O. Howard,’’ said General David S, Stanley, ‘‘was ever a religious, conscientious man, with a deep seated im- pulse to raise up and benefit the colored men. I well remember a story ahout him illustrating bis want of knowledge of the negro character as it emerged from serf- dom. After the war General Howard was the head of the freedmen’s bureau and went to Richmond, accompanied by a United States senator, who Was also inter- rsted in the great work the bureau had been designed to prepare. ‘‘At dinner time they were taken into the dining room of the hotel by the man in charge and the colored waiters were called up and introduced, said the man in charge, ‘this Is Genersxt Howard, who is doing so much for the colored men of the south. See thet he gets a good dinner quickly. Take care of him.’ **Oh, yes,’ they replied, ‘General How- ard! Weall knows ’bout him. He’s our Moses. He’s takin care of us.’ ‘‘The other tables were ocoupfe@ by un- important young officers, who, not know- ing General Howard or not standing in awe of his strong religious views, began to curse the waiters violently and abused them for not waiting on them more promptly. ‘*The outcome of it all was that the un- important young officers were waited upon and got their dinners at once. General toward did not fare well at all, and after waiiing a full hour left the dining room as hungry as when he entered it. ‘In great indignation the United States senator who accompanied the general strode up to @ group of waiters and thun- dered : ***What do you mean by treating Gen- eral Howard so?’ ‘** Why, boss,’ was the reply, ‘dem oth- er gemimmens give us a dollar apiece before dinver commenced.’ '’—Boston Herald. tétjy> ’ DOvVS, ANCIENT LITERATURE. Yrow Some of It Was Fortunately Saved From Destruction. Considering that the whole of ancient literature was cenfined to manuscript, it is wenderful that so much of it has come down to us. The preservation of some old writings has been almost miraculous. To a single cory preserved ina monastery of Westphalia, for instance, do we owe all that ~we have of Tacitus. This is the more reinatrkable since the emperor of that name had copies of the works of his dis- tinguished ancestor placed in all the im- perial libraries and caused ten copies of them to be transcribed yearly. Still, only the one covy has been found in modern times. A page of the second deeade of Livy, we are told, was discovered by a man of let- ters on a battledoor while be was amusing himself in the country. He rushed up to town, but he was too late, for the battle- doer maker ‘‘had used up all his parch- nnent the week before.’’ ‘Two manuscripts ef Cicero on ‘‘Glory’’ were presented to Petrarch, who lent them to an old precep- tor. This latter gentleman, being pressed by want, pawned them and died without revealing the name of the pawnbroker, Two centuries afterward they were men- tioned in a catalogue of books bequeathed to a convent, but could not be found. It is supposed that Petrus Aleyonius, the physician to the institution, appropriated them, and having transposed some of the thoughts to his own writings destroyed the originals. The original Magna Charta of England, preserved in the Cottonian library, has certain mutilations, presumably from a pair of shears. It is said that Sir Richard Cotton, calling one day at his tailor's, discovered that that man was holding in his hand, ready to cut up fora pattern, a copy of the great Magna Charta, with all its appendages and seals.—San Francisco Chenicle. Precipices In the Himalayas. There js one remarkable peculiarity of the series of Himalayan ranges between the vale of Kashmirand the central Asian watershed. They are one after another cut right across by ridges. The reason for this is that the rivers were there before the ranges were formed, and as, by the erinkling of the earth’s crust the ranges wore raised, the rivers cut gorges through them and maintained their fiow. Nanga Parbat is part of the true and principal Himalayan range, and its sum- mit rises to the stupendous altitude above sea level of 26,630 feet. Close to its foot, not more than ten miles in horizontal dis- tance from the peak, the Indus flows through a desert gorge, and here the height above sea level of the river bed is not much above 3,000 feet. It is easy to conceive from these figures on how vast a scale nature’s architecture is bere set up. I have never been down this part of the Indus gorge, but a friend of mine who was there told me that the path along the side of the gorge is in places perilously narrow and carried across preci- pices of such appalling character that at one point a servant of his who lest his footing fell a mile in vertical height and was, of course, smashed to atoma. One side of Nanga Parbat sinks to this gorge by a series of ridges and ravines— that is, the Chilas side. The other two sides of the mountain, for it is on a trian- gular base, are likewise defined by long valleys, ene of which is filled by the great Tarshing glacier.—North American Be- view. QQ ?

Ventilation, Have we ever stopped to think how out ancestors, two or three generations back, lived and flourished with litle or no ven- tilation in their sleeping apartments? ‘The night air used to be considered a very dreadful menace to health and a sure in- ducer to colds. Bedrooms were kept close- ly shut, and yet our ancestors, wany ot them, were hardier than we, and lived te good old ages, Animals burrow into their holes at night, breathing the same air over and over ngain, while birds and fowls tuck their heads under their wings, Of course, ventilation is absolutely neces- sary for proper comfort, cleanliness and health, but people have lived on little or pone of it for hundreds and thousands of gears. —New York Tribune.
