Bronze Very Ancient.

Bronze. spoken Of in the Bible as brass.
is of very ancient origin We have little
or no notion how the ancients got cop
per; but in all probability large quanti-
ties were formerly found in the metallic
state, Just as we find it now in the neigh
borhood Of Lake Superior in America
and Baikal lake in Siberia. This would
only have required melting to yield a
tolerably pure metal. If, however. they
smelted copper from its various ores. it
is difficult to realize how they could
overcome such complicated process,
and we can only admit that in this re-
spect. as in so many others, the ancient
peopleo of Europe were very much eleverer
than we moderns are apt to believe

A HISTORIC CASTLE.
Burg HohenzolIesn, the Cradle of the
ReigninS Family of Germany.

Burg HohenzolIesn. the Cradle of the
Reignins Family of Germany.
We have left behind us the grand
duchy of Baden and are passing through
Hohenzollern, now associated with the
present greatness of the German empire
For thousand years the name has been
borne by race of fighters, whose lances
and battle axes have given way to maga-
zine rifles and the methods of Moltke.
The name has been carried far from the
little Danube country-northward to
the Russian border and to Holland; to
the west if has thrown its arms around
Strasburg. and eastward il has driven
the holy Roman empire to beyond the
center of German influence.
The castle to which all the branches
of this much divided stock look to rs
from Sigmaringen, the road winding
along a tumbling brook, whose mouth
is near the foot of the ruins of Dietfurt
castle, to point where the water on one
side flows to the Danube and on the other
into the Rhine.
In the broad valley shortly beyond
this point rises solitary peak crowned
with the battlements of Burg Hohen-
zollern. For miles on every side it is
the most striking feature of the country.
and rising as it does straight up out of a
great plain and commanding An un-
obstructed view of all surrounding ap-
proaches. it represented down to our
century a military position readily ap-
preciated.
1t has been twice in ruins, and twice
built up again by the united efforts of all
the family. The present castle was com
menced in 1850, with view not merely
Of preserving the cradle of the Prussian
kings, but equally torepresent in south
Germany military stronghold of some
value. While. therefore. the architect
has been given free hand, in order to
make the outward appearance harmonic
with the geographical situation. all the
requirements of modern warfare have
been taken into account in the construc-
tion Uf the massive zigzag of defensive
wall.
A company of infantry were tramping

which made US rather wonder where
they could all find standing room together
for the purpose. until we discovered a
little terrace cut out of the side of the
slope, somewhat like the one on the
Quebec citadel.
The day was hot, our coats were off,
our waistcoats loose and sleeves rolled
up as we sought the public room of the
castle, where retired sergeant provided
mediocre food at rather high prices.
Of course the "Kastellan" showed us
ths castle. but the rooms being modern
the interest IL rather with historic asso-
citation than with the objects themselves,
precious as many Of them are. The |
present emperor has not visited the place |
since his advent to the throne. and it |
has never been much lived in by any of |
the royal family. A reason naturally |

Pronounced HOPELESS, Yet Saved.

From a letter written by Mrs. Ada E.
Hurd, of Groton, S. D., we quote: "Was
taken with bad cold, which settled on
my Lungs, cough set in and finally ter
minated in Cosumption. Four doctors
gave me up, saying l could live but a
short time. L gave myself up to my
savior, determined if L could not stay
with my friends on earth, 1 would meet
my absent ones above. My husband was
advised to get DR.. Kings New Discov-
cry for Consumption, Coughs and Colds.
1 gave it trial, took in all, eight bot
ties; it has cured me, and thank God L
am now well and hearty woman"

The Fools are not all Dead.

A lazy man, whose horses and cart
were stuck in the mud, prayed to Jupiter
for help. Jupiter answered: Fool! get
up and put your shoulder to the wheel,
and do not call on me when you can
help yourself" Foolish people buy
medicines hap-hazard, blindly trusting
to promises made without guarantee.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
is guaranteed to cure colds, coughs, all
lung affections, and even Consumption
in its early stages. 1t puts to rout all
stomach troubles, purifies the blood,
gives healthful action to the sluggish
liver, and drives blemishes from the
skin. 1t is an honest medicine, and an
invaluable health insurance policy which
should never be allowed to lapse. All
druggists keep it.

Just Like a Man.

When a man slips on a banana
peel or anything else his face lights NJ
with astonishment rarely shown on any
other occasion. He invariably stops,
turns and mentally marks the location
of the article. as if he might come that
way again some day and it would be
just as well to be posted; then looks at
his foot quite as curiously, probably
dropping a casual observation or two
concerning possible future state of ex-
istence. None of these things tend to
modify the fact that he slipped and that
he is no more likely to slip again on the
same thing than he is to be struck by
lightning. York Herald.

Milwaukee Sentinel.
81 saw fellow shot clean through
the body by grapnell shell within an

came out behind and killed a mule, but
the poor fellow that was struck only
gasped little for air and then he kept
on fighting just as fresh as ever" The
room became very quiet and several

Tangle arose and looked meditatively

we went to the front. There was SOL

square in the head with twelve-pou

knew it." The old soldier who had told
the first story looked little sheepish
and several laughed little.
"But," some one thodght to inquire,
didn't it kill him?" Tangle looked up
little surprised. "Oh, yes, certainly
it killed him." he replied. "But, then,
maybe it was all for the best. He might
have lived to tell the story. It's proba-
bly, just as WE'LL" he added, looking at
the old soldier.
