A BLUNDER
Which Won for a General the
Rank of Field Marshal.

Chicago Record.
Poor old Field Marshal Count Won
Blumenthal, who, along with King
Albert and Prince George of Sax
ony, is one of the principal COM
handing generals of the war of 1870
that still survive, will be remem-
bered not only in connection with
the part he has played in the mil
itary history of Germany, but also
for the terrible blunder he made in
connection with a confidential letter
of his that, through some inadvert-
ence, found its way into print.
1t was addressed by the field mar
shall to his wife during the war
against Austria, in which he was
serving as second in command, chief
of-staff and dry nurse to the then
crown prince, who subsequently be-
came Emperor Frederick. 1t was
not until some years after the close
of the war that a fac-simile of the
letter was published in a Viennese
newspaper. While paying tribute to
the good nature and kind hearted
ness of the crown prince, BlumenthaI
expressed himself in a very depre-
catory manner with regard to the
latter'S military attachments. and
complained bitterly of being ham,
pered by his constant interference.
1t is bad enough" he exclaimed.
to be obliged to serve under the or
ders of donkey, but when that
donkey insists on poking his nose
into everything that does not con-
Germ him, and upsets all nv plans
the situation becomes well nigh in
tolerable"
Immediately on the publication of
this letter the horror-stricken Blu
menthal took the only course that
could be adopted-namely, he has
tened to the crown princes palace
LOT the purpose of presenting his
humblest apologies. "Unser Fritz"
GENIAL and kind-hearted as ever. re-
celVed him with merry laugh and
treated the whole affair as a huge
Joke, which, of course, only added
to the generals discontinue. And
TO show that he bore the general
no nance the crown prince insisted
on having Blumenthal as chief of
star In 1870, and took advantage of
MS short reign of ninety days to
confer upon his old comrade the
rank or field marshal and the dig
hlty or standard bearer of the en-
pre-. 1t was as such that Field Mar
shal Blumenthal bore the standard
OF the empire at the obsequies of the
late Emperor William, and likewise
at the funeral of Frederick himself.

A WOLF STORY.

A Russian correspondent writes to
the London Chronicle as follows: "a
peasant. with his wife and child, were
driving in a sledge drawn by one
horse from the Neshinslk market to
BobrovitZ. Soon there met the travel
ers' eyes a pack of hungry wolves. The
brave horse still galloped forward:
while the peasant, seeing that escape
was impossible, proposed to throw the
child to the wolves, but the mother
would not consent.
'Hereupon short struggle took place
in the sledge, which ended in both wife
and child being thrown out to the
ravenous creatures that were running
after the sledge on both sides of the
road At this juncture a most unfore-
seen circumstance occurred. The
wolves, giving all their attention to
the horse, did not even notice the
mother and child left to their fate on
the roadside. They eventually reached
neighboring village in safety. while
the cowardly and unnatural parent
fell victim to his hungry pursuers."

"Ah,' was the gallant answer, 81 am

good taste"

Indeed he replied, in open-eyeCi

Every, my dear miss; but may ask

LEAVES THAT CRAWL.
One of the Strange Stories of the
Wonders of Australia.


New Orleans Picayune.
Among the strange stories told about
the wonderful things to be found in
Australia there is one of crawling
leaves. English sailors first brought
an account of this phenomenon. They
We're roaming along the coast when a
sudden breeze shook down a number
of leaves, which f1oated gently to the
ground. The sailors were surprised at
this shower, because 1t was not the fall
of the year, but midsummer. and the
falling leaves looked fresh and green
But this was nothing to what followed.
After short rest the leaves began
crawling along the ground toward the
tree from which they came.
The sailors were too much frightened
to stop and investigate, and one of the
men said, in relating the adventure,
that he expected every minute to see
the trees step out and dance a horn
pipe. Fortunately other travellers were
not too much frightened to stop and
examine the matter 1t was discov-
cred that these queer leaves are really
insects which live upon the trees, and
are of the same color as the foliage.
~ iio'0 Feiy 'iiAii' Hdl DouieS, anu
wings shaped like the leaves. When
disturbed by breeze they fold their
legs under their bodies, then the leaf
like shape, with stem and all, is COM
plete. Not only are they bright and
green in summer, like the foliage of
the trees at that time, but they ac-
tually change like the leaves do to
the dull brown produced by frost
Another popularity of these insects is
that when shaken to the ground they
seldom use their wings. After lying
there for few minutes as though they
were really leaves they crawl to the
tree and ascend the trunk without
seeming to know that they have the
power to get back to their quarters III
a much easier and quicker way
