Lieotcnaut Oecar Prince is lapidly
reaching tba age rhen his friends will
atop asking him tbe question, "Why
cluu't yon get married?" and substitute
far it. "How did it happen, old runn,
that yon never married?" Lieutenant
Prince is as acceptable as tbe average
man, and be baa no antimatrimoni&l
Tiewg. He is, however, a victim of wed
dings, and therein lice the explanation
of bis failure to marry. One of tbe fin
est collections of acarfpins in this city
may be found in bis bachelor apart
ments, but no wife.
"Aly collection of scarf ping was be
puu about ten years ago, " he said, "and
each one represents a scar more or less
eerioos. Tbey have simply made a pin
cushion of my heart. My case, I am
rare, is an unusual oue, and I am will
ing to discuss it, that it may serve as a
warning to young men. Let me start
with the assertion that I believe in tbe
uoble institution of marriage, and it
was probably my advocacy of it while
I was at West Point that suggested to
a classmate Brown to write me to
act as his best man wben he got mar
. ried. Let me sea Tbe tlate cm that
pearl pin is I'ibl, isn't it?. Yes, that
was Brown's little token. Erown had a
fine wedding, and as I had been sta
tioned west at a God forsaken post since
leaving the Point it was my first op
portunity to get at short range with
eastern girls. There are no girls like
them, my boy, and don't make any mis
take about that.
"Brown was married in Newport,
and we did have a good time. Li t me
look at that pin again. Yes, Ethel was
her name. s Yon see, I have it tagged on
the pin. Ethel was a mighty fine girl
tall, good swing and a high stepper.
We bit it off together in fine fchape.
Who was Ethel? Why, in this case, she
was the maid of honor. We had a de
lightful week at Newport, and when I
went bacU to my post I had Ethel's per
mission to write to ber. I beard the
other day that ber oldest hopeful was
the star boy in a kindergarten."
Lieutenant Prince puffed his pipe
hard for two minutes.
"Ethel was, all things considered,
. about as nice as any of them. We might
Lave been very happy together, but fcr
Jones' wedding. I think it was Jouea.
Just baud me that little clover leaf pin,
will you? Yes, it was Jones. Here is
the date, 18SS, and tagged to the pin is
Maud's name. You don't understand.
No, of course not. Yon haven't acted
as best roan or nsber in 40 weddings. 1
thought a lot about Ethel while on the
railroad train that took me to Boston,
where Jones married, and there I met
Aland. There is something very demoral
izing about the associations, of a wed
ding party if a chap is at all suscepti
ble. The girls all rejoice with tbe bride,
and they are ell in their best frocks.
Somehow yon begin to speculate about
yourself, yon know, and wonder how
yon would appear as tbe bridegroom
with cue of tbe bridesmaids as bride.
Maud was different from Ethel, more
vivacious, and then she was short and
Ethel was tall. On the night of tbe
vredding I asked Mand if I might write
to her. Dear Maud! I wonder what has
become of her. I 6eut back all of ber
letters and her photograph just a short
time after Adams got married. That is
the pin in tbe cushion the one with
tbe small diamond in the ceuter. Adams
was married three months after Jones,
and I was an usher. Those three mouths
were happy ones, and I shall always re
member Maud. I had been sent east just
lfcre Adams was married, and he
wanted me to bo usher because, as he
put it, I had been in tbe game before.
Mary was ber nameat Adams' weddiug.
That doesn't describe ber at alL No
uamo could. She was just as attractive
as Ethel and Maud, but different We
discussed very serionrt matters, did
Mary and I, and I knew that she was a
girl who would make a sensible, think
ing man bappy for life.
"It was a discuFsioa of telepathy that
mailo me forget Maud, that is a discus
sion and a subsequent attempt to experi
ment Mary didn't ask for her letters
Lack after Rogers' wedding. I told Sal
ly she was one of tbe bridesmaids, and
a very jolly southern girl all about
Mary, and she said she didn't mind. I
came ery near proposing to Sally, but
by this time I had become a professional
as an usher and best man, and since Sal
ly there have bean by actual count 33
other girls, any one of whom might
havo made me happy. I felt after meet
ing each one of them 'bat if 1 could
only keep away from vre:.dings my hap
piness might be ussared. 1 could marry
tbe last girl that is. of course, if she
would havo rue, and they were all very
sympathetic and feel that I was lucky.
I couldn't dodgo the weddiug?, though.
"All my fritnd are married now,
and i have assisted in each case. It got
so that while I was ct work I would
aoconscioris'y begin to whistle at wed
ding march. Walking ia time to it made
me slow on parade. 1 couldn't keep cp
vitb. my company. I have, I am glad to
say. done my duty by my friends, but it
has ruined me seutimentally. Wben I
look at that collection of scarfpina, each
one labeled with the name of a girl who
was the ouly one in the world t me, I
Laveu't the nerve to propose. I am a
victim of circumstances. Now all of my
friends are maiTied ami I am not likely

