Middleton, the Earl of Minto, then Lord Mel- gund, saw some rough campaigning in the Canadian rebellion of 1:585, and on his recent ride across the prairies he must have recalled the time, twenty years earlier, when he rode there as a soldier, ever on the alert for the hidden foe. Col. Deni- son, in his interesting book, “Sol- , dieting in Canada,” gives the follow- ' ing account of his meeting with Lord I Melgund: _ u o 4-...A. g‘f Wes sound asleep in my tent about 4 o’clock the next morning, May 10, when I wags awakened by hearing a voice saying to the sentry, ‘Which is Col. Denison’s tent?' The lentry pointed it out, but I was up before he had done it, and pulling on my jack-boots, which was all I had to do to be completely dressed, I un- hooked the tent door and said to the officer, ‘Come in.’ As he bent his head to come in, I saw a staff offi- cer's cap, and thought it must be Capt. Freer, the general’s aide, but when he got in and stood up I saw it. was Lord Melgund. ' * * * I knew Lord Melgund was chief of stafl, â€"vâ€"â€" _ and that a battle had been fought the day before, and it starpled me to see the chief of staff fifty-five miles to the rear by the morning. All this went through my mind in an instant, and I said, ‘What news have you from the general?’ He lowered his voice, so that the sentry should not hear him, and said, ‘Well, it is not, good.’ ‘What!’ said I; ‘surely he has not been defeated?’ ‘No,’ he replied, ‘but he has had a check. He tried to drive the enemy out, but could not succeed, and he has fallen back a little way, and formed a defence with his Wagons, and there they are. Some i thought he had better retreat, but it was considered that that would have a bad moral effect, and he has deter- mined to stick it out.’ He then said, ‘I want to send off some telegrams at once.’ The operator was away, trying to mend the. line beyond us, ’but one of my sergeants was an ex- cellent operator, so T awakened him and we went down to the station. On the side of an old hayrack, lean- ing against the ‘back of the log shan- ty which constituted Humboldt, with his cipher book before him, Lord Mel- gund wrote out his despatches. I walked up and down the grass, and saw the sun rise on a, lovely May morning, everything looking beauti- ful, and I could not help thinking of the anxiety this news would carry to many a home in Manitoba and Ontario. Sony to Leave tho Front. “Lord Melgund came back to our camp, where breakfast, had been pre- pared._ He _then slept, till about 1 p. ._--.1 T :u‘”‘ rwvvn _._- -__- ~ . 111., when he had dinner, and I fur- nished him with a fresh horse to ride on towards Qu’Appelle. lie nev- er said a Word about why he was sent down, but the impression was that it was to get up some regulars from Halifax. * * * * * Lord Melgund told me he was very much averse to leaving the front, but that Gen. Middleton thought it necessary to send him, as he had important work for him to do. JuSt at this serious crisis of the campaign, the telegraph lines were constantly inter- rupted and the events were thicken- ling. Lieut.-Col. Otter had been de- feated at Cut Knife on May 2nd, and for four days the general was en- trenched about half a mile from the enemy's advanced posts. During this period Humboldt became the end of the telegraph line, and as I was in command there, and the telegraph operator away for some days trying to repair the line from Humboldt to Clarke’s Crossing, the whole work had to be done by Sergt. Harry Wil- son, of the Body Guatd, who was an expert operator. We were, of course, anxious about the general’s position, and I asked Lord Melgund whether we should not bring out all the flaws we could hurry up and march TY- THE RIEL REBELLION.

He advised me to wait, and I found that at any time I could not get in couriers to the camp and receive re- plies. then it would be best to tele- graph to the Government that. as senior officer near. I was going to orâ€" der forward all the troops that I could reach, and march to relieve the general. Fortunately I had not to take any such responsibility. ' ' Surrounded by a Patrol. “I did not see Lord Melgund again for 14 years, when as Earl of Minto I ‘and Governorâ€"General he held his first reception in Toronto, when he reminded me of meeting the patrol of my men on their way to the Spa- tinaw. He met them a few miles away from our post in the early dawn. Lord Melgund was accompan- 'ied by an orderly. the Hon. Mr. Fiennes, one of French’s Scouts, a son of Lord Saye and Sile. When the patrol met them. two men rode Out rapidly to each flank and surrounded them, much to the amusement 0! Lord Melgund. who did not at first understand what they were doing. They showed him the way to our camp and then went on." The Earl As An Imporlallst. Nearly every other historian of the memorable rebellion has had Some- thing to say about Lord Melgund, and one and all speak with the utâ€" most respect of the soldierly quali- ties he there displayed. He was re-‘ commended for honors by Gen. Mid- dleton, but unfortunately the general was at the time under a cloud, and to prominently identify himself with any particular circle or interest, but comrades on the prairie.

