The Emperor of Germany receives
and congratulates officers and function
aries just promoted, Foreign Ambassa-
doris, German Princes, and members Of
the aristocracy, chatting with each a
minute or two. frequently he changes
his uniform six or seven times, hav-
ing enough uniforms of all nations,
grades, and arms to clothe small
army. Suppose the son of an artillery
General comes to announce the death
of his father. The Kaiser, to honor
the memory of valued officer, dons
the uniform of General of artillery.
He makes the costume fit the compli-
ment. For foreign Ambassadors or at
taches he wears some uniform or deco
ration conferred on him by the soy
ereign of the dignitary in question.

There Was One

rs there man in all the audience, .
demanded the female speaker on wo-
mans rights, fiercely, that has ever
done anything to tighten the burden
resting on his wife's shoulders? What
do you know of woman's work? Is
there a man here, she continued, fold
ing her arms and looking over her
audience with superb scorn, that has
ever got up in the morning, leaving
his tired, worn-out wife to enjoy her
slumbers, gone quietly downstairs,
made the fire, cooked his own break
fast, sewed the missing buttons on the
children's shoes, darned the family
stockings, secured the pots and kettles,
cleaned and filled the lamps, swept the
kitchen and done all this, if necessary,
day after day uneomplainingly If
there is such a man in this audience,
let him stand up. 1 should like to
see him."
And far back in the hall mild-look-
ing man in spectacles, in obedience to
the summons, timidly arose. He was
the husband of the eloquent speaker.
1t was the first chance he had ever had
to assert himself.

This curious beetle derives it's name
from its habit of burying any small
dead animal left on the surface of the
ground. With such rapidity does it
work that two beetles have been
known to cover up a sparrow within
a few hours; and so unwearied are
they that if several burying- beetles
are placed in vessel filled with earth
and kept constantly supplied with
dead frogs, mice, etc., they will con-
tinue to bury them as long as the sup
ply is kept up. The object of this re-
markable instinct, so beneficial in its
effects, is to furnish food for the
young who are Matched from eggs laid
in the body of the animal during its
burial. In this way innumerable car
casses, which would pollute the atmos-
phere, are removed and made bene-
fetal to the soil.

ACQUIRE BRAVERY.
One Soldier Tells How to Overcome
Inherent Cowardice.

81 would like to let young men
know" said an old soldier, "that bra
very, like almost any other attribute,
can be acquired / would like to let
them know this, because there are
some poor fellows who are brought in
to the world with a timid nature that
causes them much suffering. While
having an admiration for brave men,
they feel that they are towards, and,
accustoming themselves to this belief,
they never attempt to fight against
their weakness. Do you know / really
believe that most of the noted brave
men of the world have become brave
simply by Systematically overcoming
cowardice. Did not Lannes, Napo-
Icons most dashing general, say: The
man who says he never felt fear is a
poltroon and liar But while Lam
mes thus acknowledged to the sensa-
ton of fear, he never allowed himself
to show it, and that is the point. More
over, by practice such things become
easy. Now, if there is any young man
who is coward and wishes to become
brave, let me say this to him: Make up
your mind first of all that it is much
preferable to suffer death than to be
trampled upon or Inundated. From
what you have experienced you know
the disgust. the suffering. acute and
degrading that results when you back
down in an unmanly fashion. Say
this, then, I much prefer to die than
to experience such feelings again. I'm
press it upon your mind, and then, as a
test to your spirit, force yourself to
face those things that you have been
avoiding from fright. If a man has
been overawing you, blufing you, in
plain terms, lay for him deliberately,
bluff him back double, and if he wishes
to fight throw yourself upon him with
vim and punch hard; he cannot do
more than kill you; and, as you have
made up your mind that it is better to
die than to submit to humiliation, your
death, as it were, is thing already
programmed. And, if you whip him
the sensation is very agreeable and
frees you from any further fears of
falling victim to cowardice."

Hindoo Pursuit of a Treasure.

The following incident occurred re-
Gently in one of the largest hotels in
Calcutta. It appears that about a
week ago an officer of the Gordon
Highlanders arrived in town on his
way home. He had large sum of
money with him-about 1000 rupees
and the usual jewelry of an English
gentleman. These were all locked in
one of his trunks. Returning from
the dining saloon to his room the other
evening, he was just in time to see
some suspicious-looking natives bolt
ing down the corridor On entering
his room he found, on examination,
that all his trunks had been forced
open and the contents thrown about;
but, strange to say, not a piece of his
money was missing nor any item of
jewelry. He believed that the burg
lars were Afridis, and the object of
their cupidity copy of the Koran be-
longing to the Mad Mullah, which they
somehow learned was in his possess
sion, The book was rolled up in an
old singlet and thus escaped the
searchers, who appear to have tracked
the officer from the front.

microbes in Playing CARDS.

DR.. Rappin, a distinguished special
list, of Nantes. has been investigating
the bacteriology of cards. Expert
menting with cards used by patients
lconsumptiyes and others at the hos
pital at Nantes, he found {. 16O bacteria
on square centimetre of the card.
most of which were the potato bacil-
1us. On cards used in public cafes
and in private families he has found
the staphylococcus pyogenes aureus.
one Of the agents that generate sores.
He recommends that people be careful
of contamination when playing cards,
especially with consumptiYe persons.
and he draws attention to the bad habit
of certain players holding cards by the
teeth, or wetting their fingers in their
mouths to shuttle them.

