know how rich in ammonia is urine, and how few
there are who save il to the extent that its value

Much of the most valuable portion of the solid

large pools of this dark liquid, it running of

make all the difference between profitable and un-

A ARoMANTIc CAREER The death OF Prince
Felix Salm-Salm on the battlefield of Gravel
lottc closed u career rs adventurous almost
rs that Of any knight of romance. He was
born in 1923, of an ancient family Of Austria,
and was n brother of Prince Albert, the head
of the House who sits in the PrusSan House
of Lords. Chosing the army Us Il profession
Prince FcliN hnnnmr n lieutenant in th" Ninth
regiment of Plussian IIussars, but being nat
uraly of i rowing disposition, and wishing
to see active service he came to this country
during the war Of the rebellion, and com
manded Il regiment III one time in the
Twentieth corps. AT the end of the conflict
he was appointed Post Commander at Allan
tn. Georgia.
In 1862 Prince Salm-S Salm married in New
York the daughter Of Colonel lie Clcrcu, an
alliance which offended his high born rcla-
tivcs and caused his banishmcnt from the
Court of Vienna The princcly house of
Sam-S Salm little knew the worth Of the wom-
an whom they rejected. No wife ever show
ed Il truer devotion to her lord. 1t was only
through her untiring efforts, hoping against
hope and hcroically bearing up against every
Encouragement, that She saved him from the
fate of MaNimllan, whose fortunes he had
helped in the ill-starred experiment OF lmpc-
rialism in Mexico.
Prince Salm-Salm returned to his native land
and again cspouscd the soldiers life as u
major Of the Fourth regiment of grenadicr's
of the prussian Royal Guard. Gravclottc
was the end of it all.
The London Saturday Review declares that
no one can say the German successes have
been the result of luck. There arc several
distinct causes to which they can be clearly
traced. In the first place, they have u very
great superiority in numbers. In the next
place the generalshp of the French has been
atrocious. The Austrians, in the worst days
of the Aulic Council, We're never worse
handled Whether the fault has been entire
ly with the Emperor, or whether his marshals
were as incapable as he was is unknown;
but in one shape or other supreme incapacity
has presided over the French army, and
hurled it hopelessly on It's fate.
