GERMAN ARMY OFFICERS.
The Affect Difference shown Them
by Civilians Is Amazing.

The respect and Difference shown to
off duty by his countrymen are Won
derful to see, according to a London
writer "Civilians, even compatriots
of distinction, on entering the dining
room bow to him with formal humility.
He acknowledges the obeisances only
with a rigid glare of naughty indiffer-
ence, though he is politely conscious of
the coming and going of ladies'. The
German civilian does not appear to be
surprised at or to resent being con-
temptuously ignored by him, but rec
ognizes him and looks up to him as q
superior member of a superior race
and continues to make his obeisances,
however loftily they are ignored.
"But, while the officer is unable to
see the civilian at whom he is looking
point blank. he never misses observ-
ing the entrance and acknowledging
the salute of another of his own race.
He rises from his seat and stands stiff
and erect while the newcomer ad-
vanccs and exchanges formal bows
and greetings, and as he RECEIVERS the
erect position from the bow he brings
his heels together with sharp parade
click and waits until his superior has
taken seat before he resumes his
own
There were tremendous ceremonies
in eating and drinking, too, especially
in drinking. Each table group lifted
their glasses invariably together, as If
at the word of command, taking their
time apparently from the senior pres
ent. Having seized their glasses to-
gcther and raised them together and
simultaneously drunk, they would
simultaneously finish and then, hold
ing their glasses before them, would
with great ceremony bow to one
another before replacing them on
the table 1t did not matter whether
they were drinking beer or claret or
the German champagne, which seems
to be the especially smart thing to
take, there was the same ceremony.
When a senior officer went out of the
room. all the Juniors present rose to
stiff attention and bowed as he passed.
When junior rose, he made the round
of the table on his way to the door and
bowed separately. with Il spur jingling
heel click every time to every other
officer"

mother remedies" said physician the

tient, but our forefathers used to get
a power of comfort from them never

progressed wonderfully, Of course, and
we are much better off on the whole
Low than We're our sires, but we forget

l notice that you are troubled with
dandruff, and I'll wager that you have
spent many dollars on different alleged
cures, and you are worse off now than
when you commenced. Let me give
you grandmother prescription that
never fails. Go to a drug store and
buy 8 cents worth of salts of tartar.
Dissolve half of it in warm water and
wash the head thoroughly. Repeat
this at intervals of three months for n
year, and you won't be annoyed with
dandruff any more"

A PAN AND A LEOPARD.
An Astonished Woman and still
More Astonished Animal.

Kula is a district in the Himalayas
consisting of chain of the most lovely
valleys conceivable, with this draw
back, among others, that each hill path
that runs by the inhabitaAts' huts more
often than not contains a lurking Loop
ard. One day a worthy Kula house
wife came out from her cooking and,
standing on the edge of rock, emptied
a pan of boiling water into the rank
heritage growing below. 1t fell splash
on the back of sleeping leopard, who
jumped perpendicularly into the air us
high as the roof of the hut.
What might have happened next who
can say? But the astonished woman
dropped the pan with a clang on the
rock, and the leopard took one leap
down hill. The pan followed, and the
leopard's downward leaps became lon
ger and swifter as the pan bounded aft
er it from rock to rock. When last
seen, that leopard had just achieved a
leap of about $50 feet to the very bot
tom of the ravine, thousands of feet
below, and the pan whrled about 500
feet over it on to the opposite side.
The leopard would have eaten the old
woman with pleasure, but pan, the
contents of which first scalded half the
ing in his wake, from the top of the
Himalayas to the plains below was
something he could not face.

While this remedy has effected thou

sick, and has restored to healthy life
innumerable men and women whose
nervous systems have been shattered,
and who were suffering from the symp-
toms of the beginning of a deep-rOoted
impairment of the nervous sys TENT
is worth noting that even in those ex-
hausting contests where absolutely per-
feet nerves are prominently needed,
this remedy has also been found equally
as beneficial in repairing the exhaustion
due to the high training.
If such men, who require above every
thing else-abOve muscles (Which can
not develop without good nerves. above

ever had-who require above everything

remedies, the discovery of one of
Americas abest professors, accomplishes
all that is claimed for it.
Every man or woman whose nervous
system is not in perfect condition Will

No other remedy in the world was ever

clans and all those who have manly and
womanly development in hand to be so
perfectly adapted to cases of failing
health and tagging vitality.

