Maryon was a manly looking young
man, under thirty, and in some country
towns, as in Aylesmere, young men are
scarce. Perhaps before they We're aware
OF IL, both girls had fallen In love with
him, though he had not given either
any reason to believe IN a reclprocated
interest.
True. he had often thought, as he
looked at their father, the old colonefs
blanched face and helpless limbs, that
though fate had dealt hardly with a
gallant soldier, many a man as brave
and worthy had ended his days alone.
And Colonel Haddon had the tenderest
OF nurses, two soft voiced loving girls,
who lived to care for and comfort him.
During the first dark days, Or. Maryon
learned to value them both. When the
colonel began 10 improve, the girls re-
covered some of their usual spirits, and
the young doctor became aware of at
fractions that hitherto he a not even
suspected. His visits to the Hermitage
were frequent enough TO cause remark,
but no one knew which of the ~colonel's
daughters had become possessed of a
lover. In truth, Maryon was 10 wiser
or this point than his neighbors.
But the young doctor found he could
not live on n paying patient. He de-
cided TO try his luck in South Africa,
and a suitable opportunity presently
came his way. He sold his practice, ar
ranged his affairs. and, with the brief
est OF farewells 10 his few friends in
A~ylesmere. left for the front.
Both girls were startled at this sud
den decision. J~osephine's pride suffered
severely. Barbara just wondered why
the world seemed so dark when the
news had been told.
Maiyon spent his last evening in
England at the Hermitage, a sad even

German Miiitarism.

London Chronicle: An unusually
scandalous case of military justice fills
public attention here. Some days ago
at Dessau, two private soldiers, named
Guenther and Voigt, were convicted OF
INSTRUMENTATION to a sergeant named
Heine, and sentenced to FIVE years
penal servitude and expulsion from the
army.
Heine met the soldiers in a dancing
saloon. He vas drunk and insulted
some girl friends of Guenther. He was
asked to apologize. Instead of apollo
giving, he unsheathed his sword and
wildly struck out on all sides. Voigt
and Guenther disarmed him, and in the
struggle he fell, and while on the floor
he Injured another girl. These are the
facts. At the trial counsel engaged for
the prisoners pleaded that his clients
acted only in self defense. He was
sharply reminded by the prosecution
that no such defense could be consid-
cred; that IL was the duty or the Two
soldiers TO allow themselves to be kill
ed by Heine rather than raise a hand
against him. That Heine was %sentenc-
ed to three months Imprisonment only
puts the crown on the entire scandal
Gus procedure. Feeling here runs high
it this traversty Of justice.

candor in the Wrong Place.

New York Tribune: Controller Groul
was talking about CANTOR.
"Candor is all right in its place" he
said, but out Of place it is unspeak-,
ably dreadful.
This fact was impressed on me the
other evening at a dinner.
"A little girl, the daughter OF the
hostess, at the end of this dinner was
brought in for dessert, and placed be-
side a maiden lady of about SO.
The maiden lady was a little senti-
mental. She talked in a sentimental
vein 10 the child, and finally. leaning
forward, she said:
How pretty your eye are, dear
"Fank YOU said the little girl.
THE lady laughed. Then she said:

eyes?
The little girl answered promptly,
In a clear voice, audible half a mile:

Hans acquittal last week meets gen

where he is known and admired for ms

grew out of his attempt TO arrest David

Luse apparently resisted. for Hans left
him dead with two bullets in his body.
Luse was suspected OF being n man

was killed in his own house.

To Study Processes Which Take Place
During Hardening.

Notwithstanding all that has been
lone by, scientific institutions TO test
the hardening and durability OF n.y.
draulic cements under ranging condi-
tons of moisture and exposure to heat
and frost, there is still a margin OF UNI
certainty in respect to certain OF THESE
properties, concerning which authors
ties and recorded experience seem to
disagree. So says United Consul Cen
eral Mason, at Berlin, in a report 10
the state department.
What is. after all. he asks, the COM
blnation which really takes place be-
tween the silicic acid, alumina and
oxide of iron when mixed with lime,
and in what manner and degree do
these several substances contribute TO
the hardening of hydraulic cement un-
der certain prescribed conditions?
Conceding that certain known results
are produced by the mingling OF these
elements. what chemical or mechani-
cal action takes place, and TO- shall
such action be exactly and scfentifical-
ly stated and described?
Most builders and engineers who
make large nse of hydraulic cement
in various constructions feel h want
OF more thorough and exact theoretical
knowledge on this subject, and to meet
that demand the German government
has adopted a plan for collecting what
is known OF the whole complicated
! subject by the foremost experts OF
Germany and other countries. In pur-
suancc OF this plan the Prussian min
lister Of public works has ISSUED a call
fer a prize competition of scientific es-
saws on The chemical processes which
take place during the hardening OF n.y.
draulic cements. Prizes to the amount
of $3,570 are offered, and IL is proposed
that the contributions shall be consid-
| cred by the jury of award without
knowledge of the identity Of the au-
thor. Papers for competition will be
| received by the Prussian minister Of
public works until December 3, 1906.
The best work OF the foremost scien-
fists throughout the world Is cordially
Invited.
The whole scheme" says Consul
General Mason. is an apt illustration
of the Intelligent. economical n ra-
| tional way in which the government
OF Germany aids in. bringing TO the
assistance Of various industries the at

that American scientists will not fail

value to this competition. Nc nation
