Only once during a long service at the front servicH rendered in two different regiments, different bri gades, divisions and army corps did I hear un oflieer ubove the rank of cap tain give way to profanity. That onco was t lie case of a brigade commander invoking the curso of Deity upon a ras cally quartermaster. Tho quartermaster resigned on the Fpot and went home, thus removing what might have been a Humbling block front the path of many besides tho general. I should say that tho rascally quar termaster and his close concomitants, tho stubborn army mule and the ob MrcjHrons teamster, furnished tho chief provocatives to swearing for soldiers of tho lino and that in the precinct set apart to their osc region remoto from battle and virtually ontside of the do main of army discipline oaths were qui to us common as they aro in the pages of tho "Ked Badge of Courage. " In fact, the manners as well as tho lan guage of tho soldiers in that nnrrativo nuggi-at that tho studies for it were made from camp followers and the hang ers on of the supply departments, manned, as these were, by uoncombat-ant.-L Into that safe Hisylum drifts, ac cording to a well known law, tho slum element of un army iu tho field. My ears Ktill retain echoes of vol leva of oaths from the lips of two men of that r hiss whom I encountered on tho peninsula- in 1802. Both were enlisted soldiers aud wore the blue. One of tho offenders acted ns keeper of the brigado commissary stores. With him the swear ing habit Was an infirmity, causing his associates to overlook it through pity. The other was a teamster, who had fol lowed tho sea until long past middle life. Swearing in bis caso was a child ish way of showing bravado. It is need less to add that ho was a hopeless cow ard, mid for that reason had been detail ed to stable duty. By referring to tho roster of the com pany in which I served in 18C2-3 I now recall the individuality of 63 comrades. and of that number recognize C5 who did not use profane language on any oc casion. Of the remaining 23 only 11 can bo indicted as possibly given to pro' fauity at times, and that solely on the ground of their general reputation for lightness cf morals. On the expiration of our term of enlistment, in 18G3, two sergeants of tho company recruited a command for tho veteran cavalry serv ice. They had tho pick of COO appli cants rcccutly mustered out from the two years regiments and chose their men atrictly with regard to their previ ous records as gallant soldiers. When tho men came together iu camp, it ap- learei tu.il tncre was not one among the 100 veterans so selected who nsed profano or vulgar Iansuace. A moment's reflection must convince every intelligent person that violent language is subversive of all true disci pline, ami a successful army without discipline is an impossibility in this ago. ine article t.f war proscribing profanity, promulgated, as it was, to t-very new command and read on parade annually nt least, was a protection for the soldier and a moral weapon fur the officer. The soldier could insist upon its observance by his superiors. On the oiner nana, lie weakened his own cause wnencver ho violated the law himself. a uisi uiu.su me article seemed to many obsolete aud ridiculous and was generally received as a relic of Puritan clays. But the more onerous and exact. lug a ruio uie more it is studied aud analyzed. 2dm of fixed habits obeyed readijy, setting a good example.. In the end wilder spirits found that obedience was easier than resistance. Thus at tha j very outset the law of God was impressed upua mo uiKH-rsianaing ox all who hadn't It written in their hearts. George la Kilmer in Independent. DINED WITH THE CZAR. Honors Shoajered Cpon Joseph Frauds. In vaster of the Lifeboat. In 1855 Mr. Francis went to Euro-no. He introduced his inventions at many courts. Ho remained abroad about 13 years and made many warm friends in many lands by his modest, unassuming frankness and his habitual courtesy. And he received great honors af the courts of kings. I shall not soon forget tho storiv3 he told of the events witnessed in these European capitals, they were all so in teresting, and he was so wholly "frank and natural in their narration. He was long at the court of the czar, a sovereign who was deeply interested in the work of tho inventor. When Mr. Francis went to Europe, he had letters of intro duction from many prominent Ameri cans. In St Petersburg ho called upon the American minister. Here, as be told me laughingly, he forgot all about his letters of introduction, one of which was from the president of the United States and another from the secretary of state, and merely told some cf the offi cials connected with the American lega tion that bo wished to meet the czar. "What!" the official ejaculated in amazement. "Meet the czar? Impossi ble, man! Do you realize what you are asking an introduction to the czar of Russia? Why, it would take you a month to get an introduction to the grand duke, to say nothing about getting into the presence of the czar." Mr. trancis went awav, aud, with true American independence, called at the palace of the grand duke. He sent in his plain visiting or business card. He hud not long to wait. The attendant ushered him into a magnificent salon in the ducal palace. "From the farther side of the splendid room, " said the old gentleman to me as he related the story, his eyes glowing with the recollection of the triumph of the hoar, "appeared the Grand Duke C'onstantine, one of America's truest friends, aud, both of his hands outstretched, he took