Marriage Of German Officers.

The German Armec- Verorduungs-
Bian recently published a royal order
regulating the conditions under which
the lower officers of the Pruss an army
are allowed to marry. Until now a
Captain had to prove himself possessed
of a private income of $50 marks $50
before receiving permission to marry.
Henceforth the minimum income for
that purpose must be double that
amount Sim larry, Lieutenants must
have from now on !, 500 instead of l, 500
marks. The income is to consist in in
terest on securities approved of by the
German Reichsbank, or in rent from
property, which can only be morteaged
up to certain amount. The officer
applying for permission to marry must
declare upon his honor that he has no
private debts. and if the income con-
sists of certain allowance to himself
or his bride, it must be stipulated be-
forehand that, in case of their death.
the amount will revert to their future
children. There are many other minor

ARNOLD'S WELL.
Reminders Of Benedict Arnold at Nor wich
and ut Norwich Town.

Reminders Of Benedict Arnold at Nor wlch
and ut Norwich Town.
The old Benedict Arnold we'll in this
own has been closed. 1t is at the rear
of the lawn, encircled by tall ever
greens. at the fine Ripley place on the
road to Norwich Town. For many
years gothic curb has stood about it,
but it became SO rotten that it was nec-
essary to take it down. The curb hav-
ing been removed a big round stone
was placed over the we'll, which was not
filled in.
The old Arnold farmhouse, which
was not far from the well. was torn
down a quarter of a century or more
ago, and replaced with a handsome
modern dwelling. In the woods back
of the house still is pointed out tower
ing oak into whose crotch the youthful
Benedict used to climb. At Norwich
Town, not quarter of a mile away,
the squat brick box. with messed roof
and bleached walls, still is standing in
which Benedict learned from good old
DIR. Lathrop how to mix pills and put
up lotions. 1t is on ground owned by
Henry McNelly. Its worn front door
sill is almost in line with the dusty
village street. and there is no fence in
front of it. The country roadside walls
have been built up to it and then de-
flected so that it is i'm a walled recess.
1t is one story high. with two or three
old-fashioned dusty windows, which
look somewhat severely at the brand
new things about the old drug shop.
The building is preserved as a relic. 1t
has been padlocked for many years and
it needs painting.

FREEZING IN SUMMER.

an Invention Which Promises to Work \
Complete Social Revolution.
81 have just completed an invention
that will work revolution in human
comfort and household affairs" said
Mr.. George I. Buckle, a young me-
chanic.
'What is it?"was asked.
"A patent refrigerator said the
young man, ''that can be carried about
as easily as q dinner bucket. 1t is
destined to be classed alongside with
the telegraph, the steam engine and the
telephone. If can only get moneycd
man to back my enterprise we shall
both become worth millions in less than
year. and have the thanks of the hu-
man race beside"
You see," he continued, 1.-The heat
OF summer time entails untold suf.
ferlngs and Inconvenience upon all
people, and the man who can SO modify
nature as TO blend the comforts of win.
Ter and summer in one, and at the same
time exclude the bad features of both.
Is not only abenefactor, but also a posi-
tive necessity to the world at large"
1.-The refrigerator which l have Just
completed is small metal apparatus
about the size of a wooden bucket. By
the use of chemicals, the admixture OF
which is my secret, / can reduce the
temperature within the refrigerator to
point more than one thousand degrees
Fahrenheit below zero. Now, I sup
pose you know by the study Of natural
philosophy that frozen mercury is so
cold that it will burn and iniict the
same KIND of wound as a red-hot
poker. This fact will help you to I'M
derstand that under my manipulation
the refrigerator becomes so intensely
low in temperature that it gives out
rays of cold, just rs oppositcly as a
stove radiates heat"
The beauty of the whole thing will be
seen in the manner in which it works."
pursued Mr.. Buckle, earnestly. All
you have to do is to mix The chemicals
and put them within the refrigerator,
and the apparatus becomes SO cold that
1t may be used in summer just as CRATE
fire i'm WINTER
"What will be the outcome of it, ell:
Why. simply this: Workmen on hot
summer day will carry the refrigerator
about with them as means of comfort,
and cool themselves by it, just in the
same manner that you warm yourself
before fire in winter. Every house

TIMELY ADVICE.
Words Of Wisdom Spoken for the Bsne0t
Of Summer Boarders.

i
| of Summer Boarders.
City folks who 60 into the country
to board on farm during part Of the
heated term will save themselves con-
siderable trouble and some remorse BY
taking these brief and hastily evolved
hints at their face value:
Don't expect the earth; you can have
only a very small part of it for six dol
lars per week.
Don't expect view from your win
dow that takes in . green hillside with
browsing lambs, a lake with water.
fowl, groves and flowers and clear
sunset every day during your stay.
These things come high, save in adver-
usements for summer boarders. Look
out upon the patient farm-boy bugging
the potato-vines and be content.
Don't ask the farmer why he puts
, his little peaches near the bottom of
the basket and the big ones on top. and
similar foolish questions. and thus dis
play your total ignorance of agricul-
tural and horticultural pursuits, and
win the farmers honest and hearty
contempt.
Don't 60 near the moving machine
when it is in motion. You may safely
sit on the fence surrounding the field
in which it is singing its merry song,
but that will be near enough. You
might get behind a moving machine
when it is in complete repose. but if it
should start, you should start also, and
you should not stop until you reach the
fence
Don't monkey with the straw-cutter.
or try to climb over the barbed-wire
fence. just to show the congregation
how smart you are. 1t requires long
practice to climb . barbed-wire fence
and not be sorry for it afterwards.
In busy times you may take off your
coat and 60 out with the hands for
half-a-day, just to give yourself an
appetite. That will please the farmer,
notwithstanding your increased appe-
tite; but don't get into the habit of that
sort Of thing.
Evince an interest i'm livestock, but
don't say you would like to learn to
milk COW. You might, in this way,
but the cow would probably kick you
in the stomach, or the fence-corner, at
the first motion, and you would have
to buy a new milk-pail.
Praise the apple dumplings; say the
farm is the best kept you ever saw; kiss
the baby and pet the dog; and thus
make yourself solid with the whole
family ut the very outset.
If you go walking in the woods and
see large hornets nest hanging from
a low limb, don't become infatuated
with it. If desire to pull it and take
it home to show it to the other board
ers springs up in your bosom, try to
reprcss it. Hornets are a little par
ticular, and do not like to have their
nest shown around among curious city
people while they are using it, and il
you pull their nest while they are at
home they will show their disappro-
baton of your course.-ScoH Way. in

water through the soil of the spaces be-

the wider these spaces are the higher
