His Ticket Saved Them.

Mileage tickets in Berlin go by the
name of "kilometerheft," and the
stamped stubs show exactly where
and when the holder of the ticket was
at any given time and place. This is
what saved the drummer for a Carls-
ruhe firm the other day in a predica-
ment. Just as he was climbing into
the train leaving for Mannheim he
was arrested. An awful crime had
been committed few hours before in
the Haardt forest, not far away, and
the minute description of the perpe-
traitor tailed exactly with the appear
ance of the unfortunate drummer.
Then the ticket came to the rescue
That furnished an undeniable alibi for
him, as it showed him to have been
100 miles from the scene Of the crime
at the time Of it's occurrence. The
proof was furnished so promptly that
the drummer did not even miss his
train.-Boston Transcript.

Shooting Stars,

A shooting star is really not a star
at all; it is merely one Of the meteoric
stones that are all the time revolving
in great swarms around the SUM- g.
These bodies, some large and some
small, are constantly falling within
the attraction Of the earth Their We
locity is so great that when they en-
ter the earths atmosphere the resist
ance offered by the. latter produces
friction and that friction heats them
to the point of combustion. +"
Most of them are burned up without
our seeing them, but very often one
will go blazing across the sky, leaving
a long trail Of fire in it's wake. A
shooting star, therefore, is nothing
more nor less than a meteor burning
up in the earth's atmosphere. The
brilliancy of the spectacle depends
upon the size Of the meteor and it's
distance from the earth.
AS we have told you before, if it
were not for our atmosphere, which
serves us as a coat of mail, every liv
ing thing on the earth's surface would
be pelted to death by these myriads of
falling stones. The atmosphere saves
us by burning them as they fall.
Sometimes one escapes total destruc-
ton and really reaches the earth.
Many specimens Of this kind have
been found and are now exhibited in
museums in different parts of the
world.-Philadelph Sun.

The Bone Was Bent.

A case entirely new to medica,
science came under the observation Of
the physicians at the Maryland uni
versity hospital recently. James Ty-
mon was the patient, and he was
afflicted in peculiar way. Tymon is
employed at the bakery of D. w
Lord, at No. 10 East Camden street,
and is about nineteen years of age.
While at. work he, accidentally fell
upon his right arm. He felt AN acute
pain in the member, as if it had been
fractured. The pain was intense and
finally Tymon's employers sent him to
the hospital, where he was examined
by the physicians in charge. To their
surprise they discovered that, instead
Of being broken, the bone Of the fore
arm was bent so as to form almost
circle, and was firm in that position.
1t was something that the physicians
had not come in contact with before.
1t is supposed by the doctors in at
tendance up Tymon that the bone had
become softened in some way. either
through constitutional weakness OF a
peculiar diet.-Baltimore Herald.

She Was the First Star.

Every now and then an anecdote
comes to the front showing that our
first president liked the theater as we'll
as do his followers of today. The point
is mentioned in one of the many the
atrical stories narrated in that new
book, "Shakespeare's Heroines on the
Stage" Says the author of the book: "A
Philadelphia Portia of this same sea-
son of, 1884 comes of a noted family,
being none other than Mrs. Eliza Whit
lock, the sister of Mrs. Siddons and the
Kembles. In England, at the age of 81,
she had made her London debut. as the
heroine of 'Shylock' on the 22d of Feb
ruary, 1888, and, though somewhat
masculine in face and figure, yet dis
played so animated countenance and
SO graceful bearing as to win mod
crate degree of favor. A few years after
coming to this land she enjoyed the dis
tinction of playing the first star en-
ngagement on the American stage, being
engaged for $3.50 and benefit, to play
at the Boston theater in October, 1895.
There she repeated her Portia, contend
ing with the remembrance Of Mrs.
PoWell's representation of previous
season. She also had the honor of play
ing before George Washington in Phil
adelDhia.'' Ya55

To Guido Vanderbilt.

1t is said that John D. Rockefeller
will soon begin the erection of al
chateau which will rival that Of
George Vanderbilt in North Carolina.
The Rockefeller mansion will be Of
white stone, which will stand near
his present house, commanding a mag
nifcent view of the Hudson river. The
architecture will be Of the renaissance
style, and the building will probably
contain several hundred rooms. The
house will be lavishly furnished and
will be lighted by electricity. In
architecture, finish, furnishing and
decorations it promises to be the finest
country establishment in America.

Two Little knights.

There are two knights Of the ancient
and illustrious order Of the Golden
Fleece who are under ten years Of age.
One is the nine-year-old king Of Spain,
while the other is the eight-year- old
duke Of Braganza, the crown prince Of
Portugal. ta
It seems that the king of Spain is al
ways grand master of the eight Span
ish orders Of knighthood, the princi-
pal Of which Is that Of the Golden
Fleece Toison de Orc, as they call it
In Spanish.
Two years ago the baby king, with
due pomp and ceremony, presented the
decoration of the order to his young
cousin the duke Of Braganza. The
decoration consists Of the royal arms,
which includes, besides the arms of
CASTLE Leon, Grenada and the lilies of
the royal house Of Bourbon, the arms
OF Austria, Sicily, Saxony and Bra
hant. Surrounding the whole is rep

