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 Life In the British Army, ” by a Brit ish Officer, in Harper’s Magasne. , ... . ..._ Bartos Tebueee.

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 houses.—Wine and Spirit Gazette. 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. Ia the Wrong; Place. A characteristic story of General Soott is told in connection with the sword presented to him by the state of Louis iana, through the legislature, at the 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 cipal expense being fa the scabbard, which was richly chased and ornament ed.—Exchange. laciaeat of Trolley TravoL “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* middle of the road.—New York San.

THE FIRST PHOTOGBAPHS. ntes faW Har Portrait. Elisabeth Flint Wade has an fllu*- trated paper on “Photography—lts Mar vels” fa St. Nicholas. Theauthcr The first accounts of this great dis- Sroveryara very tmtevtafaing reading 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. Btemarck as Dr. Jekyll. 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 Fieft— ti’i WhJaei. 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?” —Chicago News. farviaa Msrria*M. Servian men do not marry for Uve, but to secure an additional worker for the household, so very young men mar ry women several years older than themselves, as girls are less experienced in housework.
