How to Tell a Gentleman.

You should never Judge by appearances. The
other day a little, weazenfaced man, wearing a
So so suit of clothes, went to one of the big
hotels and registered himself from Texas, asked
for a room, and if breakfast was on the table.
The Olympian clerk gazed at him scornfully
for a moment and I~anguidly remarked:
Amy baggage?"
mo- replied the guest.
I" In that case, said the clerk, 'sthe rules of
the house compel me to insist on payment in
advance
Every we'll, T." said the guest, without hesitat-
ing or appearing offended; "take two days board
out of this" and from a wad of greenbacks as
big as his arm he produced a one hundred dollar
note.
81 beg your pardon - said the abashed clerk;
g but we are so often taken in, and your face not
being familiar to me, L"
"No offence" cheerily responded the guest;
business is business, and rules are rules. 1t
does look a little odd to be without baggage, but
US cattle dealers amt much on style. and
That's all right, Colonel - said the clerk.
"Put up your money; we know a gentleman
l46. Call for the best in the house, Colonel"
The old man slowed away an ample break
fast; got the clerk to give him small bills for
the fifty; asked where Billy Coolbaugh, the BAN
ker, had his office; inquired when they had
dinner; desired the clerk to tell Mr.. Farwell,
if be called, that he would be back at two
O'Clock, then went, and hasn't been seen since.
The clerk subsequently discovered that the $50
bill was bad, and the sad event has cast n
gloom over the hotel Office Chicago Times.

Loss of Life in War.

Some valuable information respecting the effect
Of modern weapons, as indicated by the war of
1870-71, when for the first time in Europe a
breech-loader was opposed to a breech-loader, are
supplied in a brochure by G. Fischer, |" Rech-
nungs-Rath um Justiz Ministerium."
During the year of 1901 the number of
German troops injured in action, it appears
from this pamphlet was: Officers 1898, and
men, "a 1900. OF these 179 officers and 1867
men were killed on the spot. In addition, 495
officers and 4 ,lS0 men eventually died of their
wounds. The proportion of deaths to wounded
among the officers was 29.4 to 70.6-that is,
roughly speaking. cut of every 100 officers wound
ed 80 died on the spot or eventually and 20 re-
covered. Among the men, out of every 100
wounded 20 died sooner or later from the effect
of their injuries and 80 recovered. The percent
age of those who were returned as severely
wounded. slightly wounded and simply wounded,
was-for officers, 31.42.4, and 7.S; for the men,
28.9, "a and us respectively of the total num-
Der injured. No greater proof can be offered of
the devotion with which all ranks exposed them
selves to danger than the table which shows the
number in each grade kill or wounded. Adding
the staff to the regimental officers, and bearing
in mind that after the first action vacancies in
the higher ranks untitled, we find that the
percentage in all grades of killed and wounded
was almost the same. Leaving out of considera-
ton the fahureichs, vice feld-webels, doctors,
etc., and classifying the others as Generals, Col
onels, inferior field oficerss Captains, subalterns.
we find that of killed and wounded there were Is
Generals, 63 Colonels, 200 inferior field officers,
673 Captains. and 2 1862 subalterns. We observe
that of the doctors, the chaplains, etc., IA were
killed and wounded.

SALT AS A FERTILIzER.-A very considerable
demand for salt, to be used as a fertilizer, has
salt, or tAat of an inferior quality, is as efficient
as any, and comes cheaper. 1t is applied as at
the rate of one to three bushels per acre upon
barley, wheat and oats. One bushel of salt is
good for three or four bushels of grain. The
best results were formerly realized when salt was
sown on barley, the production being increased
several bushels. If sown pretty freely, say three
or four bushels per acre, the benefits are visible
for several seasons. The experiments of S.M.
Brown several years ago showed that the applica-
ton of salt on Winter wheat was obviously adj
vantageous. The effect seemed to be in the stiff
fleming of the straw, by which its falling down
and rusting, thus shrinking the berry, was pre-
ented.-TCountry Gentleman.

