forth from their comfortable homes,
and dwell fi*r mvd days in thom* booths
or arbors. Why do they do tlmt? \S ell,
it is h great festal tune. It is the
feast of tabernacles; and these people iv
join* to celebrate the desert travel of their
fathers and their deliverance from their
troubles, tho experience of their fathers
when traveling iu the desert, they lived in
booths on their way to the land of Canaan.
And so these booths also become highly sug
gestive—l will not nay they are necessarily
typical. I Hit highly suggestive—of our man h
toward heaven, and of the fart that we are
only living temporarily here, as it were, in
booths or arbors, on our way to the Canaan
of eternal rest.
And what was said to the Jews literally
may to-day be said figuratively to all this au
dience. Go forth into the mountain, and
fetch olive branches, aud pine branches, and
myrtle branches, and palm branches, and
hnuiches of thick trees to make booths. Yes,
we are only here in a temporary residence.
We are marching on. The merchant princes
who usod to live in Howling Green, New
York, have passed away, and their residences
are now the fields of cheap merchants.
Where are the men who fifty years ago owned
New’ York? Passed on.
There is no use iu our driving our stakes
too deep into the earth; we are on tho
march The generations that have preceded
us have gone so far on that we cannot even
hear the sound of their footsteps. They have
rone over the hills, aud we are to follow
tuem. But, blessed be God, we are not iu
this world left out of doors and unsheltered.
There are gospel booths, or gospel arbors, in
Which our souls are to l* comforted. Go
forth unto the mountain, and fetch olive
branches, and pine branches, and myrtle
branches, and palui branches, aud branches
af thick trees, and build booths.
Well, now we are to-day to construct a
gospel arbor, or gospel booth; and how shall
w© construct it? Well, we must get all the
tree branches and build. According to my
text we must go up into the mount and bring
olive branches. What does that mean 1 '
The olive tree grows in warm climates, and
it reaches t he height of t wenty or twenty-two
Ceet.a straight stem, and t hen an offshoot from
that stem And then people come, and they
strip off these branches sometimes, ami when
in time of war the General of one army takes
one of these olive branches ami goes out to
the General of another army, v? hat does that
mean v Why, it means unsaddle the war
chargers. It means hang up the war knap
sacks. It is but a beautiful way of saying
Peace!
Now, if we are to-day going to succeed in
building this gospel arbor, we must go into
the Mount of God s blessing, and fetch the
olive branches and whatever else we must
have. We must have at lea*t two olive
branches—peace with God and peace with
mau. When I say peace with God, Ido not
mui to represent God as a bloody chieftain,
having a grudge against us, but I do mean to
affirm there is no more antagonism between a
hound and a hare, between a hawk and a pul
lei, between elephant and swine, than there
is hostility between holiness and sin. And if
God ia all holiness, aud we are all sin, there
must l>e a readjustment, there must be a re
construction, there must lie a treaty, there
must be a stretching forth of olive branches.
There is a great lawsuit going on now, and
it is a lawsuit which man is bringing against
ills Maker; that lawsuit is now on the cal
endar. It is the human versus the divine;
it is iniquity versus the immaculate- it is
weakness versus omnipotence. Man began
it; God did not begin the lawsuit. Wo be
gan it; wo assaulted our Maker, and the
sooner we end this part of the struggle in
which the finite attempts to overthrow the
infinite and omnipotent, the sooner we end it
the better.
Travelers tell us there is no such place as
Mount Calvary, that it is only a hill, only
an Insignificant Kill; but I persist in calling
it the mount of God’s divine mercy and love,
far grander than any other place on earth,
grander than the Alps or Himalayas, ami
there are no other hills as compared with it;
and I have noticed in every sect where the
crosßof Christ is set forth, it is planted with
olive branches. And all we have to do is
to get rid of this war between <4od and
ourselves, of which we are all tired.
We want to liack out of the war. we
want to get rid of this hostility. All we
have to do is just to get up on the mount of
God’s blessing, and pluck these olive
branches and wave them before the throne.
Peace through our Lord Jesus Christ.'
Oh, it don’t make much difference what
the world thinks of you—what this King,
that Queen, that Senator thinks of you. But.
come into the warm, intimate, glowing and
everlasting relationship with the God of the
round universe; that is the joy that makes a
hallelujah seem stupid. Ah. why do we want
to have peace through our Lord Jesus Christ?
Why, if w T e had gone on in ten thousand
years of war against God, we could
capture.l so much as a sword or cavalry stir,
nip, or twisted off one of the wheels of the
chariot of his omnipotence. But the moment
we bring this olive branch God and all heaven
oome on our side. Peaoo tlv ugh our Lord
Jesus Christ; and no other kind of peace is
worth anything.
But then we must have that other olive
branch, peace with man. Now it is very
easy to get up a quarrel. There are gun
powdeiy Christians all around us, and one
match of provocation will set them off. It
is easy enough to get up a quarrel. But, my
brother, don’t yem think you had better have
your horns sawed off? Had you not better
mane an apology? Had you not better sub
mit to a little humiliation? Oh, you say,
until that man takes the first step I will never
be at peace with him; nothing will bo
done until he is ready to take the
first step. You are a pretty Christian.
