Left Behind in the Desert by All His Comrades. He had been thrown out as a videtle, and for hours he had peeped into the darkness around him to watoh for the slightest sign of danger—listened like one who realized that the wily "Arab of the desert steals upon his prey with all the silent cunning of the American In dian. As the stars of the night began to pale before the advance of dawn be felt like one reprieved. While he watched, the enemy had, for once, seemed to sleep. Daylight would bring a continuation of the march, and eveiy hour would witness a skirmish, but ev en a battle does not unnerve a man like standing vidette on a lone and danger ous post. Whatl Has he became blind ? Day light now covers the desert, and the vidette is looking towarks the camp of the nignt. There is no camp. At midnight he left 800 of his comrades. This morning there is no sign of lire, lie looks to the right, but there is no vidette. lie looks to the left—no liv ing thing meets his eyes. He stands and peers and stares and 4 blinks. Is he awake? If so, is he blind? Has tbe night played some strange trick on him in this land of strange things and strange fancies? He moves toward tbe spot where the night halt was made, but he advances slowly and cautiously, and he hesitates now and then as if to reason with him self. Ah! He is neither blind or daft. Here is a cap—there a belt— here a rope—there a sack, tokprove that the camp had been here. Here are tracks of men and camels, there a broad trail leading away to the south. In the stillness of night a messenger bad come to the little band, ordering an instant change of march. Quietly and without alarm the men had turned out, j the beasts made ready, and the yidettes called in. Allbutoue! In tbe hurry and tbe darkness he had been overlook ed. Leading on his carbine and looking over the trail left to show the change of march, the soldier reasoned it all out. His command had been gone for hours. He was alone and on foot. Overtake them! He smiled grimly at the thought. The sun and sand and thirst of Egypt were as deadly enemies as the spears and bullets of the Arabs. He had neither food nor water. A hund red mi'es of burning sands, and hot winds lay between him and a blade of grass—a single drop of water. The soldier turned to survey the des ert plaiD. To the east, nothing but sand; to the north, nothing but sand; to the west, nothing but sand; to the south—ah! He straightened up, shad ed his eyes with his hand, and for a long minute continued his gaze, then he let his arm fall. A score of Arabs were riding down npon him. Without undue haste —with the dig nity befitting an old vereran—the sol dier took from his breast and pinned to his coat a medal. Upon its bright side were the words: "The Boer War." He pinned on another which said: "For Services in Zululand." Tnere was a third-a fourth—a fifth. In his twenty years of soldier life the old man had a thousand times been a target for bullets. This was his last campaign. Death was riding down upon him, and he would die like a soldier—as a Brit ish soldier. TWhen the savage horsemen were a half mile away they halted. The old soldier was ready and waiting. There was no thought of taking him a priso - ner—no thought of surrender. There was a moment of consultation, and then the bunch of horsemen deployed in line and advanced at a gallop.l Steady, now! Crack! Crack! Crack! Two horsemen tumbled from their sad dles—a third reeled about in his seat like a man mortally hit. Before anoth etshot could be fired the murderous lances drank blood and the old soldier lay dead. On the hot sands, his face upturned to his foes, and his medals shining as never before in a morning sun, lay the old man dead. And then not by the hands of friends—not by the hands of comrades—a sixth medal was placed upon his brawny breast. It was not of gold or silver, but something of more priceless value. It was the words of an Arab chieftain; • "Comrades, a brave man lies here!" —Detroit Free Press. Mr. Beecher on Oo oking. At a concert given for the benefit of the Working Girls' Society, Mr. Beecher, after describing the object of the society to be the education of the working girls in useful branches of knowledge, such as dress-making, cooking, type writing, millinery, etc., said; 'Of dress making, there is no need for me to speak. It comes by nature. But cooking; In all the ef forts that are being made known to economize and lift up tbe ignorant and the working classes of the com- NO. 3.

But the one neglected element of econ omy is cooking. It is astonishing to think what sort of thing we have to eat, and in what condition. I consid er the kitchen as being the devil's own organized kingdom against the king dom of health in the human family. The want of economy springing from the want of knowledge; the gross food, the greasy food; the want of delicacy and of regard for the fine ele ments of health and life—it is amaz ing, it is piteous, it is heathenish. The heathens live better than we do oftentimes in that regard. We do not want any French morality, but we should like some French cuisine— the art of one onion to make a dozen soups, every one of a different flavor; the art of rendering the poorest meat and the cheapest, such as are within the reach of all, into such tasteful and relisbful dishes as shall perfectly sat isfy the men that gorge themselves with pork and rnde beef and all that; and to teach young women how to wisely and economically aqd delicate ly to cook is to lay a foundation un der their future married life that will avail very much. I would not bold back any moral or religious element, but the kitchen has a great deal to do with grace in civilized circles. \ What the President and the Cabinet Read. 'Who is the best reader in the Cab inet?' a Washington bookseller was asked the other day. 'Folks say La mar is,' replied the dealer. 'He may be, but I never beard of his buying a book. If be reads he doesn't keep pace with the times. I reckon Bay ard is the best reader. He buys a great many books and keeps right a long with the best writers. His read ing is of a sober,. statesman-like char acter, and he does lots of it He comes in to boy his own books, and I have nfever seen bim look at a nov el. The President, I understand, is a good reader, but the only book I know of bis having bought is Blaine's. Hfc bought that a few days after he came to Washington. A great many books go to the White House. Col. La mout buys many good books and nearly all tbe popular periodicals, but I don't know who reads them. I suppose many are got for Miss Cleve land. Secretary Whitney reads a great deal. He doesn't confine him self however, to politics, history or philosophy. He is very fond of nov els and reads many. Some are the * best and some are the lightest. He reads such novels as 'The Vagrant Wife,' 'The Tinted Venus,' 'Called Back,' 'Struck Down,' Ac. Secre tary Endicott reads novels, too. But he never buys anything in English. He always gets French novels and reads a great many of them. The other members of the Cabinet we don't see mnch of. I guess there is no one in tbe Cabinet who buys so many good books as Blaine does. He buys everything on sober subjects by well-known anthors. He gets much the same books as Bayard does, only the range of Lis research is wid er. Logan isn't anything for baying books. Historical Trees. The tree under wbieh William Peon made his treaty with the Indians. The tree on Boston common, where, tradi tion says, seyen tories were hung. Elm tree on Oambridge common under which general Washington first drew his sword as commander'in-chief of the continental army. The charter oak. Pine tree near Fort Edward, N. Y., where Jane McCrea was murdered by the Indians. Tne thirteen trees planted by Gen. Alexander Hamilton on his estate near New York, repre senting the original thirteen States. The oak tree at Franklin, N. H., on which Daniel Webster, when a boy, hung his scythe and said to his father, 'Now the scythe hangs to suit me.' The apple tree at Appomattox under which General Grant received the sur render of General Lee. ,Old man Pennybaker has married again.' 'You don't tell me so.' 'Yes, and be has married a right youug girl, forty years younger than be is.' 'Well, I declare. His other wife on ly died six months *go and he went on so at the grave that I expected that he would loose his mind. 1 'Well, you see your prediction has come to pass.'— Teocas Siftings.
