Human Heaters.

In considering the problem of heat
ing the large department stores which
are now to be found in nearly every
big city it is very well worth taking
into account the animal heat distributed
by the snany customers who come into

siderable is evidenced by the experience
of at least one engineer. who, in one
such case. found that after o 80 a. III.

GERMAN MILITARY SERVICE.
A Curious Method by which Ii May
BE Avoided.


Anybody can emigrate from Germany
before he is II years old without Iun-
ming the risk. in case he should return,
of being forced to join the army. but he
will be allowed to remain only nine
months in Germany. If he stays longer
he becomes again German citizen and
must do military service. If he leaves
when he has been little less than nine
months in the country and stays away
for two or three weeks he can return
without running any danger and can
stay another nine months. If he does
this every nine months he can live as
long as he likes in Germany.
As soon as a man Is II years old he
cannot leave Germany without serving
in the army. He can, however. get per-
mission to leave the country until he is
90 years old if somebody is willing to
give bond that he will return and serve
his term.
In case a man forfeits his bond he
cannot return to his fatherland before
he is 45 years old. as he would be
promptly arrested and sentenced to
serve longer term than the original
one. After a man is 40 years old he can
go back to Germany without being pun
ished and live there as long as he likes.
In case a deserter is caught in Ger

SHE SANG FOR DEATH.
-he Pathos and Tragedy of Emma
Abbott's Passing Away.


Abbott's Passing Away.
One night in the city of Denver.
located at the foot and in plain view of
the Rocky mountains. Emma Abbott
was billed to appear in Faust. In the
same city a most attractive and beauti-
full 1S-year-old girl. belonging to one of
the wealthiest families. lay in the last
stages Of that fell enemy of the human
race-consumption. Some weeks before
the arrival of the company she said TO
those around her: "Oh, / hope the sun
will shine and the weather will be warm
and genial. so l can hear Miss Abbott
sing once more. 1 think could then
pass away peacefully and without one
single regret. But there came with the
queen of the lyric stage a northern hur-
ricane-with the very air charged with
icicles. which penetrated the lungs
Some one told Miss Abbott of the griev
ous disappointment of the dying girl
She went to the opera house and never
sang more sweetly. and as soon as it
was over and the audience dismissed
called her carriage and directed it to
drive to the home of the young lady.
The scene which followed was worthy
of the finest brush ever welded by the
grand old masters. There lay the dying
earth angel, with pallid lips, hectic
cheeks and lustrous eyes and the light
of immortal beauty shining upon her
face. Standing beside her. in one of her
richest robes (the one she had worn that
night. sparkling with pearls. rubies
and diamonds, stood the almost divine
mistress of earthly melody.
The first piece rendered was Tho
Old Folks at Home, and then followed
II Know My Redeemer Liveth. The
finale of this weird scene was Rock of
Ages Cleft For Me, Let Me Hide Myself
In Thee. And then Miss Abbott bent
over the frail form and kissed her an
eternal farewell. Soon after the spirit
passed into the wild winds which rang
through the wild mountains near by
set sail for that haven from which the
first homeward bound bark is yet to
be seen-the stainless soul waited to
the stainless heavens by the sweetest
music ever heard ON earth-into the
melodies of paradise birds.
Miss Abbott returned to her room at
the hotel and retired. Some time dur
ing the night she awoke with pain in
the left lung. 1t rapidly grew worse. A
physician was summoned. Then anoth
er, and another, who applied every
remedy they could command. All to no
purpose. 1t was typhoid pneumonia in
its worst form. The black camel was
kneeling at her door. Angels of the
heavenly choir had that night listened
to her voice in the sicllroom and gent
for her to come home to them.
In three days that voice which had so
often raised the souls of men and wom-
en- to the noblest. the grandest heights
in holy ecstasy, was forever stilled in
death-gone forth into-the night.
So faces the summer cloud away,
So sinks the gale when storms are Ger
So gently shuts the eye of day,
So dies the wave along the shore.
