from his blue coat, the chapeau from
his head, and taking the dress sword
from his reluctant grasp reduced him
TO ordinary civilians attire. 1t was
great blow to the poor fellow, who
never could understand why he could
not be allowed to continue wearing the
uniform in which he had been accus-
toned to attend Count DArco in his
native land.
One of the attaches of the Russian le-
cation, Mr.. Gregor, half n score of
years ago gave Washingtonians their
first glimpse Of a genuine Russian
drosky. The turnout, with the spirit
ed team of horses and dramatic access
cries, even TO the stolid-looking, big
nosed driver with bushy crop of hair
cut straight from ear to car, standing
out like a whisk-broom under his pecul-
iarly fat, low-crowned hat, were i'm
ported direct from Russia. The drivers
general appearance was an instance In
which the picturesque had been OBJ
tanned without regard to beauty. He
wasa skillful driver, though, and under
stood perfectly the art of producing a
sensation strangely akin to a panic
whenever he elected to dash along the
fashionable promenades, the jingling
bells of the douga keeping up musical
accompaniment to the leaders, dashing
pace.
But the day of droskys, uniformed
tootmen and paneled coats-of-arms
would seem to be swift gliding into his
tory. Cabinet ministers, members of
the supreme court, including the chief
justice, ambassadors, ministers and
other dignitaries, freely use the cable
and electric cars. OF course, after the
theater, the opera, the lecture, or the
church services at night, our upper
tendon ladies must have their own
carriages to convey them home; but
that is for convenience and comfort,
and not for style.
Once upon a time there was a senator
from New England who constantly en-
ployed public conveyance belonging
to o colored man who was great deal
blacker than the ace of spades, or my
thing else black that you can think of.
The ladies of the family called him
Crow" and he never objected to the
name. But, one evening after the the
alter, the senator's daughter thought
lessly asked an usher TO 'call Crow"
Without reflection the usher cried:
Call up Senator Blanks Crow" This
appellation was new to the hacking fra
ternity, and they laughed uproariously
as Grow" drove up to the door of the
theater. The man was mad clear
through. He declared that he would
not take the ladies home, but a police
man threatened him with arrest unless
he did so; and the ladies entered the
coupe. Instead of driving them home,
Grow" drove straight to his stable,
where he unhitched his team, and COM

rying annually from 100000
to 100000 cubic meters of sewage to
be distributed by scientific irrigation
over the surface of municipal farms
having an aggregate extent of about
$4,000 acres, or upward of 3S square
miles. Additional land has been
bought from time to time. Thus, the
past summer an ancient, aristocratic
estate of 1000 acres, the immortal seat
of one of Prussia's proudest families,
with fine old chateau and magnifi-
cent park of stately elms around it,
was purchased at the price of 100000
marks (about $1,100,000) for no other
purpose than to be added to the irriga-
ton district and to be transformed
into orchards and wheat fields.
1t is interesting to note that the sew
age farms of Berlin measure to-day so
per cent. more in extent than the whole
territory on which the city itself
stands, and that capital of altogether
$32 100000 has been expended on the
whole Berlin sewage system, including
the farms and their improvements and
machinery. The farms are, of course,
all cleared and tiled, and are now, after
the whole venture has been fairly under
way, richly productive. Thousands OF
tons of the finest fruits are annually
sold in Berlin stores which were grown
on these sewage farms, though I
confess that on a visit to these sew
age farms not long ago the idea that
this unsavory-smelling land had pro-
duced, perhaps, the very velvety peach
es or the delicate-flavored pears l had
yesterday had on my table, was not
wholly to my liking.
From an American point Of view 1t Is
novel to consider city's drainage
works as a self-sustaining or productive
enterprise, like it's waterworks or it's
gas works, but it is precisely in that
light that Berlin regards it. Before
the new system was introduced, the cit
liens had to pay for the removal of
night-soil, etc. So 1t created no new
burden on the citizens when they were
required, under the new sewage sys-
tenn, to pay sewage rate. That is, at a
moderate rate, charged against all
property served by the new system.
The parts of the sewage farms that
have been brought under closest culti-
walton are very profitable and the rest
of the land is becoming more and more
so year after year. The net income
from the entire 80 square miles does
not yet pay the full interest on the in
vestment. The fertilizing value of the
sewage is so great, and the administra-
tion of the farms so superb, that within
another five years the investment will
have become enormously productive,
although the land, when bought, was
rather sandy and arid, as most of the
soil in the immediate vicinity of Berlin
naturally is. Eventually the sewage
farms will have earned profit enough
to pay back all that was invested in
them, and they will then become a
source of surplus income that will mate
rally lessen the burdens of the munic-
ipal taxpayer. After 1900 a sinking
fund will be created, into which annu-
ally portion of the profits from the
farms will be paid, and the amount of
the loan necessary for the purchase Of
the land will thus be gradually paid off.

he suggested as much.

OLD OAkEN BUCKET.
How Little Elsie Illustrated One of lie
Favorite Songs.

