Military Berlin

One certainly sees more soldiers in the
streets of Berlin than in those of Lon
don and Paris; but one does not see
many of them, and they form altogeth-
err but small minority of the people
one meets when walking about Berlin
And that is easy to explain, soldiers do
not play at soldering here, as French
schoolboys have done latterly. Fight
ing is considered by the Germans bust
ness, or a trade, or an art-as you may
like to call (which is to be learned
very seriously, and which keeps the
young men, who are notens volens de-
voted to it, during almost the whole day
in their quarters or on the parade
ground. As to the officers, they are
nearly as much taken up by their work
as the most Woodworking official, mer-
camille clerk or artisan. The lieutenant
of the guards, who has nothing to do
but to show his fine uniform on the
streets, exists only in the Imagination of
people who have never seen him. That
aristocratic young gentleman generally
begins his work at 6 o'clock in the
morning in summer, at in the winter,
and is tired out when, at 5 or o'clock

through it. 1t is not he, certainly, who
crowds the streets of Berlin. He has
other things to do than to walk about,
even when he happens to be on leave.
There is, however, something military
to be seen in the streets of Berlin at
nearly every hour of the day, which
may have struck the Partisan newspa-
per writer, though it does not belong
exclusively to Berlin, but to all the lar
ger German towns where soldiers are
garrisoned. Every now and then, es-
pecially about noon, you will meet
small detachmcnts of soldiers-four,
six, perhaps ten or twenty men-march
ing from the guard house to relieve the
sentries on duty at the palaces of men,
bers of the imperial family, the resi-
dences of commanding offices and GER
tain public buildings, such as the minis
try of war, the staff office, the arsenal,
etc. These soldiers, preceded by a SER
geant, walk in the middle of the street |
with long, regular, quiet steps, almost
eisurely. Suddenly a sharp word of |
is heard. An officer or an
imperial carriage is in sight. The men
all at once seem to have been struck by !

The newspaper is queer affair, and
the chap who conducts it is queer. If
anybody tenders mammoth squash or
monstrous egg, or even bewitching,

next issue that the donor is a magnifi-

and raises stuff as is stuff If this no.
tice doesn't appear the editor had best
not appear where the producer can see
him, or he will be withered by uncanny
glances. The newspaper man is often
called deadhead, and yet he pays,
twice or thrice as much for many things
he gets as other people do. Let

or cord of wood, and he is not ex-

Great Deal of Property Destroyed and
Some Loss of Life Incurred.
Evansville, Ind, and surrounding country
was visited by destructive hurricane on Fri
day last. A damage of not less than a quarter
of million of dollars in Evansville and vicin-
ity was inflicted. Homes were blown down,
roofs carried away, stores badly damaged
thousands of shade trees were torn up by the
roots and other injury done. The steamer
Belmont, which leaves Evansville every morn
ing, was wrecked by the storm about two
miles from Henderson, blowing her barge and
cars to the bank, taking her chimneys of and
sinking her almost instantly. Fourteen lives
were lost. The hurricane capsized the boat,
turning her completely over. She was going
to Henderson with a cargo containing the
passengers of the Louisville and Nashville
railroad. The boat was separated from the
barge. All on the latter were saved, and all on
the boat, except four or five, lost. Among the
lost are Captain John Smith, r. G. Roach and

The Hawaiian Islands.

These islands are twelve in number.
only eight of which are inhabitable.
They extend between 10 deg. 80 min.
and % deg. 20 min. north latitude
that is, they are just within the
tropics. Their total area is 6, 100 square
miles. Of this, one island, Hawaii,
comprises two-thirds, or 1000 square
miles. From Kauai, the most northerly,
to Hawaii, the island farthest south, is
about 1852 miles. Geologically it is in
ferred that they must have been pro-
duced in a line from north to south,
those islands farther north being prior
in point of origin. On Kauai and
Oahu the volcanoes are older, and have
been extinct longer than those on Molo-
kai and Maui, while in Hawaii, the
most southerly of the group, the vol
canoes are still active. The general
structure of each island is group OF
extinct volcanoes, forming a center,
from which the land slopes down to the
sea. By aqueous and atmospheric
agencies the rocks have been converted
into soil. This soil has been washed
down the mountains, deposited at their
base as sediment, and by gradual ac-
cumulations flats have been formed, on
which plantations are now established.