When would this world be saved if Christ
had not taken the first step? We were iu
the wrong, Christ was in the right—all right
and forever right. And yet He took the first
step. And instead of going and getting a
knotty scourge with which to whip your an
tagonist, your enemy, you had better get up
on the radiant mount where Christ suffered
for His enemies.and just take an olive branch,
not stripping off the soft, cool, fragratt
leaves, but leaving them all on, and then try
on them that gospel s dV*h. It won’t hurt
them, and it will save j Peace with God;
peace with man. If you cannot take those
two doctrines you are no Christian.
Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts la Christian love;
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above.
From sorrow, t*-ll and pain,
And 9in we shall b© free;
Aud perfect love and friendship reign
Through all eternity.
But my text goes further. It says: Go
up into the mountain mid fetch olive branches
aud nine branches. Now what is suggested
by the pine branches? The pine tree is
healthy; itisaromatic; it is evergreen. How
often the physician says to his invalid
patients: "Go aud have a breath of the
pines! That will in\ igorate you.” Why do
such thousands of people go South every year?
It is not merely to get to a warmer climate,
but to get to the ini! u nee of the pine. There
is health in it, and this piue branch of the
text suggests the faithfulness of our holy
religion; it is full of health, health for all,
health for the mind, health for the soul.
I knew an aged man, who had no capital
of physical health. He hod had all the dis
eases you could imagine; he did not eat
enough to keep a child alive; ho lived on a
beverage of hoaarxnas. He lived high, for
he dined every day with the King. He was
kept alivo simply by the force of our holy
religion. It is a healthy religion; healthy
for the eye, healthy for the hand, healthy
for the feet, healthy for the heart, healthy
for the liver, healthy for the spleen, healthy
for the whole man. It gives a man such peace,
such quietness, such independence of cir
cumstances, suqb holy equipoise. Oh that
we all'possessed it, that we possessed it now.
I mean that it is healthy if a man gets
enough of it. Now, there are some people
who get just enough religion to bother them
just enough religion to make them sick; but
if a man take a full, deep, round inhalation
of those pine branches of the gospel arbor,
he will find it buoyant, exuberant, undying’
immortal health.
But this pine branch of my text also sug
gests the simple fact that it is an evergreen.
What does this pine brunch care for the
snow on its brow? It is only a crown of
glory. The winter cannot freeze it out.
This evergreen tree branch is as beautiful in
winter as it is in the summer. And that is
the characteristic of our holy religion; in the
sharpest, coldest winter of misfortune and
disaster, it is as good a religion as it is in the
bright summer simshine. Well, now that is
a practical truth. For if I should go up and
down these aisles, I would not find in
this house fifty ]>eople who liad had no trou
ble. But there are some of you who have
especial trouble, (rod only knows what you
go through with. Oh, how many bereave
ments, how many poverties, how manv per-
MH’uUtmil How many luiaivprv.wnUitlons!
And now, my brother, you have tried every
thing els*', why don’t you try this evergreen
religion? It is just an good for you now as it
wa In Uu da) ol i 1 pi rit> it
tietter for you. J’erhuiw* Mirue of you feel
ilniost like Muokle I tickle, the fisher
man, who was chided one day l*'-
•anno ho kept on working, although
that verv day he buried his child They came
to him and said “It is Indarant for you to
Imi mending that boat when this aftamoon
you buried your child." And the fisherman
looked up and *aid "Sir, it in \ ery easy for
you gentlefolks to kUy in the house with your
handkerchief* to your eye* iu grinf, but, sir.
>ught I to let the other five children starve
because oue of them is drowned? No, sir, we
matin work, wa maun work, though our
heart* lieat like this hammer."
You may have lu*! .**> uuiuiutiou of vitro*
aud misfortune. They coma in flocks, they
come in herd* upon your soul; and yet I have
to tell you that this religion can console you,
that it can help you, that it can deliver you
if nothing else will Do you tell ino that the
riches and the gain of this world can console
yon? How was it with the man who had
smdi a fonduea* for motley that when he was
sick he ordered a basin oi gold pieces to 1m
brought to him, and he put his gouty hands
down among tho gold places, cooling
hi* hands off In them, nnd tho rattle and
rolling of these gold pieces were his amuse
ment and entertainment. Ah, the gold aud
silver, the honors, the emolument* of this
world are a jioor solace for a jiert urlicdspirit.
You want something lietter than this
world can give. A young Prince, when the
children come around to play w ith him, re
fused to play. He said: I will play only
with King* And it might be snppoeod that
Sou would throw away all other no lore before
iis regal satlsfation, this imperial joy. Ye
who are sows aud daughters of the l> rd Al
mighty ought to play only with Kings.
Tbo hill of Zion yields
A thousand sacred sweets,
Before we rvach tho heavenly fields
Or walk the golden streets.
