Detected by photographs.

During the last Belgian maneuvers,
General van der Smissen had ordered
some photographers to be stationed at
various points on the maneuvcr field.
AT the end of the operations he had the
proofs brought to him, and could there.

tions had been neglected. Thus at the
passage of ford he could see that many
soldiers, instead Of fastening their cart
ridge pouches to thei. rifles, as the in
structions prescribe, left them where
they were, whereby they got wet. He
also observed that no ropes were
stretched across tho stream to mark the
ford and to enable the soldiers to hold
fast on in case the current proved too
strong. A good many other things The

England's Ancient Throne.

The English throne, used in the coro-
nation ceremonies of the Kings and
Queens of Great Britain, and which is
SO splendid in its covering of rich silks,
velvets and gold, is, in fact, simply an
old oak chair Of antique pattern. 1t
has been used on all state occasions for
the last six hundred years, and perhaps
even longer, many reputable writer's
claiming that they have discovered
traces of its existence prior to the
eleventh century Ages of use have
made the old oak frame work as hard
and as tough as iron. The back and
sides of this chair-throne were formerly
painted in various colors, all of which
are now hidden by heavy bangings of
satin, silk and velvet. The magic power
attributed to the old relic lies in the
seat, which is made of heavy rough
looking sandstone, 26 inches in length,
nv inches in width, and 1919 inches in
thickness. Long before it was wrapped
in velvet and trimmed in gold to be used
by the Tudors and the Stuarts, this old
stone of stones served as seat during
the coronations of ths early Scottitb
Kings.-New Review.

Daisy Murdock did not lack courage
when the proper moment came to exer-
else 1t fully. 1t was short run, but a
veritable run for life and liberty The
Indians fired several times after her, but
her STOPPING motion had made the shots
rattle harmlessly over her head. She
was soon clasped safely in Harry's arms,
which quickly placed er, almost faint
ing, within the fort.
Then began siege which lasted one
week. Many Indians were killed, but
small bands would each day come along,
and thus keep the besiegers reinforced.
As had been expected, the Sioux found
the quarry back of the milll-house, and
began an attack from that quarter. The
torpedo was exploded at the right mo-
ment, killing several and severely
wounding dozen. They tried in every
way to burn them out, but with no sue
cess.
When the number of Sioux had in
creased to one hundred, and the whites
had begun to consider their case hope
less one, troops came and drove the red
men away.
For miles and miles the direst devas-
tation had been wrought to the homes
on these prairies. Not building re-
mained; only ashes and blacl1ened ruins
marked the spots where happy homes
had once been.
Daisy Murdock's home had been
burned, her father butchered before her
own eyes, and she had been taken cap
tive.
BY making their fight there on the
prairie they had, no doubt, held large
force of the Sioux from committing
countless other bloody depredations on
other settlers.
In due time their homes were rebuilt,
and they were again prosperous. Harry
and Daisy never forget to lift grateful
hearts to Providence for their preserva-
ton during the terrible Sioux outbreak.

part of his evidence. The lawyer had
had a plan of the place prepared. He

CATARRIT.
Catarrhal Deafness-Hay Fever-A New
Home Treatment.

Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases arc contagious, or that they
are due to the presence of living parasites
in the lining membrane of the nose and
eustachan tubes Microscopic research,
however, has proved this to be fact and
the result of this discovery is that simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.
N. B.-This treatment is not snuff or an
ointment; both have been discarded by
reputable physicians as injurious. A pamph'
let explaining this new treatment is sent on
receipt of three cents in stamps to pay
postage by A. H. Dixon & Son, cor of John
and King Street, Toronto, Canada.-Chris-

THE BONNER STABLES.
Tho Famous Horses of the Rich Publish
er are Well Cared For.

cr are Wei Cared For.
Mr.. Bonner goes to church in DR..
Halls fashionable Presbyterian temple
on Fifth avenue, and Immediately be-
hind it stand his handsome stables,
which, like the church, are built of
brick and overgrown with vines. He is
regular attendant on Sundays upon
DIR. Halls ministrations, and a still more
regular attendant upon Maud S. He
paid Vanderbilt $4,000 for her, and
when the latter repented of his bargain
and offered him 5000 to get the light
heeled lady back he utterly refused to
consider the question of parting from
his equine charmer, and has steadily re-
fused every offer since.
They say at the stables that Maud is
provided for in the rich publishers will,
and whether helives or dies she will pass
all her days in luxury and ease. 1mme-
diately after church he steps around to
the stables to see how she is and give
her lump of sugar, while she rubs her
velvet nose on his shoulders and makes
little feminine sounds of pleasure. She
is very fond of Bonner as her master and
proprietor, but her real love is Murphy,
the jockey, whose very step she knows,
though she only sees him once in a long
while. She never forgets him, no mat
ter how much time elapses between
their meeting.
Another famous horse in these Bon
ner stables is Rarus, who has developed
shocking temper and pair of tender
feet in his declining years, and is really
of very little service, though Bonner
loves and cares for him for the wonder
full horse he has been, for that matter
still is, barring these little discrepan-
cies Dexter died in these stables, and,
indeed, old horsemen are inclined to
take off their hats in passing the place
from reverential feeling that this is n
sort of shrine of American horsehesh,
while Bonner himself feels that respect
for himself only possible to the man
who has been the owner of three of the
most famous horses in the world. Maud
wears a blanket embroidered with this
legend: 'Maud S.; Queen of the Turf"
and above her hangs the only whip
with which she was ever struck, on the
day that she made her great unbroken
record. This whip is the property of
her adored Murphy, who keeps it as a
precious relic. Perhaps she loves him
best because he is the only man who
ever struck her-Brooklyn Eagle.
