Williams I;ebuke 10 His Guard.

Iheard the other day good story ot the German Emperor, writes Henry Labouchere During the recent maaeuvers he was riding with his staff and came across two huge wagons on the Berlin road. Asking where they were going, the drivers replied that they were carrying food for the officers of the Guard. On this he ordered them back to Berlin. In the evening he went to the portion of the ground where the Guard was camped and found the officers hanging about, looking, like Sister Anne, along the Berlin road with hungry air. What is tho matterl1 he asked. They said that their provisions had not arrived and that they were to reach tiiem from Berlin ia a small cart. II have just ridden along the Berlin road. said tine Emperor, and can assure you that there was no cart; but met two huge wagons, which were bringing provisions for the officers Of some regiment. and, as ! thought that officers and soldiers ought to fare alike during the maneuverS, gent them back lo Berlin

QUEER BRONSON ALcoTL
How a Shrewd Western Lady Once Made
 Him Eat Beef Juice.


 Mr. Kennedy's recent Concord anecdotes have brought to the Boston Transcripts Listeners hopper the following story about A. Bronson Alcott. Mr. Alcott was known to be utterly opposed to the eating of meat-a stuct vegetarian. Nothing would arouse his indignation quicker than to bring forward the idea that i5was the de sign of Providence for man to subsist on animal food He even refused to taste os an egg. Some twelve or fifteen years ago he was 2 welcome visitor in many of the cities of the West. His coming was hailed with de light. Dinners were given and clubs ex tended thelr invitations He was ready to talk and others were glad to listen.
 During one of these visits he was un usually pale and weary His hostess rallied him upon his favorite theory of vegetable diet.
 l" Mr. Alcott. if you would oniy live as we do you would be strong and robust" :he said, and the old gentleman, with placid smile, made his usual reply:
 And be in danger of becoming a brute ';
 He was a connolsseur in the cooking of oatmeal, of which he always partool in the morning. At this time the lady, feeling sure'that his health was seriously impaired, resolved to take charge herself of his break fast. She sent tor pound of beef, had it slightly cooked, the juice extracted and well stirred into dish of oatmeal Mir Alcott ate with unusual relish, and dis coursed elcqUently upon the virtue of grain that waved in the sun and air. The next morning the same dish was repeated, and throughout his stay he partOok of the pud- ding and beef juice.
 It was noticeable that he gained rapidly in health and flesh. and became thoroughly satisfied with the Western climate. Before he left he remarked:
 "Your oatmeal has been very strength ening. You must tell me just how it is made. and l must take awaya package of the meal"
 "Mr. Alcott," was the reply, there is genius in good cooking, and it IS hard to impart it. Only come again and you will find the dish equally palatable''
 Some days after he had returned home, rested and refreshed, Mrs. R. related the story in great glee to herown club.

Discovery of nn OAd Coin.

4 curious coin was recently dug up near Bayshore, L. I. No one seems to know it's value or what the designs mean. The coin is of copper, about the size of an old-fash- toned copper cent. On ono side it las the legend, United States of America '' on the outside edge of the coin. Inside this is tic typical laurel wreath, and in this circle the words, Liberty. 1898 '' The other sIde of the coin is entirely strange. The kneeling figure of woman. with uplifted hands, from which fall the links of a chain. Around the figure are the words: Am Not Woman and a Sister 1S3S .'

A FEMALE DRUMMER.
Pen Picture of the Only Successful Travel


 ing Saleslady in the Country.
 was in the dry-goods district of New York one cay when friend of mine intro duced me to one who, so far as 1 know, is the only successful travellng saleslady in this country, writes "Ei,iot' in the Chi cago Gr0cer, She has just returned from a very successful Western trip, and was enthusiastic abolt just three things; first, herself as woman drummer; second, the cordial reception she has just received at the hands of tue people in the West; and third. the West and Western folks in gen eral, including general buyers and gentle manly hotel clerks.
 IfIwcre writing a sensational police re- port, would say right here that this lady is pretty. and go into a general exclamation point over the color of her eyes. comeliness of her figure and tangle your imaginations ali up in nut-brown curls or auburn tresses But truth compels me to desist. For the facts in the case are that she $ not what IS commonly called pretty at all. In the place Of it is truly womanly bearing, char acter, and an ease and grace Of manner, coupled with conversational powers that would make the meanest man on earth double his orders, if he had to have an auction sale to clean up his stock the next day. Travehng as an industry has long been pre-empied by horny-fsted, cheeky, hard-hearted men, so that it has been re garded as next to impossible for woman to achieve success on the road. The tucked, ruffled and ribboncd fraternity have had no chance. Popular opinion, however, may be all wrong. There certainly are certain classes of goods, as ladies' clothing. mill. inery, furs, gloves, etc, that ladies, it seems to me, might sell on the road and meet with great success. One of the part ners in the house told me that this lady seemed to be able to bear the hardshps of the business as bravely as her fellow sales men, and he said tue firm are more than pleased with her work.

