Waiting for the Crop.
It was the day after Thanksgiving

1t was the day after IhanksglVlng
day.
A crowd Of girls swayed and pressed
about an open door. The sidewalk was
filled with them, and every momen: the
crowd grew larger. From time to time
they 'irew themselves up and tried to
peer through the shop windows. Occa-
sionally they pushed each other little.
and several times slight shrek Of pro-
test arose from the crowded mass.
A man from out of town halted on
the opposite side of the street and
stared acIoss at the girls.
Sir he inquired of passer-by,
may ] ask what that mob meanso'
"You may" replied the passer-by.
Eyes ssid the stranger.
"Yes. That mob, as you designate
yonder collection of charming end
beautiful girls, is waiting outside the
barber shop while the football captain
gets his hair cut! He has promised

THE SIGN OF THE SOLDIER.
An Experts Deductions from the Hat
Ornaments Now Worn
by Girls.


There's girl who knows soldier
said the obscrvant person. by way OF
individual comment on the passing
throng. "And that girl just behind
her doesn't know a soldier. but proba-
bly, would like TO. How do know it?
Perfectly pain, and SO absurdly simple
that you should have seen il al once.
''The first girl wore a cavairyman's
hat ornament. device of crossed sabers,
with regimental number and troop let
ter in the upper and lower angles re-
spcctively. The logical deduction is
that she was sufficiently well acquaint-
ed with soldier to accept his device.
The second girl wore hat ornament.
device OF crossed sabers, with the same
combination of number and letter. But
the device in itself showed that she did
not know soldier of any sort. much
less cavalryman. That being SO, there
is strong antecedent probability that
any girl who does not know soldier
in these times when peace is getting
eady to pipe is willing to know one.
There you have the proof of that which
seemed to puzzle you.''
''Of course, l know that must seem
very dense, but do not see how hat
ornament can prove one thing when
worn by one girl and just the opposite
when another girl wears it," said the
listener.
"Put as you have expressed it it could
not. But as a matter of fact the two
girls were not wearing the same thing.
The hat ornament of the first girl was
that which is prescribed by military
regulations for all cavalry in the serv-
ice of the United States or of the
several states. The supply Of girls Is
limited only by natural law; the sup
ply of soldiers is regulated by act OF
congress and the casualties of thecam-
naign. Naturally, there were not
enough hat ornaments to go around.
Some enterprising jobber as under
taken to supply the deficiency by manu-
featuring stock Of ornaments ex-
pressly for the girls who do not know
a soldier, but wish they did. The two
ornaments are easily to be distin-
guished. That which follows army reg
ulations and is the real one has the hits
CT the sabers downward The manu-
factured article, whether by accident
or design, has the hilts upward. That
little detail suffices to give tie whole
combination away.
'But that is not quite SO bad as
cheap war chrome, which seems to be d
the latest and most popular article OF
such very cheap art. 1t represents the
homecoming of volunteer. As this
family leaps up to welcome him the re-
turned hero is pictured as having just
dashed his campaign hat upon the floor
right where he will put his foot through
il if he takes another step. The front
of the hat is toward the front of the
picture, and one naturally looks to see
what arm of the service has engaged
his patriotism. tits somewhat puzzling

The New Gases Discovered In the
Air Have n Fixed Law
Of Value.

Day by day chemical research discov-
ers scme new element to add to the al
ready long list of so-called primary"
elements, many of these being resolved
again into other primary" elements
by some more recent investigator
Among these the recently discovered
constituents of the atmosphere are by
no means the least interesting to stu
dents of gases and their. intimate rela-
ton to each other. In the nature of a
scientific romance is the account of the
long and patient researches which led
to the detection of gases which have
been discovered since argon and helium,
With which the public are already ia
lhiliar, namely, neon, llrypton and xe-
MON. In examining the theory of "oc-
taves," as applied 10 the density of the
gases, which was propounded by Mr..
John Newlands, and confirmed by
Profs. Meyer and Mendeleef under the
law now known as the periodic ar
langement of the elements" it was OBJ
served that, while the atomic weights
of many gases stood in a definite nu-
merical relation to each other, there
was great gap between helium and
al gon, and suspicion was aroused that
the gap represented the place of some
undiscovered gas. The search for this
unknown element was a most laborious
task.
Every mineral that yielded helium
was examined without success: arpon
was next examined, and here at last.
in combination with argon, new gas.
neon, ''the new one,' as it came to be
named. was discovered. with an atomic
weight that fitted precisely into the
vacant place. There were several other
blanks in the periodic arrangement
that were waiting to be filled up. There
was room, for example. for an element
40 times as heavy as hydrogen to COM
plete the atomic symmetry between
bromine and rubidium. Another had
to be discovered between iodine and
caesium, and it would probably be a
liquid. The discovery of krypton and
of Nenion, signifying stranger, were
Lot less interesting.
The spectra of these new gases are
very beautiful, the colors being radical
ly different. argon yielding particular

ROYALTY IN THE SADDLE.
From the Number of Falls It Would
Seem That Kings Are Poor
HOrsemem.

