Seeing SOvereipns.

In 1908 Napoleon's congress oil
princes was held, and music and the
drama were their evening amuse-
ments Spohi, the German violinist,
was intensely curious to see this as
semblage Of royalties, aud betook
himself to Erfurt, thinking he might
wriggle himself into some corner OF
the house. The entire place was re-
served, but Spohi was persistent, and
he ultimately won his way.
Having a friend who was second
horn player in the orchestra, he per-
suaded him to feign illness, and to
ask the bandmaster to allow himself
to take his place. The request was
granted, and the vioIinist set to work
with the horn. It took him a day
and half to produce the simplest
notes. On the evening of the per-
Torrance the muscles of his face
were strained and stiff, his lips swol-
len and black, and he could hardly
get through his part But one
tho ught cheered Spohi as he took his
seat in the orchestra; he would enjoy
a fine view of the princes and es-
pecially of Napoleon, who was to sit
in the center stall Of the front row.
Then to his dlsmay he learned that
the Emperor had issued a formal order
directing the musicians to play with
their backs to the audience, and un-
der no circumstances to turn their
heads He was equal to the emer-
gency, however; pulling out a pocket
mirror he placed it before him in a
proper position, and thus.obtained an
excellent view of an unparalleled as
semblage of sovereigns. We sincerely
hope he enjoyed it.

Unruly Members.

A recent life of Peter Stuyvesant
describes some of the social phases OF
New York at the time when it, was
New Amsterdam. A rigid dignity of
behavior was enjoined upon the
citizens, and emf creed by multiple
ity of fines.
The magistrates were treated with
great respect by the people, and were
generally addressed as Most wor-
shipful lords" They evidently had
no official titles, anG when Stuyvesant
addressed them he adopted that form
which best suited his humor.
In announcing a fast day, he di-
rected his letter to "Tbe Most
Worshipful, Most Prudent and very
Discreet, their High Mightinesses,
the Burgomasters and Schepens of
Nieuw Amsterdam. But when a
quarrel had arisen On the propriety
Of game called ''Riding the Goose"
he addressed his angry reproofs to
THE Small Bench of Justices"
1t was dangerous in those days to
indulge in idle words. One PETER
Petersen Smit called Joghem Beck
man a ''Dlack pudding beast" Both
were f1ned as slanderers.
Solomonla Chair, having lost his
temper and been fined for an epithet
applied to the fire inspectors, paid
the fine, but with the contemptuous
remark.
us it to have little cock booted
and spurred that I am to give it,"
This remark was reported, and the
court imposed an additional fine of
twelve guilders on the ground that
cit is not seemly that man should
mock and scott at persons appointed
to any Office"
The house of Pietertje JAMS was
sold on an execution for debt, and
she declared in public to the officers
of the court:
"Ye dejpoilers! Ye bloodsuckers!
Ye have not sold, but given away my
housed"
The officers declared that such
words were "a sting that cannot be
endured" and PietertjeJ was brought
before the magistrate and forbidden
ito indulge in such blasphemies in
the future, or by neglect the Judge
shall hereafter provide for. IT,

Wonders of the Desert.

An interesting discovery comes to
San Diego, California, by the way of
the town OF Julian, up in the mount
aims. A correspondent of its paper,
the Weekly Sentinel, tells of jour-
ney over the Colorado desert He
had camped midway between the
Seventeen Palm Springs, which is
about twenty miles out and the
Fish Springs, some ESQ feet below the
sea level From there he could trace
for miles on the mountain side the
line Of a former sea, the portion
that was below the water being Of a
dull gray.
From Fish Springs he travelled
three miles to the base of mount
ain. and found that instead of cor
roding lime, the almost perpendicu-
lar rock was Of solid coral formation,
200 feet high, following ragged lines,
filling crevices and lining a cave
with spectacle of magnif1cence.
The cave, fifty feet high by twenty
six feet wide, of coral lining, is hardly
touched by time. In little bay be-
tween two jagged points of the rocks
the peach outlines are still distinct
above the coral formation. Little
coves are cut in the rocks as evil
dences Of shelter for Indians, while
from them run indistinct trails up

Flowers IN Midsummer.

At this season of the year we are
pretty sure to have a spell of very
hot, dry weather, and plants suffer
greatly from it, and, if it is pro-
tracted they often cease to bloom,
and when they do that it is practi-
callY the end Of the season with them,
as but few will recover from the
effect later on, when rain comes,
writes Eben E, Rexford in a timely
article on midsummer in the Gar
den" in the Ladies' Home Journal.
To avoid these results, and continue
the beauty of the garden. water
should be given freely and regularly.
In towns and villages where connec-
tiOn can be made with water-Works
this will be an easy thing to do, but
in the small places and the country
it often involves great amount OF
labor. Water at night, so that the
sun will not cause the moisture to
evaporate before it has a chance to
get to the roots of the plants, as it
will If watering is done in the morn
ing. Instead of using a watering
pot with a spray nozzle, use one with
spout simply, as that will allow you
to apply the water In a stream about
the base of the plants, thus getting
enough water where it is needed to
do good, which would not be the case
il you were to sprinkle it over the
surface Of the ground.

