BAVARIA'S MAD KUNU
Th Pitiable Condition In Wbiob
King Otto Uvea.
Althons;h Honored by Tile Sahjeets His
Death Would De Considored a Mess
ina; to Them and Their
Country.
The reign of the mad Ring Otto, of
Bavaria, unfortunately for the country
and the people, promises to continue for
some time. The marvelous Wittolsbach
strength, according to trustworthy re
ports, has enabled the king to recover
from the effects of the physical weak
ness which overcame him a short time
ago. He may live for yeurs in the semi
conscious state in which lw is found a
great part of the time. As a matter of
course he has the best medical care and
attendance possible, and the physicians
do all in their power to prolong his un
happy and miserable existence. No
other course is possible, but his death
would be a relief to the country and to
Germany.
Although as a rule he is unable to
recognize his relatives, attendants or
friends, and remains for hours motion-,
less in his padded room, he has lucid in
tervals. Not a great while ago he sud
denly recognized his attendants and bo
came cognizant of his lofty position. A
cavalier about the castle asked him if
he did not wish to show himself to his
subjects in Munich.
"Gladly, gladly, would I go to Mu
nich," he is said to have replied, with a
look of irrepressible sadnesu in his eyes,
"but my people wish to see a well king,
and I am sick. Yes, yes, yes, I am sick,
and these terrible fancies will not leave
me."
Upon another occasion he demanded
suddenly that his attendants take him
to his capital. In order to avoid an at
tack of violent excitement, probable in
case of a refusal, a stout carriage was
summoned to the castla steps. The
king, one of the physicians and an at
tendant, clad in his royal livery to
avoid suspicion, antercd the coach,
which started on its journey. Looking
out of the window the king saw a
meadow almost covered with variously
hued flowers. lie expressed the desire
to gather a bouquet to present to his
mother, and the coachman stopped
while he plucked the flowers. Cut the
ork was too tiring, and he returned to
tiie carriage completely exhausted, lie
was taken back to the castle and placed
In bed. When he awoke the following
morning his reason was again clouded
and he had entirely forgotten his visit
to Munich.
The (rreatest difficulty which con- J
fronts the king's physicians is to per
suade him to eat. He is an inveterate
smoker of cigarettes. At times the doc- j
tors take advantage of his weakness.
Upon one occasion they placed a pack
age of cigarettes on the table next to
his plate. When the king entered the
dining-room he rushed at once toward
the cigarettes, but the attendant physi
cian quickly threw a napkin over them,
saying at the same time: "The cigarettes,
your majesty, must follow the dinner."
Keeping the tobacco in sight during the
meal time, the doctor induced the
king to eat some nourishing food. He
received his reward at the proper time. I
But such subterfuges are not always '
successful. Although the good Bava
rians celebrate his natal day with be
coming loyalty, they wonld, one and
til, welcome his de.tth as a deliverance
to the country. Prince Leopold, the
regent, is popular, and his son promises
to become one of the most enlightened
monarchs who have sat upon south
German tlirones.
A CANINE DRUNKARD.

THE GREYHOUND.
Dogs I'sed for the Chnee by Kogliaa
Sovereigns and Nobles.
Greyhounds have existed in very
much the same form as we find them
to-day for more than three thousand
years, as wo find them pictured on
Egyptian monuments of that remote
period. The name probably came from
their general color in England when
King Canute decreed that none but
princes and nobles should keep them.
The color now, in either smooth or
rough coated greyhounds, is very sel
dom grey, but more of ton fawn, red,
brindled (either red and black mixed
or fawn and blue), or black.
The smooth coated dog is known as
the English greyhound, and the rough
coated as the Scotch deerhound. In
conformation they are very much
the same. Thoy are the fastest run
ners of any of the canine race. On
level ground they can go as fast as a
race horse, and over hilly ground they
can unquestionably beat even the fleet
footed thoroughbred. Formerly the
English dog was used in chasing the
red and fallow deer, and it Is related
that on one occasion Queen Elizabeth
witnessed the pulling down of sixteen
bucks. The dogs of that dnj must ha-e
been stronger than those now found in
England. When the master of the
royal buckhounds now has a meet in the
royal forests of England it is a sorry
sight, for the deer are themselves more
than half domesticated, and do not
know how to get away.
