smiled tender.y. 1t was a reminiscence.
What happy visions it called up!
Here was a couple, homely, raw, from
the country evidently, who had just
started out to guide the plow together.
The march had been played for them IN
the little village church not long ago,
but now they heard it played indeed.
They leaned a little closer together,
and her big hand, fixed out to kill in

ring, sought his and held it.
And all through the audience | saw
signs of the pictures called up by that
fragrant and alluring bit of music. Old

who live like cats and dogs together and
those who have learned the pleasant
alchemy of forbearance in welded life,
all were for the moment bewitched.

An EpCIishman's Historic BIunder.

A dramatic critic in a desultory con.
versation the other night said he won,
dered why Cinderella wore glass slip,
pers; he never saw any L dance in
glass slippers, and he didn't believe any
one could dance in glass slippers. One
man suggested that it was a fairy tale.
Another man made every one tired by
talking of malleable glass. He remarked
that he once saw a Pittsburg lady in a
glass gown. The manager, a distin-
guished Gallicist-he onc went to school
with Tartarin at Tarascon-said she
never did wear glass slippers.
"You see," he explained, cinderella
was indebted to a translator's mistake
for her uncomfortable pumps. This de-
lightful extravaganza was originally
French, and the man who Englished it
didn't know his business. The French
words are 'p&ntoufes de vair-fur slip
pers. Now the word for glass is 'verre,
and the English chump got 'em mixed
up. "-Chicago Tribune.

DRAGGED FROM HIS HORSE.

Daring Capture of "a French General ~
q British Officer at Waterloo.
The only prisoner made by the Eng.
lish reserve at Waterloo was a French
general whose capture was due to the
cool head and stout heart Of a young
brigade major anxious for al adventure.
During the battle several regiments of
cavalry and infantry were kept in re-
serve under a heavy fire from French
guns. Great was the havoc, and neither
men nor horses relished the passive atti-
tude to which they were condemned.
While a group of young officers, in
front of the left wing Of the reserve,
were discussing the situation, their at
tention was attracted to a French gen
eral and his staff, all on horseback, who
were looking through their glasses at
the Englishmen. One of the group was
Captain Halkett, a young brigade major,
mounted oA a thoroughbred. Suddenly
he exclaimed: I'll lay any one five
pounds that | will bring that French
general over here dead or alive. Who'll
take the bet?' Done. done, done!"
shouted several officers.
The captain examined the saddle
girths and his pistols. Then, shouting
"Goodby," and putting spurs to his
horse, he dashed at n furious pace across
the plain between the British and French
lines. His comrades followed him with
their glasses, not speaking a word. The
Frenchmen opposite seemed puzzled.
Believing that the Englishman's horse
had bolted and that the rider had lost
control Of him, they opened their ranks
to let the runaway through.
Halkett steered his steed SO as to Craze
the mounted general on the right side.
At the instant he put his arm around the
Frenchman's waist, lifted him bodilyout
of the saddle and throwing him over his
own horses neck, turned sharp and made
for the English lines. When the gener-
ais staff realized the meaning of the
bold rider they dashed after him, but he
had a good start, and not a Frenchman
dared to fire for fear Of killing the gen.
eral.
Half a squad of English dragons, see
ing Halkett chased by a dozen French
officers, charged them. They opened
their ranks to let Halkett through, closed
them up again the moment he was in
the rear, and then forced the Frenchmen
to turn swiftly and seek shelter under
their own guns.
Amid the maddest cheering Halkett
stopped in front Of the British lines, with
the general half dead, but securely
clasped in his strong arms. He jumped
from his horse, apologized to his prisoner
for the unceremonious way in which he
had been handled and in reply to his,
congratulations Of his comrades, said
simply:
"Praise my horse, not me-" The cap
tured general was treated with the ut
most courtesy and Observation-Disclosures

Water for Cholera.

Not long ago many physicians VINO
had had experience in cholera main
tanned that water should be withheld as
much as possible from the patients, and
that those who drank freely were almost
sure to succumb to the terrible malady.
AT the present time, however, it being
universally acknowledged that cholera
is a disease due to germs, a treatment
that promises to be popular is to insist
that the patients drink all the hot water
possible, for the purpose Of washing
these germs out of the intestinal canal
Moreover, to take, at frequent intervals
at first, large injections Of hot water to
favor this expulsion.-Boston Herald.

My daughter had a slow fever for several
days, and the symptoms all pointed to a pro-
tracted case of typhoid fever. We used the
usual remedies for several days with but little
if any benefit. We then tried the Royal Ger
metuer and nothing else. The second day
alter its use there was a clear remission of the
lever, md on the third day she was able to sit
up. After that she continued to improve
steadily and now is entirely restored. We at
