Io the some very as some ve volunteer army there are illiterate soldiers, as well ry intellectual ones. No one is brought in closer contact with them than the secretary of a regi- ment, aod Secretary A. Knox, of the Y. M.C. A, relates an amusiag ins'ance of the poverty of words pos- sessed by some of them. “T believe I'll write @ letter to my girl,’’ said soldier one morning as he entered the association beadquart- ers after battalion drill and dropped into a seat. He was a stranger, ly from some company from tern Kentucky. He then confessed to the secretary that he could not write, and asked him to write the letter for him. The official willingly consented, and pro- curing paper and pencil, sat down and asked the soldier what to say. After the te had been affixed, he studied a few minutes. and said: “Tell her ‘Dear Sally—I take my pen in hand to write a few lines. I guess your pa is well as common.’ Here be hesitated, and after rack- ing his brain for a few minutes long- er, resumed bi ation. —‘I guess your ma is well as commoa,—’ "’ : After cogitating for anotber brief interval, he began again—‘* ‘I guess your motber is well as common.’ ’” Another pause, ‘* ‘I guess the other folks is well as common.’ ’’ “Guess that will do,’’ he con- cluded with decision, and with sp- parent satisfaction turned to go. “But this is*not enough,’ sug- gested the obliging secretary. ‘You bave told her nothing about your- self. Of course such an unselfish spirit is very commendable in you, but sbe would no doubt like to hear more, The warrior smiled at the compliment, and sitting down again, and thinking some more, finally ad- Tell her if I could give her ove of them old time *‘smacks’’ I I'd feel better’n common.’ That ended the letter and nothing would induce him to say more. + + t ded, ** The following story was told in Town Topics, of New York, on Lex~ ington, Ky. : It was sented be colored lady who pre- f the other day in Lex Our LADIES WEAR nod looks lovely up to date pleases the fs om creatures less fair; Our styles, which are ever the rarest, ‘‘are charmir * fair women declare, And the men f heeding SHOES lks never forget us, when NICE SHIRTS and FINE They know we keep the assortment from which they can easily choose.

Splendid Record of Future Presideat’s Scholarship. A valuable relic came to light in the transfer of the treasures of the congressional library to its beautifull new building. Far down in the chaotic mass of engravinge, maps, old newspapers and various productions of the brains and pencils of long ago, was found a piece of parchment, yel- low with age, which every American will be interested to read about, and every son of Princeton anxious to see. It is a historic document—the college diploma of James Madison, the fourth president of the United States. In spite of its great age—126 years memento of pre-revolutiona: time is as perfect as it was on the 7 1b day of October, 1771, when it was proudly received by the young patriot rom the hands of the famous Dr. Witherspoon, then president of the college of New Jersey—soon to be a zner of the declaration of inde lence—of whom John Adama He is as high a son of liberty a6 any man in America.” ry letter of the quaint Latin in which the diploma was engraved stands out on the old parchment as clearly as the no ied deeds of its sign- ers upon the war records of their coun- try. Dark clouds were gatherin, around their heads “The crash 7 resounding arms” was soon to be brought to the ears of tutore and students whose names make dear to us the annals of the revolution. James Madison was sieecy deeply moved by the controversies between the colonies and the mother country. In the patviotic excitement of she time “The American Whig Societ was formed in Nassau hall, and M son, at the age of 18, was one of ite principal founders, With other atudenta, dressed in black, he burned while the college bell tolled, a letter from the merchants of New York te the merchants cf Philadelphia an- nouncing the breaking of an agree- ment not to import English goods. In his zeal to win his diploma the youthful patriot nearly ruined hie health. He entered in 1768 the Col- legeof New Jersey—the name Prince- ton, bears in its charter of 1746—and by allowing himself for a long period onty three hours’ sleep out o! he 94, completed the course in three years, Dr. Witherspoon remarked to Jeffer- son of his laborious student that he —tl proposition, and the grand jury ig- nored the ¢ When he had seated Mr. Hamilton by his side on the bench today Hodge aldressed the attorne others present and informed them that be now had an associate judge with him onthe bench, — Reporter Hamilton, he said, had volunteered to give him advice and suggestions as to bow to conduct the administration of the law in his court, and he bad concluded that the young man could be of more service to him if called to the bench than through the columns of his newspaper. Whenever a law- yer would address the court as‘*Your Honor,” Judge Hodge would stop him and call his attention to the presence of ‘‘Assistant Judge Ham- ilton,’’ who must be included in the address. Judge Hodge insisted that the court be addressed as ‘Your Honors,’’ a8 is done where associate justices occupy a bench together. Roars of laughter filled the court room frequently through the day, as large crowds came in to witness the humiliation of the reporter. Lawyers, however, seemed to think Judge Hodge brought the court into deeper contempt by this action than Reporter Hamilton could possibly have done. tr In mentioning the new locomotives just purchased by the Illinois Cen- tral, one important feature was over- looked. ‘This was the fact that the engines are provided with ingenious contrivances by which the bell is rung by air. All the fireman has to do is to give the bell rope a pull and press a button, and the bell rings until the air is shut off. It is a great improvement over the old method of ringing bells, $32 Miss Lillian O'Bowen, who was well known here leading lady at one of the parks, 18 fast wiuging recognition in the theatrical profes- | emins sica, | Sig 3 now pase ed io never knew him to do or say an decent thing. Young Madison was one of the best orators in the college. He was so broken down by overstudy that the programme for “Commence ment day, September 25, 1771,” ends with this line: “Mr. James Madison was excused from taking part in the exercises.” The future president stood very high in his studies. The bit of parch- ment which he ¢o gallantly won and which has just come to light, reads, freely translated, as follows: President and Curators Of the College of New Jersey, to all and everyone who may read thene letters, GREETING IN THE LORD.