The greyhound is used, however, in
coursing hares, and it is one of the na
tional sports of Great Britain. In
Texas and some other parts of America
where jack rabbits abound grey
hounds are kept to chase them. The
English greyhound is a beautiful,
graceful and aristocratic looking dog
but the Scotch deerhound is more dig
nified in appearance. These dogs ar
trained to hunt game by the eye alone.
They have good noses, however, and if
permitted to do so will also hunt by
scent.
THE VANISHING MO0SS.
Departure of New York's utms for. Parts
, Unknown. ,
A deer, when started by a hunter or
driven by hounds, usually returns in a
few days to the same hill or mouutain
side where he was first found; but a
moose, says Madison Grant in the
Century, when once thoroughly
alarmed, will start on a long, swinging
walk, and, taking with him his entire
family, leave for good. It is one of the
greatest difficulties and there are
many in still-hunting this animal, to
avoid getting him under way. for then
the hunter may as well brejik camp
and try other iields, since not a moose
will be found within miles. They
scent a moccasin track or the smoke of
a fire at an incredible distance. A
fresh trail may bo found one day and
arrangements made to follow it at day
break : on the morrow. During the
night the moose, returning to his old
haunts, detects the danger-signs, and
all the hunters find in the morning is a
trail six or eight hours old leading for
parts unknown in an almost perfectly
straight line. The moose is at that
rnntr,pnt,. perhaps, twenty miles off and
still going.
Although moose cannot be driven to
water by hounds like a deer, but will
turn savagely to bay, still they will
not remain in a locality where dogs arc
running; so that when the white hunt
ers became numerous in the North
woods, and especially when they intro
duced hounding; the moose simply left
the country and passed either east
ward to Maine or northward to
Canada.
It is a well-authenticated but little
known fact that they practically left
in one season. They were numerous
in the Adirondack, especially in
Brown's tract a large district in what
is now the southwestern part of the
wilderness until the period between
1850 and 1855 (probably near the latter
year), when they suddenly disap
peared. Before this several had beer
killed yearly. Scattered ones wor
shot later, but 1855 marked their exit
from the annals of New York game
Years later, four or five were brought
back to Saranac, but would not stay.
The Houian Consul.
The most honorable office in the Bo
man republic was that of consul.
There were always two elected every
year, one each from the patricians and
plebeians. The consul must he at
least forty-three years old and inu.-t
have held the office of quaestor, aedi!e
praetor. The consuls were the headi
of the republic, discharging- all public
functions, such as receiving ambassa
dors or assembling the senate. Theii
insignia were those of a king except a
crown. They were always attended
each by twelve lictors or servants,
bearing the boxes or bundles of
rods with an ax in the center. The lie-tors-,
however, proceeded only one at a
time, the lictorsof the other following
him. The year was named after them,
and any laws passed at their recom
mendation also went by their names.
They commanded the armies of the re
public, and when both were with the
same antiy they commanded on alter
nate dayv Under the eirirors the ui
flee became an empt.3' honor, though
surrounded with much prea'er state.
Sympathetic bounds.
A stringed instrument suspended in
a favorable position near a pianoforte
will sound when tones corresponding
to the open strings aro produced on the
pianoforte. The volume of the answer
ing tone v. ill depend upon fttrnosplieric
condition, the quality and color of
the pcTKiiading tone and the sensitive
ness of the responding material. There
is a familiar anecdote told of a famous
tenor, who by singing the tone that
was consonant with that of a wine
glass, could make tbe glass shiver so
violently that it would fall to pieces.
It is because of the tonal sympathy
that the cause of a harsh, rattling tone
that may suddenly appear in 0 piano
forte is detected with difficulty.
Though it may appear to be in the in
strunent, it is often far away and may
come from a loose globe or pendant on
a chftndelier. Even a key In the door
has been known to be the guilty cause.
FIRE WITHOUT SMOKE.
