Per haps, therefore, you would prefer to And another place." The cook, doubtless Imagining that financial disaster was lnqiendlng. re mained silent for a few moments, then, with the air of one about to per form a sympathetic act, replied: "Well, excellency, I am grieved at bearing such melancholy news, but 1 shall re main in your service. Whatever may buppen to you, I would not for worlds have It said I had deserted you in your lime of misery." At dinner one evening the prince told the story to the kaiser, who had had personul experience of the culinary chef's skill, and was highly amused at the prince's anecdote.

Tha rhinoceros and hip popotamus are wonderful swimmers aud divers, while the Indian elephant crosses great rivers with heavy loads. The elk and the reindeer are first class swimmer* The elk keeps his head above water and croasea directly from bank to bank to avoid turning. Tbe reindeer, on tbe other hand, turns as often as he likes, keeping his head only a little above the surface. But of all sw immers o f all climes the best, though not the swiftest, Is the polar bear, who passes half hla time In tbe water swimming and diving. Hla swimming power la nothing abort of miraculous if It Lie remembered that tbe water In tbe regions be frequents la luvarlably cold and that cold la nor mmlly prohibitive to good swimming There are bears that can swim from forty to fifty kilometers without great effort. One of the swiftest swimming anl mats is the squirrel. A sportsman on one occasion, having at band a squirrel born In captivity, which had never seen water, wanted to see If It could swim and took It with him In a row boat to the center of a lake. The squirrel turned toward the bank, bead and paws above tbe water, back and tall underneath It, aud began to swim so rapidly that it was with the great est difficulty that tbe man recovered It when It reached the shallow water near tbe land. It Is said that even many nonaquattc birds will swim like ducks If an attempt be made to drown them.—Pearson's Weekly. Tba uavel orange first appeared at Bahia.

In military reports and accounts of battles one often comes across the phrase "consolidating a position" with out knowing Just what it means. Consolidating a posltiou means to to prepare It that It will offer the maximum resistance to an attack on the part o f the enemy and tho maxi mum protection to the troopa hold Ing It. Where trenches have been captured tbe first thing to be done is to make them face tbe opposite way from that in which they have faced. This Is done by building loopholes and over head covers on the side exposed to the enemy, wbicb, of course, prior to the capture was tbe rear of tbe trench. When trenches have been partially destroyed by shell fire or mine explo sions aud then captured they have to be rebuilt facing the enemy. As no communicating trenches exist leading from the captured trench to the one the attackers came from, they have to be built connecting wltb this main position in such a way as to prevent tbe enemy from taking It lu the flank. All this work and any other which may be done to strengthen the cap- tors’ hold is meant when a report speaks of consolidating n position.— Spokane Spokesman-Review.