A CLEVER FIRE HORSE.
The Clear Ueaded Aalmal That Chief
Webber of Boston I'aed to IMn.
The rule in the Boston department is
to reach the fire as soon as it can be
done with safety. When an alarm comes
in, the firemen have that rule in mind.
Tbey are not thinking about posing for
the public, but what they are likely to
hud at the end of their ride, and wben
accidents occur in nine cases out of ten
they axe more likely to be due to tbe
carelessness or fngbt of the publio than
to tbo recklessness if tbe firemen them
selves. There are approximately 2,000
alarms a year in tbis-city, to each of
which from one to eight pieces respond.
Compare tbe activity and momentum
thus let loove, tut skillfully controlled.
with tbe total resulting casualtiss or a
year, and the showing will justify the
department as a whole every time.
The bcrses themselves share not only
the spirit but tbe knowledge of the, sit
uation, and to their training and Intel
ligeuce is due to no small degree the
comparative exemption from serious
accidents which tbe department enjoys.
A few years ago Chief Webber drove as
bis Ere horse an animal which well ex
emplified these characteristics. He had
a bead like a wedge, and he could run
for a deer. His fire gait was a run. He
was famous for economizing his oppor
tunities. Even in a thickly crowded
street, if he saw a hundred feet clear in
front of him, be made it on tbe run. If
an obstruction suddenly appeared, be
would brace himself ani skate over tbe
pavement until bis momentum was
overcome. Then with the next opening
the feat was repeated, while be writhed
in and out like a snake among inter
cepting teams and usually was among
the first arrivals at the scene of the fire.
On one occasion he took himself and
tbo buggy to a fire some distance from
quarters without a driver and arrived
safely and at tbe right box. Tbe nn
initiated who saw his movements might
have called them reckless, but during
bii firo cr six "years of service he at
tended more fires than any other horse
in tbe department, and no serious acci
dent to bimjelf or others resulted.

