MILITARY DISCIPLINE.
a Little Passage between n German
Colonel ma a Lleutcnnnt.


The noted soldier and historian Theo-
dore Ayrault Dodge was educated In
Berlin. and at a dinner party, apropos
OF Germany military discipline, he
once said:
"The German soldier must never ap-
pear in public except in uniform. Even
when he is on furlough he must not
under any circumstances wear civilian
dEess.
= 'Well. Swartz, a young lieutenant OF
cavalry, during my residence in Berlin
was one day engaged in some adven-
ture or other and put on, to disguise
himself, a suit of black cloth. Dressed
in this suit, he was passing down an
unfrequented street when he came face
to face with his colonel.
Detected In so grave misdeme1nor,
Swartz proved himself the possessor
of a resourceful mind. He said to the
colonel in a bass voice different from
his own:
"'Can you tell me, sir, where Lieu
tenant Swartz lives? am his brother
from the country and l have come on
to pay him a visit
"The colonel readily and politely gave
the required information and passed
on.
THE lieutenant congratulated him.

and put on his uniform. Duty late
that afternoon called him before the
colonel again. He saluted with con
fidence. The colonel regarded him odd
ly.
Lieutenant swartz.' he said, I
wish you'd tell your brother from the
country that II he pays you another
visit I'll put him In close confinement
for ten days." nr f rs

RENoUNcED THE VIOLIN.
Wellington Never Touched II After
He Became a Field Omccv.

Wellington Never Touched II After
He Became a Field Omcev.
The Duke OF Wellington played the
violin as a subaltern. but gave It up
when he became a field officer. The
reason for this renunciation Is sup
piled by the following extract from a
letter written by Mrs Stuart Macken-
zie to the Duke OF Sutherland in 1852:
Every one knows that TO the last the
duke was fond and a fine judge Of mu-
sic. In youth be was a performer on
the violin, that, giving up a great deal
OF time 70 II, be began to fear lest tho
hereditary taste should get the better
OF him. and in one day he broke the
spell, laid aside his violin and never
afterwnrd touched A. This circum-
stance occurred during the time OF his
early attachment TO my dear friend the
duchess. who has often repeabad It to
me with pride as an omen OF what was
to be expected from his great self com
mand and frfnness OF decision"
1t may be added that the Duke OF
Wellington inherited his love Of music
from his father. Lord Mornington, who
was a doctor OF music and a composer
OF no small merit.

Kidney Disease Is Sapping the Vigor

the Only Certain Kidney
Cure.

The Kidneys are by all odds the most inn
portant organs of the human body.
They virtually control all the other organs.
Should they stop working for even few
hours the blood would become so thick and
clogged with uric acid and other deadly
waste matter that the most powerful heart
would break down in the effort to force it
through the veins.
The strongest lungs would collapse trying
10 purify such poisonous blood.
Without pure, rich, red blood there can
be no health-no life
It's true some Of us live for months with
sick kidneys, but it is just waiting for them
TO get a little worse-they never cure them
selves.
Death is constantly hanging over us. Il
comes instantly to thousands; with warn
ings 10 many.
Backache, headache rheumatism, sleep
lessness, Indigestion, ETC., are certain signs Of
affected kidneys,
Health, though, we can never know while

THE FIRST RAILWAYS.

When sixteen Miles an Hour Made
the Passengers DiEHy, f4
In 1880, when the railway was open
ed between Liverpool and Manchester.
the Liverpool terminus was at Wap-
ping. Lime street tunnel was not COM
pleted until about six years later.
At first the service consisted of three
trains each way on week days and two
on Sundays, but this was soon found
to be insufficient After Lime street
station was opened there were six first
class trains and six second class trains
each way on week days and two OF
each description on Sundays. The jour
ney Of thirty-one miles occupied near
~ two hours. which led to complaints
that the speed was too great to be
pleasant and caused dizziness. On the
other hand, sanguine expectations were
INDUCED in that in course OF time the
average rate of travelling would be at
least double the ordinary speed Of the
swiftest conveyances drawn by horses.
II was anticipated that the general
adoption of railways would lead to "a
vast decrease in the consumption OF
oats and hay by the substitution OF
steam engines in lieu Of horses, and
that portion Of the soil which has hith-
erto been allotted to the growth OF
such produce may be appropriated to
the raising of food suitabIe to the hu'
man species''-an important considera
ton in the time of the corn laws. Il
could not have BEEN foreseen that th'
railway system, so far from suppressed
ing horses. would lead to an immensi
increase in the demand for them.-Liv
