At after he had score of French ed by a bullet a sergeant in charge of ome of city patrals, \ - It was thén found that he was wearing = concealed coat of mail, very finely wrought, beneath his out- er garments, which consisted of a black velvet goat, ok: y and black 'silk stockings. On his hands were black gloves, and his face was partially covered by a black steel visor, . Who he was or.why he made war on his own account in this eccentric fashion was never known, Some said that he was a German count, others that he was an Austrian baron, But the most generally received opinion was that he was a "mad English- man," although the only grounds for the supposition would appear to be that a considerable sum in sovereigns was found in one of his pockets, and that the very maluable gold watch he was carrying hed inscribed oa it the name of a London goldsmith, Siatin Pasha. It is rather remarkable that an Austrian, one of the world's 'best known men, should have held the King's commission in the British army, but suebh was the case umtil the man in question resigned and returned to fight for his native coun try. This is Major-General Sir Rudolf Baron von Slatin, detler known af Slatin Pasha, late British inspector- general of the Soudan, who was mar ried in Vienna recently to the Baron. ess Alice von Ramberg, daughter of the late Gemeral of Cavalry, Victor Baron von Ramberg and of the Bar oness Ottille von Ramberg, nee Coun: tess of Breda. The grandfather of the bride, the late General George, Baron Ram- berg, when a youmg captain in the Austrian cavalry, was attached to the personal staff of the Duke of Well ington at the battle of Waterloo. Slatin Pasha's career is one of the most adventurous and romantic on record. He is fifty-seven years old, a native of Vienna, and began life as an officer in the Austrian army. In 1876 he visited the Soudan, and in 1878 'General Gordon appointed him governor of Darfur. 'He was capture by the Mahdi and kept a prisoner for eleven years, He was knighted by Queen Victoria and was appointed inspector-general of the Soudan in 1900, To Scotland's Poets. One of the finest memorials in the world commemorates a poet, the author of "The Lady of the Lake" and "'Marmion." This is the Scott monument, the chief ormament of Princess street, Edinburgh. The peet is seated under a magnificent canopy, and by his side is his favorite collie, Maida. This remarkable memorial also shows the correct likeness of 16 other Scottish poets and statuettes of 64 of Scott's "characters." Scotland bas another beautiful sta- tue to a poet, but very few people see this in comparison with the crowds who view the Scott monment, for it stands---or, rather, sits -- beside St. Mary's Loch in Ettrick Forest. It commemorates James Hogg, who was called "The Ettrick Shepherd," and, as in Scott's case, his dog, too, enjoys a twin immortality -- the faithful sheep-dog Lutham, which was the poet's constant companion for many years, Miss Hozier's Misson. Mrs. Winston Churchill, with re- sponsibilities and a perambulator at home, has not gone to the front as a nurse, but her sister, Miss Nellie Hozler, would let nothing keep her in England while Belgium was full of wounded. With no special train- ing in medicine, she was obliged to join a little expert band of doctors and nurses as interpreter. Not one of her companions knew French or German, and though a wounded man can make anybody understand when he wants a drink of water, his foreign friends are often left in thd dark as to his more elaborate needs. Miss Nellie Hozler has a fund of the high courage that goes with high spirits. She was in the first flight of young women to loop the loop at Hendon. Ready Retort. In the days when Rowley Hill was Bishop of the Isle of Man one of his cles ,» bearing the name of Tears, came to say adien to his bishop on getting preferment. The parson said: "Good-bye, my lord. I hope we may meet again, but If not here in some better place." The bishop replied, "I fear the lat- ter is unlikely, as there are no Tears in heaven." "Ne doubt," wittily answered the parson, "you are right that our chance of meeting is small, as one reads of the plains of paradise, but never of any Hills there."

Important investigations bave of late been directed towards the dis- covery of how long a flea may live. This is more important, if possible, to discover about fleas than it is about flies and mosquitoes. Fleas, 100, are bearers of many vicious parasites which disseminate all sorts of dis- eases.

Famons Battle Speeches. Much might be 'written of historic battle speeches of commandants. Nelson's utterances must, of course, take the first place, not only because of their undoubted authenticity, but because each of his great victories was preceded by #s own particular motte. "Victory or Westminster Ab- bey," were his words before the open- ing of the Battle of the Nile. "I have only one eye, and 'have a right to be blind sometimes," he said at Copen- hagen as he placed his telescope to his blind eye when the signal for re: call was hoisted on the admiral's flagship. "I really do not see the sig- nal," he added, and sailed on to vic- tory, . The immortal "England expects every man to do his duty' flew at Trafalgar, where the hero fell, the original sentence being "England confides," but the latter word not be- ing found in the signal code it was changed to 'expects,' 'to avoid spell- ing out the word. Waterloo (the site of which has again been a battle-ground) was pro- ductive of Beveral famous phrases. Wellington's "Up Guards, and at 'em," is endeared to the heart of every true Briton, though unfortun- ately the Iron Duke denied having used the particular words. In all probability he said something like 'Stand up, Guards," Totting It Up. Captain Godfrey, who wrote the first book on British boxing--"A "Treatise on the Useful Sclence of Defence' -- once appeared in the King's Bench as surety for a friend for three thousand pounds Al- though Serjeant Willoughby, the op- posing counsel, knew well that the captain was good for a larger amount, he insisted on proof that he was worth as much. Slowly the captain recited particulars of his means, and finally Willoughby said there was still "not enough by sixty pounds." "Well, as to that," sald the cap- tain, "I haye the note of hand of one Serjeant Willoughby for sixty pounds, ahd I hope he will soon have the honesty to pay me." There was a roar in court, and the serjeant looked very foolish, especial- ly when the presiding judge, Lord Mansfield, remarked: "Well, brother, I think we may ac- cept the bail." Legend of Drake's Drum, According to the legend, Drake's drum is to sound again, "when Eng- land was in danger," but the sugges- tion of a correspondent of The Pall Mall Gazette that it should be beaten at some of the recruiting stations will certainly not be adopted. It is a ven- erable, and probably in these days a noiseless relic; and if it is ever to be beaten it should only be by the ghost of Drake himself. (One likes to bor- row the Japanese idea in these days and think that the hosts of our mighty ancestors are watching and fighting on the side of their descen- dants). The drum still hangs at Buckland Abbey, where it is a cher ished possession of lady Elliott- Drake, whose book on "The Family and Heirs of Sir Francis Drake' con- taing an {llustration of it.

