What Germany did with the Money.

Ten years having elapsed since peace
was definitely concluded between France
and Germany, the imperial chancery has
submitted to the federal council of the
German empire final report upon the
manner in which the French war indem-
nifty has been disposed of The total
sum exacted from France by her con-
querors, RS the price of peace, amounted,
as will be remembered, to considerably
more than f26O. 900, 900, every penny OF
which had been expended, distributed to
the several German states, or invested
in newly-created imperial institutions by
its official administrators before the con-
clusion of the financial year 1878. II
would appear from the report in ques.
tion that nearly the whole of this vast
treasure-above fourfold the national
debt of Prussia-has been devoted tc
purposes directly or Indirectly connected
with the development of Germany''
military defenses. The imperial shar,
of the indemnity is set down at f5l 800,
600, $4,000, 900 of which, in coin gold
lie deposited in the Julius Tower, a
Spandau, and constitute fund where
with the preliminary expenses of Ger
many's next war may be paid in hare
cash. Other EOS, 200, 900 have been EN-
ployed in founding the imperial militar!
invalid fund, while the remaining Ell,
100000 odd was spent in Strengthening
the defenses of Elsass-Lothringen and il
remedying the damage done to propert
in those provinces during the war c
1901. The balance of the indemnity
between f16O, OOc, 900, and f17O, 900, OO(
was divided in exact proportion to tn
respective numbers of their several poI
ulations, among the German state
which had participated in the Franco
German struggle.

with canvas. The steamer had carrying
capacity of 1900, but Monday being a
dull day she only had about $50, who
were generally gentlemen farmers of
Long Island, and bankers, business and
literary men who live on Long Island
and go to New York in the morning, re-
turning in the afternoon. No regular
company managed the boat, but it is said
she was run in the interests of four own
ers, whose names are c. A. Dana, editor
of the N. Y. Sun, S. L. NJ. Barlow, M.
Ruff, of Glen Cove, and Mr.. Endee, of
Great Neck. The owners had special
rooms on the steamer, and Mr.. Dana and
Mr.. Barlow were on board at the time of
the accident.

Mr.. Pigweed's Adventure.

Mr.. Pigweed has had terrible time of
it. He resolved to set a pistol in his
safe, before leaving home for the sum-
mer, so that when anybody opened the
door of the receptacle the pistol would be
discharged. However, it puzzled him a
good deal to find way to set the pistol
with the door shut; and if he set it with
the door open there was no way to make
the thing go off when the door should be
opened again. So he finally set up the
pistol inside the safe and cooked it, and
then, putting his hand inside closed the
door all but a crack, just sufficient to ad-
nit his wrist. Then he fixed loop from
the door to the pistol trigger, so that
when the door was opened any wider the
pistol would be discharged. Then he
attempted to draw out his hand, but
found that while he had left the door
sufficiently open to accommodate his
wrist, it wouldn't let out his hand with
out being opened wider, and that would
discharge the pistol into his stomach.
There was nothing to do but to take off
the loop and put on little longer one;
and, when he attempted to do that, he
found that though he had been able to
attach the loop, he couldn't reach quite
far enough to detach it again. Then the
awfulness of his position came upon him.
He was imprisoned, and could only re-
lease himself at the price of shot in the
stomach He began to scream wildly for
help, and at last help came; and the first
man who came was about to yank the
door open before Pigweed could stop
him, and it gave the victims nerves a
terrible shock. Finally they got smiths
and tools and went to work to get in at
the back of the safe and remove the
pistol; and they had to work very care
fully SO as not to explode the pistol by
the jar. 1t was an all-day job; but fin
ally, after Pigweed had nearly died OF
exhaustion, and his hair had began to
turn gray from fright, they got at the
pistol and found that when he put 1t In,
Pigweed had forgotten to load it, SO
he might have yanked his hand away at
any time. And, though Pigweed was
terribly fatigued he aroused himself
sufficiently to show he had not forgot.

