It is doubtful if the soldiers of any nation are braver than those of Russia. It is related of Field Marshal Paskieâ€" vitch that in the course of the siege of Varsovie, being some! hat discommod- ed by a hot fire from a certain battery, he ordered it to be shelled, but to no purpose. His troops did not seem able to locate the enemy, and their shot had no effect. Finally the field marshal himself galloped forward and sternly commanded: "What imbecile is in command here?” “I am,” answered an oflicer who ap- proached. “Tell that to others. Don’t come try- ing to fool me with such chaff. You Will receive your punishment this even- mg.” The captain coolly took a shell from a pile near by, lit the fuse and, holding it in the palms of his hands, presented it to the marshal. saying: “See for yourself. sir.” The marshal, folding his arms across his breast, stood looking at the smok- ing shell. It was a solemn moment. Both men stood motionless, awaiting the result. Finally the fuse burned out, and the captain threw the shell to the ground. The Line as Cnvurylng a. the Point- ing of the Pole Needle. The zero of absolute temperature has long been indicated as a mysterious and important point in two ways. The first is the contraction of gases, which in all known gases operates uniformly as the temperature is lowered. As long as they retain the gaseous state gases shrink in volume so uniformly with each added degree of cold that an ex- act, unvarying line of diminishing vol- ume is established. This line is as un- varying as the pointing of the needle to the north pole. It cannot be explained any more than the action of the needle can be explained. As every gas is cooled, however, degree by degree it points unerringly by the law of dimin- ishing proportions to a point at which its volume would be nothing. It the shrinkage continued, since the propor- tion of loss of volume never varies, the gas would shrink to nothingness. It could not do so, of course, and all gases sooner or later fall out of the line by becoming liquid, when the law ceases to operate, and the pmportion of contraction in volume ceases to be the same. As long as they remain gases, however-and the law is precisely the same in all gasesâ€"they mechanically point their figurative fingers in one di- rection, and all these figurative fingers indicate a point which is 461 degrees below the zero of the Fahrenheit ther- mometer. “Well, captain, I shall degrade you, since you do not know your business. Your shells have no effect” “True, sir, but it is not my fault. The shells do not ignite.” “It’s true,” remarked the marshal, turning away to consider other meas- ures to silence the enemy’s fire. In the evening, instead of punish- ment, the captain received the cross of the Order of St. Vladimir. A Tricky Actor. Lemaitre, the French actor, was al- ways head over heels in debt despite an enormous salary and was always kept busy devising means by which he could raise money. One evening an hour before the curtain was to rise up- on a new play a well known pawnbro- ker entered the private omce ot the di- rector ot the Theatre Francais. “Here is a pawn ticket for you, sir.” “For me?” exclaimed the astonished director. “Yes. monsleur. It is for 20,000 francs, and I hold M. Lemaitre as 8e- cnrity. He cannot leave my place until I have been paid.” A Knight of the Middle Ages. Love found ready victims in the knights and troubadours of the middle ages. Ulrich von Lichtenstein, a me- diaeval German cavalier, loved a wo- man with all the intensity of a luna- tic. He used to roam over hills and valleys in quest of other knights. whom he challenged to duels if they dared to doubt that his Dulcinea was the fair- est ot the fair. On one occasion he amputated one of his fingers and pre- sented it to his patroness as a proof of the torture he could endure for her sweet sake. And meanwhile his wife plned alone in her chateau in the for- And the pawnbroker was telling the truth. The director had to pay this amount before he could get his star. Lemaitre and the pawnbroker divided the spoils. Took Hun-elf OR. Foote, rB‘xe comedian, was once threat» ened wi a whipping because he had caricatured a certain man.

DURHAM UHRUN ILLE A quiet but very pretty wedding took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H.

The Wed- ding was private, only members of the family being present. Rev. S C. Muro ray officiated. The bride was given away by her father. and looked very pretty in a beautiful gown of lilac moiresilk trimmed with white, appli- que. Her only ornament was a crescent or pearls. the groom’s gift. The brides- maid. Miss Quimbey, of New London, was prettily gowned 'n brown silk touched with white and wearing a set of gold buttons set witnamethysts, the gift of the. groom. Mr. Oscar Finger attended the groom. After the cere- mony a dainty supper was served from a beautifully decorated table done in pink and white Carnations. Mr. and Mrs. McCormack will leave next Mon- day for the \Vest where they intend to make their home. The young couple who are both so well and favorably known. received many gifts from a host of admirers and well wishers. Annung the many gifts was a very pretty gold lined spoon from the mem- bers of the Thistle Hockey Club.

He says “at one time I used to get break- at eight dinner at five and supper the next day and didn’t know ”how to fig- ure out as three square meals a day.” The opinion of a number present at the time was that George put in a greater number of hours of a century .than any other man in Durham. There are a lOt of people in this world that seem like a dog that used to lean up against the fence to barkâ€" born tired. Motion is as foreign to them as a Steeplechase to an ele- phant. if they are in the race at all the; manage to be at the tail end. They never think of doing anything until the time for action is past and somebody else has reaped the benefit that always accrues when a man’s heels follow his thoughts. Slower’n molasses in January, these peOple give an indescribable pain to those who have anything to do with them or their afiairs. One feels like giving them a thump in the back of the neck or otherwise assisting their thoughts and members to more con- certed and rapid action. Laziness of either mind or body is a fatal disease. A man in this age must step a lively pace if he expects to have a fighting chance,eyen. The father of a large family took his fourteenth child to the church to be christened. On entering the church and while preparations were being made, the priest asked what name he would like to call the child. The father said he had forgotten the name the family had chosen, so the priest mentioned several. which were not the right ones. At. last the fath- er agreed to call it Michael. so when the ceremony was finished and the people were leaving he turned to the priest and said “I don’t know what my wife will say. for we have Mi- chael at home and this is a girl.” CHILLS PROVE FATAI !