both of mine iu his as he reached me. ' ' Tiio grand duke a.ked what he could do for Mr. Francis, tho man of whom they had heard so much, whose life sav ing service was even thou of such value to Russia's seaeoast, und whosb inven tions promised so much for Uu.s.sia what could he do? Mr. Francis said that he would like to meet the czar. Certainly. The grand duke would make an appointment with him to dine in a day or two with the czar at the palace. Aud this was his introduction to Alexander II, a ruler who never forgot tms gentle, modest American, and who through long years owned him as a cherished friend. A day or two afterward Mr. Francis strolled into tiie office of the American legation. I dcubt not there was a merry twinkle in his eye, for no man loved a quiet joke better than he did The official to whom Mr. Francis had expressed his desire to meet the czar spoke up jokingly: "Well, how are yea coming ou iu your efforts to meet the czar?" "I havascen him." "What," with doubt in' face aad voice, "yoa have seen tho czar? How did you see him, pray tell?" "I dined with him yesterday ," was the simple answer. And it was not the last time he was entertained at the imperial palace. W. is. Uarwood in St. .Nicholas. DUTIES OF CITIZENSHIP. A Decenry That la Laneaiil la More to He Feared Than Criminality. "The thing we have the 'most to fear," writes Dr. Parkhurst in an arti cle on "The Young Man as a Citizen' in tho Ladies' Home Journal, "is not the depravity and the criminality that are rampant, but tiie decency that is languid and tho respectability that is iudifferent and that will go junketing when a state is ou the edge of a crisis or go fulling on a day when the city is having its destiny determined for it at the polls. Would that there could be some legislative enactment by which every reputable traitor of the sort could ba denaturalized and branded with some stigma of civic outlawry that should extinguish him as an American and cancel his kinship with Columbus. Fourth of July and 'My Country, 'Tis d 1 liee. ' "I speak with full assurance when I say, for instance, in regard to the city of New York, that there is no single moral issue capable of being raised iu regard to its administration where the great preponderance of sentiment would not be found to be on the side of hon esty as against corruption, provided only that sentiment were sufficiently resolute and alert to come forward and declare itself. The purpose of a cam paign under such circumstances is not to convince people of what is right, but to stimulate to the point of action those who are already convinced." To Be Expected.

TUCKER OF MARTINIQUE His Important Share In President DhWa Adventaree. "X sheltered President Diaaof Mexico tome years ago, when he was a refugee from his own land, "said Captain J. G. Tucker, United States consul to Mar tinique, at the Ebbitt " He had bee at the head of a revolu tionary movement that had failed and escaped across the Rio Grande to Brownsville. I invited him to my house, and he was my guest for about four months. During that time he impressed me as a man of extraordinary ability and force of character, and between! us there sprang up a fraternal attachment. Diaz thought that he could rely on friends in Brownsville to furnish him means whereby he could renew the fight on the national forces, but when the time came they did nut make good their promises. "One evening on going home I found him pacing the hallwuy with restless stride and evidently in a very agitated frame of mind. I asked what the trouble was, aud he answered: 'I am in the most desperate situation, without a dol lar or a friend in the world. I know not which way to turn. 'You may be without a dollar, but never without a friend as long as I live, general,' said I, und then I talked with him till he got in a calmer mood. Then I told him of something I had re solved ou doing weeks before, which was to let him have a good round sum of momy for the purchase of arms and ammunition. Iu those days I had some pretty fat government contracts, and a few thousand dollars didn't matter much. Diaz was the happiest and most grateful mortal I ever saw. In the plentitude of all the power he has since wielded, I doubt whether he has ever felt the joy that possessed him that night when he It amid that he could have all the money needed for his imme diate use. He actually shed tears of de light, nud on that I felt rewarded, not caring whether I ever got my money back or not. "It's too long a story to tell in detail of how I went on to New York ami got the rifles and ammunition, and what a time we had in eluding both the Mexi can and American officials and getting the arms across the river. But the thing was managed, and it gave Diaz the start for another campaign that ended in his complete triumph. Before that was con summated, however, he passed through an experience that reads like a chapter from Jules Verne. No man ever lived that has had a career so full of romance and hairbreadth escapes. Yes, he re paid mo in full for tho money I ad vanced. Ho is the soul of honor." Washington Post AFRICAN ETIQUETTE. The Wleeat Plan to Follow In Viaitlng the IliC Native Chiefs. In African travel it is always wise to visit tho biggest chief iu any part of the country. ):ie can always learn from other chiefs at a distance who they are aud something of their character. In approaching them always send word of your coming and get, if possible, in formation in advance of the feeling of tho chief toward whites. Upon nearing the village send on ahead to announce