UNEXPECTED PROMOTION.
How a German Emperor Astonished =
Captain OF Dragons.

The German Emperor, after inspecting
the new barracks of the Second Guard Dra-
goons IN the Pioneerstrasse few days
ago, contrived, while chatting with the Of
ticers in the mess room, to write q few
words with chalk pencil upon the tunic
of the senior regimental Captain, unper-
ceived by that officer. This done, his Ma
jesty left the room, laughing heartily, ac-
oompanied by the Colonel of the regiment,
Prince Frederick Hohenzollern, whereupon
the senior staff officer present walked up to
Captain Won s., and to his utter conster-
nation, proceeded to unfastsn and remove
his epaulettes. Unconscious Of having COM
mitted any dereliction of duty, Won s. re
mained motionless while this ominous ope-
ration was being performed, but his
painful perplexity gave place to jubilaHt ex-
ultation when the Lieutenant Colonel pro-
duced pair Of Majors epaulettes, and
dextrously buttoned them to his shoulders.
The words hastily scribbled by the Empe-
ror upon Capt. Won SIS uniform were
"Zum Major befoerdert" (promoted to
Major), and the subsequent details of this
genial surprise had been arranged by his
Majesty beforehand with their executant.
1t Is said that in his rejoicing at his unex-
pected advancement, the newly-made Major
called up the senior non-commlssioned Off
Ger of his squadron, and said to him:
Sergeant MAJOR, the squadron is reliev-
ed from duty for to-day. Let the men have
all they want to drink; l will pay for all
of IL ~

The Terrible OPIUM Habit.
Iowa Gazette.


Mrs. Maud Coates, widow of the recent
suicide, was sent yesterday at the county's
expense, to her former home in Aurora, iii.
The case is a sad one, indeed, and illus
trates, only we fear in vain the terrible re-
suits Of the opium habit. A woman who
might we'll make preteDsons to fair por-
tion of beauty and grace, seemingly Of good
education and breeding, IL now ragged, and
hagpard and wretched, with filthy body and
wandering mind, hustled from county TO
county and from poor house to poor house.
The habit of eating opium first camo upon
her three or four years ago. Taking 1t at
the start 4 small doses, to relieve herself
of the real or imaginary pain caused by
sickness and trouble, she soon found that
fettered slave enjoyed the height Of free
dom compared to herself. No part Of the
day or night was life tolerable unless she
placed herself under the influence OF the
drug. Greater and greater doses were re-
auired, so that in the course of the follow
iny wears she would consume $500 worth
of opium aud morphine each year, taking
Mt a dose with the utmost impunity, snfii-
cient to kill any other persor. After
" bile her condition became such that she
was placed for six months in the asylum at
Elgin, H., where she underwent some de-
gree of betterment. and claims not to have
commenced again until recently impelled
thereto by the death of her husband, upon
which point she ia, however, contradicted. I.
BE this as it may, her situation when ia
ken from here was lamentabie in the ex-
treme: nothing could be done with her she
could not take food, obtain sleep, nor en-
durs life until first brought under the po-
tent influence Of the drug.
Let this be a warning to those IN our com
munIty, and their number In larger than
supposed, who are only too ready to drive
away even the shor test temporary pain 10y
the use OF opu m. Rather be patient, with
stand tho attack; If it hurts much. grin and
bear it., but do not put yourself in the pow
er of tyranr. only by It's insidious advan'
ces to be finally bound, overcome and utter,
ly destroyed.

A Curious Railroad.
Railway Gazette


One Of the most curious railroads in the
world is the 10-irch gauge road running
from North Billerica, Mass, to Bedford.
1t was at first hooted at by the people, but
the road was completed, making length
Of about 81 miles. There are II bridges on
the road, one of which is over 100 #. long.
The rails weigh 25 pounds to the yard. The
road is we'll built and equipped-one grade
is 1856 #. The cars and engines will at first
sight create wonder and admiration. Their
perfect proportions give them a handsome
appearance. They are constructed very
near the grosnd, giving them great advan-
tsges Of safety. The cars have an aisle
with one seat on each side, in the same
manner as ordinary cars have two seats.
The length Of the cars allows 80 seats, each
person having seat to himself. The cars
are supplied with closets, water tank, are
heaJed by steam aud have all the modern
improvements. They weigh but Al tons,
ordinary cars Weighing On an average 1S
tons. The tiains runs at the rate Of 90
miles an hour with perfect safety. The
engine is placed behind the tender, giving
it greater adhesion to the track. They
weigh eight tons, and draw tive passeng.
and two baggage cars. The cost Of the road
was about 4,500 per mile.

An 1nebriale Asylum forwo men.


A liberal subscription has been started
and $50, 900 raised already toward the con-
struction at Wilton, Conn, where good
sized farm has already been set aside for
the purpose, Of an inebrjate asylum for
women. Melancholy as tho fact setrns, it
nevertheless is fact that there is a largely
increasing class of women in this country
who not only intcxicate themselves habit
ually on opium. but a portion OF whom in
dulge in spirituous liquors also. There
have been recently q number Of distressing
cases of. exposure of ladies guilty, Of This
humiliating vice, and it is probable that
good many families of well-to-do people
have skeletons of this sort in their closets.
The proposed asylum is to meet. just such
cases as this, to furnish . respectable, Sc
cluded retreat, where a woman of good
connections and otherwise decent conduct
may have a chance to break off from the
habit which demoralizes her sex and is most
unworthy Of it. Among the subscribers to
the proposed new asylum are the President,
vice. President and all the Cabinet, and no
end of governors, judges, physicia ms. lead,
ing lawyers and professors.

Anecdotal Poetry.

Leigh Hunt is the greatest master OF an
ecdotal poetry in our language. Such po-:
ems as Jafi,r, Solomon and Mahmoud it
would DO difficult indeed to match and
that such excellence il not to be attained
without much artistic care and much self
criticism IL seen when we compare Nah
moud, as We now compare it with the origi-
nal draft, ruined by a polemic prologue, as
it appeared IN the Liberal in 1923. The
fact seems to be that Hunt had just enough
reflective power and incisiveness OF intel
lect to perceive what amount of suggestive
richness " =" there might be latent In any
given anecdote, without having that ire
sistible impulse to tease" subject into
. sermon which poet Of moro vigorous in
tsllect, like Mr.. Browning, is pretty sure to
display. II it may be said Of man that
he is too clever to tell story, how much
moro truly may tho thing b. said when the

Dante and CHANGER were. not. clever that,
