An Incident That Happened In the
Franco-Prussian War.


1t is a peculiar circumstance that
hardened aad trained troops will go
through long fight surrounded by all
the horrors that are inseparable from
war without fiinching and with the ut
most apparent callOusness. and the
same men will be struck terrified by
single trif1ing Incident.
Every war OF any Importance. partic-
ularly wars between civilized nations.
is prolific in incidents of trivial charac-
ter in themselves, but so unusual and
unnatural that they appeal to the nat
ural instructive horror of men more
suddenly and intensely than perhaps
the main terrors of days of carnage
and surrounding scenes OF suffering
Such an incident is the one. for exam
pie, which occurred at the battle of
Worth in the early days of the Franco
Prussian war.
In the heat of the great battle wing
of the Prussian army was charged by
the regiments Of French cuirassiers In
the hope of turning the wing and facil-
itating the falling back of the French
infantry. But the cuirassiers were
driven back by the unflinching Prus-
SLAMS. Again the cuirassiers charged,
and again they were driven back by
the withering fire of shot and shell.
For a third time they came down
again. and as the enemy waited for
them to draw nearer a horrible, blood
freezing terror seized the Prussians,
| and for a moment 1t looked as IL they
would turn and fly or be cut down
without defending themselves. But in
a moment they had pulled themselves
| together and beaten back for the third
and last time the gallant cuirassiers.
The sight that terrified the Prussians
appears nothing very much in black
and white 1t was a-regiment of cuiras-
siers led at dashing rate toward them
by headless officer sitting upright In
his saddle and apparently encouraging
his men after having been decapitated
by a cannon ball.-Cincinnati Enquir-

An UnexpIainabIe Fact.

THE old superstition" said a leading
physician. that when death lays his
hand on us our bodily health is made
perfect has now been substantiated by
the most advanced medical science.
People dying of paralysis and bodily
ailments which have kept them con-
fined to their couches for years and
palsied their limbs so that movement
was impossible regain all their physic-
al strength just as they cross the bor-
derland. No; we can't explain why.

REWARDED BY KISSES.

Miss Daniels' Successful Plan of Lur-
ing Truants to Her School.
While the practice of giving kisses to
scholars as rewards of merit for obe-
dience to school rules may not become
popular feature of the American pub
lie school system. the plan has worked
like charm In the case Of pretty Miss
Millie Daniels, district school teacher
In Nemaha county, Kan. This plan,
according to Topeka dispatch to the
New York Sun, is original with Miss
Daniels and was tried only after all
other expedients for the Turing Of tru-
ants to the schoolroom had failed.
That the plan has been q success ts at
tested by the fact that the enrolment
OF the school has increased over 80 per
cent in the time Miss Daniels has
taught there.
Miss Daniels, who Is described as un-
usually pretty, came to Kansas two
years ago fresh from the high schools
Of Illinois. She found her school in
Nehama county In a very bad condi-
tion. The boys were hopelessly addict
ed to the hockey" habit and when In
school were unruly. All devices known
to the teachers art were tried to secure
good behavior and attendance, but
without avail Finally the teacher an
nounced her scheme, aud 1t was sane
TONED by the school board. The oscu-
latory event is pulled or every Friday.
The pupil who has been well behaved
and attended every session Of the week
Is allowed to kiss the teacher, while
the pupil who has been absent or tardy
but once Is kissed by the teacher. The
school board Is satisfied with the work
ings OF the plan and has reelected
Miss Daniels for another two years
term.

loads on their backs will, as a full day 5
