Thirty or forty years ago, perhaps
even more than now, the queen’s
messenger was a personage of first
importance on the road, claiming
the earliest attention from guards
and porters, dvility and expedition
at every customs frontier, and the
beet places in train and steamboat.
In the present day, traveling always
by train among the ever increasing
crowd of tourists, the eomfort and
prestige of u journey with dispatches
to somewhat on the wane, and ex
cept in times of war the adventures
of the queen's messenger are re
duced to the possible chance of a
railway smash.
Only a few years have passed,
however, since most of the habitues
of the mail 'route between London
and Paris must have been familiar
with the bluff and burly presence of
Major X., the Ajax of the corps of
queen’s messengers, and hero of tt
hundred tales. We can see him now,
striding from the train to the boat
at Dover, followed by two portent
bearing the dispatch bags. Passen
gers scattorriglit and left as he calls
in loud, commanding tones, "E-room
for her majesty's dispatches!" and
the little procession, headed by the
major, stops across the gangway and
finds its way to the proper reserved
cabin.—Quarterly Review.

A comical mishap befell a young

A Cool RooiS, He.
Remarkable for hto self possession,
even in the most trying moments of
battle, was the famous and now aged
Marechal' McMahon. One day he
was dictating a letter to hto secretary
in the midst of an action when a
shell from the enemy'B camp fell di
rectly upon his tent and exploded
within a few feet. Pale with fright
the secretary sprang up, leaving hto
letter.
"What’s the matter!" asked the
marechal.
"The shell," gasped the frightened
subordinate.
"And what has the shell to do with
the letter you are writing! Go on
with your work, sir.”—Exchange.
Wboro Crippled Abound.
In a little town of Connecticut
nearly every person one meets to a
cripple. Men without arms or legs,
or with badly scarred and injured
faces, meet you at every turn, until a
viator begins to feel as if visiting the
grounds of some great hospital after
a recent battle. The secret of this
strange condition of the population
to that situated near by are the great
est powder mills in the world, and
all the cripples ■ have been maimed
by explosions.—Exchange.
