal por
tion of the kipper or whatever may be
the favorite breakfast dainty of hie
commanding officer. AU that the cor
poral in charge of the grocery book has
to spend daily, is threepence per man to
mess or-under 84 fistfacompany with
the average strength 6f 60 men in mess.
When it is realized that with thie
money tea, salt, pepper, vegetable** for
dinner, flour, if a “duff“ into nenamsnt
the dinner table, and all the groceries
which tha soldier need* to eke out the
rations of bread and moto alrtoslfil'de
scribed have to be provided, it will be
understood that the question of provid
ing extras for breakfast and tea is a
difficult one to solve, and that the cor
poral naturally prefers something like
butter, which all appreciate, to some
other dainty which may not appeal to
the tastes of his eunipitoqnpy.
The question of perMtadon to marry
ia a burning one in the barrack room.
Only a limited number of men are al
lowed to marry, the strength of the roll
varying with the establishment of the
corps. Sergeants are given permission
to many as a matter of course, if there
is a vacancy in the establishment, but
no soldier is allowed to enter the blessed
state unless he has seven years’ service,
£5 in the savings bank and two’ good
conduct badges. I have hea|rd it said
that there is such a thing as borrowing
the £5 till the necessary permission has
been obtained, but there is no getting
over the other two condition*
The married quarters seem comforta
ble enough. What strikes ua most is the
enormous number of babies and quite
young children who swarm round the
door of every quarter, occasional yells
leading to the hasty arrival of a flushed
and heated looking matron to restore
order in a summary fashion. Th* allow
ance of space does not strike on* as par
ticularly liberal, soldiers with small
families being given only one room, with,
the minutest possible scullery, the fa
thers of larger families rejoicing to an
extra room. Sergeants, as a rule, have
two rooms, but otherwise have no pull
over their comrades of lower rank.
The wives of the private soldiers add
largely to the scanty pay of their hus
bands by doing washing for the men of
their husbands’ company, and twice
blessed is the woman whose good man
belongs to a onmpnuy having few mar
ried soldiers. to this case she will be
able to get move to»do than her less for
tunate sisters. Thun of the women who
have a reputation as washerwomen earn
plenty of money by washing for the of
ficers of the regiment. The soldier’s
wife seems to drift naturally into being
, a washerwoman.
A little conversation with the ladies
is a liberal education in esprit de corps;
each woman thoroughly identifies her
self with the regiment to which her hns
band belongs, and.even in these days of
short service it is not difficult to find
women whose fathen and grandfathers
have soldiered in bygone, days undec the
tattered colors now banging infan sa
cred precincts of the officers* mess.
The ladies of the regiment, as a rale,
fake great interest fa the welfare of
their humbler sisters, frequently visit
ing them in their quarters and giving
more than their sympathy at one of
those crises which occur so frequently
in the married block and generally lead
ultimately to the object of their solici
tude applying for extra accommodation
owing to an unauthorized addition to
the strength of th* battalion.—“ Social

MAKING WOOD ALCOHOL.

It is necessary first to convert wood
into liquid. The strongest hydraulic
pressure weald not squeeze one-half of
I per cant of the moisture from dry
wood, hut by putting the same material
into an iron retort and converting ii
into charcoal by means of heat th* gases
and smoke, to the extent of fully 65 per
cent of the weight of the wood, may b*
condensed into pyroligneous acid, from
whfoh are obtained wood alcohol, acetate
of lime and wood tar* A oord of wood
weighfag 4,000 pounds produces about
2,650 pounds of pyroligneous arid and
780 pounds of oharcoaL The pyroligne
ous acid from one cord of wood pro
duces 9 gallons of 83 per rcnt crude
wood alcohol, 300 pounds of Acetate of
lime and about 25 gallons of tar, beside*
85 bushels of charcoal. After the pyro
ligneous arid is neutralized with lime
tfie wood alcohol is distilled off, the
lime holding the noetic acid in solution.
After the separation of the wood spirit
the remaining liquid is boiled down fa
i pans to a sugar, which is dried, and be
comes the acetate of lime of commerce.
Acetate of lime is used for making acetic
arid.
Fully three-fifths of all the wood al
cohol and acetate of lime produced in
the world are made in the United States.
Over 15,000 acres of forest per year are
cleared in the United States. Wood al
cohol affords a perfect substitute for
grain atoohol for manufacturing and
mechanical purposes, and at less than
one- third the cost It is used principally,
as a solvent in the making of shdlßS
varnish and fa making celluloid and
photographic paper. It makes beautiful
dye tints, is antiseptic and is used for
liniments and for skin rubbing in bath

LOCATING A COUPLET.
■JA Familiar Qnotation Ascribed to
Bntler la Placed.
Few popular quotations have more
engaged the pens of critics than the fol
lowing:
For he that fights and runs away
Will live to fight another day.
These lines are almost universally
supposed to forma part of “Hudibras,”
and so confident have even scholars been
on the subject that fa 1784 a wager was
made at Bootle of 20 to 1 that they
were to be found in that inimitable
poem. Dodsley was referred to as the
-arbiter, when he ridiculed the idea of
consulting him on the subject, saying,
“Every fool knows they are in ‘Hudi
bras. ’ ’’
George Selwyn, who was present,
said to Dodsley, “Pray, sir, will you be
good enough, then, to inform an old fool,
,who is at the same time your wise
worship’s very humble servant, in what
canto they are to be found?’’
Dodsley took down the volume, but
he could not find the passage. The next
day came, with no better success, and
the sage bibliophile was obliged to con
fess “that a man might be ignorant of
the author of this well known eouplei
without being absolutely a fool. ” But
ler has indeed two or three passages
somewhat similar. The one that comes
nearest is the following, in ‘' Hudibras, ’’
book 8, canto 8, verse 243:
For those that fly may fight again,
Which he can never do that’s slain.
The fact, however, is that the couplet,
thus erroneously ascribed to the author
of “Hudibras,” occurs in a small vol
ume of miscellaneous poems by Sir John
Mennes, written in the reign of Charles
ll.—Exchange.

