Wellington'* Ids* of Hlmult.
"1 bot>e to Uod." Wellington said one
Jay. "that ! have fought my last bat
tle. It is a bad thing to be nlways fight
i ing. While tn the thick of It I am too
I much occupied to feel anything, but it
I is wretched just after. It Is quite Im
1 passible to think of glory. Both mind
and feelings are exhausted. I am
wretched even at the moment of vic
tory. and I always say that, next to a
battle lost, the greatest misery Is a
battle gained." ? ? The expres
sion of his face, which was lit up by
an Intensity of feeling, gave those sim
ple words an eloquence which went
straight to the listener's heart. I was
that listener.
"It is experience." he said another
time, "that gives me the advantage
over every other officer Nothing new
can happen to me. and I always feel
confident that 1 shall succeed. The
troops feel the same confidence in me.
For that reason I firmly believe that if
anything had happened tome at Water
loo the battle was lost. I told Lord
Uxbridge so ? ? * Si*>n after a ball
hit him. It must have passed over me
or my horse: But the finger of God
was upon me."- Diary uf France*, Lady
Shelley.
An Official Report on the Cat.
The commander of a commissariat
department in one of the large Prus
sian towns received from the hoard of
control the following official inquiry:
"Why was there a daily expenditure
of 5 pfennig (about 3 farthings) for the
cat of the military stores depot, while
for the cat of the forage depot only 3
pfennigs were required for the pur
chase of milk?"
Not such an easy question!
The explanation officially furnished
by the commander ran as follows:
"The cat of the forage department is
nourished on the mice which have fat
tened ou the corn and meal, but the cat
of the military stores department has
only the mice which get a scanty liv
ing by guawlng the leather straps.
This is the reason for the extra ex
pense for milk for the latter."
The explanation must have sufficed,
for thereafter the milk ration for the
depot cat remained undisputed.? Lon

Eyes That Become Start.
The most remarkable belief or super
stition concerning the human eye Is
one that Is current lu Australia.
Among the natives of that country It
Is the general belief that the left eye
of every chief becomes a star the mo
ment the chief in question is (lone with
it. The suu. they say. is the eye of the
"greater god" and the moou the eye of
the "lesser god." All the stars were
once the left optics of human beings
of high rank. Shungle, a celebrated
chief, once ate the eye of a valiant
chief, thinking thereby to Increase the
brilliancy of his own "eye star." But
the eye burned through Shungle and
kilted him. whereupon his own left eye
became joined to the one he had eaten,
and the two may now be seen as a
beautiful double star lying just to the
east of the Southern Cross.
American Restaurant*.
What disconcerts the European In the
great American restaurant is the ex
cessive. the occasionally maddening
slowness of the service and the lack of
Interest in the service. Touching the
latter defect, the waiter Is not impolite;
he is not neglectful. But he is too of
ten passively hostile or at best neutral.
He or his chief has apparently not
grasped the 'act that buying a meal is
not like buying a ton or coal. If the
purchaser Is to get value for his money
be must enjoy his meal, and if he is to
enjoy the meal It must not merely be
efficiently served, but it must be effi
ciently served in a sympathetic atmos
phere. The supreme busiuess of a good
waiter is to create this atmosphere.?
Arnold Bennett in Harper's.
An English Bellman.
Some occupations attain Importance
simply by surviving. The bellman was
not held in much esteem when he was
really useful, but now in such places
as he still pursues bis "calling" he is
quiie a personage in one fashionable
west country health resort the bellman
goes around in a smart uniform, mount
ed on a pony and when he has cried his
news, generally offers of reward for
lost property, delivers a discourse to
bis hearers concerning himself as the
only mounted bellman in England and
then produces picture post cards with
his photograph, which seem to have a
ready sale.? I.ondon Standard
Sneezing.
Sneezing Is the best brain clearer
known. Many persons conclude an
attack of faint aess or fainting with a
violent sneeze. Our ancestors took
snuCT from a belief in tbe efficacy of
sneezing. But tobacco so taken is in
part absorbed into the blood and hurts
the system. Tickling the nostrils with
a feather or straw will act as well as
taking snuff. Try It when you feel
faint. It cannot do harm.
Believable!
"Do you know that I had two offers
of marriage last week?" asked a plain
girl of a friend.
"Oh. 1 am delighted, dear!" the friend
exclaimed. "Then the report that your
uncle left you his money Is really
true?"
CHeerfulnes*.
If there is need of Joyousness and
good cheer in our words and looks and
demeanor it is when we feel least like
it and when others about us are most
likely to be helped by it.
Patience Is the finest and worthiest
part of fortitude, and the rarest too.

