Why spitz Omit.

Germany has been on the verge of a
cabinet crisis for several weeks. The
first warning of the trouble among the
highest officials of the empire was given
by the fall of General Won Spitz No
body has explained just why Spitz fell,
but in an article that attempts to do so
the Cologne Gazette suggests reasons
that probably will seem more than suf-
ficient to persons outside Germany. The
Gazette says that it was incumbent upon
him in his department. to attend TO the
Str afvollstreckungsangegelegenheiten
the Militaergefaengniss and the
whole Militaerjustizwesen Besides, his
office required that he take charge of all
the bills regarding the Militaerproces-

as TO the supreme acknowledgement

A BROKEN FRIENDSHIP.
It Was Terminated by n Bullet In .
Frontier Town.


1t was in the early days of town in
southwestern Kansas. The deadly ''45"
was the most respected law of the place,
and daily and nightly, in the half dozen
saloons which the embryo city supported,
were congregated as rough a set of men
as could be found in any town of the
size west of the Mississippi, spending
their time in gambling and carousing.
Monarch of all the rOughs was Ed
Prather. He had eight notches in the
handle of his trusty 40, signifying that
by his hand eight human beings had
been sent to their long home. Prather's
bosom friend was Billy Wells. He, too,
was "bad man. in the western accept
ance of the term. Damon and Pythias
were not more fraternal than these two
desperadoes. When one was seen, the
other was always near. If one got into
trouble, the other was always ON hand
to assist him.
The tragic end of this friendship came
one summer morning Prather had just
successfully "stood off, sheriff and
his posse, and the crowd of roughs was
congregated in his saloon, congratulate
ing him, drinking to his health and
celebrating the occasion by filling them
selves up with what is known in west
ern vernacular as 40 rod, - preparatory
to terrorizing the town. Suddenly
Prather drew his revolver from the scab-
bard, and saying, Boys, watch me put
a hole through Billy's hat, +" fired.
There was yell of agony, and Wells
fell to the floor wounded to the death.
my God, have killed him?' were
Prather's first words. Then, throwing
down his revolver, he sprang to the side
of the wounded man, just as the last
culver came over the PROSTATE form and
the soul went to render its account.
For the first time in years a solitary
tear coursed down over the hardened
features of the man whose hands We're
newly stained with the blood of fell
low creature, but, ashamed Of this mo-
mentary evidence of emotion, he hastily
brushed away the tear, and turning to
the bar called, Drinks for the crowd
And the carousal went on.
Thus was one more chapter added to
the history of frontier life. Detroit

AN INDIGNANT FISH.
One BurgaII Deprived OF Its Prey by the
Reckless Interference of Another.


Reckless Interference of Another.
While the burgall, known also as the
Gunner, is not altogether bottom feed
ing fish, still it feeds mostly ON the bot
tom, taking whatever it can find there,
nipping the head off a clam when it
gets chance, and not neglecting the
worms of many kinds which find a
home there.
There were two burgalls in a tank at
the aquarium. One day a nereis showed
its head above the sand and gravel on
the bottom of the tank alongside little
pebble. The nereis is "a marine worm
that lives at the bottom. This particu-
lar nereis might have been three inches
in length by an eighth of an inch in di-
ameter. One of the burgalls saw it as
soon as it lifted it's head above the bot
tom, and he began TO make for it at
once, but not precipitately. In fact, he
did not seem TO notice the nereis at all.
He Just loafed about in the water, and
it just happened apparently that his
general movement carried him in that
direction.
The nereis was probably looking for
food. Gradually it raised its head until
it was half an inch above the sand. The
burgall, which had started foot or
more away, was then within six inches
of it. Then the other burgall saw the
nereis, and this burgall made "a rush for
it. There was nothing for the first one
to do now but to make a rush for it too.
The two burgalls met head on with
their noses right over the pebble along
side which the nereis had raised its
head, but the nereis had disappeared.
The force of the collision threw the
first burgan off his balance For a mo-
ment he lay in the water at an angle of
40 degrees, but he righted himself
quickly and instantly started for bur-
gall No. 2, and chased him round and
round the tank and finally up into a
corner, where he held him for a minute,
and then he swan solemnly away, in
dignant no doubt that the reckless in
reference of the other had cost him the
prey he had so carefully planned to

Not Clipped.

A naturalist says that the squirrel
tribe is increasing all over the wooded
districts of England and in the Scottish
lowlands. In some parts of Scotland,
notably in the north, the little creature
is unknown.
1t is not so long ago that Scotch
judge was trying 4 case which had to
do with the escape of a squirrel from
its cage and the question as to whether
IL had been stolen.
Were its wings clipped?" he asked a
witness.
But, my lord,' interposed the coun-
sci, ''it is quadruped."
"Quadruped or no quadruped," said
his honor sternly, eff it's wings had
been clipped it could never have es-
caped.'

Extravagant Fairyland.
There was q sort of intoxication in
the very atmosphere of Paris, a fever or
enjoyment-a passion for constant
amusement, for constant excitement,
and among women for extravaganza III
dress. This was encouraged by the
court, with the intention of giving nn
impetus TO trade and of gaining popu-
larity by favoring constant festivities,
and consequently constant expense. In
the days of Louis Philippe there had
been great moderation in all matters or
luxury; the king and queen We're aged,

princesses We're kept within rigid bounds

Everything that she wore suited her

Use OF a Long Rreath.

When chilled by exposure to cold,
take a long breath, with the mouth
firmly shut. Repeat this several times
until you begin to feel the heat return
ing. 1t requires only a very short time
to do this The long breath Quickens
the pulse, and this causes the blood to
circulate faster. The blood flows into
all parts of the veins and arteries and
gives out a great deal of heat. 1t is
stated that long, deep breath, held as
long as possible, will close the pores of
a heated skin, and the danger of taking
cold, on stepping outdoors, may be thus
guarded against.
