ARMY NEWS.

REPORTED SPECIALLY For The LIGHT
Lieutenant Hoskins, of the Light
battery, has left here for the north
on three months vacation.
Private Smith, late of Troop G,
Fifth cavalry, reenlisted yesterday
for troop F, of the same regi-
ment.
Private Yarbough, of the bat
terry, is discharged the service of
the United States.
Night before last one of the
general prisoners filed partly
through the iron bars of his cell
window with the intention of es-
Gaping. The scheme was discovered
by Sergeant Griebe, who was SER
geant of the guard, and nipped in
the bud.
There was one candidate for en-
listment for the infantry this
morning.
A correspondent, writing from
Fort Ethan Allan, Vermont, says
Troop F, of the Third cavalry,
commanded by. Captain G.. A.
Dodd, is continually giving ex-
hibitions of horsemanship to the
people of Vermont, and the riding
and feats accomplished by the
members are phenomenal.
General Merritt has disapproved
the acquittal in the case of Act
ing Hospital Steward Ottoman,
A. Oliver, tried by court martial
at Fort Reno, for the abuse of GER
tain public animals by excessive
driving over heavy roads, with
heavy loads and with INCREASED
aXles.
"Under such conditions the ami
mails were, in brutal disregard of
their plainly apparent DISTRESS"
says General Merritt, "forced
ahead under the whip until they
finally reached their destination so
exhausted as to be unserviceable
for week." The Steward pleaded
''want of experience with animals"

ATTEMPTED INCENDIARIsM.
Frank Smith Discovers Fire in Jesse
Yantls' Barn.

An attempt was made to burn
up the barn of Dairyman Jesse
Yantis, of West End, Wednesday
night, about 9 80 O'Clock.
Frank Smith, a neighbOr, no.
ticed a light in the barn, and on
going to the place saw that pile
of hay in the manger was ablaZe.
He Immediately raised the alarm,
and the family Of Mr.. Yantis, and
also the neighbors, were soon on
the scene to assist in saving the
place.
The blaze. was making rapid
Roadway, and the barn would have
been destroyed, but for a fire ex-
tinguisher, which was kept in the
barn. The damage amounts to
something over 800.
Mr.: Yantis and his brother,
Jack, were on their ranch, about
fifteen miles west of here, at the
time, working ON a windmill, and
they first learned of the occurrence
yesterday.
TT will be remembered that about
six months ago Mr.. Yantis was
burnt out. He believes it is the
work of some malicious person,
although, he says, he knows of
no one whom he has ever wronged.
He, says he tries to treat everyone
right and hopes that in the future
he'will not be mOleSted. He says
he knows no one whom he has rea-
son to suspect.

SHORT STOPS.
v hat the People are Saying


We are as tickled over our sewer
farm as child over new rattle,
but like the new rattle, the sewer
farm will be likely to sour on our
hands.
But everybody says it is bar
gain, and if we should not use it
for a sewer farm we could turn it
into a graveyard.
Not many years hence we will
have to find more graveyard room
for the steady marching column
that is crossing the boundary of
the living, scheming world.
The same crude opinions that
have pertained about the river as
channel to carry off the filth of
the city, prevails about the river
itself. We are not lacking people
who talk wisely about the river
drying up.
If we could take the testimony
of competent witnesses regarding
the state of the river for the past
fifty years we would find that it
has had its years of fullness and
its years of scant supply, all along.
But the river is yielding larger
supply today than at any previous
time in the history of the city for
domestic and irrigating purposes.
About the supply; anyone who
has paid attention to the under
ground supply knows that the real
bed of the river spreads over the
entire gravel bed of the valley. If
it could all be exposed to view we
would have a wide stream.
Some people have attributed the
low water to the artesian wells.
Any well trained geologist would
be able to controvert this idea.
The head springs are artesian in
their character but flow from a
source above the great artesian
basin.
The logic of the whole matter is,
that the same sources that have |
led the river for hundreds of years
will continue to feed it.
The artesian wells, which have
been drilled through thick stratas
If sandstone have brought great
supply of water from a still deeper
md more permanent source. The
same agencies that have filled the
great artesian basin are at work
continually.
Today our city is the best FORTH
led city in this country on the
water question. The day may
,ome when large population will
demand a greater supply. Then
We can dam the Medina, as Austin
has the Colorado, and create a
great lake to draw our supply
rom.
The people understand the rea-
'on for all alarms about short
water supply.

Everybody has heard of the great
st. Bernard dogs who have saved in
the Alps SO many travellers who have
fallen exhausted in the snow, and Of
the great Newfoundland dogs who
save people from drowning; of dogs
who bark when they have discovered
a fire until they alarm the people in
the house, Of dogs that have killed
poisonous snakes to save some one
they love, of dogs who will carry
baskets in their mouths, and of dogs
who will go on errands. But do not
believe you have ever heard of dog
who would carry his mistress dress
in his mouth over muddy places in
the street. There is such little dog
in London. He goes chopping and
calling with his mistress, and she pay s
no attention to her dress. The little
dog trots behind her with the hem in
his mouth. He never let's it touch the

LINCOLN'iS SIMPLICITY.