Suspended from the diploma by a foot of green ribbon, only slightly faded, is the great round ¢eal of the college, impressed on @ paper star. This was made by placing two square pieces of paper together, the ribbon passing between them. The seal was then sewn to the ribbon by silk thread, which is still white, strong and glossy. ‘There is a faint trace of red on the rim of the seal; the ink has faded out; the letters and design are perfectly dis: tinct after more than a century anda quarter.

To begin with the military unit, private is an adjeetive that hae be- come @ noun. Originally the man in the ranks was a private soldier. The word soldier has been deopped for brevity’e sake, and now the man with the gun is simply a private. The rank and file is what the pri- vate belongs to. A rank is a line of men standing side by sido; a file is@ line of men standing one béhind an- other. The frent of a file is always one man; ite depth may be any num- ber. When men are formed into two ranks a file consists of two men. The rank and file, therefore, constitute the body of a force of soldiery. The title of the lowest noncommis «oned officer is corporal. He hae charge of a squad, posts and relieves tentries and has certain disciplinary control in camp and barracks. Ser- geant (which is properly pronounced earjent) is appointed to preserve dis cipline, teach drill, command d tachments of escorts and the like The] officer is one w In England the word is always pronounced left-tenant—ob- viously a corruption of the French pronunciation. The title of captain, as applied to the commander ae company, isfrom the Latin caput, ahead. Inthe Bible the title was given to kings or princes, generals or commanders of armi governors of provinces, etc., an Shakespeare used it in the sense of a chief commander.

Easter, in Russia, is the most ven erated and also the most gay of the early festivals, says Prince Kropot- in in the Atlantic. The last week of the t Lent, the Passion Week, was kept in Moscow, in my childhood, with an extreme solemnity; it was a time of general mou and crowd of people went to the churches to listen to the impressive reading of those passages of the Gospels which relate to the sufferings of the Christ. Not only were meat, eggs and butter not eaten, but even fish was refused; some of the most rigorous taking no food at all on Good Friday. The more striking contrast was when Easter came. Everyone went 10 church on Sat- urday to attend the night service, which began in a mournful way. Then, all of a sudden, at midnight, the rrection news was announced.
