HOW ENGLISH ARMY OFFICERS SET TLE THEiR DIFFERENCES. The Plebeian aad tbe Peer Bow Oast Reiriment Was Opened to Other Thaa Off. boots of the I'eeraare Bow "Molly Crashed tha Cheeky Tonnrstcr. In view of the disgraceful duel be tween the Duke of Oxl-ains and the Couiit of Turin we publish the follow ing article which shows the manner in which British officers Bettle disputes: Officers have their disagreements, of course, like other men, and they have to be settled. Dueling is forbidden by law as well as by modern ideas and common sense. Complaints respecting infractions of mess etiquette or of ungentle-manly or unsoldierly conduct may be submitted to the mess committee, the punitive powers of which are extremely farreachmg. The life of an officer "sent to Coventry" by bis fellows is unendura ble, and his only chance is to exchange. But all this is moral suasion only, and in the end disputes are frequently settled by a resort to first principles the rule of fist while redress is some times obtained in ways as drastic as tbey are novel. A gentleman joined a crack cavalry regiment He had no pedigree or fami ly to recommend him. In fact, his fa ther was a retired brewer, and by the scions cf nobility among bis comrades he was rather coldly received. "Are you tho snn cf Dash, the brew er?" inquired one of these. "I am." "Then why didn't your father bring you up to his trade?" "Oh. well, you're the son of Lord Blank, aren't you?" "Yes." "Then why didn't ho bring you up a gentleman?" Tbe epshot cf this was a rough and tumble, wherein was demonstrated that in the r.rtny a plebeian is the equal of a peer if he can box as well Another gentleman from the ranks of trade came home one day to find all the crockery and breakable articles in his rooms sicashed, the same being intend ed ty tha wreckers as a delicate hint that his presence, among them was ob jectionable. He van late for dinner that evening and apohgizod to the president of the mess for it, explaining what had hap pened tliat he had been to the rooms of the three he 6uspected and returned tho comjiliment; if he had wronged any, he voald apologize and restore the articles; if he had hit ou the right ones, they coull have satisfaction in the rid ing school after dinner. Accordingly, after dinner, two of them received satisfaction in full, a la Corbett, iu drill time, but the third proved a tougher nut to crack, and the big hearted plebeian (who, by the bye, is now a general), weakened by his ex ertions, was getting worsted, sp anoth er of the same social status who was an expert boxer took up the running. He soon finishtd ofi the third man and obligingly offend to take on any one who sympathized with the trio. By this means appropriate to their pro fession these two officers opened the door in that regiment to others than offshoots of the peerage, ly whom it had previously been regarded as a pre serve. Among officers exchanging from one regiment to another is common. One little man, a lieutenant, incurred the enmity of the men of his troop by con tinually finding fault and rubbing it in by contrasting them unfavorably with his. late corps till they hated the very name of tha "Pinks," as we'll call them. Not only the rank and file, but the noncommissioned officers, came in for his animadversion till it got unbearable, and at last the troop sergeant major told the captain quietly that there would be a mutiny in the troop before long if it continued. It so happened that he had also car ried his insulting comparisons into the mess, and as he wouldn't take advice and "drop it" his brother officers took the matter into their own hands, with the result that one cold night in Febru ary there was a hubbub within the offi cers' quarters, a w indow was presently opened, and little "Joey," clad only in his nightshirt, was bandtd out, seized, placed and held down in a handliarrow, wheeled off to the manure heap and there shot out. to make his way back to bed as best ho could. He soon after left tho regiment The antipodes of this gentleman was an officer in the 6ame regiment, an Irishman, 6 feet 2 and big in propor tion, but his "go" was not proportion ate to his size. He was too big and apa thetic for a cavalry captain. In fact, his nickname, "Molly," well describes him. One "cheeky" youngster appeared to think he could take any liberties with such an easy going mountain of flesh, and in the billiard room one night he carried his impudence beyond all reason "Molly" said nothing. He simply dropped his cue, picked the offender up and sat him violently down on a side ta ble, ignorant or heedless of the fact that upon it were standing glasses and iecauters. It was some time be-fore the surgeons picked the last piece of glass out of the impertinent one and weeks before he could appear in the saddle again. It is scarcely necessary to say that he gave "Molly" Magaire s wide berth after that. Pearson's Weekly. DINING AND FEEDING. Aanerieaa Table Manners 'Sat So Opes tu Criticism as Formerly. It has been conceded that the degree of civilization a people has reached may be accurately measured . by its dietary. Now, some one has said that "the American feeds, the Englishman de vours, the Frenchman dines. " In view cf this statement one wonders what the English Lave been doing through the centuries to have advanced so little. We do not pretend to answer for them, but would say for ourselves, we have been hewing our way through forests, pio neering in every direction, in every sense ample apology for feeding in stead of dining. But, of course, it was a Frcnchnian who made the declaration, and, of course, he made it long ago, when, mor tifying though it be, honesty compels as to acknowledge that we may have been guilty. Times, however, and con ditions have changed, and not even the most bigoted Frenchman will refuse to ndinit that when the American has reached the dining point he will have more to dine upon than any other man in the world. The culture of man in America will demand all tho art in his cuisine that France ly study has evolv ed, with the added merit eif honesty in his food, the disguises incident to pov erty of material not being a necessity. There is no department of supply in which we have not the advantage, and we are learning to use our materials as rapidly as we have been obliged V) learn all other things.

