If the Yale faculty a century and a half ago dealt differently with stu dent offenders, the offenders them selves were of a somewhat different order. It seems that "one Holmes, a student of this college, on the Sab hath or Lord's day, traveled unnec essarily, and that with a burden or pack behind him, from beyond Wal llngford to this place; which Is con trary to the divine and civil law, as well as to the laws of this college." The college officials having fined Holmes Borne 20d sterling, he subse quently made a public confession, of his crime, and afterward became a highly respected minister of the gos pel. This malefactor, says Thomas Wentworth Higginson, in Harper's Magazine for July, writing on the aristocratic prestige of old families in this republican country, was a grand uncle of Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes. How Iron Expands. The Increase of volume from the heating and cooling of cast iron has been the subject of many tests, and It has been shown that the swelling may amount to as much as 40 per cent. After heating In a gas furnace twenty-seven times, the highest tem perature reached being 1,450 degrees Fahrenheit, a bar originally one inch square and 14.8 Inches long was found to have grown to one and one-eighth Inches square and sixteen and one half Inches long. This effect is sug gested as an explanation of the trou ble given by cast Iron fittings for su perheated steam, which produces the same alternate heating and cooling. ALMOST A SHADOW Gained 20 lbs. on Grape-Nuts. There's a wonderful difference be tween a food which merely tastes good and one which builds up strength and good healthy flesh. It makes no difference how much we eat unless we can digest it. It is not really food to the system until It Is absorbed. A Yorkstate woman ays: "I had been a suffoier for ten years with stomach and liver trouble, and .bad got so bad that the least bit of food such as I then knew, would give me untold misery for hours after eating. "I lost flesh until I was almost a 'shadow of my original self and my friends were quite alarmed about me. "First I dropped coffee and used Postum, then began to use Grape Nuts, although I iad little faith it would do me any good. "But I continued to use the food and have gained twenty pounds In weight and feel like another person In every way. I feel as If life had truly begun anew for me. "I can eat anything I like now in moderation, suffer no III effects, be oa i my feet from morning until night Whereas a year ago they had to send me away from home for rest while others cleared house for me. this spring I have been able to do t .my self all alone.