But iny text takes a further step and it
says: “Go into the mountain, aud fetch olive
branches, aud pine branches, and palm
branches." Now, the jialin tree was very
much honored by the ancient*. It ha/1 throe
hundred and sixty different uses. The fruit
was conserved; tne sap was a leverage; the
stems were ground up for food for camels;
the Imre of the leaves was turned into hats,
nnd mats, and baskets; and the leaves were
carried in victorious processions; and from
the root to the ton of the highest leaf there
was usefulness. The troe grew eighty-five
feet in height sometimes, and it spread broad
leaves four and five yards long; it meant
usefulness, and it meant victor)’; usefulness
for what it produced, victory liecaose it was
brought into celebrations of triumph. And
oh, how much we want the palm branches in
the churches of Jesus Christ at this time!
A great many Christians don’t amount to
anything. You have to shove them out of
the way when the lord’s chariots come along.
We don’t want any more of tliat kind of
Christians in the church.
The old maxim says: “Do not put all your
eggs into one basketbut I have to tell you
in tills matter of religion you luul better glvo
your all to God, and then get in yourself
“Oh,” says someone, “my business is to sell
silks and cloths.” Well, then, iny brother,
sell silks and cloths to the glory of God. And
some oue says: “My business is to raise corn
and carrots." Then* my brother, raise corn
and carrot* to tho glory of God. And some
one says: “My business is to manufacture
horse shoe nails." Then manufacture horse
shoe nails to the glory of God. There is noth
ing for you to do that you ought to do but
for the glory of God.
Usofulness is typified by the palm tree. Ah,
we don’t want in the church any more peo
ple tliatare merely weeping pillows, sighing
into the water, standing and admiring their
long lashes in the glassy spring. No wild
cherry, dropping bitter fruit. We want palm
trees, holding something for God. something
for angels, something for man. I am tired
and sick of this fiat, tame, insipid, satin slip
pered, namby-pamby, highty-tighty religion!
It is worth nothing for this world, and it is
destruction for eternity.
Give me live hundred men aud women
fully consecrated to Christ, and we will take
any city for God in three years. Give me
ten thousand men and women fully up to the
Christian standard: in ten years ten thousand
of them would take the whole earth for God.
But when are we going to begin?
Ledyard, tho great traveler, was brought
before the Geographical Society of Great Brit
ain, and they wanted him to make some ex
plorations iu Africa, and they showed him all
tho perils, and all tho hard work, aud all
the exposure, and after they hud told him
what they wanted him to do in Africa, they
said to him: "Now, Ledyard, when are you
really- to start?’’ He said: “To-morrow
morning.” The learned men were aston
ished; they thought he would takeweoksor
months to get ready. Well, now. you tell
mo you want to lie earnest for Christ; you
want to bo useful in Christian service.
When are you going to begin? Oh, that you
have the aeeisioa to say: "To-day, now!”
Go now into the mount and gather tho
yalrn branches. But the palm
branch also meant a victory. In
all ages, in all lands, the palm branch means
victory. We are by nature the servants of
Satan. He stole us, he has his eye on us, he
wants to keep us. The word conies from our
Father that if we will try to break loose from
this doing of wroug, our Father will help us;
aud some (lay we rouse up, and we look the
black tyrant in the face, and we fly at him,
and we wrestle him down, and we put our
heel on his neck, and we grind him in the
dust, and we say, Victory, victory, through
our Lord Jesus Christ! Oh what a
grand thing it is to have sin under
foot and a wasted life behind
our backs. "Blessed is he whose trans
gression is forgiven, and whose sin is
covered." "But," says the man, "I feel
so sick and worn out w ith the ailments of
life.” You arc going to be more than
conqueror. "But,” says the man, “I
am so tempted, I am so pursued in
life." You are going to bo more than
conqueror. "I, who have so many ailments
and heartaches, going to be more than
conqueror?” Yes, unless you are so self-con
ceited that you want to manage all the
affairs of your life yourself, instead of
letting Goif manage them. Do you want
to drive and have God take a back seat?
Oh, no, you say; I wont God to be my leader.
Well, then, you will be more than conqueror.
Your last sickness will come, and the physi
cians in tho next room will he talking about
what ibey will do for you. What difference
will it make what they do for you? You are
going to be well, everlasingly well. And
when the spirit has fludthe body your friends
will be Sulking as to whole they shall bury
you. What differouce does it make to you
whore they bury you? The angel of
the rosurrectinu can pick you out
of the dust anywhere, and
all the cemeteries of tho earth are in (tod’s
care. Oh you are going to bo more than
conqueror. Don’t you think we had better
begin now to celebrate the coming victory?
In tho old meeting-house at Summerville,
my father used to lead the singing, and he
had the bid-fashioned tuning-fork, and he
would strike it upon his knee, and then put
the tuning-fork to his ear to catch the
right pitch and start the hymn. But,
friend, don’t you think wo had better
be catching the pitch of tho ever
lasting song, the song of vie.
tory when we shall bo more t han conquerors!
