GEN. GRANT IN BERLIN

The Crown Prince of Germany has
given a correspondent some incidents
of Gen. Grants visit to Berlin. Said
the Prince: Il remember quite a
military scandal that occurred while
he was here. The officers and men
on duty had orders to treat him with
all possible honor in the way Of sa-
lutes, turning out the guards, etc.
But the sentries got it into their heads
that the ex-President Of the United
States would go about in great style,
in an open coach, like a soverei gn,
whereas he was almost always OH foot
and seldom accompanied by more
than one Or two persons. Well, the
day he first came to see me he saun-
tered along Unter den Linden in an
nonchalant way, and was past the
sentries at the palace door before
they saw him. Even then they did
not know him, and perhaps would not
have saluted him at all had it not
been for the sudden opening of the
doors by the Wallets who had been
watching for his coming. Then the
two soldiers came to present Gen.
Grant threw away his cigar, lifted his
hat to them, and passed indoors. The
poor captain Of the guard, when he
heard of the incident, was wild with
rage and chagrin"

BILL NYE'S VISION.

Night before last, after I had regis
tered at the hotel and been assigned
''the last room in the hotel''-I use
the language Of the hotel clerk-I
went into the dining room to tea. It
is not my custom when travelling to
smile on one in whose heart hope
might spring up to be dashed to the
earth by my departure If I have
caused pain in that way did not in
tend to do So I can joke and carry
on and have a real good time, but I do
not wish to inspire in any breast hope
which may be blasted, alb, alas! too
soon.
1t was not long before I discovered
a beautiful blonde of the female sex
at the farther end of the room beneath
the chandelier. Her skin seemed to
be Of delicate sea-shell color, and
her hair was corn-colored. Her clothes
also were entirely new, I should Judge,
and made especially for her. On her
finger she wore diamond ring with
perfect ease. She knew just how to
work that finger in order to get the
most possible glitter out of her dia-
mond. Every little while I would
look over there and reyel IN her beauty
and I thought she was not entirely
insensible to my charms.
All that evening she was in my
mind. I dreamed that night that I
swooped down upon her and carried
her away to the remotest boundaries
of the world in a special car. The
next morning I awoke hungry, for I
didn't eat much supper the night be-
fore. Invent down to breakfast, wait
ing and fooling away my time, hoping
that she would come while I was in

MEXICO'S NATIONAL DRINK.

What the Napa valley is to San
Francisco, the western reservoir to
Ohio, or the Orange county dairy re-
gion to New York city, are Los Llanos
de Apam to the city of Mexico-the
principal difference being that maguey
is MIXED in lieu Of COWS and pulque
is the product. Some idea Of the
magnitude of this kind Of agriculture
may be derived from the fact that
two special pulque trains run daily
into the capital city with the same
regularity that milk trains come into
our metropolitan cities, yielding the
railroad revenue Of $1,000 a day
freightage. The legend runs that
somewhere about the year $50 Toll
tee Indian, whose name was Papant-
yin, was fret to discover that the juice
of the agave Americana might be dis
titled into beverage tit for the gods.
Desiring to bring the new blessing
into royal favor, he commissioned his
only daughter, Xoahiti (signifying the
SsFlower Of Anahua''), as cup bearer
to the king This ancient Heba, we
are told, was young and beautiful, and
the monarch not only drank and
praised the pulaue, but married the
maiden. And to this day the beyer-

THE SOAP CApER.

A very successful swindle, operated
by street peddlers, is what is technic-
ally known as the soap caper." Any
common soap will wash the dust out
Of a grease spot, and a person is apt
to come to the conclusion that the
stain itself has been taken out, until
more dust accumulates on the grease
and he finds himself mistaken. For
the purposes of the swindle two fel-
lows will buy lot of cheap soap and
cut it up into small pieces, which are
daintily perfumed and nicely wrapped
in fancy colored paper This is all
the stock in trade needed, except
generous allowance of cheek. One of
the fellows dresses himself up like
dude and generally conducts himself
SO that everybody to whom he appeals
makes fun of him. Perhaps he does
sell few pieces of the soap, for it
appears to do what is claimed for it,
but he purposely makes such an ass
of himself that nobody wants to trade
with him. Soon, when he is boasting
of how much soap he can sell in a
day, common looking fellow in the
crowd calls out: "Well, why don't
you sell it then?" and at once they
get into a wrangle, which is ended by
the plain fellow betting that he can
sell more soap in ten minutes than the
proprietor of the stand can sell in
half an hour. The bet is generally
quite large one, and as sympathy is
entirely with the commonly-looking
fellow the crowd comes to his support
and he rapidly sells out his share of
the soap, aud finally also disposes of
the greater part of the others pack
ages. It Is needless to say that the
fellows are confederates, and are play
ing into each others hands. Two
good operators can make tremendous
profits by working this game, and
they run no risk Of being arrested.