How Little Elsie Illustrated One OF Her
Favorite Songs.
A dear little girl, named Elsie, was
quite a singer, and very fond of an old
song, familiar to most children, called
THE Old Oaken Bucket" Elsie was
taking lessons in drawing, which inter
ested her very much. She drew pictures
in all her spare time, and often leased
mamma with the question::
"What shall draw next, mammal"
Mamma always suggested cows, or
cording to the first idea which came
into her head. One day, in answer TO
Elsie's usual question, mamma re-
Piled:
"Draw the old oaken bucket Elsie.
You are very fond of singing The Old
Oaken Bucket Sit down and make Il
picture of it," .....
This was new. Elsie, with deep
satisfied breath, sat down and staid
quiet about five minutes. At the end Of
that time she brought mamma this
picture:
what upon earth does this mean?"
asked mamma. 1T looks like conun-
drum, Elsie; or like the sun, moon, and
stars!" ...
Elsie looked at her design with great
pride, and little impatience at
mammals obtuseness.
"Why, don't you see, mamma" she
cried. THE first one is the old oaken
bucket and the next one is the iron
bound bucket and the next is the
Inoss-covered bucket that hangs in the
well!'"
Then mamma laughed hard, leaning
back In her chair, while she held Elsie's
sketch at arms-length to see it better,
as artists always look at pictures.
"And what are all those little spots
for, Elsie?'
"Why-those, mamma?" said Elsie.
"Those are the spots that my infancy
knew!"' -Harper's Round Table.

Gated the bridge of Arcole as the scene
of action. After u moments reflection,
he said to his sergeant: 1T is neces-
sary to pass TO the other side"
Don't you know that you would be

gcant.
IF know will be drowned. be-
lieve 1t all the same"
"Then CO." said the sergeant.
"But my drum will get wet
Put it on my knapsack," said the
sergeant, land beat it,"
So the drum was fastened TO the
knapsacl Of the equally brave sergeant,
while Andre followed, beating II as
though whole regiment was behind
him, whereas but few grenadiers had
rallied to his call, and waded or swan
to the opposite bank.
The enemy, surprised and believing
n whole corps advancing, abandoned
the cannons which had not ceased to
sweep the bridge, from which Napoleon,
flag in hand, had just before been driv-
en- back into quagmire, and from
which ignoble position his grenadiers
now rescued him, and, fired by his I'M
daunted courage, the gallant lines were
formed once more.
The recognition which Andres brave
deed received Mt the time was a pair Of
golden drumsticks.
In 1903, when Bonaparte was once re-
viewing the consul's guard, in which
Andre had been entered, he stopped be-
fore the little drummer, who was using
SO vigorously his golden sticks, and de-
manded Of him on what field of battle
he had gained this recognition. The
drummer recounted to him his story.
1T is not enough, my brave boy" re-
piled Napoleon, and, detaching the
cross from his own coat, he fastened il
on the breast OF the drummer.
Ettienne remained drummer to the
| end of his life, and in 1880 entered tho
| Tenth legion of the national guard,
where he remained until his death in
1888. His act of heroism at the bridge
| Of Arcole was an army classic, and ut
their banquets his story was often told.
In 1881 the officers of the garrison OF
Paris were reunited Mt the Cafe Foy, in
the Palais Royal, under the presidency
of Gen. Lamarck. MERCER, his colonel,
invited this evening Andre to come
with his drum and famous drumsticks
At dessert he was asked TO tell his
story, which he did with great modesty,
and actually swooned when the officers
present eulogized him, recalling also
his heroic conduct at Marengo.
The story of his death is almost fabu-
lous. According TO Mistral, 1t followed
visit he made TO the Pantheon.
Among the heroes sculptured on the
pediment, he figured, beating his
drum; Andre himself, the little drum
mer.
Look, father" said to him his daugh-
ter, who accompanied him, pointing to
the figure. The father looked, muir

TEMPEST IN A BOTTLE.
A Very simple Experiment Invented by n
belgian Professor.

Some of ouryoung eXperimenters may
be interested in IA simple device for max
ing real rainstorm in n bottle. The
only apparatus necessary is tall bottle,
like the one shown in the cut, and an
ordi@ary coffee saucer. The bottle is
half filed with alcohol of 92 degrees
strength, and heated IN bath of water
until the alcohol, the bottle and the
saucer are of an almost equal temper
Azure. Then the apparatus ia removed
from the water, wiped quickly with a
soft cloth, and the eXperimenter is
ready to watch some wonderful trans
formations inside of the bottle.
The vapor of the alcohol soon rises
and fills the bottle, but the saucer cools
rapidly, and the vapor being warmed Is
quickly condensed. Real clouds appear
In the upper part of the bottle, and pres
emily, as the cooling process goes on,
tiny rain drops form and fall just as in
regular shower. .... e..
The whole process of the distribution
of moisture on the earth's surface il

Is the ocean or the lake, the air above

long hair that fell in ringlets about his
shoulders. One day he was accosted on
the street by very dirty bootblack.
who cried: "Shine your boots, sir!" The
urchin was very importunate, and the
professor finally said: 81 don't want n
shine; but II you will go and wash your
face, will give you sixpence." The
boy went off very readily, and made his
ablution at an adjacent drinking foun-
tain. Returning, the professor gave
him the money, saying heartily: lyon
have earned it fairly" 81 don't want it,
old chap" said the boy, with lordly air.
