Wehner replied:
Germany has already engaged TO
participate az st. Louis, and we must
help in making the exposition a worthy
one. Taking part in expositions and
congresses and managing the prepare .
ton Of exhibits are thankless tasks for
ministeries, especially when they come

must see that German exhibits are

The rear end Of the Denver express
was standing on the bridge over Gar

bride and accommodation train took
tire and burned, the loss of the bridge
temporarily blOckading traffic
The rear car Of the Denver express
was the Denver sleeper. It is said
that most Of those killed and seriously
injured were in this car.
DR.. Edward y. Clements was taken
by his friend, John w. Moore, of this
city, to the Terminal hotel. DR.. Glenn

The express train was running be-
hind time because OF the blizzard wea-
Their. It is stated that because of so
much extra steam being used it was
found necessary to stop at the Gar
deene tank for water.
The snow was falling and the wind,
whirling it in sheets around the train,
cut 0ff the signal lights from the view
OF the engineer on the local train,
which plowed its way through the
storm in the rear.
The seven injured who were not
brought to St. Louis were not serious
" hurt, and were cared for elsewhere.
a corrs of men and several physicians
remained ut the wreck all night
searching the debris for possible dead

A Dutch Fishing village.

Almost every fishing village in Hol.
land has its special dress and its own
quaint customs. One can see from old
Dutch pictures that these have not va
ried for the last 200 years. One most
interesting place is the island of Mar
ken, a tongue Of land on the margin of
the Zuyder Zee, which can well be in
spected In couple of hours 1t is SO
little above the sea level that the clus-
ters of houses or tiny villages are
built on mounds connected By bridges,
and nearly every little house has its
own little moat and its own little boat

diminutive scale In Holland-moored
near the door 80 as to be handy in
case Of flood. The houses, with the ex-
ception Of the church and the clergy
mans house, are built Of wood on high
piles. They are none Of them very old.

and burned. In winter Narken is often
under water, and the Inhabitants. use
boats to pass from one village to an
other. The cottages, which are painted
blue, green or black, with pointed ga
bles, and rooted with red tiles, are all
exactly alike and possess only a
ground floor built on high piles.

Joseph's Well.

At Dothan. in upper Palestine, is a
pool which has refreshed the traveller
for centuries. 1t is the well of Joseph.
Its environs form a dreary enough
prospect Above it is low, insignifi-
cant hill upon whose summit cluster
few miserable mud huts, and at the
base is the sordid anachronism of
putting steam mill. while away from 1t
stretches in all directions the faint
toned, almost hueless expanse of the
Syrian landscape, long reaches Of pal
est blue and gray and yellow, with only
an occasional bletch Of brilliant color
in the foreground. Dreary and waste

of the flesh, but to the eyes of the spir-

said traveller, Il saw sight In one
Of the villages which brought the old
proverb, Necessity is the mother Of
invention forcibly to my mind. In
the front Of one of the houses on a
veranda stood sentry whose business
it was to keep the time for the village
by means of primitive sandglass.
Two bottles were firmly tied together,
mouth to mouth, and fixed in a wooden
frame, made to stand In reversible po-
sitions.
"a quantity of black sand ran from
one bottle into the other in just half an
hour, and when the upper bottle was
empty the frame was reversed. Twelve
short sticks marked with notches from
! to IL were hung upon string, and a
hook was placed between the stick
bearing the number Of notches corre-
spending to the hour last struck and
the one TO be struck next. The sentry
announced the time by striking the
hours on a large gong"

The Habit of Scandal.

Old Mrs. Etheridge had loved gossip
all her life, but, although her ears were
always ready for it, she schooled her
tongue to disapproval.
Nobody minded what she said, for, al
though she might shake her head and
utter her customary mild reproof, her
eyes never failed to express interest
and desire for more information.
The one phrase which rose to her lips
when the tale was ended had become
so habitual that toward the close Of
her life she occasionally employed it
involuntarily.
"Have you heard about Edward?"
asked one of the family connection,
moving her chair close to the old lady's
rocker and leaning over cOnfidentially.
Grandmother Etheridge shook her
head and put her hand to her ear.
''TLey say announced the relative
in strident tones, that he's making a
splendid name for himself. and has
been offered salary of $4,000 by an
other firm and that he is just as clever
as he can be, has hosts of friends theTe
in Chicago and deserves them ail!'
The light Of pride and JOY shone in
the old lady's eyes, but custom was too
strong for her tongue.
''You shouldn't repeat it, DEAR" she
quavered. There's wrong story
somewhere"

CnnfeIs In War.

