GERMAN MILITARY SERVICE
A Curious Method by Which 1t May
Be Avoided.

Anybody can emigrate from Germany
before he is II years old without 1un-
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 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
20 years old if somebody is willing to
give bond that he will return and serve
his term.
In case man forfeits his bond he
cannot return to his fatherland before
he is 40 years old. as he would be
promptly arrested and sentenced to
serve a 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 deserter is caught in Ger
many before he is 40 years old he is SEN
fenced to two OF three years imprison-
ment in a fortress and all his personal
property is confiscated = New York

Filipino Junta Issues Another virulent
Anti-American Decree.
Hone KONG, Feb. 2S.-The Filipino
government has issued another virulent
anti-American decree in which the fol-
lowing passages occur: ~ e~r
~. 1.-The American guns respect neither
honor nor property, but barbarously
massacre women and children.
Manila has witnessed the most hor.
rible outrages, confscating the property
and savings of the people at the point
of the bayonet and shooting the de-
fenseless, accompanied by odious acts OF
abomination, repugnant barbarism and
racial hatred worse than the doings in
Carolina, Unless you conjure a holy
war for independence you are only
worthy to be slaves and Pariahs. Pro.
claim before the civilized world that
you will fight to the death against
American treachery and brute force.
Even the women should, if necessary.
American professions and promises
are pure hypocrisy. They covet the
spells of this patrimony of our race,

THE SENTRY DRANK.
But General Meade Did Not Happen
to See Him Do 1t.

At little village on the Susquehan-
ma river met an old soldier who re-
lated this incident of his experience
with General Meade in the civil war.
I have forgotten his name and the place
where it occurred. It was a raw night
in October, the wind was rather strong,
and Meade had fixed a stove in his tent.
The soldier was the sentry for the gen.
eral. A puff of wind knocked down the
improvised stovepipe, and soon the tent
filed with smoke. The general came
out and asked the sentry to help him to
rearrange it. The soldier replied that
he was under orders and could not leave
his post.
Eyes, yes said Meade, ''that is
true. but I would like to have that
stovepipe fixed. You are right And
the general went at the job himself
81 kept pacing my beat, - said the
soldier, land enjoyed Meade's efforts
to get the pipe back in its place. He
made a sorry mess of it. Finally he
turned to me and said: Sentry, you
will have to help me- will be respon-
sible fer you, and if there is any trou-
bic about your leaving the beat will
explain to the officer.
SIN few minutes we had the pipe
in position. Meade disappeared into the
tent without word of thanks, but he
soon came out with jug of applejack
and asked me to take drink. Once
more I reminded him was ON duty.
Yes, yes, he answered. Il know, but
you helped me to fix the stovepipe.
''Ee turned on his heel and re-enter-
ed the tent, leaving the jug outside.
After a time he came out
Ibid you drinkf' he inquired. 1
nodded.
81 knew you would, but did not
see it. "-Pittsburg Dispatch.

A DEADLY CANE.

An Innocent Looking Instrument

writer in The Ludgate. 1--WE will sup

been chosen as victim. The exact pat

be noted as occasion arose and fac
smile of it>prepared-tha is to say, so
far as mere outward appearances were
concerned.
1.-The interior would really be an in
fernal machine Inside the hollow of
the stick would be a metal flask con-
tanning liquid which could emerge
only from small orifice at the top Of
the flask. The flask would be imbedded
within substance which would ex-
plode the instant that the liquid re-
ferred to came into contact with it.

the stick to be substituted for its inno-
cent counterpart. the handle would be

SHE SANG FOR DEATH.
The PathOs and Tragedy Of Emma
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 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 can hear Miss Abbott
sing once more. | think l could then
pass away peacefully and without one
single regret. But there came with the
queen of the lyric stage 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
nd dc or hn o1y
mistress of earthly melody.
The first piece rendered was ''The
Old Folks at Home p" and then followed
81 Know My Redeemer Liveth % The
finale Of this weird scene was Crock Of
Ages Cleft For Me. Let Ne 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 a 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 sickroom and sent
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 fades 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.

Steeple Clock DiaIs.

Difficulty is experienced in accurate
ly reading the time of elevated clocks
on account of the distance between the
minute hand and the figures. Seen from
below. the apparent reading may be a
minute or two wrong when the hand is
not at ~ or on account of this dis
tance. The perspective throws the hand
out of position and gives it an apparent
upward position. On the first quarter
this makes the reading slow, on the
last quarter fast. A proposed method Of
correcting this is to make the clock
face concave SO that the tip of the hand
will almost Craze the figures. Then the
time can be accurately read from below.