A correspondent of tho Washington Post gives the following appalling ty phoid stati.-tics: Every year in the United Stafe-s 400,000 people are sick with typhoid fever. Forty thousand cf them die. They are sick 28 days on an average out of every S65 days. Thus we have 11,200,000 days of sickness from this disease. ' - Every case cf this sickness means one month, generally two mouths, of idle ness. If the wages of the patient are only 50 cents a day, there is a loss of (15 a month. Generally this sickness means a loss cf wages in two months' time of f 60 or ?S0. The average loss cf wages for six weeks would lie (50. Add to this the doctor's bill, which is any where from $ 00 to (100 we will say (CO. If the patient lives iu the city aud has a trained nurse for enily tlireo weeks, there is another (13. Ten dollars for the prepared food, ice, milk, etc., brings this moderate bill up to (165. Multiply this by the number of people sick, and we ran see every year in the United States (68,000,000 lost to pa tients by the inroads of this one disease.

A Contest Between Horn Flayers af Rival Shows That Was Witnessed by tha Citl sens For Mile Around aad I mpired by the Mayor of tha Town. "I suppose," said the old circus man, "that the greatest bass horn player that ever lived was Enos Stulkintcn. He played the bass horn in our band. There have been men with a better knowledge of music, perhaps, and some with a more finished style, but none that could touch him in producing thunder. His playing came to be one of the features of the show. He was a star attraction where he was known, but to most people he came as a surprise, something more than they had expected, and they en joyed him all the more on that account. For instance, at every performance, before the actual beginning of the show, we used to give a band concert, and Mr. Stulkintou would begin to gi t in his fine work there. As the people listened to his first thunderous 'oomphahs! they were amazed. But when thry heard tha canvas of the great tent flap in unison with the blasts of his horn they all laughed, and thereafter throughout the performance they all paid cltse atten tion when Enos raised the instrument " Wo tried, of course, always to make a route for tbe show that wouhln't con flict with anybody else, for there were plenty of towns that wouldn't stand but one show at a tima Two would loso money in them, however good they might ha But some times we ran against some stubborn man that wouldn't give way, and then there was nothing to do but to show and beat him if we could. "Once, when we struck a town with another show, wo learned somehow that they had a great bass horn player in their band, and of course we challenged :em for a coutt. Aud they took up the challenge very promptly. There wasn't much time to prepare for it but we billed the town in an hour and got per mission to put up a stand on the public square, because it was to be a free ex hibition, and that attracted attention. "The contest was at noon, aud of course the two bands played as accom panists of tbe horn players. And that mado a big band concert, aud the crowd was something enormous. The terms were that each man was to play ome, aad then a vote of tho peoplo was to be taken. The man defeated in that round had a right to call for another. If tho man defe-ated in tho first round won the second, tho man who won tho first round had a right to call for a third round. But the winuer of two rouutls by the vote of the peoplo was to bo de clared the winner of the contest "Well, the men in our show bet every dollar they could rake and scrape on Enos, aud somo of the more gentle hearted cf them thought they were just robbing the men in the other show Our old man not only bet all his money, but be bet tho idol of his heart, the famous old giraffe of our show, against the other show's moth eaten buffalo, and ho was so dead suro that Le threw in a cin namon bear to boot. "Our sido had the first inning, and our baud showed 't-m how to play, and then Enos stood up for his solo. And how bo did make tho thunder! It was 'ontu; hah, coiuphah, ooui phalli' as it had never been heard before, and he fairly carried the people off their feet "Then the other baud played a tune, and their man got up And there's no use talking, he raised more thunder than Enos did and set the peoplo shouting. "Then the mayor gt4 up to take the vote, as he'd agree', to do, and he was interested now as much as anybody. And tho people voted for the other man, as we expected they would. But we hadn't any doubt about the final rt"ult, for we thought that Enos would un shacklo now and break away aud make tho blow of his life. And he did. We, who had been hearing him for years, had never heard him apprtach what he did now. It was wonderful. Ho set the people wild, aud we thought we had 'cm sure. "But the other man's very first ocm phah 1' made us tremble, and as bo weut ou we knew we were lost, money, gi riffo, everything. We'd never heard anything like this before. It wasn't