Appearances are never more deceitful
than when Bismarck and Moltke, the
two main pillars Of the German empire.
are seen together. A stranger who hHd
merely read of their respective achieve
ments, without deriving from art some
familiarity with their features, would on
first beholding them, ~infallibly mistake
the diplomatist for the soldier. In the
tall figure, the broad shoulders, the thick
neck, the grizzly mustache, the bushy
eyebrows, and the grim, determined look
OF the prince. he would at once be sure OF
the victor in three unparalleled cam
paigns; while the slender form, the stu
dious stoop, the smooth-shayen face. with
the pensive and m~agnifcently poised head
Of the count would correspond with his
preconception OF the man who thought
out the grand political plans which had
been executed at the point Of the sword
by his herculean companion"
The prince stands 9 feet 2 inches in his
boots, and, though n se-ptuagenarian, Is hs
straight rs an iron rod. Some years ago
he suffered much from obesity, but this
he reduced by n severe regimen. His
power OF work was until recently quite
phenomenal, though he has alwsys been
n great eater, a deep drinker and a heavy
smoker. At one time he was what the
Germans call a "chain smokerH-that is,
he would onsume c~onsecutively n cable
Of cigars, zach link being lighted at the
stump Of its predecessor. Happy manir
exclaimed Gambetta once, speaking OF
the great German, beer and smoke agree
with him" Though virtually n one-meal
man, that meal has been enormous, both
Ms regards eating and drinking. He has
n passionate love for the country, finding
Atongues in trees, books in the running
brooks" and sermons in stones. Lon

There Is n mysterious connection be
tween areas OF barometer and cold waves.
Most OF the areas Of low barometer are
formed In the region Just east Of the
Rocky mountains; and as one Of these
low areas moves eastward "the high
moves in, and IL escorts or is escorted by
n cold wave OF more or less intensity. But
all cold waves do not move across the
country from west To east, along ono
wind-shorn track. In the four years oh.
%servAtions IL was ascertained that twenty.
two moved directly across the country
along the chain Of great lakes to and
through New England; forty-seven moved
In n s-outheasteriy direction, covering the
entire country in their progress, and nine
teen moved southeasterly from Montana
or Dakota TO Texas, thence through the
gulf states, and thence northeasterly
over the Atlantic oast states. None of
the first class visited the south; and all OF
the second class did, and some ofthe third
class did not touch interior points.-At-

There is nothing that frightens a person
so easily as a pain or any irritation in the
neighborhood OF the heart, and ailments
OF other organs in that neighborhood are
easily mistaken for heart troubles. Then,
again, it is not difficult to imagine that
something is the matter with your heart,
particularly IL your digestion is any way
bad. Take n lot Of medical students, FOL

lecture on heart disease 1t makes plenty OF

and after the lecture is over you ear see
fully one-half of them during the after
noon dropping in ON the lecturer to have
their hearts examined.-Dr. Kier In Globe.

The oLANolNo Of coLuMaus.s
Romantic story Of the Artist Who Painted
the welI-Known Picture.


The paintings which adorn the walls Of
the rotunda Of the capitol at Washington
have no high artistic value, but some of
them possess peculiar historical interest.
The best OF these paintings is @The Land

markable popularity. Countless thou

every good citizen when the government

This picture has n nan II Is said
that as Aaron Burr, then at the height of
his fame, was driving through the coun-
try in New York state one OF his horses
cast n shoe. While waiting at the shop Of a
wayside blacksmith to have the shoe re-
placed his attention was attracted by n
rough, charcoal sketch of his horses and
and vehicle drawn on the side OF II stable.
The rapidity with which it must have
been executed, it's faithful likeness, sur.
prised and interested him. Besides the
sketch, charcoal in hand, stood a shock
headed boy clad in homespun.
This boy was John Vanderlyn, who
afterwards became famous as the painter
OF the Landing Of Columbus" which
hangs in the capitol, and the "Marius Mt
Carthage" which had the distinguished
honor of being exhibited Mt the Louvre,
Paris. Burr learned from the boy that he
had received no instruction in drawing
and that intensified his interest in the
crude genius.
Burr is said to have given him a card
with his address and the words: "If ever
you want employment, and desire to see
the world, put on n clean shirt and go to
New York to that address, Months
afterward Burr was interrupted mt
breakfast by his servant handing him
a small parcel with the statement that the
boy who brought 1t was waiting out

n clean, coarse, co~untry-made shirt. Burr
was mystined but ordered the servant To
show the boy in. In a moment, the artist
OF the blacksmith shop stood before him.
Burr at once took him into his family,
educated him, and assisted him TO Eu-
rope, where he spent five years in the
study Of art. He became famous, and at
one time counted even the great Napoleon
among his patrons. With the usual fate
ofthe artist, however, he always remained
poor and at last died in poverty near the
old blacksmith sEop.-Atlanta Constitu-