Had wo not better liegin tho rehearsal on
earth? "They shall liungor no more, neither
thirst any more; neither shall tho sun light
on them, nor any heat. For the lamb which
is in tiie midst of the throne shall feed them,
and shall load them to living fountains of
water: and God shall wipe away- all tear*
from their eyes.”
Clty of Eternity, to thy bridal halls
From this prison would 1 flee;
Ah, glory! that's for you and me.
My tort brings up one step further. It
say*, go forth into the mount and fetch olivu
branches, and pine branches, and inyrtlf
branches, and palm branches, and branches ol
thick trees. Now, you know very well that
a booth or arbor made of slight branch**
would not stand The first blast of the tenv
past wonki prostrate it. So then the booth
or arbor must have four stout poke to bold
up the aruor or booth and hence for th
building of the arbor for this world
we must have stout branches of thick trees
And so it is in the Gospel arbor. Blessed be
God that wo have a brawny Christianity
not one easily upset. The storms of life will
como upon us, and we want strong doctrine;
not only love, but justice; not onlv invita
tion by warning. It is a mighty Gospel; it is
an omnipotent Gospel. There ai*e the stout
branches of thick trees. I remem
ber what Mr. Finney said in a
school house in this State. The village
was so bad it was called Sodom, and it was
said to have only one good man in all the vil
lage, and he was called Lot; and Mr. Finney
preaching, described the destruction oi
bodom, and the preacher declared that God
would rain destruction upon llis hearers un
less they, too, repented. And the people in
the school-house sat and ground their teeth ir
anger, and clinched their fists in indignation;
Imt before he was through with his sermon
they got down on their knees and cried for
mercy while mercy could be found. Oh, it is a
might}' Gospel; not only an invitation, but a
warning; an omnipotent truth, stout
branches of thick trees. Well, my friends,
what I have shown you here is the olive
branch of peace, here is the pine branch of
evergreen gospel consolation, here the palm
tree branch of usefulness ami victory, and
here are the stout branches of thick trees,
Iho gospel nrlxir is doao. Thoair is aroma He
of heaven. Hie leaves rustle with the glad
ness of God. Come into the arbor, !

A WILDCAT’S AWFUL LEAP.
It Was to Heath, But Through No
Fault of the Animal'* Agility.
“I’ve seen it disputed in the j>a)H>rs
tlmt u wild out, or catamount, can moke
a leap of twenty-thru foot,” said u resi
dent of Snllivun county, X. V., “and I
would like to mention whut I saw a
wildcat do once. I was trout flailing on
one of the ui-iw-r tributaries of the
Dearerkil], mid liml clutidxirod down in
to u deep ravine to get nt n tempting
I><>ol lit the foot of u fall, where I was
sure my ousts would ho retarded by tho
killing of some big trout. I was not
mil token as to that, I had landed four
trout, the smallest one oight-'en inches
long, nnd sat down to ‘rest the pool.'
Doth sides of the ravine were perpen
dicular walls of rock, probably 25 feet
high. The summit of the wall on tho
’ ido of the creek opposite to me sloped
hack gradually irotn its edge for Several
feet to a heavy growth of pine.
“As I was sitting ut the b >ttom of tho
ravine [ happened to glance up to tho
top of the rocks oj p .site me, and saw a j
pheasant accompanied bv her newly
hatched bn .oil come out of the pine and
scratch anil peck her way along the
shilling open space, hunting food for her
young, which clustered closely alxmt
her. The pheasant came very close to
the edge of the precipice, aud it seemed
to me that she was p a ing her brood in
a most dangerous position, when she
turned us if to walk buck with them to
the pines. The instant she turned
something like a shadow flitted across
the top of the ravine, and half a second
later 1 saw n enormous wildcat cling
ing to the edge of the opposite wall by
his fore feet, holding the pheasant be
tween his jaws. The wildcat struggled
for a moment to drug himself from the
edge of tho abyss to a sure footing on
the top of the rocks, but his effort was
in vain, and ho came crashing down the
face of the precipice, still holding the
luckless pheasant ill his jaws. He fell
with a splash in the water, and lay mo
tionless at the edge of the pool,
“1 supposed thut the animal had lieen
watching the pheasant from the bushes
on t ip of the rocks opposite wheie the
bird hud appeared with her brood, and
at his opportunity had leaped acro.-s to
seize her, but had misjudged the dis
tance and fallen short, with the result so
fatal to him.
“The whirl of tho water brought the
wildcat around in a short time to the
side where I was standing, and as 1 was
bending down to examine him I saw a
man with a gun scrambling down the
rocks. The man soon reached my side,
nnd I then learned that lie had shot the
wildcat as the animal was flying across
the chasm upon his prey. Sure enough,
just at the 1 use of the animal’s brain was
the hole made by the rifle ball. The
hunter had beeu following the wildcat
for some time, and had lost track of him
but came near the edge of the rnaitio in
time to see him make his leap and fol
low him with the bullet. It was that
which had stopped the animal short in
the tremendous leap it had calculated
on, or it would have cleared the spuoe
with safety and doubtless with ease.
