H8"rttt U:. Absolutely Pure
The Telephone In War.
An interesting experiment of install
ing a telephone by trotting cavalry was
recently successfully undertaken by.
some Prussian uhlans between Berlin
and Potsdam. Two sets of one officer
and two noncommissioned officers pro
ceeded in the early morning from Ber
lin to Potsdam. Each set was equipped
with a complete telephone . apparatus,
which one of the men carried in a
leather case on his chest, besides the
requisite quantity of thin wire. The
end of the wiie was connected with the
respective towns' telephone station,
and the wire was, by means of a fork
fixed at the end of the lance, thrown
over the tops of the trees along the road.
As each kilometer of wire was thus sus
pended a halt was made and it was as
certained whether there was connection
with the station. A new kilometer of
wire was then connected with the for
mer, and on went the men. The two
sets met at Tel tow. The wires, having
been respectively tested with their re
spective stations, were connected, and
telephonic connection between Berlin
and Potsdam was established. The dis
tance is about 20 miles, and the whole
thing was done in about four hours.

A Prince1 Gift.
The imperial princes have an English
governess, whom they look up to with
reverential awe, though notwithstand
ing, or perhaps for that very reason,
they are greatly attached to her. A
short while ago this lady's birthday was
the occasion of sundry presentations
from her little pupils and their august
parents. Among the valuable tokens of
liberality the governess noticed an in
significant looking cardboard box.
"Whatever is this?" she said as she
took it up in her hand.
Here Prince Oscar drew himself up
to his full height and replied, "That is
from me!"
"But it is empty," remarked the as
tonished recipient.
And the little prince replied : "Yes,
it is empty now, but tomorrow papa is
going to pull my first tooth, and the
box is to put it in. Then I'll give it to
on." ... , -
Next day, sure enough, the little
man, his face beaming with delight,
presented the tooth to his teacher, who
now wears it as a trinket on her bangle.

Death of the Crowing Hen.
At a very recent date, in many parts
of our country, it was a sign of bad
luck for a. hen to crow. Just why, is
difficult to trace. Perhaps because it
was considered the assumption by a
female of masculine prerogatives. When
ever a hen dared attempt it, she was
run down by the united efforts of all
the children on the premises, and her
head paid the forfeit.
A recent traveler in Kentucky writes
that while visiting at the country home
of a friend a hen was heard to crow.
Instantly the c was raised : "Catch
her 1 Kill her :"' He interposed in the
hen's behalf by reminding his hosts
that this was an "age of rights," and
she was therefore not guilty of any
wrongdoing. They scoffed at his hetero
doxy, and the clamor that followed pre
pared him for the return of the pursuers
bearing the head of the foolish fowl

Lord Bone and His Work.
In his earlier years Lord Bosse used
to be a diligent observer with the great
telescope which was completed in the
year 1845. But I think those who knew
Lord Rosse well will agree that it was
more the mechanical processes incidental
to the making of the telescope which
engaged his interest than the actual ob
servations with the telescope when it
was completed.' Indeed one who knew
him well said he believed Lord Roese's
cpeoial interest in the great telescope
ceased when the last nail had been
driven into it But the telescope was
never allowed to lie idle, for Lord Rosse
always had about him some enthusiastic
young man whose delight it was to em
ploy to the uttermost the advantages of
his position in exploring the wonders of
the sky. Good Words.

and taught his native tongue to the
magnates and youth of the principal

his Greek grammar was the standard
for many years. Greek at that time was
little known in western and northern
Europe, not a single book in that idiom
being found in the library of the king
of France as late as 1425, but it be
came a favorite study in Italy, where
many Greek scholars found refuge after