In Harper's appears a narrative of the battle of Solfeiino, as told by a veteran survivor to Robert Shackle- ton. It Is, word for word, a chapter of history as seen by a man in the ranks. Incidents which impressed him are curious: " 'We halted. And a Tyrolese lying on the ground, cried out: "I am dying. Give me to drink." Whereat my companion stooped to offer him a flask, and as he stooped the Tyrol ese struck savagely at him with his bayonet, but my companion Jumped back, and It missed him; and he said: "You Tyrolese, you said you wanted a drink before you died, and now you shall die without the drink." And he stuck his bayonet through him as a boy would stick a pin through a fly. " 'The fighting soon began again, and it was very fierce. It was soon that we came to know that we were to capture a little village, and the hills about the village. The village It was named San Martino, and there were walled barns and gardens, and the Austrlans were very strong there. " 'The bursting of the shells was very bad. Sometimes all of us close by would be thrown down and be covered with mud and earth, but most of us ' would Jump up again, not wounded; but always there were some who would not jump up again, because they were wounded or dead. " 'At the beginning of a battle a soldier feels afraid. At the begin ning of this battle I felt afraid, though it was not our first battle, and we knew what it was to be under fire. " 'So it was that, at the beginning we commended ourselves; we felt like death; but soon that passed away, and we thought no more of death, but only of the killing of the Austrians. " 'All around me men were killed. There were heads and arms blown off, and men flew into pieces like the smashing of a jug. But we did not care, we. We thought nothing of it. I do not know that we even knew we saw such things; but some of them come to me as I sit with you and talk of that long day. We did pot notice; and we did not think that at any moment we, too, might have our heads blown off or be smashed Into little pieces like the breaking of a jug. ' 'Once, when we rushed over the big guns, and killed the men who still fought with us, we turned the guns to fire on the Austrians as they flew away, but they had driven bits of steel into the -touchholes, and so we could not fire them. They were' of a courage, those Austrians. ' 'Only once in all that battle did I think much of what I saw or heard, and that was when there was the so terrible screaming of a captain who had his foot shot off. He twisted and turned as he cried out, and It was a very bad sound. Eut it is just as it chances. I saw many men who were hurt worse than that captain, and many who were blown into little bits, but I did not trouble about them. It is just if it chances so. " 'It is very often that a man does not know that he is hurt. I remem ber that once there was a man near me with a great hole in his forehead, but- he ran right on with us with his bayonet, and I thought, "He will fall dead." But after that I saw him no more, for there was always the fighting. " 'The storm and the blackness, they made of us a great mixing. Yes; it was a very great tangling, for all lines were lost, and I know that sometimes Austrians struck at Aus trians, and sometimes Italians struck at Italians, for we were in a very great mixing, and very fierce in the blackness of that storm. " 'We were told to He down and sleep. So we lay down where we were, among the dead and the wounded, among the Italians and the Austrians. " 'And we slept. Yes; we were tired; for we had fought hard for all that long, long day, and on that hill that at last we had gained we slept, and we gave no heed to the dead men or the wounded. " 'The wounded, they made very great cries, and there were men sent to go among them with lights. Some were surgeons, and some were men to carry them to the field hospitals. But the most of us, we lay there and slept, and we were very tired, and we knew that with the morning there might be another fight.' " OLD-TIME BAIL-DRILL. ' One of the dangers and one of the hardest tasks of the man-of-war's man vanished out of his life when, with the supplanting of the frigate by the steam cruiser, the old-time sail-drill became a thing of the past. Fleets, in the old days, were con tinually exercised in making and shortening sail, shifting spars and all wliaUar manoeuvres aloft, says Cap tain J. W. Gambler, of the British navy, in his "Links in My Ufe." As the greatest rivalry existed among the crews as to which ship should carry out an evolution first, accidents were frequent. Hardly a drill day passed without men b?ing seriously injured. Once, during a drill in Kiel har bor, where the rivalry In the fleet was Increased by the eagerness of foreign ships to compete with the English, an unfortunate French mid shipman went head first from the mlzzen cross-trees of the French flag ship to the deck. That numbers of accidents should take place In sail-drill was not aston ishing when one remembers that spars measuring perhaps seventy or eighty feet long and weighing two or three tons were whisked about with bewildering speed With nothing but men's hands and brains to guide them; hundreds of men crammed in to a space of a few hundred- square feet, where nothing but the most marvelous organization and discipline could avert death on deck or aloft. To the landsman, who understood nothing of the difficulty In rapidly shifting these great masts and yards, or in reefing and furling thousands of square feet of stiff canvas per haps wet or half-frozen the rapidity with which it was done was perhaps the chief wonder. Ropes, running like lightning through blocks that were Instantly too hot from friction to be touched, had to he checked to within a few inches, requiring the utmost cool ness and presence of mind; while the officer in command had to superin tend what to the uninitiated looked like a tangled mass of cordage, but which was in reality no more in con fusion than the threads in a loom. ' In an instant this officer might sea something going wrong; to delay a sinsle second meant a terrible ca tastrophe. Every one, alow and aloft, was relying on his judgment. "Belay!" "Ease away!" The order came in an instant. The boatswain's mates repeated it In a particular cnll which this llfe-and- death necessity soon taught every one to understand; the shrill whistles rising above the din of tramping feet and running ropes, or the thunder ous crash of the great sails in the wind. Death had been averted or not. If not, you looked up and saw some unfortunate man turning head over heels in the air. Your heart stood, still. Would he catch hold of something, even If only to break his fall? Or would he come battering on the deck? It was a mere toss-up. If he was killed outright It generally stopped the drill for the day. If he was only seriously injured, the drill went on, for this was part of the les son that must be learned, that. In peace, as in war, one must take his chances. BRITAIN'S INDIAN SOLDIERS. The coolness and tenacity dis played by the Khaibar Rifles at Mlch nikandao blockhouse on the night of March 2, and by the Twenty-second Punjabi picket at Darwaztgal, on the night of May 16, are good examples of the efficiency of the native troops, and add lustre even to the records of India. The Michnl blockhouse, held by Subadar Tor Kahn and fifty-three riflemen, was attacked for several hours by the main body of Afghan invaders. A hail of bullets was poured into it from all sides, and an attempt was made to escalade it with ladders, which are now the cherished trophies of the garrison. The Sub adar was abused by the enemy in the usual style, and was cursed because he, a Mohammedan, fought against Mohammedans. This, however, was nothing new to the Subadar, for eleven years before, a mullah had come to him, Koran in hand, to call upon him in the name of the prophet, to surrender his post. For all reply Tor Kahn clubbed the mullah to death. The conduct of the Twenty second Punjabis at Darwazagai, was equally meritorious. The picket was commanded by Jemadar Mir Afzal Khan, second senior in his rank in the regiment, and already well noted for proficiency In musketry and transport duties. This gallant man was twice severely wounded during the night, but concealed the fact from his men till he died. Naik Jehanded, though wounded In the head, took command of the picket after the Jemardar's death, while the signaller. Ram Singh, though also wounded, stuck manfully to his work. Such gallantry deserves to be made known by a general order to the wjiole army. Afghan Correspond ence London Times. WOMAN PLUNGES AFTER BABE.

