Sunstruck Soldiers.

During the seven years. war, when
Frederick the Great was marching from
Marienstern upon Bautzen, no fewer
than 300 men died on one day-the 9th of
August, l76O-from sunstroke. On the
2lst of May, 1927, while the Guard Corps
was maneuvering between Berlin and
Potsdam, the men, exhausted by the
heat, "fell down in masses" on the road,
and the whole force became mere rab-
bic, some struggling on in vain attempts
to keep their places in the ranks, Others
lying down and dying by the wayside.
On the 9th of July, 1853, at the conclu-
sion of some maneuvers in the camp of
Beyerloo, two battalions were ordered to
march to the adjacent station of Hasselt
to proceed by special train to Brussels :;
but before the former place could be
reached so many men had died from sun
stroke, or had fallen down exhausted by
the heat, that of the 600 men originally
comprised in the two battalions $50 only
arrived Mt Brussels. In the following
year n column of Prussian troops suffered
in a similar manner, and during one of
the marches of the French army in the
Dobrudscha an equally great mortality
ensued. In the campaign of 1866 the
troops suffered very little from the heat,
and in the war of 1901 there were
comparatively few cases of sunstroke.

Life In Switzerland.

Oberhofen is a favorable specimen Of
Bernese life, partly owing to its neigh
borhood to Thun. and to the many gen.
tlemen's campagnes scattered about, to
say nothing of the expenditures Of the
pensions, but perhaps chiefly to its fay-
orable position on the northern slopes of
the lovely lake, fronting few points
west of south, and thereby favorably
situated for vine growing. There is, ac-
cordingly, large acreage laid out in
vineyards (Which promise this year all
abundant crop, and though the wine
made here is said to be very poor itself,
it is used for mixing, and vineyards
yield in fair years & per cent. Whether
the dreaded phylloxera, which has al
ready made great havoc in some parts of
Switzerland, will reach this part of the
country, remains yet to be seen, says a
correspondent of the London Spectator.
The people are not only, like most of
their countrymen, hard-featured, but
seldom really healthy looking; and pub
lie attention has recently been directed
to the increasing number of young men
from Canton Berne who are found physi-
cally unfit for military service. 1t is
said that the chief cause of this is the
virtually total Withholding of milk from
the children after they are weaned, in
order that it may be all sent to the cheese
diaries, and their being brought up al
most exclusively on potatoes, with too
often q zest of potato brandy, said to be
itself nearly as poisonous as absinthe. l
have even been informed that when,
two or three years ago, owing to the
failure of the potato crop on the other
of the lake, distress amounting almost
to famine prevailed, and q subscription
was got up to provide the school chill
dren, through their schoolmasters, with
draught of milk at school; it proved so
unwonted diet that they could not d.
gest it. Our own laborers, no doubt, of
ten do not get nearly enough for their
children of that precious element of nu-
triton, but I doubt if the absence of it
from their dietary is so complete as it is
with the Swiss children. The almost en-
tire dependence of the Bernese upon ag-
riculture beyond some wood-carving,
in which itself they complain of being
cut out by foreigners), it is said to be the
main cause of this state of things.

Our Sister.

Perhaps there is no possession in life
like that of sister-a sort of second
self, to whom one may say ones say,
confident that it will be as secure as if
unsaid; from whom one may hear
homely truths, with the certainty that
they are not dictated by petty spite or
jealousy; from whom one may receive
compliments, assured that they are sin
cere expressions of opinion, and not the
thoughtless adulation of those who ex-
pect to be repaid in the same coin with
interest. A person destitute of sisters is
almost as much alone in the world as
the Wandering Jew; her father and
mother may be models of their kind, but
they are not her contemporaries, so to
speak-not of her generation; she has
not played doll with them. She may
adopt q cousin OF friend to fill the va
cant niche, but no friendship or cousinly
feeling is ample enough. Our friends and
cousins are apt to talk us over with each
other; they are not always charitable to
our little faults; our shortcomings are
not pieced out by any skill of theirs we
are not at the mercy of their moods and
lenses, and our idiosyncrasies are at the
mercy of their sense of humor; but a
sister is bulwark between us and "the
arrows of outrageous fortune She
makes our troubles her own; whatever
hurts us wounds her; she abets and en-
courages us; extenuates our faults, pub
fishes our virtues. In every family of
sisters there is one brighter than the
rest, who gilds the ignorance and lack of
brilliancy of the others; one prettier
than the rest, for whose sake the others
receive attention; one stronger than the
rest, upon whom they lean, and thus
they bolster and shield each other

Blowing up Railroad Trains.