A PRISONER'S RUSH.
MOW ROC ESCAPED FROM THE SPAN
ISH PRISON BY A TRICK.
a Clever 11 rata TTho Won Freedom For
Himself nd His Companions by For-flDf
a Letter and flaying M His Captor's
Fenra.
Mr. Frank E. Stockton, tell.ng St
Nicholas readers about "The Buccaneers
of Our Coast," describes the clever es
cai of Hoc, the Brazilian, a famous
pirate, from captivity among the Span
ib at Cam peachy, iir. btockton says:
When be was coming into the bay,
Roc bad noticed a large. French vessel
that was lying at some distance from
the town, and he wroto his letter as if
it had come from the captain of this
ship. In the character of this French
captain he addressed his letter to the
governor of the town, and in it bo stated
that be bad understood that certain
companions of tbo coast, for whom he
had greut sympathy for tbe French
and the buccaneers were always good
friends had been captured by"tbe gov
ernor, who, he heard, had threatened to
execute them.
The French captain, by the hand of
Eoc, went on to say that tf harm should
come to these brave men, who had been
taken and imprisoned when tbey were
doing no harm to anybody, he would
swear, in bis most solemn manner, that
never for the rest of bis life would he
give quarter to any Spaniard who might
fall into bis hands, and he moreover
threatened that any kind of vengeance
which should . become possible for tbe
buccaneers and French united to inflict
npon the Spanish ships, or upon the
town of Cam peachy, should be taken as
soon as possible after be should bear of
any injury that might be inflicted npon
the unfortunate men who were then
lying imprisoned in the fortress.
When the slave came back to Eoc,
the letter was given to him with very
particular directions as to what he was
to do with it He was to disguise Lim-
self as much as possible, so that he
should not be recognized by the people
of tbe place, and then in the night be
was to make his way out of the town,
and early in the morning was to return
as if be had been walking along tbe
shore, of tbe harbor, wben be was to
state that he had boen put on shore from
the French vessel in the offing with a
letter which he was ordered to present
to the governor.
The slave performed his part of the
business very wclL Tne next day, wet
and bedraggled from making bis way
through the weeds and mod of the
coast, he presented himself at tbe for
tress with his letter, and when he was
allowed to take it to the governor no
one suspected that he was a person em
ployed about the place. Having f lfillud
bis mission, he departed, and when seen
again be was tbe same servant whose
business it was to carry food to 'the pris
oners. . -
The governor read tbe letter with a
disquieted mind. He knew that the
French ship which was lying outside
tbo harbor wag a powerful vessel, and
be did cot like French ships anyway,
Tbe town bad once been taken and very
badly treated by a little fleet of French
ana t-ugntn buccaneers, and lie was
very anxious that nothing of the kind
should happen again.
There was no effective Spanish force
in the harbor at that time, and he did
not know bow many baccaueerinf; ves
k la might bu able to gather together in
tbe bay if it should become known that
the great pirate Roo had been put to
death in Campeachy.
It was nnnsual for a prisoner to have
powerful friends so near by, and th9
governor took Roc's case into most car'
nest consideration. A few hours' reflec
lion was sufficient to convince him that
it would be very unsafe to take risks
with such a dangerous "prize as the pi
rate Roc, and be determined to get rid
of him as soon as possible. He felt bim
ie!f in the position of a man who has
stcku a taly bear and who hears
through the woods the roar of an ap
proaching parent To throw away the
cub nud walk off as though he had no
idea there were any bears iu that forest
worn a te tbo inclination ox a man so
situated, end to get rid of a great pirate
without provoking the vengeance of his
friends was tbe natural inclination of
the governor.
New, Roc and his men were treated
-ell aud, having been brought before
:ba governor, were told that in conse
quence of their haviug committed no
overt act of dito-.der they would be set
it liberty and shipped to Spain upon
the single condition that they would
tbaudou piracy and agree to become
juiet citizens.

There was a ship about to depart for

Hoc and bis men free passage to tbe
other side of the ocean. There is no
doubt that our buccaneers would bave
much preferred, to have been put cn

"And tbo rose?" asked Bayard.
"Ah. that was later!" said Leonard,
with a burst of laughter. "Rosette gave
me that when she first bruabed my lips
with her own. Tbe petals were once
roty as her warm being, and tbe flower's

"And tho orchid? queried Bayard.
"Hippolyta presented me with that"

charm of her own perverse personality,

a study of scientist for a century.
"When a beam of runligbt enters
darkened room, it can be eeeu along its
wbol'i course, " says one writer. "Tb
light is reflected to every side an 1 made
to reach tbe eye by the dust in the air
of tbe room. We do not see the sun
beam, tut tbe dust which is illumined
by it As unimportant as this enrious
stuff seems, it plays a conspicuous part
in nature. It is what males the sky ap
pear blue, and when we look at the ky
we see the dust illuminated by the sou.
Light goes through all the giises the
dust catches it, reflects it in every di
rectiou. and so causes the whole acmos
phere to appear clear, in tbe samo way
that it makes the sunbeam visible in
the dark room.
"Without this strango, wonderful
dost there would be no blue sky. It
would be as dark or darker than on moon
less nights. Tbe glowing disk of tbe sun
wonld stand immediately against the
buck background, thus producing blind
lug light where the sun's rays fall and
deep black shadows where they do not.
It is to dust that we owe the moderately
tempered daylight adapt d to our eyes,
and it is dust that contributes to the
beauty of the scenery. The finest dusi

coarser kind produces an almost black
appearance.

