A STATUE commemOratlng touch
ing little episode in the life of the Late
German Emperor Frederick is about
to be erected at Kaiserslauten. When
Frederick was Crown Prince he visited
one of the orphan asylums of that
town. Among the children was a
sickly and sad-faced little boy. Fred
enck noticed him, took him in his
arms, and thereupon agreed to become
his godfather. The child, to whom a
caress was stranger, appeared some
what frightened at first, but soon got
over his difficulty and began to play with
the Princes medals and decorations.
The statue in question will represent
the Prince with a baby in his arms
and the youngster tugging at his
cordons and crosses.

THE R.IGPICKERS' VILLA.

Back of the Orleans railway station
and only few moments walk from the
famous Garden of Plants, is a little
settlement called the Ragpickers' villa.
The streets are alleyways, and the
houses, which are about the size of rab-
bit hutches, are marvels of quaintness.
They are built of sticks and pieces of
laths and boards, and rooted with bits
of sardine and tobacco boxes. These
are the little patchwork palaces OF
scores OF Partisan rag pickers, and there
these hard working, honest toilers find
rest with their families after the labore
of the day and night. They are queer
specimens of humanity, to be sure. 1t
is the village of want and squaloY
within the metropolis of wealth and
fashion, and no more like Paris than a
settlement of another sphere. A more
curious and interesting spot cannot be
found in any city in the world. 1t is,
perhaps, an open question whether
there is more happiness in the humble
huts of the lowly chiffoniers than in the
stately structures in the more wealthy
quarters.

4 WISE DOG.

A farmer who had sold flock of
sheep to dealer lent him his dog to
drive them distance of thirty miles,
desiring him to give the dog a meal at
the journeys end and tell it to go home
The drover found the dog so useful that
he resolved to steal it, and, instead of
sending it back, locked it up. The col
lie grew sulky and at last effected it's
escape Evidently deemiug the drover
had no more right to detain the sheep
than he had to detain himself, the honest
creature went into the field, collected
all the sheep that had belonged to his
master, and, to that persons intense
astonishment, drove the whole flock
home again.

DTGNTFIED,

An English clergyman relates that

ing AlabIose's coffee-house in Edinburg,
the house made famous by John Wilson
in his "Noctes Ambrosian@. To his
surprise he found old Mr.. Ambrose not
at all proud of the celebrity which had
been conferred upon his establishment.
On the contrary, he had taken it into
his head to be highly indignant at be
ing thus put into literature.
What right had Mr.. Wilson to talk
about me?' he said. Il tell you what l
am sir; I'm an individual"
1t is not clear what he meant by this
but he repeated the statement again and
again, with evident satisfaction. The
clergymen thinks that the Scotch are
rather fond of hard words. He once asked
station-master whether the 3 :25 train
went to Campsie.
DO you want to SO to Campsie?" an
swered the official. The express does
not stop at Campsie. The 1910 train
stops there"
The clergyman repeated his inquiry,
Does the 3: 20 train stop at Campsie?"
Such impertinence was more than the
station-agent could bear.
Nov, look here" he said, looking
very angry, do you think am going to
be your-your-your amanuensis?"
He brought out the word with crush
ing dignity, and left the inquirer, as he
himself confesses, morally PROSTATE.

An Anecdote of sheridan.

While the United States was engaged in.
the great Civil war, France and Austria
took advantage of our comparatively help
less condition to attempt the conquest of
Mexico, with a view to construct new en-
pire there under Macmillan. Gen. Grant
was strongly opposed to this policy, and
after Appomattox sent Sheridan with an
army to the lower Rio Grande to observe
the movements of the foreigners, and to be
in readiness to intervene whenever con-
gress gave permission,
An orderly woke the colonel soon after
daylight one morning and urged him to go
down to the bank of the river, as some
thing remarkable was going on there.
The colonel did so, and had the gratifica-
ton of seeing a cOmbat-it could hardly be
called a battle - between the national
troops, the adherents of JuareZ, and the
MeXicans who were serving under the ban
ner of MaXimilian and who were in posses.
sion of Matamoras The object of the
Juarez troops was, of course, to drive the
enemy from MatamoraS and hold the
place, as, owing to its proximity to the
United States forces, it was q very import
ant point. Each side seemed to be fortified,
and was engaged in contest at long
range, which WAS neither very exciting
nor destructive.
The next morning the orderly came again
to wake the colonel, and assured him that
he would see some genuine fighting The
colonel. hurried down to the bank, and
there he saw the Juarez men leave their
intrenchments, advance with the utmost
intrepidity, storm the works at MatamOras,
and drive the adherents of Macmillan
through the town and far beyond out into
the open country. OF course Sheridan
could not send force to the other side of
the river without the authority of congress
and the war department. would have
been an unheard of proceeding. What he
did do was to give one of his brigades a
leave of absence, and that settled the ques-
ton so far as Matamoras was concerned

''If people were only taught half so much

are about sunstroke," said Officer Mulver.
hill the other day, 1--WE would not often
hear of a case of hydrophobia. A good
thing to know is that a mad dog never
turns aside from the course he is running
TO bite anybody. So if one is right in the
path of rabid animal he can get out of
all danger by jumping to one side and out
of the path Of the dog
But if it is absolutely impossible TO get
out of the way the man or woman should
stand perfectly still and face the dog. He
will turn aside then himself and run in a
different direction, while if the person in
front of him screams and runs away, as
nine out of ten will do, the dog will over
take and bite the victim. OF course it re-
uuires courage to stand still and face a
rabid dog, terrible rs this animal always
looks, but the results show that the real
danger lies in taking flight. "--Pittsburg

THE MURDERER IN COURT.

BIwamist Day Held for Pushing His
wife over . PrscIpIOe.
NIAGARA FALLS, Aug. 12. -'Killed by
being thrown over the bank by her
husband, Arthur Hoyt Day." was the
verdict In the preliminary examina-
tion of the murder case brought to
light Sunday, and Mrs. Mary Quig1ey,
sister of the dead woman's husband,
was held as a witness.
EARLY in the day the accused man,
Arthur Day, was brought to Niagara
Falls, Ont, where the examination was
held. The clothes of his wife were
brought into court, but he appeared not
to recognize them. He listened to the
testimony of his sister without q change
in his features, afterward questioning
her on some points. He strongly re-
sembles Birchell, the murderer of F. G.
Benwell, who coolly stood his trial in
the same court room last spring. The
body of the murdered woman was buried
at Niagara Falls. Day was taken to the
county jail at Welland to await trial
