Not Tall Enongh.

Just at the time when vague reports were beginning to creep abroad that Germany was meditatin fresh exten- sion of her frontier at the expense of Holland Dutch official of high rank happened to be visiting the court of Berlin, and among other spectacles got ap to amuse him review was organized at Potsdam.
 "What does your excellency think of our soldiers9" asked Prince Bismarck as one of the regiments came marching past in admirable order.
 'sThey look as if they knew how to fight D replied the visitor gravely, but they are not quite tall enough. ''
 The prince looked rather surprised, but made no answer, and several other regiments filed past in succession, but the Dutchman's verdict upon each was still the same, Mot tall enough. ,
 At length the grenadiers of the guard made their appearance--a magnificent body of veterans, big and stalwart enough to have satisfied even the giant loving father of Frederick the Great, but the memorable critic merely said, "Fine soldiers, but not tall enough. /"
 Then Prince Bismarck rejoined :; "These grenadiers are the finest men in our whole army. May I ask what your excellenoy IS pleased to mean by saying that they are not tall enough?"
 The Dutchman looked him full in the face and replied, with significant em- phasis, 'tI mean that we can flood our country l2 feet deep "-London Tit Bits.

ENGLAND WANTED WAR.
Eeld Back From Fighting France In sVS
 by the German Emperor.

Eeld Back From Fighting France In fSS~
 by the German Emperor.
 The Gaulois, in Paris, recently re- lated ill considerable detail that during the Siamese imbroglio of 1893 England was on the verge of declaring war against France. The power that opposed the war most vigorously was Germany. In fact, said the Gaulois, the war was prevented by the German emperor.
 "At that time" said the Gaulois, Emperor William was at Cowes with his yacht. He had won regatta prize from Lord Dunraven Valkyrie and the Prince of Wales Britannia. He appear ed, literally as well as fguratiyely, to swim in English waters It was as ha sat at dinner in the house Of the Royas Yacht squadron that he received from Count Hatzfeldt the news that the Eng fish government intended to declare war against France. The emperor rose from the table, laid aside his napkin and sent dispatch empowering bis ambassador in London to protest against Lord Rose bery's programme. Moreover, he be took himself at once to Osborne House to announce to his grandmother that he never could approve such course as TO- gards Siam. J
 Sometimes Paris newspapers publish articles on European politics that lack all foundation in fact, and the amazing story told by the Gaulois might have been dismissed as one of them had it not been confirmed at once by the Koel- nisehe Zeitung, probably the most trust worthy journal on the European conti nent. The Koelnische Zeitung's Paris correspondent was at Cowes with the emperor in 1893 As soon as the Gau. lois had made it's statement he corrobo- rated it. Among the influential English, men at Cowes, he said, it was then common talk that the German emperor was England's ally against Siam and France Lord Dufferin, then English ambassador in Paris, had come to Cowes to conclude the negotiations for an alli- ance, but had been met with the emper- or's blunt refusal to take the active part that England wished to assign him. The Koelnische Zeitungs correspondent as- serts that the correctness of this state ment is absolute and beyond question among the initiated who were at Cowes during the German emperor's sojourn there.

- - The Old Time Stagecoach.

In 1762 there were, strange as it seems only six stagecoaches running in all England, and of course these were the only public vehicles for travellers. Even these were a novelty, and per son named John Crosset thought they were such dangerous innovation that he wrote a pamphlet against them. These coaches, " he wrote, make gen tlemen come to London upon every small occasion, which otherwise they would not do except upon urgent neces- sity. Nay, the conveniency of the pass age makes their wives come often up, who rather than come such long jour neys on horseback would stay at home. Then when they come to town they must be in the wade, get fine clothes, go to plays and treats, and by these means get such habit of idleness and love of pleasure that they are uneasy after.'' Even people who come to the city on steam cars are sometimes sim ilarly affected by the visit, even unto this day Exchange.

The Women of Guiana.

The wife of the cooly in Guiana is q woman who is very much to be envied. Every gold or silver piece her husband ysceives for his services is beaten into personal trinkets to be worn by his bet ter half. In this condition it constitutes the cash wealth of the family. It is per fectly safe, as it is as much as any mans life is worth to touch the trinkets so long ns the woman wears them. These same women are also noted for their beauty. Their features are straight and perfect. their eyes Beautiful in color and thei, forms perfect models of symmetry and grace. Dressed in soft, filmy materials. rich in color and eastern figures. they present strangely oriental and fantassit appearances.

