The old man felt that he was lost.
The cellar was large one. Il would
take long time to take up the whole
pavement, but sooner or later the fatal
stone must be removed, and then.
The Prussian Lieutenant became inn
patient, as stone after stone was Lifted
from its place, and discovered nothing
but little muddy water. An idea
struck him. He picked up walking
stick, and tapping the stones, ordered
every one that sounded hollow to be
marked with piece of chalk the others
might be left undisturbed.
Old Pierre, the servant, watched tbs
proceedings in silence. Near the stone
that hid the flag was pile of bagging.
He sat down on the pile and noticed that
one end of the bagging traiied over
towards the stone. BY pressing his foot
against this and rubbing it gently against
the chalk mark he succeeded in effacing
it. The search was over, the flag had
not been discovered and the officer was
furious.
A few weeks afterward young
lieutenant of Zouaves, who had
been wounded and paroled, was sent
through the Prussian lines to the French
headquarters. He was weak and fever
ish when he arrived at the chateau and
had to stop to have his wound dressed.
It was very severe one; his leg had
been shattered by q piece of shell.
When the men of the ambulance corps
came to carry him down stairs his leg
appeared to be swathed in unusually
heavy bandages. Between the upper
and lower layer was the tri-color Of the
--th Chasseurs.

wounded Frenchman, as he acknowl-
edged the Prussian officers salute.
Then raising his kept to the count, who
stood on the balcony to watch this de-
parture, his lips formed the words "Vive

feshy lady as, entering the car, her eyes
fell upon the stove. "What an idea!
A fire such day as this. What in the
world are they thinking OFF" And she
shoves up the window and fans herself
like all possessed.
An elderly gentleman next enters.
He sits down to read his newspaper,
first glancing at the open window in an
offended sort Of way. AS his eyes move
around from the open window to his
paper, they fall upon the stove.
"Great Scottp he mutters. "Do
they want to roast fellow alive ?"
And up goes his window.
Each new conner sits down quietly.

to open all the ventilators, while an
other opens both doors.

a dozen forefingers point to the stove.
The conductor looks at the cause Of

takes off his hat and mops his brow.
Then he takes a long poker, and, stand

back to avoid the heat, then steps for

and remarks, with laugh:

Instantly the doors are closed, every

SAVING THE FLAG.
A Romantic Adventure Of the Franco =
sian War.

A Romantic Adventure Of the Franco Prus-
sian War.
From the Washington Star.
Count Paul de Le1sse, whose son
married the granddaughter of Marshal
Moreau the other day, is the hero of q
romantic adventure in the Franco Prus-
sian war. As the Prussians advanced
on the evening Of the battle of Worth,
driving the French tirailleurs before
them, the latter made a desperate stand
at the Chateaus de Leusse. The Prus-
SLAMS forced their way into the park and
the French fell back on the chateau it
self. A young chasseur, terribly
wounded and holly pursued by the
enemy, staggered up to the old Count,
who viewed the dismal spectacle in
anguish from the balcony, and holding
up French flag called out to him to
save it.
s'Take it" said the dying soldier; II
am done for. Keep it. am willing to
die if I can only save it from those wild
beasts" So saying he fell across the
steps and expired. The count did not
know what to do. The Prussians were
laundering at the gates; in few min
utes they would be swarming all over
the chateau, which could make no de-
Tense, and it was full of the wounded
and dying. Time passed and the Count
had but few minutes to make up his
mind. Rushing to his room he tore the
flag from its staff, which he burned,
folded it up, and hid it in bureau
drawer among his linen, remembering
that the best hiding place in the world
proved his foresight. The. Prussians
searched every inch of the chateau ex-
cept the top drawer Of the Counts bu-
reau.
But as it might be dangerous to leave
the flag, where it was he had it
tightly packed in q tin box, and with
the aid of an old servant named Pierre,
buried it all night under q large square
stone in the cellar. The count felt very
much relieved, but scoundrel of an
hostler, who had watched them de-
nounced them, stimulated by the hope
Of gain, to the Prussians. The count
had made the old servant swear to let
himself be cut to pieces rather than be-
tray the hiding place Of the poor SOL
dier's legacy. So when the Prussian
lieutenant in command seized him by
the collar and asked where it was, he
simply answered that he did not know"

The effect that the disappearance of

The effect that the disappearance Of
forests has upon climate receives fresh
illustration almost every day. In Italy
the clearing of the Apennines is be-
lieved to have seriously changed the
climate of the Pc valley, and now the
African sirocco, never known to the
armies of ancient Rome, breathes its
hot, blithing breath over the right bank
Of the river in the territory of Parma.
The removal CT the pine forests near
Ravenna induced the same desolating
wind; and the same destruction of the
old forests of Vosges and of the Ce-
venues has had like deteriorating in
auences upon the climate. In Egypt,
where, during the French occupation in
1898, not drop of rain fell for sixteen
months, and where from time immem-
Orial the country has been rainless bed
of sand, Mohammed Ali, by planting
his millions of fig and orange trees, has
seen his country blessed with an annual
rainfall of several inches.