Since the new science of reading
character by the handwriting has come
in, it is even said that the care taken of
the nails affects the handwriting. The
long, almond-shaped nail is a great
support to the middle finger, which
guides the pen. One can hardly mag
inc person with short, stubby finger
nails, which are covered with skin,
writing the long, graceful English hand.
which so delights the recipient of the
note from grande dame. 1t is said
that poets and people with imagination
are apt to have long taper fingers and
beautiful finger nails. They have a
handwriting in which the long up
strokes and down-strokes cut into the
lines above and beneath them. The

a tendency to melancholy. An apti-
tude for criticism is shown amongst
people who bite their nails. They are
cynical and severe, uncharitable and
bitter. They write small, cramped
and illegible hand. However, there
may be good natured critics, men with
versatility of comprehension. They
would have small but well shaped nails,
and their handwriting would be some
what angular, showing penetration and
finesse. The nails of a musician are,
of course, to be observed, although the
piano sometimes INJURIES them The
great musicians have a sloping hand
writing. There is, however, an eccen-
tricity peculiar to the handwriting of
executive musicians, as witnessed in
that of Beethoven. The finger nails of
mathematicians are apt to be square,
not beautiful. The handwriting of
such persons shows a quiet movement
of the pen. The lines are straight with,

small and angular Diplomacy has a
long, supple hand, and long, beauti-

Chinese have such long finger nails that

they have more lime in their bones

Repor, of Indian Outbreak Not Credited.

The commissioner of Indian affairs does not
credit the report of the threatened Indian
outbreak in northwestern Montana. He be-
lieves that the stories are circulated by stock
men who wish to have the Indians removed.
An officer of the Indian bureau, referring to
the matter, said the stockmen had no just
cause for complaint, even If it were true that
the Indians had killed a few cattle, because
the land belonged to the United States, and
stockmen had no legal right to use it for their
own benefit, and fence it in, as they were now
doing.

PR0PHESIES.

Sometimes you will look back to those
bright days
With fearful eyes,
And think Of all our quiet, happy ways
With sobs and signs.
You will remember how we read, or
talked .
In this dear room
Or, summer evenings how we rode or
walked
Thro' fragrant gloom.
Sometimes alone, or in a busy throng
Again will ring
Soft, clear and sweet, an echo of some
We used to sing
And oft, awake or sleeping, you II recall
This cosy room
Books, music, cen the pictures ON the
And flowers in bloom.
You will remember every tender word
You'v said to me.
The knowledge you've spoken no harsh
word
Will comfort thee.
Sometimes you III weep and pray, but all
in vain
As far you roam.
For one short hour to rest from grief and
pain
In this sweet home.
Dear !, heart, ! grieve that I must leave
To walk alone:
But sometime we shall find each other
there
Around the Throne.

POETRY.
THE LEAVES ARE FALLING.

The leaves are falling, hear you calling
From out the years that slumber in the
past,
Asleep or waking, my heart is breaking
For one sweet love that thrills it to the
last.
The leaves are sailing, and ! m bewailing
The lost affections of my vanished
youth,
When friends were dearer and hearts
were nearer,
And life was in the Heaven OF their
truth.
The leaves are flying, the winds are sigh
ing, f
And nature. with her garb of green
and gray,
Makes many changes DER hill and
A bride of beauty in her autumn day.
Along the hours, in golden showers,
The leaves are falling 0 'er hill and dale;
Their ranks are broken-a voiceless token,
That we shall follow down the fading
vale
And perish like the leaves blown by
the gale.
But still, while thinking, my soul is link
ing
Unto celestial lands beyond this sod.
Where peace and pleasure beyond all
measure
Shall crown us meath the chast ming
golden rod,
Amid the realms of glory and of God.