Dipping a Law in Australia.

The Australian Government has a
law requiring all sheep to be dipped
in standard solution once a year,
usually in the spring. This law is
rigidly enforced. ana has been the
means of destroying the scab, which
was once a very great pest in that
country. While there is comuara-
lively little scab in the States, the
annoyance Of ticks and lice has a very
demoralizing effect upon both sheep
and fleece. Men often wonder why
the young lambs look so droopy and
lifeless. An examination will often
reveal the fact that the youngster
had literally robbed its poor old
mother OF all the ticks she possessed.
The everlasting drillers have pumped
her for blood and made life a burden.
and they are quick to transfer their
membership to new field as soon az
presented
The necessity of dipping is almost
equal to feeding. 1t not only de-
stroys the parasite, but makes the
fleece bright and full Of life. and Il
better than trip to Hot Springs for
the individual National Sheepman.

The Ubiquitous Microbe.

DR.. Manfredi has been announcing
some disQuieting facts concerning the
omnipresence of fatal microbes. In
the busy thoroughfare of a crowded
city he has found thousand million
microbes to a gramme of dust, and in
the dirtiest streets 5000, 600, 900 per
gramme. A large number of disease.
producing microbes were found
amongst these, the number of such
morbif1c germs being directly pro-
portional to the aggregate number of
microbes. OF forty-two cases in
which he inoculated guinea pigs with
Neapolitan dust, he detected the
tubercle bacilli (the germ of con-
sumption) In three, the bacillus Of
pas in eight, the bacillus Of maiig-
nant Gdema in four, and other fatal
bacilli. A medical paper suggests
that the streets of American cities
should be tested for microbes, and is
confident that in many Of them a
harvest as rich in variety and deadli-
ness as was garnered in Naples could
easily be secured. Emphasis is given
to DR.. Manfredi's alarming statistics
by the results of some Investigations
which have been carried on by Prof.
Uffelman with respect to the carrying
of cholera bacilli by means OF letters
postal cards, etc He infected let
ter with the bacilli and put it in the
ordinary way into post bag. In the
course of twenty-four hours the letter
was taken out and the bacilli were
still living. They were also found
still living on postal cards twenty
hours after infection, but on coins
they seemed to die with great rapid
ity. The reason for this difference
could not be discovered On wooden
and linen stuffs the bacilli enjoyed a
particularly long life. The busiest

Heart, or Liver?

MarGin f. Upper was at one time
immensely popular, both in England
and America Grace Greenwood says
of his poetry that iG was a "briei
though furious fashion," and she goes
on to illustrate his British inability
to take an American joke by a story
OF his justification by Senator ''Tom''
Corwin.
One evening the two sat together
at public dinner, and Mr.. Corwin
proceeded to discourse on the divine
art of poetry, in a manner delight
fully absurd but rather puzzling to a
poet.
"Why, Mr.. Topper" he asked, lido
you poets always make the heart the
seat of love? Now I should locate
that passion in quite another organ
the liver!"
"Why, bless my soul, Mr.. Corwin,
you're not speaking seriously!"
Perfectly, my dear sir! For ex-
ample, when young man is in love,
his heart is seldom affected but his
liver always is He loses his appe.
title; if there are obstacles, he peaks
and pines, You surely have observed
it! Now you poets ought to let the
heart alone, and deal with the liver.
l would even have changes made in
the old poems, in accordance with
physiological truth"
"But. my dear sir, what about the
rhyme and the rhYthm?"
''Oh. those little things could be
arranged. For instance, take the
first two lines Of Byron's Maid OF
Athens:
Maid of Athe-s ere we part
Give, oh give me back my hearth
Now how simple the change and
how satisfactory:

Give, oh give me back my hverr

"Hurrah" Is an Ancient Word.

1t is not generally known that few
words can boast Of so remote and
widely extended prevalence as
''hurrah." In India and Ceylon
''ur-re-rew which seems to be form
Of ''hurrah," is used by the mahouts
and attendants on the baggage ele-
plants. The Arabs and camel driv-
ers of Egypt, Palestine, and Turkey
encourage their animals to renewed
effort by cries Of ''ar-Ee, ar-rem The
Spanish Moors use something of the
same expression. In France the
sportsman excites the hounds by his
shouts of ''Hare, hare!" and wagoners
turn their horses by crying "Har-
bauhm Irish and Scottish herdsmen
shout '.Hurrish, hurrishi" to their
cattle. The exclamation is thought
to be a corruption of the old Morse
men battle cry 'Tur-aie'' Thor aid. }

A Water Monkey.

