A CoachmGn Told Him He would Never

An amusing little story about the pres
ent emperor of Germany. William lii.
and Vienna coachman was narrated nc
a banquet lately given at Vienna by
some diplomatists. the narrator being
himself we'll known and prominent
merbcr of the corps diplomatic.
In the year 1887 the present Emperor
William III of Germany, then Prince
William Of Prussia, came to Vienn.,
visiting his particular friend and chum,
the late Crown Prince Rudolf Of Aus
tria. Joined by the Prince Of Wales,
who was at that time also a frequent
visitor to the Vienna court, the three
princes took fancy to mingle with the
commons of the Vienna population.
Dressed in ordinary clothes, they visited
places which are not in the least regard
ed as suitable for princely guestA
One day they entered hotel, but in
stead Of going into the dining room they
walked into the "schwemme, a place
which answers in some degree to the
barroom of an American hotel; in this
room coachmen and the servants of the
hotel guests take their meals.

After listening awhile Prince William
put in word, and soon was drawn into
the excited discussion. Suddenly stout,
red faced coachman walked up to the
table where the three princes were seat

on the shoulder, said, Now, if you

The DAUGHTER.

The superior wisdom of the feminine
mind is shown in the fact that the
mother never rebels against her daugh-
ter's guidance. She is the first to dis
cover the young woman's wisdom and
she enjoys the security and sense Of rest
which come from feeling that she has
some one to depend upon, some one to
think and plan for her. She regards it
as providential that as the husband Of
her youth grows careless, as his judg
ment becomes untrustworthy as to de-
tails, as he grows inclined to shirk the
little questions which arise in the con-
duct Of the household, the daughter
quite naturally takes up the neglected
duties and assumes the management of
the affairs. OF course it is often diff
cult for the mother to live up to the
course the daughter marks out. She
sometimes finds herself deficient in the
strength or wisdom the daughter expects
from her. But this is not real trouble,
for under it all is the comforting sense
of being guided by a strong will, the
sense Of being free from responsibility
for the social and domestic welfare Of
the family is filling the young woman's
soul with satisfaction, flattering her
with the consciousness of her great use
fulness, making her realize her impor-
tance in the world. Kansas City Star.

"It's an i'll wind that blows nobody
good' is a we'll known axiom which
was verified once in somewhat peculiar
manner in the Philippine islands.
About IA years ago the first class iron
vessel Rhoodie, of 1000 tons register,
was scuttled in Manila bay, having
caught fire when on the point of sailing
with full and valuable cargo Of hemp,
pearl, shell, gum copal, bar copper and
other merchandise.
During the earthquake many months
later she was thrown up by tidal wave
from where she lay in 10 fathoms Of
water to close inshore in two or three
fathoms and was then purchased by an
enterprising diving and salvage company

sum of G14, when it transpired that her
cargo had not suffered from her long
submersion and was valued at about

A True Ghost Story.

Here is true story: The wife OF .
gentleman living in New Mexico lay
dying in Philadelphia. but the fact was
not known by the family at home. Dur
ing the night ghost-that is as good a
name for it as any other-appeared at
the bedside of the favorite servant and
nurse, woke her and whispered, "Te-
resa, be good to my children" The
nurse was frightened and woke the
household. She told her story, but the
husband laughed at her, declaring that
his wife was we'll and that Teresa had
had nightmare. Then, in the morning.
at about O'Clock, telegram came, an
nouncing the fact that the wife had un-
expectedly died the night before. Queer
world we are living in. isn't it? Now,
if you deny the statement and a million
or two other statements Of the same
kind, why that is one thing, and you
wouldn't be complimented by my opin-
ion Of your Judgment. And if you don t
deny the statement how do you account
for the occurrence? What really hap
pened, and why did it happen in just
that way? Think about it for few

They were about the size and shape of

with a great deal of wood carving gild-
ing and vermilion. A canopy covered
the top, supported on poles. and between
these were curtains of crimson gauze
embroidered with gold stars. The inside
was lined with white velvet stamped
with colored flowers, and there were
more cushions than l knew what to do
with. Four men carried each, and four
more ran beside to relieve them. 1t was
none too many. The weight was enor-
nous. and all the comfort might have
been secured with one-third Of the ma

A Rare Coin.

