Investigation shows that the Long

grief at the railroad crossing were the
authors Of their own misfortunes. The
railroad whistle was distinctly blown
and parties in the vicinity warned the
jewellers against crossing the track
but they were too hilarious to heed
the signals or the warnings and rushed
to their own destruction.

kaiser and Painter.

There was touching exchange of compliments the other day between Elm peror William and the Russian painter Verestchagin, whose works are now on exhibition in Berlin. The kaiser went to the gallery and was gracious enough to remind the artist that they had met before. s'Yes, your majesty" replied Verestchagin, '.and then you were only 'highness, but now you are majesty. " To this the kaiser is said to have replied, holding out his hand, And you, who wero great painter then, are now a greater one ''
 It is not altogether surprising that the Russian is reported as expressing deep respect for the emperor's critical powers, or that he quotes, as showing limitless historical knowledge, the em- peror's declaration, made at this mo- mentous interview, that if ever a judg- ment of God broke over a man, it was over Napoleon at Moscow " Meanwhile Verestchagin $ pictures will continue to reveal the horrors Of militarism, and thus supply one with the pleasant men, tai recreation of wondering what Eu- rope's one real war lord can see to ad- mire in the;n.

PROOF OF SINCERITY.
How An Army Officer Stood the Supreme
 Test of Belief In Fatalism.


 In the days of the ssold ar1nyn on the frontier, when military posts were sometimes hundreds of miles from any civilized place, there was little to do in the way of amusement ill the winter time when the post was snowbound, and it was then that the reputation the army has for card playing and drinking was gained. And it is true that great deal of both was done at that time.
 It was in these days that an event transpired that showed that the prin cipal actor had the courage of his con- victions, and that he was most certainly born under lucky star. It was after a very wet stag dinner party, and all had partaken most freely of the wine, and, strange as it may seem, the subject that came up for discussion was the Mohammedan religion. The Mussul mans believe in fate. To them a mans fate is written above, and the time of his death is set, and nothing can ad- vance it. We'll, this belief had been dis cussed long and earnestly. The pros and cons had been gone over at length, till one officer wanted to know of what use was reason if every one was born with a tag of destiny attached. One officer finally arose and said there was DO use of discussing the matter any further. The only way was to make a practical test of the question, and he would give himself as a subject. Could man willfully dispose of his life when the fatal moment had been chosen at his birth from above?
 He could get 10 one to try the experi- ment on him. Finally wager was made
 "Who will pay you if I lose?. said the subject as he drew his pistol and showed that it was loaded. He placed the pistol against his temple and pulled the trigger. The pistol missed fire. A joke, ? yelled the crowd.
 The fatalist smiled, and, recooking the pistol, aimed it with steady hand at the clock en the wall. He fired, and the bullet crashed through the center of the dial.
 Apologize to me now, he said. 1T have won the bet. always believed in fate. ."-Cineinnati Enquirer.

FISH AS FOOD.
The Dark Is Better Than the White For
 an Active Person.


 an Active Person.
 Mrs. $. T. Rorer, in The Ladies' Home Journal, contends that there has not been a sufficiently accurate analysis upon which to base any table regarding the chemical composition of fish at all reliable. "The albuminoid matter in white fish, as cod, haddoek and halibut, is ill about the same proportion as ill beef and mutton. They contain, how ever, more phosphorus-the active fish, such as trout and pickerel, containing a still greater amount, due no doubt to their activity. The amount of carbon depends largely upon the amount of fat they contain. The whitefsh are, there fore, deficient in carbon. If you should to serve with boiled white fish she would answer quickly, potatoes, as they supply the wanting carbohydrates.
 .'There are other kinds of fish, how ever, such as salmon, catfish and stur- geon, that are quite well supplied with carbohydrates, in consequence of which they are not so easily digested as the white fish. The more oil they have dis persed through the body, the more difii- cult the digestion. In the wbite fish the fat is held T tine liver; in the dark fish it is dispersed through the entire flesh. From this fact we learn that dark fish make much better diet for the active man. Many authorities affirm that the more active fish, as well as the more active animals give better muscle mak- ing food than their more indolent rela- tions. :"
