He remained abro-vi abont 13 rears and made many warm friends in inany lands by his modest, unassuming frankness and his habitual courtesy. And he received great honors at the tenns of kings. I shall not soon forget the stories be told of the events witness in these Europe;.! capitals, they were ail so in tending, and be whs bo w hohy franK and natural in their narration. He was long at the court of the czar, a f oven ign who was deeply interested in the work of the inventor. When Mr. Francis went to Europe, he had letters of intro duction fn.ru many prominent Ameri cans, In St Petersburg !v ailed r.ien the American minister. H -, .is he told me laughingly, be forgot all clout his letters of introduction, one of which was fn-m the pnidcnc of the Ctiited States and another fn.ra t'ae f.-cn tary of Ftate, and inen ly told some of the offi cials connected with the American lega tion that he wished to meet the czar. "Whatl" the official ejaculated in amazement "Mevt the czar? Impossi ble, man! Do you realize what you are asking an introduction to the czar of liussia? Why, it would take you a month to get an introduction to tbe grand duke, to say uothiiig about getting into the presence of the czar. " Mr.- Francis went away, and, with true American independence, called at the palace of the grand duke. He sent in bis plain visiting or business card. He had not Ions to wait The attendant ushered him into a magnificent salon in the ducal palace. "From the farther tide of the splendid room, " said the old gentleman to me as henlated the story, bis eyes glowirg with the recollection of the triumph of the hour, "appeared the Grand Duke Coustantine, one of America's truest friends, and, both of bis bands outstn tched, he toJi both of mine in his as be reached me." The grand duke asked what he could do for Mr. Francis, the man of whom they had beard so much, whose life sav ing se rvice was even then of such value to Russia's s-acoast, and wbt.se inven tions pnimised so much for Kussia what could be do? Air. frauds saiu that he would like to meet the czar. Certainly. The grand duke would make an appointment with him to dine in a day or two with tbe czar tt the palace. And this was his introduction to Alexander II, a ruler who never forgot this gentle, modest American, and who thnmgh long years owned hini as a cherished friend. A day or two afterward Mr. Francis strolled into the oflico of tbe American legation. I doubt not there was a merry tv. inkle in bis eye, for no man loved a quiet j :ke tetter than he did. The official to whom Mr. Francis had expressed his desire to meet the czar epoke up jokingly : "Well, bow are you coming on iu your efforts to meet the czar?" "I have seen him. " "What," with doubt in face and. voice, "you have seen the czar.' How did von see him, pray tell?" "I dined with him yetterday," was the fcimpic answer.

Ia Displaced More Nerve Than Did Hie Volunteer AaalntaaU A very pleasant anecdote is told of Professor Anderson by Mr. Arthur a Beckett in bis "Gm n Kooui Kevolli tious." He says the professor in his great gun trick used to give one of the audience a rifle, some powder and a marked bullet. The marksman was then requested to load and pn-pare to fu-e. Thereupon the professor walked to the cud of tbe stage and invited the ri fleman to shoot him. Then, after the marksman had Cn-d, be used to produce the marki-d bullet insisting that be had caught it on a plate. On one occa sion a friend of mine, who was au ad mirable amateur conjurer, offered him self as an assistant. He took the gun and the ammunition and duly leaded. It was tbe custom of the professor to give the bullet a final tap with his wand to Bee that it was rammed down pmjKirly, and this final tap, I have been told, extracted the bullet This my friend knew, and when the professor offemi his assistance he politely de clined. Anderson did not insist, but coolly walked to the end of the stage and called out, "Now, sir, take a good aim at me and tire." My friend hesitated, as he was well wan that the gun he was holding was really loaded. "Fire, sir, lire!" cried the pmfeiwor. My friend lowered the weapon, and, saying he could not let it off, returned it to Anderson, who immediately, un der pretense of seeing whether it had been properly loaded, extracted the bul let Then he gave the gnu to some one else. But liefcre the rifle was fired h? addn-ssed the audience. "Ladies and gentlemen," said he, "the p rson who has just ntuiui d his seat knt w my tri k and foiled it If he had fired, this prob ably would have been my last appear ance before you. But he hodii't suffi cient nerve to shoot me." When it dawned upon tbe house that Anderson had risked his life lalii: rtlian confess himself beaten, the applause was deafening. My friend told me that be felt rather small and regretted his penchant for practical joking. BEAUTIFUL SEVILLE. There la A!war Scmrthinc A mutiny, no torial or Dramatic to hx.

