nouncement last night at Glasgow. Mr..

Ing, said that although home rule would
be kept TO view by the government, the

means that the fears Of the friends Of

A Good Habit.

In the summer of 1872 Prince Bis
marck won his first medal. II oc.
CURED in this wise:
AS cavalry officer he was on duty
with other officers, and standing with
them on bridge over lake, As he
was about to give an order his groom
Hildebrand rode one Of the horses to
water close by the bridge Suddenly
the horse lost footing, and Hide
brand, clinging to the animal, disap.
peared with il in the water.
4 terrible cry reSounded. One Of
BiSmarck's biographerS relates that
before the other officers had collected
their senses, Bismarck had thrown
off his sword and his uniform, and
had thrown himself in the lake TO
save his servant BY great good for
tune he seized him, but the man
clung to him SO closely in his death
agony that he had to dive before he
could loose himself from him.
Bismarck rose TO the surface, rails
ing his servant with him, and brought
him safe to land in an unconscious
condition.
The next dav the servant was rs
well as ever. But the little town
that had witnessed the brave rescue
was in great commotion. They pc
ttioncd the superintendent, who OBJ
tanned for the young oilicer the
medallion 'for rescue from danger.
And now, on great occasions the
well-known PrusSian Safety Medal
may be seen beside the proudest stars
in Christendom on the breast OF the
famous creator of United Germany.
Bismarck, it is said, is prouder OF
his first medal than Of all the rest
put together.
One day in the plcntitude Of Bis
marck's power noble Minister ap
preached the Premier, and with ;
tlnge Of satire asked him the mean
ing of this modest decoration. He a
once replied:
81 am in the habit sometimes o
saving life"
The diplomat lowered his eyes be
fore the reprovng look which accom-
panied Bismarcks lightly spoken
words. Youths Companion.

Under DImculties.

The methods employed by the
Partisan authorities for communicate
ing with the provinces during the
siege of Paris were persevering and
ingenious. The principal means OF
sending letters was by balloons and
carrier pldgeons, but many other
plans were tried. 1t was almost inn
possible for messenger to get
through the German lines. Even
when other difficulties could be over
come, the danger Of search and the
discovery Of the dispatch was great
Many of the messengers made in
cissions in the skin and hid dis
patch under the epiderlpis Others
provided themselves with hollow ten
centime pieces, or hollow keys which
could be opened like box, and in
which dispatches could be hidden.
One was accustomed to hide his dis
patch under an artificial hollow tooth.
These dispatches, of course, were
written in cipher, and covered only a
fragment of paper.
Attempts were made to cross the
enemy's lines by following the cav es
and natural tunnels under the left
branch of the Seine, and by diving
and crossing the bed Of the river in
diving suits, but all these plans
failed.
A curious scheme was the putting
of letters into little hollow spheres of
zinc, and throwing these spores into
the Seine or its tributaries, hoping
that they would float TO Paris They
did float to Paris, but did not till
after the armistice. 1t Is supposed
that they were stopped by dams, c,
that they were discovered and held
back by the Germans until the siege
was at an end.
Another clever and economical
device was the use of hollow glass
spheres with an orfce to admit the
dispatch. These were small and
light; they looked so like bubbles or
the water that it was impossible tC
distinguish them. They tloated easily
over the dams and through the net:
set by the Germans. They would
probably have proved very useful hat
not the river frozen soon after they
were invented

1t is not little strange that when
bur great statisticians take slate and
pencil to figure up the cost Of govern
ment, they never take into the ac-
count the expense Of elections?
The country has lately gone through
It's great presidential canvass. How
much lid it cost? The little items
ale the expense Of printing ballots
and the time and the labor of the
men who sit behind the rail and re-
Ceive the ballots; but these expendi-
lures must foot up for the whole
country, many millions Of dollars
Legitimate expenses of political
parties would amount TO other mill
ions-just how many no man could
guess Enormous bills were neces-
sarily incurred for printing, for post
age for the rent OF halls, for the
travelling expenses of delegates to
conventions and Of stump speakers,
for the equipment of political clubs
with uniforms and torches, and for
other purposes somewhat similar
Worst Of all were the expenditures
for the secret service OF the political
parties, the cost of the dark and hid
den arts purchased votes, corrupt
devices to cheat voters and to falsely
their will.
Great as was the money expense OF
all this, the real cost Of it is not
measured by dollars. The country
pay Tor it in a loss of moral stamina,
in generalization Of the public con-
science.
Just before the election New
York newspaper declared that In a
certain city. which it named, con-
tanning $500 voters there were 500
votes for sale. Men were so shame
less that they even organized to put
up the prices struck for more pay
for their votes
If the story is true, what a tale it
tells Of still meaner men who have
taught these purchasabe voters to
EXPECT pay,-Youth's Companion.

A CURIOUS INHERITANCE.
Cow q California Girl Receives n Greek
Strangers Fortune.

Strangers Fortune.
Florence Mason, a charming bru-
nette OF about seventeen years of age,
has suddenly and Unexpectedly be-
come an heiress TO 500, 900 or $780,
900. The Young girl is the daughter
o John Mason, a respected business
man Of this city. To the death Of
Bacilio Argires, Greek on a small
island in the Adriatic Sea, says the
san Francisco Chronicle, Miss Mason
is indebted for her wealth. Many
years ago Mr.. Argires came TO this
country. and became intimate with
the Masons, who were then very
well-to-do. Florence was not then
born. Years later, when oyertaken
by business reyerseS and mourning
the death Of his wife, Mr.. Mason was
again visited by Bacilo Argires'
brother and his wife. The husband
died, leaving helpless invalid in his
wife, who formed a strong attach
ment for Florence.
Upon her death Mrs. ArgireS be.
lQueathed the bulk of her estate TO the
Young girl who had soothed her dy-
ing hours, but subsequent investiga-
tion showed that the estate, after the
payment of some requests, was ex-
hau>ted. Miss Mason, in consequence,
received nothing, but two weeks ago
she was surprised by letter from
the Greek consul informing her that
she has been left an estate in Greece.
Bacilio Argires had died on the
Island of Corfu, and, not knowing
that his brother was dead, had left
all of his money to him. by the
death of his brother the estate
passed to his wife, and in turn 10
| Florence.
In an interview the consul said:
"Mi>s Mason is entitled to the entire
estate. Our laws in Greece on the es-
tateS of the dead are somewhat diff
ferent from those OF this country
There is no breaking OF wills there.
There is nothing that can stop her
