A STRIKING MEMORIAL.
Notable Bit Of Architecture Recently
Completed in Germany.

One Of the most striking monu-
mental memories ever reared on
German soil, was recently unveiled
at Eisenach, Thuringia, by the
Burchenschaft, the German student
organization founded in 1915 by uni
ycrsity men who participated IN the
Napoleon war of that year. In the
form of a limestone tower, rising
from tcrraced base to height OF
l2O feet and Surrounded by semi
circular peristyle of massive pillars,
the classical memorial with its ornate
dome constitutes an enduring token
of German unity The tower proper
is a temple inclosed within the nine
huge pillars topped by an architraye
Inscribed in giant letters with the
words "Freheit, Ehre und Water
land'-"Liberty, Honor and Father
land" Upon the main cornice of the
dome are ranged the heads of six
German heroes-llerman, the Liber-
ator. Karl the Great, Luther, Al
brecht Durer, Goethe, and Bee
thoven. The dome is a cupola 20 feet
high, surrounded by nine eagles in
the attitude of guarding as many
doors. surrounding the whole Is a
crown. Within the temple stands
monuments of Emperor William l.,
Grand Duke Karl August, Bismarck,

IMPROVING ON NATURE.
Horticulturists Would Grow Universal
Fruit Trees.

For years the scientific gardener
has been gathering apples from pear
trees and picking cherries and dam
son, of the same branches, and,
though the quest Of the black tulip
has so far been in vain, the blue rose,
We are told, has at last arrived at
Kew gardens. Years ago, SAYS the
st. James Gazette, horticulurists
were interested in the announcement
that a nurseryman at Essy, in Sla-
yonica. had secured a wild rose from
Seryia which wa, said TO give blooms
of a deep violet blue, and that, after
two years of cultivation, the rose re-
tanned its color But there is still
an uncertainty whether the blue tint
was natural or produced by chemical
means, in the same way as another
horticulturist is known to have pro-
duced black rose. Most people will
be content, no doubt, with the
red rose that sweetly blooms in
June" and nobody will very much
deplore the failure of the efforts to
produce roses Of black. or blue, or
green or any other unnatural color
More pardonable, perhaps, is the
hobby of the man who would grow a
universal fruit tree. Even this, of
course, is contrary to all the laws Of
nature, and ought by natural law to
be abolished But there is a farmer
in Herefordshire who insists, it is
said, on gathering-not grapes from
thistles, but pears and plums and APP
Piles from cherry trees. Many years
ago the enterprising farmer grated
these alien fruits on to his cherry
trees, and by careful cultivation the
four branches have been brought to
full fruition. Many of the visitors to
Naples have seen "A famous tree there
on which oranges and lemons grow
side bv side.

INDIAN AND BUFFALO.
How the Latter Turned Hunter and Chased
the Red Man.

A retired officer of the northwest
mounted police, who took part in a
Missouri buffalo run 10 years ago,
describes the impression at the time
as of an earthquake. The galloping
horses, the rocking mass of fleeing
bufIalocs, the rumbling and quaking
of the ground under the thunder
Gus pounding were all like a yio-
lent earthquake. The same gentle
man tells for Outing how he once
saw wounded buffalo turn on an
Indian hunter. The mans horse
took fright.
Instead of darting sideways to
give him a chance to send a last fin
ishing shot home, the horse became
wildly unmanageable and fled. The
buffalo pursued. Off they rushed,
rider and buffalo, the Indian cram
ing over his horses neck, the horse
blown and tagged and unable to gain
one pace ahead of the buffalo, the
great angry beast covered with foam,
with eyes like fire, pounding and
pounding-closer-and closer - TO
the horse till rider and buffalo dis
appeared over the horizon. ITO this
day have wondered what become Of
that Indian, said the officer, "for the
horse was losing and the buffalo
gaining when they went behind the
bluff" The incident illustrates a
trait seldom found in wild animals
a persistent vindictiveness.

FINE SENSE OF TOUCH.
Remarkable Case of Distinguishing Be
tween Diamonds and Turquois

In Helen Keller the sense of
touch has probably been developed
as highly as it has ever been in a hui
man being, In the early part of this
year a woman stated that she and
Miss Keller were two of a party that
were shown over an art store in New
York, and one of the largest in the
city. In the statuary department
she was able to say whose was every
statue she examined; this is dear
old Beethoven" etc.
The principal of the establish
ment, an elderly gentleman, who
showed them round, was moved TO
tears. He took two rings out of Il
case and gave them to her, telling her
she could keep which she liked, She
examined them very carefully, feel
ing every stone and then said:
"Wcll, as | like diamonds and tur-
quoise better than pearls, | will keep
this"
The writer asked if she was told
what the rings consisted Of, or found
it out herself. She said she found it
out herself; nobody told her.-Cur-

A TALE OF DISAPPOINTMENT.
The Rather Mean Joke That Was
PLAYED on q Bridegroom.

