WIT SAVKU 1IIM.
A brigado was enoampod noar Charles
ton, Va., says Alien P. Hall, in tho
Grand Army Sentinel, nnd a guard had
boon detailed to protect, tho property of
tho citizens in tho neighborhood nud
strict orders given against foraging or
tnkiug anything without paying for it.
Tho colonel of ono of tho regiments was
out ono day with his staff and nil of a
sudden ho camo upon a privato of his
regiment with a sheep on his back, evi
dently just killed. He rodo up to tho
soldior and asked him: "Wlioro did
you got that shcop?"
He answered : "Up hero in tho Held."
"Did you buy him?"
"No, air; I just killed him, so."
"Why, don't you know that strict
orders havo been issued against doing
anything liko that?"
" Yes, sir, I know it, and will tell you
how it was. I was going nloug tho road
whistling tho 'Star Spangled U.mner,'
nnd this sheep held up his head and
looked straight nt mo, nud said, 'ba-n,
ba-n,' uud, sir, I up and killed him, as I
won't allow anything to say 'ba-a' at
mo when I'm singing or whistling tho
'Star Spangled U.uincr.'"
It is needless to say tho colonel told
him to go alioad. Tho fellow's wit
saved him that time.

. JUVENILIA. .
Speaking of school storios, I wont to
school myself once, and ono day when
visitors wcro present, the teacher
thought ho would show off tho spelling
and defining clns. Things went on
woll until tho word 'singular' was given
out There seemed to bo a diversity of
opinion as to tho meaning of tho word,
one saying it meant ouo thing, and
another nnothor, until tho tcaohor, by
tho way of throwing light upon tho
matter, nsked:
"Now. if I should

wuereupon a bright boy shouted "A

A very interesting arllolo about fonth

Sovornl yoars ngo tho oaptnln of a trad
lng vossol mado his way up a shallow
rivor that fonnd lit way down to tho sea
nt tho southern oxtromlly of tho island,
and thero foil in with somo native tribes
that rnroly mingled with nowoomors or
whites. Among tho many curious ob
ject noticed by tho ciptnin nnd his men
nbout tho nativo villago woro somo
disho that woro usod to hold water and
I food of various kinds. Thoy hold about
I a gallon of liquid,, and woro round nt tho
I ends, so that thoy had to bo propped up.
I Tho captain nskod them why they did
not make them with bottoms so that
thoy would stand alone, whon to his
nstonlshmout ho was informed that tho
vases woro not mado by thorn but wcro
eggs and bo it proved. Thoy wero
enormous sholls, capablo whou perfect
of holding ovor two gnllons of water, or
to bo more accurate, oqual by exact
measurement to one hundred and fifty
hon's eggs.
From tho owner tho captain learned
that tho eggs camo from a locality not
far distant, and an expedition was
formed later that resulted in tho finding
not only of tho eggd but of tho remains
of four distinct kinds of tho enormous
birds, buried in vast sand honps that had
perhaps blown ovor thorn nnd their
nosts. Natives wero hired, and largo
trenches dug in various directions that
exposed many of tho bones.
In ono spot n great number of eggs
wcro unoovorod, but thoy woro mostly
broken j their being grouped togothor,
howovor, pointed to the belief that horo
was tho nest of tho great iEpyornis,
probably tho largest bird's nest in tho
world. Tho sand was carefully worked
away and tho great sholls exposed, but
nearly nil wero damaged or cracked, and
tho sand had drifted into thorn, making
ono good load for one man. But tho
nost was soon robbed, tho workmen
marching off with tho finds upon their
shoulders to doposit them in a place of
safety. Perfect ones in this country aro
extremely raro, and aro valued at $300

THE EMPRESS OF JAPAN.
Tho Empress Ham is a slight littlo
woman not flvo foet in height. Sho has
tho pale, yellow skin, tho finely cut
features and long oval face of tho high
casto Japanese. Although a friend to
nil progressive movements, tho patron
and instigator of many reforms and ad
vancement, nndawomau of surprisingly
modern vioivs, tho Empress still blaok
ens her tooth in tho old style, and thin
nrchos of eyebrows havo boon traced
nbovo thoso that sho dutifully shaved at
marriage. Boyoud a jowolod ornamont
fastened abovo her brow, her costumo
and coiffuro did not differ at all from
that of tho ladies surrounding her, and
nt a disttneo tho parasol was hor only
distinguishing mark. Nearer thoro was
a mnjosty of demeanor, a dignity of
presence, an impressive, intnngiblo
something, that divinity of a ruler, and
had sho stood in tho garden alono sho
would havo been ns impressive in man-'
ner nnd as much a sovereign as when sur
rounded by her suite, with court ond
strangers bowing low. Tho Empress
woro tho red slippers and skirt, nud n
kimono of rich bluish purplo silk, bro
endod with largo moon figures in palo
colors. Tho pointed neck was filled
with folds of white silk, nud sho balanced
in hor hand an umbrella of tho purplish
silk embroidered nil ovor with wistaria.
Sho passed straight on to tho long mar
quee tent, nud, giving her parasol to hor
attendant, entered and sat nlone in n
throne-liko chair boforo a largo oval
table. Hor sixteen attendants stood in
n piotnrcsquo and brilliant Iiuo behind
hor, and tho diplomats, tho othor ladies
and nobles woro seated at littlo tables
below her. Tho palaconttondants served
tho company to the elaborate collation
of everything boned, jellied nnd icod,
and truffled, tho beautiful set pieces
were broken up, nud chnmpaguo frothed
in thin crystal glasses graven with tho
imperial crest of tho sixteen-potallod
chrysanthemum. Evory ono was sorved
quiotly nnd decorously, tho bands

Ono of tho first lessons taught tho
flea is to control its jumping powers,
for if its great leaps bhould bo taken in
tho middlo of n performance, thero
would bo n sudden ending to tho circus.
To insure ngainst suoh n misfortune, tho
student lieu is first placed in a glass
vial, aud encouraged to jump ns much
as possible. Every leap horo mado
brings tho polished head of tho flea
against the glass, hurling tho insect
back, nnd throwing it this way and that,
until, after a long nud sorry experience,
and perhans many hoadaohes, it makes
np its mind never to unfold its legs sud
denly again. Whon it has provod this
by rofusiug to jump in the open air, tho

had excavated a envo in the depths of

leading into a veritablo fairyland. On

The King's eccentricities multiplied
with his years and his piivato foitune

tho civil lists was so entailed that for

nppoiiiien to examine tho mental con
dition of tho King, snl last week they
reported that his malady incapacitated
him from governing properly. In con

to tho King, issued a proclamation