"A stuffed tomato salad is one ol my new recipes," writes Fannie Mer ritt Farmer, the great cooking au thority, in her monthly page in the Woman's Home Companion. "Peel six small tomatoes, cut a slice from the stem end of each, remove the soft inside, sprinklo the insides with salt, and let stand, inverted, thirty min utes. Mash half a ten-cent cream cheese, add six chopped plmolas, one tablespoonful of finely chopped pars ley, one tablespoonful of tomato pulp, one-fourth of a teaspoonful of dry mustard and enough French dressing to moisten. Fill the tomato cases with the mixture, and serve on lettuce leaves with mayonnaise dressing, which may be successully made it one will but follow directions. Mix one teaspoonful of mustard, one teaspoon ful of salt, one teaspoonful of pow dered sugar and a few grains of cay enne. Add the yolks of two eggs and stir until thoroughly blended; then add one-half teaspoonful of vinegar. Add olive oil gradually at first, drop by drop, and stir constantly. As the mixture thickens, thin with vinegar or lemon Juice.- Add oil and vinegar or lemon Juice alternately, stirring or beating constantly, until two table spoonfuls each of vinegar and lemon Juice and one and one-half cupfuls of olive oil have been used. If the oil Is added too rapidly the dressing will have a curdled appearance. A smooth consistency may be restored by taking the yolk of another egg and adding the curdled mixture slowly to it. Olive oil for the making of mayon naise should . always be thoroughly chilled. The utensil used in the mak ing of mayonnaise may be a silver fork, wire whisk, email wooden spoon or egg beater."

This was an old minstrel, or scald, close upon ninety years of age, with long, snow-white beard and hair, and an air of proud dignity in spite of his rude, coarse clothes. Had he not a right carry his head high among the other nobles, he, a de scendant of Harold Falrhalred, the first king of united Norway? That doughty Harold, who went unkempt and unshorn until he reached this high position, in order to fulfil a vow to his high-born ladylove, Gydn? Never before had the old scald left his home in Teleparken, where, true to the habits of his very long line of forefathers, he lived In a cave. It was also ancient custom that the scald. should amuse the king and his court with song and harp, so In an swer to the request of his majesty of Norway, the ancient bard left his cave and appeared at court with his precious old viking lute. This lute, called in Norwegian a lnngleik, Is over three hundred years old. It is of wood, fashioned with much artistic skill. In shape it is not unlike the lutes of later times. Six heavy strings stretched over the opening give forth a deep, full reso nance. Solemn, thrilling voices from a dim, forgotten past seem recalled to life. The scald sang many folk songs old as time, and his distinguished audience listened with the deepest emotion. The King of Denmark was so Im pressed that he warmly urged the minstrel to visit him as a guest in his palace at Copenhagen an invitation which the old man accepted with quiet dignity. Was he not also the descendant of a king? Youth's Coui raulon. WISE WOKD3. Not merely to appear good ought man to care, but to be so both pri vately and publicly. Plato.

In connection with the damage which is repeatedly being caused to the cables of the Commercial Cable Company off the Irish coast by Brit ish trawlers, a letter written by Mr. Clarence H. Mackay to the United Stales Secretary of State shows the cost and trouble to which the com pany Is put In order to maintain its Bervice unimpaired. "During the pa3t three months," he says, "our cables have been Injured and broken two and three at a time by these fishing trawlers at a distance of about fifty miles from the Irish coast. We have expended over 20,000 already this year in making repairs to our cables off the Irish coast, and each and every one of the Interruptions has been due to -these fishing trawl ers. . . . The injury to us is not only the enormous expense of repairs, but also the necessity of refusing to accept business from the public for transmission. . . . The trouble is that it is Impossible in most in stances to find out who the guilty party is, and even after that is found out, it Is almost impossible to obtain proof that the injury was wilful."

In a recent Teport published by the Iowa State Dairy Commissioner, the average cost of producing one pound of butter is given as follows: In the creamery that makes 40,000 pounds of butter per year, It costs 4 cents to make one pound of butter, aud In a creamery producing 50,000 pounds, it costs 3.4 cents to make one pound; while in creameries making 150,000 pounds per year, it costs only 1.85 cents.
