The following might be taken as an
illustration of very broad hint. A
great military man says that he once
sat next Prince Bismarck at a dinner
party, and at very slight distance
from the old emperor. Bismarck was
literally loud in his expressions of
gratitude and loyalty to his sovereign.
"He has great generosity of disposi-
ton" he declared. Zone day he said
to me: How can l ever show my sense
of the many obligations am under to
you?
4 replied that it was unnecessary,
but that if he would send me few
bottles of certain hook he possessed,
it would be very welcome. That was
five years ago, and" said the prince,
raising his voice, she has not sent
them yet.
''Hushl hushr' whispered the other.
ellis majesty will hear YOU"
''That is just exactly what | want
him to do" said Bismarck,-Ycuthss

THE EARLY RISING HABIT.
1t May BE All Right, But Let Your
NeIghbors Rest.

1t May BE All Right, But Let Your
Neighbors Rest.
The praises of early rising have been
sung from time immemorial, and man
kind, in that indolent, unquestioning
spirit which is so ready and willing to
accept almost any theory or dictum
without troubling itself to ascertain if
the encomiums bestowed upon it are
merited, has taken it for granted that
it is a cardinal virtue to leave ones
bed at daybreak.
But that can hardly be a virtue
which develops in the people who
practice it disposition to render
themselves obnoxious to their fellow
mortals.
Now, it has been observed that the
first impulse of man, woman or child
who is addicted to the early rising
habit, upon quitting his couch. is to
awaken and keep awake as many other
people as possible. Sometimes this alb
normal predilection seeks the adventi-
tious aid of a lawn mower sometimes
it utilizes the chopping block, or the
wood saw, and sometimes again it
in extreme and violent cases it bangs
upon tie piano. Evidently the object
sought is to make of ones self an alarm
clock to arouse the leighborhood, and
it matters little, apparently, what kind
of noise is made SO long, as it is a
noise of some sort.
This tendency to noise on the part of
the early riser is not confined to the
human species. 1t is found also among
the early risers of the brute creation.
The cock, the earliest of risers, is
notable offender with his shrill clar-
ion; he sometimes carries the virtue of
early rising to such excess that he ap-
parently does not turn in at all, but
keeps himself up, and by consequence
his racket, all night long. The calf as
sails the dawn with his exasperating
bleat; the COW is up bright and early
with her mournful lowing; the horse
neighs and the tuneful mule awakens
the echoes with his stentorian hee-
haw.
In word, be it among man or the
lower animals, it is always the same.
The early riser is a pestilential nui-
sance, and instead of being praised for
his virtues, which he has not, he de-
serves the disapp1obation and execra-
ton of all with consciences sufficiently
tranquil to be able to sleep in the
morning hours but for the malicious
interference of the early riser.
The only humane person is he who
sleeps until the early sun is high in the
heavens, and he gets his reward as he
goes along, for he not only permits
others to enjoy sleep when sleep is
most enjoyable, but he at the same
time enjoys it himself.-Boston Tran

GUARDING AGAINST BURGLARS.

