THE DRUMMER.
la 1812, In tho Ninth Regiment of
the line, there wat a drummer boy only,
13 years of age, a child of the troop,
whose true name woe Frolijt, though,
the soldiers called him nothing but
Bllbouquet. Truly, with his tall, thin
body, surmounted by a big round
head, he certainly did resemble the
object which had earned him the so
briquet. Frolut, or Bllbouquet, as you please,
was not In other respects a remark
able boy, and the drum major of the
roglment frequently beat the measure
on his shoulders with the end of his
long drum staff till the music of tho
rat-a-tat hail entered head na well as
hands. Moreover, for some reason
which Frolut could never explain, his
regulation drummer's cap refused to
hang upon his ear na it did upon the
others, and as yet ho was too young
and awkward to march and twist him
self gracefully like his superiors.
One day, when In a fit of ungovern
able vanity, he tried to wear a sword
between his legs like tho elegantes of
the regiment, he got it entangled In
his feet and tumbled upon his noso,
to the great amusement of his com
rades, laughing, as they always did,
nt thoso whom they considered thoir
Inferiors. In addition to his other
misfortunes Uilboquet's manners were
against him, but then how could one
expect him to be less than Bavage and
reserved, singularly so for his ago,
when he had always been subjected
to tho roughest treatment. There
was no doubt about It, bad luck pur
sued him, or as the men expressed it,
"the devil sat upon his back."
Even at drogue he always lost, and
whether It was the ill nature of the
other petit tambours, or that he really
had, as they claimed, a nose like a po
tato, he was greeted every morning
with the same stale Joke: "Marshal
thy nose Into line, Bllboquet, or we'll
do It for thee," and they would fall
upon the youngster and pinch and
pull It so horribly that frequently It
would bleed and was sore for hours.
If he cried at such treatment, or
when they slapped his palms In tho
game of "main claudo" till, red and
blistered, they called him "girl" and
"baby" and slapped them harder than
ever, In order, they said, to seo the
drum major at tho morning's exercises
establish the time on Bllboquet's bach
when his still tender Angers failed to
bring out the ra' and tho 'fla' with
perfect precision."
The child had reason to be disgusted
with military life, but, as I said a
while ago, he was close mouthed and
held himself aloof from the others.
One morning, the 12th of July, if I
remember aright, the general in com
mand received orders from the Emper
or to take up his position on the other
side of a narrow ravine, a dangerous
place at the best of times, and now
defended by a battery of six cannon
commanding Its approaches and our
entire file as soldiers as well. To
reach the place designated by the Em
peror it was necessary to take this
battery on the banks of tho Dwlna,
for the events that I am relating to
you took place in tho famous cam
paign against Russia.
All at once they seo coming at full
gallop on aide-de-camp of the general
bearing the order for two companies
of the sharpshooters to advance upon
tho battery. Three-fourths of them
were bound to be killed, and the Voltl
geurs, in spite of their intrepidity,
point to the yawning cannon and
grumble openly.
"Does the General look upon us as
roasted apples?" they say; "does ho
wish to serve us as mincemeat to the
Cossacks, that he sends but 200 of us
against a redoubt like this?"
"It is the order of the Emperor,"
answered the aide-de-camp, as he files
away.
"All right; let us do it then," cried
tho sergeant-major, adjusting his bay
onet to the end of his gun; "let us do
it at once; we musn't koep the Little,
Corporal waiting. When ho has or
derod us to be killed, he doesn't like
to see us sulking."
Nevertheless, there was still a per
ceptible hesitation in the company.
The captain had twice ordered tho
drum-major to call the tambours to
the front to beat the charge, but he
remained leaning upon his long staff,
wagging his head, a'nd little disposed
to obey.
All this while Bllboquet was seated
astraddle his drum, his eyes upon his
chief, his Hps whistling softly to him
self the air of the fife and his flngors
tattolng the charge. As the com
mand to forward comes again and for
the third time from tho captain, he
leaps to bis feet, places his drum
sticks In position, passes under the
noso of the drum-major and with a
scournful "como on, old girl, come on!"
pours out In a single phrase all the
anger and Insults that he has treas
ured in his heart.
The drum-major raises his cane, but
it is too late Bllboquet Is at tho head
of the two companies and beating tho
charge like a mad one. Tho soldiers
follow him and rush upon that terri
ble battery. The cannons roar, tho
Voltlguers roll in the dust, many of
them to rise no more; the smoke,
blown by tho wind, envelopes us like
a cloud, tho noise deafens us, but as
it lifts a moment and floats away we
can still see upright bofore us not
twenty steps In advance the daunt-
t'puro r.f the little drummcY beat
pr the charge; wo could ever hear,
cpMo na it was, tho sound of his ln
'nimcnt, passionately bidding da
iiinrn to every Cossack in creation.'
