The Battle of Konigeratx.

In the recent production by Dorothea Rob-
erts, entitled some Royal Lives" there are
some very interesting pictures illustrative of
dramatic incidents in the career Of the crown
prince and his wife, One OF these pictures
give, as it illustrates well the character and
relations Of this noble couple: ut is the eve
of the battle Of Koniggratz The guards
were defling past little below where Fred
erick William stood See his figure, erect
and fair, like one of the Norsemen Of old,
turning toward the soldiers, resolution and
reliance in every fiber. March for that tree;
there is our battleieldr Every man present
felt thrill when he heard the ringing cheer
that followed. The princes movement de-
cided the day.
AFTER the terrible battle had been fought,
the victory won, the king and his son were
each riding slowly over the battlefield, seek
ing to succor the wounded and the dying,
when they met. As they embraced the king
said: Thou hast shown capacity as a leader
Bismarck was a spectator of the historic
meeting, fine picture Of which adorns the
Ruhmeshalle in the Zenghaus at Berlin. The
horrors Of the field We're appalling to the
prince. He who causes war with a stroke
of the pen knows not what he is calling up
from Hades,' was his entry in his journal on
that momentous day."-San Reno Cor. New

Men as Messenger Bows.

It has been noticed among the brokers Of
fees for some time past that men have been
coming into use as messenger boys, If the
expression may be used. The reason for this
is, it would seem, that the supply Of suitable
boys is not equal to the demand. The down.
town superintendent of the American Dis.
trict company was saying the other day that
they are always short Of boys and had to
give the men a chance. As yet they have
only been employed to deliver kilograms,
where they are paid for each telegram deliv-
cred, and can therefore increase their remu-
neration by energetic work. The pay is two
cents for each telegram, and 800 or 400 a
week is fair weeks work, realizing the man
from s. to S. One man q short time ago,
by working early and late, managed to get
his bill up for half a month to over SIG The
appearance of these men down town, dressed
in the suits of messenger boys and oftentimes
wearing boards, is rather strange and start
ling at present Later on We may get used
to it-New York World.

Lord Palnnerston's Last Word.

Lord Palmerston once made use of some
very effective pauses which he could not
have prepared beforehand, and a sample Of
these is worth quoting. While electioneer-
ing at Taunton he was greatly troubled by a
butcher who wanted him to support a GER
tain Radical policy. At the end Of one OF
his lordship's speeches the butcher called out!
Lord Palmerston, will you give me plain
answer to plain question:" After slight
pause Lord Palmerston replied: Il will. :"
The butcher then asked: "Will you or Will
you not support this measure-a Radical
billy" Lord PalmeTston hesitated, and then,
with a twinkle in his eye, replied: Il wilp'-
Then he stopped. Immediately the Radicals
cheered tremendously. "Not," continued his
lordship. loud Conservative cheersl When
these ceased Lord Palmerston finished his
sentence-"tell you" He then Immediately
retired.-Chambers' Journal

Love and Friendship.

Men of every nation, with the exception,
perhaps, of France, go to men for intellectual
sympathy, for exchange of earnest feelings,
for spiritual intercommunication, in short,
for companionship. Love, as generally I'm
derstood, they set from and give to women,
necessarily; but friendship they seek and
find, as rule, in their own sex. That is a
false love which does not include friendship:
but it is the love which the mass of men feel,
end the mass of women inspire.
True love, love of the highest kind, con-
tains the elements of friendship, infused with
sexuality; friendship is sexless: therefore,
serene and stable, and comprehends the COM
forts of love without its passion. Many men
are incapable Of friendship; but the lowest
end the basest think themselves capable Of
love. Most of those called the best and wsest
would scott at the very idea of friendship
with women; and friendship and companion
ship may be considered interchangeable. Is
not companionship like the rich deposit in
lifc's retort, after loves passion has ceased to
sparkle and effervesce! - Junius Henri
Browne in Cosmopolitan.

expression of their faces and the elasticity or

joy, which shone through all the sooty black

came little fair haired, blue eyed girl, fresh

various Types Of Gossapsi1.


The most dangerous type Of gossiper is not
the woman who has won renown In her
profession Her notoriety is our protection.
We are on our guard in her presence. We
speak cautiously and listen indiferently, and
she is only able to irjuIe where she IS not
known.
; Far more to be dreaded is the really good
hearted but indiscreet and garrulous woman
who loves to impart information. l know
some excellent wives and mothers, devout
church members, and tireless workers for
charity, who would be indignant were they
classed among the despised gossips
Yet these same women have related in my
presence the outlived errors Of people whom
loved and respected They have brought
out the folded and fled away follies, long
hid in the dusty pigeon holes Of the past, for
my eyes to peruse in the glaring light Of the
present They did not mean to be malicious
they simply lacked the strength OF mind to
be silent concerning an old tale which could
in no wise benefit me to hear. 1t was the
love of impartirg information, the impulse
to astonish rather than any wish to injure.
But its effect was pernicious and harmful

The Tailor Made GirI.n

have not spoken Of the tailor made girl"
yet. This not undescriptive title hes been
given to the somewhat independent girl who
dresses in plain cut gowns, with little or no
trimming, in contradistinction to the cling
ing young women whose gowns are hung
with ruffles and lace. There are some men
who prefer the 'tailor made, while there are
others who prefer the Ginger. The ''tailor
made" is not necessarily the least bit mascr-
line, neither is she husband hunting. She il
fond of walking, and SO she wears shoes that
do not pinch her feet. She ''goes in"-as they
say in England-for out Of door sports. She
rows she rides, she walks, and she wields the
lawn tennis racquet. She talks more about
these amusements than she does about moon
light, love and flowers. She is almost es
fond of animals as she is of men, and, in
short, she can amuse herself without men,
which the Ginger can not. She is not afraid
of being an old maid; the Ginger is; and she
the tailor maden-is quite as loath to
marry as the athletic young man, but when
she meets her fate she accepts it gracefully,
and makes quite as good wife and mother
as does the linger.-"Brunswick" in Boston

Amxing the Great Seal.