The human eye in perfect condition is able to see objects separately that are only one minute of arc apart. Put two objectsâ€"as. for instance, two black circles on a white groundâ€"just one inch apart and then place them at a distance of about 286% feet. As seen ' with the naked eye the apparent space between the circles will be a minute of arc. This space is plainly the limit of detail visible to the unassisted human eye. Now, it might be supposed that an insect. having a compound eye. would be able to see more detail than we can doâ€"in other words, could separate small objects closer together. As a matter of fact, owing to the small aperture of the lenses composing the facets of the eye and the spacing be- tween the facets, insects see less detail than we do. Dr. G. Johnstone Stoney calculated that a dragon fly cannot see separately two objects which are place ed less than one degree apart. In oth- er words, to such an insect two silver 1 coins lying on a table three inches apart and viewed from a distance ex- ceeding fourteen and one-third feet would appear as a single object. Bees and flies, according to the same au- thority, are still more limited in their ability to see the details of objects pre- sented to their eyes. A fly could only see the two silver coins above describ- ed separately at a distance not exceed- ing about seven feet. “. Stinging Tree. ' The stinging tree of faraway Queens- land is a luxurious shrub, pleasing to the eye, but dangerous to the touch. It grows from two or three inches to ten or fifteen feet in height and emits a disagreeable odor. A traveler says: “Sometimes while shooting turkeys in the shrubs I entirely forgot the sting- ing tree till I was warned of its close proximity by its smell and have often found myself in a little forest of them. I was only once stung, and that very lightly. Its effects are curious. It leaves no marks, but the pain is mad- dening, and for months afterward the part when touched is tender in rainy weather or when it gets wet in wash- 'V “Iv-av- vâ€" ing, etc. I have seen a man who treats ordinary pain lightly roll on the ground in agony after being stung, and I have known a horse so complete- ly mad after getting into a grove of the trees that he rushed open mouthed at every one who approached him and had to be shot. Dogs when stung will rush about, whining piteously. biting pieces from the affected part.” The One Thing Lacking. Emperor William 11. wrote a poem once which he submitted to a great lit- erary man who dined at the castle for that purpose particularly. The critic read it and found his dual duties in conflict. He had to advise an amateur poet with an exceptional power for re- senting a hostile comment. Be yielded only a very little to the exigem-ies of the situation. “This verse. your maj- esty.” he began. “seems to require al- teration in certain l'('<“t'(‘tS." The au- thor took the manuscript and conned it thoughtfully; then his brow cleared. “Why.” he cried. as one seeing a sud- den light. “I have actually not signed the poem! Give me a pen!” And the only fault he saw in the work was forthwith remedied. Diplomatic Corps Costumes. An interesting fact not generally known in regard to the diplomatic corps is that a member of that august body cannot. under the penalty of of- ficial reprimand and danger of recall. appear at a fancy ball in the national costume. This fact was developed one evening when a large fancy ball was given at one of the private houses on the same evening of a presidential re. ception to the diplomatic corps. Those of the diplomats who attended the ball later in the evening were'obliged to first change the court costumes worn at the White House. Inquiry on the part of curious friends developed the }eason just stated. The phrase “a kettle of fish,” mean- ing an awkward entanglement. most: probably has no connection with our Word kettle, a vessel in which water is boiled. It has been with much rea- son derived from the word “kiddle.” French “quidel,” a stake fence set in a stream for catching fish. Inspector Walpole reminds us‘that this kidellns net. or kiddle. was mentioned in May:- na Charta and in other early statutes. -â€"London Standard. The Joy of Life. The true joy of life is the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one. the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap, the being a force of nature instead of a feverish. selfish little clod of ailments and grievances. complain- ing that the world will not devote it- self to making you happy.