Here is a darksome tale of disap-
pointment which has leaked out
since the June wedding period, re-
lates the New York Post. In
western town there was young man
who had postponed his matrimonial
venture until nearly all of his friends
and associates had embarked upon
the sea of domesticity. As they set
sail one by one the young man inva-
riably pulled his cheeks to roughen
the waters at the start. lie was the
one who devised humiliations and ex-
posture for departing brides and
grooms. He tied ribbons on trunks,
hitched old shoes to cabs and car
riages, sent kilograms to be shouted
out in crowded railway cars, notified
hotel employees, and paid them for
violating their oaths of office. Final
" he himself came down with the
matrimonial fever, and the invita-
tions were issued. OF course the vic
tins Of former days congregated i'm
mediately. They planned and knit
ted their brows. 1t was difficult, for
all the smart things had been perpe-
trated by ''our hero as the penny
dreadful says.
One dav, however, one of the for
mer victims called his associates to-
gether. "Ive got it," he said.
"Barkton is lying awake nights plan
ming to get away from his pursuers,
and they say the bride is scared stiff
by his awful accounts of what he has
done to Others, and what he expects
others to do to him. He has ex-
planned that it is all because he is so
immensely popular, and of course she
is looking for innumerable marks of
esteem of that nature. Now, my idea
is this. Let 'em alone. Don't do
thing to 'em. Not an old shoe or pa
per heart or grain of rice. Not
telegram, nor white horse, nor a
streamer of white ribbon"
OF course, the idea was adopted.
After the ceremony at the church the
wedding party returned by train for
the reception. There was no sign at
the station that it was a wedding
party. Barkton whispered to his
wife: They've been lying low; so
look out for something when we get
off the train" The relatives got off
on the side toward the station, while
the bride and groom walked through
the smoker and alighted on the other
side. But they heard no sound OF
merriment, and as they sneaked quiz
city around to the back end of the
depot they couldn't see a soul they
knew. When they departed on their
journey it was just the same. The
bridesmaid and best man came out
with a flourish and got into the car
riage at the front, while Barkton and
the bride stole out the back way and
tiptoed around through ash-piles and
garbage boxes to their carriages.
But nothing happened! When the
bridegroom returned and resumed
his wonted position in the COM
munity, he sought out the former
victims. "Pve always done my duty
by YOU" he said, land I'd like to
know what's the reason you didn't
think enough of me to play one joke
and give us a merry send-off."
One of his former victims replied:
"Barkton," he said, 1--WE did play an
almighty good joke on you, but
guess YOU failed to see the point"

MEETS A GAMBLERS FATE.
Tickle Fortune Smiles and Frowns Up
on a New York Bootblack.

Race horses have separated Mayor
Lows bootblack from $4,000 in
cash since the season opened, and the
''luckiest" bootshine in New York is
back at his trade again in front of the
city hall.
Herman -, no one knows his
last name-fell under the rays of
lucky star over year ago, says the
Philadelphia Press.
He is just emerging from the dark
clouds of despair now, and is prob
ably the only man in America who re-
grets that his wife did not cultivate
the habit of going through his
trousers pockets at night.
Everybody about New York's city
hall knows him as "blue-eyed Her
man
lie is a fayorite of Mayor Low and
has been the chosen bootblack of
many city administrations.
In common with all good boot
blacks, he had a passion for playing
craps.
After years of laborious work he
accumulated a cash balance of SAC.
In lucky moment he won $500 in
a gambling house by stalking his $40
on a card.
The next day Herman went to the
race track, and within week he had
added $4,000 to his possessions.
Everything good came Herman's
way during the season, and late last
fall he had over $40, 900 slowed away
in old shoes, under the carpets and in
the refrigerator at his home.
Herman had no faith in banks and
says he only slept about half the
time, wondering whether or not
burglars would get after his money.
His biggest days winnings was on
Morokanta, one of his favorlte
horses. He won over $4,000 on
that racer on November s.
Herman did not 90 back to boot
backing with all his ready cash, and
neither did he tell his wife that he
was making a fortune at the race
track.
He stayed around the poolrooms
nearly all winter and lost some of his
wealth. In fact, he lost about Sl6,-
900 worth Of it. But he opened the
spring season with $4,000 to the
good.
On April 16 he met his Waterloo
by playing Animosity to win at to l.
Lucky Star, winning horse, won
by half nose, and poor Herman was
loser by just $4,000.
"After that" he said, mournfully,
everything | touched went wrong.
Il dropped $1,000 the next day,
and | could not get square. dropped
money on everything | played.
Il went to the track on May Is
with only $1,000 out of my $4,000
pile.
Il made up my mind to win some
of the money back or lose it all, and |
did the latter.
Il got back from the track five
DAYS later, and | was not worth a
cent.
Joe Chesterfield, who was my
partner in the bootblacking business
for nearly 20 years, staked me to
some brushes and polish, and l got
my chair from another good fellow.
Its pretty hard, but it's the game.
Some day I'll go after them again