A trick learned in school days of
writing down what is to be memOrized
is available here to establish in the
mind the different points to be covered:
The purpose or use of the room, the

that harmonizes best with the floor

of adjacent rooms, the price to be paid

down over the curve to a point where
wooden molding can be run in an
even line entirely around the room.
The uneven ceiling in low rooted
houses or cottages sometimes renders
this line of molding impracticable. A
way to meet this difficulty is both
novel and pretty. Cover the ceiling
and side walls with one paper, using
no border, no frieZe, ceiling tint or pic

ering the nails from which any pic

be medium light. A paper used in
this way was printed in soft pinks and

A popular notion that plain papers
perform the best service as back

the value of these possessions, and

quiet designed papers that are in the
market-papers that assimilate the
best belongings in harmonious
whole without throwing out any one
part in particular. Butthe plain papers

undeniable strongholds, that no pat

CHARLESTON LOST"
An Episode of the Telegraph After
the Great Earthquake.

the Great Earthquake.
How powerfully the Imagination may
be stimulated by a story told in dots
and dashes is illustrated by an episode
of the Charleston earthquake, relates
l.. G. Hall. At the moment of the final
shock every wire connecting Charles
ton with the outside world was in
stantly "lost." And as no other It'd
ings could be had from the doomed
city it was as If in an instant it had
been swept from the face of the earth.
And for many hours Charleston re-
manned literally dead to the world.
The next morning before the average
citizen had time to collect his wits the
telegraph people had started out gangs
of linemen to get the wires in working
order. Operators in the principal Of
fees within a radius of several hun
dred miles were set to calling &c. N"
For long time there was no response,
but at last on the wire which had in
charge a slight answering signal was
felt rather than heard-faint and flick
ering, like the first sign of returning
life. From that moment my watch
was, if possible, more diligent. For IN
hour or more | called, adjusted" and
used every effort to revive the feeble
pulse. l could fancy myself working
desperately to resuscitate a half drown
ed man. Again l felt the Pickering
signal, and then once more all signs Of
life faded away. Finally as the wires
were gradually cleared of debris the
current began to strengthen, and then
came the answering "i-i! G ~" weak
and unsteady, but still sufficiently
plain to be made out.
To me it sounded like q voice from
the tomb, and l shouted alond the It'd
ings that Charleston was still in eX-
istence. Quickly the sounder was sur
rounded by throng of excited teleg-
raphers. The Morse was broken and
unsteady at first, then the current
grew stronger-the patient was grow
ing better-and for a long time we
listened to the labored clicking, until
at last the worst was known. And at
the. end of the recital a great sigh
went out from the hearts of all of us,
as if literally in our presence long
buried city had been exhumed.-Mc-

the rest in the same manner, being
careful to get the fold of the back d.
rectly even with the point Of the yoke.
There are no gathers at the top Of the
back where it joins the yoke.
If the waist is to be lined, the lining
previously finished is now to be basted
to the outside all around, neck and
sides; also the bottom, as the lining
should have been tried on to be sure
that it fits. In the center of the back
at the waist line four small folds are
laid in the outside and drawn down
closely to be sure that the waist will
not draw. If the sleeves are to be
lined. the lining is cut all in one with
the outside and sewed up in with them.
The cuffs are the same in all the
waists where bishop sleeves are worn,
and that will be very nearly all the
shirt waists, of whatever material.
The cuffs are cut all in one piece, in
such way that the wrist part is
straight, while there is cuff made in
one with it, cut in points, as can be
seen in the diagram. The wrist is to
be measured and half an inch allowed
for seams. The cuff part is one inch
shorter and double notched. The cuffs
should be interlined with stiff linen,
no matter what kind of material is
used for the waist. When they are
basted and sewed around. they are to
be turned and stitched along the edge.
These cuffs are the distinguishing part
of the new waist. They button at the
wrist.
The collar has a curved band to fit
closely, and two half collars are made
with notched points, and set at the top
Of the undercollar to fall over Many

CANCER

Sufferers from this horrible malady
nearly always inherit it-not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs

the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap.
pearance -or a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part of the body,
gives the first warning.
