The Hungarian newspapers report the
death, at the age of sixty-two, of Frau
Marie Hoche, who had been a lieutenant in
the Hungarian war for independence and
gained a medal for bravery on the field of
battle. In 1S4S Marie was eighteen years
of age. She enrolled herself in CORDS of
volunteers without the slightest suspicion
arising as to her sex. For her courage in
an engagement, where she was badly
wounded in one foot, she was rewarded
with heutenant's commission and deco
rated with a medal. Marie was afterward
transferred to regiment of hussars, with
the rank of first lieutenant. She might
have gone further in the line of promotion
but for the chance discovery of her sex,
whereupon a major, who had long had a
liking for the brave young officer. married
her, the wedding ceremony being perform
ed by the regimental chaplain. After her
husbands death she suffered from power
ty, but sum of money was raised for her.
The London Domestic Servants union
has just celebrated its fret anniversary in
Hyde and Regents parks. There was
fair attendance and much fervent oratory.
According to the different speakers the
great body of British "help" is groaning
beneath worse than Egyptian tyranny.
The chief grievances alleged were excess
i've hours-the working day generally
lasting from 7 a. m. to 1 or q. m.-the
fact that no extra pay was given for Sun
day work, and the non-existence of law
compelling employers to give servants
written character. A fervid coachman
described himself and his hearers as
seething macs of discomfort. Resolutions
were adopted plsdging hearty support of
the union. A statistical footman an
nounced that the total number of domes-
tic servants in the United Kingdom was
1,sO3, ,997, including $4,000 grooms and
coachmen, 5000 gardeners, $4,000 foot
men, etc., 1, ,230, 900 female domestics, and
90, 600 charwomen. the vast majority of
whom were, he declared, actual slaves.

A TIMELY PROTEST.

A TIMELY PROTEST.
One of the encouraging signs of the
times in the South is the protest that is
being made against mob rule. An espec-
tally forcible and timely utterance is that
of Chief Justice Bleckley of Georgia, who
declares that mobs would not exist if
we could silence their deluded advocates
and apologists. He especially deplores
the tone of those newspapers which
consound the mob with the people, and
treat some, if not all, instances of mob
violence as cases in which the people
act in their own behalf and take justice in
their own hands. He maintains that
mobs are not the people; that they who
compose them are for the time seceders
from organized society who outrage its
fundamental principles and trample on its
institutions. He even contends that
if all the people should perpetrate
an act of violence on the worst of
criminals, the case would not be one in
which the people had taken justice in their
own hands, but one in which, in violation
of their own law, they had inflicted injus-
tice in the name of justice. elm such
matters" he adds, "the people cannot
act otherwise than through their le-
gitimate agents. By appointing these
agents and committing all punitive power
into their hands, to be exercised in the
name of the people and for the good of the
people, the people renowned completely
and forever all right and all power to trans
act such business in person or by means
of their own direct Intervention"
This is to the point. 1t will by and by
be perceived in the South that mob rule is

The Murderer,s Hand.

NJ. Desbarolles, q French savant, who
made the hand his study, was emphatic
on the point. The murderer, he was con-

this thumb he gave the name Of the pouce

the latter Characteristic is but scanty, and
rests upon the Investigations of the French

fact that some Of the most brutal murders
on record have been perpetrated by men
whose countenances habitually wore a

Man Against shark.

A desperate fight between :nan and a shark occurred recently in Manukau harbor. Mir Henry Jacobson, who is employed at the North Manukau Heads as beacon light keeper, was out in his boat about six miles down the harbor when it was struck by squall and swamped and the occupant left in the water. Jacobson dived and endeavored to relieve the ballast, but without sue cess. He then grasped an oar, and being good swimmer struck out for land; but as a strong tide was running he was swept down the harbor a distance of three miles. At that point he was at lacked by large shark, which grabbed at his hand. He protected himself. how ever, with the oar, which he tried 10 ram down the sharks throat.
 The fish then made a circle around him, and renewed the attack. By this time. however, Jacobson had his sheath knife drawn, and desperately stabbed the shark, ripping its side open, so that the water became red with blood. A further attack was made, when Jacob son again stabbed the monster near the tail, and it swan away. At that time a boat came in sight, and Jacobson, ex. hausted, was hauled into the boat, hay ing been in the water two hours and thirty minutes. es.-New Zealand Herald.