just simpl'i peals of thunder it was a thun der factory in full blast and working with adouble force of men. Therecould be outy one verdict "That afternoon the whole town went to the other show and left our big tent empty The other peoplo came over for the annuals they'd won before show tiuio. They wanted to take 'em over and walk em around iu their ring. The old man had 'em brought out When the giraffe realized what had happened, he wound his neck around tho center pole and wouldn't budga But tho old man finally persuaded him, aud over ho went to be mado a show of in tho other circus. "Enos Stulkintou never blew a bass born again He d had the opportunity of his life, had missed it and bo hadn't tbe heart After that he always blew a baritone. "For my own pnrt, I always thought Ibere was a trick in it Don't you know, there are things that look fair and square ou the face of tbem that you foel certain, all tbe same, aro off, in some way Well, 1 knew there was something wrcug about that man's bass horn play ing, and years afterward I heard what it was He had a bellows attached to tbe horn, with a hole in the side of the horn for the nozzle of the bellows, and the bellows inside his clothes out of sight and a rod running down to a treadle under his foot Ho re-enforced his own blowing with blasts from this bellows, and, of course, the nian didn't live that could stand up against him. "We told Enos about this, but it was too lata He'd lost his ambition aud was satisfied now to play second fiddle, though be might still have been a cham pion. " New Ytirk Sun.

Speaking cf the dedication of the na tional cemetery at Gettysburg and Mr. Lincoln's famous address delivered on that occasion. Nov. 19, 163, Governor Curtin began by saying tliat there had been mrch discussion as to how and when that address was written, and ho continued, says The Independent : "I can tell you all about that Of rcurse I was there, and the president and his cabinet had arrived and were at tho boteL Soon after his arrival, as we were sitting around in the parlor, Mr. Lincoln looked thoughtful ff a moment or two and then said: 'I be lieve, gentlemen, the committee are ex pecting me to say something hero to day. If you will excuse me. I will go into this room hero and prepare it' AftT a time ho tvtnrned, holding in his hand a large, yellow government envelope, on which he bad written his address. "Here, gentlemen, he said, 'I want to rend this to you to see if it will do. ' And, sitting down, he read it to us and then saitl: 'Now for your criticisms. .Will it do? What da you say? "Several ppoke in favor of it and one or two coainieudtd it in strong terms. 'Well,' sajs tho president, 'haven't you any criticisms? What do yon say, Seward?' "Mr. Seward mad- one or two sug gestions bearing on some blight vrrlal changes, which I believe Mr. Lincoln incorporated. " 'Now, if yon will allow me, gentle men,' contained the president, 'I will copy this off. ' And ho again withdrew mado a copy eif the address. "Ah," continued the governor, "if I bad hod wit enough about me to havo begged of him that yellow envelope what a trr.phy it would have been I How much it would havo be-en worth to somo of the ladieV fairs which a little later began to be held to raise money for the hospitals and the soldiers. But I did not think of it then. HUMOR AND ITS USES. It Is the Sunlilue of the World, but May Bo Overworked. "Humor is the very sunshine of the world," writes Carrie E. Garrett in Tho Woman's Home Companion "Hardly any other single gift will go so fur to refresh and inspire one in everyday life aud keep the heart still young. It ste-als merrily acrors tha workaday world, animating the drear lest monotony ami rinding place in the most hopeless destiny. Such a gay trav cling companion is humor for the pil grimage of lifa "The woman with a sense of humor has a safeguard against ennui, against folly and against de j;air. She can ne ver be dull so long as the comedy of life is being played before her eyes. With a keen sense cf the ridiculous she is not likely to 'make a f oed cf herself.' and she will never bo hopelessly unhappy, for she will find in tho most adve-Ti-e fate something still to laugh at, -and after all laughter is your true alchemist However it may be w ith tho unmusical person, surely the surly individual who cannot laugh spontaneous.! you occasions is 'fit for treasons, strategems and spoils "But this blessed gift cf humor should be used to lift the shadows cf life, not to deepen the-in. A joke which causes another a icing cf humiliation or makes some sensitive heartache is not only a cruel sort of amusement but it is also a vey expensive indulgence. For just a moment's gratification at having made a 'hit' the 'funny woman' may forever lose a frijnd and may even arouso a very genuine spirit of enmity. We It arn to forgive and mayhap ft.rget many injuries iu life's troubled journey, but perhaps among tho wounds that rankle lonfet in tho hjiuan heart aro those which aro made 'only in fun.