CLIMATIC CHANGES.
Characteristics Of the Range and
Ranch Cattle Area with Respect
to Temperature.

The following is from the report of
Joseph Nimmo, jr., chief of the bu-
reau Of statistics:
The characteristics Of the range and
ranch cattle area, with respect to tenn
perature during the different seasons
OF the year, are very clearly exhibited
in the census temperature charts, and
also In the annual reports of the chief
signal officer Of the war deaartment
On map No. l, at the end of this re-
port, are dellneated the January
isothermal lines These indicate ap-
proximately the relative severity of
the winter season in various parts Of
the range and cattle area. It will be
observed that these isotherms pay lit
tie heed to parallels Of latitude. For
example: The January isotherms of
30 degrees sweeps in an apparently
fantastic course through Ia degrees
of latitude, equal to 967 statute miles,
between Washington Territory and
New Mexico. Such wide departures
of the isothermal lines from the par
allels of latitude are due mainly to
the hypsometric characteristics Of the
continent, and especially to its orolog-
ical features.
It will be observed that the point of
lowest January temperature along the
northern boundary line Of the United
States is about where that line is
crossed by the Red river Of the north,
the boundary between the State of
Minnesota and the Territory of Da-
kota. 1t will also be observed that
the mean January temperature rises
from little below zero at that point
to 20 degrees above zero in the nor
thern part Of the Territory OF Idaho,
and to 80 degrees above zero where
the boundary line between Washing
ton Territory and British Columbia
touches Puget Sound.

the winter months blow over Montana,

myself up with the beautiful vision
and cup of coffee.
Anon she came She sailed into the
room with calm disdain and an air of
hauteur, and such things as that. The
ad-waiter waved his hand like a
self-acting duke in theatre and gave
her seat at my table. A thrill passed
up through me and I laid down the
vulgar sausage which I was about to
feed myself when she dawned upon
me.
I ventured then to look across the
table at her in the full glare of the
newborn day. The first thing that I
discovered was that she hadn't put
her yellow wig on straight. It was a
little higher On one ear than the other,
which gave her the air of a young
man who has oyer-monkeyed with the
flowing bowl. This showed to the
casual spectator glimpse of her own
moth eaten, sage-br1,sh hair peeping
out like the faded tail on an old buf-
falo robe.
Then [ knew that we could never
be more to each other than friends.
Her nose was red also, and she had
not been properly calcimined. In the
hurry of dressing she had missed her
nose with the powder-rag and that
organ-meaning, of course, the nose,
not the powder rag-loomed up robust
and purple in the ghastly waste of
cheek bones and other osseous forma-
tions.
Ah, what pain it gave me to see
my beautiful vision fade thus before
my eyes! Then I thought how / had
smiled on her the evening before, and
how, perhaps, a new hope had sprung
up in her heart. and I feared that
when she knew it was all over between
us the shock at her time Of life might
kill her.
I left my hot pancakes, with the
maple syrup all over them, and fled
ont into the din, the hurry, and the
tireless rush of the mad, mad world,
trying to stife the memory of that
broken heart Should she see these
lines I hope she will not think bitter
ly Of me. still admire her as we'll

Afar in the west the sun went down
In shimmering mist of golden rain,
As the grumbling herd swept DER the

Spurred by the yells of a savage train,
That swung the lash they had learned to

From ribbon grass and pitcher plant

Beyond the reach of warning word,
Her lip aquiver with alright,
Right in the track of tiinty feet,
Hard as the owner of the ranch,
Her hair entwined with flowers to meet
Deaths face beneath that avalanch.

"Red Dick" though hair and beard

A son of the West with trigger quick,
And at cards an oddly winning way
