CLUMSY DANCERS.
Trie Kaiser Forced to Bar Them at Im
perial Entertainments ,
Clumsiness in dancing has for a long'
time been regarded as a most unpar
donable sin at the various royal and
imperial courts of Europe, where the
highly-polished and parquetted floors
of the palaces and the spurs which
form part and parcel of every full
dress uniform render waltzing' a matr
ter of some danger. At Berlin acci
dents of this character are .said by
Vogue to have been so frequent until a
year ago that shortly after Christmas
Emperor William summoned the gen
eral commanding the various troops
stationed in and around Berlin and in
structed him to direct those oJEcers
who were not able to dance properly to
abstain from attempting to do so at
imperial entertainments. Since then
young officers are put through their
paces by their seniors and are obliged
to display a certain proficiency in pas
seuls around the messroom billiard
table before being allowed to dance at
court. On one occasion a court ball
at Berlin a young cavalry subaltern
incurred the anger of the late Prince
Frederick Charles by tripping up
his partner. The prince assailed the
young officer so bitterly that the late
Emperor Frederick, then only crown
prince, was obliged to intervene. At
the Viennese court, a young secretary
of the Eoumanian legation once fell so
unfortunately while dancing with one
of the archduchesses that he came
down in a sitting position on her face,
causing her llapsburg' nose to bleed.
It is scarcely necessary to add that he
left Vienna the next day, and, a
week later, obtained his transfer to
another post. The duke of Aosta,
nephew 'of King Humbert of Italy,
broke his ankle last winter while
: waltzing at a ball given at Some by
the popular Mme. le Glait, the wife of
the Belgian minister at Washington,
and, a few weeks before the tragedy at
Meyerling, the now , widowed Crown
Princess Stephanie had a nasty fall,
due to the gaucherie of a cavalry offi
cer with whom she was waltzing. Em
peror Francis Joseph was much an-
rnoyed, and so, too, was the late Crown
Prince Itudolph. who spoke his mind
in no measured terms to the culprit.
Ear more polite was Emperor Na
poleon III., when at a Tuileries ball, a
middle-aged officer and his fair part
ner came to grief. As the mortified
lancer scrambled to hi3 feet, the em
peror kindly extended a hand to help
. him and, turning to the lady.remarked:
"Madam, this is the second time that I
have seen the colonel the first
time it was on the battle field of Ma-
"genTa."
! " Crime and Immorality.
The international pickpocket art is,
in. Europe at least, almost entirely car
ried on by Koumanians, Servians, Bul
garians, Russians and Galicians. They
outrank in cleverness by far the once
vorld-famous English and American
professionals in that line. The in
crease in all civilized lands of crimes
against morality, rcligioD, public peace
and the government is mostly due to
. the socialistic wave which permeates
. all classes. While crimes and crim
inals will always exist as long as the
world lasts, the next few centuries in
their onward march of education and
civilization will bring about a marked
decrease, and the criminal statistics
and annals of the present time will
; read like fables to the people of that
remote future.
ECHOES OF THE FAIR.
The firemen of Walla Walla, Wash.,
have elected as "honorary members"
the firemen who perished in the cold
storage fire in Chicago.
Chicago street cars carried 94,000,000
persons during the six months of the
existence of the world's fair. On Oc
tober 0, Chicago day, they carried
762,000 people.
The temple which was such a con
spicuous part of the Ceylon exhibit at
the world's fair, was recently sold at
auction for 2,800. Its value is esti
mated at $25,000. It will be fitted up
as a summer cottage at Lake Geneva,

The readers of this paper will be mttch
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that, science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh. Cure is the
only posf live cure known to the medical
fraternity.. Catarrh being a constitu
tional disease, requires a constitutional
treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the 'system,
thereby destroying the foundation" of the
disease", and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and as
sisting roture in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith fn its
curative powers that they offer $100 for

TROUBLESOME JURORS.
Some Remarkable Cases of Obsti
nate Talesmen. ,.
One Han May Have the Other Eleven at
Ills - Mercy Flattery Sometimes
Used as a Means of. -
Conviction. ''.'''
