Soldiers and Civilians.

The Kaiser OF Germany has different
notions from those his forefathers had
about the treatment of civilians by soldiers.
An old order by King Frederick William Ill
of Prussia has been unearthed in which
the King SAYS: Il have heard, to my great
dispeasure. that young officers claim privi-
legeS over civilians. No soldier of whatever
rank shall dare to snub one of the least of
my citizens, for it Is they, not /, who maiIi-
tain the army. They. give the army its
bread; and arrest. dismissal, or sentence of
death shall be expected by those who act
contrary to my wishes in this matter"

Very few people know how to battle, and
few battle sufficiently. Many would like to
battle more than ;hey do, but two things
prevent. First. they are busy and have
little time TO spare; next. their work tires
them, and they are afraid to lessen their
strength and vitality by too free use Of
soap ana water. and some have no bath
room.

Tho ReIigIons of ChInn.

The three great religions of China are
Confucianism, Buddhism and Taouism.
The bulk of the people are Buddhists
rather than, Confucianists, and there are
millions of infidels. The tomb of Con-
fucius is at Mecca, for many of the Chi
nese, and they make pilgrimages to it.
Confucianism is more philosophy than
q religion. 1t contains many of the beau
ties which we suppose to be exclusively
the properties of Christianity. The
golden rule in negative form was an
inundated by Confucius, and rs n system
of morality it is beautiful. The Taoulsts
have more superstitions than the Con
fucianists. They began about the same
time as Confucius, their preacher being
one Laou-Tsze.
The state religion, in connection with
which all these religions come in, is the
worship of the emperor, who is the son
of heaven and the prophet, priest and
king of the people. lie worships for
them in the temples at Pekin. When
the great Temple of Heaven was burned
down a shudder ran down the 300, 900, 900
spines of the great Chinese nation. 1t was
thought that this was a warning from
heaven that the emperor should be de-
posed.-Frank G. Carpenter in National

A Paris Candle story.

every traveller who stops at n Paris
lodging house" laughed woman the
other day, "has candle story, and here
is mine: We were served with two
candles every morning, which we never
half used up; these would be taken out,
however, and fresh ones appear in their
places. Knowing that we were being
charged for every candle we determined
at least to enjoy added illumination, and
my husband looked around for place to
hide them during the daily doing up of
the apartment. On the top shelf Of q
cabinet arrangement in a corner stood q
large japanese vase, wide and deep. Up
to this Mr.. - climbed, to discover that
we had been forestalled, for in its capa-
cious hollow we found seventeen can
dies, every one burned down perhaps an
inch.
"Some former lodger had resented
the candle swindle like ourselves, and
had put his daily allowance where it
would do the proprietor no good. That
night brilliant illumination of nineteen
candles, each set in its own grease on
the marble top table, gave us something
like light. During our stay we hid and
accumulated candles, so that we had
always enough to read by, and when we
left we deposited our overstock in the
vase for the benefit of some searching
successor. New York Times.

NM i2FIHDlQE.
The late Mime. BarthoIdi was no ordi-
nary person. and on her ninetieth birth
day she looked 20 full Of life and beamed
so with mental vigOr and heartiness that
1 wonder she did not live TO a hundred.
She was left widow carly, and devoted
herself TO the education Of her sons and
the stewardship Of their paternal prop
critics, which under her management
were increased 10 fortunes. Though so
well endowed with the money making
faculty, she was a person Of a generous
disposition and given to hospitality.
In youth she was reputed the hand
soonest girl in Alsace. AS an old woman
she was more than handsome. The pure
outlines remained, and the fire Of the
kindest, quickest and most lambert pair
Of eyes imaginable was never quenched
so long as life remained. The son must
have had her in his head, as he remem-
bered her in her younger days, when he
was sketching the design Of the statue
Of Liberty Enlightening the World.
1t was her idea that Liberty should not
be en- pate de guimauve, but Of a grave
and severe aspect. Liberty was the best
Of all conditions, she used to say, for
those who were severe upon themselves,
and the worst for the self indulgent.
One never saw a trace Of self righteous
harshness in the old lady. She was very
indulgent toward the erring; but that
grace, she said, came with the wide ex-
perience Of old age. 1t was a source of
enjoyment to her to drive to the Isle Of
Swans, in the Seine. and look at the re-
duced copy which was set up there few
years ago Of the famous statue which
now stands at the entrance of New York
harbor One of her sayings was, ''Do
not repress badness; crowd it out with
good ideas. London Truth.

among his horses. With two compan-

saw a negro man untying one OF the

ran away. In about an hour he returned
and Sneaked in on his hands and knees.
Luna and his companions surrounded the
place and soon had him captured. When
