ROBERTS AND WELLINGTON.
The Lord Puts on Record His Estimate ol
the Iron Duke.
Lord Roberts has put on record his osti
znato of tbe great Duke of Wellington. “A
study of Wellington's life nnd writings,”
ho writes, ••leads mo to the conoiusiuu
that ho has been somowhat overrated as a
man nnd greatly underrated as a com
mander. Stress Is often laid on the strict
sense of duty by which ho Is supposed to
have been specially actuated, tho inference
being thnt personal ambition had little to
do with his offorts to succeed In tho tasks
Intrusted to him. That Wellington was
honorable, straightforward, resoluto and
pntriotlo none can deny, hut there appears
to be no instance In his military career of
adopting a course whero his duty was op
posed to his own interests, or of his being
called upon to sacrifice tho latter in order
to carry out tbe formor.
"In his case the paths of duty nnd of
personal advancement wero Idontlcal, and
it seems, therefore, hardly reasonably to
assume that ho differed from other great
military leaders—such as Caesar, Marlbor-
ough or XmjiuIi 1 in—In l«'ing devoid of t hat
desire for distinction and power which is
one of tho most potent incentives to exer
tion. At the beginning of the peninsular
war bis own words were, ‘Thoball is now
at my foot, nnd I hope I shall have
strength enough to givo It a good kick!’
and tho principal reason I10 gave for wish
ing to leave India was that ho would ho
moro likely to get on in Europo. Possessed
of many admirable* qualities, Wellington
gained tho esteem and confidence, but not
tho affection, or his soldiers. By nature
reserved nnd unsympathetic—perhaps n
little selfish—ho regarded his army In th«
light of a fighting machine. Whon Uk
tusk was performed and peace estabjiaSw*
ho ceased tottssoclato with tho officers who
had boon most intimately connected with
him in tho field, nnd ho did llttlo or noth
ing to promote the welfare of Ids soldiers
or to mnko tho nation understand what a
debt of gratitude it owed him."—Scottish
Amorlcan.
Costly Wines.
At a sale in 1858 of tho effoctsof tho de
ceased Duchoss do Raguso tho Into Baron
Rothschild paid its weight in gold for 44
bottles of Madeira. This wine, it appears,
was fished up in 1814 from a shipwrecked
at tho mouth of tho Scheldt In 1778,
whero it hnd lain during thnt interval.
Louis XVI11 bought it at thnt time, and
part of it was presented to tho French con
sul, and thus camo Into tho hands of the
Duo do Raguse. Tho weight of n bottle of
wine, including bottle, is about two
pounds avoirdupois, so that nt this calcu
lation each bottlo would have cost about
*570. Prlnco Worouzoff, it Is said, sells
his Tokay, 220 years old, for *45 a bottle.
In tho famous cellars of tho Hotel do
VUle, Bremen, thoro are a dozen cast s of
holy wlno which have been presorved for
25'» years. This calculation lias boon mi.de
in regard to it: If tho cost of maintain
Ing tho cellar, payment of rent, interim t
upon the orlglnnl vnluo of tho wlno m.d
othor proper Incidental charges aronm
elderod, a bottlo of this choice liquor be*
cost *2,000,000, each glassful 3272,T'O.
and a slnglo drop could not be sold with
out loss under *200.—Brooklyn Eagle.
She was dressing very carefully and ex-
<: a...;, f • Havi-rt'-ns’ dance, -u.d yet
with a certain nervous abstraction. Now
and then she would stand still, lost in im
aginings; then she would set her teeth and
dress frenziedly for a spell. Clearly it was
j not easy to rehearse a scv*nc of reproach and
1 .‘corn and to put in judicious hairpins si
multaneously. But she realized that a per
fect confidence iu her own appearance
might materially influence her courage
when the moment for the scene came, and
that the moment should come tonight and
at the Havertons' dance she was fully and
desperately determined.
Surely if ever a man deserved punishment
At tbe hands of woman that man was Ashby
Eldon. He had behaved unforgivably.
Sho had met him for tbe first time at
Nice in the early part of this winter. She
was there with an enervated aunt. He was
there on mere pleasure and had given hex
to understand that bo had fled from a hot
house atmosphere of tiresome adulation in
London to bathe his soul in pure sunshine.
Ho had talked culture and personalities in
perfect proportion. He bad been charming,
had worn striped linen, a pointed beard and
a smile of fascinating fatigue; he had del
uged her with expensive flowers. At first
these flowers had como with a mere card.
A little later the card was often Inclosed in
a sealed envelope and covered with some
suggestive little quotation from the French
or German poets.
Still later the flowers had come without
a word, bearing their own message, and
when be noted a spray or two in her dress
he would perhaps steady his eyes on here
for a moment, hold her band the fraction
of • MMod too long for mere convention—
or tell her in a thousand wordless ways
that she was a charming woman in his
eyes, and thnt ho knew sho knew it. And
never a hint or sign of his engagement tc
that Miss Trevors! It was incomprehensi
ble—unspeakable I
If he hnd not mentioned by chanco that
Lady Ifaverton was ids aunt, if on her re
turn from Nice she had not taken enormous
trnnhls to cultivate Lady H&verton and
lead her talk on to Ashby Eldon, she might
have dwaddled in her fool's paradise to the
day of his wedding announcement.
