A JOKE THAT FAILED.
TVied on "Stonewall"' Jackson, It Acttd
the Wrong Way.
"Major Thomas J. Jackson, later the
famous 'Stonewall' Jackson, was our
Instructor In mathematics and drilled
the students In artillery tactics," said
General Armistead, an antebellum
graduate of the Virginia Military Insti
tute. " 'Old Jack,* as the students
called him, with his worn uniform,
faded cap, usually perched at u ridicu
lous angle upon his big head, rusty old
cavalry saber and ungraceful gait, was
In appearance far from our beau Ideal
of a soldier. Nevertheless It was pos
sible even then to guess at the real
greatness of the man.
"The guns we used In our artillery
drills were pulled by hand. As the
drill would proceed our instructor
would becoiae transformed Into the
very scmbl-urc o2 XIr.rs himself as,
with form cro-t. waving sword and
flashing ore. l:c would give the com
mand 'Fire.'' in n voice that rang over
the campus like the blast of a bugle.
"One day in a spirit of mischief the
students who were drawing the gun
pretended to lose control of It as it
moved rapidly down a gentle Incline
directly toward Major Jackson. But
the commander, instead of scuttling out
of the way, as the boys had gleefully
anticipated, stood sternly erect and
Immovable right In the track of the
gun.
"I tell you there was some lively
hustling and Just In the nick of time,
too, to keep Old Jack from being run
over. That was our only attempt to
play a practical Joke at Major Jack
son's expense."—Youth's Companion.
FAMILY DINNERS.
! In England They Flourish Mainly at
Weddings and Funerals.
Family dinners are rare in England.
They flourish only at weddings and at
funerals, especially at funerals, for
mankind collected enjoys woe. But
other occasions—birthdays and Christ
mas—are shunned. Christmas especial
ly, in spite of Dickens and Mr. Ches
terton, Is not what It was, for its quon
dam victims, having fewer children
and being less bound to their aunts'
apron strings, go away to the seaside
or stay at home and hide.
That is a general change, and many
modern factors, such as travel, Inter
course with strangers, emigration, have
shown the family that there are other
places than home, until some of them
have begun to think that "east or
west, home's worst."
There is a frigidity among the rela
tions in the home, a disinclination to
call one's mother-in-law "mother." In
deed. relations-in-law are no longer rel
atives; the two families do not imme
diately after the weddlug call one an
other Kitty or Tom. The acquired
family is merely a subfamily, and of
ten the grouping resembles that of the
Montagues and the Capulets, if Romeo
and Juliet had married. Mrs. Herbert
said charmingly in "Garden Oats,"
"Our in-laws are our strained rela
tions."—YV. L. George in Harper's
Magazine.
How Centipedes Walk.
An eminent authority lias Investigat
ed the peculiar wavy motion of centl
I pedes and millepedes to determine the
manner in which these animals man
age to use their superabundant pedal
extremities so gracefully and harmo
niously. It has been found that the
legs move in groups or waves, each
wave including a definite number of
legs. The number of waves Included
in the length of the body is constant
for each species. In millepedes the
waves of each side are synchronous.
In centipedes they are symmetrically
alternate, giving rise to beautifully ac
cordant movements. The difference
may be explained by suggesting that
the mllleitede moves like a pacing
horse, the centipede like a trotter.
Branding Criminals.
The branding of criminals was abol
ished in 1778. Until then this punish
ment was inflicted in open court, gen
erally in the presence of the judge,
the necessary implements—the iron
brand, the chafing dish and tne iron
gripper for keeping the hand steady—
being always in readiness. The usual
brand was an "It" applied to the left
shoulder. Child stealing, etc., however,
were at one time puuished by branding
the offender with "It" on the shoulder
(for rogue), "M" on the right hand (for
manslayer). and "T" on the left hand
(for thief).—Pall Mall Gazette.
Perforated Stamps.
The man who invented perforated
sheets of stamps made a big fortune
out of the idea. It Is said to have first
occurred to a hunting man who wanted
to stamp a letter, but could not lay his
hand on knife or scissors. lie suddenly
bethought himself of his spur. Run
ning the rowel aloug, he perforated the
edges of the stamp, tore it off and thus
started a revolution.—London Tatler.
T ransformation.
An English farmer had a number of
guests to dinner and was about to help
them to some rabbit wheu he discov
ered that the dish was cold. Calling
the servant, he exclaimed, "Here,
Mary, take this rabbit out and 'eat It
and bring it back a little 'otterl"
C. O. D.
Tommy—Mamma had a lot of things
sent home C. O. D. today. What does
C. O. D. mean? Tommy's Pop—C. O.
D., my son, means "Call on Dad."—"
Philadelphia Record.
Another Definition.
Little Willie—Say, pa, what Is a co
| qcette? Pa—A coquette, my son, is a
girl who gets more admiration than
proposals.—Exchange.