A Berlin Inventor's Nehenie for Burning
Powdered Coal Is Successful.
Wherever there's smoke there's fire
is an adage based on observation of
unvarying physical laws, but the re
verse does not always hold good, for j
tucre iuu,y ue mc wiuioub blllUKe, or Ub
all events without apparent smoke. .
In Berlin, according to the New
castle Chronicle, an inventor has suc
ceeded in devising a means for insur
ing complete combustion without the
emission of smoke, and his method
has, on repeated tests, proved so satis
factory that two of the most important
steauishipping companies in Germany
have decided on adapting it to their
steamers. In this system coal, reduced
to powder in centrifugal disintegrators,
is introduced into a pear-shaped com
bustion chamber lined with firebrick,
and fitted with an induction apparatus
like those used in petroleum-fired fur
naces, the coal dust being drawn along
by a jet of steam or compressed air.
The combustion chamber, which
takes the place of a furnace, Is provided
with two apertures, one in the center
line of the boiler, occupying the posi
tion of the usual fire-hole door, while
the other, on the opposite side of the
combustion oharaber. serves for intro
ducing the coal dust through a pipe, so
placed that the dust is evenly dispersed
over the whole surface of the chamber.
After the first Ignition, which may be
effected by any source of heat, the com
bustion continues-regularly and in
tensely under the action of the air cur
rent, which is regulated in accordance
with the quantity of dust required
to produce the necessary heat. The
air or steam and dust are intimately
mingled in the zone of combustion,
while the speed of the current, which
has served as a vehicle for the dust, is
much reduced. Each particle of fuel
held in suspension is by this method
brought into such close contact with
the oxygen necessary for its combus
tion that this combustion is bo com
plete as to allow of practically no
smoke being generated.
LITERARY LABOR.
Value of Early Rising and Dancer of
Overworking.
To make literary work healthy is a
simple process, depending on the mode
in which each day is allotted to it, and
also on the modo in which the body is
physically trained and disposed to
carry it out, writes Sir B. W. Richard
son in the Ascleplad. The first grand
point is to begin the day well by early
rising. The universal experience of
the wisest men of all ages is in lavot
of the habit of getting up early in the
morning. The practice is closely con
nected with length of life. Ft is also
closely connected with happiness and
activity of life. With the early hours
of the morning literary work is alwnys
most fruitfully associated, when the
habit of early work is once acquired.
Thoughts are freshest then; the ar
rangement of thoughts is clearest
then; memory is keenest then. Thus
thought, method and memory conspire
together, and labor becomes pleasure.
Mp'-n ti, .-vn vnr fellow-workman
In the work of the day of the literary
life nothing is so wholesome as to
carry out the work without strain.
There is always some little difficulty in
getting into harness, but, this mas
tered, work becomes easy enough.
Samuel Johnson records that he could
always work when he was forced to it;
and Miss Martineau tells us that after
the first quarter of an hour she found
everything easy. With healthy minds
this experience is common. There is,
however, a danger connected with it
that must not be forgotten; that dan
ger is the too long continuance of the
labor after it has become easy. With
some this danger is serious. The work
is so fascinating, the time goes as if
hours were minutes, and the physical
hours are, as it were, stolen upon. -and
robbed outrageously.
THu Hi.ur'if MrLtCTION.
Few Women Know llnw to Use It When
fiaylnv "Thank You."
It is to be regretted wholly in the
interest of her sex that the woman
who thanks a gentleman for surrender
ing to her his seat in the cars does not
speak up boldly and cheerfully as if
she really meant what she said.
It has been long maintained by our
foreign critics, says the Pittsburgh
Dispatch, that the English language
lucks flexibility, nice shades of mean
ing, the quality of expression, com
pared to other tongues. But after
careful observation at home and
abroad I am satisfied that the lack of
expression is rather in the English
speaker than in the language.