your arrival and wait until your mes senger returns with tome of the villa gers to escort you to their chief. Greet the chief civilly and ask. him to send one of his people to show you a good place for your tent, if yoa decide to camp in the village, which I have done invariably in this country, though it is not always advisablo in every part of central Africa. When you have rested, the chief will come to see you. Then state to him your business, talk frankly with him aud explain plainly your needs, whether you want guides or to buy rood. I seldom staid in a place more than one day, and generally the first night I called the chief privately into my tent, had a long talk with him and gave him a present, consisting generally of a good cloth, four yards. of Americani, four of wide blue, four of narrow calico and about an egg cup full of beads aud sometimes an empty bottle or two. In variably I received next day the co-oper ation of the chief in every way, aud also a big goat or sheep or bullock and 60 or 0 pounds of flour. Sometimes I gave a small additional present before leav ing. If the chief took a fancy to any particular thing and I could spare it, I did so. Sometimes one wanted a sheath knife and another a hat. Old Kumbuidi was determined to have a shirt. He wanted a candle matches and needles. which I gave him, and as I had previ ously given him cloth I suggested, as a feeble sort of joke, that, as he now had cloth and sewing materials aud light he might sit up at night and make a shirt. Immediately the old fellow re plied : It is the candle that is interfer ing with my success. Here, take back trie candle and give me the shirt." finally-yielded and gave him a much patched garment, which satisfied him. "Glave's Journey to the Livingstone iree. ny the Late E. J.

Lop is a large town at the edge of the desert which is called the desert of Lop and is situated between east and northeast. It belongs to the great khan, and the people worship Moham med. Now, such persons as propose to cross the desert take a week's rest in this town to refresh themselves and their cattle, and then they make ready for the journey, taking with them a month's supply for man and beast On quitting this city they enter the desert The length of this desert Is so great that it is said it would take a year and more to ride from one end of it rto the other. And here, where its breadth is least, it takes a month to cross it 'Tis -aU composed of hills and valleys of sand, and not a thing to eat is to be "found on it But alter riding for a day aud a night yoa find fresh water, enough mayhap for some 00 or 100 per sons with their beasts, but not. for more. And all across the desert yon will find water in like manner that is tosav, in some 28 places altogether yon will find good water, but in no great quantity, and in four places also yoa find brack- l&li water. Beasts there are none, for there is naught for them to eat But there is a marvelous thing related of this desert. which is that when travelers are on the move by night aud one of them chances to lag behind or to fall asleep or the liKe, when he tries to gain his company again, he will hear spirits talking aud will suppose them to be his comrades. Sometimes the spirits will call him by name, and thus shall a traveler of tt hues be led astray, so that he never finds his party. And in this way many have per ished. Sometimes tho stray travelers will hear, as it were, t he tramp and hum of a great cavalcade of people away from the real line of road, and, taking this to bo their own company, they will follow the sound, and when day breaks they find that a cheat has been pnt on them and that they are in an ill plight. Even in the daytimo one hears those spirits talking. And sometimes you shall hear the sound of a variety of musical instruments and still more rommonly the sound of drums. Hence in making this journey it is customary for travelers to keep close together. All the animals, too, have bells at their necks, so that they cannot easily get astray. And at sleeping time a signal is put np to show the direction of the next march. So thus it is that the desert is cross ed. "The Story of Marco Polo," by Noah Brooks, in St. Nicholas. Trees That What The musical or whist Iin- tree is found in the West Indian islands, in Nubia aud the Sudan. It has a peculiar shaped leal and pods with a split or open edge. The wind passing through these sends out the sound which gives the tree its peculiar name. In Barbados there is a valley tilled with these trees, and when the trado winds blow across the islands a constant moaning, deep toned whistle is heard from it, which in the still hours of the night, has a very weird and un pleasant effect A species of acacia, which grows very abundantly in the Sudan, is also called the whistling tree by the natives. Its shoots are frequent ly, by the agency of tho larva? of in sects, distorted in shape and swollen in to a globular bladder from 1 to 2 inches in diameter. After the insect has emerg ed from a circular hole in the Ride of this swelling, the opening, played upon by the wind, becomes a musical instru ment, equal in sound to a sweet toned tiute.

Ouo morning, when she was out on her bicycle, mak ing good timo iu rather uncertain curves, she saw a man coming toward her in the middle of the road. Still speeding along, she hailed him: "Oh, mister, mister, won't yon please get out of my way?" The kind hearted gentleman jumped nimhly off on the grass at the side of the road, and as the sped by he ex claimed: "Yes, indeed, I will, good lady.