tbe vapor is precipitated npon it, and
so loads the clouds with water that they

Without dust the vapor would penetrate
houses, making everything mold with
damp. We should feel upon going out
that our clothes were becoming saturat
ed and umbrellas would be a useless
protection. It is hard, indeed, to con
reive how different everything would

THUESTOH'S PEE0SATI0N.
A Ptthetie Scens ia ths United .States
Senste.
Senator Thurston's peroration in his
speech on Cuba in the Senate last Thurs
day was most pathetic.
Me said there could be no Intervention
to nave Cuba w ithout force, and force
means war, and war means blood. He
believed iu the doctrine of peace taucbt
by the lowly Nazarine, but men must
have liberty before abiding rwce can
come.
"Force saved tbe Union, kept the Stars
in the Flag, made 'niggers' men. The
time for God's force has come again. Let
the impassioned lips of American patriots
once more take up the song:
" 'In the beauty of the lilies,
Christ was born across the sea.
With a glory in his botoin
" That traiiNligiirec you and me;
A be died to make men holy,
ljet ua die U make men free,
For Uivl is marching on.'"
"Mr. President, In ttje cable that moor
ed me to lift? and hope the stronger
strands are broken. I bave but little left
to olfer st the altar of Free lours sacrifice,
but all I have I am glad to give. 1 am
randy to serve my country as best I can
iu i be Senate or iu the field.
"lv dearet hope, my most earnest
prayer to God is this, that wheu death
comes to end all, I may meet it e-altnly
and fearlessly as did my beloved, in the
cause of humanity under the American
flag."
As Mr. Thurston neared the end of his
epeech he became noticeably excitod, and
his utterance became more iinpttssioned,
The peroration was brilliantly deliv
ered. Alti'.t at tbe instant of the e-ou-
clusion oC the speech his voice broke w ilh
emotion, and he finished ith difl'.eulty.
As Mr. Tburstou sank into bis seat he
buried his face in his hands, white a tre
rueudous aud over helming wave of ap
plause swept through the j-alleries.
Tbe Vice President made a ditiident
elTbrt to restrain tbe demonstration, but
it was not possible to control tbe people.
As Mr. Thurston's colleague, Mr. Allen,
of Nebraska, led him quietly from tbe
chamber, many of his associates, silently,
but with every evidence of feeling, grast -
ed his hand.
Pennntylvania ii Prepared.
Front the HaxrUburg Telegraph.
The military authorities of tbe State
are constantly pestered by letters and
tele-grams from editors of theyellow jour
nals of the country asking them if I'e tin
sylvania is preparing for war in the event
of trouble between this country am
Spain. In ai-eordance with tbe invaria
ble rule that goes with all things mili ary
none of these telegrams or letters are
answered. Military men, old members
of the National Guard, are apt to feel
offended w hen tbey bear the question
asked whether Pennsylvania is prepar
ing for trouble. They say it is an insult
to tbe Guard born of that ignorance of
those ho do not know tbe facts concern
ing our military. They also My, with
considerable pride, that Pennsylvania
does not need to prepare Pennsylvania
U already prepared. On a call for troops
for service in the field Pennsylvania can
in twenty-four hours place over eight
thousand troops in the field. And they
will not be Sunday soldiers with gaudy
uniforms, either. They will b3 full
clothed in the same uniform as is worn
by the Cuited States regular!', ax l iu
many respects they will equal the regub r
soldiers. It was Colonel Summer, of the
regular army, who last year said the
Pennsylvania National Guard ia the
finest body of citizen soldiery he ever
saw, and that was a pretty bigh compli
tiient from such a source. What is more,
Pennsylvania's National Guard is pre
pared to co iuto cHtnp at once with all of
tbe tents and camp equipage, and there
is not another State in tbe I'nionsopie
pared. And again, the Pennsylvania
National guard is prepared to fight aud
shoot to hit, fr over ninety per cent of
the members are qualified marksmen
who can plus; a bull's-eye at lone range.
u read every uay auoul some Mtite
preparing to participate and answer the
call in case of war, but there is one State
hat will not have to make any prepara
tions, and that is tbe glorious old Key
stone Stale of Pennsjivania. ' Pennsyl