A coin of great rarity, which is worth
several thousand times its face value, is
in the possession Of Harry O'Grady, a
conductor in the employ of the Reading
railroad. 1t is copper penny of 1888,
which bears upon its diverse side bust
of Washington and the inscription,
washington and Independence. The
coin was given to Mr.. O'Grady by his
father, who priced it very highly, hav-
ing ON one occasion refused $3.50 for it.
Several years ago similar coin was
given by George Simpson Of New York
to President Harrison upon the occasion
of the latters visit to New York city
during the celebration of the centennial
Of Washington's inauguration. Mr..
Simpson presented another of the coins,
for which he had paid $3.50, to the Bar
tholdi statue fund, "to be placed under
the statue of Liberty in New York har-

ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW.
General Harrison Advocates Town Meet

General Harrison Advocates Town Meet
ings Once or Twice Year.
President Harrison, in series of
articles on This Country of Ours" in
The Ladies' Home Journal, writes Wig
orously of the great necessity of the peo
pie insisting upon the strict enforcement
of the laws. Directly upon this point he
says: "We need general assemblies of
the people in the smaller civil subdivi-
sions, to be held regularly once or twice
year, town meetings in which two
questions only shall be considered:
First, are the public officers faithfully
and honestly transacting the public bust
ness? Second, are the laws-not this law
nor that, but all laws-enforced and
obeyed? All questions of law reform
should be excluded, left to parties or So
cieties organized to promote them. The
enforcement of the law, whether we op
posed or aided the making of it, the
strict accountability Of public officers,
whether we opposed or aided their cleo
tion, should be the objects and the linn
its of these meetings There should be
no distinction of persons.
"Our law and order movements are
too apt to be confined to what we, not
too accurately, call influential people.
Every man and woman ought to have
chance to choose his side, without re-
gard to station or wealth or race or col
or. There will be none too many. In
some such movements it has seemed to
me that many have been assigned to the
wrong side who would have chosen the
right. There is danger that such may
accept the place they would not have
chosen. Can any working plan be de-
vised to maintain from day to dcy an
effective watchful interest among the
body of our citizens in the enforcement
of the laws, and in clean, honest ad-
ministration of public affairs-small
and great? Or are we to accept the hu-
initiating conclusion that bad things
cannot be made good, or even better,
until they come to be persistently and
utterly bad; or still worse, that when
the river of popular indignation has
cleaned the stable it is only to leave us
without supply Of water for daily sani-
tatiOn?'

Cromwell's Head.

A correspondent writes: "It may
come as surprise to many to learn that
Cromwell's head, in, under the circum-
stances, fine state of preservation.
is at the present time in the possession
Of gentleman who resides in Kent.
The head was lately shown to Mr.. Hamo
Thornycroft, who is executing the bust
Of the Protector, which has been sub
scribed for by the ex- x-premier and others,
and the sculptor, it is said, entertains no
doubt whatever as to its genuineness. A
study Of the head has afforded Mr..
Thornycroft material assistance, though
one of the casts-of which there are sew
eral in existence-taken almost immedi-
ately after death, has probably been a
safer basis in the execution Of the work.
The hair ON the head, which is Of red,
or rather auburn, color, is In perfect
preservation. and SO is the short beard. "

HAIR UNDER THE MICROSCOPE.
One of the Many Important Factors Ii
Murder Gases.


