The fortifications of Sevastapol, which enuned the allies so much trouble during the six months' defense of the fortress by the Russians, were at first very weak, and military experts say the town might have been taken by a vigorous bombardment and assault during the first few days of the siege. The igno rance of the allied generals in regard to the strength of the works caused a delay which the Russians improved by making the defenses almost impregnable.

It would hardly bo fair to ti 11 his 11:11:10, ns it wux learned in coiiftY.euco, and tlw fad might not bo regarded ns a mere eccen tricity by some jicople who have Buffer ed from it uud t!iey might be tempted to complain to the iwlice. A .:ain, every body who litis lost 1111 umbrella and that means a majority of the jM-ople of Chicago would look up Lis address in the directory and fwcc p down upon him with tho hope that his lost property might be in his collection. Thenj are other r.ira who have a weakness for taking umbrellas, bt.t no man is known to have carried it to so great an extreme as this one. Ha has a collection numbering 400 umbiellasof all kinds. A good many of them wore bought. Some of them were borrowed from friends, with and without their permission, and others were acquired in other ways which it would be hardly polite to mention. The man is a good citizen in other respects, but he is a vic tim of the umbrella habit, and when he sees an umbrella lie is compelled to struggle very hard to resist the tempta tion to make himself its owner. Usual ly he yields to the temptation, and tho coveted prize is transferred to his col lection. The umbrella collector docs not make any great display of his collection. The umbrellas are piled up in a big closet in his bedroom, and ho very seldom visits it. Now and then he looks over them and counts them with satisfaction. The hwt time he counted them there were 39S in the closet. He has added a few to his collection since that time. In every other way except this pas sion for umbrellas, which amounts to a mania, the man is porfwtly sane. His friends regard him as a very clever man, and ho holds a responsible posi tion in a big wholesale house down town. But umbrellas are his weakness. He is a victim of the umbrella habit just ns another man might bo a victim of the opium habit or morphine habit, and his relatives nro in constant fear that the habit n;;;y some day get him into trouble. Chicago Times-Herald. HE HAD A CLOSE CALL. Major lirneral Milei'Thrilllng Encounter With Lame Deer. Probably the closest call General Miles ever had in all his experience as an Indian fighter was that in his en counter with Lame Deer. It wits in 1877, when he was still a colonel, dur ing his campaign against the Sioux and other hostile trilx-s iu the northwest. Lame Deer and his outlaws had been making trouble in Dakota, and Colonel Miles raided their village. He tells the rest of tho story in his personal rocollec tions thus: "In the surprise and excitement of the wild onset of the charge a group of warriors was forced away from the rest. Before making the attack I had ordered our Sioux and Cheyenne Indians to call out to the Lame Doer Indians that if they threw down their arms and sur rendered we would spare their lives. As we galloped up to this group of warrior they apparently recognized the purport of the demand and dropped their arms on the ground. In order to assure them of our good will I called out, "How how-kola" (meaning friend), and ex tendd my hand to the chief, Lame Deer, which he grasped, and in a few seconds more I would have socured him and the others, as, although he was wild and trembling with excitement, my adju tant, George W. Baird, was doing the game with the head warrior, Iron Star. "Unfortunately just at that time one of our white couts rode up and joined the group of officers and soldiers with me. He had more enthusiasm, than dis- BUST FAIRBANK COMPANY, New York, Builim. Phllndrlpbla. cretion and, I presume, desired to insure my safety, as he drew up his rifle and covered the Indian with it. Lame Deer saw this and evidently thought the young scout was going to shoot him. I know of no other motive for his subse quent act than the belief that ho was to be killed whether he surrendered or not. As quick as thought, with one des perate, ittwerful effort, he wrenched his hand from mine, although I tried to hold it, and grasped his rifle from the ground, ran backward a few steps, rais ed his rifle lo his eye and fired. Seeing his determined face, his get jaw, wild eye and the open muzzle of his rifle, I realized my danger and instantly whirl ed my horse from him, and in this quick movement the horse slightly settled back upon his haunches. At that moment the rifle flashed within ten feet of me, tho bullet whizzed past my breast, leaving me unharmed, but unfortunately killing a brave soldier near my side. " Naturally the whole scattered band of Indians was instantly wiied out by a close and deadly lire from tho soldiers. The incident is typical of tho whole series of Indian campaigns in which General Miles figured in the last quarter of a century. The desire to treat tho redskins as fellow men, constantly thwarted by the natural suspicions of the savages themselves, is apparent all through the Iwk. ORIGIN OF "RESTAURANT." An Interesting Philological Fact From France. The French author, Maurice Cabs, re cently published in La Repnbliquo Francaise an essay about the restaurants uud eating horns of Paris, relating many interesting details. His story of how the term "restaurant" was first used is well worth repeating. For a long time inns and eating houses in France were only intended for tho benefit of traveling people, for the people took their meals at home, and restaurants were unknown. The first enterprise of the kind was founded in Paris in 1765. A citizen by the name of Boulanger opened in the Rue desPoulies an euting house where soup, meat, fowl and eggs were Berved. A chronicler relates that meals were served there on small, round, marble tables, and everything was scru pulously clean. Over the entry to this first eating house the proprietor had hung a sign, upon which were the Latin words, "Ve- uite ad me omnes quas stomacho labora tis, et ego restaurabo vos" (Come unto me all ye whose stomachs need attention, and I will restore them). This is a par ody on the well known Biblical quota tion, "Come unto me all ye M ho labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest," only in place of labor and heavy laden he said, "whose stomachs need at tention." The word "restaurabo," from the Latin "restaurare" (restore or re fresh), was the main characteristic of the new establishment and gave it its name. Boulanger amassed a largo fortune, for his enterprise proved eminently success ful, but ho was soon imituted, some of his imitators becoming more famous than he, like Borei, ut whose place 120 years ago meals could be had for 150 francs ($30) per cover. The Well Dre.ned Man. There is n certain professor in a cer tain university of the United States who once, at tbe beginning of one of his lec tures on fine arts, got ou the subject of the kind of pins worn in the neckties of young college men. He was a good lec turer and was always interesting, but this lecture was tbe most interesting of his course to the 800 boys who heard him, and the whole hour was upent on necktie pins, their uso and misuse and what they suggested. Tbe gist of what he said was that there was uo more reason why a boy should wear a horse shoe with a whip across it all in gold than that houses should have sieves for roofs, and that ns it was extremely foolish to put a big sieve on your house for a roof so it was quite as foolish to wear horseshoes on your neckties. The principle of this is that you should have a reason in what you wear as well as in other things and that senseless decora tions, like horseshoes on neckties or neckties on horaeahooa, are silly and un becoming to a self respecting person. This particular example was only one to illustrate a principle, which is that nothing unusual, queer, out of the or dinary, is in itself a good thing that, in fact, most things tbat are queer and out of the ordinary are likely, in the question cf dress, to be in bad taste. A man's dress ought to be quiet, but it must be clean and well taken care of in every instance. The best dressed man is the man who, in whatever company he fiDds himself, is inconspicuous; who, yon realize in an indefinite way, is well appointed, though you cannot well tell why.
