IT was very considerable of the New
York Judge who granted Mrs. Frank
Leslie a divorce from willie" Wilde,
brother of the once conspicuous Os7
car, to state that she was at liberty
to marry again, though her latest, il
not last, husband might not during
her life. In view of the fact thai
Mrs. Leslie is nearly 60 years old, il
might seem superf1uous to make ju,
dicial mention of her legal freedom
to try matrimony once more. She
married in 1854, however, for the
first time, and has been marrying
now and then ever since, so that
there's no telling about the future.
The lady has had four husbands and
been divorced from three of them,
and her courage is apparently still
resolute and her hopes high.

An Ingenious Motor.

An ingenious motor for the utiliza-
tion of the heat rays of the sun, gas,
or coal direct, thereby obviating the
necessity for intervening mechan-
ism of transformation, has been put
upon the market. 1t is said to be
the first motor to obtain useful rotary
mechanical energy direct from the
sun. A large corrugated drum is
filed with an expansible liquid or
gas. Inside the drum are vanes,
which, on being rotated by the ex-
pansion of the liquid or gas, COM
municate their motion to a pulley.
On putting the apparatus near a fire
or in the sun, where one side only of
the drum is heated, or on applying a
gas jet, varied expansion is caused
inside the drum and the pulley
rotates forcibly.

BISMARCK thinks the Germans
need a greater military force, but
would not increase the cavalry and
infantry. He thinks the artillery is
the arm that should be strengthened,
and predicts the decision of battles
hereafter by the superior fire of big
guns. There are many of equal
weight of authority in that matter
who are of the opinion that the cav
airy is tie force that will strike the
heaviest blows in the great combats
that are to come. The majority,
however, hold that the masses of in
fantry will remain the certainties,
and that cavalry and artillery will
continue about as they are in relative
Importance. Bismarck is not in
agreement in detail with the EN-
DerOr.

ever did more than follow him. He was

90 where he dare not take the lead, and
as the danger became greater Custer
was sure to be just SO much farther in
front of his columns. Tacticians had
censured him for that, and perhaps he
would have been with us to-day had he
abandoned it. But he was a dashing
soldier, and would rather charge upon
an enemy outnumbering him twenty to
one than seek vantage ground or lay
siege. He believed it to be his business
to fight, and he let but few opportuni-
ties go by, provided he thought the
enemy worth his mettle," quotes the
Sioux City Journal
Cluster had the most unbounded
faith in the rank and file of his regi
ment, but he never reposed the least
confidence in his subordinate officers.
He gave his personal attention to the
minutest details of his command, saw
that every trooper has his full allowance
of rations and clothing, and saw, too,
that the men attended just as carefully
to the physical wants of their horses.
He would never take the word OF cap
tain or lieutenant on such matters.
For that reason the subordinate COM
missioned officers hated him as heartily
as the men loved him. He insisted al
ways on being absolute in his command.

Indian ponies. But they halted on the
bluff, and looking back, saw their leader

enemy.

Palpitation of the Heart.

BY palpitation of the heart is
meant the sensation either of irregu-
larity in heart action or of rapidity
of heart-beats. The person who
expel fences it is usually alarmed by
the 81 nptom, and calls in the doctor.
But 4 most cases of this sort which
are brought to his attention, the ply
stefan finds nothing out of the way
with the heart, and hence of danger
to the individual. The cause of the
sensation is elsewhere. In the ma
jority of instances, the real trouble is
indigestion.
In almost all cases of actual heart
disease, no intimation of it is trans
mitted to the patient by any irreg-
ularity or like sensation of heart
rhythm.
AS a symptom, palpitation is valu-
able to the physician. in that it di-
reefs the attention of the patient to
the heart. An unusual sensation in
this region usually leads one to con-
suit his physician at once. Symp-
toms felt in other parts of the body
usually wait for "the more convenient
season"
DR.. Austin Flint was once sum
moned to attend a young lady dying OF
heart disease The family informed
him that his presence was wanted
merely to satisfy the lady's friends,
since they all understood the fatal
nature of her malady.
The patient lay in a room from
which not only light but everything
that might lead to the slightest nerv-
Gus excitement was excluded. 1t
was suggested to the Doctor that an
examination of the chest be omitted,
and that all communication with the
patient should take place through a
friend, lest the exertion should result
in immediate dissolution.
TO this the Doctor objected. When
admitted to her presence, he found
that she answered his questions in

and yet the scene of the elimination

our national history is given over to
railroad contractors. According to
the latest reports the points of the
field are disfgured and obliterated,
but, worst of all, and shame to our
country, the vandals, with pick-axes
and shovels, are tearing the bones
from what should be doubly hon.
ored. because unlettered, graves, and
carting them off In litter wagons.
The bones of the men who fought
and died, in mistaken or right
cause, for their country, carted off
and dumped for trash. How will it
read in time to come that private
citizens of the neighborhood, one of
whom had himself taken part in the
great struggle, went about after
nightfall gathering up the human
fragments as best they could for re-
burial? Shame to country or gov.
eminent too mean-spirited or too
careless to look after the bones of its
dead soldiers!

Did the Marsians Dig Them?

The interesting theory that the
canals" of the planet Mars are
actually the work of the inhabitants
of that globe has, perhaps. never had
so authoritative recognition as has
just been given to it by the dis
tinguished French astronomer, M.
Faye. 1t is worth while to read his
own words on this subject, as he adj
dressed them to the Academy of
Sciences in Paris recently. Referring
to the theory stated above, he said;
"For my part I incline to adopt
this view Professionally. I imagine
that under the almost constantly
clear sky of Mars, in the absence Of
formulating rains and Of fertilizing
rivers, the construction of these
immense canals became necessary in
order to conduct the slightly saline
water of the shallow seas over the
low-lying continents.
II suppose that the labor of max
ing those canals must have been
singularly facilitated by the feeble
ness of gravity and the slight density
Of the superficial layers, which it
sufficed only 70 scratch, SO to speak.
in order to make way for the water.
But / am quite ready also to accept
other views, if it is possible to make
the numerous details that we possess
upon this planet accord better with
with them"
The idea that beings resembling
men should be able to construct
canals averaging eighty miles in
width, and many thousands Of miles
in aggregate length, has generally
proved too staggering for acceptance,
but M. Faye is a scientific astron-
omer. and it is at any rate interest
ing to learn that he does not see any
objection to the hypo.

Palpitation does, however undoubt-

Among the common causes of pal