One of the Many Important Factors In
Murder Cases.
In centuries past the human hair
played an important part in all judicial
proceedings. Those that were permitted
to wear beard and hair had rights that
could not be claimed by the shorn and
shaved. When men made oath, they
touched their beard and hair, aud wom-
en- placed the finger tips Of the right
hand on their tresses.
Servants were obliged to have their
hair cut, and if freedman went into
slavery he had to divest himself of his
hirsute adornments. An adult adopted
by foster parents was obliged to have
his beard shaved and the shaving Of
beard and hair was punishment in
fiicted on criminals. The Jurisprudence
of our ancestors dealt with punishment
"by skin and hair" for small offenses
and "by neck and hand" for greater
crimes.
There has always been more or less
superstition about hair. Great strength
was implied by it, and wizards and
witches knew Of concoctions of hair by
which they poisoned enemies. Cats hair
was especially named in the category Of
poisonous hairs, and even at the begin
ming of the seventeenth century Paulus
Zacchias, famous physician, writes Of
the virulent poison of the hair of cats.
Among civilized people such supersti
tious beliefs have gone out Of existence,
and only Malays give their enemies
tiger hairs in broth to kill them.
Hair today, however, is one of the
important factors in deciding murder
cases, and the microscopic examination
of hair, where it is found in criminal
cases under suspicious circumstances, is
invariable.
The first thing the coroner is called
upon to determine is whether the hair
is from man or beast. The microscope
determines this beyond peradventure.
Animal hair differs in construction from
that grown on human head. In human
hair the upper skin is smooth and thin.
The circular section is comparatively
broad forming the main part of the
hair shaft. 1t is striped in appearance
and carries the color matter. The tubu-
lar part is thin, extending to about one
fifth and certainly not more than to
one-quarter of the entire width of the
hair.
Animal hair also consists of three
parts, but these are differently con-
structed, the tube often filling the en-
tire hair. The ends of the hair must be
closely watched, and especially woman 8
hair will be found ragged and torn at
the ends.
The hair from boards is usually the
thickest, its diameter being as much as
O. 8 millimeters, while hair from female
heads can be as fine as a diameter of 0. 06
millimeters would make it.-St. Louis
Republic.

The Consideration with which Women
Prisoners Are Treated In Austria.
| In Austria n woman, no matter what
she may do, is never regarded or treated
quite as criminal. She may rob, burn.
kill-set every law at defiance, in fact,
and break all the commandments in
turn-without fear of ever being called
upon to face gallows. She is not even
sent to an ordinary prison to do penanee
for her sins. The hardest fate that can
befall her indeed is to be compelled to
take up her abode for time in con-
vent. There the treatment meted out to
her is not so much justice seasoned with
mercy as mercy seasoned, and none too
we'll, with justice. Even i'll official re-
ports she is an "erring sister one who
has, it is true, strayed from the narrow
path, but quite involuntarily.
The convent to which Vienna sends
its erring sisters is at Neudorf, only
few miles away from the city. There
any woman who is convicted Of either
crime or misdemeanor is Mt once trans
ported. The judge before whom she il
tried decides of course how long she
shall remain. He may, too, if he deems
it right, give orders that while there she
shall pass "A day in solitary confinement
from time to time and ON these occa-
sions be less plentifully supplied with
food than usual.
In the great majority of cases, how
ever, no instructions of this kind are
given. The women are simply handed
over to tho keeping of the superior of
tho convent, to be dealt with as she
thinks best. She houses them, feeds
them, clothes them and provides them
with instruction and occupation, and the
government gives her for what she does
30 kreutzers day for each prisoner un-
der her care.
convent the full responsibility for their
safe keeping and general we'll being
rests on the superior and in return she
is allowed practically free hand in
her management of them. There are, it
is true, certain regulations in force with
regard to the amount of work they may
be required to do and the punishments
that may be inflicted on them, but these
are not of a nature to interfere seriously
with her freedom Of action. She is, in
fact, virtually an autocrat within her
own domain, and there are not half
dozen women in Europe today who have
go much power for the veal or woe of
their fellows as she has. s.-Cornhill Mag

The country people Of England, as
we'll as of several other countries, have
an idea that the red of the robin S breast
was caused by a drop of blood which
fell upon it at the crucifxion. Accord
ing to the story, the robin, commiserat-
ing the condition of Christ, tried to
pluck the crown Of thorns from his
brow, and, in doing so, got its breast
wet with the blood flowing from the
wounds. The color became permanent,
being transmitted from generation to
generation, and thus, according to the
legend, the robin is a perpetual remind
er of the sufferings of Christ.