Last Night of Southern Soldier on th
 Battlefield.
 Don't leave me, captain Oh, don leave mo ''were the words that came t me with an agonized shriek from bleed. ing and dying Confederate soldier oI the evening of the great battle of MalI vern Hill, July 1, 1862. He, ner youth of IT years, lay in heap, gasp ing for the breath which was fast leav ing him, along with the rays of sun light, on that sad and memorable day| 1, for whom that piteous cry was meant was staff officer of the brigade td which the Louisiana regiment, the sol dier boys regiment, was attached.
 Well mounted, was galloping bacI across that bloody field to report th@ duty I had performed when suddenly arrested in my course by the voice ol despair and woe, coming from my. stricken comrade. The day was fasl passing away into darkness, darknesi that seemed to enshroud this valley ot death. The terrific cannonading on both sides that had lasted for hours from the surrounding hills (Malvern hill bein8| the central point of attack by the Con- federates) was supplemented by the| booming of artillery and bursting oH shells from the gunboats on the adja-I cent James river.
 Nature seemed to revolt at this scene| of blood and carnage. Thunder and1 lightning and an avalanche of rain camel in quick succession with such great force as to cause the stoutest heart to| quake. This great battle was the sew enth days fight to capture the oity of Richmond. 1t was not an ordinary bat fle, but demons fight and the final encounter between those two giants of war Robert E. Lee and George B. Mo- Clellan. It gave the laurels of victory to the southern chieftain, bedewed with the tears of broken hearts
 Without stopping to consider what I alone could do for the dying youth amid the chaos and increasing darkness of the night that prevailed, turned back and dismounted to keep lonely vigil with the dead. My horse, which, strange to say, had seemed frenzied with fear, became quiet and traotable as though he knew there was safety with his master. called the boy, who had swooned away from loss of blood, and was glad to know he was not dead. Giving him the bridle of my horse to hold, tore the sash from around my waist to bandage his torn and bleeding limb
 The boy was praying and called down God blessing on me- His petition to heaven seemed to be heard. The storm of wind and rain, although still high, was abating Naught but the mournfui vail of the wind through the surround ing forest could now be heard. The great armies that had so lately confront ed each other in battle array had seem- ingly vanished from the scene. was alone on battlefield with the dead. Wet and dripping. with the chill of night upon me, waited for morning, and he, too, the brave soldier boy, was waiting for morning. Oh, God, will it ever come?
 He clasped my hand with hope and confidence and seemed to be happy and without pain. believed he had gone to sleep. Morning came, and he was still asleep-asleep to wake no more. --Daw- son A. Blanchard in Washington Post

 WOMEN NEED Nor BE DISCOURAGED The nervous tension under which most of our women constantly live affects the fe- male organism seriously. Heavy house. hold burdens, social gayeties, work in some commercial establishment, any of these duties seem impossible to women who are i'll, and yet they keep up for a time under pressure of the demands upon them. When they do break down, the advice and treatment they receive from their family physician don't go to the root of the trouble, and they get no bet ter. They are discouraged, worn out, tired of life. The great specialist in women's diseases, Dr. Greene, of Nervura fame, B West 14th St., New York City, has shown thousands of women who thought themselves hopeles invalids the way to health. His office is open to all women for free consultation and advice, or if you will write him about your case, he will advise you by mail absolutely free of all cost and confidentially. The glori- ous remedies discovered by this profound physician are an invaluable boon to wom en. It costs nothing to be put on the road to health, and all ailing women should write Dr. Greene at once.

 The field of the cloth of gold For when the haze of summer days Has melted from the skies And we, without lenroof, may gaze Up into heavens eyes, A host their plumes and banners shake In joust with breezes bold, And goldenrod's bright champions make The field of the cloth of gold. The butterflies with blazoned wings Are heralds for the fight, And many lovely lady filings Her token to her knight. And so amid their gorgeous suite, With pomp and wealth untold, Summer and autumn royalty meet On the field of the cloth of gold.

Light and Artiflcia. Fog.

The production of cloud by the actin of ultra violet light was demonstrated at soiree at the Royal society by C. T
 R. Wilson. The beam from an arc lamb was focused by quartz lens in tubb containing moist air free from dust. lR a few minutes blue fog was seen to form in the illuminated cone, and this fog could be made to move by applying heat to the tube locally. When the ul- tra violet rays were cut off by sheet ot mica, no such formation took place, and it is therefore suggested that the small particles which give rise to the blue ot the sky are produced by the ultra violet rays of sunlight absorbed in the upper layers of the atmosphere. .-EnPineerine.