Jurymen are sometimes quite uncon
scious of their own determination of
spirit.' One of them, says the London
Illustrated News, Croake .Tames tells
us, once explained to the Eecorder,
who had noticed hi.3 peculiarity, that
his behavior was entirely misunder
stood. "No man, sir, is more open
than I am to conviction, and to do
what is right in every case, but I have
notme with the same consideration
from others. It has generally been my
lot to be on a jury with eleven of the
most obstinate men imaginable, who
will not listen to reason." It is fair to
say that once in a hundred times or so
this minority of one proves to be in
the right. Lord Lyndhurst mentions
a case in which, through the opposi
tion of a single individual, the jury,
who were otherwise all for a verdict
of guilty, could come to no agreement;
but on the prisoner being tried again
he was unanimously and, as it turned
out, justly acquitted. On the other
hand, some jurymen have- top low an
opinion of what some philosophers
call their ego, and are willing to
depute their duties to an alter ego.
When Justice Gould had been about
two " hours trying a case at York he
noticed there were but eleven jury
men in the box. "Please, my lord,"
replied the foreman, in answer to the
judge's natural inquiry, "the other has
gone away about some business he had
to do, but he has left his verdict with
me." '
The most remarkable case of a jury
"standing out" against what seemed
unrefutable testimony, and all through
the resolution of one . man, oc
curred before. Chief Justice Dyer. He
presided at a murder trial in which
everything went against the prisoner,
who on his part could only say that on
his going to work in the morning he
had found the man "ing, and tried to
help him, whereby i. had become cov
ered with blood, but when the man
presently died he had come, away and
said nothing about it, because he was
known to have had a quarrel with the
deceased, and feared that he might get
into trouble. The hay fork with
which the. man had been murdered had
the prisoner's name on it. In other re
spects hisuilt appeared to be clearly
established, and the chief 'justice was
convinced of it. When this is the case :
a judge likes to get a conviction. I
have sat beside one myself, who on
the second day brought his black cap
with him, neatly folded, and placed it
in the drawer before him ready for
use, and very much annoyed he seemed
to be when the jury returned a verdict
of "not guilty." This was Chief Jus
tice Dyer's case, and when, notwithv
standing their being locked up all
night without fire and candle, his
jury could come to no deci
sion, and eventually came : to the
wrong . one, he put some searching
questions to the high sheriff., : The
cause of the acquittal, said that offi
cial, was undoubtedly the foreman, a
farmer of excellent, character, es
teemed by all his neighbors and very
unlikely to be obstinate or vexatious.
"Then," said the judge, "I must see
this foreman, for an explanation of the
matter I will have." The foreman
came, and after extracting from his
lordship a promise of secrecy proved
at once that the prisoner had been
rightly acquitted, "for," said he, 'it
was I myself who killed the man." It
had been no murder, for the other had
attacked him with the hayfork, and
(as he showed) severely injured him;
but in the struggle to get possession
of the weapon he had the misfortune
to give the man a fatal wound. He
had no fears as to his being found
guilty of the murder, but, the assizes
being just over, his farm and affairs
would have been ruined, by a confes
sion, through lying so long in jail, so
he . suffered matters to take their
course. He was horrified to find one
of his own servants ' accused of the
matter,-supported his wife and chil
dren while in prison, . managed to be
placed on the jury and elected fore
man, and resolutely held out in favor
of the prisoner's innocence. He added
that if be had failed in this he would
certainly have confessed to his own
share in the business, and ,the judge
believed him. .Every year for fifteen
years his lordship made inquiries as to
the foreman's existence, and ' at last,
happening to survive him, he consid
ered himself free to tell the story.
A New Source of Alcohol.
Wood cellulose can be converted into
sugar and used to make' alcohol, but
the compact texture of . the wood
makes the method expensive. The cel
lulose of peat moss, however, is now
reported to have given more favorable
results. The cellulose is converted
into sugar by boiling the turf four or
five hours in dilute . snliyhnrin noirl.
when the expressed liquor is ferment
ed wnn yeast ana afterward distilled.
The dry turf is stated to yield rather
more than half as much absolute alco
hol as an equal weight of potatoes con
taining 20 per cent, of starch.
V . Tattooing Utilized. "
- A French physician, who lias, found
that the majority of deaths upon the
battlefield arise from the bleeding to
death of the wounded . while . waiting
for the surgeon, proposes that each sol
dier in the French army, shall, be
taught where the . arteries of his body
are and how to arrest hemorrhages
from them. In doing this he has found
a use for that most useless of arts
tattooing; a small figure of some kind
being tattooed over each ' artery, - so
that the soldier can - at once see where
to apolv the li"-ntrire. .