THE ROMANCE OF THE TELEGRAPH, j
Some of the Odd Diflicaltfoe of Operating
a IJne Through Qneer Countries. ; 1
A good deal of romance hovers around
the means by which the world's news is
which telegraph messages are trans
mitted between the uttermost parts of
the earth is marvelous when the condi
tions under which they are sometimes
transmitted are considered. .
The Indo-European .., telegraph 'line
offers a good illustration. It runs from
London to Lowestoft on the east coast
of England. It then dips under the sea
to Emden, on the German coast, whence
it passes through Germany to the Rus
sian frontier. From this point the wire
passes by way of Warsaw, Rowno, Odes
sa, the Caucasus, andTinis toPersia.and
by Tauris to Teheran, the capital of the
shah's queer domain. There it joins
the Indian government line which runs
from the Persian capital to Boshire on
the Persian gulf. Thence the wires, run
through Baluchistan, and complete the
route by connecting at Karachi, in
northern India. The operation of this
immense stretch of line, passing through
countries of such varying climates and
general characteristics, is obviously one
of much difficulty. On the snow
swept steppes of Russia the wires' are
sometimes snapped like thread by the
rapid flight of flocks of wild geese. The
poles are cut down and made into fire
wood by the nomad tribes of the Cau
casian districts, and the cunning inn
keepers of Georgia Beek to boom their
post horse trade by deliberately creating
faults in the wires. In certain parts of
this mountainous regions of Asia the
maintenance of the solitary line involves
no little personal risk and hardship to
the staff hands. Communication is
often cut' off by avalanches in the moun
tain districts, and the work of repairing
after a snowfall of five or six feet is
no light matter. ,
These mountain stations are provi
sioned with several months' supplies be
fore the winter sets in, as the staff will
be in touch with the rest of the world
by the wire only until the spring
weather opens out the passes. In these
supplies are always included a liberal
allowance of books and games where
with to relieve the monotony of the
tedious winter exile.- New York Sun.
THE SOUTHERN SUMMER.
I la Claimed That While Long It la Not
Oppressive.
Wrong impressions are bard to eradi
cate from . the human mind. In the
north and west it is a popular delusion
that southern summers are "extremely
hot and oppressive, and that life here
during the summer months is almost
unbearable. This impression is formed
upon no knowledge of the matter, but
simply upon the assumption : that, as
we are nearer the equator, it must
necessarily be much warmer than in
more northern latitudes. An investiga
tion of the records of the government
weather bureau will show that there is
no ground for such an assumption.
Our summers are long, but they are
not unpleasant. The heat in the north
and west is much more oppressive dur
ing June, July and August than in the
south. Deaths from sunstroke are mnch
more numerous there, and the heat is
decidedly more sultry. Our long even
ings are delightful, and a sultry night
is seldom experienced. Our laborers
work in the fields all day long, and
suffer less from the warmth than those
of the north. :,
In a nutshell, our summers compare
favorably with those of any section of
the country; and our long, pleasant,
warm season is a decided advantage.
Our farmers can commence to work the
land long before their northern and
western brothers think of beginning,
and can continue to utilize it months
after they have stopped. ... In the towns
and cities the residents are exempted
from-heavy expenditures for warm win
ter clothing, and for the larger portion
of the year the only fuel burned is for
oooking purposes.
In comparison with the north and
west, it is doubtful if our long, pleas
ant summer is not as far superior to
their short, blistering one as our short.
mild winters are to their long, frigid
ones. Montgomery (Ala. ) Advertiser.