To quote the actual words of the rule relating to dum-dum bullets, "The Powers agree to al from the use of bullets with & hard envelope which does not entirely cover the core, or is pierced inelsions." : It was the British troops in India that first brought inte use the dum- dum . In the petty wars on the northwest frontier of India our soldiers were often exposed to night camp by tic swords- n as Ghazis, or fighting der- troops, how- the bullets anywhere dn the circumstances related. dum-dum was derived from the town of Dum-Dum, four and half miles from Calcutta, where the bullets were first manufactured. Dum-Dum, which has been described #8 whe Woolwich of India, and was for a long time the headquarters of the Bengal Artillery, was, it is in. teresting to note, the centre of the first open manifestation against greased cartridges in the Sepoy Mu- tiny in 1857. | It 1s pointed out, however, by Mr. F. C. Selous, the famous big-game bunter, whose knowledge of rifies snd shooting is probably unequalled, that the new-pointed bullet, itself a German invention, and now for the first time employed in warfare in Western Europe, inflicts at short ranges more grievous wounds than any form of soft-nosed expanding bullet. . These pointed bullets, it seems, are apt to turn sideways on striking a man or an animal at short range, with the result that although the hole caused by the entry of the bullet is small, round, and clean-cut, the skin is often torn open where they pass out on the other side. Mr. Selous relates how on several occasions he has found one of these long, solid- pointed bullets, absolutely unimpair- ed In shape, lylng broadside under the skin of an animal, through whose body it had torn a large lacerated wound. At long range, however, when the velocity of the bullet has slowed down, they do not caush such serious wounds. Regimental Nicknames. Many of Britain's finest regiments owe their nicknames to some humor- ous or adventurous incident in their history. Thus the East Yorkshire Regiment is known as the "Snap- pers," in memory of an occasion when, their cartridges having failed, they continued to snap their rifles in the face of the advancing enemy with such vigor that they turned tail and fled. The 7th Dragoon Guards own the honorable title of "Strawboots" to the fact that at Warburg, when their boots were worn out, they swathed their feet in straw bands; and the 11th Hussars have been "The Cherry Pickers' ever since, it is said, some of them, in the Peninsular War, were captured by the enemy in an orchard. { Even more interesting is the nick- name, "Pontius Pilate's Bodyguard," borne by the 1st Foot, of which the following story is told: When the regiment was in French service, a| dispute arose between it and the Pi- | cardy Regiment as to which was the | older. The men of Picardy claimed that they were on duty on the night | of the Crucifixion, whereupon the Bri- tons retorted that they were also on | duty and very wide awake when their | rivals were sleeping, for they were acting as bodyguard to Dlilite him- self, oye A Cruel Jest. Samuel Rogers, the poet, resided with Lady Holland and amused himself by exacerbating her fears of illness and death. During the chol- era epidemic Lady -Holland was a prey to indescribable terrors. She could think of nothing but precau- tionary measures and on one occa- sion" was describing to Rogers all that she had done. She enumerated the remedies she had placed in the next room--the baths, the apparatus for fumigation, the blankets, the mustard plasters, the drugs of every sort, "You have forgotten the only! thing that would be of any use," ob- served Mr. Rogers. "And what is that?" "A coffin," replied the poet. Lady Holland fainted. --"Memoirs of the Duchesse de Dino." * Kafir Swimming Feats. The Kaffirs are great swimmers. They can do things in the water which other folk 'would look upon with astonishment, For example, a Kafr boy can ford a stream shoulder high, running as swiftly as if shot from a torrent. The way they accom- plist the feat is thus: Just before en- tering the water they get a huge stone, sometimes as heavy as them- selves, and with the help of a com- panion place it upon the head. A weight like this gives the boy bal- ance, and he can keep his footing against the heaviest stream. were to drop the stone he would be so light that the water would sweep him off his feet. And this is just one of the Kaffir tricks against tide and flood: eens dm : ---- -- A student of human nature rays that only women ever return borrow- ed umbrellas.
