precise movements, in marching past
like a wall, and in the performance OF
the most complicated maneuvers with
out losing touch or cohesion, since the
maintenance of such cohesion was one
OF the most essential conditions for a
successful attack. Now the same la
borious care is bestowed upon the
training OF troops in firing tactics.
The result is that according to the
concurrent testimony OF foreign critics
OF nearly every European nation OF
any note as military power in no
other army in Europe is the fire OF the
infantry kept so completely under
control as in the German. Even dur
ing the most exciting phase of the late
maneuvers land every one who has
taken part in military maneuvers
knows that at times an almost incred-
lble excitement is aroused in the
troops engaged) the perfect control OF
the musketry fire was never for a mo-
ment lost or impaired. The advan-
tage which this superiority of it's rifle
discipline will confer on the German
army when it next takes the field in
earnest will be immense.

Set Il Rat on Fire.



The cigar store and barber shop at
8 Bleecker Street, is infested with rats.
The proprietor, Anton Denico, cap
tured one of them Thursday in trap
and took it into the street. He laid
the trap down near the gutter and
poured kerosene oil over the rat with
IN. Then he set fire to the animal and
liberated him from the trap.
A crowd gathered in the street in a
few minutes to witness the agony of
the rat. The brute ran hither and
thlther, to the great amusement OF the
spectators. Thomas Mitchell, of 24O
Elizabeth Street, one OF the onloOkers,
was disgusted and told Roundsman
Dougherty, OF the Fifteenth Precinct,
that he would appear as a witness
in a few minutes. Denico was ar
rested. At Jefferson market he was
accused OF tOrturing 80 rat, which he
had confined in a trap, by pouring oil
over its body, then setting fire to it,
thereby causing the rat unjustifiable
physical pain and suffering, IN viola
ton OF the form OF the statute in such
cases made and provided"
The prisoner denied that he was
guilty OF cruelty. He said that he was
frightened at the size and ferocity OF
the animal, and could not think of any
other way OF killing it. Agent Sinot,
OF the society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Animals, wanted to know
why he had not drowned the creature,
when Counselor McClelland stated that
the oiI-can happened to be handler
than a pail of water. Justice O'Reilly
held the accused in 500 bail for trial
at special sessions. Bonds were
given.

From the St James Gazette-
The most noticeable feature in the
recently concluded autumn maneuvers
OF the several German army corps and

TO have been the perfection to which
the firing discipline OF the infantry has
been brought. The German military
authorities appear to have recognized
not merely in theory, that since the
general adoption OF rapid firing arms
OF precision good and steady shooting
has become the main element Of sue

practical measures toinsure that their
armies shall be capable OF developing
to the utmost the power OF the rifle

upon the success oI a charge in line, the

A Builders Legend.


A writer in the XIXe Steele con-
tributes to that paper the Bulgarian
version OF legend which, in one shape
or other, has place in the traditions
OF almost every people with whom we
are acquainted. Nine master ma
sons, who were engaged in build
ing a citadel in the time OF
the VolvOid Neagoe, found on
returning to their work each morning
that the portion OF the wall which they
had completed the previous day had
fallen to pieces during the night, and
was lying heap of ruins in the ditch.
Marol OF Curtea, the head ma
son, informed his comrades one
morning that a voice from
heaven had warned him in his sleep
that their labors would continue to
come to naught unless they all swore
that morning to immure in the struCt-
ure the first woman, wife or
sister, who should arrive with
the morning meal OF one or
either OF them. They all took the
oath, and the last man had hardly
been sworn when Manols own wife
made her appearance bringing her
nuSDdDu DItdkIdSJ. MdnOI ktpG blt
oath, and "FlOra OF the Fields" dis
appeared in. the mass OF the rapidly
rising masonry. A curious practice OF
the Bulgarian masons which survives
to this day testifies to the vitality OF
the legend. To insure the solidity OF
the houses they build, they measure
with a reed the shadow of .he first
person who passes after they have dug
the foundation and are about to lay
the first stone, and then they bury the
reed under the foundation stone.

Origin OF IA Popular Song.

lhFCn Ine fnNaueipnid Ledger
Some weeks ago were printed, says
the London Figaro, accounts forward
ed various claimants to the famous
ballad, mo one to love me, none to
caress, Roaming alone through this
worlds wilderness" There is vet an
other claimant, as will be seen by the
following letter sent to the editor of
the American Music Journal by the
eldest son of the well-knowr American
musician and composer, E. l..
Walker: 81 am able to give you the
truth as to who composed No One to
Love- Bankert has no omoretO do with
it than you had. One Saturday night
in 1857, at our store, 6O6 Chestnut
Street, we had been very busy, and
kept open late-it was after 10 o'Cl0ck.
Father sat down to q piano and COM
posed the musiC-alsO wrote the lirst
verse and part OF the second, which
contain all the popular element of the
song. Then he got stuck, as they say,
and could not finish the words to his
satisfaction.
'"The next day Lewis Della, known as
the Bard of Tower HalP-you proba-
bly, remember him-came into our
store. Father called him back into
the piano department and played and
sang the song for him as far as he had
written it. Della was delighted with it,
and said he would like to complete the
poem. So father gave him what he
had written, which Della took away,
and in a few days returned with No
One to Love complete. This is the
true version of the origin of the most
popular song ever written, Father is
alive in this city, is 20 years Of age, as
hale and as hearty as ever, and is now
writing some compositions which will
make their mark in the musical
world"

An Old Rabbit.


iErOrn me Pan Mall Gazette
Here is a story that beats the old
dog stories hollow. According to NJ
Laborde, a writer in the Revue Scien-
tifique, a rabbit, one OF the ordinary
tame species, was brought for pur-
poses OF experiment at the Physiologi-
cal Laboratory in Paris, and after a
portion Of the facial nerve had been
removed it was left to run about the
laboratory. 1t very soon recovered
from the effect of the operation, and
was for four years NJ. LabOrde's affec-
tionate companion. 1t would wait at
the top of stairs his arrival in the
morning and would sometimes run to
meet him. Whenever it had the OPP
pOrtunity therabbit would Jump upon
his knee, and was as fond of caresses
as a cat. During the progress of an
experiment it would sit on the operat-
ing table watching the proceedings
with every appearance OF interest
Bunny's chief delight, however, was in
a miCrOscOpiCal examination. As
soon as NJ. Laborde put his eye to the
microscope the rabbit would perch on
his shoulders and endeayor to take a
peep. This wonderful animal lived on
terms of the most intimate friendship
with two dogs belonging to the labO
ratory; but when a strange dog ar
rived he invariably turned 1t out, and
sometimes chased it along the street.
Nor did he show himself very friendly
to unfamiliar biped visitors.

Or hear the sweet bells ChjwEl
For they that dwell! deep in the sea,
Below the wind and rain,
The Msrmen and the Mermaid5uS,

They have made fast the ruined walls
With their immortal hands,
And Strewn the aisle with red Sea-1Owers,
And with the wet sea sands.
And when a drifting boat comes back
Rock shattered 10 the shore.
With never captain at the helm,
Nor sailor at the oar.
Then down below the stormy foam
The sweet old bells ring free,
They call upon the mariners
That come no more from the sea
