The Last of the Garrison.

In the course of the giant struggle be- fore Metz, handful of chasseurs flung themselves into small rcd roufed farm house, determined to sell their lives dearly. They barricaded the ground floor as strongly as they were able, and from the upper story opened fire on their assailants. For nearly two hours the Prussians were kept at bay. The storm of rife bullets riddled the roof and up per walls, and finally one by one, the chassepots were silenced. Concluding that the ammunition of the little strong hold had at length been exhausted, and prepared for q savage hand to hand tus- sle with the garrison, the Prussians burst through the barricade and effected an entrance.
 To their amazement the ground floor was unoccupied save for little girl of 5, who looked up into their faces with a smile of happy unconcern. She had been playing with her doll, and evident ly thought that the heavy firing had been an odd new game which the grown ups had been having especial ly for her amusement. As the big blue eyed sergeant caught her up ill his arms ana klSSc1 neF, SHe dShGt, Nllu dIl ttIf of disappointment, why they had stop ped the pretty "boom boom. Through the terrible death wrestle of two mighty nations this happy little house mother had been pleasantly absorbed ill family cares. The wrath of kings, the sayagery of ancient race hatreds, were things she could not understand, even the hurri cane of fire and lead had seemed to her but such strange elemental music as the wren in its nest hears when thunder shower sweeps over the woodland.
 A ladder led to the upper floor of the farmhouse, and when the conquerors as scended they found among the wreckage of shattered roof and crumbling walls the rest of the garrison-no more than nine in all--lying dead. Beside them lay the mother of the child, with a chassepot still clutched in her hand, --% Good Words

IS THIS A NATION OF GRUMBLERs
A Hotel Man Says That Guests Here Arc
 Extremely Hard to Please.


 Americans are said to be the best natured people ill the world, and it is also often said that they will put up with more inconvenience and discomfort without grumhling than the people of other countries. So spoke a prominent hotel proprietor one evening last week. He went OH "I do not wish to contra dict these broad statements only so far as they relate to our people and our hotels. We have by far the best hotels in the world, aud this is no idle, Fourth of July boast, and yet of all the people on earth our own are the greatest grum- blerS and the most eXIctinS after they have placed their names on a hotel reg ister.
 'To say that they simply want the earth is sometimes putting it mildly. They want not only that, but want q roof garden on top of it which will per init them to grab the moon. They want the best of ro4mS, food and drink, baths in every room, electric bclls speaking tubes, stationery and an amount of wait ing on that to satisfy somo of them would necessitate providing front for about every guest.
 And, then, if this is all made S;ltis- factory, and there is nothing else to kick about, they kick about the charges. Now, one often hears comparisons made between this country and Europe, to the decided detriment of the United States. If anything goes wrong, it is immedi ately said that such a state of affairs would not be tolerated i'll Europe. But one will notice that unfavorablc com pariSOns made between our hotels and those abroad arc generally mado by Americans who have never visited Eu rope. Europeans know better. We have the best hotels ill the world and those of London, Paris or Berlin are not to he compared with them. Enlightened for eigners will generally readily admit this themselves. Just now every guest VIC have wants d private bathroom, and no matter how full the house is feels az grieved if it cannot be had. There is a man staying i'll the house who recently returned from Paris. While thcro he staid at the hest ur at least the highest priced hotel i'll the city. But no matter what he Was willing to pay he could not get d private bath. He could not even get bath on the Samo floor with his suit of rooms, but had to go down stairs to the hotels public baths.
 "Then. again, much has been said about tho cost of living ill this country compared with that abroad, The truth is. good living costs more i'll London and Pario than it does i'll New York Of course I speak of the comparative prices of the really first class hotels and res taurants I like to see our people go abroad, as when they get home they ere. as rule f2r better satisfied witk their own country than thov wcrt be- fore. and especially with our hotels and modes of travelling.

