BERLIN. July A-The army bill passed
" second reading in the reichssag today
and will pass its third reading tomorrow.
During the day Count Herbert Bismarck
made speech that aroused general inter.
est. He declared that he was satisfied with
the adoption Of the bill, though opposed to
the two years' service system. because the
Socialists. through their short term Of
service. might corrupt the army. The
third year service would serve ~ . reform
atory school. This remark caused great
uproar. which for time the president was
unable to queil.
Herr vcn Kardoff appealed to the house
to sustain the chair against such scandal
Gus violation Of the right Of debate. The
uproar finally ceased and Caprivi followed
Bismarck. He said the tvo years system
could be carried through without tho
dangers Count Herbert feared. Count
Herbert frequently interrupted the chan
cellor, who at last appealed to the presi-
order.
Herr Bsbel. leader Of the social-Demo
Gratis, said. in listening to Count Herbert.

the army through the two years service
system, he could tell the government
that the permsation had already been
effected. From the ranks upwards Social
ism had It's adherents. Bebsi continued:
I'VE exist You will not be able to get rid
Of Us except oy killing ua" These re-
marks caused most decided sensation.
Later In the day Count Herbert Bic
marck planted himself before the chancel-
lor and said he desired to correct .
statement made BY Caprivi. This
gave rise 10 another uproar and the
president reminded the count that the
article on which he wished to comment
had already passed the house The count
retired 70 his seat amid howls. Later he
apologixed to the chancellor for Irritating
him by interruptions. Caprivi bowed an
acceptance Of the apology.

is confident. that Mr.. Finch's
language Vas misunderstood BY the
reporter. and hs produced q
late letter from Mr.. Finch in proof Of his
statement Instead Of the smelters pre-
pairing to resume. as stated in the Rsriew.
they are preparing TO shut down within
the next month or two. Each smelter has
many tons Of ore in its yard or in transit.
and until they shut down absolutely, tm-
tied quantities Of C9ur d. Alene ores might
be acceptable to mix with other ores.
To meet this, the Poorman mine is turn
ing out twenty-five tons daily, and there
are 5000 70 400 tons of concentrating ore
on the dump Of tho Standard mine.
This will be run through the Union
mill, commencing next week, run
ming on the day shift only. Mr.. Camp
bell further stated that there was
nothing to give any encouragement to re-
sumo work at this time and that the mines
will remain closed and will not resume
under the present conditions. Both the
Tiger and the Gem have some ore on
hand, and this. with the other sources
mentioned, will be sufficient to meet any
demands that the smelters are likely to
make before they close down absolutely,
which they are evidently preparing to do.

Royal Mourning.

Few persons can understand what
time and words are wasted over the
etiquette of royal mourning; whether
it shall be o. sever days or fourteen
for the prince of a neighboring state,
and whether a court may wear mourn
ing concurrently for two or three
princes, or whether each must be
honored with a separate term of mourn
ing. As nearly all the royal families
of Europe are more OF less related, the
custom of cumulative mourning has
been adopted, otherwise they would
never be out of black. Now-a-days no
official notice is taken of a royal death
until the formal announcement has
been made by an envoy. Then, if sew
eral deaths have occurred, it is ar
ranged that they shall all be announced
on the same day, which is rather an
ingenious way of reducing the length
OF time necessary for indulging in such
a ridiculous bit of royal tomfoolery.-

A forest of rubber-trees may be de-
tected without the eye of an expert, for
they are SCARED and dying from the
wounds of the machete. The rubber
KILLED the goose hat laid the golden
egg" Each tree will yield only a GER
tain amount of the precious juice per
year and retain its vitality. When one
of these improvident fellows makes a
discovery, however, only a few months
suffice to place his bonanza in the ranks
of the many that have gone before. In
consequence you may traverse these
forests from end to end without see
ing a virgin tree. The ordinary
specimen of Nicaragua is from
fifty to one hundred feet high
and about two feet in diameter. The
bark is white, and the leaves oval, with
a slight inclination downward. The
cuts are made about two feet apart.
and generally extend from the ground
to the first branch. channels being
scored in the sides to lead the Juice
into a bag. The average yield of a tree
is from five to seven gallons of the
milky fluid. This is mixed with the
juice of the 'swisth," which hastens
congelation. After this operation the
crude rubber is baled up and shipped
north to be refined and further pre-
pared for commerce. Another tree
very similar to the rubber. and often
mistaken for it, is the cow-tree. This
yields a liquid very much like milk in
taste and appearance, and more than
once was drunk in coffee by the engi-
neers.-Lieut. W. n. King, Jr., in Har-

1t was during 'Cleveland's first in
cumbency. The daughter of a lawyer
prominent in a neighboring Kansas
town had married an officer who. a few
months after the ceremony, had been
detailed to a remote post. The young
wife, who had enjoyed a sort of BELLE
ship in the semi-metropolitan COM
munity in which she had been reared,
felt as if she were about to be buried
alive. Encouraged by her husband and
father she repaired to Washington to
seek reprieve at headquarters.
Fort Riley? Why, that's a pretty
good detail isn't it?" asked the presi-
dent, to whom the lady had stated her
case.
NO, sir; it doesn't suit me at all"
shouldn't we try to be satisfied
where we are?" continued the chief
magistrate with a patronizing smile.
You might have been satisfied with
being sheriff at Buffalo. but you
