A man who to my waking eyes looked cold and starved -and ragged sat upon one of the benches on the embankment. He was sleep- ing, and I knew from his face that then -at least he did not count himself miserable. But presently a policeman came and shook the sleeper into wak- ing life, Then all the violence of the - world seemed :to be let loose upon this ‘wreck of a man. He shook and blink- ed ‘his eyes and breathed with heavy :spasms. It ‘was just as when a fish is caught out of the depth of the sea and ‘suddenly cast into a basket. I have -seen mackerel shake and gasp like this poor man suddenly caught up out of the native depths of sleep. Or i€7you think that a fish thus dying is only an ‘amusing and not a pa sight then think of what it might be if some giant of fable could catch us up out of our native air into the space between the stars. Would we not will- ingly sink back again -into the depth of air? ‘So it is when the lond world lets us glide down into sleep.—London Outlook. tention of fmmediately returning, boys grew restless.

And Then the Gemral Changed His Mind About the Colonel. The French General Gallifet was a i famous cavalry leader, a good liver, a fine soldier and a man of impetuosity, daring and bravery. It is said that Gallifet’s pluck was in great measure owing*to his extraordinary powers of digestion. he once undertaking and ac- complishing the feat of eating a swine- glass. In a biography of General Gal- lifet is the following story: “Puring some maneuveérs he was watching a charge of cavalry under his orders. Suddenly the leading squadron stopped dead. Gallifet roar- ed, ‘Send me the colonel!” ‘And the colonel 2allbped up. ““Now. colonel, what's wrong? “‘We came upon a road at the bot- tom of an embankment whick was too steep to ride down, sir.’ “‘Nonsense, sir! You're not fit for your job. I will lead the charge. ‘ You go to the tail of the squadron.’ “Gallifet took the command, gallop- ed to the road and rolled down the embankment with his horse. Lying on his back with a sprained muscle in his leg. he shouted to his men to stop. adding: “*Send.me the colonel! “The colonel came up from the tail of the squadron. ' “‘Colonel, you were right. I am a d—a fool! You may take the com- mand of your regiment again.’” FIRST TYPEWRITER. It Was a Clumsy Machine and Prac- tically Useless. Most persons will be surprised to learn that the typewriting machine is not, as they imagine, a distinctly mod- ern invention. So long ago as 1714 a patent - was taken out in England by ‘Henry Mill for “a machine for im- pressing letters singly and progressive- ly as in writing, whereby all writings may be engrossed in paper so exact as not to be distinguished from print.” His machine was, however, a clumsy one’ and practically useless. It was not until over a century later (1829) that anything more in this line was attempted. . Then the first American typewriter, called a “typographer,” was patented by W. A. Burt, In 1823 a machine was produced in France having a separate key lever for each letter, and between the years 1840 ‘and 1860 Sir Charles Whetstone invented several machines which are now preserved in'the South Kensing- ton museum, London. yl e In 1873 (C. “L.. Sholes, an American, after five ol six years’ work, succeed- ed in producing a machine sufficiently perfect to warrant extensive manu- facturg. He interested a firm of gun manufacturers in it, and in 1874 the first model of the modern typewriter was put upon the market.—Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. Every Minute Counts. A business man from a small south* ern town was visiting New York. A fiiend asked him what was the most impressive thing he had seen so far— the high buildings, the subway, the ocean liners or what, “None of them,” was the prompt re- ply. “The thing that impressed me most ‘was the rush in everything.. I was in an office one day, and a young ‘woman, evidently a new hand, was opening the mail, There must have heen several hundred letters. She cut one open, took out the letter and lglld it in its proper basket. “Here, that will never do,” said the boss. -“Every time you lay down that paper cutter and take it up again you are wasting time. Cut them all open first and then take them out. You will save at least ten minutes t®at way every day.”—New York Sun. A Different Idea. A well known, man had lectured upon color blindness, and at the. con- clusion of his remarks a collier, who had evidently. not grasped his expla- nations, asked him if he would ex- plain. “Certainly,” said the professor. “Wot is this culler blindness; then ?” '{CARELESS ABOUT APPENDICITIS Many Bemidii people have chronic Appen- dicitis which is carelessly treated as if it were~ordinary bowel or stomach treuble.