| From the tx?t InformutloQ w? have
the calendar cmne Into One 2330 B. C.,
with a week of seven days and a year
1 of twelve months, named after zodiacal
signs. The year consisted of 300 days,
which probably suggested the division
of the circle iDto degrees Astronomi
cal chronology was divided Into cycles
of CO years, 000 years and the star, or
3.600 years. The "Observation of Bel,"

tions and phases of some of the plan

other scientific problems. Many of the

True Art
"Critics had praised me, academies
had granted me exhibition space," said
the artist; "still I was modest enough
to think that I wasn't any great shakes
as a painter. The thing that Anally
convinced me that tnayte I wasnodub,
after all, was the remark of a woman
who knew a good deal more about bar
gain counters than she knew about art
She studied a picture that had made
critics overwork their vocabulary In
praising it, and her only comment was:
'Myl I'll bet the cloth In that wom
an's tea gown cost every cent of $2.30
a yard.' Just as a matter of curiosity
I looked up my model and found that
the dress she wore had cost Just that a
I yard. Tlieu I knew that I had been
gifted with the divine Ore. To depict
values so faithfully that experienced
shoppers can tell the cost of the cloth
you paint seems to be bitting old art
up at a pretty lively gait."? New York

The Fire Eating Trick.
The first known fire brenther was a
Syrian slave named Ennus, a leader tn

pretended to have immediate communi
cation with the cods. When desirous
of Inspiring bis followers with courage

mouth. In order to |>erform this mar
vel Eunus pierced h nutshell at both

burning substance, he put it in his
mouth and brealhed through It The
same trick is performed today in an
improved manner. The juggler rolls
together some (lax while It is still
burning. By this means the fire is re
tained in the ball for a long time. He
slips this bail into his mouth unper

breath revives the fire, and he sustains
no Injury so long as he inhales through
bis nostrils only.
An Appetizing Greek Dith.
Whatever may have been the secret
of ancient Greek culture. It seems prob
able at least that it did not lie In
the cuisine of the race. If the details
of It that bnve been discovered by
modern scholars are to be taken as ac
curate. A writer In Frazer's Magazine
recently told of one dlsb that migbt
have provoked a warrior to desperate
deeds, but would hardly have Inspired
an artist or a poet He says they mix
ed hog's lard and milk with thick gruel,
making a paste of it and adding fresh
cheese, yolks of eggs and beef brains.
The mixture was wrapped In a fig leaf
and boiled In the gravy of a chicken
or kid. Then they took off the fig leaf
and soused the morsel In a pot of boil
ing honey, then ate it? Steward.
A Hundred Million Sun*.
A peep Into the heavens through a
modern telescope is a peep into the
very depths of mystery. With such an
Instrument one may gaze upon 100,
000,000 stars, each of them a burning,
blazing sun. From what little we
know of creation we cannot but be
lieve that each of those suns Is giving
light and heat to n train of planets.
Just in the ?ame manner that our sun
gives light and life to his little flock
of worlds. Beyond those 100,000,000
suns there may be hundreds of millions
mora Thus they may continue "sys
tem after system and worlds without
end."
The Same Idea.
It Is recorded tbat Napoleon, when
asked to summarize the art of war, an
swered briefly, "The art of war con
sists in being strongest at a given point
at a given time." This answer was
terse and true, but that born but un
taught fighter. General Forrest, ex
pressed the same Idea, yet more briefly
and forcefully. When the grim old
Confederate was asked how to win In
battle he replied, "Get thar fust with
the mostest men."