The Centennial Liar.

Old Mrs Robertson, who had been 10 the Cen
tenniaI, struck in on Pittingill last week with a
talk about that exhibition Of national prosperity.
She told him oil about what she had seen, and
then what each enc of her party had seen. After
asking about the butter woman and 4 hundred
wonderful things that Pettingill had to say he
didn't see, the old lady asked with much interest:
Well, what did you see?'
L saw said Mr.. Pettingil, looking ct her
i~ntently, 4 saw an iee-cream horse, life size,
g~alloping around the track
'Oh. Mr.. Pettingill, said the old lady.
Yes, MADAM, you may well say oh. It was
wonderful that you didn't see it, but then they
look it back to freeze it hard every FIVE
minutes, so you may have missed it.
.Oh, Mr.. PettingillH
Yes, madam, and l saw the lard eagle of
which you have spoken. and heard il screams
talked to death about the centennial. As | left
the grounds, Friday evening, it scared up and
flew off to Cincinnati.
oh, Mr.. PettingilE'
Yes, madam, and l saw the carriage George
Washington rode in, and three queens and a jack
that he showed under the seat when he sat out
side of the church playing draw poker, and Mrs.
Washington lighted in on him earlier than he
expected from a short sermon, and / saw q hand
full of his hair that Mrs. W. took out that
identical Sabbath morning.
oh h-h, Mr.. Pettingill.'
Yes, madam, and / saw the quilt worked by
Queen Victory and the Princess Beatrice, and
all the other princesses, and l counted the nine
teen billion, four hundred and sixty FIVE stitches
in it, while ] was standing there
'Oh, Mr.. Pettiugill.'
Yes, madam, and | saw the silk-making
machine, where you put in a silk worm at one
end and it comes out at the other a full blown
silk dress ready made, with a live humming bird
in the back
'Oh, Mr.. Pettingill, wait till l 60 and call
Emily to come in and hear all about it. and
the old lady hurried out.
Il won't be here when she comes back, said
Mr.. Pettingill, taking up his hat in a hurry,
and SO she may not hear all about it. l am
determined when l am talking about this CEN
tennial business TO tell the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing but the truth, SO help me

A PATHETIC PIcTURE.-George William Curtis
every one could wish were less true to nature:
81 think of many a sad eyed woman who seems
to have never smiled, who struggled with hard
hands, through melting heat and pinching cold,
to hold at bay poverty and want, that lowered
like wolves about an eyer-increasing flock of
children. How it was scour in the morning,
scrub at night, and scold all day long How
care blurred windows like a cloud hiding q lovely
landscape! How anxiety snarled at her heels,
dogging her like a cur How little she knew,
or cared, that bobolinks, drunk with blithe idle
ness, tumbled and sung in the meadows below,
that the earth was telling the time of the year
with flowers in the woods above. As | think of
these things 1 do not wonder that madhouses are
kept full of unfortunate beings

The police items of the different cities fire.
guently crop out in matter which would supply
ample material for novels and life-pictures of
interest, and Astounding with lessons of in
struction. The arrest of one Ann Casey, alias
Mag Porer, alias French Mag, in Memphis the
other day, resulted in the discovery that this
female of the many names was a negro Of the
male persuasion, by name Johnny Despair, who
had at one time been a slave; who spoke several
languages; who had Travelled through the entire
Southwest; had served as ebambermaid an board
a river steamboat, and as female nurse in a
hospital; had been arrested several times for
various misdemeanors, and, singularly enough,
had narrowly escaped one term of imprisonment.
HIS masqueradlng tendencies will, however, now
be at least temporarily checked, as he has been
remanded to his proper dress and the county
prison for a considerable term.

According to an article in BlGcbtrood for april
on the reconstruction of the French army, France
is now allie TO defend herself against Germany,
but is not yet strong enough to attack her. The
French army, says the writer, is now l 300. 900
strong, and can be increased to nearly 1000, 600.
Yet the Alsace-Lorrain fortresses alone will keep
the French at home for years.
