Soon the soldier mentioned that he |{ pad had a capital breakfast that morning. | “What was it?’’ asked the ei) peror, “Guess ' i The emperor ran over all the dishes he : could think of that were best liked among , the common soldiers, but to everything he | mentioned the invalid answered, chuc- | kling, ‘‘ Better than that.’’ At last, the ; emperor giving up the puzzle, he slapped | his knee and deciared he had taken a
' pheasant out of the imperial preserves.
| The emperor laughed sympathetically, and the subject was changed. When they had driven some time, the poor poacher, after recounting some of his experiences in bat- tle, remarked:
“You look like a military man, yourself; gre you in the army?’
The emperor said he was, and was then asked what position he held.
‘Guess,’’ said the emperor.
The soldier guessed and guessed again; he finally guessed everything from ser- geant up to marsbal, and to every guess he got the answer, *‘ Better than that.’’
Naturally, after awhile the truth began todawn on him, and the poor man was frightened nearly out of his wits, but the emperor only laughed, told him to learn discretion in making confidences to stran- gers, asked him where he wanted to go, set him down at the right door and never took any further notice of his los#of a pheasant than to make it a favorite story at court. —Exchange.
Two Great Poets Who Were Blind.
In the roll of the great poets of the past two, who hold the very highest places, were for an important period of their lives umpossessed of the power of vision— Homerand Milton. Happily these renown-
ed followers of the muses made good use of their eyes in youth; otherwise it is scarcely possible that they could have left to us the finished pictures of natural scenery and other visible objects of crea- tion which are to be found among their compositions. Homer had reached man- hood and had written a considerable por- tion of the *‘Tliad’’ before he was attacked by that disease of the eyes which robbed them of their wonted powers. But the whole of the ** Odyssey’? was composed after the occurrence of this great mishap. Milton is stated by most biographers to have permanently lost his sight in 1654 after a progressive and warning decay of several years’ duration. ‘Paradise Lost”

According to an ancient joke, one lady asked another, ‘‘Why is your father using ms cockade?’’ ‘Oh, pa’s just joined the irmy and navy stores!’’ And many peo- ple seem to think that acockade means
amount of social eminence. There is no real law upon the matter, which is simply governed by long established custom and usage.
According thereto, there are three kinds of English cockad 8 in use at the moment —the royal, the miiitary and the naval. There is no such thing as a ‘‘civil service cockade.’’ The royal cockade can be easily recognized. It is quite circular. It isin shape much like a double dahlia, and is worn so that half of itis seen above the top of the bat. It is also larger than other cockades and projects outward very much more. The military cockade is the one most usually seen. It consists of a small circular projection, from the top of which issues a fan shaped ornament. It is worn so that the fan shaped ornament projects above the top of the hat. The third shape —the naval cockade—has no fan, and is ovalin shape. Itis worn at the side, so that no part of it projects above the top of the hat. The military cockade is worn by the servants of those holding military com- iwissions—viz. officers in the army, mili- tia and volunteers and by lord lieuten- ants, cormmissioners of licutenancy, deputy lieutenants and high sheriffs. The naval cockads is worn by the servants of naval officers.
Civilians and ladies have no right at all to any cockade unless coming within the above descriptions. The black cockade of Hanover came into use in this country with tho Hanoverians, though in the days when hats were worn that required fasten- ing up at the side, the cockade was worn by the oflicers themselves. The Jacobites, in their intense objection to everything Hanoverian, started the white cockade, which was worn by the officers who took part in the Jacobite risings, but the ‘‘ white cockade’’ never had an analogous usage to the black cockade of Hanover. I% is possi- ble it may in the future, for we hear of one gentleman belonging to the Order of the White Rose who is industriously sav- ing up to start an equipage in order that in literal truth he may ‘‘mount the white cockade.

A PRACTICAL JOKE.
One You Weuld Better Try on a Smaller Man YVhan Yourself. Most people think themselves very clever if they are able to devise some catch or practical joke, but the individual who in- vented the latest trick which is catching on is @ertainly entitled to regard himeelf asa geniusin his way. This is how you proceed : Ask a friend the time, and when he takes out his watch say: “That seems a nice little ticker. Let's have a look at it.” With an air of pride he takes it off his chain and hands itto you. Justas you are about to examine it, it slips out of your hand and smashes on the floor. The glass breaks, the case comes off and the works part company. You are awfully upset about it, you are, really, and so staggered that you can do nothing but put your hands helplessly inte your jacket pockets and stammer your apologies. But you soon recover yourself, and, stooping down, you scoop up the pieces with your two hands and offer them to your friend. You might just smile gently. It rather improves the flavor of the joke. You are able at this point to sample your
| friend’s language end to get him to give
an exhibition of all his angelic qualities. Very likely he will take the opportunity of telling you what his true opinion of you bas been all along. When you have heard enough, you take his watch out of your jacket pocket and give it to him safe and sound.
For, of course, you haven't really drop- ped his watch, but a broken one which you happen to be in possession of, and which serves on more than one occasion. Ii requires a little sleight of hand, but your victim, who suspects nothing, is easily deceived.
If this joke doesn’t become popular, it will be because very few people have silver watches to play with. But there is a dan- ger, as was illustrated in the case of a jok- ist who tried this on a very hot tempered man and got such a “‘pasting’’ before be could explain the true state of affairs that he had to keep in bed for a week, where he passed. his time in trying to think out who had the best of the joke.—Pearson’s Week- ly.
MUSHROOMS.
How a Man Saved His Life by Not Eating Them,
A dish of mushrooms was served to a party of politicians in one of the leading restaurants the other night, and the re- fusal of one of the diners to partake of them because he was not expert enough to determine for himself whether they were of the edible or the poisonous variety led to a@ somewhat animated discussion in which the objector fully held his own. “In most restaurants,’’ said he, ‘‘the test applied by the cook is that of inserting a silver spoon into the vessel of boiling fungi. If the spoon turns black, the fungi are regarded as dangerous, but if it remains uncolored they are supposed to be edible. Dr. Henry G. Piffard, the mycologist, declares that this test isa fallacy. He also contends that certain markings are not sure signs in de- termining the edibility of mushrooms. The only sure method when there is any doubt is by comparison with elaborate and carefully prepared colored plates,
“‘Now I have neither the time nor the inclination to go to all that trouble, nor do I feel like taking any risk for the sake of a dish of which Iam very fond, but which is not at all necessary to my exist- ence. It may interest you to know that Dr. Piffard says that the mushroom is more like animal than vegetable matter and is consequently liable to rapid putre- faction. A great many cases of poisoning even when the mushrooms are genuine have been traced to this cause.” The rest of the poiiticians ate the mushrooms and were all right. The other man abstained, and he was all right too.—Philadelphia Press.