An incident that has probably never
appeared in print was related by
Schuyler Colfax, regarding Abraham
Lincoln, and is given in Bells Altoona
Gazette. 1t was during the dark days
of 1868, on the evening of a public re-
ception given at the White House.
A young English nobleman was just
being presented to the President. In
side the door, over awed by the
splendid assemblage, was an honest
faced old farmer, who shrank from
the passing crowd until he and the
plain faced old lady clinging to his
arm were pressed back to the wall.
The President, tall, and in a measure
stately in his personal appearance,
looking over the heads of the assem-
bly,, said to the English nobleman.
excuse me, my lord, there's an old
friend of mine''
Passing backward to the door, Mr..
Lincoln said, as he grasped the old
farmers hand: "Why, John, Pm glad
to see you. I haven't seen you since
you and I made rails for old Mr.. -,
in Sangamon County in 1S47. How
are you? ,"
The old man turned to his wife with
quivering lip, and, without replying
to the salutation, said, Mother, he's
Just the same old Abe !"
an r. Lincoln" he said finally,
1--WE had three boys. They all enlisted
in the same company. John was kill
ed in the seven days fight Sam
was taken prisoner and starved to
death, and Henry is in the hospital.
We had a little money, an I said
Mother, We'll go to Washington an
see him. AM while we are there,
We'll go up an see the President"
Mr.. Lincoln's eyes grew dim, and
across the rugged, homely, tender
face swept the wave of sadness his
friends had learned to know; and he
said: "John, we all hope this miser-
able war will soon be over. [ must
see all these folks here for an hour or
so, and [ want to talk with YOU" The
old lady and her husband were taken
into a private room in spite of all
their protests, and at the end of the
reception had a real visit with the
president.

When men first settled in Babylonia
there was no stone. "Dig where you
WILL" say Chipiez and Perrot, ''you
will not find a stone in the country,
from Bagdad to the sea, larger than
nut"
But they found ready to their hands
in the river most abundant materials
for making bricks, with which their
temples and towns were built. This
clay they mixed with chopped straw.
In some cases they merely dried the
bricks in the sun, and such was the
consistency of the clay that it is even
now difficult to break these bricks.
In other cases they were burnt. In
the case of the burnt bricks they in
tercalated layers of reeds, and bound
them together by bitumen, instead of
mortar. This was chiefly brought
from Hit, on the Euphrates, where it
still abounds.
The bricks were beautifully made
in molds, and in the normal pattern
were about one foot square, four or
five inches thick, and rectangular in
shape, and sometimes triangular or
otherwise formed, SO as readily to
make up into arches and vaults.
Many of them bore the names of the
early kings impressed upon them, as
may be seen in specimens in the Brit
ish museum. Brickmaking was truly
an important art in these early times.

A person with broad nails is of gen
tie nature, timid and bashful. Those
whose nails grow into the flesh at the
points or sides are given to luxury. A
white mark on the nail bespeaks mis-
fortune. Persons with very pale nails
are subject to much inirmity of the
flesh, and persecution by neighbors
and friends. People with narrow
nails are ambitious and quarrelsome.
Lovers of knowledge and liberal SEN
timent have round nails. Indolent
people have generally feshy nails.
Small nails indicate littleness of mind,
obstinacy and conceit. Melancholy
persons are distinguished by their
pale or lead colored nails and choler
ic, martial men, delighting in war,
have red and spotted nails.

THE EMPRESS OF GERMANY.

me Empress of Germany rises ear
ly and breakfasts with the emperor
every morning at eight o'oclock. At
nine she is in the nursery, superin-
tending the baby's toilette arranging
with the nurse for the walks or drives
to be taken by the children, and al
ways decides what clothes are to be
worn py the young princes. At ten
o'clock the empress receives her
houseKeeper, and attends to the
luncheon and dinner menus, always
including one or two favorite dishes
of her husbands. A few moments
every morning are spent in the linen
room, and not sheet or buster is
given out except under her direction.
At IL she goes riding with the empe-
ror or walking with two of her boys.
Luncheon comes at 1; and all the
children, except the baby, are pres
ent at this meal, which is conducted
without much ceremony. After
luncheon the emperor and empress
play with the children for an hour.
The empress receives from 3 until 5,
and in this time considers charitable
cases. There are sometimes as many
as fifty guests invited to dinner,
which is at six O'Clock, and lasts an
hour. One servant waits upon two
persons, and every little detail of the
service is closely watched by the en-
press. She goes every night with the
emperor to see the children; and it
there is the slightest illness among
them, she sits up all night, and sees
that the DOCTORS directions are car
ried out. In the nursery she wears
soft white flannel wrapper and
large apron. Her early education
was very simple; and, although she
understands French and English, she
does not care for foreign fashions or
literature. Until her marriage she
had not read a novel. Her bedroom
and sitting-room are simply furnished
with blue. A large allowance is made
for her personal expenses, yet she
makes with her own hands all the
birthday gifts for her own and the
numerous ia mily.

Nine. De Stael had fallen out with
Viscount De Choiseul, owing to GER
tain malicious reports circulated by
the latter. One day the lady and the
viscount met in company, on which
occasion good manners required that
they should speak to each other. Nine.
De Stael commenced:
ssWe have not seen you for long
while, M. De Choiseul."
"Ah! Nine. PAmbassadrice, I have
been ill.,
"Seriously, monsieur"

calais! Possibly you took bite at
your own tongue"
This joke fell like thunderbolt on
the viscount, who was a notorious
back bitter and mischief maker. The
lesson was a severe one, but he richly
deserved it, and had not a word to
say.
When boy frightens his playmate
by appearing suddenly around a
a corner and saying "Bo!" he is us
ing very ancient word. There was
once a general of the Cloths named
Bob, who was so fierce and warlike in
appearance that for many centuries
mothers hushed their children by tell
ing them to be quiet or Bob would
come and get them. This was finally
corrupted into Bo, the familiar
ssscareword" of to day.
