we seek in vain foran Austrian General who
has been proved and tried. Since the days
of Radetzky. Archduke Albrecht is the only
one Of note. But he is an old man now and
could not count for much in a war. His
famous feat of arms at O0stozza, where he
defended the Italian Quadrilateral against
Victor Emanuel. will be long remembered.
A fine soldier like man, the loss to Austria
will be heavy when he dies. and already the
question is being asked, "Who shall take his
placer"
Count Pegasevitch is Austria's leading
cavalry officer. He is perhaps the best Gen
eral for dash and hard fighting qualities
that the army possesses. The chief of staff is
General Won Beck, native of Baden. He
presents combination of the slow plodding
qualities of the Moltke type without display
ing any of its genius. General Won Beck's
brothers are in the German service. His
record is not notable one, but he has seen
service in the Austrian campaigns.

AGratefuI Old Man.


Mabel Waltzes had been waiting in the
parlor for her lovers return for what
seemed to her an age. Her heart turned to
bloodstone as she thought of him, young,
slender, but brave to rashness and reckless
ness, closeted alone with her stern father in
the grim old library. The door opened at
last and he stood before her, unscathed, a
fus h on his cheeks and an expression in his
eye.
''Did you see papa, Richard?' she asked
with trembling eagerness. He held her in
his arms for moment without speaking.
eyes, dearest" he said at length.
"And what did he say, Richard? Tell me
what he said? He refused you? Oh, your
eyes tell me! He refused you; he will not
give me to you? But 1 will bel am
yours-I do not fear his harshness-we will
fly"
But Richard looked down into her plead
ing face and shook his head slowly, like
man in dream.
'Tell me, then, for I cannot wait! Was
he brutal and cruel to you? What did he
do? What did he say?"
Richard Nobeard drew long deep breath
and again looked down at the face turned
up to meet his troubled glance. He sighed
and whispered slowly:
''He only said thank heaven and went
on reading"

Each to His Own.

A traveller passing through the land of
Pluribustah observed the baggage master
put on pair of gloves and leave his car at
a certain way station. Alighting to follow
his movements more closely, he saw the ter
ror of the Saratoga carefully and with an
expression of reverence approach trunk
fastened in the most perfect simplicity and
innocence with only its own lock and straps,
with never a coil of BEDFORD drawn tightly
about its weakness in many circling folds
He saw the master of baggage tenderly lift
this trunk in his arms, carefully carry it to
his car, and softly deposit it therein as
mother would lay her sleeping babe in its
cradle. As it did not look like the trunk
of man who owned all the railroads in the
world, the traveller was able only to give q
feeble cry for help before he fell senseless
upon the platform. They carried him
aboard the train and he did not recover
power of speech or motion for over so
miles Then at the dining station he ap-
preached the tanner of trunks, and, pacifying
him first with the usual offering of cigar,
asked the reason of his singular and un-
wonted mildness.
s'Sir," said the baggage man, "that was
my own trunk, and know how to handle
baggage when it merits kind treatment, and
when fully realize its value to the owner.
AS for the trunk of the president of this
railroad, whose you foolishly supposed that
one to be, it is standing in the farther cor
ner OF my car on the end that is not yet
stove in, having been carried four stations
past its junction. 1 will double-check it
back to him tomorrow morning, and if Ben
Thorhammer doesn't bend the other end of
it, 1 will know he has the grip. The presi-
dapt of this road will learn IN nock hia
things in canvas mail pouch when he
dead-heads 800 pound trunk on George
Granitecracker.
So saying George Granitecracker, for it
was indeed he, gave the mild and inoffen-
sive cigar of the traveller to the little flower
girl on the platform, and, standing at the
door of his car, proceeded in loud, harsh
tones to call off the numbers, destination
and condition of the sick and wounded, as
his assailant hurled them furiously down q
steep place prepared for that purpose.

AN ANTIsEPTIC SOAP.

Su1phate Of Copper and Sulphate of Zinc
Are Valuable Additions.
A French scientific journal records that
NJ. vigier has discovered that dried sui
phate of copper in soap has valuable anti
septic and healing properties, almost entire
1y neutralizing by its use the ordinary dan
gers of physicians, nurses and any persons
who are exposed to blood poison through
cuts OF scratches.
Any good soap material to which sulphate
of copper has been added in the proportion
of IL parts of the latter to SO of The former,
is recommended. In homes where soap is
sometimes made on a small scale, the ad-
dition of sulphate of zinc would be worth
trying. It gives green color to the soap,

France will look to General Gallifet when
war breaks but with perhaps more expec-

contrary, the preservation of peace or the

not the grievance of France respecting her

Teaching Deaf Mute. to Talk.

Still another use has been found for the
phonograph. The Superintendent of a
Deaf and Dumb Institute has been making
experiments with the instrument, and be-
lieves that in connection with it he can
teach the majority of the deaf mutes under
his charge to talk. He finds that the in
strument concentrates the sound at the drum
of the ear in such way that many of the
pupils otherwise deaf are enabled to hear.

A wise man stood by the fair greenwood,
And the fool stood close at his side:
And they wrangled of things they misunder-
stood,
And called on the crow to decide.
"For hold it true, as it's plain to viow,"
Quoth Wisdom, "that Nature laws
Have reason for everything we do
Fen the crow only flies be cause"
Then winging his flight like q shadow Of
night
Came the great crow overhead;
And he flew like a bird with cause for flight
And as over he flew, he said
"Oh sweet is the grub, meath the young green
shrub,
Or close to the new planted maize:
But the man with club drove us out OF

is all that can be said, but there is a prac-
tical side to his character. Still his success
as chief director of the movements of O vast
army in war is surmise. He has yet to win
his spurs in that arena. But if he has nat
ural genius the training he underwent as
Moltke's representative, joined to the fact
of his comparative youth, for he is only 81,
should render his chances of winning dis
tinction reasonably good.
A Man to Keep an Eye On.
1t is the opinion of many army officers in
Germany that the man who will most distin-
guish himself during the coming war will
be General Won Alvensleben, Commander
of the Thirteenth Army Corps. All familiar
with the stirring episodes of the war of 1870
will recall this officers brilliant share in the
sanguinary conflicts around Metz and the
prodigies of valor he performed at the head
of Germany's most dashing cavalry corps.
1t is even said that but for his presence of
mind at Mars La Tour, coupled with firm
resolution, portion of Bazaine's forces
would have succeeded in cutting their way
through the German lines and joining Mac
Mahon at Chalons. The present Emperor is
warm admirer of Alvensleben, and re-

1t is rather q matter for wonder that the