Ex-Mayor Powderly of Scranton, Pa,
says he never believed such degradation
possible as he has just Witnessed in the
Connellsville coke region of Pennsyl-
sania among the Hungarians. At one
of the ovens he saw q woman half naked
drawing the hot coke from the chamber.
She had no covering on her head and
very little on her person. Her appear
ance was that of one whose spirit had
been broken by hardship and hard work
Her attire consisted of o coarse chemise
and pair of cowhide boots. In a freight
car close by stood another woman stow
ing the coke as it came to the car She
stood in the doorway and was dressed
in rough, loose fitting outer garment
and an apron. Her person from the
waist up was exposed. Her feet were
encased In pair of heavy shoes, and
her legs were exposed from the knee
down. Other scenes were worse than
these. These women are not employed
by the corporations, but assist their
husbands and fathers in their labor.

New York Letter.-The rapid growth
of luxury is one of the features Of New
York. There was time when gentle

ever, he sends to Delmonico's, or some
similar establishment, and simply men,
tions the time and number of guests.
The entertainment will be provided in
the highest syle, but the bill will be of
corresponding rate. 1t costs not less
than $40, and sometimes SIS, for suit

and other details of a first class enter

A. Z. Stewart gave every Sunday

Our best cooks are all French, some of
whom will tell you that they have more
than 5000 distinct dishes, including
800 soups and an equal number of en-
trees. There are on the list /, 900 dishes
of meats and vegetables, besides pastry.
The French cook magnifies his Office

Horace, the cook, lis born, not made"
Apicius and Lucullus were the most
noted astronomers Of classic days, but
their method of cookery has not been
preserved. The earliest "cook book"
LIE Menagier de Paris, was written
nearly q century before the discovery Of
the art of printing. When the latter
occurred, cook books we're among the
earliest publications. It may be OBJ
served that the standard of taste with
regard to delicacies has changed toare-
markable degree. For instance, the
favorite meat of the lux
urious Romans was pork. 1t was
cooked with great art, but at the pres
emit day no preparation of such dish
could give it very high rank among
the delicacies Of the gourmand. These
cooks have an aristocracy Of their own,
and some are men of comparative
wealth. The best paid are found at
fashionable club houses. Delmonico's
waited du cuisine receives at least - 900
year. This shows that ook at the
Union club probably receives nearly the
same salary, and the best hotels also
pay literally. The watering place sea-
son now takes some Of the best cooks

ASHAMED OF HIS pa"
Yale Student Who Doesn't Relish Visits
Prom Home.

George w. Peck of Peck's sun was in
New Haven recently, and wrote to his
paper concerning Yale students: Many
of them are bright, smart young fellows,
but plenty of them have that sickly,
cigarette-smoking, dude, darn-fool look
that makes you feel like knocking them
down with stocking full of soft-soap,
or blowing their brains out with IL cork
from soda water bottle. There was
one at dinner at the hotel with his faith
er, and never felt so sorry for an old
man in my life. He came up on the train
with us, and he talked to several about
his coming from the west, where he is
lumberman, to see his boy who is at
college. The old man was quite fresh,
but he was evidently good father to
his boy. The boy met him at the depot,
and it was plainly case where the son
had rather the father had not come.
He was ashamed of the old man. That
is the plain English of it, and he was
cross when the father put his arms
around his neck and kissed him. Poor
fool. That father was proud that he
was able, by life of hard work and
hardships, to educate the boy; and he
was proud to see him looking so well.
though he did look little edge-wise at
these bicycle clothes the boy
had on, and the cigarette. The
boy asked about mother, and he
seemed ashamed when the father said,
loud enough for the passengers in the
depot to hear: "Your ma was coming
on with me, but last Sunday she went
out with the hired girl to pick some cow
slips for greens, and she got her feet
wet, and has been laid up with rheuma-
tiz. You know your ma always
would have the first mess of cowslip
green's" The boy steered his father
out OF the depot and down back street,
and we did not see them again until
dinner time at the best hotel, and they
sat at the same table. Poor old man,
he couldn't do anything right at the
table, and the boy looked at his father
as though it was the last hair that broke
his back when the old man shoveled
some corned beef and cabbage into his
mouth with his knife, and said as he
held up his knife to make gestures with:
"They don't know how to corn beef in
oA1io ooFCIA. IL OncJ WOuO pun utbl0
saltpetre in that brine it would
take the brakish taste out of the beef"
Poor fool boy, his fathers country ways
took away his appetite and he looked
crushed. He tried to talk about things
at home, but the old man would talk
about "Your Aunt Samantha's cancer"
or "Your Uncle Alexis bronchitis" I'M
til the bow thought he would sink. He
tried to talk about work in the pinery,
but the old man wanted to talk about
work at college, and the boy would
twirl his little mustache, feel of the
bangs on his forehead, and paralyze the
father about Greek roots till the old
man looked tired. The boy got through
dinner alive and got his father out Of
the dining room, and several times as
we drove around we saw them walking
on back streets, and when we all took
the train the old man was on board, but
he hadn't much to say.

You Can't Make $500 by Reading This,
even if you have chronic nasal catarrh in it's
worst stages, for although this amount of re-
ward has for many years been offered by the
proprietors of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, for
any case Of catarrh they cannot cure, yet not
withstanding that thousands use the Remedy
they are seldom called upon to pay the reward,
and when they have been so called upon they
have universally found that the failure to cure
was wholly due to some overlooked complica-
ton, usually easily removed by slight modi-