T'.ie Voltlgeurs rush on, Bllboquet
.lways abend of them with his ceaso
f!9 lalnplan. The battery roara
iKaln. a perfect storm of shot pour
nf? upon the Infuriated debris of our
.wo beautiful companies scarcely 60
men remnln of the brave 200 and
never had the drum-major himself
mounded the charge as Bllboquet
sounds It now sternly, boldly, and,
Ire;! by the fever of vengeance, pile
'its nrnm with the strength of twenty.
When the smoke lifts anew tho bat
tery Is taken.
In the meantime Napoleon, mounted
upon a knoll to the right, 10,000 sol
diers of the Guard behind him,
watches them as they execute his or
ders, and as the remnant of tho Voltl
guers enter the battery, he signs to
an nldo-de-cnmp, who gallops away, to
return almost immediately.
"How many?" the Emperor asks
him, as he Btops before him; "how
ninny creeses will be needed to-morrow?"
"Korty," the officer replied; "forty
t'.ie rest ore dead!"
And tho next day, as Napoleon had
r.p!d, tho regiments were gathered to
gether to see tho distribution of the
medals to the gallant handful who
h:id executed so faithfully the Emper
or's will. Ono by ono the names of
tho survivors had been announced and
the cross of honor bestowed. The cere
mony Is ended and all are about to re
tins when suddenly there Is a stir
among the soldiers, and a shrill volca
sounds from the ranks:
"But me," it cries. "Me you'vo
then mo nothing!" and Gen. B ,
who had charge of tho distribution of
the crosses, turns about to find planted
heforo him our little Bllboquet, his
checks as rod as fire and his eyes full
of tears.
"You!" cries the officer astounded;
"you, my boy! Why, what do you want
me to give you? What did you ex
pect?" ,
"Tho cross like the others," Biibo-qui-t
promptly answered; "it was I
who boat the chnreo on tho battery I
was tho first to enter!"
! "And you thought wo had forgotten
you! But you are too young, my boy,
', to havo tho cross yet," said tho gon-
1 oral, kindly, seolng that he was only a
child; "we will give It to you when
you've a beard on your chin llko tho
others. Here's something to console
you while waiting;" and, slipping hla
hnnd Into hio pocket he drew forth a
twonty-franc pieco and held it out to
i the little fellow.
! Bllboquet looked at It, but without
I a thought of taking It, great tears
rolling from his eyes and down his
cheeks ns, motionless as stone, ho
. stood bofore the general. Even those
' who had teased him most, touched by
his grief, were about to Intercede for
him. Bllboquet, however, did not give
them timo, and suddenly, as If seized
with a new Idea, reached out his hand,
took the money from the general and
I without more ado put It In his pocket,
I saying as he turned away:
i "Thanks, my general; It will do an
other time!"
From this day forth they cease to
mock at Bllboquet. All tho same, ho
was no more communicative than be
fore. On the contrary, he was con
stantly burled in thought, as if re
volving some project In his mind, and
Instead of regaling his companions, as
, they had expoctod him to do, with tho
1 money he had received from the gen
eral, he guarded It more carefully
than before.
Not long after tho taking of the
battery of the Dwlna the French
troops entered Smolensk victorious
and Jubilant, Bllboquet with them, of
course, and greatly pleased at the
sights about the city which ho had
asked to be allowed to visit almost at
tho moment of arrival. Yet after all
it soemed to be the faces of the peopla
In which he took the greatest interest,
considering and examining them after
the fashion of an amateur choosing
merchandise.
I must admit, however, that it was
net the peasants he regarded thus, with
their long bushy beards; doubtless
they were well enough, and bountiful
ly supplied, but of such an ugly, un
pleasant red that Bllboquet, after a
moment's scrutiny, turned away his
eyes and continued his way.
At last, wandering along in this
fashion, our petit tambour came to
the Jewish quarter, for the Jews of
Smolensk, like the rest of the Jows of
Poland and Russia, confine themselves
to a certain quarter.
When Bllboquet entered it you can
Imagine his delight, for of all the
beards in the world tho Jaws ossured
! ly have the loveliest, long, silky and
j black as ebony, and it was beards that
the little drummer boy was hunting.
I Soma half way up tho street he found
i tho shop he wanted, tho master of it
bearded like a Turk.
"Vot vlll you haf, my leetlo sir?"
cried the merchant, civilly, as ho
crossed the threshold, "vot can I git
you,"
"Your beard," replied Bllboquot,
without stopping to parley.
"My beard!" repeated the Jew, as
tolnshed, "you are Joking!"
