The maiden stood beside me, watching the conflict with brightly flashing eyes; her bos'm heaved, her whole form was alve with the keenest excltement, Truly, it was no peasnt blood which ran in her. “A brave thrus she cried again. “Tho king!” I shouted, “the king, and con- fusion to his enemies!” | Somewhat taken aback by the death of | their comrade, the two remaining men seemed | in no great hurry to renew the combat. But 1 placed my back to the wail and stood on guard awating the'r onslavght, and when they | held back taunted them for cowards. I looked gain toward the maiden, and she gave me a glance which set my heart a-throbbing faster | than had the flashing swords. Presently, re covering something of their lost courage, to two men again approached, but this time with less fury and more method. The trooper cime first and engaged me, while the setgant re- mained stand'ng behind, ready to spit me un- der his companion’s arm if opportunity should | offer. For some moments there was the ring of steel against steel as we struck and par- ried, neither being able to obtain the mas- tery, while ever and anon, at a flercer blow, bright sparks shot forth from the mesting blades. After the first few thrusts, indeed, 1 felt that I had the measure of my adversary, but 1 dared not devote to him the whole of v attention, requiring to be continually on | guard against a subtle thrust from sword of the sergeant. At length, with switt and sudden upward stroke, 1 deprived my opponent of his weapon. It flew from his hand and fell with a clink and a jangie upon the stone floor. It seemed, however, likely to cost me dear, for in striking I stumbled over the body of the fallen trooper, and in a trice the sergeant was upon me with flashing sword. I felt that my last moment | had come and made ready to die as became | a_servant of the King. Instead of a death- (Copyrighted, 1895, that the blow was | madam, am Sir Lionel Mordaunt."

Benjamin of Louisiana, a mem- ber of Davis' cabinet, and an able lawyer, was fond of his jokes, relates the Detroit Free Press. Once he happened to arrive in a town the day after a political meeting. A large number of those who attended it we guests at the same hotel where he happened 1o stop. After examining the register he turned to the clerk and said: “The boys had a pretty jolly time last night, didn’t they? “Yes, they aid,”" apswered t But how did you happén to know “Why." replled Bepsamin, pointing to the book before him, fan ‘always tell how the boys are acting whep they are away from home by examining thelr signatures. if they put down a lot of hieroglyphics on the hotel registers Instead of ithe) letters which spell their names, then I know that they are Lay- ing a very pleasant visit, indeed.” “Do you know,” he added after a pause, “that political meetings are often follawed by a paralysis of the right hand?” “And of the bupn, also?” replied other. “No, T don’t think §0,* answéred Benjamin “‘bacause the brain has to be pretty well pa alyzed before a man Is fhol enough to go Into politics, at least for a Jwving."” On another occasion' in' the trial of a case Benjamin was pressng a witness pretty hard. The man was unwilling to make certain ad- missions, and hemmed, hawed and hesitated, and tried in every way possible to evade the questions. After this had been golng on for some time the judge said: “Are you ill? Why don’t you speak up? What is the matter with your throat?” "Oh, the witness is all right, your honor,” exclaimed Benjamin, “it is not he at all who Is making those queer noises, but it is simply the truth, which 1s feebly struggling for ut- terance. clerk. the —— Subject to Attacks of Cholera Morb Whlle staying In the Delta (Mississippi Bottoms) last summer, E. T. Moss, repre- senting Ludlow, Saylor Wire Co. of St. Louls, suffered from malaria and became subject 1o attacks of cholera morbus. In every in- stance when attacked he was relieved as if by magic, by usiog Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. He sa Ly “I It 45 the uitra’ of med! nfiul e ‘ne plus thrust, however, a most astonishing and somewhat ludicrous thing came to pass; for I found a most useful ally in the brave lady who had displayed so much interest in the struggle. She seized the pot that was seel ing on the fire, pourcd the whole of the scalding contents into the face of the sergeant. He sprang back with a cry of rage and pain, and when & much ado to restrain my mirih, for his face at that moment resembled nothing so mu as 4 boiled lobster. It seemed Lo be his pur- pose to wreak vengeance upon the lady who bad caused his discomfiture, but I had had time to recover and when he turned he found my sword point at his throat. maybe from that circumstance that nothii to his advantage was likely to result from a continued stay, he turned on his heel, ard followed by his disarmed trooper, went 1ap- idly from the house, using as he did o many ungodly words, such as I trow he had never found in his prayer book. We waited in silence until the the horses’ hoofs had died away in the di tance.

