Tbeir figures did aot rar 7 materially and suggested that I might be going to bnild or paint, in stead of place a sign.

A soldier who served in Cuba tells tb* Boston Globe tnat one night after a march it happened that a few of tbe boys pitched their tents in close prox imity to tbe tent of an officer of another oompany. Tbe boys were talking quite loud, as taps had not been sounded. "Hush np out there I" shouted the offloer angrily. "Who are yon?" asked one of the boys. "I'll show you who I am if I come out there I" was tbe answer. Tbe talking continued, and soon oot came tbe officer. His anger was great, and he threatened to report tbe men to their colonel, winding up with, "Don't you know enough to obey an officer?"

The pulleys are high np in the framework of tbe window and there is some little arrangement in tbe sash which fastens tbe cortla. Two handles at the ends of tbe two pieces of rope fall where they can be convenient*? ly reached. One is dark, tbe other is light. Tbe dark one is for "down," so that when the window is to be oponed one has only to pnll tbe dark handle, and down comes the window Wbou tbe window is to be closed, the light baudle is pulled, and the window sash is lifted ?Harper's Bazar A I'harmrd IMotnre.