Electricity from Coal.

A French chemist. who has been Giv. ing considerable attention to the problem of heating and lighting from a single source, has devised novel stove, which in appearance resembles an ordinary heating stove. It is so arranged inter- nally that the waste of heat is utilized for the generation of electricity. This is secured by number of rectangular boxes of sheet iron, containing the neC- essary metallic elements for furnishing the current. These elements are in sulated by asbestus, and the cooling is effected partly by the shape in which the metallic alloys are cast and partly by circulation of air.
 The current obtained is not great i'll amount, but the result of this attempt seems to be favorable. Accumulators are used for storing up the electricity, and as the heating is required for much longer period than for lighting, the cleo trical energy, which would be lost dur ing the hours of daylight, is saved. A point of considerable moment is that the heat utilized in this way is waste heat, so that any portion that can be recov' cred in the form of electricity is so much gain. Philadelphia Record.

The Brain Jar of the Military Step.

Dr. Colin, regimental physician in the French army, has published the results of his investigations into the effects of regular marching in disciplined bodies cpon soldiers. The regularity of the atep causes the indefinite repetition of a shock of the bones abh brain, infinitely nore deleterious than an irregular walk, and to this regular repetition of the shock to the same parts of the body are due the peculiar aches, pains and illness es of the troops.
 In one day march, he says, this shock is repeated 10000 times, and often the strongest men, who can walk the same distance without difficulty when not in line, succumb to the strain in two or three days. Dr. Collins preventive is q rubber heel in all military boots. This heel has been tried at his instance in ths French infantry, he says, and the result has been found to be great relief to the soldiers. The experiments with the rubber heel are still in progress.

A STORY OF THE HOUR

 ESTRANGED BY THE WAR.

The case was only one of many. After the war they were so common that even the romance of the thing failed to ap- peal very strongly to tho imagination.
 \ young southern girl, visiting relatives in the north, had become engaged to a young northeruer, and in the first flush of their happiness in each other war was declared; the girl was summoned home by her parents and the young man went into the northern army. Of course
 to them both it seemed that there never had been sorrow like unto theirs ITO the old, sorrow is sorrow; to the young
 sorrow is despair" it has been truly said, and in the breasts of these two lovers hope was almost dead. As time went on the spark grew feebler and dimmer, and when Albert Forrest and the brother of Grace Lea met on the same field of battle and both were wounded, the horrible possibility which this fact suggested widened the distance farther yet between those two hearts which had loved each other so truly and teuderly Both men recovered and went

At last, when they had risen from be- side the grave and were slowly retracing their steps, Grace felt suddenly aware of the great necessity for decision and action that was upon her, and with a prayer in her heart for strength she paused and firmly drew her hand from his arm. They were just inside the entrance gates. and the place was private and protected. She had chosen it to say her farewell in.
 "It is so strange and wonderful our having met in this way that we can never expect such thing to come to us again. Therefore, when we part now, | it must be, in all human probability, | forever"
 "Grace, Grace, Grace, we are not go- | ing to partl We have been united in this strange and solemn way because i God means us for each other. What is the use of fighting our plain destinies? | We have been tested, heaven knows, and we are made for each other-else why | has life been loveless for us both in all these years of separation? Do you think that will let you go again? It is right for us to love and marry call the dead to witness that it is! Where are now the issues and dissensions onco so sharp be- tween them?

Be- yond the blue sky, wonder, the High God sees and judges, and our dear and lost ones, if they see us, too, will be taught of him that allis right. You do not need to tell me that you love me, Grace. Your eyes already have done that, but will not even take your hand in mine un- til you freely give it to me.
 For a moment there was silence, and then as Grace glanced swiftly upward as if in mute appeal to God for help, her eyes rested upon the banner of the stars and stripes, which tioated in the sum mer air against the blue of heaven. Il seemed to her that God had sent her his answer; reaching out her hand she drew her lover onward few paces until they stood directly underneath the colors.
 "l used to think" she said, that would never pass beneath that tlag-but the old things are passed away and all i. new"
