About a dozen precedents for the escape of Captain Lux from his Ger man prison can be found in the his tory of the Franco-German war, aad a large proportion of the heroes of them lived to become famous. A notable case was that of General (then colonel) Saussier, ultimately commander-in-chief of the French army, who was detained at Grandens, in the extreme east of Prussia. It is said that he put his bolster to bed in stead of himself, hid In an obscure corner of the "fortress until nightfall, and then, having obtained a dis guise by the help of his orderly, was allowed to walk out of the main prison gate. He crossed the frontier to Poland and returned to France byway of Austria and Italy. General Zurlinden was another prla oner who got out of his prison at Glogan in Silesia, on Christmas eve. He made his way in disguise through Berlin, Frankfort and Karlsruhe to Basel, a feast which was not difficult for him, as, being an Alsatian, ha spoke German quite as well aa hia Jailers. Thirdly, we may note the experi ences of M. Paul Deroulede, who es caped from Breslau, and It is piquant to recall that that vehement anti- Semite did not disdain to dlsguisa himself as a Polish Jew. He was very nearly betrayed by a peasant whom he had bribed to guide him Into Bo hemia; but he drew his knife with a ferocious gesture and the peasant changed his mind, with the result that M. Deroulede saw the final fighta of he war as a sub-lieutenant of Tar eos. KNEW HIM AND LOVED HIM Dr. Courtenay, Mutilated Veteran of the Confederate Army, at Ho Was in Tippah. Dr. Courtenay entered the Confeder ate army as a Burgeon, and after the surrender found himself without home, family, or fortune. His right coat sleeve dangled empty; the hand that had saved so many lives could not save itself. It had been amputated after Gettysburg, and the story goes that Lee himself —the name is always pronounced slowly and reverently In Tippah—had said, "I wish I could give my hand to save yours, doctor." An other loss, equally grave, but less conspicuous, was that of his left lung. It was this trouble that had brought him to Tippah's mild climate, for near ly 20 years he had lived there alone In his three-room cottage, riding out ev ery day to his little farm, five miles from town, and reading and Bmoklng far into the night His library was the wonder of Tippah. Books in five languages lined the walls of his house —all in the cheapest bindings, for the doctor was poor; but, as he used to say, it was the meat in the nut he cared for, not the shell outside. He never practiced medicine, except oc casionally among persons too poor to pay for medical advice, or, more fre quently, in serious cases when called in consultation. It was known that he had never taken a fee in Tippah. Every one believed implicitly in his skill. It was a common thing to hear it said, after a death, "Nothing could have saved him; Dr. Courtenay said so."—Lilian Kirk Hammond In the Atlantic. THREE BUILDERS OF NATIONS Cavour, William the Silent and Georgt Washington Never Yielded to . Despotic Ideal*. As a cation-maker Cavour stands ■with William the Silent and George Washington. Each of these men fought through the agony of a war of liberation, yet never yielded for a mo ment to the militarist or despotic ideals so liable to be bred in time of crisis; each loved free institutions with his whole heart; each could have said as truly as William the Silent, "I was always on the side of the people;" yet each avoided the special faults of the demagogue as completely as Well ington or Peel; each planted justice and mercy amid the chaos of wrath and revolution; each kept an heroic equanimity of temper toward all their supporters, even toward the foolish and the false who bade fair to ruin their work; finally, each died leaving as his handiwork a nation whose ev ery merit is symbolized in the life of the man who made it, whose every de fect is due to the tradition which he started being too lofty for imita tion. If Americans can boast that America is more true to the traditions of Washington than Italy is true to the traditions of Cavour, they may be sure that their country is reaping the benefit in due proportion. Measures and policies and constitutions must change with changing time, but the spirit that inspires a just policy is the same in the eighteenth, the nine teenth, and the twentieth centuries.— George Macaulay Trevelyan, in the At lantic. Special House for "High Brow" A pas. The "high brow" apes In the New York Zoological park are to have' a house to themselves in the near fu ture. The board of estimate and ap portionment will soon be asked for an appropriation necessary to cover the expenses for such a structure. At present the erudite chimpanzees and orangoutangs are in the house with their less intelligent sisters and brothers. The intelligent specimens now num ber four chimpanzees and five orang outangs. Baldy is the leader of the social elect, and Susie, recently sold to the society by Professor Garner, is another inmate who stands aloof. The proposed structure is necessary to the continued health of the valuable spec imens, as well as to give proper fa cilities for their exhibition to the public.
