PuNIsHiNo A PRINCE.

An Anccdote Told at tho Expense Of
Emperor williams Brother.
The Empress Victoria, wife of the
late Emperor Frederick, OF Germany,
has always been a careful and keen-eyed
disciplinarian in domestic life. She
notices the slightest variation in the
dress of q house-maid, as quickly as she
used to detect fault in her children,
and Furnishes one as fnexorably as the
other.
Prince Henry. the brother Of the
present Emperor. had. when small
boy, the greatest objection to his daily
bath, and the nursery bccame every
morning the scene Of vigorous and
fearful struggle, on his part, against
tubing" His mother tried in vain to
persuade him that baths were in
evitable, and that he must submit to
them, but she finally gave tho nurse
orders. ono morning, to let him have
his own way.
Prince Henry, confident that he had
gained remarkable victory, was ex-
ultant and when he set out for his
morning walk, took no pains to conceal
his triumph. He INDUCED in sundry
haunting remarks to his attendants, but
on returning home, he was surprised to
notice that the sentinel ct the gate did
not present arms as he passed
On reaching tho palace, he found
second sentinel equally remiss, and.
knowing, as we'll as any Of his punctili-
GUS race, what was due to his rank, the
little fellow walked up to the man.
and asked, severely: do you know
who ann?
Hes, Hoheit," said the man, stand

"Who am l?''

why don't you salute. thenT
Because we do not present arms TO
an unwashed Prince" replied the man,
who had received his orders from the
Princes mother.
The little fellow said not Q word, but
walked on. bravely winking back the
two big tears which filled his eyes. Next
morning, however. be took his bath
with perfect docility. and was never

4 scheme which Benefited No Ono But
the 0ste-Keeper.
"When the toll-gates were in opera
ton on the turnpike" said farmer,
there were two men who laid in with
one of the toll-gate keepers to make life
miserable for each other, and neither
knew of the others scheme.
One said to the toll-gate keeper:
Here's dollar for you. Now, every
time A passes through the gate you ask
him what's the matter; tell him he looks
thin and wan, and ask him who his doc
tor is.'
"The next day A came along, and the
toll-gate keeper went through the for
malities as directed, and A was consid-
erably exercised and looked at himself
frequently in the glass during the day.
The next day A had occasion to 20 to
town again. and stopped and chatted
with the toll-gate keeper, told him he
felt we'll, ate we'll and slept we'll, but he
thought he felt change In his physi-
cal condition, and perhaps his clothes

Now, said he to the toll-rate keeper.

THE toll-gate man nodded all right
and three or four days after B came
along, having forgotten about his bar

Hello, Mr.. B. said the toll-Qats
keeper, Mrs b was at our house and
she told mother she was worried about

To abbreviste and neglect the forms

As soon ~ one ceases to express out

tion In InfAntry Arms.
In future wars ~ the bullets will
have much greater penetrative power,
and will therefore be less readily stopped
by covering obstacles, whether natural
or artificial. a. The trajectory is fat
tened; that Is, the bullets at decisive
battle ranges rise less above the ground,
thus not only widening the dangerous
space and reducing the number Of misses
due to defective estimate of distance.
but also extending point-bank range.
and thus in measure doing away with
adjustment of the sights under heavy
IRE. (S.) The power of firing few
rounds with excessive rapidity when
needful will make charges more bloody
than ever before. Every rush in the
close approaches to a position defended
even by . thin line Of skirmishers will
be met by yolleys more intolerable than
the heaviest fire Of q line Of battle
twenty-five years ago. (4.J The reduc-
ton in weight Of ammunition will en-
able the soldier to carry about double

ingly greater ease. (5.} The use of
smokeless powder will make It more
easy to overlook the ground In front by
reason Of the absence Of the clouds Of
smoke that heretofore have spread .
merciful veil between modern armies in
the death struggle; but ON the other
hand. the readfest mode of detocfin,
the precise position Of the enemy-his
puffs Of smoke-will be lacking, and

skirmishers will probably~be more FREE

who tight steadily In battle turn faint

The State Of Arkansas makes an hon
est effort to tax equally everything Of
value within her borders, the tax rate
being for general State purposes, 2mills
on the dollar, a like sum being levied for
common school purposes, and ~ mills
raised by officers fees, sale and redemp-
ton of lands, licenses, taxes and fees
from insurance companies, lease Of the
penitentiory, etc. This makes State
tax of about 63 cents ON the 500 worth
of property as returned by the tax as
SCISSOR, and it may be fairly assumed
that the taxes required for county pur-
poses amount to about the same rate, or
q total for State and County Of ~ per