"I am not," said Bllboquet again.
placing his hand upon the pocket
whero his money rested, "but do not
think I want to rob you; here's a na
poleonyou can give me change," and
ho threw It upon the counter between
them.
In vain did the merchant endeavor
to make Bllbcquot hear reason; he was
na obstinate as a blind horse, and en
paged In such a wrangle that beforo
long he attracted the attention of somo
soldiers passing in the street, who
stopped to learn the motive of tho
quarrel. Tho notion of tho littlo
drummer boy struck them ns so par
ttcularly funny that they sided with
him, and compelled the unfortunate
nrcprletor to give up his beard, one of
them, tho braggart as well as tho bar
ber of the regiment, drawing a razor
from his pocket and shearing him
without mercy or lather.
Having horribly skinned the Jew, he
rrnvo tho shearing to the delighted
Bllboquet, who carried It at once to
tho tailor of tho regiment and had it
sewed to a piece of sheepskin taken
from a broken drum. All this was the
to lie of the regiment for several days,
but as no ono could get from him what
ho Intended to do with it, it was for-
Kott.cn In other things, for wo were
now on the march again.
With the history of this campaign
my story has nothing to do. I need
only remind you that from the time of
our arrival at Moscow misfortunes be
gan, the cold and the devastation de
priving us of all cur resources. Fam
ine struck us, and soon the retreat
was ordered the retreat across a des
ert country covered with endless
snows. The memory of that horrible
disaster Is too painful for me to enter
Into detnlls.
Everyone returned as best ho could,
and It was with difficulty that a few
regiments could be kept together to
represent the body of the army and
obey the orders of the general. Bll
boquet's was one of these, and he was
of tho rear guard that prevented tho
thousands of Cossacks who followed
tho army from massacrelng the unfor
tunate and solitary soldiers.
One day they had Just retreated
across a little river, and to retard the
pursuit of tho enemy the general had
ordered the destruction of tho bridge
over which th.ey had passed, a fragile
wooden ono; but the barrels of gun
powder hastily placed produced but
little effect, and though the arches
were displaced and thrown Into tho
water, the framework caught and re
mained resting upon a single beam,
which bo held It that the enemy on
arrival could easily secure and recon
struct It,
The general, knowing that the safety
of the entire army depended upon tho
destruction of tho bridge, ordered back
the sappers to cut the beam and tear
away tho clinging framework.
As they were ready to embark, how
ever, the enemy arrived on the other
bank of the river and began such a
rain of bullets that it seemed impos
sible for any sapper to reach it alive.
They were about to gtvo it up and to
defend themselves as best thoy could,
when all at once they saw a soldier
leap from their ranks into the river,
his ax upon his shoulder.
Tho plunge carried him out of sight
of course, but soon he reappeared, his
long, flowing beard and peculiar cap
showing him to be a sapper thus of
fering himself as a sacrifice for the
safety of others. That the water about
him boiled with the bullets of the
enemy, you can be sure, nevertheless
ho continued to advance bravely, vig
orously, and fivo minutes later was at
work upon the beam, sheltered behind
tho broken framework. A dozen blows
and it crashed Into tho river, and the
sapper was on his way to the bank
again.
But picture our amazement, as mad
with Joy, we rushed to the edge to greet
him, to find that it was the little Bll
boquet, with a black and glossy board
suspended from the end of his chin.
"What does this mean? What Is
this masquerade?" cried the voice of
the general behind us, "Is It you again,
giddy-head?"
"Yes, my general, it is I, Bllboquet,"
answered the child; "you said you'd
glvo me a cross when I'd a beard upon
my chin. Here It Is, a famous one, for
I wasn't Bttngy and spent the whole of
the money you gave me for it!" and ho
drew himself up with an air of pride.
The general, thunderstruck at such
bravery and shrewdness, held out his
arms to Bllboquet as it he bad been a
man, and taking the cross from tho
lapel of his own coat fastened it with
his own hand in the button hole of his
drummer's Jacket.
It is upon the shoulders of the other
petit tambours, you can rest assurod,
that tho drum-major now establishes
tho time. I
"Frlgothempeucjr."
"Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky,
Thou dost not bite so nigh As appetite
forgot" will be an appropriate new
reading of the Shakespearan song, if
Prof. PIctet proves himself right in
regarding extreme cold as an Infallible
recipe for that best of all sauces
hunger. The French scientist is said
to be so confident of the merits of his
cold cure In all cases of loss of ap
petite and dyspepsia, that ho is posi
tively starting a freezing chamber for
tho spocial benefit of patients who
suffer from these ailments. Fortunate
ly he does not require them to enter
the curative refrigerator in light at
tire. On the contrary, he allows them
to wrap themselves up as warmly as
they like, the benefit being derived
entirely from breathing the frozen
air.