Contrasts in Customs,

One of the most enjoyable things il
travel is to notice how etiquette varies
from land to land. In America, when
q steamer leaves, the men Shake hands
and the women kiss each other and
sometimes cry. In France and Italy,
especially, tile women weep, while the
men kiss and hug each other, almost
as vigorously as if they were in a
wrestling match. An American Wo-
man shakes hands with man of her
acquaintance, while in Spain she al
ways gives her hand to be kissed. 1t
makes the same sensation in Madrid
for man to seize WOman's hand
and shake it as it does in New York
for a foreigner to seize a New York
woman's hand and kiss it.
In America it is rare for wine or
beer to be seen on the table at wo-
rams luncheon or dinner party. In
Europe, not to have them would be
considered the height of discourtesy
Among the Western nations, to offer
a visitor a cup of tea is to invite him
to prolong his visit. Among the East
ern nations, it is the conventional in
timation that it is time for him or her
to go. An American man removes his
hat while talking to woman, while
the E'cad" keeps it carefully perched
upon his ear In China native man
would sooner lose his head than be
seen without his hat on when in COM
pany, while the ruffian takes it off as
a mark of disrespect.
We put on our best shoes when our
friends call or when we call upon our
friends. In Japan, q woman takes off
her shoes at the threshold and makes
her call in her stocking feet upon the
hostess, who is similarly attired.
Among the Anglo-Saxons, the most
cordial invitation is 7ttIe1p yourself
and be at home This, in the tropical
lands, is very bad form. You express
the same pleasant thought there by
saying, "My servants are yours, and
that one pointing out the best one)
is your boy whenever you are here"
, In Western lands every guest has
his OF Ler own knife. In Eastern
lands. to give guest knife is an in
suit, etiquette demanding that the Ia
Dor of cutting be done by the cook and
not by the guest. In America, Il wo-
man will not expose her ankles to
view, while an Ar ian woman Heven
thinks Of her lower extremities, but
regards the exposure of the face as a
positive crime.-New York Mail and

THE BICYCLE WAR,
Is Likely to Be instrumental in At
vance Work.

"
Is Likely to Be Instrumental in Ad
vance Work.
Military authorities have come to the
conclusion that the bicycle will play an
indispensable part in the wars of the
future. It's sphere, at least in it's early
military stages, will be that of the Uh-
Ian OF the 1870 war. The cyclist, in
preliminary operations, will act as an
lmrpenetrable advance cloud or screen
for the army. pushing far ahead into
the enemys theater Of operations, MAX
ing his power felt long before the arm
les have chance to come together, par
alyz1ng the enemy's communications,
making descents now here, now there,
often rashly and often making. mis-
takes. In spite of this he will always
be able to obtain information for head
quarters better than any other form of
scouting, feeling the enemy retiring be-
fore him when outnumbered, but con-
testing the ground wherever there is a
chance for contest. He will, in fact.
pursue exactly the course followed by
the Prussian cavalry in the early days
of the Franco-Prussian war; always
acting in company with Lighthouse ar
tillery, with the gunners mounted on
bicycles, and not according to the pres
ent out-of-date system of caissons.
With these and the flying cyclists it
is believed the modern army has an Of
fensive combination such as has never
been equaled. The cyclist will be a.
crack shot with the rifle, and that will
be his only weapon.

Each Carrying q Sack of Corn ON
~ F His Shoulders.
his two sons, John and James, aged,
respectively, thirteen and fifteen, left
their homes to go to mill, each carry
Ing a sack of corn on his shoulder.
They had to go on foot, because Of the
steepness of the path which led over
the mountain. ,.-
Owing to an unusual amount of
grain already in when the Turner's ar
rived with their grists. it was after
nightfall before they were able to set
out for home with their meal on their
backs. Meantime. a snowstorm had
come, up and the ground was covered
three or four inches deep with snow,
while the flakes still fell thick and
fast. Mr.. Turner led the way. AL
though the path was covered up, he
knew every landmark on the mount
ain, and Notwithstanding his heavy
load Of meal, to which he had added
the weight of small quarter of fresh
venison, bought of the miller, he went
briskly along, followed by the lads.
They never once thought of danger
until the whining snarl Of a wolf
sounded close to them. This was just
as they reached the highest rocky
comb Of the mountain, where the for
est was thin and stunted.
'sBoys, keep close to me-" said Mr..
Turner; chats wolf"
James and John did not need to be
twice told; they pressed their fathers
sides as they tludged, and their hearts
beat quicker. aS,. b"
At first they thought that but one.
wolf was following them, but soon
enough it was certain that at, least a
dozen snarling and hungry animals
were yenturing closer and closer to
their heels.
Mr.. Turner made his sons go ahead
Of him, while he brought up the rear,
defending himself by frequently turn
ing about and yelling savagely.
Wolves are great towards until they
have once begun an attack; but when
the fight opens they are desperately
savage. 49,
For some time all went we'll. The
pack sneaked and snarled close behind
Mr.. Turner. But all at once some dim
forms showed themselves in front of
the boys, and began to make danger
GUS passes swapping their teeth keen
ly and urging one another on. Mr..
Turner, yelling loudly, pressed the
boys forward, until they reached a
place where their way led along the
foot of great cliff Of limestone If
he could reach certain point he
would make stand for defense. And
