Played Joke on Kitchener.
Tears ago Kitchener was in com¬
mand of raw Arab troops at Korosko,
on the Nile, There with a few other
English officers he schooled in civil¬
ized warfare Sheik Arnold and his
wild tribesman throughout the long
summer months. And during the
schooling some one put up a joke
upon the Arab chieftain and taught
him and all his men to heave a harm¬
less and unwitting insult at their dis¬
tinguished leader. The whole band,
yelling wildly, used to dash down to¬
ward the Nile bank, on which was
Kitchener’s tent, and halting sudden¬
ly r--od to salute in these words:
"Kitchener dam fool! Kitchener muf
fin man.” It was a harmless imbecil
itv, and its object was as much
amused by it a;; any one, though, of
course, the salute had to be altered,

RAPID GROWTH OF MOSCOW.
Russian City Will Soon Rank With
the Largest in Europe.
The population of Moscow shows a
remarkably rapid increase, Within
the comparatively short period of 30
years the number of inhabitants has
just about doubled. At the time of the
French invasion in 1812 the urban
Muscovites numbered about 300,000,
although the official returns were 252,
000. In 1871 the official census gavb
the population as 602,000, in 1882 it
was 768,000, and according to the
reckoning now completed the historic
capital contains 1,173,500 inhabitants,
thus taking the tenth place among the
most populous cities of the world.
Moscow covers an area of 101 square
kilometers, or only two kilometers less
than that of St. Petersburg. Area is
not, however, by any means a general
criterion, in questions of population, as
appears from the fact that whereas
London, with the largest population
oi any city in the world, covers 303
square kilometers, New York, with a
population numbering more than a
million less than that of the British
metropolis, has a total area of 795
square kilometers. The population of
Moscow is less dense than those of
St. Petersburg, Glasgow, London, Ber
Un and Paris.
A woman whose vocabulary is limit¬
ed to the words “get up” and “go” has
been adjudged insane. Yet “get up"
and “go" together express the quality
generally deemed essential to one seek¬
ing the sanest success.
THE COACHMAN’S PASSINC.
Tlie Old Timers Disappeared From the
Earth TVhcn Railroads Came.
One often wonders what became of
tile old coachman when railways drove
the last of the mails off the road and
those who had known few pleasures
that were not associated with the
movements of lively teams and the
hum of rolling wheels or genial inter¬
course with the traveling world could
enjoy those things no more. There
must be deep pathos in the unwritten,
romance of that period. With few ex
ceptions, the drivers of stage coaches
had no aptitude or inclination for other
work, though (hoy were masters of
their own. Many a time in boyhood
1 have heard amateur whips pay ad¬
miring tribute tqi the professionals of
an older generation who, for all their
diss ° hlte habits and tmeouthness, were
n 01 kmen to The core with hands as

w * Sl ‘ maxims are still remembered and
"worth remembering: “Never let your
horses know you are driving them, or.
hke women, they may get restive.
Don’t pull and haul and stick your el¬
bows akimbo; keep your hands as
though you were playing the piano;
let every horse he. at work and don’t
get flurried; handle their mouths light
ly; do all this, and you might even
drive four young ladies without ever
ruffling their feathers or their tem¬
pers.”—From the “Old Road Coach,” by
Henry II. S. Fesrse, in Outing.

/-The Medai of Honor.
Tim much coveted medal of honor
bestowed on officers and enlisted men
of Lhc army for exceptional acts of
Personal heroism, is a five-pointed star
8f bronze, tipped with trefoil,, each
point containing a crown of laurel and
oak. In ihe centre, within a circle
-of thirty-four stars, America personi
tied as Minerva, stands with her left
hand resting on the fasces, while with
her right, in which she holds a shield
emblazoned with the American arms,
she repulses discord, represented by
two snakes an each hand. Tho whole
is suspended by a trophy of two
crossed cannons, balls and a sword
surmounted by the American 'eagle.—

No C&ngc For Alarm.
Rev. Brown,in man of loss than mo
dium stature, possessed a high, squeaky
voice. i
Not long ago lie was invited to cx
change pulpits with a minister in a
neighboring city. The church in which
he was to preach was much more im
posing than the home chapel.
Arriving early li'e peered from behind
the pulpit and watched what he con¬
sidered an immenke congregation with
trepidation.
As the last notes of the organ volun¬
tary died away his little head popped
up from behind the desk, and without
a word of warning he piped out, “It is
I, be not afraid.”—Lippineott.

The manufacture of black powder by
the Government of India has just been
abandoned by the closing of the works
at Ishapore, after having been in oper¬
ation for’more thun TOO yeirs. The
site of the factory, it 1* said, is to be
occupied by a rifle factory, the first of
its kind in India.
