Professor Recited Eadiy.
One day a college professor, going
to his class, came across one of hi*
students who had just fallen down
Asking him how he fell, the student
1 replied, “Notwithstanding." Tolling
ihe anecdote a short time later the
professor said: “I met Mr. Junior the
other day, and he made a very bright
remark. He had just fallen down, you
know; and, when I asked him how it
happened, he said, 'Nevertheless.’ ”—

j MISSIVES LONG IN TRANSIT
Correspondence Sent From Paris Dar
| ing Siege Took Years to Reach
the Consignees,
What would Americans say if they
received mail matter that had been de
1 layed in transit for a lifetime? In
France, a few years ag.i, letters for
300 persons were delivered—to as
j many of the addressees as were liv
ing—that had been mailed years be
fore. They were delivered, moreover,
at the earliest possible moment; al
; tnough the distance between the send
er and the receiver was in many cases
1 only a few miles.
During the siege of Paris by the
i Germans in 1870 the postoffice admin
j istration hit upon the expedient, in ad
I dition to the balloons, of inclosing let
i ters in small zinc globes, water tight
j and hermetically sealed, and dropping
( them into the Seine. There they float
; ed, if they were not captured by the
Germans, down the river to the French
lines, where a net stretched across
the river gathered them in, and they
ware sent on their way.
Unfortunately for the French, the
Germans discovered the character of
these zinc floats, and as they could not
hope to see and fish out by ordinary
means all the letters that went down
thus, they stretched across the river,
at Villeneuve Saint Georges, a net of
their own and effectually stopped this
system of postal communication.
The zinc balls and their use wert
pretty nearly forgotten, when, some
i years ago, a fisherman found in the
j Seine, near Villeneuve, a queer looking
j globe of zinc. With a large knife he
i opened it, and found 300 letters, still
' legibile, and all dated December, 1870.
They were delivered to the postal au
thorities, and after this long wait In
the river went on their way.—The
Sunday Magazine.
COLORS NOT BORNE IN WAR
British Troops Go Into Action With*
out the Inspiration of the Regi
mental Colors.
The colors of the British army are
made of silk, with gold-fringed edges
and cords and tassels of crimson and
gold, mounted on a staff eight feet
seven inehes long.
To insure their absolute correctness
In matters of detail and pattern, an
official of the Heralds’ College acts
as “Inspector of colors.” He has to
furnish drawings and designs, and la
responsible that an unauthorized de
parture is made from them.
Every infantry battalion has two
colors—"the wing’s" and “the regi
mental." The former is always of the
same pattern, and shows the union
Jack on a biue ground, while the lat
ter has a wreath of roses, shamrocks
and thistles, with the regiment’s motto
and crest, surrounded by a list of the
various battleB In which It has taken
part
Regimental colors are no longer car
ried into action, but are now left be
hind at headquarters when a battalion
proceeds on service. This has been
the rule since the Boer war In 188L A
couple of years earlier two young offl
oers of the South Wales Borders
were killed while endeavoring to pre
vent the colors, of which they had
charge, f 1 falling i. i the hands of
the ehemy at the battle of Isandhk
wana.
Japanese Like Other Babies.
There Is a mistaken but popular be
lief that a Japanese baby never cries.
There Is really no reason why ha
should. Replete with nourishment
and rarely denied a wish, he blossoms
like a wild rose on the sunny side of
the hedges, so sweet and so unrar
strained.
Hla life Is full of rich and varied In
terests. From hls second day on
earth, tied safely to hls mother's
back under an overcoat made for a,
he finds amusement for every waking
hour in watching the passing show. Ha
is the honored guest at every family
picnic. No matter what the hour or
the weather, he is the active member
in all that concerns the household
amusements or worn.
From his porch he participates In
the life of the neighborhood, and is a
part of ail the merry festivals, that
turn the streets into fairyland. Later,
his playground is the gay market place
or the dim old temples.—Francis Lit
tle, In the Century Magazine.
Question of Degree.
On a writ of error to the supreme
court of one of the territories, counsel
for plaintiff in error sharply criticized
the rulings of the trial Judge. Whea
the counsel for the defendant in erroi
began his reply, the following took
place:
"May it please your honors, before 1
finish my argument, I think I can show
you that the trial Judge was not as
crazy as counsel on the other side
would make him out to be.”
By a member of the court: “Let m«
understand you; you admit the fact ol
insanity of the trial Judge, but deny
4a degree?"—Case and Comment.
Gentle, but Pointed.
A young practitioner had one trou
ble some patient—an old woman who
was practically on the free list, but
who registered more kicks than all
the other patients put together. One
day she called to roast him for not
showing up when she called him the
night before. “You can go to see your
other patients at night,” she com
plained, “so why can’t you come whea
I send for you? ? Ain’t my money as
good as the money that them rick
people pay you?” “i don’t know,
ma’am,” answered the doctor, gently.
*! have ne*er seen any of yours.”