SOMETH'NG JUST AS GOOD.
Dow a BilioM Van Gars t'p nis T Caps
of lireakrast Coffee.
An east end man was advised sotne
time ao not to drink coffee. His doctor
toll him it helped to make his liver tor
pid and his liver was doing its best to
render life miserable for himself and all
tbe rest of the family.
But. ni be couldn't give np his two
caps at breakfast time. Ihi ainldn't
make tbo saeriSce. Nothing coaid take
the place of the delicious Java and
Mocha mixed that he hud learned to
love.
One day his wife suggested in a mild
way that he mijjbt be just as well sat
isfied with one of tbe brands of imita
tion coffee. He almost frothed at the
month.
"That infernal stuff!" he cried.
"Not much. Tbe very first gulp would
6ettle me. I'd like to 6i-e anybody try to
fuol mo with a ronnterfoit of that sort"
He didn't notico that his wifoquietly
smiled. Pet, ttranp.- to say, from that
timo cn he grew bi ttc-r. His bilious
tonileuy was greatly msu-ned. He felt
like a new niuu.
One day be met tbe doctor.
"Hello, doc!" ho cried. "I'm getting
better in spite cf yon. "
"Given np coffee, have yon?" queried
the smiling doctor.
"Given npcoffte? Not much. Coffee's
all right."
A few weeks later he met the man
from-whom he orders his groceries.
"Hello!" quoth tbe grocer. "How
well you are looking!"
"Yes," said the convalescent, "I'm
feeling a great deul better."
"By the way," said the grocer, "yon
seem to liko thttt substitute I've been
sending yon."
"What substitute?"
"Why, that substitute for coffee,"
And he named one of the numerous im
itatio:is of the fragrant berry.
"Never had a cup of it in tbe house,'
said the bi'.iuns man emphatically.
"That's fuuuy." said the grocer. "
haven't sold your folks a pound of gen
nine coffee in the Lutt three mouths."
Tbo bilious man didn't say anything
further, but his thoughts were busy.
The next morning he looked at hia enp
a littlo Eufipioionsly, but be drank it
without a tremor. Perhaps he fancied
he detected the difference; perhaps not
Anyway, bis wife still fondly imagines

EARLY ARITHMETICS.
Struggles of ths Pilgrim Children With
One of ths "It's."
Next to penmanship the colonial
school and schoolmaster took firm stand
cn "ciphering." "The Bible and rig
gers is what I want my boys to know,"
said the old farmer. I bave examined
with care a Wiugate's Arithmetic which
was used for over a century in the Wins-
low family in Massachusetts. The first
edition was printed in 1620. It is cer
tainly bewildering to a modern reader.

polito questions to exercise all the parts
of vulgar orithmetiuk. '
Wiccate's Arithmetic and Hodder's
Airtbuietio were succeeded by Pike's
Arithmetic. This bud 03 roles to
be committed to memory, aud not an
explanation was given of one cf them.
It is tbe most barren tcboolbouk I
havo ever read. These printed arith

Victor Smith tells this story In the
New York Press: "My father was an
old time lawyer. He tried a littlo case
for his bootmaker and entered on the
books a charge of $13, tbe price of anew
pair ct boots. When the latter was de.
livercd, the accompanying bill was $30,
i man of any other profession would
have taken offense at the apparent effort
to "do" him, bnt the lawyer smilingly
raised bis fee to f 15, and Mr. Smart