no business of mine," and he turned to
go up the beach again.
Help! helpm came from the water.
The sister heard it, and ran out of the
clearinghouse, followed by the servant.
They screamed, too, for help; but no
hel was at hand. The pretty sunny
head came in sight once more, and was
gone. The women wrung their hands in
agony. Pedro could not stand it; he
turned, plunged down he beach, in
Through the surf, out on the rising and
falling waves, battling them furiously as
he swan.
Now there are two heads side by side
"A black, shaggy head, sunny head
and a pale face. There is no cry now /;
the poor little blanched lips are too weak
for that. Pedro gives little moan of
desperation, seizes the bathing-jacket by
the neck, and turns. Will he have
strength to get this heavy weight to the
shoreP He feels his strength is going
fast. The father has heard the cry of his
daughter, and is flying to the beach.
Bitten has walked, and stands staring,
wondering what it all means.
One wave nearer shore, now on the
crest of another, now in the surf, now
now on the white beach! Pedro drags
the boy up on the sand, and lies down
beside him. He is almost exhausted
They don't drive him away now. Per-
haps they hardly notice him in this
awful moment. They are working over
the boy. Oh, the blanched face of The
father, and the fearful face of the sister
The servant has run for blankets. They
are rubbing the child and trying to de-
tect some signs of life.
Now the mother comes. She sees her
boy lying there stiff and pale, and gives
quick cry of pain, and then stoops
over him and puts her hand anxiously
on his heart. Yes-yes-it beats, but
so feebly! In a minute it may stop
She clasps the little hands and prays-

BUYING AND SELLING BUTTER

"Here comes Mr.. Robby. from Sleepy
Hollow, with load of butter; we're
short, aren't we, Jones ?"
g Yes, all gone but the bad lot.
and they are crying for something
good"
Robby (from his wagon)-" Mr..
Nipper, I've got some butter for
ye."
Nipper is busy and does not hear
him.
"Hello, there, Nipper! Come and see
this butter"
Nipper slowly closes his order book
directs the delivery boy TO hop round
with the Goldfish, shifts yellow ham
near the door from one peg to the
other, cocks his stovepipe hat on his
head, thrusts his thumbs in each arm
hole of bis vest and shuffles slowly to-
ward the street, as though about to
squiat at the state of the weather.
Why, Robby, what have ye got
thersf'
Butter, Mr.. Nipper."
Clutter, oh? Now if you had eggs
might buy. Buffers dull, Robby; the
towns full of butter"
'Is that SO? Daisy heard as it had
gone up"
"Gone up well, yes gone up
the spout. Dick, take them turnips
too kichfinger," he said turning
away. i~
won't ye look at this lot, Mr.. Nip
peri"
"Robby, we're full. Jones was just
saying he couldn't store another tub.
The towns glutted-glutted, Robby;
and heaps Of it spelling In New York,
and no buyers"
"But this is an extra fine lot from
the best feed Of the pasture with the
spring brook in it, whore ye used to
catch trout, Mr.. Nipper and Daisy
made it with her own hands,"
"Yes, yes, but it looks salvy like
worked too much-no texture, you see
and full Of milk; won't keep, Robby,
won't keep. Then it lacks the gilt
edged flavor. What do you ask for
it?"
"Wsll Daisy thought as how she
orter have fifteen cents"
"roo high can't buy ; good morn
ing"
''see here. Nipper, what'll ye givsp"
"Robby, If give yer ten cents for
that butter Jones will be mad as
boiled lobster-Jones will swear and
make things lively. But you're an old
friend, and Pm going to do it and take
the consequences"
MR.. NIPPER SELLING BUTTER.
"Richfinger, come this way can
show you an awful nice lot of butter /;
there it is. That's what l call elegant;
made by Daisy Buttercup, the neatest
and prettiest girl in the country. 1
used to spark her mother before she
married. She's dead, now old friends,
ye see, and can't help dealin'. Look
at the color-there's dandel'on and
buttereups look at the texture-as
free from salve as snowflakes, and if
ye find hair or bug I'll make ye q

you can sent the clover blossoms.

"What is the price, Nlpper -

mer."
"Pretty high, isn't it ?"
"That depends on what ye're buy
ing. Grease is grease, an butter is
butter. If ye want grease, 1 can sell
it for less but if ye want to lay in the

as it were, June butter that'll keep,