WHY ELEPHANTS FEAR MICE.
Resembles Little Animal which
Causes Death in the Jungle.

ensembles Little Animal Which
Causes Death in the Jungle.
1t seems Incredible that so small and
harmless an animal as mouse is
able to brighten an elephant almost
out of his senses. One little mouse in
the hay on which they are feeding
will stampede an entire herd. In their
native land there are little animals,
known as chacanas, which feed on a
small, sour berry of which elephants
are very fond. They live in settle
ments, something after the manner Of
prairie dogs, under the berry bushes.
When feeding the elephants trample
the little towns, and the chacanas, in
their fright, run up the tubes of the
elephants trunks. Their long, sharp
claws catch in the flesh and they can
not be elected. The more violently
the monster blows through it's coiled
trunk the more firmly the hooked
claws of the little animal become i'm
bedded in the flesh. Inflammation and
death are the result. In captivity the
elephants think they are in danger of
the deadly chacanas when they see a
mouse.

.
Standing on the sidewalk in front
of the company's place of business yes
terday the crate and its contents at
tracted much attention, and the rab-
bits were. surrounded all day by a
crowd, anxious to see the new pets for
the park. Their great size was at
once remarked, and every one who
viewed them said they were the larg-
est ever seen in this city. One of
the rabbits, big buck, is 80 inches in
length.
All the rabbits are peculiarly mark
ed, their mottled appearance making
them resemble a tortoise-shell cat as
much as anything, were it not for the
long ears. They are remarkably fat,
and their coats are as soft and smooth
as that Of the best-kept house pet.
They do not appear to have suffered
from their trip, and to-day, in all prob
ability, will be browsing in the queen
pleasure spot of st. Louis.
It is the intention of the Park Com
missioners to turn the rabbits loose
In the Park and let them take care Of
themselves. Care will be taken to see
that they do not multiply too rapidly,
and it is thought that the rabbits,
wandering about the knobs and hills,
will add to the picturesque beauty of
the plaee.-St. Louis Republic.

PLUGGING The PIANO.
Mi. GOzzIeby Finds Temporary Relief
from the Heavy Pedal by
Simple Means.

at is familiar fact" said Mr. Gozzleby,
%or it is a fact at least familiar to all fond
parents, that children, without exception,
like to play the piano with the hard pedal
on all the time All children Ike to make all
the noise they can, in playing the piano as in
everything else. Playing upon the piano
without the heavy pedal does not disturb me
at all; but the minute the heavy pedal is put
on l am greatly disturbed an1 the continued
resounding of the notes fairly racks me.
'tOf course / can't be forever saving don't,
and it's ungracious to say it al all, I suppose,
for why shouldn't the children have their
fun? And so I hit upon the desperate ex-
pedient of blocking the heavy pedal. / have
whitfield out nice little piece OF soft white
pine into plug that just fits into the space
under the pedal in the opening in which il
works, SO that the pedal cannot be de-
pressed.
cit has only been there two days now, but
it has been two days of blessed relief. 1t
can't last much longer, because the children
are liable to ask me any Minute what's the
matter-I wonder they haven't asked me
long ago-and of course I'll have to tell EN-,
but | am grateful for the rest ] have had, and
the respite has given me strength the better
TO withstand. for time at least, the uproar
that will surely come when the children dis
cover the plug"-N. Y. Sun.

FIGHTING THE SCALES.
to the Trees and Fruit Crops
of the United states.

Il Is estimated that the scales DO an
enormous damage TO the trees and crops
Of this country. and while the San Jose
scale seems TO attract some attention
il is not by any means the only injurious
insect Of this class. There are Proba-
bly, dozen very active and pernicious
scales found in the orchards of this
country. All of them DO more or less
damage, and the question of destroying
them is annually becoming a more i'm
portant one. The department Of agri-
culture has made special inquiries and
Investigations into the subject of
checking their ravages, and since the
German authorities made such dis
turbance about not admitting our APP
pies because of the scales on them the
subject viii assume even more prom
inenCe the coming season.
Some interesting experiments have
been made to destroy the scales, and
next summer we are likely TO reap some
benefit from them. Whale-oil soap has
been said to destroy them. but it must
be admitted now that this merely
checks the scales and does not destroy
them. Moreover. it takes nearly as
much whale-oil TO check the scales as
the crop of fruits is worth. In one or
chard in Maryland it took 5000 worth
of whale-oil soap TO hold the San Jose
scale in check.
The real remedy promised is found
in hydrocynic gas, gas that is so
searching and penetrating that when
applied 10 the trees hardly a scale es-
capes. 1t is death to every form Of life,
and rot expensive. The method of APP
plication is to place tents or coverings,
double oiled. over the trees, and then
liberate the gas under them. The re-
suits so far are very encouraging. for
nearly every scale was killed on the
trees so treated.-W. +. Farmer. in
Wisconsin Agriculturist.

SQUIRE JONES' ECONOMY.
He Raised His Own Tobacco and
First Chewed and Then
Smoked II.

The most economical person I ever
knew" remarked a West side barber as he
turned from a patient customer whom he
had been torturing with his wise remarks
for half an hour to strop his razor, was an
old lady who always declared that she hated
to see anything wasted, even the affections .
Did You know old Nancy Joness" cried
the hitherto speeches. customer, rising to q
full sitting posture. Must remember her
husband, old Squire Jones?"
Cant say that I d." replied the barber,
who, ike all his craft, was a wise man and
feared trap of some sort
He went the old woman one or two bet
ter, continued the customer; mot in words,
for he hadn't the gift of CAB like some in this
city. but in actions, being closer than twin
brother
what did he do that indicated greater
economy than the sentiment expressed by
his wife," asked the barber, who had recov-
cred his self-possession.
He was a fearful chewer and used to raise
his own tobacco. After he'd got what
strength he could out of his guilds he would
lay them on shelf and smoke them in cob
pipe of his own manufacture when they got
dry"
"He got it all, - said the barber.
He did, but not when he finished smok-
ing. Why, that old fellow used to snuff the
ashes. You needn't use any bay rum if it
costs five cents extra. Chicago Chronicle.
