When me an' Jim was

An’ now we’re ten

But those I remember

'i“::c ones I most; can see— . 112':
Are the things that used whimpen
When mother looked at me.
It‘s funny how it makes you feel—
I' ain't afraid of her.

But the queerest sort of- feeling,

Makes everything seem different-

Respect. for the g‘lag.
'-’he new cadet at the National Mili-
try Academy, whether he has come
f om the little country-school with its
1 Jme-made flag and staff, or from the
city school where floats sometimes a'
flag big enough to cover half the roof
of the other school, has been taught to
respect the beautiful emblem of his
country; but he will learn at West
Point, as soon as he begins his career
as a'future ofiicer of~ the army, how
thoroughly he is to be trained to hon-
or it in his daily life. The laughing
schoolboy salute he has perhaps given
the flag from time to time now be-
comes a matter of sober ceremony, so
rigidly required and‘ handsomely or-
dered that it at once sets him to think-
ing; and the good, sound patriotism
that was in him all along soon envel—
ops every glimpse and ceremony of the
colors with a sacredness that will deep-
en day by day.
One of his first lessons is to doff his
cap each time he passes the “color
line,” where the color is guarded by a
sentinel. Every summer the cadets
pass several months in camp on the
lovely banks of the Hudson, and be-
neath the grand old trees of the acad—
emy grounds. '
During certain hours of the day a
long line of stacked rifles extends
along the front of the camp. Across
the two stacks, in the center of the
line, is laid the color, rolled about its
staff. Up and dOWn by this flag
marches a natty cadet sentinel, and
woe be unto the unlucky cadet who
tries to pass this sacred trust without
raising his cap. ‘
So, during his life at the academy
this lesson of respect is continued, and
when he has “doffed the cadet and
donned the brevet, and changed the
gray for the blue,” and reported for
duty with his regiment, he finds the
same lessons being taught the enlist-
.ed men, and then, probably for the
first time, does he realize the full im—
portance of those early lessons taught
in the far-away schoolhouse—Lieuten-
ant B. W. Atkinson in St. Nicholas.
Even Princes‘filust Be Orderly.
That admirable nursery law, which
sensible American mothers insist up;
on, of a child picking up its owntoys
after the day’s play is over, is also en.-'
forced by the nurses in the royal house
onork, in deference to the wishes of
the duchess. The little princes are
made to collect all their toys, while
nursey stands by and directs this first
lesson in law and order. But the other
day all the Yorklings were at Balmo—
ra’l, the little Edward, who was
spending the morning with his great—
grandmother, was having a lovely tifne
with his bricks and lead soldiers when
the door opened and nursey appeared
to take him off to his dinner. She
glanced at the toys and then at the
child, but Prince Edward was not in-
clined to pick/'them.up. This, he
thought, would be a fine time to break
the hateful rules, and he stood irreso-
lute, looking first at the playthings
and then at granny. At last a happy
thought struck him, and, pointing to
the stout, infirm queen, he exclaimed,
in a tone half of entreaty, half of com-
mand, “You help me pick them up.”
There is no doubt but her majesty
would have aided her great-grandson
if she could have stooped, for the
youngster is the apple of her eye; but,
under. the circumstances, Master Ed-
ward was obliged to do it all himself,
receiving a little lecture on “duty,”
meanwhile—Boston Journal.
Why Do the Eyes of Animals Shine.
Everyone knows how the eyes of a
cat or a dog gleam green or red at
night, and many suppose that this
shining is due to some luminous qual-
ity in the eye itself—in fact, a sort of
phosphorescence. But this is a great
mistake.
. The fact is that there is practically
no such thing as utter darkness. Even
on the darkest night or in a tight clos-
ed room there are rays of light which
.the human eye has not the power of
gathering. But the animal’s eye, par—
ticularly that of a carnivorous crea—
ture, can and does gather these (to us)
invisible rays. So the gleam is in
reality the light reflected from the bot-
tom of the eyes, and its color varies
with the color of the “choroid back of
“the semi-transparent retina.” What
makes the gleam the stronger is the
extraordinary way in which the pupils’
of an animal’s eyes dilate at night,

That California Catarrh Cure cures
catarrh; and the dropping into the
throat; that it cures the stufled up
feeling and all other irritating symp-
toms.” ' ,
Here’s what one of them says, only
one, but remember, there are others:
Mrs. A. M. Bedford, 27 Stuart ave-
nue, N orwalk, says: “Several mem-
bersof my family have used the Cali-
fornia Catarrh Cure, which was ob-
tained at Plaisted’s drug store, and we
‘all think that it is a fine medicine. I
' find it very good to 'clear the head, and
my daughter Grace has found it is in-
valuable in curing headaches, from
which she has suffered for a long time,
never having found anything that
benefitted her as this has done. My
husband has also used it for catarrh in
the head and throat, and we are all
willing to speak a good word for C. C.
(3., for we know it is good.” .

GLASS 0? OLIVE OIL.
t.l.l iIli-n-ufd‘I'arulen Drink ltvio Prevent
Getting Drunk on \Vhiskey.
She glasses were going round, says
the Louisville Courier-Journal, when
sl‘olcez—“W'ait a minute, boys. We’ve
had several. Let me give you a tip
that 1 learned when I was on the Chi-
na station. You are
drinkers, you Kentucky boys, and you
can hold four own with anybody from
the East, West or North who tries to
put you under the table. But-unless
you carry out my plan don’t you ever
stack yourselves up against an Eng-
lishman, and especially an army or na—
val oflicer unless you have the good
luck to meet a certain little, yellow
faced, wizened creole from Louisiana,
whose recipe is passed around the mess
tables of United States men-of—war to
this city. It started in the old days
the pleasure of outstaying their Amer-
ican guests or hosts whenever two
ships met on‘a foreign station. Then
that little yellow devil came along with
his trick and the Englishmen have
never‘since come out better than sec—
ond in any drinking bout. The se-
cret? Olive Oil. One wineglassful be-
fore the fun begins and if possible an-
Other later on, and you can keep your
wit and legs throughout the dampest
evening. 'I suppose one of two things
happens. Either the oil coats the
stomach and prevents the oil from be-
ing absorbed by the system or else it
floats on top and keeps the fumes
from rising to the brain. But you’ll
have to ask the medicine men about
that. All I know is its practical result,
and that has enabled us Yankee Doo-
dles to go home cheerful and clear
headed many an evening when our.
foreign cousins were speechless.”
A TRIBUTE TO AMERICAN SCHOLARS
Our Professors Better Versed in Shakes-
pearo Than the Oxford Dons.
It is certainly somethingof a trtibute
to American educatiohal institutions
and scholars that when, some years
ago, a graduate ofiHarvard went to
Oxford and applied for admittance
there to makera special study of
Shakespeare, for a year, he was told:
“Go back to Harvard and Professor
Childs. They can teach you far more
there than we can here.” It seems
however, that this opinion'had been
expressed before, even at a time when
Harvard and American colleges had not
nearly attained their present standard,
for the elder Edward Everett, in a
letter dated as far back as 1818, said,
writing from Oxford: “I have been
over two months in England, and am
now visiting Oxford, havingpassed a
week in Cambridge. There is. more
teaching and more learning‘ in our
American Cambridge than there is in
boththe English universities together
though between them they have foul
times our number or students.”—-Nev,
York Tribune. '