IMPERIAL MILLIONS
By JULIAS HAWTH0ME
tCopyrlght, 1891, by American Press Aasocia
.. . tion.1
He was now within sight of the house,
and he quickened his pace, seeing in im- .
agination Olympia waiting for him there.'
How sweet beyond thought would their J
reunion be! For her he had surrendered
everything,,' Had there been more -to
give he would have given it; and he '
knew with a blessed certainty that she -would
love the poor artist as much as
and even more than the hundredfold
millionaire. . They would" find their,
riches in. each other, and the treasure of
a thousand worlds would be well ex
changed for that. .
Thus thinking he hurried forward and
crossed the lawn, which in a broad ex-
panse surrounded the house. Abroad
graveled drive, sweeping in a semicircle, I
led to the verandar and the front en-'
trance. On this he saw the marks of
carriage wheels and of horses' hoofs
evidence that Garcia had kept his com-'
pact. Yes, Olympia must actually be in
the house! He realized now the alter
native which hitherto he had not per
mitted himself to contemplate that Sal
lie, after robbing him of all, might have
omitted to fulfill her part of the agree
ment Had she done this he would
have had no remedy. His joy that this
crowning misery had been spared him
was so great that he could find it in his
heart to bless the enemy who had tor
mented him as seldom man had been
tormented. .
He sprang lightly on the veranda, and
trod it with resounding footsteps. He
had thought that Olympia might hear
him and come forth to meet him, but
she did not-appear. No doubt she was
too weak for any exertion, and he must
moderate the first manifestations of his
happiness lest she be overcome. But his
happiness was to last for a lifetime; he
could afford to put a curb noon it at the
outset, x ne uoor stood wide open. His
pulses beat with the buoyancy of boy
hood as he crossed the threshold.
The staircase was on the left; a morn
ing room on the right. He entered this
room. On a divan in the large bow
window some cushions were placed, and
upon the cushions, with a shawl thrown
over her, lay Olympia. She lay in an
easy position, hex right cheek resting on
her hand. She appeared to be asleep.
Grown weary with waiting for him, she
had probably dropped off into a nap.
He approached her softly, intending
to awaken her with a kiss. He knelt
down beside her and bent over her.
Sound indeed was her repose. There
was no movement of her bosom. No
breath came between her parted lips.
There was no throbbing in the artery of
her white wrist. Her cheeks were very
pale. . She looked as lovely as a spirit,
but in that warm spring air she was
strangely cold. Why was it? . What
was it? -
; "Olympia!" he said softly, "wake! it
is II" She did not stir.
"Olympia!" clamored a wild voice, ris
ing to a shriek, resounding and echoing
through the empty house. "Olympia!"
And then a harsh cry struggling in the
throat "Olympia!" But Olympia heard
not. She lay pale and still as before,
with her cheek upon her hand.
After a while' Keppel Darke rose from
his knees, another man than when he
knelt down. His face was pinched and
haggard, but he was now calm. . He felt
in his pocket, and an ejaculation of sat
isfaction escaped him as he drew out his
revolver. ' He had feared that, in the be
wilderment of the morning, he . might
have lost it. He examined the weapon;
it - was loaded, every chamber, and in
perfect order. He cocked it, and then,
bending down once more, kissed Olym
pic's face. As he raised himself erect,
and placed the muzzle against his tem
ple, he faced the window, and his glance
traveled out across lawn' and woodland,
bathed in the light of the declining sun
the lovely earth, rejoicing in spring,
which he would never see again. At a
distance of a couple of hundred yards the
drive passed through a gateway and was
merged in a country road, extending is
the direction of the swamp, where lay the
bones of Pranmin Onrmnt. And just at
the turning of the road, half a mile away,
was visible an object that, even at that
moment, caused Keppel Darke to stay
his hand and lower the revolver. The
object was a carriage and horses, and be
side it stood two figures. The carriage
seemed to have met with some accident.
Keppel gazed for a few moments with
burning eyes. Gradually a terrible smile
wrinkled his cheeks. He uncocked the
revolver, slipped . it back in, his pocket
and bounded out of the room. Leaving
the house by a door in the rear, and tak
ing advantage of the concealment of the
shrubbery, he gained the woodland, and
then set off at a swift, leaping run in the
direction of the carriage. His course
would keep him out of sight of the two
persons until he was close upon them.
In less than five minutes he was very
near. , Peering out between the trees, he
saw that the forward wheel of the car
riage had come off, the pin having given
away. Garcia was working to remedy
the broken piece, and 1 Sallie, clad in
man's clothes, was leaning against the
bole of a young oak hard by, with her
hands hanging folded in front of her.
Her utter unconsciousness of the eyes
that were fixed upon her seemed strange
to Keppel. He was half inclined to sus