Monkeys. as is well know, are like
cats in their dread of getting wet.
On shipboard / have otter laughed to
see them scampering from a heavy
spray as it dashed over the deck, or
budding together under the lee of
the long-boat during passing
shower. But on the ship Euphrates
we had monkey that was actually
fond of swimming.
One day while we were anchored
in the roadstead off Cape Coast Cas-
tie, on the west coast Of Africa, the
passengers were seated under the
awning, looking at some jewelrY that
had been brought on board by the
natives, and offered for sale The
captains wife had very rare ring
made of African gold, and engraved
with the signs of the zodiac. 1t had
been brought to her as an engage
ment ring by her husband and was
the dearer to her from the fact that
he had been wrecked and picked up
at sea with it on his finger.
One of the lady passengers who had
been looking at the ring, and whose
attention was attracted BY some of
the native jewelry. placed it on the
cabin skylight beside her. The next
moment our pet monkey jumped on
the skylight, seized the ring, and put
ting it in his mouth, jumped on the
main deck and ran forward.
Instantly everyone was on his feet
chasing the monkey. 1t ran from
one end of the deck to the other, and
then climbed aloft. Some of the
sailors went up and drove it down
again.
When it reached the railing of the
bulwarks, it paused and looked
around; the sailors were fast closing
in On 1t, and without a moments
hesitation, it jumped overheard.
On rising to the surface, it tried to
climb up the vessels side, but her
copper was high out of the water,
and it could get no hold with his
paws. Then it dived, swan under
the ships bottom, and came to the
surface on the other side. This per-
1ormance 1t repeated three or Tour
times
While this was going on, the cap
tain's wife remained seated. Tears
were in her eyes as she spoke to the
sailors. "Never mind" she said,
don't chase the poor monkey any
more; it doesn't know any better. It's
instincts teach it to steal"
She had hardly finished speaking,
when the monkey came over the
quarter of the vessel and with a rush
leaped across the deck, jumped into
her lap, and putting its little fingers
into it's mouth, drew the ring out of
the cheek-pouch at the side of its
jaws. and dropped it into her lap.
With cry Of joy she placed it on
her finger, and taking the dripping
monkey in her arms, she pressed it
against her bosom and kissed it's lit
tie black, upturned face. Youths

His Methods OF Land Grabbing WEI
Unique II Rot Commendsble.

Bis Methods OF Land Grabbing Were
Unique II Not Commendable.
sThere are devices practiced in the
far West. I" observed an Omaha man
recently. 'Yor making money; devices
that appeal to the enterprising and
ingenious citizen. and that are, by q
long way, more ingenious than coms
meudable.
s.Every now and then," he went on,
"a shrewd Fastener sees an unlocked
for opportunity to get ahead in the
West. He generally intends to re-
main just long enough to get big
bank account and then to return
home and spend his money. Oftener
than not, he does not return, and the
West, particularly the new West is
recruited with just such Eastern adj
venturerS.
There is a man living on claim
near the frontier town Of Hecla, Wy,
whose career so far has been pre-
eminently successful.
'Less than year ago he took out
land claim for 600 acres. He had
his eye upon the land adjoining his
own, where an old frontiersman lived
alone with his daughter.
'The shrewd Fastener gained the
favor of the old man by winning his
way into the daughters affections
and afterward marrying her.
'tHe then put his father-in-law
into the way Of stealing sheep that
had wandered from neighboring
ranches, claiming that they were
communistic property Both were
arrested, as the business man knew
and intended they should be. The
latter then turned States evidence
and was set free.
THAT was part of his we'll form
ulated scheme. While his father
in-law was serving out his sentence
in prison the Fastener jumped the
old mans claim, hired an unscrupu-
lous neiQhbor to run away with his
wife and obtained a divorce on the
ground Of desertton. v
HE now smokes the pipe Of peace
as he surveys his broad acres and con-
graduates himself upon his shrewd-
ness. He will probably return East
some day. No doubt he'll pose as a
Western cattle king or something OF
the sort when he does"

THE OLD HORSE.

Az, sell the old horse If you will,
For he IL broken down
And weak with Years-why care for thatf
There's plenty In the town
To take his place, to do his work,
To 60 the pace he went
BY day or night, In rain or shine,
Until his strength was spent.
He never stopped to reason why,
To ask that this be done,
Or that he knew his duty
And did 1t on the run.
He served his master as he best
Knew how to serve-and now
Go sell him he is loyal and
Will ask not, why or how.
A horse is not sentiment;
He cannot think or speak
Or vote; then why protect him when,
He's worthless, old, and weak
For him no starry banner floats
On every breeze that blows;
For him no pension comforts come
When years his labors close
Ay. sell the old horse If you will;
He will not ask you why,
Nor make complaint, when he is turned
Adrift to starye or die;
But faithful in his labor still,
As when they were begun,
He will not care; he is content
With duty bravely done.

She Knew Herself.

The New York Tribune has 9
pretty story of Ethel and her aunt
The aunt, it appears, had many cares
and Interruptions, and had been
heard TO sigh for solitude. Just one
hour day of rest and quiet would
be priceless boon to her.
"Aunty," said Ethel one day, after
a full three minutes of silence.
''when I am real rich, when I have
millions of dollars, the first thing
shall do will be to hire a real sol.
dier, with a real gun, to stand and
guard your door so you can have all
the solitude you want, Twill pay him
a thousand dollars week"
Aunty expressed her appreciation
of such kindness.
But, aunty," added Ethel, in a
sadly reflective tone, 81 just know
I shall be the first person to get
