There were four of us In a room with Philippe, who waa firing at my side. At the end of Ave minute two men of the Keventy-fourtli were wounded ; one had hlsaknll crushed and the other hi breast lialf torn open.

And be turned hi face toward mo a If to kiss ma J bent over him in a last embrace. At the sume moment the door, which we had fastened carefully, flow open Three or four shots were fired in but did not touch me, when a stentorian voice cried out: "Stopl" ; An officer advanced toward me and said In French: -' ' . . - ' "You are a prisoner, monsieur. Your sword!". - ' . 1 was dragged down below, where 1 found some privates and ofllccrs sur rounded by Germans. I was Indeed a prisoner. We marched towards Cologne." My heart did not give my conscience free pluy.. 1 loved my brother more than I loved myself, and I also loved toy coun try 'more than 1 1oyih1 iuyittU, Ttieyliad snatched me from both in th crlsl of their groauwt agony. Thoo only who have tout a twin brother know that our la no ordinary grief. It I tha other half of u that I doad. Philippe ami I had never len sepa rated until he entered Bniitt Cyr, 1 bad been rejected and my grief wa torrlbl to wluira. My mother, tha holy egotUt, wa pkard at It , You can gum why. My father, chief of battalion, had been killed at Bolferlno. My iter, Ave year our senior, had been married at Itt to a young phyiotan who had junt settled In the west My mother wa thus left alone, a from pecuniary reiuum she had Ikou obliged to consent to our being vdncMtvd at Pry tanee do I Fleche. lVrluw, but for tho o-itbnnk of the -ar with tkrmany 1 might hava raalincd her dream, which wa to have ono ol u study law and becorue a mag lt rate, to that we could live urar her. Hut the blood of a soldier coursed Utrough our veut, and a aeon as War wa declared I Tohmtered In Philippe' reglnumt Never were twin more entirely alike than wa, liter tu almnlutely nothing to dintinguinh u that I nothing but a difference In Intellect 1 learned far les easily than he, but of courn that eould not bo known by any outward sign, tu all other respect we were exact ly alike, Aa children our paretita only told u apart by the color of our cravat. At LaPteche the matriculation number on our clothe answered the same rmrw. It wasonly when I wa alona In th small room I hired from the little tailor at Cologne, that t had time to reflect on all the coue4uence of my amumliig tny brother's identity." I really became a forger by approb ating a rank to which I had uo right, and allowing a certUleate of death to be filtered in the book of the Ktat t'lvlle that wa incorrect I had received a letter from my lu-art broken mother asking for detail of my own death, of which she had been In formed. The pennant had found the lit tle book containing my otlleuil description lu the room altera we had beciT fighting, a well a a letter I had received from my sister, aud both had been sent to my brother-in-law, the physician, who th next day learned the sad itory of the re covered articles. They said that 1 had been carefully buried In the tittle grave yard of lKiMhauen, and that when the.1 war wa over toy relative eouiu come to pray at my grave, or have my remain reinterred near them. The crime that 1 had committed at the retiuost of my pour dead brother weighed on m heavily. 1 wa eager to return to France that 1 might give up that Hrtiun of tha regimental fund that had Skvii eontlded tome, and tocstablih uty iden tity. ' ' o:' , . - At but the day arrived, and one morn ing In tha month of April, 1871. i rang at tho door of the pretty house at LUieux occupied by my aunt, a manufacturer' widow, and my charming cousin Odette, with whom my mother had found home during the war. April wa exceptionally fine that year and the garden wa rich in lloral trvaa urea All at once two voice cried out In uni son. "Philippe, my Philippe." I wa ju-t in time to catch uty poor mamma and Odetie in my arm a they came near twoonlng away. They ckotped me feverishly, almost wildly, in their embrace, n if aoma one wa trying t-t snatch me from them. Then Odette started back, leaving me to my mother, who (trained me to tier arm, gaaed at nte, again embraced uie. and then suddenly cxehiiuiedi "See, Odette, how they have uswd him! lie's only a shadow, What a terrible living is war, and in what a condition It tend bark those whom it doe uol kill They alaughtorud my Maurice, and set what they hava done with Philippe, Oh! my fine stalwart boy a A hi tha asa imi! You are not going back again you understand, 1 wou't have you in an other butchery in Pari yonder I" "He calm, dear mother, my regimen1 I being reorganized at Havre and wc shall not have to march ngulnst tho Com mune." She turned to my coiwin. "Come, Odette, 1 am not jealous; lie Is yours too. A hi Philippe, love bur well If you only knew how she ha wept and prayed for you. At that moment 1 remembered some thing; PhilipiHS and Odette adored each other and had sworn that they would re main faithful. Must 1 also steal thin child's love? What should 1 do? Must I cry out, "I am deceiving you both, I am robbing you, dear mother, of your sacred grief, and you of your affection, dear young girl" So far as my mother was concerned It would only be a transfer of sorrow from one beloved object to another, but In the ease of Odette It would be a death blow I therefore continued to play tho part jf Philippe, Hi dear personality In which which I had rolied myself, burnt me like the shirt of Nvssua It seemed to me that 1 could see him starting from his grave at Eisnsshausen and crying: "Enough! Give me bock my uniform, my fiancee, my mother's sorrow. Give me back myself, robber!" All at once It Is only women who are. subject to this sudden change of idea, but those who were living at that period will understand It all at once my moth er exclaimed: "You are hungry, are you not? You have been hungry tho last nine months. My bands must have the pleasure of pre paring the first repast which you are to enjoy. Remain with Odette. You must have many thing to say to each other. "The young girl face became illum ined as with a spring aurora. Hlie took my arm and pressed It "Oh, my beloved! What a day is this! It seems to uie as if you Had arisen from the dcadl" 1 turned pale and gazed at her wildly, letting the arm that she was holding fall Inert "What Is the matter? Do you no longer love mo?" she stammered, also losing her color. "Yes, yes; but let us say no more about the dead; thoy cwinot come to lifenguln," "Truel Stay, 1 am sclilsh. 1 forgot the other ono your other self, he, of whom I was almost jealous, I loved you so. Do you remember what you sata to me there, under the arbor, when we bade each other good-by?" It seemed as if the earth was opening at my feet. "Ah, yesl ah, yes!" I stammered like culprit. - In this love duet I wa playing out of time and tune, and she no doubt folt it. "Tell me what it was," the went on suspiciously. "Excuse mo; i ve thought of so many things since. My poor head! My broth er " ' She pushed me away, gazing at me with a frightened expression. "Are you not Philippe? Btayl what a horriblo thought! You are not Philippe, If you had been you would have already taken me In your arms and covered me with kisses so I could not have spoken, : And white aa a ghost she shrank back, holding up her finger like an accusing angel, and said In a voice trembling with emQtJont "You are Maurice, and It's Phlllpi who l dead."