The wildcat was in reality almost in his
death throes when lie struck the pheas
ant, which he cluug to with tho clutch
of death, and still held in his mouth
w hen we dragged him out of the w ater.
We measured the width of the chasm
across which the wildcat had made his
death leap. The measurement was
forty-three feet.”—[Now York Suu.
The High Priest of Irish “Bulls.
Perhaps a few particulars about Sir
Boyle Roche, the high priest of Irish
“bulls, ” might be interesting to your
readers. He was of the ancient family
of the De La Russes, of Fennoy, was
member for Tralee from 1775, and xvas
created a baronet in 1782. Ho began
one i>f his speeches in the Irish House
of Commons, as follows: ‘ ‘Mr Speaker,
it is the duty of every true lover of liia
country to give his last guinea to save
the remainder of his fortunes.” “Sir,
misfortunes never come alone, and tho
greatest of all national calamities, is
generally followed by one much great
er.” A letter of his is still preserved,
supposed to have been written during
the rebellion of ’9B, though it is doubt
ful if lie ever put so many “bulls” to
gether on paper. It is as follows :
“Dear Sir: Having now a little peace
and quiet, I sit down to inform you of
the bustle anil confusion we are in from
tho bloodthirsty rebels, many of whom
are now, thunk God ! killed and dis
persed. We are in a pretty mess, can
got nothing to eat and no wine to drink,
except whiskey, When we sit down to
dinner we are obliged to keep both hands
armed. While I write this I have my
sword in one hand and my pistol in the
other. I concluded from the beginning
that this would be the end, aud lam
right, for it half over yet. At
present there are such goings on that
everything is at a standstill. I should
have answered your letter a fortnight
ago, but I only received it this morning.
Indeed, hardly a mail arrives safe
without being robbed. No longer ago
than yesterday, tlie mail coacli from
Dublin was robbed near this town; the
bags had 1 >een very judiciously left be
hind, and by great good luck there was
nobody in the coach but two outside
passengers, who had nothing for the
thieves to take. Last Thursday an alarm
was given that a gang of rebels in full
retreat from Drogheda were then ad
vancing under the French standard;but
they had no colors nor any drums ex
cept bagpipes. Immediataly every man
in the place, including women and
children, ran out to meet them. Wo
soon found our force a great deal too
little and were far too near to think of
retreating. Death was in every face,
and to it we went. By the time half
our party were killed, we began to bo all
alive. Fortunately the rebels had no
guns, except pistols, cutlasses and pikes,
and we had plenty of muskets and am
munition, We put them all to tho sword,
not a soul of them escaped, exec]it some
that were drowned in an adjoining bog.
I In fact, iu a short time nothing was
I heard but silence. Their uniforms were
| all different, "chiefly green. After the
action was over, we went to rummage
their camp. All we found was a few
pikes without heads, a parcel of empty
bottles filled with water, and a bundle
of blank French commissions, filled up
with Irish names. Troops are now sta
tioned round, which exactly squares
with my ideas of security. Adieu ! I
have only time to add that I am yours
in great haste. “B. R.

London Spectator.
Says the Philadelphia Inquirer: “It
is not generally known that Dr. Cronin,
the victim of the murder which is now
agitating two continents, was once a
resident of the town of Clearfield, Fa.,
and that he Ims many mourners there.
In 1867 the doctor, then a young man of
twenty-two, was employed ns a clerk in
a largo Clearfield store. Cronin was
then of distinguished presence, with a
tenor voice that was the envy of every
Clearfield singer, and he soon becamo n
general favorite in the town. A year or
two thereafter he started for the West,
stopping at St. Louis, where lie studied
medicine. Not much was heard of him
for a number of years, until marked
copies of the Celtie-American, which ho
published, wore received by several of

The German Lieutenant is the German
dude. lie has few characteristics, how
ever, in common with the American dude,
lie is intelligent and manly. He wears
no ultra-faauj,ouablu attire, and talks no
ultra-foreign jargon. He has no yellow
top coats, nor wide trousers,nor pot hats,
nor jiatcnt leather shoes, nor big-headed
cane. But there is a red stripe on each
of his trousers legs, a big imperial eagle
on his helmet, red straps on his heavy
ulster, spurs on his boots and at his side
a sword in a massive scabbard, which
strikes the pavement at every step. He
often wears a monocle, and always a
moustache.
A Lieutenant's moustache is probably
the most carefully trained bit of whiskers
in the world. Its proper development
involves more labor than the combined
moustaches of any three dudes in the
whole United States. Three times every
week the Lieutenant's barber devotes half
sn hour or longer to oiling it, twisting it,
patting it and burning it into shape with
not irons. When the Lieutenant is
shaved the ends of the moustache are
done up in tissue paper, so that the lather
brush and the bin oar’s fingers cannot
muss it. Avery fastidious Lieutenant
puts a little flat w ooden clamp on each end
of his moustache every night when he
goes to bed, to keep the hairs straight
and even. The result of all this training
is a moustache which all German girls
dream about, and all German men, out-,
side of the army, ridicule. The hairs are
stiff, crinkled and spread nwav from the
corners of the mouth in a fan shape.