The camel is a good soldier. It may
be stupidity. and it may be bravery, but
a camel is as steady uuder fire as tow
er. The Persians mounted small can
non OH the backs Of their camels and
called them zambwahs, or little wasps.
This fashion was adopted In India, and
after the battle of Sobraon 1000 of the
artillery camels We're captured. In the
Indian mutiny the British had q camel
corps Of $50 beasts, and on the back Of
each camel sat Scotch highlander in
his kilt.
In 1878 the British used camels
against the Afghans, and the govern
ment paid for $4,000 camels that died
In those campaigns. Many OF these
were driven to death by their owners
In order that they might claim the
government bounty. There was also a
camel corps which did good service In
the Sudan war against the mahdt.

The Tragic Ending of the Life OF.
the Talented Traitor.
The last twenty years Of the life Of
Benedict Arnold were. probably the,
most unhappy that ever fell to the.
lot Of man. The British were willing
to use him to, promote their own plans
and to pay him for his disgracefut
services, but everywhere be was held
in such scorn and contempt that for,
years he scarcely ventured to appear.
in public. Before his treachery he,
stipulated for fortune in cash and a
commission as major general in the
British army.
He got both and soon spent the
former in speculation, while the lat.
ter did him no good, as no officer in
the army would serve under him, and,
although his talents and bravery were,
unquestioned. he remained to the END
Of bis days q general without COM.
mand, even at time when the British
government was sorely pressed for,
officers and men. In 1893, during the
French war, when the country was,
anxiously gathering all its resources.
he applied to the Duke of York for Il
command, but was refused.
He went home in despair and said
to his wife, ''They will not let me find
soldiers DEATH" He. never rallied
after this blow, and soon after his,
mind appeared to wander. He ordered
his Continental uniform to be brought
and put it on, including the sword hse
had worn when in the American serv-.
ice, and so he died a raving maniac:
in 1901 at his residence in London.

THE READING CURE.
Books ~ q Medicine In Cases OF
Mental Distress.

Books as q Medicine In Cases of
Mental Distress.
One could wish that the doctor of
medicine occasionally called in the
doctor Of letters in cases Of mental
distress. There is a tonic quality in
books, properly chosen, which is as
beneficent to the mind as change of
scene or doses Of fiat water. People
do not realize that the shortest way
from the quagmire Of the modern un-
rest is total forgetfulness of self, and
few know that the healthiest nepenthe
is to be found in reading. The word
disease signifies the negation of ease,
and most forms Of neurotic sickness
are a deliberate effort on the part of
the invalid to make himself uneasy.
If doctors were to prescribe a course
Of Cervantes or Moliere or Balzac CT
Sterne or Dickens or even Shakespeare
and as strictly enjoin thoroughness in
this course as they would il the treat
ment We're a matter of diet or medi-
cine. many of their patients would be-
gin to mend from the first moment that
these magicians had given them a for
getfulness Of self. 1t is true that Poe
declares in the Raven" "vainly l had
sought to borrow from my books sur
cease of sorrow" but the opinion Of
the world is Overwhelmingly against
him. Good reading is a forgetfulness
of cares, and, by the same token. it is
an education in all those qualities
which make life sweet and greatly to
be desired. 1t is the valetudinarian
who most constantly tells one. petu-
lantly enough, that he never reads
books.-London Globe

1t Came From = Gun That . sentry
Forgot Was Cooked.
During the Mexican war. in 1916,
Captain Kenly received orders from
General Quitman to march with a
guard to ford in the Santander river
and prevent its passage by the Mexi-
cans. He reached the place, posted bis
men with strict injunctions against be-
traying their presence and took his
position on the bank where he could
overlook tie ford.
Suddenly there came the report Of
Captain Kenly ran to the place, hav
ing seen no enemy, and found the SEN
try. a Georgian, coolly reloading his
mnsket
'How dare you fire your gun?' ex-
claimed the angry captain. 'The whole
division will be aroused"
Even as he spoke the long roll of the
drums came floating down the wind.
The sentry saw plainly enough the
trouble he had got into, but he am
swered:
We'll, captain, you see l was so
tired and sleepy that to keep myself
awake ! kept pointing my gun at a
duck I saw on the river. and thought
how would like to whisper to 1t, and,
hang it, forgot the gun was cooked
and away she went"
The man escaped with sharp repri-
mand from General Quitman. who sent
him word that If he ever whispered"
again without orders it would be all
over with him.

Liquor ana the Term "proof..

What proof" means as applied to-
the quality or the measurement of the
strength Of whisky Is not understood
by many people. As explained by a
man who knows the correct use OF the
term it is simple enough. The stand
ard Of the United States revenue is q
liquor half Of which, by volume, is
alcohol. This is 100 proof. If whisky,
then, is described as 80 proof it means
that it contains 100 measures Of water.
and 90 measures of alcohol. Whisky
of 100 proof contains equal measures
OF each. Whisky of 120 proof contains
100 measures of water ana 120 meas
ures Of alcohol.-Philadelph Record.
