The Badges Power.

There is a great deal Of subtle power in
badge, a uniform or q title. To the truth Of
this statement there is well known German
here in town who is willing to testify. He
came to this country before the war from
small town in Germany and located in Chi
cago When the war broke out he enlisted
in an Illinois regiment, served through to the
close and attained the rank of sergeant
After the war he returned to Chicago and
started in the livery business. He allowed
his military associations to fade away, joined
no veteran associations and attended strictly
to business In the course Of a few years Of
hard work he amassed little fortune Of
some 10000, and he resolved to take his
family back to his native town in the old
country for a visit.
Es expected to cut very wide swath
among his old friends in the little German
village, as he could pose as the wealthiest man
within its borders; but to his great surprise he
attracted very little attention. The people
there knew be had gained wealth, but he was
without title or decoration, and these count
for more than wealth over there He was
sadly put out at his treatment and said he re-
manned awake nights endeavoring to think
how he could create an impression. Finally
a brilliant idea seized him. He packed up at
once and returned to Chicago. Here he
hunted up his discharge papers and joined a
Grand Army post. As soon as he had become a
member in good standing he pinned the G. a
R. badge upon his breast and sailed back to
Germany. The people IN the little town
were won over by the badge, and the Chicago
man was ionized to his hearts content Such

FsA cy Nall Decoration on Wood-An Old
Style of Handiwork Revived.

FsA cy Nall Decoration on Wood-An Old
Style of HandiwOrk Revived.
New and taking in decorative work is sur
face ornamentation of wood in geometricaI
patterns formed with fancy nails. This is
a revival of an old art of which specimens
are on antique chests and boxes of English
workmanship. 1t is now applied to various
fancy articles such as jewel boxes, book
covers, music portfolios, photograph, mirror
and picture frames, book racks, reading
desks, screens, etc.
The work is very easy to carry out, and if
carefully done has good effect. The only
tools required are a hammer and a pricker.
Soft wood like pine, alder or lime, about half
an inch thick, ought to be chosen, and the
surface can either be stained, enameled, or
covered with plush, velvet, cloth, felt or
leather. The design is first marked on tissue,
tracing or thin note paper, and fixed to the
surface of the wood with drawing pins.
Each point, where nail head is to appear,
has to be pricked in the wood, more or less
deep according to the size Of the nail. The
nail is then inserted in the prick hole with
the fingers, but not finally fixed with the
hammer until all the nails have been placed
and the paper beneath removed. To prevent
the nail spikes from bending, and the nail
heads from being injured, a fat piece of wood
ought to be interposed between the nail heads
and the hammer. The nails are the same as
those which upholsterers use, and of many
shapes, in yellow or white metal, silvered or
gilt, in bronze or oxidized blue color and in
black. The color Of the nails depends on the
color of the material which is to be decorat-
ed. Much work is done with simply the Or
binary brass headed fqSniture nail, which is
always easily obtainable, and it furnishes
very effective ornamentation with small out
lay of trouble and expense.

whining at my feet and hurled him straight
at the Hons head. The next instant the
brute's strong, red jaws were crushing the
dogs carcass between them
There was brighter glare Of the torches,

bullet crashing through the lions brain, the

two that were real music to my ears.
was indeed forlorn looking object when
they dragged me out Of the pit, begrimed
with dirt and pale from excitement; but
was able to pun myself together again in, a
little while.
Ny shoulder, though somewhat bruised by
the lions jaws, was not seriously hurt, and
in few days was all right again.
The roaring of the beasts had brought my
friends to the rescue, though old Heckhnger
said he had not expected to find me alive.
We got two fine lions skins, and made a
discovery while pulling the dead beast out OF
the pit that delighted me.
The small animal that had tumbled into
the pit proved to be a fine young whelp of
the honess, and you may be sure I claimed
him as my own.
The little rascal showed fight in g mild
way, but the natives soon captured him, and
cared for him till we got back to the settle
ment, where I had nice cage made for him.
On the voyage home he grew finely, and
became great favorite on shipboard, finally
netting me handsome sum when sold him
to Snowman, a year later; but am free to
confess that the showman's whole menagerie
would not induce me to repeat that awful
nights experience in the pit in South Africa

In the pleading deeps of thy childish eyesf
Are the serpents of sin but asleep in the lair
Thou hast twined for them here in thy radiant
hair?
Is It blood Of thy victims that rippies and drips
Through roses OF ruin, TO laugh on thy hpsE
What strange, sweet presence of evil Is thine,
Thus dainty, and deadly, oh, sister of mine?
While our virtues but reign among virtues de-
throned
And tie rod all forborne, and the crime all con-
doned,
And the sin and the tear, and the rain. and the
flowers
But make up the sum OF this being Of ours;
What terrors have seized thee what ills beyond
prayer,
Oh. Priestess of Sorrow, Of raiment so rare.
That paught may atone for this sweet sin of
thine,
Though bitter the penance be, sister Of miner
Thou vert artless through storms of hot pulses to
shun,
Where Love and her sister embraced and were
And the woman OF messaly, casting her stone,
Wears the scorn Of thy guilt as screen for her
Yet thy kis-betrayed womanhood shanneth its foe
IN the crust thou has shared with the sister in
woe,
In the pearss of sweet pity and patience that
shine
Through the wreck of thy purity, sister Of mine
Ln, bud may be bruised, yet the spring is not
DONE
And the day does not die for spot on the sun;
And the penitent prayer and the Christening tear
Are but frozen to hate by the merciless sneeri
Obi the pity OF wine that to hemiock is turned
And tho iii that is born when the good is once
spurned,
For the deeps Of my being are mirrored in thine

The two brutes kept up continuous roar
ing and growing for long time, the one in

Ny cries were answered by the trampiny

Then heard old Heckhnger's voice crying
out:
