7 RUE BRITISH COURAGE.
The days of the heroes have not
passed by. There is more devotion in
the world now than there was in the
so-called heroic ages. The British sol-
diers who swept across the field of
Albuera were the equals of the Greeks
who conquered at Marathon. The
British soldiers who stood silent in
their ranks on board the, Birkenhead
when she went down met death as
heroically and uncomplainingly as any
whoA have ever lived and died. The
"t`lamed demigods" of the light bri-
gade who charged an army in position
at 'Balaclava, were the equals of
Leonidas and his three hundred who
made Thermopylae immortal. Hun-
dreds of such acts of heroism are re-
corded in modern history. Their
very frequency makes them only the
topic of an hour. We have even for-
gotten the name of the Canadian
wheelman on Lake Erie who stood to
his helm and steered the burning
vessel ashore, so that the passengers
escaped while he slowly burned to
death. More courage is required for
such an act of devotion than that need-
ed by the soldier who, underthe in-
spiration of battle, rushes up to the'
cannon's mouth.
For splendid heroism in death noth-
ing finer has come 'down to us than
the account of the cavalry men who
were slaughtered by Lobengula's
troops iu the Matabele war. And few
epics are grander than the story of
that event its told by Machashn, the
Officer who led the attack. He said
I, itiachasa, induna of the Insuka
regiment, tell you these things. We
were 6,000 men against your thirty-
four * " " !hey rode into the track
and linked their horses in a ring and
commenced a heavy fire upon es and
our men fell fast and thick. We open-
ed a fire upon them and killed all their
horses. Then they took to cover be -
,hind their horses bodies and killed us
just like grass. We tried to rush them.
.: twice we tried but failed. After a
:time they did not fire so much and we
r.tllought their ammunition was getting
short. Then, just as we were preparing
to rush again, they all stood up. They
took off their hats and sang. We were
so amazed to see men singing in the
face of death we knew not what to-do.
At last we rushed. You white men
don't fight like men but like devils.
They shot us until the last cartridge,
and most of them shot themselves with
• that. But those who had none left
just covered up their eyes and died
,without a sound.' Child of a white
man, your people know how to fight
` and how to. die. We killed all. the
thirty-four. But they killed us like
.'- grass,
How one would like to know what
song these men sang when they knew
that it was their death song. Most
likely some devotional hymn that was a
yer to God. Or it might have been
ender song of love and home -
me, Sweet Horne, or Annie Laurie,
avourneen Deelish. But at any
they sang. The indomitable spirit
if the English race makes men sing
in the'moment when death is sweeping
down upon them to whirl them into
eternity.
Otte" of the most amazing cases of
foolhardiness ever heard of is reported
Berlin.
tom Two children belongin
Jost%ph Oroski, one a boy of eight
itnd the other a girl of six, were play-
•ing in the woodshed at their home
dear the Ward school, when the boy
put his right hand on the wood chopp-
ing block and told the girl to chop off
his fingers to see what they would look
t . like. The girl got the axe and readily
i illnplied and the first and second
fingers were severed from the hand.
Whelg the wounded hand was dressed
tite',little fellow did not even wince,
ftyyn,d, appeared not to mind the pain.
What induced the boy to have his
fingers chopped off merely for curiosity
;is a conundrum.

The postal card • had a birthday not
long ago. Its 25th anniversary was
celebrated at Vienna. Dr. Emanuel
Herman, an Austrian, first invented the
c.u'd. It was used first in Austria, Hun-
gary. Ll 1873 it was used in Germany
and in 1830 it was adopted by the biter -
national Postal Uuiou. In regard to its
use here are some interesting figures :
In Austria 100,000,000 are in use every
year ; in English postoffices, 250,000,-
000, and in the whole world about 1,000,-
000,000,

average percentage for the sante period
has been 1 87, 1.68, .76 and .46 respec-
tively to every 10,000 of .population. In
the Austrian army there ie an average
of 12.53 suicides to every 10,000 men ;
in Germany, 6.33 ; Italy, 4; Frauce,
8.33, and Euglaud, 2 09.
Apropres of the canonization of Jean
of Arc by the cliuroir ofllome comes the
canonization of a Mr. Collins by a
church of colored Episcopalians in South
Carolina, The ciscuinstances which led
to this rather remarkable result was the
donation by Mr. Collins of a house of
worship to the congregation. Thereupon
the church, was called St. Collins'
Church in grateful recognition of the
generosity of the donor. It is the first
example on record of the elevatic n of a
living American to the sainthood.
Returns just made to parliament of
accidents to railway employes in Great
Britain show that the perceutage of ac-
cidents in proportion to the number of
persons employed steadily decrease],
with one slight exception, from the year
1873 to 1888, but there was an increase
again during 1839, 1890 and 1891, and
again a decrease in 1892. During 1892
there was 381,626 persons employed on
the principal railroads of Great Britain,
and in the course of the year 534 of
these were !tilled and 2915 injured, a
proportion of one killed in 714 and one
injured in 180. In 1873 the proportion
of killed to employed on all the railroads
of the United Kingdom was one in 855,
in 1877 one in 427, in 1887 one in 371,and
in 1891 one in 695.
Strangers in Cnina have the greatest
difficulty when meeting a funeral or
wedding procession on the street to dis-
tinguish oue from the other. The same
red cloth coolies, carrying roasted pig
and other dainties, appear in the pro-
cession, the same smahltv coolies carry-
ing cheap paper ornaments, and the
same noisy turnout. And all this when
some old person is being carried to his
last resting place, ns when the youngest
and most beautiful of celestial maidens
is being carried to the new home pre-
pared by her husband. The crowd fat
the funeral is as noisy as at a wedding
and the guests eat just as much. The
only difference, indeed, between the two
is that in the enter of one the bride is
carried in an inclosed sedan chair, borne
on the shoulders of some men, and fol-
lowed by her bridesmai.s. In that of
the other the coffin is carried rind the
mourners follow. Indeed, an English
writer says that no event in the life of as
Chinaman is half so important as his
funeral.

'This is the time of year when the
average member of the fair sex suffers
from a species of fever known as
"house-cleaning." The symptoms usu-
ally consist of the doingup of the hair
in a linen duster, and te introduction
of a plan whereby the head of the
house is made to eat canned salmon off
an upturned biscuit box for his dinner.
Coupled with this the bedroom cur-
tains are allowed to fly out of the up-
stairs windows, and there is a wild
desire to waltz all the furniture on to
the front verandah. At such a period,
the average lord of creation is made to
feel that he is one of the biggest
mistakes that nature ever perpetrated,
and he is looked on with scorn unless
he is prepared to carry the piano under
one atm, and a stove miler the other,
while he playfully balances one or two
other articles on his head, When he
fails to accomplish a few little feats of
that description, he usually gets the
hint that he is only in the way, and
that he had better go into the back
yard and snake a bonfire of the rubbish.