and that can be sold over the counter of department store for 9 cents. Since I got ill among the works of Thackeray and Cervantes and Moses on the bargain counter among the boys pants, and slightly sOiled lawn mowers, and corset covers, and molasses, and wooden butter stamps, and organdie remnants, my books sell well, and we keep good deal more help at home than we did when I wrote on science and sold my books per sonally.
 Bartholomew Bowersox, Topeka - Yes, you may be able to arrange a match for October with the boxer you refer to, and this column will give you every possible encouragement. You should train down little, however, in the meantime, if your photograph is cor rect, and be careful about your diet. am sorry to learn that your mother is opposed to pugilism and that she spanks you violently whenever she learns that you have arranged a match.
 Police Commissioner, Ticktown, N. C.-Yes, yuu do right ill enforcing the stock law and shooting at people who are on the streets after o'clock p. m. without permit. Persons carrying con- cealed squirrel rifles over eight feet in length are liable under the statute, and you did right ill killing those you saw. Moonshine whisky sold on the place without license and on Sunday should be turned over to the authorities. Re marks made by policemen while under the influence of liquor will have to be sworn to ill the presence of two wit nesses Property taken from the person of prisoners should be returned after awhile.
 Tray Beyend, Erin Prairie, Wis.-In entering q public place the lady should precede the gentleman, but in going down the aisle of the church of course the usher would precede you very prop erly. If you found the lady who was a stranger ill your pew, you did wrong ill glaring at her and making her get up to give you the corner of the pew. It is barely possible that the usher, thinking you had gone for the summer, as you had not been to service for some weeks, had seated the lady ill your pew. This often happens. One of the meanest in- suits ever received was under similar circumstances, and the pew owner was a woman, so that a personal encounter Was rather to be avoided than other wise. It discouraged me so to know that an innocent taxpayer ill Christ $ church, as l think it was called, should be hu- initiated and insulted by woman old enough to be his mother, that I have been d little timid about going to church without ar escort ever since

 baSQues, which form a stiff frill round the waist. Stiff shirt fronts are very much worn with these coats, especially pink OF blue ones, with stiff turndown collars and cuffs One of these costumes is almost indispensable just now. The skirt is always useful with blouses for the house, and the little jacket is easily slipped on.
 Bonnets, like hats. show 3 tendency for getting broadcr: and toques arc still in favor TLc Admiral hat seems t. f13 few admirers. and indeed not many can venture to wear it to advantage. The circular shape still holds its own, especially in white willow straw, the edge of the brim ruched with chiffon, the back slightly tip tilted, q mass of flowers and bows of lace rampant on the crown. Tiny capotes of paillettes have surrounding frills of lace distended on invisible wires and bearing q garniture of aigrets and flower clusters.
 A charming picture hat noticed was of biscuit colored chip, raised on one side by coronct of red rosebuds. Round the low crown were a twist and up stand ing bows of black chiffon, balanced by bunch of the roses, and across the back was a large, fiat bow of black velvet, whose ends hung down to the shoulders. The bicycling rage appears to be bring ing about change ill corsets. At all events, these are getting lower and lower indeed they are little more than broad belts just now, and therefore quite prac- tical and comfortable for women who ride the iron steed.
 Bathing suits are largely made in serge, though alpaca and silk are both much used. The most popular style has skirt, knickerbockers and blouse waist.

He Had Not Observed the Motion.

''I was born in Ireland and raised in Missouri, but by some inexplicable com bination of circumstances l learned to read and write,' said ex-Sheriff Dono- hoe of MendOcino. 'When I first struck this coast, 1 was broke, and taking par donable pride in my superior education decided to teach school. The trustees who employed me suggested that read in, spelin an d little figgerin was all they desired their children to know, and some of them didn't want them to learn that much for fear that they would know more than their parents.
 After short time added geography to the other branches and used nice round pumpkin for the cath, and q buggy spoke for its axis. The continents were marked off with charcoal, the oceans were yellow and the frozen zones were chalked.
 "One day one of the trustees dropped in while I Was revolving the pumpkin earth on its axis around large pump kin sun while my prize pupil worked an apple moon. The trustee listened atten- lively. hut said not word till l dis missed the pupils. Then he tapped me on the shoulder and remarked.
 :" Say, young feller, come across the plains ill '49. all guess if the 'arth had been round I'd "a noticed it. didn t experience no trouble nowhere a-hangin on Maybe t was because the underside never come 7ur way. but l reckon it s more likely that the 'arth didn't whirl round on h.ck'ry stick Them pun kins would male good pies, and he tucked one rl','r' each arm and disap- | peared.

How to Preserve n Piano.

The lumber material is highly sea soned, and is therefore sensitive to ex- treme or violent changes of atmosphere. Avoid them ill every way. Avoid damp ness, as that causes strings and turning pins to rust and the glue in exposed places to soften, all of which impair the quality of tone.
 Be careful not to drop any small ar ticle, like a pin, between the keys or in to the action. It may lodge where it will produce jingle or jarring sound. The instrument is not responsible for that
 Sometimes the keys turn purple or blue, and this is caused usually by ink from the fingers of the performer. Use alcohol and a woolen rag. and remove it as quickly as possible.
 To prevent moths from eating felt and cloth, put a lump of camphor in- side, near the action, occasionally re- newing it.
 New pianos should be tuned every three or four months for the first year, after that at longer intervals.