The recent falls from horseback of
Emperor William of Germany and of
the duke of Connaught serve to call
attention to the fact that whatever
equestrianism there is among the
reigning families of Europe seems to
be restricted to the ladies. All the
sons of Queen Victoria ride ungraceful-
ly, and are indebted to Hessian of the
name Of Meyer, of Darmstadt, for their
German seat in the saddle.
King Humbert has been thrown off
his horse more often than any other
royal parsonage in Christendom. The
late czar was bad rider, and it was
some uncomplimentary comment in re-
lation to his riding made by Emperor
William, and carefully repeated at the
court of st. Petersburg, which was the
origin of no end of bitterness between
the two monarchs. The obesity of the
king of Portugal renders him awkward
on horseback. The king Of Sweden and
his sons are all Indifferent horsemen,
as is also the present czar, while King
George of Greece and his father, King
Christian of Denmark, prefer walking
to every other kind of exercise.
Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria is un-
able to remain in the saddle for more
than half an hour at time. The duke
of Orleans, as well as Prince Victor
Bonaparte, have recently damaged
their pretensions to the French throne
by their ridiculous falls from horse
back, and King Alexander Of Servia is
so frightfully short-sighted that it is
impossible for him to ride any save the
most carefully trained horses.
In fact, the only male royal riders in
Europe who have really fine seats in
the saddle, and who are fine riders in
every sense of the word, are the old
emperor of Austria and King Leopold
of Belgium, the latter owing his clever
ness as horseman to the fact that he
was taught by Englishmen.-N. Y. Her

THE GERMAN-CZECH FEUD.


Of this struggle, which has gone on
for 80 years amid riots and violent ra-
cial collisions. the language question,
of which SO much has been heard dur
ing the last 1s months. is an important
part. When Count Badeni in the spring
of 1897 placed German and Czech on
equality as the official languages Of
Bohemia the Germans saw in the de-
cree the beginning of Slav supremacy.
They raised the racial issue at once and
refused to allow any measure to pass
the Vienna reichsrath till the hated
ordinances were repealed. The dis
missal OF Badeni did little TO pacify
them so long as his decree remained
-uncanceled. To carry their point they
even blocked the ausgleich and brought
on constitutional deadlock between
the two halves of the monarchy. At
the time of writing the language ordi-
uances have not been withdrawn and
the augsleich has not been renewed; |;
but it is not, perhaps, very venturesome
10 prophesy that eventually the Ger
mans will have their way and the conn
pact that binds Austria to Hungary be
preserved. Possibly the tragic death Of
the empress may have some effect in
moderating the passions and nntip-
athies Of all parties and so pave the way
to compromise on the German-C Czech
feud.-Sydney Brooks, in Chautauquan.

Island Of Electricity.

It is weIl-known fact that the cables
which unite Europe with America are
connected on the little island Of Saint
Pierre-M -Miquelon. The quantity OF elec-
tricity circulating for this reason
through the narrow strip Of earth
which composes the island hasresulted
in overcharging the soil with electric
ity, and this suPerabundance Of elec-
trical fluid has given rise to very
strange experiment. By throwing an
isolated wire three kilometers in length
across the island, and then attaching II
to the metal plate which is cast into the
sea, il has been possible to intercept
in it's transit message on its way from
America to Europe, and vice versa, the
o7eroharged electrical soil having
turned the message out Of it, original
path.-N. Z. HAraid.

Kansas Governor Asked to Pay a
Dog Tax by an ImDecunious
Old Mnid.

An old maid in Kansas City, Kan,
with an unusual amount of faith in
men, has written to Gov. Stanley ask
ing him to pay her dog tax. She eX-
plains that she is poor and that her dog
is the only comfort she has in the
world. She asks the governor to go
over to the state auditors. Office and
look over the list Of dog tax due, If
he finds there the name of "Grant,"
with two dollars due for taxes, he will
know that the dog is hers and can pay
the money.
The governor turned the letter over
to Private Secretary Allen with instruc-
tions to assess the members of the
state committee for the necessary
amount to pay the tax. Chairman Al
baugh heard the letter read and agreed
to pay the tax If the governor would tell
him the name of the oman. This
Gov. Stanley refused to do. 1t is prob
able that Grant will be assessed and
taxed in the regular manner by the
Kansas City (Kan.) authorities.