The Washington Star man was talking to an acquaintance the other day, when a young fellow, who has blown in the bulk of a for- tunn on himself, and is liable to finish it be- fore many moons, passed by, Just a little too heavily loaded to be comfortable. ““See that young chap,” said the man. *“Yes, and it's a pity about him, too. Nice fellow, and with good abilities, it he would only use them as he should.” “Very true, and he Isn't too old to be cured, it he went about it right.” “If you've got a cure for (hat sort of thing, and will get it patented, you will be a millionaire beforo the year Is out.” “I can't say I've got a cure, but I know of one now in course of experiment.” He didn't go right ahead, and the reporter nudged him with a question. “What is it, and where Is it?" he asked. “Well, 1 needn't tell you just that, but Il tell you what it is. I happen to know a rich man with a relative who is just such another chap as the one we have been talk ing about, only more so. That Is to say, I was that kind, but isn't now. He was quick and bright, and had a good nose for busi- but he would spend money, and not make any effort to acquire it. He had about ,000 left to him when he was 21, and he went through it like a train through a tun- nel, and then fell back on his uncle, or step- uncle rather, and the old man had him on his hands. He became utterly worthless, and was drunk and in trouble all the time. One day, however, he had a sudden attack of common sense, and he braced up and stayed that way for 8 month. “Then he went to his uncle and made a proposition to him. This proposition was to the effect that if the old gentleman would take an insurance policy on his life for §30.- 000, and let him have $10,000 on it to go into business with, he would guarantee to pay the $10,000 back, with the premium, and assume the policy himself, within five years It he failed he would commit suicide, and the old man would make $20,000, less the pre- miums, which, he thought, was a fair per- centago on the investment. It looked to the uncle something like murder, but he thought there was no other way to cure him, so he took the young man up, and the experiment has now bean in operation two years, and up to this time the young fellow has been as straight as a string, and is $7,000 to the good, which he has sat aside for emergencies, and is going ahead making Just as much more as he can. The old man is so pleased about it that I don’t believe he will ask the boy— ho's nearly 30—to fulfill the contract at the end of five years, in case he shouldn't have the full amount in his clothes just at that time.” “Where did you say the young man lived?'! inquired the Star man. “I didn’t say Washington ) PICKPOCK Ight ' he replied.

JW. 8 Portland cement makes tho best outside stucco, the Globe-Democrat answers. It must be mixed with sand to form a mortar, the amount of sand dependiug on the quality of the cement and to a siight degree on the size of the grains of the sand. The wall to be covered must be cleaned with great care, the joints being picked out to give the stucco a chance to bind with the brick-work. The whole surface should be brushed with a very stift brush and be well dampened be- fore the mortar is applied. This should be done with great care and the mortar well rubbed with a float, so 8s to get a smooth surface.

His name is Richmond Benn, and he was 4 years old on October 14 last. He fs a natural reader, and his pareats do not kuow when he learned. When he was about 3 years old he saw the name of a £oap emblazoned on a blank wall and asked his father what it was. His father spelled the word and pronounced it for the baby, who, several days after, re- peated it after him, along with other words which he pointed out. Upon investigation it was found that e could spell and pro- nounce many words. If he saw a word in print and heard it pronounced he never for- got it. And before the parents knew it he was reading in the payers and books about the house. This remarkable child is also a mathematical prodigy, but, unlike the major- of phenome: lists, uses pencil and paper to perform his arithmetical problems. An Ezgle reporter called at the residence of Mr. Benn and asked to see the infant pheromenon. This child is rather shorter than most children of his age, but otherwise appears normal. He has light complexion and large, intelligent blue eyes, and a well shaped head. A book, which proved to be “Rosenthal’s French Mothod,” was produced from the reporter's bag. From the prelimis nary instraction, in English, he read the following paragraph: “In our times, when international Intercourse is constantly in- creasing, when eam and electricity are uniting the whole world fnto one great brotherhood, when the deep thoughts of phil- osophy and the marvelous discoveries of science are no longer confined to any one tongue, but are simultanconsly expressed and carried out by all the great clyilized nations, the practical mastery of modern languages has become a necessity.” e read eagerly, pronouncing each syllable distinctly and stop- ping at a period. At the word “electricity’ he read “eloctric,” but corrected himself im- mediately. Richmond Benn is undoubtedly a freak, yet he does not appear to lack any of the other faculties of a normal mind.

Very few publisiers have elther the time or inclination for a personal reading of books in manuscript, says Harper's Round Table, and for this work they employ skilled read- ers, upon whose judgment they can rely, Some houses thus retain as many as six such readers, and very often a manuseript book must pass through the hands of all these, taking its turn with scores of others, before a decislon s reached concerning it. Each reader hands in a written oplnion as to its merits and demerits, its chances of success or failure. Sowctimes, if these opinions are conflicting, the publisher bands them all, to- gether with the book in question, 1o a seventh reader—a sort of a court of final appeal—and requests him to write an opinion on the opinions. Even if all the opinions are fa- vorable tho publisher may still refuse to bring out the work In question. There are a hundred good reasons for de- clining to publish a bock, and the manuseript must run the gauntlet of them all. It may be too long or too shorf, or too similar to something else already In hand. Its prinel- pal characters may be too young or too old. It may not be In a certain publisher's pe- culiar line, or it may contain sentiment of which he does not approve. He may already nave accepted as many books as he cares to fssue in that year.
