One Hundred Years Ago.

There were no burglar and fro
proof safes in those days. 1t is not
much over fifty years ago that % bank
in Southern Vermont kept its treasures
in an oak chest about two by four feet.
This chest was made Of two thicknesses
OF oak plank bolted together and
studded with nails rivited on the in
side and locked with a paddock about
the size of a bakery pie. The first
patent for a fire-proof safe was issued
in this country to Daniel Fitzgerald in
1Si3. This patent was assigned to B.
j. Wilder, and the safes made under it
were known as "Wilder's patent
safes" In this safe the walls were
made hollow, the principal involved
being the well known non-conductine
properties OF common air. After this
asbestos mixed with plaster OF paris
was used. A burglar-proof lock was
invented by n man named Bramot
and claimed to be "nonpickable,n but
one Hobbs picked it in 1851. Tho
Yale lock was invented in 1913 and
held sway Until it "a picked by his
son. improvements have gone on,
however, until fire and burglar proof
safes, s0-called, are 'ound not only in
stores generally, but in very many
private residences Chicago News.

MONOTONY IN MUSTACHES.
An Englishman Signs for a Change In
Facial Ornaments.

When mustaches and shaven cheeks
were few in this country ! held my
peace, but now that they have become
universal | venture to PROFOUND the
respectful inquiry whether this be a
kind Of facial decoration which really
suits the Anglo-Saxton ~countenance?
My idea is that a thin, pale dark mar
looks well with mustaches and shaver
checks, especially if he have "a nose OF
some sort. But as anation (there arc,
of course, honorable exceptions, as for
example, the Chancellor of the Elk.

and our cheeks are, for the most part,
fat and red, and our eyes are not at all
fierce and romantic, but light-colored
and usually meaningless.
Now, whether this cast OF counte.
nance is suitable TO the brigand style

question. / venture to suggest that

LAKES DRYING UP,
Disappearance of Large Sheets of Wat

disappearance OF Large Sheets of Water
in Oregon and Nevada.
The lakes in Eastern Oregon, as well
as in Nevada, are drying up. In some
instances the water in the lakes is sub
siding Uuouuso the streams which
empty into them have been diverted
from their natural channels for the
purposes OF irrigation, but the continu-
Gus drought, doubtless, has had much
TO do with the low stage of water in
them. The Herald, published in tho
new county OF Harvey, Oregon, says
not over four square miles of the orig
inal bed of Warner Lake is now COW
cred with water, whereas in 1865,
there were seven feet OF water where
the land is now dry, and this spring a
stack of 300 tons Of hay was burned on
land which in 1874 was surveyed as

boldt Lake, which some years ago
comprised a sheet of water sixteen or
eighteen miles long and from eight to
twelve miles wide, is now only a few
miles long and perhaps a mile or two
wide. The Humboldt has not dis
charged any water into the lake for
several years, and a largo area, which
was covered several feet with water at
one time, is now as dry as any other
part of the Humboldt Valley. 1t is n
fact, however, that the lake was as
ten years ago as it is to-day. and that
five years ago it was as high us it was
over known to be. Immigrants in
early days who saw the Humboldt dis
charge an immense volume OF water
into the lake, or sink, as it was called,
believed it had a subtc-ranean outlet;

THE GIANT
Something About the Crack Organization
of the Prussian Army.

Of the Prussian Army.
A Berlin correspondent OF the New
York Tribune, writing OF that giant
regiment SO familiar to every school,
boy, says; A quarter of an hour later.
the guests were summoned to take their
places on the edge of one OF the ter
races, at the foot of which was drawn
up the regiment of footguards. 1t
was the favorite regiment OF the
great Kings of Prussia, tho one
for which they spent such large sums
in order to obtain giants. There is
not a man in the ranks under six foot
in height, and when, as yesterday,
they were dressed in their parade uni
forms, the very same as those worn in
the time OF Frederick the Great, white
breeches, high white CATERS COM

leges possessed by this, the crack regi-
ment of the Prussian army. is the one
that every Prince ofthe royal house of
Hohonzollern shall begin his military
career in its ranks. Hence the first,
second and third companies are officer
ed almost exclusively by the near rel
atives of the sovereign.
As soon as the Empress and guests
had taken their places on the terrace,
the playing of the national hymn by
the regimental band announced the
approach of the Emperor, who canter-
ed up on amagnificent charger, attended
by a brilliant suite and wearing the
uniform OF Il General of infantry.
After riding along the ranks and close
ly inspecting the appearance of the
men, he refined up his horse in front of
the troops, and in a few well-chosen
words eXhorted the regiment carefully
to guard and preserve the new flag
which he 10Y intrusted to
their charge. As he uttered
the last words, the color company was
seen marching down the steps of the
terrace from the palace. with the new
flag in its midst. As it passed the
Emperor he saluted it with his sword,
bending at the same time his head low
on his horses neck, and the entire
regiment remained at present arms.
As soon as the color company had
taken up its position On the right flank
Of the regiment, the Colonel galoped
up TO the Emperor, and, after saluting,
expressed the thanks of the First
for the honor conferred upon
hem by His Majesty. The Emperor,
who looked much pleased, acknowl.
his thanks by extending his
hand to the Colonel, which the latter