A characteristic story of General Soott
is told in connection with the sword
presented to him by the state of Louis

close of the Mexican war.
He was accosted one day by a man
who said: “General Scott, I had the
honor of doing most of the work on the
sword presented to you by the state of
Louisiana. I should like to ask if ft
was just as you would have chosen.”
“It’s a very fine sword, sir, a very
fine sword indeed,” said the general.
“I am proud to have it. There is only
one thing I should have preferred differ
ent The inscription should have been
on the blade, sir. The scabbard may be
taken from ns, but the sword, never!”
The sword cost about SSOO, the prin

“What the dash are yon here for?”
said an angry passenger, stepping down
slowly from the footboard of a trolley
car. He thought the conductor should
have looked oat for him and stopped the
car where he wanted to get «ff, a block
back.
“I’ll show you What I’m here for,”
said the conductor, reaching for the
bellcord (ting, tfagl) as he spok% and
“Zip, zip, zip,” came the sound of
the motorman's lever turning to the
notches, and
“Bz-z-zs-zz-zz!” sang the trolley,
and before be knew it the passeoger
found himself standing alone to th*

Professor Morse, the inventor of the
telegraph, was fa Palis when the news
was published, and at ouoe went to see
Daguerre’s wouderlul ;.ictarfa In de
soribing them afterward he said that
moving objects made no impression on
tbs plate, for a pictuie taken of a
crowded boulevard showed it as if en
tirely deserted, with the exception of a
man having his shoes polished. The
man’s feet, he said, were well defined,
because they were kept stationary, but
be was without head or body, for these
were in motion.
To America belongs the honor of
making the first photographic portrait,
the artist being Professor John Draper,
a professor and afterward the president
of the University cf New York. His
victim was his sister, Miss Catherine
Draper. He powdered her face, that the
likeness might be more quickly im
pressed on the sensitive plate, and for
80 minutes Miss Draper sat—or, at
least, tried to sit—as immovable as a
statue.
The first class fa photography was
formed in Boston in the spring of 1840
by Daguerre’s agent, Gourad of Paris.
The Rev. Edward Everett Hale, then a
student fa Harvard, became an enthusi
astic member of the class. In his diary,
under date of April 1, 1840, is this en
try: “On my way home I stopped at the
shop and got my daguerreotype ther
mometer. There seems to be a great de
mand ; there were three or four others
there. ”
THE RICH RUSSIAN.
Ha Haa a Weakneaa For an Army of Fam
ily Servants.
We were a family of 8, occasionally
of 10 or 12 says Prince Kropotkin to
The Atlantic, but 50 servants at Mos
cow, and half as many more in the
country, were considered not one too
many. Four coachmen to attend a dozen
horses, three cooks for the masters and
two more for the servants, a dozen men
to wait upon us at dinner time—one
man, plate in hand, standing behind
each person seated at the table—and
girls innumerable in the maidservants’
room, but how could any one do with
less than this?
Besides, the ambition of every landed
proprietor was that everything required
for his household should be made at
home by his “own” men.
“How nicely your piano is always
tuned. I suppose Herr Schimmel must
be your tuner?” one of the visitors
would remark.
To be able to answer, “I have my
own piano tuner,” was in those times
the correct thing.
“What beautiful pastry!” the guests
would exclaim when a work of art,
composed of ices and pastry, appeared
toward the end of the dinner. “Conftss,
prince, that it comes from Tremble”
(the fashionable pastry cook).
“It is my own confectioner, a pupil
of Tremble, whom I have allowed to
show what he can do,” was the reply
which elicited general admiration.
To have embroideries, harnesses, fur
niture—in fact everything—made by
one’s “own” men was the ideal of the
rich and respected landed proprietor.

No greater contrast could possibly be
imagined than that which existed be
tween the Bismarck of private life and
the Bismarck of politics. “In the home
circle,” writes a correspondent who
knew him well, “he was perfectly
charming, easy going and goodnatured.
He was passionately fond of children,
and I have seen him over and over again
have a game with the little ones of his
gardener, who were very familiar with
him and would not hesitate to climb
upon his knee.
“Once when his gardener’s little girl
died the great statesman went to con
dole with him. He was dreadfully up
set and while holding the poor father’s
hand bunt into tears, for he was very
fond of the child. He kissed the little
corpse and himself placed a bunch of
roses in its hand. He was always eager
to assist his poorer neighbors and en
joyed chatting with them on all sub
jects but politic* These he never men
tioned. ” —London Chronicle.

The stern professor of the feminine
preparatory school sat at his desk try
ing to unravel a knotty problem when
a fluffy haired miss of 16 approached.
“Please, sir,” she began in a tremu
lous voice, “will you grant me permis
sion to go out riding with my brother
this afternoon?”
Now, the old man had not forgotten
the days of his youth, neither was he a
fool, and looking over his spectacles be
slowly said:
“Bo you want to go riding with your
brother, do you? By the way, is this
brother of yours any relation to yon?”