Recent ImpEovSmsnts ,AfAde In the Con-
sStruetLon Of Vaults and Vault Doorr.
The most vulnerable part of a vault
now is the edge of the door It is al
most impossible to obtain an absolute
ly tight joint, one which will be i'm
pervious to liquid explosives The old
method of attack was bypowder blown
into the crack of the vault door. As
the construction of these doors became
more perfect this was made impracti-
cable. Then, says the Washington
Star, the burglar turned his attention
to other explosives and to-day he uses
nitroglycerine. Nitroglyceriue when
warm runs, as freely as water. If the
crack of door is not absolu tely tight
the nitroglyeerine will find some small
lodging place in it. When exploded it
rips off the door, tears off it's outer lay
ers or opens a space where a larger
charge of explosive can be used. If the
joint is too well fitted to permit the
use of nitroglycerine and the vault is
in an isolated place where powerful
explosives can be used, dynamite
is laid against a weak spot and
we'll tamped. Its explosion either
makes an opening or wealzcns the
walls or door so that tools or
other explosives can be used to ad-
vantage. With a guarantee of COM
parative freedom for operation set'of
burglars can enter a modern vault lin
one to eight hours. The shortest
process is usually by the use of ex-
: plosives, and it has been found that
the high explosives are singularly
local in effect and produce very little
Sound. Hammer and sledge arc often
used, though burglars prefer boring,
with the use of q blow pipe to draw,
the'tenper of the steel attacked. hut
the modern construction renders this
sometimes extremely difficult because
of the high, conductivity of iron and
the close contact of the cold steel
adjacent.i Burglars seldom attempt to
make holes of more than an inch in
diameter, and the heat from the small
flame which canbe introduced through
such hole is quickly dissipated.
Sometimes the burglar bores Through
the soft metal and breaks the inter
vening sheets of hard metal with the
blows of a,ihamrner, removing che
inetalpiecemeal. 1t is estimated that
4h: expert with finely tempered tools
will work through an inch Of vault
wall in an hour. 1t sometimes hap
pens, though, that an expert burglar
abandons job after penetrating che
onter layer of steel because his poorly
+ teniperad tools were all dulled in the
attempt. -. -.--

Gently. 1t was the. .enpuql migration

black with them, and 5he noise Of their
cawing was almost deafening. When
they got to the falls the lit in large

WASHINGTON, March 31.-The fact
that Speaker Crisp had declined the
nomination as senator to fill the unex
PRED term of Senator Colquitt created
considerable remurk at the capital toa
day. Mr.. Crisp is quoted as expressing
a determination to remain with the
house, owing to present awkward stu,
atoms, believing that his position as
speaker and chief representative of his
party demand that nothing which
would have the slightest tendency to
aisorganize the democratic forces in
the house should be permitted no in.

There is no doubt that had Mr..
Crisp chosen to abandon the battle
feld-for such the floor of the
house has become OF late-it would
have caused some friction to have
secured a new speaker, and would have
pitted the democratic fnctions in such
o way as to cause great and lasting an
noyance to the party.
The statement is made that Mr.. Crisp
declined after consultation with the
president, in which the Inter requested
him to remain in the house.
The administration, said one mem
Der, lis in no position to %entrust such
vital measures as the tariff bill and the
coinage measures which arc certain to

could at all be questioned-in other

a quarter of IN hour in it's presenta.

overcome with emotion and requested
a repetition. This is by no means the
first musical treasure of the ancient
Geeks which has been brought to light
and translated. There are the music,

two hymns OF Dionysius, to Caiiope

None Of these are particularly enchant-

Natives Make Them Turn Out of the Path
When They Meet.
LONDON. April "A gentleman who
resided for u long time in Samoa has
contributed an article to the Times in
which lie says that although the threat
TO disarm the natives brought matters
to n crisis, the real cause of the upris-
ing is the want of unanimity among
the European powers. The Germans
and the English, he adds, never worked
well together, Their mutual jealousies
have so undermined European in
tiuence in Samoa that no European is
able to live with comfort or security in
h islands. The natives are simply
%unbearable. Far from treating Euro
peans with respect, they expect a white
anan to quit the track when they meet
him. This is a calling humiliation to
the men residents, who. being colonial
bred, are not in the hnbit of pampering
natives. The Snnhonns are naturally q
presumptuous race. They are hard to
drive, but are easily led. They have
beer SO thoroughly pampered and de-
moralized by the rival powers that it is
IN open question whether without seri-
u bloodshed anything can be done
with them. In the meanwhile the posi-
ton Of Europeans is unenviable. Both
dial etoa and Tennessee in their hearts
do not care twopence for either side.
They would sacrifice anything or any
body to their own interest. James
Francis Hogan. IL member of the house
of commons and secretary OF the colo
NAL party in parliament. has received
a letter from an English resident Of
Samoa declaring that the joint control
is n failure. The writer urges that
England join the Samoan and Tongan
groups to New Zealand and thut the
other powers withdraw.