 bpyright, 1895, by Edgar W. Nye.l
 Reginald Kcrsox, West Liberty, N Y., writes: "Is it necessary for a gent to remove his hat in public elevator upon tho entrance of lady?"
 No, it Is not necessary, and you will have to use your own judgment about it, but other nations do not feel above lowing and removing the hat on enter ing a parlor car and lowing on entering or leaving public dining room. Prob ably inside of 200 years we will be doing so too There's nothing lost by being truly polite, but it must be born in you. If you only do what is necessary" in that line, and politcncss iS not in your heart, your vulgarity is sure to burst forth when it is not necessary" to con- ccal it.
 Maudic, Massachusetts Avenue, Wash ington. Yes, you will find some trouble in getting a high salary as a teacher of physical culture unless you come highly recommended. I would be glad to help get up class for you if I saw any en- cOuragement, but my nearest neighbor k q widOwcr, 60 years old, who does not care for physical culture, and my team iS SO busy stacking now that we could not run around much.
 J. 1. C., .Tantsvillc Wis, writes: 1T called last evening oil a young lady friend at an hour set by her, but found her out What must do:'
 You were fortunate ill finding her out thus carly. Some men wait 20 years after they are married, and even then don { find her out. You should go right on with your business if you have one and not get go excited. She will bitterly regret her foOlishness before so years have passed over her head, or my judg- mCut in such matters is of little value.
 EStcllc MCGce, JaneSville, Wis, as if in answer to the above, writes as fol lows: II am sure, dear Mir. Nye, that you will laugh at me when write to you that am in deep trouble from ali estrangemcnt which has come between me and tho man I love. 1 was possibly very thOughtlcSs and asked him to come and call on a certain evening, and then I went away and left him to visit man. ma Tell me, please, what to do, and will do it. Oh, I am so unhappy!"
 Tho advice of this department is that you put a blue mark around this para graph and mail the paper to him. Then stand by the postottice door until you see that he gets it. Common Wisconsin sense will tell you what to do when you see him. and may you be happy, Estclle, is the wish of one who is writing these lines ill ink and porspiration with his suspenders wiltcd and dropping on the tluOr.

who name colts and things for you. Will you send us something ill the way of a souvenir, and also tell us what to do for hivcS?'
 You are misled regarding my gener- osity by some one who did not know me. Twenty years ago I earned for myself the sobriquet of ''The Mean Man From Maine" You should have named your little son Russell Sage, Insomnia. That would be a melodious name, and Russ might loan the little chap the ferule of his umbrella to cut his eyeteeth on. l cannot. have no umbrella. You should white~ash the hives in June or earlier. Half past ? at night is good time to treat hives, while the bees are at rest. Should you get stang, put quid of warm, humid fine cut tobacco on the place at the earliest possible moment.
 Marguerite, Hollyhead, Canada, writes as follows: II am very unhappy indeed, and the course of true love is not run ming at all smoothly. The gentleman to whom I am engaged, though a model of goodness, colors his mustache and chews tobacco. What should I do? Is there an antidote for tobacco?'
 You might be happy with such a one perhaps if you would be patient and use stimulants whenever you see him coming. Show him this paper also. There is no thoroughly sure antidote for tobacco, but a man can overcome the use of hair dye on his mustache. But can man with dyed mustache have pul e heart? Idoubt it very much. You must be sure of this, Marguerite, or your life will be perfect-well, one cannot be too careful in such case.
 Flossie, East Perth Amboy, N. J. Your penmanship is very good, and the poem you send shows merit. Still you are too young to write on scientific sub jects, evidently, especially in verse; Wait few years, Flossie, till you have seen more of the world and then send me a few cords of your be. >poetry.

 stones, And mid them, gleaming white, bleached
 skulls and bones. The red Apache OCT it sweeps something's To re-enforce its horrors with his crimes, Or Mexicanos, on some sweeping raid, Add to its corpscs with their bandit trade, Within it's silenccs their rifles crash, In its sun glarcs their crimson knife blades

How to Mako Roe Salad.

One pair of large fish roes, two gills of mayonnaise. teaspoonful of salt, let tuce leaves and enough onion for flavor ing. Wash the roes. Put them into a saucepan with the salt and boiling wa ter to cover. Boil very gently for 20 minutes. Remove, drain and set away to cool When cold, cut in dice. Make the mayonnaise in plate, the bottom and sides of which have been rubbed with the cut side of an onion. When ready to serve, arrange the roes in a salad bowl, cover with the dressing and line bowl with lettuce leaves.