There are an infinite number of
shades of which this little "Thank
you" is susceptible, as anyone about
town knowB. It may be uttered In
such a way as to make the blood tingle
with indignation, it can be said with
such grace and sweetness that the re
cipient will carry the memory of it
as the memory of some delicious per
fume, or beautiful picture, or sympa
thetic strain of music all through the
long day of business cares. For such
a reward as this thousands of men
have suffered uncomplaining, have en
dured the tortures of the inquisition,
have fought, bled and died upon the
battlefield. It would seem a very sim
ple thing, but the graces and polite
ness and gentleness of speech which
distinguished the women of the chiv
alric age are now almost wholly un
known. When women talk of the decay of
chivalry in men they forget that men
are what women make them. Men are
the exact reflection of their mothers
and sisters and wives. Through the
history of the men of tbe past we have
accurate knowledge of the character
of tbe women of that time. As it is
Impossible for the fountain to rise
higher than its source, so It is impossi

mothers, their sweethearts, wives and
sisters.

SMUGGLING ENCOURAGED.
Ceetoma Offleiala Who Are Too Lazy to
Kxamlne Travelers' Trunks.
One of the most humorous phases of
passing through the custom house is
connected with the fact that its officials
often seem to reserve their gravest dis
pleasure for the very honest people. A
writer in the Outlook says that she
had bought a dress pattern of loden, a
sort of woolen goods made only in the
Tyrol, and packed it in the top of her
trunk for the inspection of the Italian
othoials. One after another the trunks
were unlocked and closed again until
nothing was left but an unpretending
little straw one which had been over
looked. "You have nothing in it nothing,
signora?" asked the officer.
"Yes, I have," was my unexpected
reply. "It is just here on top."
I opened the trunk and displayed my
uncut goods. The train whistled, of
ficials granted,- people jostled past us
and glared at me. I knew he wanted
to say: "Why do you bother me by de
claring it?"
He wrenched the loden out of the
trunk and started toward the inner of
fice, bidding me follow. There I was
greeted by another official in these
words, spoken with excitement and
much gesticulation:
"How is this? Just now at the last
moment and the train ready to go.
How is this?"
One man was weighing the goods, an
other poising a pen In his hand,and half
a dozen looking on.
"Why is this?" repeated the chief of
ficer. "Why do you declare this at the
very last moment?"
"Perhaps it would have been better
if I hail not declared it at all," I said,
in my suavest tones.
"But to come at the last moment"
"Surely it is not for my pleasure,
Mr. Officer, that you ransacked my
trunks,'"' I reminded him.
Then he looked at me with Ui air-of
childlike helplessness so characteristic
of Italians.
"But there is no time now to look
over your other baggage and see what
else you have."
1 laughed.
"I put this on top and declared it," I
said. "There is nothing else, I assure
you. But be tranquil; next time I
pass the frontier I will smuggle every
thing and declare nothing. I promise
never to put you to so much trouble
again."
A quiver of a smile crossed his lips,
but he growled:
, "But the train is waiting."
"Yes," I replied, "and it must still
wait until you are pleased to return
my goods and allow me to relock my
trunk."
The end of it all was that I was
bowed out of the office after paying
one dol'nr (jnty on a four-dollar piece

AoniAihitiK of a Freak of Nature.
Twenty years ago the Indians in
Colorado knew hut little of the white
man, and nothing hardly of his ways
or habits except from tradition.
Among the people who went to settle
in Colorado at that time, says
Golden Days, was a man with very red
hair. He and his party were thrown
among the Indians, who thought at
first that his hair was painted, just as
they painted their own bodies and
faces.
An old chief came up to him one day
and looked at his hair very carefully.
"Ugh!" said he.
And theu, turning to the interpreter
who had the party in charge, he
wanted him to ask the man where he
got the kind of paint that would color,
and yet not be greasy or look dauby.
He was told that the man's hair was
not painted, but he would not
believe It. He once more walked
up to the man and scrutinized
his locks, running his hand through
them and looking at his fingers.
The red-haired man became a little
nervous, and half fancied that the chief
was calculating how nice a red scalp
would look hung to his belt. The In
terpreter, however, laughingly told the
man what the chief had said.