pect affectation. To test the matter, he
drew his revolver, cocked and leveled it.
He was an excellent shot. He could hit
a shilling at twenty paces nine times in
ten. He took aim at a button on Sallie's
coat, just over heart. Only an imper
ceptible contraction of his forefiner was
needed to send her - to another world.
She did not change her position, but she
spoke to Garcia in an amused tone. "You
don't seem as successful a wheelwright,
Nanak, as yon are in other professions.
Let us give it up and. walk." .
"This is my evil day and yours, also,"
said he whom she called Nanak. "At
six o'clock the worst will be passed, but
until then" - -'. -V"
"The worst! " This has been the hap- "
. rjiest and most successful dav of mv life!
If I were to die this moment I should die
satisfied. But yon and I, my dear princf,
are not going to die just yet, in spite of
that broken wheelpin. You shall buy
back your kingdom, or intrigue it
back" .- .'. ,' I
"Be still! It has comer said the other,
rising to his feet as Keppel left his con
cealment behind the trees and advanced
upon them, covering - Sallie ' with his
weapon. . .. - : -'
: The suddenness of the apparition add
ed, nerhans. - to other influences, over-
j threw the woman's habitual self com
mand. She crouched with the instinctive'
impulse to escape, but the muzzle of the
revolver followed her. "Stand up!" said
KeppeL
"Are yoti afraid to die?"
"Why do you do this?" she demanded,
fiercely. "Have I not kept my promise?"
"Even her dead body is worth a uni
verse of souls like yours; but you have
taken her life, and you must join your
sister devils. - It is no punishment; but
there can be none for you in this world.
You shall go elsewhere."
"I tell yon she is alive! Speak to him,
Nanak! he will believe yon. , What does
he mean? She is alive!" : -
"It is-the evil hour," said the man, in
differently. "It cannot be averted."
He spoke in an abstracted tone, and
stood staring on the ground with his
arms hanging by his side. "The evil
hour!" he repeated.
"Coward not to help me! And you.
Keppel Darke! coward to kill a defence
less woman! Oh, if I had a weapon!
Give me an equal chance and I will not
be the first to cry for mercy."
"Yes, it shall be so," said KeppeL ."L
too, prefer it. You shall have the chance
you think so valuable. -
"Have you another pistol?" she asked,
with fierce, searching eyes. .
- "No; but you shall have your chance
at this. We will draw lots for it. Gar
cia, pluck two grasses and hold them for
us. :The one who wins shoots."
Garcia complied. There was an ex
pression of weary contempt on his feat
ures as he held out the grasses, con
cealing their length. "You cannot
avert it," he said to Sallie. as she stood
trembling with suspense, now flushed,
now white. - - .
"I shall win I will kill you yet. Kep
pel DarkeP she said between her teeth.
Keppel was now as impassive as Garcia.
"Which gets the pistol the short grass
or the long?"
"The long," said Sallie.
."Thereit lies," rejoined Keppel, plac
ing the revolver on the turf at her feet
"Now, are j'ou ready?" ' -
"Yes I shall win!" .
"Draw, thenf"
They both drew simultaneously. Sal
lie won. She threw up her hands with
a wild laugh, and then stooped to pick
up the weapon. But Garcia had already
secured it. Keppel stepped back a pace
or two and stood with his hands clasped
behind him.
"Give it Jto me!" said Sallie, I will
kill him myself. Ah, Keppel Darke at
last!" . ..'.';. - ' - "T
"You cannot kill him," returned the
other, retaining the wenpon. "It is you
who must die you and L" -
"Are you mad? .Give me the revol
ver!" She tried to snatch it from him.
He avoided her movement, and, with
a quick turn of the arm, aimed at her
heart and fired. She .remained erect a
moment, her eyes dilating in a stare of
rage and amazement. - As she sank for
ward,, the wound being almost instantly
fatal, the mysterious being who had
slain her received her in ' his arms and,
half kneeling, supported her against his
shoulder. . - ,
- "You Caucasians do not understand
love," he said, looking up' with a quiet
face at Keppel. "You do not; this wom
an did. not, but she understands now.
Hitherto many things have separated us,
but henceforth we shall be together.
Why do you wait here. Go home to
ycur Olyinpia. Be happy in your way.

"You will come with-me," said Kep

"Olympia is alive," returned the other
quietly. "What you mistook for death
was only trance. I should have awak
ened her as soon as we were off . your
grounds." ; He paused and waved his
arm with a peculiar gesture. "She is
awake now," he added, "and she looks
for you. . Go to her and leave us to our
selves." ; - - - . "' ' .

will assault the enemy in its citadel, and,
by its inherent potency, stay the current
of dissolution, bringing joy to homes oyer
which the shadow ot the grave has been
gradually growing more strongly defined,
causing fond hearts to grieve. The cheap
ness of the remedy ottered ireeiy apart
from its inherent strength, is enough to
commend it, and more so is the perject
confidence of the great chemist making the
offer, who holds on t life to those already
becoming emaciated, and says: "Be
enred." .
