The tall man doubled up for an In itunt, but he did not get mad. Instead of saying harsh and profane things to the man who had thus buffeted him he said: "Uold your head up." Then he strode on. The man who received this piece of advice did not for a moment or two realize what had been said. Be stood still, and when it dawned upon him that a perfect stranger had volunteered a rule of conduct to be followed on B stormy day he turned with a frown and a retort on his lips.

Some time ago, writes a volunteer In the London Telegraph, I spent a week with a garrison battery in a south coast fort. On the last day the sergeants sat down to an exceptionally fine dinner. the crowning glory of which waa a large plum pudding. I had made the pudding two days before, had it boiled, and now, reheated, It made Its appear ance, amid the welcome shouts of my brother warriors, and I naturally felt a bit nroud of it, for I hadn't been a shin's cook for nothing. "Seems mighty hard," remarked the sergeant major, as he vainly tried to stick his fork Into it. "Have you oouea us a cannon ball, Browneyr "Or the regimental football?" asked another. "Where did you get the flour from?" questioned Sergt. Smitn. "Where fromr I retorted. "From store No. 6. of course." "The deuce you did!" roared the quartermaster sergeant. "Then, hang you, you've made the pudding - with Portland cement." And so It proved.

"Bobbins" the Ballets, The right ot a man in uniform to dodge a shell If he has a chance Is discussed by a writer in the St. James' Budget in thlsjswiset Ought one to bob when a bullet is presumably com inar for one's head? As far as a non- combatant can judge, I Bhouldsay that not to bob. on certain occasions would be extreme folly. A cool man might bob on certain occasions, but I should not expeat that ha would "cut and run" any more than the man who had hie head blown off by a bit of a shell for not bobbing, which sounds Irish. Gen. Gordon himself says in his Jour nal I "For my part, I think judlolous bobbing is not a fault, for I remem ber on two occasions seeing shells be fore my eyes which aertainly, had 1 not bobbed, would have taken off my head." Bo aavs that in the Crimea it was considered mean to bob, and thev used to try to avoid It. One of his follow-offlcers used to tors "It Is all welt for you, but I'm a family man." And he used to bob at every re port. nave von, BeenSlcttr Perhaps you have ha grippe or a hard cold.