The secretary has no right to affix the great
seal to any paper without a warrant from
the president authorizing him to do so. This
warrant is always filed with the document so
sealed, and reads as follows:
authorize Grd direct the secretary Of state to
cause the great seal OF the United States to be
affixed to-whatcver document may be described
dated this day, and signed by me- and for so doing
this shall be the warrant.
GROVER CLEVELAND,
President of the United States
The great seal is affixed to nothing but
treaties, proclamations, commissions, par
dons and passports. The old seal, which had
been in use since the foundation of the gov
eminent, was worn out and replaced by an
other two years ago. 1t is q curious fact
that the old one that was used so long was
imperfect and never did answer to the de-
scription set down in the statutes Although
this seal is such solemn affair, and the
penalty for its improper use is SO tremendous,
it is left in charge of a clerk, just like any
other piece of furniture, and the secretary
seldom if ever sees it. In olden times the
seal used to be guarded with great vigilance,
as its appearance upon a document gave ID
the force of law, but now the people look in
the newspapers and not on q piece of parch-
ment for their information. With large
colony of correspondents az Washington,
there is little use of a seal to attest the
genuineness of documents, except as evidence
in courts.-New York Mail and Express.

the warm wave feels cool evenings breath;
White foam flakes with its blue commingle;
SOUL saddened in the hush Of death,
The tide lays gently on the shingle
A burden which it cherisheth.
The living locks of brown sea drift
With the dead locks of gold are weaving;
the clinging garments fan and lift
Responsive to the pillows heaving:
Low at my feet they stretch their gift.
Oh, first born love with death for bride!
Oh, starless night with far tomorrow
Oh, wailings of funeral tide
Filled with the endless oceans sorrow,
And by its beauty sanctifed!

Till deaths morn join our souls forever,

Men Who Get Side Tracked.

Perhaps the most numerous class OF men
who get side tracked are those who start in
life in an occupation for which they have no
natural aptitude. There are thousands Of
farmer boys who never should remain on the
farm-the loud protestations OF the agricult-
ural press to the contrary notwithstanding.
There are, doubtless, mea who make life
business Of stirring the sell when they
ought to be stirring the senate; and, on the
contrary, perhaps, there are men who are
trying to stir the senate who ought to be
stirring the soil Good business men are
frequently spoiled to make poor preachers;
and there are many large and heavy lawyers
who would make ideal blacssmiths; and
there are some slender and unsuccessful
blacksmiths with the keen logical brain and
the shrewd masterful mind OF the lawyer.
Such men are side tracked for life, unless
there is some great event crosses their track,
such as crossed the track Of Grant the team
ster, or Cromwell the country squire. But
no doubt there are many Grants who always
team, and many Cromwells who never leave
the farm. There are many men who start
out In life, like hunters, on the wrong trail
They never bring down their game because
their game has gone in another direction
They are like fishermen who bob for cCd in
. trout brook, CT start a-whAlins or an in
land pond

for life at their very birth They are born

A COUGH PREVENTING SCHOOL

How tho Advice Of PhysiciaDs ON This
Matter Il Made Practical.
| A physicians advice, not to cough when
| you want to cough, now being circulated in
| the newspapers, is believed to be sound by
some who have tried it. Mr.. Clark Bell, q
lawyer and president of the Medico-Le
society of this city, has had some experience
in suppressing the tendency to cough, which
| it is interesting to hear him relate He had
constant irritation in the throat and q
cough. Somebody told him Of teacher in
the art of show not to cough when you want
| to-" and to that teacher Mr.. Bell hied with
out delay. Sure enough, pupils, with all
brands of coughs attached to them, were
there to learn how to lay their bronchial
burdens down. Most Of them were men in
| the serious and learned professions and pur
suits Of life, and they acted like awkward
shamefaced schoolboys, knowing that they
were there to learn SO foolish, if not down.
right impossible, thing as getting the whip
hand of cough without medicine. Still.
there were stories Of others who had learned
| it, and these were the days of learning and
doing new things, SO they held themselves in
readiness to make rapid progress.
The teacher stood them in q row, made
them brace back their shoulders, hold up
their chins and draw in their abdomens,
This last was not easy Of accomplishment to
some Of them, who had previously permitted
their abdomens great license in the way of
development and obtrusiveness; but they
heroically made the attempt. When the class
was in order the teacher told them to sing
''Sweet Home" But they couldn't sing,
some Of them said. They must, the teacher
said. Finally they squeaked away, and then
their Threats began to cut up. The teacher
forbade any throat securing or coughing,
but told them to draw in long breath ard
hold it whenever they were tempted to cough.
After many failures they succeeded.
They met in class three times week, and
spent an hour in singing. Their throat
troubles soon retired under the overpowering
if not harmonious influence of their vocalizas
ton. They even flattered themselves that
they became pretty good singers. They were
forbidden to cough or scour their threats
when out of class. Mr. Bell said there were
hours when he would have given a years in
come for tho privilege Of tearing away ut his
throat in the old time fashion, but he wouldn't
yield to the temptation, and at last all throat
torment left him.
Another benefit which the exercises brought
to the most dubious OF the class. 1t reduced
them in girth several inches, for which they
were correspondingly grateful.-New York
