Twenty-Five years ago the great
battles of the Franco. German war were
fought That war of only $50 days
cost Germany, in dead and maimed,
5000 officers and 11o,7O1 men. It
appears almost incredible now that
within few months 81, French
officers and 7O2,O48 French soldiers
were made prisoners or compelled to
disarm.

The pneumatic boat of the Interna.
tional Pneumatic Boat Company, New
York, will be useful to sportsmen and
travellers. 1t resembles horse collar
made of india rubber cloth, but the
interior is provided with rubber boots
and trousers, into which the user
thrusts his legs, bringing the boat up
round his waist. He then walks into
the water and initiates the collar, which
buoys him up. OF course he can pro-
pei the boat by treauing the water or
by rigging up a sail, and he remains
quite dry. The "boat" is easily car
ried about.

AT Rome, Cavalry Lieutenant

individuals Tlo most usually accept

A church in Washington now has q
drum corps, announces the Pathfinder.
Things have gone on until church
is often no longer a church simply; it
Is a kitchen and dining-room and q
room for sociables, etc., with, Incl

meetings. The church should be made
attractive, of course, but should it be
made club-house?"

papers, and saw that her namo was
not even mentioned in connection
with the matter, He wrote to her a
loving, boyish letter, and told her she
must be true to him till be came out
and they would be married and go
away where this could never bo heard
of.
It was no small thing he had done
for her, he knew, and as he was not
more than human lie expected his re-
ward. And the little duchess had
cried quietly over the letter, and for
several days cut off silk and satin with
a pensive, unhappy look that quite
touched her customers those few
among them who realized that it was
human flesh and blood at the other
side of the yard measure.
Twenty months after the little duch-
ess was at the same counter measuring
silk and satin for the stock-taking,
when note was brought to her in u
writing she remembered too we'll.
81 got out to-day, Nellie-come
down to the Gardens in the lunch
time.
She hesitated when the time came !;
but, you see, he might come to the
shop, and that would never do. So
she put on her hat thoughtfully aud
set out for the Domain.
He was awaiting her on the seat
where nearly two years ago the gar
dener had smiled at them. He stood
up as she came slowly towards him,
and for a minute they gazed at each
other without speaking.
She was in black of course, but
fresh and daintylooking, with
bunch of white chiffon at het throat,
with her little tan shoes, and her hair
showing golden against the black of
her lace hat.
For him, his face had hardened,
the once thick, curly hair was horri-
bly, shorter, his hands were rough
and unsightly, his clothes hung awk-
wardly upon him and his linen was
doubtful.
"The little duchess !" he said, duly !;
then he put out his hand, took her
small gloved one and looked at it Gu
riously.
T-I am glad you're out" she
said, carefully looking away from
him.
'Yes-we must be married now,
Nellie; that's all I've had to think
about all this awful time"
His face flushed little under its
tan, and his eyes lightened.
"It's good not to see the walls" he
added, looking round at the springs
brave show, then away to to the blue
sparkle in the bay and the glancing
sails.
'We mustn't talk of that time,
though ever, ell, Nellie2"
"No, she said, regarding her brown
shoes intently.
His eye noted the smooth round
ness of her cheek, the delicate pink
that came and went, the turn of the
white neck.
"Aren't you going to kiss me, Mel
lie?" he said slowly and he drew her
little strangely and awkwardly to
him.
Then she spoke.
81 knew it wouldn't be any use,
and you'd never have any money or
get place after this. We couldn't
be married on nothing, and it would
only drag you down to have me, too.
Pm not worthy of you"
"Well, little duchess" he said soft
ly as she stopped and faltered; slow
smile crept over his face, and his deep
set eyes lighted up with tenderness.
Not worthy, his little duchess!
Then the crimson rushed into her
face, and she flung up her head de.
family.
81 married the new shop-walker
four months ago Hartford Times.

the middle of the mill walked right into
the mouths of these twenty-four devils
that were doing this vertical dance.
And 1t was all off. You have seen,
possibly, colored gentleman, an at
tache of your favorite free lunch coun-
ter, cut up cheese, haven't you? Well,
his work was hardly compared to that
of the cider mill. Itseemed tohave apos-
tive relish for timber. 1t went through
that stack of lumber-about half a car
load-like a tramp through hand-out;
and when, in about seven seconds. the
sidewalk had pushed them entirely
through the mill, there was pile Of
inch planks ready for market.
This sidewalk business seems to be a
sort of main push-a sort of floor walk
er Chats not half background lum-
Der mill. When the cider mill gets
through with the inch planks they trav-
ell right along to another moving side
walk. 1t receives them courteously to
its bed and bears them away as a bride
groom. Most any old place around the
mill yard is good enough for the NOV
| ing sidewalk to go. The new made
lumber Is carried along east, west, or
south until good easy place to dump
| 1t shows up, and goes back after more.
That's the honest truth.
[ stood on the bridge and saw two
men with pike poles steering the logs
that came down the boom. An endless
cable road came out of the water and
ran up a sharp incline into the mill.

C ommon Cause of Sickness
IN WARM WEATHER NOTHING so
DANGEROUS AS DECAYED FOODS.

Everyone knows or ought to know that de-
cayed foods are poisonous. Boa DIS OF Health
seek to prevent their sale.
We now have in mind the results when tol-
low the decay and decomposition of foods at
ter they have been eaten, for unless dlges-
ton occurs within q reasonable Time after
our meals, decomposition sets in.
| II dyspepties will stop and consider for
moment some of the symptoms of their
trouble, such as disagreeable breath, eructa-
tions of gas or bad taste in the mouth, thew
will understand that they all must come from
decaylng foods that ought properly to have
been absorbed into the system.
Spots before the eyes, dizziness, sleepless-
ness, dyspeptic headaches are but few or
the effects following the abso rption into the
blood of polsons developed from decompos-
ing and undigested food that lies in the stom-
ach.
1t was recognition of this important fact
that caused the Mount Lebanon Shakers to
devote so much of their time to the prepara-
ton of remedy for dyspepsia, and nothing
is more efficient than the Digestive Cordial
which they have recently placed on the mar
ket.
Its action is SO prompt that relief frequent
ly follows the very first dose. 1t restores
the appetite and increases the weight.
| Plumpness and strength take the place or
| weakness and that care-worn expression
| which points out the dyspeptics in every
| community. The local druggists are now CIV
ing away interesting descriptive pamphlets.

and who have kicked great black and
blue welts in the lap of luxury, yet who
are more ready and willing to accept a
little rough weather than the poor girl
who has stood for eighteen years look

high, according to geographers, guards
the confines of the domain. What
jewellers are there, its atmospheric

exploration-all these things are riddles