Swiss Scholars IEear sIipners.

In one Of the cantons of Switzerland the public educational authorities celebrate the approach of the wet season by providing each of the young scholars with a pair of slippers, which the children bring with them in the morning and wear indoors dur ing the day, while their damp boots are be, ing dried at the fire. Thus the chances of their catching cold are reduced to mini mum, and the result is, Of course, -gUeatcr comfort to the youngsters, much rcHcl from anxiety on the part of the parents. and, it may be assumed, corresponding regularity in school attendance.

BATTLE BETWEEN BIRDS.
A Hawk Engages in Tight with Flock
 of Wild Ducks.


 of Wild Ducks.
 The time was toward the close of the day and the place a cove on Moosehead, says a writer in the Lewiston (Me.) JOu1ndl. 4 railroad man and myself were padding down, and were quite near the shore. Across the water in front of Us, and well down went q flock of ducks, ten or twelve in number. and these passed into the cove, toward which we silently padded, hoping to get q shot. Rounding the point a strange sight met our eyes. The ducks had settled, but the head and neck Of each were stretched upward. They were huddled closely to gether and were evidently much excited. though it was plain to be seen that their alarm was not on our account. Glancing upward there was seen overhead monster hawk perched upon dead tree, and at this instant. like flash from the sky, he darted with closed wings at the birds below. Down they went. The hawk struck water with q splash. rose agyn and hung suspended iu mid air Soon a duck came up, and down again Ihc hawk dartcd. Time and again this was repeated; meanwhile my com panion explained the situation. ''The ducks are in hole. Could they once get wing and headway the hawk could not catch a feather. But they must first skim the water when they fly, and here the big fcl- low could take them. He will get one be- fore they get out of this cove or drown the lot''
 The prediction was to prove partly true At last the hawk was too quick for one of two ducks who fouled (no joke intended) each other as they were about to dive, and fastened his claws to ere. But the duck had got head downward, the hawk had Q downward momentum, too, and both disap- peared under the water. It seemed min ute before any thing was seen, save the rest of the flock, who, coming to the surface, and not seeing their enemy, took wing at once. First came the bird of prey to the surface, and with a labored effort he rose to his old perch Soon after came the duck. She struggled to rise, failed, and then we shot her. It was a strong battle, and my com panion explained to me that had the ducks not been diverted in their attention to busi- ness by our canoe and it's occupants they would not have settled in the hawk trap.

Society has been decidedly quiet dur

loved themselves at Malcolm'S hall yes

the season. Society girls have been
conspicuous by their absence from even
the promenadeS and dry goods stores.
There is an unkind rumor to the effect
that they staid home to eat the green
and festive onion, but the rumor has
not been officially confirmed.
Spring millinery has bloomed forth
in the most luXuriant fashion during
when the snow covered the ground yes
terday. The spring wrap and hat
bloom inside the stores much more sue
ceSSfully than elsewhere this season.
The people who can't afford anything
new are glad of this sort of weather,
but it's positively annoying to those
who have invested their shekelS in
spring novelties and now wish that
they had waited. The milliners say
that flowers will be the most stylish
decoration for hats during the coming
season. Whole CROWNS and brims are
composed of large roses and peoples,

will be much worn with black lace.

THE BASE BALL PARK.
What Some Of the MinneapOli:
Editors Think Of the Question.


Petitions in favor of the proposed es-
Enlistment OF a centrally lOca ted base
ball park are being signed by the people
of all classes. No reasonable grounds
for opposition have yet appeared.-The
Spectator.
The people of Minneapolis not only
favor base ball park but they favor
one located near the center of the city
if the names attached to the petition
for it indicate popular sentiment. The
kick against the base ball park which
has developed in the council committee
is not based ON good sense. There is
not half the danger in a ball ground
that there is in the old piles of lumber.
rubbish. etc, that have numbered the
place 10 these many years.-The Regis
ter.
There are certainly enough admirers
of the national game in this city who
desire the ball park to be located OH
First avenue north between Fifth and
Sixth streets to convince the council
that this location is one that Will suit
the majority of people. The names of
those who have signed the petition are
legion. With central location, base
ball in Minneapolis might be success.
