4 He Obeyed Orders.
General Dabney ©. Maury in his|
“Incideats of General T. J. Jackson”
says that when the war between the!
statex broke out Jackson was the pro-
fessor of mathematics at the Military |
College of the South. He wished |
strongly to take command of a cadet |
corps. but the heads of the institu-
tion were desirous to have him con. |
tinue hix teaching. Governor Wise |
called out the state troops and ordered |
that a corps of cadets be held ready |
for immediate service, liuckson, then,
major. veported at once at the guard.
room as ready for duty. General’
Smith said:
“Major Jackson, you will remain as
wou are until further orders.”
Jackson at that moment was sitting |
on a camp steo! in the guardroom with |
his saber across his knees. At reveille
the next morning he was found in the
same position.
“Why. major, why ave you here?” ex-
<laimed General Smith.
“Because Inst night you ordered me:
%o remain where I was,” was the reply. |
Royal Jewels in Pawn.
The ex-Suitan Abdul Aziz pawned all |
his crown jewels for a million frances |
at the Mout de Piete at Paris, and!
they wore only. just redeemed by the!
Moorish government in time to pre-:
vent their being sold among other un-
redeemed goods.
The sword of state, which is regard-
od in Servin as a sacred relic, was also |
pawned by a former king. while one!
well known Kuropean monarch found |
himself in such straitened circum-!
stances that the famous house of At-
tenborough once temporarily had pos-
wession of all his old silver.
Queen Isabelia was, however, the |
most famous royalty who made no,
secret of the fact that she raised mon-
«y upon the security of the portraits
of her aucestors. which hung on the
walls at the palace Catile. her PPari-
sian home. The royal lady often de-
«<lared how deeply she wax indebted to
her voyal forbears for coming to her
rescue nnd helping her out of her tinan-
«fal predicaments.—Loundon M. A. BP.
The Road to Success.
Just tack this up somewhere where
you can see it:
Success consists in getting out of
yourself everything that's in you. It
does not consist in doing almost quite |

er fellow. What the other fellow does
doesn't amount to a dent in a door.

His Good Action.
A little Canadian boy went to bed
and then suddenly recollected that he
hadn't done one good action that day.
His conscience was gnawing at him.
He heard a little squeal in the corner
of his room, and he got up and re-
feased a mouse that had been caught
in the trap. Then he gave it to the

A Noted London ‘Spot. the Scene eof
Many Famous Occurrences.
Tower Hill is perhaps both the most
important eminence and the most no-
Few of us
think what great persons have quietly
livedd there and what others, equally
great, have wept and died upon it.
To it, or rather to Great Tower
street, came Rochester to pursue his
trade as an Italian fortune teller,
while the bedizened Buckingham of-
ten walked thither to consult a con-
jurer, a shrewd, farseeing rogue, who,
when Felton bought at the cutler's
shop on the summit of the hill for a
shilling the knife with which he killed
the duke's father. may have known

ATHLETIC DEVOTIONS.
| Gymnastic Exercises That ioprisnes]
the Kurdish Villagers. |
Everything is lable to be misunder- |
stood, even gymnastic exercises. This |
truth was brought home to George H. |
Hepworth, and he tells his experience
in “Through Armenia on Horseback.” |
The author was stopping in a Kurdish |
village, and the inn possessed but one ’
general living room,
In the morning 1 began my regular
gymnastics, stooping until my fingers
touched the floor, throwing my arms |
about like the spokes of a wheel, strik- |
ing out from the shoulder and going
through all the exercises, none of which !
I ever omitted. 1 would gladly have
taken a sponge bath, but it would have !
been impossible to get enough water. |
A pint is enough to suffice a Turk. :
Well, I got under way with my exer- |
cises when 1 saw that my audience |
was excited; conversation dropped into
a whisper, then ceased; word passed ;
from one to another, and one by one |
the occupants of the room quietly left. |
1 feared that they were offended and |
wanted to call them back and apolo-
gize. Just then my deagoman entered,
Inughing.
“What has happened?” 1 asked.
He laughed the harder as he replied:
“The Kurds think you are practicing
devotional religious exercises, and they |
retired under the impression that you
would regard their presence as an in-
trusion.”
Invisible Indians.
All Indinns seem to have learned a
wonderful way of walking unseen, |
making themselves invisible like cer: |
tain spiders, which, in case of alarm,
caused, for example, by a bird alight-
ing on the bush their webs are spread |
upon, immediately bounce themselves
up and down on their elastic threads
80 rapidly that only a blur is visible.
The wild Indian power of escaping |
observation, even where there is little |
or no cover to hide in, was probably |
slowly acquired in hard hunting and
fighting lessons while trying to ap-
proach game. take enemies by surprise
or get safely away when compelled to
retreat. And this experience transmit-
ted through many generations seems
at length to have become what is
vaguely called instinet.—-John Muir in
Atlantic,
An Elusive Water Lily. i
The water lily of the Amazon has |
very elusive habits. The buds open
twice, the first time just a chink at
the tip In the early sunrise hours, a
sort of premonitory symptom. Oy the
following evening it spreads its four
sepals with such alacrity that you can
see them move, Dut the big white bud
among them remains unchanged until
4 o'clock in the morning, when it har |
riedly spreads its blossom wide open,
remaining in this condition only half
an hour. Within the hour it has near-
ly closed, and by another hour and a
half the entire flower has been drawn
under water by the coiling of the stalk.
Diamonds. i
Diamonds were first brought to Eu.
rope from the east, where the mine
of Sumbulpoor was the first known.
Golconda, mow in ruins, was once n
| celebrated diamond mart. The mines
of Brazil were discovered in 1728 and
for a long time furnished most of the
diamonds of commerce, In 1867 dia-
monds were discovered in Cape Colo-
ny, and in 1870 the wonderful finds in
the Transvaal were made which re-
sulted in the immense fortunes of the
late Cecil Rhodes and others. Most
of the diamonds of the world are now
furnished by the South African fields.

“And so your father refuses to con-

“He does, Rodolphus.”
The sad youth swallowed a sob.
“Is there nothing left for us, then,
but an elopement ?"* said he.
“Nothing.”
The girl was fond, but firm.
“Do you think. Clementine, that you
could abandon this luxurious home,
forget all the enjoyments of great
wealth, banish yourself forever from
your devoted parents’ hearts and go
west with a poor young man to enter
a home of lifelong poverty and self
denial?’
“1 could, Rodolphus.”
The sad youth rose wearily and
reached for his hat.
“Then,” said he, “you are far from
being the practical girl 1 have all
along taken you to be.”
And with one last look around on
the sumptuousness that some day he
had hoped to share he sobbed and said
