Various stories of the marriages of German officers and American girls

 Aich. embarrassing as il was at alst, has doubtless proved the most fortunate event of the situation. She was living in q German city that con- tains the largest American colony in Germany. and she became engaged to a lieutenant in one of the Prussian regiments stationed there.
 He was of an old German family and the prospect of his marriage to the girl was regarded with great favor by his family as well as her own. The en- gagement was announced after long courtship, and 10 similar alliance ever promised to result more satisfactorily. Every preliminary to the marriage, which was to take place in Europe, had been arranged. All thatremained was the payment to the administra- ton of the army of "cautions-geld, the sum demanded by the army in or der that the officers family may not beeomea charge upon the government.
 When German officers marry Ameri- cans this sum is paid by the brides family, and the present case formedno exception to that well-established rule. The check for the sum, which had been deposited in Berlin bank, was handed to the expectant bride groom few weeks before the date fixed for the marriage. His mother-in-
 aw elect gave t to him. A few hours later he left his betrothed, and from that time neither she nor any of her l family has ever laid eyes on him. In- vestigation showed that he had got the money before he went out of Germany, leaving hiss family. his regiment, and everything but the money, which in l this case amounted to Sl7000. Moth I ing was ever heard from him, and the l friends of the young woman continued their congratulations to her, although not just in the same spirit they were i begun.
 1he young woman m the case promptly put an end to all efforts to
 find the lieutenant. She was quite as
 charming and attractive as the ma
 iority of girls who marry German of i icers, but the man was an exception

The Tired prennher.

Psychologists have been investigating the nature of the poison which is en- rendered by fatigue. If the blood of a 'atigued animal be injected into an- Jther animal that is fresh and unfa- tigued, all the phenomena of fatigue will be produced. The poison which is produced by fatigue is of the same na- ure as that into which the Indians lsed to dip their arrows; and a most leadly poison it is found to be. In case is created more rapidly than can be ,arried off by the blood, the organism suffers seriously" A preacher should make it a rule never to work at his ser mons when he is tired. Tired compost ion is sure to tell injuriously on the sermon as delivered, and tired preach ng makes tired hearing. The biogra- oher of Dean Stanley says that one yource of the freshness which pervaded lis powers. It is too often forgotten strength. He had most clearly recog- lized the extent and the limitations of lis powers. It is too often forgotten hat a sermon has a physical as well as Tn intellectual and spiritual basis Iomiletic Review

It is singular that Kaiser Wilhelm should not have made any allusion to the manly and noble Won Moltke dur .np the whole of his funeral speech flying. It was all my glorious grand tather'' and Bismarck. The former was undoubtedly very amiable and estimable old gentleman, devoted to opera dancers, but there was less in him to admire than there was in Will Iiam's father, Emperor Frederick, whom he always carefully abstains from mentioning. Won Moltke was the |real hero of the Franco-Prussian war, without whom neither Bismarck nor "my glorious grandfather" would have attained to the greatness of reputa- tion in which they died. = Boston Herald.

The mountaineers regarded our surveys and railroad building as part of the government, and accordingly did not molest us.
 "All are hospitable, and, like the Arab, the mountaineer regards the stranger who has eaten his salt as be- ing under his protection.

When Devil Anse cane back the women had fed the de- tectives, and as they had eaten bread beneath his roof there was nothing for the old man to do but play host with the best grace he could show. He made the best of the matter, gave the men the lest supper and breakfast that the house afforded, and fed their horses. The next morning he sent them with guide by an out-of-the- way path out of the country.

No one is more prolific of clever ideas in aiding the escape of prisoners than an ingenious woman. The story is told of some criminals who were handcuffed and with their escorts stood waiting for the train 10 convey them to jail. Suddenly woman rushed through the crowd and, looking through heavy tears, cried out: Kiss me good-by, Nedl" The escort good naturedly allowed the process of os- culation" to be performed, and the sheriff smiled feelingly.

count as wasted the money that Con-
gress may expend to improve 1t. It's
achievements are the prOudest IN our
history and are treasured in every
heart that beats with national pride
and swells with the recoilections OF the
deeds of a not soon to be forgotten
past. In our school days we read OF
Decatur, of Lawrence, of Hull, OF Paul
Jones, and of Perry, and while their
memory lasts we shall be true to its
lessons and true in devotion to the flag,
as they were in other days.
We are going to have these three
great battle ships because we need
them, because we can have them, and
because money is not so dear to us as
national prestige England is now
spending one hundred millions to re-
new her fleets. She knows her inter
ests and her patriots are awake. Shall
we fear to risk fifteen or twenty mil
lions for ourselves? Every American
will say no.
We are going to have them because
we are proud of our name, because We
are proud of our race. and intend that
while America is free, while she is
great and powerful, the flag that has
come down to us from our fathers shall
remain unspotted and shall be kept
high up SO long as it is in our care and
keeping, and because We have deter
mined to at all times and under all
circumstances keep and fully maintain
our country where she ought to be
among the greatest, the most powerful
and the most respected nations in this
world (Applause.)