The idea seems to bo after all but a
practical development of a familiar
Idea, for there can be no one who has
not experienced the action of crisp,
frosty air as a sharpener of the appe
tite. But the effects of cold as a rem
edy for dyspepsia have not hitherto
been so well recognized, and Prof.
Tictet's "frigothorapeucy," despite Its
awful name, may prove a boon and a
blessing in these days of pancreatio
pessimism. Lady's Pictorial.
The End of tho World.
A pamphlet has Just been published
at Berlin by a theologian M. Baxter
which was written with considerable
erudition, and la being widely read.
Tho author predicts that the end of
the world will occur on April 23, 1908.
"From now until then," he says, "wo
will go through another fearful and
bitterly contested war, in 1897, which
all the great European nations will
participate In; In 1899 a new Napoleon
will make his rise, as tho King of 'the
Greek States and Syria;' in 1904 a ter
rible earthquake will shake the very
foundations of our planet. On March
12, 1903, on a Thursday, at 3 o'clock
P. M. (Jerusalem time), and at lh. 33m.
P. M. (Berlin time), will take place the
"ascension to heaven of the 144,000
elected, blessed ones, who' shall not
d!o." These prophecies, says Le Fig
aro, have called forth considerable
emotion "over the Rhino."

A warning has been sounded in the
way in which books from a circulating
library should be bandied. It Is con
voyed In the suggestion: Don't wot the
fingers to turn the leaves of such

culating libraries In Dresden have been
conducting a series of experiments to
determine if bcoks in genral use be

tion of infection. Soiled leaves were
rubbed first with dry lingers and then

Writing In the North American Re
view, Miss Elizabeth Bisland pleads
for giving women more technical train
ing In tho work to which they have
for the most part to devote their lives.
She says:
Tho old practical rulo-of-thumb ap
prenticeship of the household having
passed away something should replace
It. Why should not schools for girls
give courses of instruction In house
wiferynot the mere cooking of chops
or dusting chairs, but instruction as
to bow houses should be made and
furnished and their sanitation assur
ed; in the chemistry of cooking, of
foods and of assimilation; in the
laws of physiology and hygiene and
something about fundamental econom
ics, of which the average woman la
totally Ignorant, though she is tho
spender and distributor of tho money;
the men accumulate?
How Women Shonld Economize.
Save the emotions. Horrlblo tales,
criminal records and histories of crime
are too expensive. Sweet, dainty, de
licate woman needs finer food for the
soul. Calamities, murders, quarrels
and fatalities may happen. They are
In the line of the philosophy of evil,
and their discussion can do no good.
Reckless sympathy Is wasted energy,
and enforces needless distress upon
the sensibilities. Keep out of the
slums, slaughter houses and sewers.
Walk in the sunlight, look up and let
the vision of brightness on the moun
tain tops be thy guiding star. Lofty
thoughts that nourish the finer nature
are not to be found in the gutters of
life. So a little old tutor of Columbia
college believes.
A Nursing llnby.
A mother with a nursing baby must
be careful to keep herself well nour
ished and take plonty of sleep. If she
docs not, she will not have good milk
for the child. She must also be care
ful about bathing, so that the child
will not take the impurities into the
system in nursing. When a child uses
a bottle a long pipe should be avoid
ed, as it is not possible to keep it
clean, and the child may be poisoned
with Impurities. The bottle should
fio washed with hot water, cooled and
kept In a clean place. The rubber
nipples should be left soaking in wa
ter when not in use, and thrown away
as soon as they get out of condition.
Frogresul v Ilotiflework.
A family, consisting of a mother
and two daughters, has contrived a
plan by which thoy rob what Is known
as "doing one's own work" of much of
Its terror. Thoy have arranged a sys
tem of progressive meals. By this ar
rangement, one gets breakfast one day,
dinner the next, and tea or lunch the
next. She (loos not have to wash the
dishes of the meal she gets, but the
other two do. Thus, each day, each
one has one meal to prepare and two
to help clear away. The other house
work is divided up with correspond
ing fairness. They Bay that this is a
sery simple and comparatively easy;
way of working.
The Ily In the Bath.
Try some way of amusing your
child if he cries during his bath a
cork which will bob about with ever
movement of the water, or an egg
with the contents blown out. In fact,
any little thing which will amuse a
child will attract his attention and
prevent his crying during the process
of bathing. Once the child Is broken of
the habit of crying this trilling amuse
ment will be unnecessary.
All Want to lie Nurin,
Some remarkablo figures are given
as to the popularity of nursing as an
occupation among women. At one of
tho large London hospitals upward of
5,000 applications have, been made to
