No Salute.

Apropos Of the meeting between
the Queen and the Empress Fred
erick at Darinstadt, | am reminded OF
the following story, which IN charac-
teristic OF her Majesty's eldest daugh-
ter's notions and practice OF discipline:
Prince Henry, the brother ofthe pres
ent Emperor, had, when n small boy,
the greatest objection TO his daily
bath, and the nursery became every
morning the scene OF n vigorous
and fearful struggle on his part
against Tubing. His mother tried
in vain TO persuade him that baths
were inevitable and that he must sub
nit 10 them, but she finally gave the
nurse orders one morning TO let him
have his way.
Prince Henry, confident that he
had gained remarkable victory,
was exultant, and when he set out
for his morning walk took no pains
TO conceal bis triumph. He iDdnlged
in sundry taunting remarks to his at-
tendants but on returning home he
was surprised TO notice that the SEN
tinel at the gate did not present arms
a. he passed. On reaching the palace
he found second sentinel equally re-
miss, and knowing a. well a. any OF
his punctillious, military race what
was due to his rank, the little fellow
walked up to the man and asked Sc
verely: do you know who ] amf
"Yes, Hobeit," said the sentinel.
standing motionless. who AIN j 2
''Prince Heinrich" why don't you
salute. thenr' Because we do not
present arms TO an unwashed Prince y
replied the sentinel, who had received
his orders from the Princes mother.
The little fellow said not word, but
walked on, brayely winking back
the two big tears which hlled his
eyes. Next morning, however, he took
his bath with perfect docility, and
was never known to complain OF IL
again.

How to Get Along Well.

Pay as you go.
Never fool in business matters.
Do not kick every one in your path.
Learn to think and act for yourself.
Keep ahead rather than behind the
times.
Don't stop to tell stories in business
hours.
Have order, system, regularity and
promptness.
Use your own brains rather than
those of others.
Do not meddle with business you
know nothing of.
A man OF honor respects his word
as he does his bond.
No man can get rich by sitting
around stores and saloons.
IL you have a place OF business, be
found there when wanted.
Learn TO say no. No necessity OF
swapping it out dog-fashion, but say
it firmly and respectfully.
Help others when you can, but
never give what you cannot afford to,
simply because it is fashionable.

"He is also business man" re-
piled his mate, "and the first thing
you know you will be turned into
porter-house steak. Better do as !

Being lean and tough will not save
you" replied his neighbor, FOR you
will in that case be sold to the

us both, | shall be ahead, as AN

A Toltec City Uncovered,


Aletter from Fort Davis, Texas, says:
"A strange discovery has been made
by surveying party Of the Kansas
City, FL Paso and Mexican Railroad
at point in Southern New Mexico,
not very far from Las Cruces. Here,
amid a tremendous lava flow, veri-
table sea OF obsidian or black glass, a
hidden city has been discovered. Ii
is probably of Toltec origin, a race Of
people who lived and died before the
new world was thought OF. The sur
round ing country is the most desc
late and God-forsaken region one can
imagine. There is no soil about it.
The obsidian, molten and black,
at the NOM en- of cooling evidently
became agitated, for il now lies in
ragged waves and billows offantastic
shape, some OF the ridges from twelve
10 fourteen feet high, and capped
crest Of greenish white. The action
of the winds and elements Il mean
the dry, parching blasts OF tremen-
dous force) have literally burned
some parts of this region into pow
dered dust. At the northern extremi-
", where the unknown city lies part
ly uncovered, the ruins Of gigantic
stone buildings peep forth into the
light Of day. Some OF these buildings
are simply tremendous, One, which
appears 10 have been sort OF am
phitheatre or colosseum, covers
about four acres, and was certainly
constructed in most substantial
manner Perhaps IL was used for bull
fights or athletic sports, the same as
the ancient Romans and Greeks used
TO delight in. In this particular To-
cality U mean where the city is) the
country Is waste of fine white lava
ashes, the sport OF the winds, aud
lust here is how the city came to be
found. The whirlwinds and sand
augurs have scooped out the dust and
thus exposed the city. No legend or
story exists to show how or when 1t
was founded. or whether IL was aban
doned or destroyed. The latter seems
most likely, and probably, too, by an
earthquake. at some remote period,
which threw lava and fire up. No
volcano is known to exist in the neigh
borhood. The spot is forty miles
from water and out OF the line OF
travel. The Pueblo Indians oldest
i'm the Southwest can tell nothing OF
this lost city. They call IL Gran
Guivera.'

TWO SOLDIERS AT GETTYSBURG.

The armies they had ceased 10 fight,
The night was still and dark,
And many thousands on the field,
Were laying stiff and stark.
The stretcher men had come along
And gathered all they could;
A hundred surgeons worked that night
Behind the clump CT wood.
They flashed the lanterns in my face,
AS they were hurried by,
The sergeant looked and said, Hes dead
And made no reply.
The bullet had gone through my breast
No wonder / was still;
But once will be nearer death
Than when upon that hill.
A gray -clad picket came along
Upon his midnight beat;
He came SO near me that tried
To move and touch his feet.
Instant he bent and felt my breast
Where life still fought at bay;
No one who loved me could have done
More than this man in gray.
Chilled with damp of blood and dew,
His blanket DER me spread;
A crimson shea1 OF wheat ne Drought,
A pillow for my head.
Then knelt beside me for an hour
And bathed my lips AMI brow;
But for the man who was my foe
I'd not be living now.
Then as the coming daylight shone,
He bent his lips tU say:
"God spare you, brother, though you wear
The blue and the gray"
The sounds of war are silent now;
We call no man our foe,
But soldier hearts cannot forget
The scenes Of long ago.
Dear are the ones who stood with us,
To struggle, or TO die;
No one can oftener breathe their names,
Or love them more than |.
But from my life I'd give year
That gray-clad man TO see;
To clasp in love the foeman's hand
Who saved that life to me.