An Old 8oldler Takee laane With tbe Aether of -Tl.e Red Badge of Cour age" Camp Followera and Hanrrra Oa Furnished the rrofaaltr of the War. When the recruits of the First Maine cavalry began to take on "soldier airs" in their camp cn the Penobscot in 181, some of them assuming that troopers should be men "full of stranpo oaths," Colonel Douty promulgated au aati profanity order. At first the edict was received with considerable merri ment, and expletives, innuceut iu them selves though uu ant to do duty as oaths, were fnvly used. Bat in a few days iuspired by the precepts and examples of certain self respecting eomraii.fi, tha men took a nobler view cf it and the "needless vice," as the historian cf the regiment characterizes it, was effectually pn'seribi'd. The First Maine served lour yenrs and earned a reputation for valor in the field second to no other mounted com mand. It brought home a flag uj:n which were inscribed by official author ity the names of 86 battles. But the veterans were cot more pi-oud of their martial honors than of their pood mor als, fi they had won the honors and the victory to crown them, swearire; "not at all ;" that too, with a r xnectal temperance pledge held iu al most universal respect The general over a divis"n cf I9.(X0 men who nipped the pn:faAig evil i.i the buy by saying, "I will i.o the ha'cu: ing for this entire command." was more tactful in bis methods t h.v.i the Maine cavalry colonel, a he needed to be, dealing with strange troops, but be was not a jester, neither a victi.a of oven'onSdetice in himself. If miliary necessity warranted violation of the b.'.v he would be the judge. Cnd'T a leader go clevtraud farsighted the crisis would never arise. Only once during a long service at the front wrviee rendered iu two different regiments, diffen-nt bri gades, divisions aud army corps did 1 hear an officer above the rank of e: p tain give way to profanity. That once was the case of a brigade ooiniuaiUkr invoking the curse of Deity upon a ras cally quartermaster. The quarternxsur resigned on the spot and wert home, thus removing what might have bvn r, stumbling block from the path of many besides the general. I should say that the rascally quar termaster and his close conconiitaiit.-i, the stubborn army mule an 1 lbs ob streperous teamster, furnished the chief provocatives to swearing for sch'ior3 of the line and that in the pr iiiet t apart to their use region remote, from battle and virtually outside of the do main of army discipline oath? were quite as common as they arc in tbo pages of the "Ked Badge of Courage. " Iu fact the manners as well as the lan guago of the soldiers in that narrative; suggest that the studies for it were made from camp followers and the hang ers on of the supply departments, manned, as these were, by iioncombat auts.

By referring to the roster cf the com pany in which I served in 1SC2-3 I now recall the individuality cf b3 ccmrad' s, and of that number recognize 35 who did not use profane language ou any oc casion. Of the remaining 23 only 11 can be indicted as possibly given to pro fanity at times, and that solely on the ground of their general nputatii n for lightness cf morals.

A few hinfc. s to what not to give to young children may be helpful to mothers, for children are creatures of habit from earliest infancy, and if they have formed habits of caring for cake and sweets and n'fusiiig other food who fault is it? How many mothers give a child a slice of bread not only thickly buttered but covered with a lay er of sugar or jam besides? Was not the bread good enough with either alone? Such mother when remonstrated with ajjswer, "Why, my child would not cat bread and jam unless it were butten d also. " That habit was formed in tho child by the mother. Even young chil dren are very shrewd ia dealing with their c iders and will soon discover their weak point Perhaps when there are callers the mother, to avoid a scene, gives a piece of cake, and this is adroit ly made use of to secure a like favor at a subsequent time. Young mothers, do not allow yonr own ease and comfort at tho moment to cause your child to form a pernicious habit, be it tho candy habit or the cake habit Consistent firmness will spare you a world of trouble and annoyance. Of course a piece of light spongecake will not hurt a well child, but let it be given as a rare treat Never give any kind of pastry. You and your child will be happier for it. Neither are rich pud dings and pudding sauces allowable. Tea and coS'-e should not be given tinder the ace of 21.

The following sxtmols may well be cepied in large letters and hunr; in the kitchen or pantry whorever children's food is prepared. "The amount of nutrition required in every instance must b carefully con sidered. One of the most important rea sons for this is that energy must not bo wasted in getting ridcf superfluous ma terial, as organic disease may result A little food thoroughly digested is far better than much that is half dig stid. Mauy of the diseases to which children are liable would disappear undr strict supervision cf hygiene and diet, espe cially tho various intestinal disorders. including many resultant throat, ca tarrhal und nervous troubles. Nature resects carelessness and is relentless iu her punishmtnts." "A legal enactment iu France pro hibits tho giving of any form of solid food to infants under 1 year of npo without authority of a proscription from a qualified medical man. The emph iy meut of the rubber tube for nursing bot tles is also forbidden, as it is almost im possible to keep it clean.

Dark Eyca Sadd to WSm Mora General Among Woman Ttama Among; Ma Into the realm of sentiment, with heavy footfall, like a bull in a china shop or an elephant among porcelain, the sedate and matter of fact statistician obtrudes himself, intent oa dealing, through percentages, with matters which one might ttink would tJ ex empt from such pro?ic cons: leraticn. The latest subjootsof statistical imjuiry are light and dark eyes, and as th re sult of sundry responses to questions propounded iu various countries and duly authenticated it has bet u discov ered and tot merely discovered, but also proved that, taking the average of Europe and America, 44.6 is the per centage of men having light ey s, in cluding bine and gray. The proportion of girls and women having blue or gray eyes is by the same computation 34.2 per cent In other words, blue eyes are decidedly rarer anion & women than j among men, and it is for this reason perhaps that blue eyes, especially ia combination with blond hair, are es teemed so highly as a fcatrre of femi nine beauty. Mea have light eyes oltenrr than women, but in the intermcdiats grade of color between light a:id dark tbo percentage of the two sexes is very nearly though not quite the same. In this intermediate category are brown and hazel eyes neither puro light nor genuine black. The percentage of these among men is 43. 1 and amog wonii a 45.1. Tbe percentage of dark or, moie properly, black, eyes is larger among woniea, being 20. 1 per cent of the w hole number, while among men it is 12.3. Perhaps it is the relative rarity of daik eyes among men which establishes the rule tha.t dark eyed laen are esteemed by women to be taore fortunate ia the color of their yes than Woe eyed men. The figures npon which these percent ages are based are the result of inquir ies not proven ted hi one or more of tbe countries of Europe or one or more states of the United States, for, as is well known, in southern Euroi"uu coun tries dark eyes both among men ai:d women predominate, while light eyes are to be found in just as high a proior tion in northern countries.