Two or three more of the Indians
then gathered around the party, and
they and the interpreter had a pow
wow. Finally the interpreter asked
the man if he would object to putting
water on his hair.
lie saw tliiit the Indians would not
believe boi, that it uus painted, until
they saw tiat the water would not
wash the color out. The mau took
sume water, rubbed It on his hair ami
then showed his hands to them. Hut
It took four or five days of wondering
examination to convince them that he
had aot found some peculiar paint, and
got himself up in a bright red suit of
hair.

EUPHRASIA.
The Beautiful Legend Connected with the
Dedication of St. Sophia.
A legend connected with the Church
of St Sophia is recalled by "An Idle
Woman in Constantinople," and as it
contains a moral fragrant of truth it
may well be held In perpetual remem
brance. When the basilica was fin
ished Emperor Justinian gave or
ders that an inscriptiion in letters of
gold should be placed about the dome:
"Justinian dedicates this church to the
glory of God." But on the day of the
public opening the emperor looked up
at the dome and saw, with amazement,
that the inscription ran: "Euphrasia
dedicates this church to the glory of
God."
"What is the meaning of this mock
ery?" he asked, pointing upward, and
turning to the patriarch sitting beside
the throne he said: "Did I not com
mand you to have my name engraven
on the dome?"
"Who is Euphrasia?" called the
patriarch. "Who knows a woman
bearing such a name? If anyone can
answer let him speak."
From the priests to the lowest of the
assembled thousands the question:
"Who is Euphrasia?" ran round the
church. No one answerod. At length,
while the emperor sat mute and
amazed, a miserable follow who
cleaned the marble floor stepped forth
and said:
"Imperial Co?sar, to whom I am un
worthy to raise my cyos, I know a
woman with such a name, but she is
almost bedridden. She lives in a little
house near one of the walls of the
church."
"Bring her hither," commanded the
emperor, and straightway pages and
chamberlains rushed out and soon re
appeared carrying an aged woman
whq trembled in everv wjmb .
"Is your name Euphrasia?" asked the
emperor.
"Yes, mighty emperor, it is."
"What do you know of that inscrip
tion?" and ho pointed aloft to the
large letters on the vault.
"Nothing, my lord, nothing!"
"But you sen your name on the
church. It stands there instead of
mine. What have you done toward
the building of the church?"
"Great king, nothing. My lord mocks
his poor servant."
"Not at all," replied the emperor.
"They toll me you live near. Think!
Have you done nothing, spoke noth
ing, thought nothing to give you this
claim?"
"Majesty," bIic said, "there is a little
act, but it is so small I am ashamed to
trouble my lord with its mention."
"Speak. I command you," said Jus
tinian. "Fear not. Tell me all."
Then she told how, as sho lay on her
bed in her little house, she heard with
sorrow the travail of tho oxen and
mules, carrying the marble and brick
and beams up the steep hill, and her
heart was sore within her; and how,
when she grew better, the . thought
struck her:
"Who knows If I cannot do so"i
COINS FROM PRIVATE MINTS.
They Were Issued Up to the Time of the
Civil War.
The constitution of the United States
provides that no state shall coin
money; but it seems that individuals
might do so, up till about the time of
the late civil war. Of course it has al
ways been against the low to counter
feit or imitate the coinage of the United
States, and so, necessarily, a coin is
sued by a privute mint would have to
be so distinctive in shape or markings
as to show that it was not intended to
pass as federal money. For this reason,
says the Washington Star, the fifty
dollar gold coins or tokens issued by
several private mints in California
during the flush times of the fifties
were octnonal in shape.
Gold coins were also issued by the
Mormons of Utah at about the same
time, and the same thing had been
done by parties in Georgia and North
Carolina.
I'robubly tho latest of these private
mints was the one established in Den
ver in the early sixties. It is said that
the coinage of this establishment be
ing brought to the attention of Secre
tary Chase, that eminent financier was
much astonished to lind a respectable
firm of bunkers engaged in makkig
and u'tcring money, and was still
further surprised when the attorney
general of the United States declared
they had the right to do so.
This incident caused tho passage of
a law ab.iolutjly prohibiting Individ
uals from issuing or circulating any
thing intended in any manner to serve
as monov. - il
