Why all Foam i. White.

The question as to why all foam is white is not an easy one to un. derstand, but the fact is that foam is always white, whatever may be the color of the beverage itself. The froth produced on the bottle of the blackest ink is white, and would be perfectly so were it not tinged to a certain extent by particles of the liquid which the bubbles hold in mechanical suspension. As to the cause of this wilderness it is suffi- cient to say that it is due to the large number of rehecting surfaces formed by the foam, for it is these surfaces which by rehecting the light, produce upon our eyes the impress sion of white. If we remember that all bodies owe their color to the rays of light which they can not absorb, and all bodies which reflect all the light they receive, without absorbing any, appear perfectly white, we shall be prepared to un- derstand how the multitude of re. hecting surfaces formed by the foam and which do not absorb any light, must necessarily give forth white appearance. It is for the same req son that any very fine powder ap- pears white, even the blackest marble, when ground to dust, losing trace of it's original color.-The Waverly.

Fought With Napoleon.

The Eleventh Hussars of the Ger man army has most romantic his tory. Formed in 1907 by Napoleon, it suffered untold losses and hard. ships from the worse than Apache warfare, aud against the cruel en- ragged mountaineers of Spain.
 Hurled in 1912 from sunny Castle to frozen Russia, 1t was, with the exception of few platoons, annihi- lated during the campaign. It thought for Napoleon with such splendid courage at Leipsic and Dresden as to call forth the praise of even that great master. As recompense, when beaten back with him on the French soil, 1t was disarmed and uphorsed, its men were in- suited by the people of every town in France through which they were dragged, and only the officers of French birth received commissions in other regiments. No wonder these staunch Westphalians were glad when Prussia took them to meet Napoleon in the victorious Water loo campaign One can we'll realize the feeling that thrilled its ranks as, one day when the opposition forces stood facing one another, a scared veteran, who had served since 1907, rode out with lance borrowed from a Selesian Uhlan, and defed any Frenchman to come out and fight, running his lance through the one who came.

stranre storY of a wonnn

"The war was responsible for many queer things" said Dr. Flu. gene Hardcastle, a St. Paul Sur geon, recently. up in Northern Minnesota lives a man who entered the service in 1861. He was very dull fellow, almost a fool. During one of the sorties made by the Con federates at Donelson he received a buckshot in the head. The surgeons could rot find it, and the wound healed. He returned to duty ono of the brightest men in his com, pany, and in time became second lieutenant. At the close of the war he returned home, married superior woman, prospered in business and was elected sheriff of his county. Three years ago his head began to give him great deal of trouble. He came to St. Paul and located the buckshot and removed it. He is now as healthy as ever, but is the same stupid dolt that he was before the fight at Fort Donelson.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

CHARLESTON, s. C., July 15.-- The mailed hand of Governor Tiilman made move yesterday against the blind tigers in Charles ton. These have been running now just two weeks since the dis pensagy law went into effect, and while it is true every house in Charleston has a sufficient supply of stimulants stored away to last six months the blind tigers, which sprang into existence July l, has been doing thriving busi- ness for about ten days. The city has been thronged with the governors spies.

 before trial and conviction their place of business is to be condemned and abated as nuisance, the premises searched and goods and chattels con hscated 10 the state and carried away.
 This IS the programme mapped out by the dispensary law, and this IS the programme Governor Tillman proposes to enforce. 1t is no secret that the enforcement will be resisted
 by force if necessary, in fact it Is no secret tha; a good many inhabitants have armed themselves and prepared
 to defend the sanctity of their prem