At the end of a mouth, thank to our tender care, Odette was herself again and 1 told her all.

Our little army may b deficient In many way, but In the matter of rttle hoot big to hit and with tha object of hlttitig to kill (tlte busine In which tha soldier I pretumed to ba particularly fliclent), It certainly taid tirt in the world. Another great advantage, aj though not a pleasant one, ha been con; tiuuou aud almost everlasting utll.tn on tha remote frontier. Surrounded with large and tmall game, what wonder that men, who buiuea It t to kill, always elsod every opportunity for huntiugr To be perfectly fair, our marksmen ara orar in advance of the beat riuropt-an soldier, that, so far a execution la con cerned, the latter would have no how whatever when pitted against our own regular. Kurojman armies, though armed with a longer range gun, yet lack practice and accuracy. ' They am trained to volley tl tooting iu toad of individual aim, and the result is that fully half of the men tire at random into tha air. Unci Saw' man ha to depend upon himself.

Allnortaof material are caught for soldier! the beer drinking Teuton, the bull dog FjtglUh itinn, the fun loving Irbhman, the Igno rant darky, and, lu fact, men of all na tionalities and all tiluto. They come to us aa bright a meteor and a verdant as cucumber; but no matter how gtven and unsophisticated tha recruit may be when he joins, he ha dovebped Into a line marksman when ho leave the army, and with decidedly mora sense than be was enlisted with. The bump of fun I exceedingly large in the average soldier of the line. Oen orally, a remarked, they are young men In the prime o manhood, of flue physique and perfect in every way (else they would not have been accepted by the re cruiting ofllcer), who look upon the term of enlistment a a sort of lark, and pro pose to get a much amusement and fun out of the five year a possible. Aston ishing as it may eem, yet It 1 neverthe less true that It is no easy matter to en list in tho United States army. Nineteen out of twenty applicants are rejected for cause, and the twentieth man must be up to the mark, or he I liable totravol the road of hi nineteen predecessors, After enlistment expire a majority of tha discharged soldiers, who orlglually came from some of the states back east, never return to their former homo.