They shine with oil and are odorous of
perfume. The Lieutenant has his hair
oiled daily, curled in front frequently and
rubbed down with German elixirs of all
colors, odors and effects.
After the Lieutenant has been refreshed
by his barber from the fatigue of early
morning drill, he goes to the most popular
cafe to show the poor humdrum chaps
without swords or spurs or trained mous
taches or curled front hair what a mighty
fine fellow a Lieutenant of the Guards is.
As soon as he enters the cafe his favorite
waiter begins all sorts of feats of acro
batic politeness. He bows himself double
whenever the Lieutenant turns a hair.
He scurries around like mad after the
military periodicals, and shouts himself
hoarse in ordering for the Herr Lieuten
ant the very best caviar, the freshest rolls,
and the strongest coffee which the cafe
affords. He never addresses the Lieu
tenant directly as “you.” That would
be too disrespectful to a real Lieutenant,
though it is good enough for men in bob
tail coats and trousers without stripes.
No, the waiter always asks: “Will the
Herr Lieutenant kindly have sugar in his
coffee?” “Will the Herr Lieutenant have -
a 2-cent beer or beer?” “Will
the Herr Lieutenant have a fine domestic
cigar for 3 cents, or a superfine imported
cigar for 4 cents?” All this servility
costs the Lieutenant a cent. It would
cost an American double that amount. A
German civilian would have hard work
to get it at any price. A Frenchman
could not get it at all.
After coffee the Lieutenant takes two
little brushes from a case in his pocket
and brashes his moustache. Then he
goes out to give the girls a treat. In
Berlin he exhibits himself on Unter den
Linden; in Leipsic, on the Promenade;
in Dresden, on the Bruhl Terrace. He
marches along in the middle of the walk,
as erect and conscious as if he were on
dress parade. He turns neither to the
right nor left, save for an officer of
higher rank. Civilians make way for
him, for he is a bad man to bump
against. He is keen to resent any inciv
ility, and the man who shoves him
rudely or gets on his toes, is apt to bring
up opposite him with swords or pistols I
the next morning in the Grunewald or
Rosenthal. The Lieutenant on this
stieet parade, however, is not so busy ad
miring himself that he has no time to ad
mire all the girls, who admire him. He
ogles every pretty woman through his
monocle.
At dinner in a restaurant the Lieuten
ant always gets the prettiest waitress, her
nicest smiles, the fattest bit of roast
goose, and the biggest piece of cheese.
He is admitted to the theatre for almost
nothing, and attracts more attention
there than the ricli banker who has a pro
scenium box all to himself. Between
the acts lie brushes his moustache before
the whole house and flirts with the pret
tiest girl whose Frau mamma isn't look
ing or whose Herr papa has gone out to
see a man. He knows all the soubrettes.
His card is attached almost every evening
to a bouquet that is handed over the
footlights. He leads at all the dances.
His red and blue coat attracts more fa
vors than a dozen swallowtails. In the
damentour he is the first man on the
floor. In fact his social domination is so
complete that of late years disgruntled
critics of German high life usually speak
of it as a “Lieutenant-beridden society.”
The Lieutenant’s social success is not
due entirely, however, to his fine clothes,
perfected moustache, curled front hair,
and good dancing. The German Lieu
tenant is generally a nobleman and a gen
tleman . He is always well educated and
well informed concerning topics of the
day. Long after entering the army, he
frequently subscribes to university lecture
courses, and appears in the lecture room
regularly with his little leather bag full
of notes, just as if he were an ordinary
student. He reads a great deal about
civil government, political economy, Bis
marck and the Hohenzollerns. He can
say his Goethe backward, and can cite
Shakespeare more appropriately than
three-fourths of the Englishmen. He can
quote Heine with the Professor’s pretty
daughter, or Roscher and Ilau with the
Professor himself. He is cleverly ven
turesome, too, and, though he may not
know the difference between knowledge
and belief, he docs not avoid bouts with
old metaphysicians concerning the theo
ries of Kant, Hegel and Schopenhauer.
He is so superficially omniscient and auda
cious, that his presence at a reception al
ways ensures someone a good time. The
criterion of the success of a German party
is consequently the number of Lieuten
ants present.
Notwithstanding all his attractions for
Frau mammas and Fraulein daughters,
the Lieutenant usually terminates his
triumphant social career by marrying a
very plain woman. This is the reason:
The Lieutenant’s life is an expensive one,
ns life in Germany goes. Three-eent
cigars, wine and flowers, and actresses,
social obligations, and an occasional
hand at card play ducks and drakes with
his salary, which is little more than one
third the salary of an American Lieu
tenant. If he has no private fortune he
makes debts at every turn. These debts
are piled up year after year. “An angel
flies through the room and a Lieutenant
pays his debts,” is a German proverb.