There seems to be no reasonable way
of accounting for the attempt to blow
up train with dynamite on the London
& Northwestern railway in England.
About thirty large cartridges of this ex-
plosive were placed near the track,
within q few inches of the outer rail,
with which the package containing them
was connected by an india-rubber tube
filled with gunpowder, and ON the end
of the latter was put percussion cap.
The idea seemed to be that the cap
would be exploded by the train, which
would light the gunpowder, which, in
turn, would light and explode the dyna-
mite This indicated q very imperfect
knowledge of the properties of dyna-
mite on the part of the person who pre-
pared this trap, for the effect would
have been much more certain and equal
ly disastrous if the dynamite had been
placed on the rails, for it explodes by
percussion The ignorance of this fact
must have saved the lives of a number
of people. 1t is impossible to say how
long the dynamite had been near the
track before it was discovered but it is
pretty certain that several trains had
passed over the line. The cap was
crushed, but for some reason failed to
explode, which, of course, disarranged
the entire plan.

Tidings Of Sir John Franklin,

Lieut.. Schwatka's discovery in King
William Land of paper buried beneath
u cairn erected by the Capt. McClintock
search party more than twenty years ago,
has strange interest. 1t is n copy of
the record kept by Capt. Crozier when
retreating with the crews of the Erebus
and Terror, and from which McClintock
obtained exact information of the death
of Franklin. The discovery Of the cairn
erected by Capt. Hall over the bones of
two of Franklin's men, and of various
articles belonging to the Franklin cxPe-
dition, OF to those who searched for
traces of the lost explorers, must have
been a great satisfaction to Lieut..
Schwatka and his comrades after their
long search. The chief reward of their
daring expedition is clearly the final set
Element of the question of the existence
of Franklin's scientific record. All val
liable papers left on board the Erebus
and Terror, or taken by the expedition
when the ships were deserted, have I'M
dubtedlyEperished.

Girls Thirty Years Ago.

Thirty years ago, if you entered the
parlor OF a cultivated family, you saw
new books and new periodicals every
where, while now, in families of the
same kind, you miss the books and
magazines, but find china plates on the
walls, and all sorts of knicknacks scat
tered about. The taste for such things,
on the whole, is to be commended, as it
is for anything that helps to refine the
mind. But when that taste is INDUCED
in at the expense of a higher and better
taste, then there is a wrong departure,
then a great mistake is being committed.
Now, can there be any doubt that taste
for reading is more desirable than taste
for bric-a-brac A young girl, who
knows books, is surely more charming
than one who knows only china. There
may be sentimentality in being too much
given to quoting poetry, but certainly
any young man of refinement and educa-
ton would rather hear young lady talk
of Tennyson, or ongfellow, than of "old
blue" The brightest girls are those
who know the mos, that is, if they
know also how TO use their knowledge
Books, periodicals and literary news
papers are better, by far, than even
Sevres or Dresden vases, or at least they
represent higher type of cultivation.

A discussion has arisen in France as
to the costume worn by Charlotte Cor
day when she stabbed Marat, and some
modern ladies have proclaimed her con-
duct shocking-not in committing a muir
der, but in killing a man in his bath
Modern modesty need not be shocked.
In the latter days of the old French mon
archy, ladies frequently received visitors
while enjoying a bath. But there was no
improperly. They wore bathing gowns
Of the finest lawn, trimmed with Valen-
ciennes; and the water in the bath was
made opaque by the addition of bottle
of essence, or of a jug of milk. But for
the name of the thing, they were more
decently clad in the bath than in the ball
room.

n grain crop is, however, very COM
mon one. Concerning the desirability
of this general custom there exists n wide
diversity of opinion. Some cultivators
contend that clover sown in the spring
with grain succeeds better than that
which is sown alone, because the grain
grows quickly and shades the tender
plants from the sun. Opponents to the
practice contend with equal energy that
the clover crop is liable to greater risk of
being lost when the grain is cut and the
plants are finally exposed. DR.. Harlan
recommends sowing buclwheat with
clover when it is desired TO grow only
the latter. The buckwheat will afford
shade while the clover is feeble, and if
cut while in blossom and permitted to
remain on the land will also mulch the
clover and prove of great advantage to
the crop. Whenever and however clover
may be sown it is important that there
exist considerable moisture in the sur
face soil at the time of the sowing