A well known Cl.iengoan recently spent a Sunday in tho insane asylum at Kunkukoe, He went there to see one of the patients, and lie took dinner with him, occupying a scat at one of the table set apart ror "mild cases," During tho progress of tho meal a pa tient at another table arose, carefully deposited hi napkin at tho side of his pluto, and, walking over to the next table, caught another patient Willi a powerful upmircut under tha ear. "There!" ho cried, "that'll tench you bettor than toeat with your knife." In a moment more tho aggressor was eiasotl by alert attendants and hurried away to his own room. It was ex plained that this was his one hallucina tion, lie became wild whenever ho aaw a man eating with hi kuifo. On his way buck on tho train the Chicago visitor thought what an awful task this poor follow would have if ha were allowed to eat iu certain local restau rants and hotels, where at least half of the guests are known in the vernacu lar as "sword swallowors." Chicago Herald, . . - u Points About the lintr Mrtish, Theie is another consideration in con nection with the use of the hair brush, which, though it may scarcely need men tion, should not be overlooked. The brush should be kopt clean. It gives one a shudder to see the brushes and combs that are sometimes supplied at places of public resort. No one should ever think of using a public, hair brush any more than a public tooth brush, un less it becomes a matter of absolute no cossity; but the fact remains that the in dividual article requires to be properly cared for, else it becon.es an Instrument of danger rather than a delight, If the case is not very aggravated the bristloB may be washed in lukewarm water, to which a few drops of ammonia can be added. This will clear away the accumulated dust and dirt as by magic, The briBtles can be rinsed In pure water and allowed to dry in an airy place; the brush should not be exposed to the sun, nor should the back of it be wet at any time. Soda and soap soften the bristles, and if the back of the brush be of ivory It will turn yellow by their application, For general use it is better economy to buy a cheap brvmh, and, after using it for a reasonable time, throw it into the Are and start afresh.

What Itnys Talk About. , Hava you ever overheard the con weraation of a number of small boy who, tiring of "pool away" and "sting guat," have teuted tlteutsitlves upou a curbstone to cool olfi It is a study. They Invariably talk of tltnir reajtect ive fathers, and the evident desire of each is U plaeo his own particular pa ternal piirenl iiK)ii the higliesl pinna clo. "My futher knows tnora than youra," ay ono boy to another, "cause he' a iicwttiMtpcr man ha write for the paper." The other boy nil! conUunptuoualy and says: "Huh I he don't write any, he geta ad Vcrlwementa. That' what my jta say." Then the first boy get back witlit "Maybe lie doe, but he geut frtK) tickets to the theatre, just the sumo." Thi i usually a crusher, a boy do not usually see anything above free theatre tickets.' A third boy boast that his pa i on the board of trade and that ho has often accompan ied him there, while a fourth boy' pa ia in a railroad office and can ride without paying. So the youngster go on, while their fathers bustle for them, and the "old gent" would all feel proud if the? knew what enthusi astic curbstone champions they had. Chicago Herald. lnUuTuplvd Memory. From an article entitled "A Study of Consciousness," by Professor II, S. Wood, in The Century, we quote a follows: "During the centennial ex hibition a big, burly Scotchman was brought to the hospital unconscious from sunstroke. I plunged him into a mass of slush and water and piled great musses of ice about his head. A ho gradually struggled back to con sciousness, his first aeuaution was that he was packed away iu an ice box and doomed. When he catue more fully to himself hi drat inquiry was, 'Who am If I said, 'Who are youf This be could not answer. For four day that man lay in tho hospital, appar ently perfectly rational, wotideriug who he was. During all this time his frionds were searching, and had de tectives looking for him all through Philadelphia. At last hi recollection came back, and ho waa able to give hta name."
