The title lieutenant, secured from destruction or violation borrowed directly from the French, is by the protection of the government, more modern, and is meant as a place- and schools of archaeology employ large holder, or one who took the place of the captain when absent. Sub-lieuten­ ant is still more modern, and at the same time a misnomer, as he never was a sub-lieutenant, but merely a mate, or one who assisted. In former days we had no cadets, but volunteers.

Presently we discovered such a cot­ tage as Cockneys dream about but do not find; where rusticity sits env bo we red amid rose* and jasmine and honeysuckle, all in their proper sea­ sons; where orchards occupy one moie ty of the cottager's land, and a strange medley of flower and kitchen garden ia in luxuriant and prodigal possession of the other, while towering and pictur esque ruins close the upland view and a rapid river gleams beyond and be tween apple trees on the lowlands. One hajapy week we staid here, says a writer in an English paper, as mellow autumn crept on, while the country' side reeked with the sweet smell of pomace, and cidermaking went for­ ward in all the fruitful orchards round about. Before almost every cottage door were barrels and hogsheads, kil derkins and puncheons, filled or being filled with fresh cider, and each vil­ lage church was preparing for its har­ vest, thanksgiving with gorgeous heaps of rich red apples, golden-russet pearl, Brobdingnagian kitchen garden produce and miniature shocks of wheat. Spinsters, youthful and middle-aged, comely or plain, were everywhere busy with the holy and gratifying duty of helping bachelor curates decorate ec­ clesiastical interiors; deriving much spiritual consolation from approving themselves such useful handmaidens of the church. Meanwhile impious farmers leaned over field gates and peered into barns and lofts bursting with abundance of harvest, and cursed heartily because the kindly fruits of the earth were so plentiful--and there­ fore so cheap. It would be a novel sort of Providence that should satisfy a farmer. , His First Chaace. The earl of Rosse is a mechanical engineer of no mean order. One day he entered the engine room of a large factory and gazed in a careless manner at the machinery. Suddenly he was seen to shake his head, pull out his watch toid look first at the engine and then at the timepiece. The engineer's attention being attracted by the odd behavior of the stranger, he growled out: "Well,'what's up now? What have you got to find fault with?" "Oh," replied Lord Rosse, "I've got no fault to find. I'm Just waiting till the boiler explodes." " Your^orasy," retorted the engineer, preparing tor turn the peer out as a dangerous crank. "Very well," said the earl. "If you work ten minutes longer with that loose screw there will be* a commotion here." The engineer, gazing in the direction indicated, turned pale and jumped to stop the engine. "Why didn't you say so before?" he demanded. "Why should I?" replied the earl, smiling. "I have never yet had jhe opportunity of seeing a boiler ex­ plode!" A Fisherman's Qa«er Cateh. "The most peculiar experience I ever had fishing," said Col. Walton, accord­ ing to the Buffalo Express, "was in .he St. Lawrence river. I had a bite wh ch I thought must be a large muskalonfe. After half an hour's play with the fish there was a hard jerk, and then he came in easily. When landed it proved to be a pickerel measuring thirty inches in length. For twenty inches he wis scraped to the bone, the skin and scales being entirely removed. The hook had caught him under the forward fin, aud he had evidently not bitten it. Tie fish was dead when he was landed in the boat. In that way I knew that the bait had been taken by a larger fish cf some kind that had partly swallowel the pickerel, and in his greed had taker my bait, too. He had succeeded it escaping, b$t the hook caught in the pickerel,, and robbed the big fish of his meal. I have never had a like ex­ perience at any other time, and I have been an enthusiastie fisherman for thirty^years." tribal name derived from the word "Arya," or "Noble." Vedic hymns of legendary times and historical records of subsequent ages depict a higher type of womanhood than that of the later epochs, when the comparative freedom of antiquity was crushed beneath the heavy yoke of caste creed. GOLD MINES IN CEMETERIES. Half a Million In Gold Burled Ansaallf with Americans. A Frenchman who recently made a tour of the United States has been writing some of his impressions in Le Temps. In one of his articles he says that what struck him particularly in this country was the American habit of filling the teeth with gold. He con­ sulted statisticians, he says, and by figuring on information given by them has discovered that the gold annually pounded into cavities in teeth of Amer­ icans amounts to the value of five hun­ dred thousand dollars. All of this precious metal, he says, is buried with the Yankees when they die, and he t <ures that at the end of three cen­ turies the cemeteries of Amerioa will contain gold to the value of thirty million dollars. "I am afraid," the writer goes on to say, "that this will prove too tempting to the practical j mind of the future American, and we j shall see the day when companies will | be organized to mine the cemeteries and recover the gold Becreted in the jaws of dead ancestors." The writer then goes on and figures on the average amount of gold in the teeth of each dead person. He has evi­ dently been consulting the record of vital statistics, for he says that eight hundred and seventy-five thousand people died in the United States in 1889. This would bring the value of the gold in each dead person's teeth to an average of about sixty-five and three-quarter cents, and he thinks that in well-crowded cemeteries the mining of this gold could be carried on profit'" ably, despite the small average value/ ROMANCE OF THE Ml th« Story of UiMppmiatts 1 Seventy years ag»i burgh Dispatch, there county named from Mt young man named Jamea*^ a prominent citizen of cated at one of the 1c colleges.

The advantages of Bchnebelite, the new explosive, are thus enumerated by the New Science Review: "Its manu­ facture is simplicity itself; it is adapt­ ed for all war, sporting and mining purposes; it is almost smokeless, with a very slight recoil; it is not perma­ nently damaged by heat or wet; the gun does not foul or become oxidized; no noxious gases are produced from its combustion; it is very cheap to make; a temperature of 540 degrees Fahren­ heit is required to produce a combus­ tion; when a lighted match is applied to it in its unconflned state it simply burns, no explosion being produced the pressure developed by the charge of schnebelite, required to give the normal velocity to the bullet fired from a military rifle, Is from 1,600 to 1,800 'atmospheres, as compared with 2,800 to 3,200 atmospheres, the pressure devel­ oped by charges of other explosives when the same velocity is imparted to the bullet, and as compared with the best dynamite its force is as 55 to 45, or 20 per cent, greater, while it does not pulverize the snrounding rock as dynamite does. The inventors assert that schnebelite can be manufactured and sold at least 50 per cent, cheaper than any other known explosive of a similar character. Its adoption by the French ̂ government would, it is be­ lieved, result in a saving of 50,000,000 franca per annum." A Lawyer's Wit. Sir James Scarlett, the lish lawyer, when practicing at the bar had to examine a witness whose evidence promised to be damaging un­ less he could be previously confused. The only vulnerable point of the man was said to be his self-esteem. The witness, a portly, over-dressed person, went into the box and Scarlett took him in hand. "Mr. John Tompkins, I believe?" "Yes." "You are a stock­ holder?" "I ham," replied Mr. Tomp­ kins, with a pronounced cockney ac­ cent. Scarlett regarded him attentive­ ly for a few moments, and then said, drily, "And a very large, well-dressed ham you are, sir." The shout of laughter which followed completely | disconcerted Mr. Tompkins, end th# > lawyer's point was gained- Ate* :.v; .2 Extraordinary Results of a Gee Mat's Operations.