The German Government has had a life
long experience with the young Lieu
tenant, and knows a thing or two about
his expensive habits. It has therefore
forbidden him to marry unless he or his
Intended wife has money enough to sup
port the family. When a Lieutenant’>
debt* have become mountain high and
troublesome, he begins to scurry around
after a rich marriageable woman. Money
is the one sine qua non of his choice. A
woman may be plain, stupid, erratic
within limits, or Americun; yet if site
has money enough to put the Lieutenant
square with the world after he has had
his fling, ho jumps at the chance to
murry her.— Jfem York Sun.
A Spanish Hull Fight
We arrived at Madrid on time for i
bull-fight, writes Mrs. Bherwood in the.
New York World. The first sight of the
crowded circus, the grand Coliseum,
tho thousands of spectators, the music,
the flags, is all very inspiring. The
entrance of two cavaliers on horseback
w ith their hats and collars ala VelasqiM*
is extremely pretty. They ride round
the ring, and cryiug to the Governor,
they demand of him the key to the cell
where the bull is kept. This is sent
down by a personage iu gaudy attire.
Then the trumpets arc sounded, and
the picadores, mutadores utul torrendors
enter, two and two, in their beautiful
dresses—one of the most picturesque
groups possible. Then come the mules,
gayly caprisoned, who are to drag out
the bull 9 and dead horses. The pica
dores, on their sorry steeds, not unlike
Hosinante, arc then placed at intervals
along the sides, while the men ad
vance with a moreturi te salutaut air
and bow to the Governor. It is all very
gladiatorial, very pretty, quite touching.
Then the trumpet* sound and the gentle
man with the key advances to the cell
from which have beeu issuing ominous
groans and bellowings. The door is
opened; the men jump over the wall.
The bull enters.
A magnificent creature, fresh from
Andalusian pastures, and his surprise as
he stopped and looked around was most
innocent and touching, and babylike.
My heart was for him from the first.
Then the matadores began to frighten
and enrage him by throwing their red
shawls at liim and putting arrows iu lus
back. Then the cruel sport of sending
the picadores at him. He disemboweled
the poor horses; we saw three left dead
on the sand. Finally the Grand Tor
reador arrived, and we saw him really
perform some acts of desperate courage
with the crazy, enraged animal, whom
he kills with his sword. By this time
we were too sick and faint to move, but
the populace was in raptures, ladies
threw their handkerchiefs to the hand
some torreador, who wrapped himself in
his cloak and smoked a cigarette. Then
the mules came in and dragged out the
dead horses and the poor dead bull.
Then the doors opened again, and a
bull so beautiful that he might be he
who carried off Europa—a mouse-colored
bull, perfectly full of anger and fight—
was led into the arena. He was destined
to be killed by Frascuelo, the darling of
Madrid, the prize bull-fighter, the man
who makes $60,000 a year. We did not
stay to see this; we were dragged out,
almost as ignominiously as the poor dead
horses and bull, and some of us have
been ill ever since. But if you come to
Spain to see the people, the institutions,
the local color, you must see a bull
fight—a horrible, brutal, cowardly busi
ness; a wretched degradation of hu
manity, but throwing a light on the
poverty, the cruelty and the lack of
civilization of a peoople who should
stand at the head of European civiliza
tion, but who stand at the very foot of it,
so far as the lower classes are concerned.
I am very glad I shall never see an
other.
Breaking Stones on a Man's Head.
There is a live novelty in an uptown
dime museum that is attracting general
attention. This “drawing card” is a
man who glories in the exclusive posses
sion of the power to let immense cobble
stones be broken on his head. The cus
tomary grain of salt docs not accompany
this museum statement. The man is as
large as life and as plain to the sight as
day—if the established admission fee is
paid. While doing his “act” he wears a
large but frailly constructed helmet of
iron. This is a sixteenth of an inch in
thickness and is placed over his head, the
base or lowest extremity resting on his
shoulders. There is an opening for the
eyes and nose. On the top is a square
groove in which an ordinary cobble stone
is placed. Then one of the audience is
requested to break the stone. A com
mon, large sized sledge hammer is used
in the w-ork of destruetien. The object
of the helmet is to offet the effect of any
blow that might miscarry and land about
the face or shoulders. The man shows
twelve times a day, twelve new and per
fectly constructed stones being used.
There is no “fake” about the hammer,
the stones or the destroying blows. The
enemy to the cobble told a reporter for
the New York Mail and Express that he
first discovered that it was impossible to
break his skull when, on shipboard, he
fell from aloft to the deck, a distance of
110 feet. He landed, according to his
story, flat on the top of his head, and got
up smiling. This fall was the means of
putting him into any easy livelihood, he
says, and he has become so accustomed
to cobbles that he actually believes the
biggest steam pile driver of the land
would have a large contract on hand if it
attempted to smash his upper quarters.
The Humble German Soldier.
We saw recently a little squad dawd
ling along in their uniforms through the
heat, the most ambitionless, hot,weary or
lazy souls, dragging one foot after the
other as if a cannon ball were attached to
each, writes a Berlin correspondent.
“Poor fellows,” we thought, “how plainly
every line about them tells the oppression
and misery of the whole brutal system!”