Well, tbe days of woman's "silent suffer
ings” were over now, thank heaven 1 She
had been reading a striking article on this
theme in some magazine only last week. A
woman was no longer a man’s prey—she
was his equal, his rival, and tonight she
would prove it. Sho would speak her mind
honestly, grandly, without flinching. She
foresaw every detail of the interview. He
would be standing in the doorway ol the
ballroom when she arrived. Sho would pass
him by. Ho would speak to her, and she
would raise her eyebrows in calm surprise,
answering in icy term* But ho should
write his name on her programme, and
when his dance camo around she would ask
to sit it out. Silently sho would lead the
way to an empty room—the little boudoir
at tbe back of the conservatory. And
then—
How she would tear him with her weap
ons of scorn and disgust. She would make
him feel like a cur.
Tho hottest words seemed insufficient
punishment when she thought what suffer
ing he might have anused her! It was the
merest clianco that sho had not lost her
heart to him—the merest chanco. Why did
tho face in the glass twitch as she said that!
She would say it again and say it out loud.
It was the purest piece of luck that sho had
not fallen in love with Ashby Eldon. Hi
had done his best. He was a brute. Yes,
he was. She didn’t care. lie was.
How hideous red eyelids could make one
look! They took all the poetry out of whiti
cheek* Why had sho been the fool tochoosc
her pink silk for tonight? Ana what would
It matter if she woro green baize? Hateful
world 1
It was packed at tbe Havertons'. Elevec
o’clock and I.- was not there.
She danced a great deal.
Half post 11 nnd be was not there.
She sat out a great deal.
Half past 12 and be was not there.
She was getting too tired to smile.
She must go homo now.
"Good night. Lady Haverton—a delight
ful evening ” Yes, she was feeling a little
Good night onco more and out on tc
What To epic Write Fcr.
Mr. Froude, in ono of our earliest talks,
said:
"And why do you want to raeddlo with
biography? Why can't you bo content to
Writ* three volume novels?"
"1 havo no invention," said L
"Then I suppose you can’t write that

•LADY" FOR “MADAM."
A Young Woman of Observation Criticises
the 1'orin of Address.
“Three times today," said a young wo
man of observation, "I was addressed ns
'Indy,'I roonn In tho vocative. In two
cases, I was bidden to oome ‘this way,
lady,' by shop attendant* and in tho third
ca.**o my dentist's servant told me that it
was my 'turn next, lady.' I have noticed
for some time tho growing tendency to
uso this form of addreis, and Jack tells
mo that he has remarked the somo thing
In people addressing him. Ho told mo
only yesterday that he was running up the
stairs at tho elevated station down at the
city hall when, thinking of something
else, ho took tho wrong landing. A serv
ant of tho 1 ad barred his way nnd said,
‘Tho other etalrs to the tloket office, gen-
tbman ' Jack t-aid, moreover, that hu
didn't ill:*? the form of address, not that it
was not perfectly renpectful, ho said, nnd
ho k( pt thinking ;ib ut it all th.- way
hoi.10. S>, t..o. I d'.n't imn-1 conf-.-^ing
J that 1 don't lik«- to ho told to corne this
way,‘lady,’or asked if I will buy any
thing, ‘lady.’
"I know that it is n stylo of address that
used to bo considered tho exclusive proper
ty of gy[,and Ntilorinm, oml I dun':
know if I should not bo perfectly content
to havo it remain so. Possibly tho spread
of i M 1s another ovldcnco of tho freedom of
tho age, and possibly, too, tho shop attend
ant nnd the dentist’s servant wero of tho
opinion that to say ‘lady’ Indicated a
much less degree of inferiority than to 6ay
‘ma’am’ or‘madam.’ If that Is their opin
ion, I should liko to havo tho opportunity
of telling them that they are very much
mistaken. For ono woman to address an
other woman or for a man to address a
woman as ‘madam' botrays no senso of in
feriority on tho part of tho speaker. It is
simply the recognized form of address of
ono person—equal or not equal—to nnoth
cr person when the name of tho person ad
dressed need not or cannot bo mentioned,
and I for one am notan admirer of tho in
novation. I would rather bo asked *o come
‘this way, please,' or oven, Just curtly,
‘this way,’ than bo bowed to nnd smiled
nt when somo clerk tells mo that tho rib
bons are ‘this way, lady.’ Lady is n very
cuckoo among words anyhow. It has
foisted poor‘woman’ out of * her proper
place nnd now is trying to oust plain
'ma'am.' "—Now York Sun.
A Dog's Bed.
Wo havo scon a little dachshund which
would not go to her basket until tho blan
ket hnd been held to tho hall stove. This
she required to be dono In summer ns well
as winter, though tho stove was not light
ed. A spaniel kept in a stable used always
to leave its konnel to sleep with tho horso.
Hounds mako a joint bed on tho bench
after a long run, lying book to back, and
so supporting ono another. But sporting
dogs should havo proper beds, mado like
shallow boxes, with sloping sides. They
are far more rested in tho morning than
if simply left to llo on straw. This was
noted by n olovor old Devonshire clergy
man, a great sportsman, who observed
that his best retrieving spaniel used al
ways to got into on empty wheelbarrow to
sleep whon tired. The dog's bed should be
a rough reproduction of tho barrow with
out tho wheel.—Sneotator.
