tom and tied the rope TO the man and had
them draw him to the top, remaining in the
well himself. The rope was then sent back
for Mr.. Book and ne reached the top safely,
but when lie did come out he was exhausted

BLEW IN HIS FORTUNE.
The report that the late Archduke Jo-
ham has left considerable estate is denied
in a dispatch from Vienna The fact is, he
had got rid of about all of his own fortune,
and had been living of late on the gencr-
osity of relatives, who assisted him 10

POsthumouS revelations from the author

preted in Berlin as showing what the pub
lie had long suspected-that the great gen
eral of the F'rancO-Prussian war was not
without feeling Of jealousy toward Bis
marcll whom he almost altogether ignores

seemed to be much Interested in the praise
of the late chancellor, and it is understood
that ne was far from displeased when Bis
marck was dismissed, while Bismarck was
not gratified at the way that hero worship
turned from himself to Won Aloltke, and
has been significantly reticent as to the
ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE GENERAL.
An uneasy indication as affecting the peace
of Europe is the tone of mutual hostility OF
the semi-Offcial newspapers Of Austria and
Russia. While the two ruling houses are
punctiliously courteous toward each other
the newspapers indulge in much bitterness
and seize every opportunity, however tri-
vial for unfayorabie and recriminating COM
ment.
The semi-official Presse of Vienna, is
prodigal with the strongest denunciations
of Russians interior and exterior policy,
and asserts that her colossal ornaments
are evidently intended for action abroad.
The Novoe Vrenlya. on the other hand,
almost constructs into a cause of war the
arrest of Russian peddler in Galicia on
suspicion Of apparently
BEING A SPY.
So far as newspapers reflect opinions of
their respective governments, the two en-
pires might well be on the verge of HOSTILE
ties. This, however, has been going on 50
long that il does not seem to occasion
alarm, besides. the Russian army will not
be fully armed this year and the strength

Rcadin: By Moonlight.

Reading novels at midnight by the
light Of the moon is not known in the
United States, but according to the En-.
glish wife of Sig. Gregorio Revuelto, Of
Guatemala, it is no uncommon thing te
see senorita reclining in q hammock
with book in her hand on her fathers
veranda in the Costa Cuca district, Qua
temala, between IL and o'clock in the
morning. Sig. Revuelto is wealthy
coffee planter, and is in this country, &c.
companied by his wife and sister-in-law
on a pleasure trip. The travellers are
reistered at the Grand Pacific hotel.
'There are no moonlight nights in this
country or in England like we have il
Guatemala" said the Spanish planters
wife. 1.-The moon at certain periods o.
the month is so bright that it is as ight
outdoors as during the day. Englisl
and American poets write about the sub
lime August moon, etc. They should
see moon in Guatemala during the tim.
it is full. They would then have some
thing to go into ecstssies about" Chi

An Old Care for Diphtheria.

The lnostsrccessful cure for diphtheria
is one of the old woman remedies left
over from the last century. Medical sci
ence can't tell why it is good, but the
fact remains that it cures as many people
as drugs do. All the paraphernalia
needed is a basin, some hot water and a
good sized funnel. The basin must be
filed three-qu;srters full with very hot
water-as hot as can be secured polling,
if possible.
The patient takes the basin in his lap
and places the open end of the funnel in
the water. Then he blows through the
mouth of it. This will send the steam
from the water up from the basin to the
throat and chest, and he will naturally
inhale a good deal Of it. After ten OF
fifteen minutes relief will be experienced.
and if the operation is repeated frequent.
ly enough q permanent cure will be
est;blished.-NewY York Telegram.

governmental Cemeterie.

It costs the United States about sixty
cents q month to take care Of Il dead SOL
dier who lost his life in the service of the
Union. The sund1y civil bill passed by
congress appropriated 100000 for e1-
penses of the national cemeteries during
the fiscal year. In addition to this there
was the sum of SIC, 900 set aside for sal
aries Of superintendents of these burying
grounds, and there were also some odds
and ends, amounting to several thousand
dollars, for supplying headstones where
they were lacking, and so forth.
The government takes charge of all
these cemeteries, which are under the
direct control of the quartermaster gem
eral Of the army. There are eighty two
Of them in all, including an aggregate Of
1927, ,0G0 buriais. The smallest OF the
burying grounds is at Balls Bluff, where
twenty-five Federal warriors are in
terred, only one of them identified. The
next smallest is the old battle ground on
Seventh street in this city. 1t would he
much cheaper to remove the bodies rest
ing at both these places to other loca-
tions, bat sentiment accords to them q
claim to remain where they fell i'll brave

So, although only forty-three are
buried at the battle ground, saperin-
tendent is maintained there in charge at
q salary of sixty dollars month and
with house free for his occupancy. The
superintendents, as decreed by law, are
all disabled veterans, none others being
elegible for the positions, and their pay
is, according to the size OF the cemeteries
they have charge of, sixty, sixty five,
seventy and seventy five dollars !. month.
Thus they are divided into four classes.