When all at once, to our amazement, they
stiffened up like ramrods, flung one leg
out in front at an angle of forty-five de
grees with force enough to kick down a
rampart, and then brought the heel of
the ironclad member down upon the
pavement like a blacksmith's hammer,
the sparks flying in all directions. We
looked on in amazement, wondering what
had happened to them, when in the dis
tance appeared a diminutive corporal,
the occasion of the whole excitement.
The same awe of their superiors runs
through the entire German army. A com
mon soldier having his boots blacked
will instantly stand aside, before the
operation is completed, as a corporal
steps up. He in turn gives place to an
officer, and in a few minutes three of
these accommodating individuals are
standing in a row, bolt upright, with
their trousers turned up, and each one
with a boot blacked. When the fourth
has been served he passes along with
dignity, and each of the other three takes
his turn in regular order until the com
mon soldier is finally reached.
Cultivation of the Sweet Cassava.
It is predicted that the cultivation ol
the sweet cassava, from which is made
starch, glucose and tapioca, will at no
very distant date become one of the im
portant industries of Florida. If all that
is claimed by those who advocate its in.
troductiou be true, it is one of the most
productive, easily cultivated, and remu
uarative of crops, and its cultivation will
add much to the resources of the Stale.
It is excellent for feeding stock, and it is
also valuable; as an addition to the list of
human food.

I wish for the benefit of many women
who are desirous of supporting them

families, to dti th*m to an employ moot
by tlie aid of which many women mak#
money, and do it independently aud easy,
aays an Atlanta lady in the Sunny South.
In this avocation I know women who liava
| regained lost health, and nt the same tiiua
made money in abundance. Indeed, I
know women who make as much as fif
teen hundred dollars per annum, and do
no work during the winter, in what (
conceive to be the most enobling, profit
able and pleasant of nil businesses —that
of keeping bees—scientifically. Aud
what more jileusaiit place is there thun a
well kept apiary where the hum of the
ever industrious workers iimko music iu
their flight, nnd where vines aud flowers
lend uii enchantment to the scene?
Every lady who has a rod of ground
should have an apiary, and more espe
cially those who live in the suburbs of
cities, in villages and in the country,
where blooming flowers constantly exude
their sweetness which would be otherwise
lost except for the industry of these pets.
What is more fascinating than producing
comb honey in all its purity and white
ness in one pound sections for home use
or sale at home or abroad, or in rearing
Italian queens for the market where there
is a con/,taut demand at prices ranging
from $2 to 4i> each?
A colony of bees will give twenty-five
queen cells weekly, which can be hatched
in little hives having frames 4x5 inches.
A queen will lay two thousand eggs daily,
from each of which a queen can be reared
in twenty-one days, aud if we have
enough little hives we can rear hundred*
of queens. As is said in Root's standard
work on bee 9: “One hundred of these
little hives will give us ten laying queens
each day,” from April to September. Iu
honey one thousand pounds per colony
has been reached.
What business is more beautiful than
this which as lias been truthfully said is
“the poetry of labor?’’ Ladies who will
start with Italian bees and in a proper
manner will reap success, and to all who
wish to embark in this and will write me
enclosing a stamp for reply, I will cheer

LATEST STYLES OF DRESSING THE HAIR.
The coiffure is at present in that de
lightful state of transition which forbids
the making of arbitrary laws and allow 7 !
a woman to dress her hair high or low,
according to her caprice. The one thing
requisite to stylish hair dressing is that
the hair shall be loose and fluffy. The
wise women barber up town with the
wicked eyes and the winning dimples,
says that about one woman in one hun
dred has the kind of hair that by careful
washing will possess the requisite fiuffy
ness, and that that one woman never
likes it. Tlie effect is usually produced
with curling irons and with artificial ad
ditions of curly hair. The coils of braids
so frequently seen below round hats, on
the street are very often put on and taken
off with the hats, for they are really be
coming to few faces and more suitable for
the street than for more dressy occasions,
and ladies prefer to dress their hair high
when it ls becoming and pin on the braids
at need.
The tw 7 o extremes of styles are the Em
pire coiffure and the catogan braid. The
latter style is a simple loose plait looped
low in the neck and fastened with a rib
bon or a single long pin of gold or silver.
The Empire headdress is mostly used
with evening gowns, and has three prom
inent features—curls, bunch of ribbon
and flowers. Tlie hair is combed very
high up on the head, and twisted in a
small knot to be completely covered with
short, soft curls falling toward the fore
head and also toward the back. One
long curl is combed out and covers the
back of the head with waves, until a lit
tle way above the neck it twists into a
curl again. Flowers are to be very much
worn with this coiffure, and fillets of
gold aud silver, diadems of precious
stones, or a bunch of ribbon will be also
used on dressy occasions. Ultra-fashion
able women adopt a style of headdress in
which the hair is worn very high. The
front tresses are parted in tho centre to
form two crimped bandeaux, over which
rests the Watteau wreath, encircling the
cluster of loops of hair arranged on top
of the head.
There are some prophecies concerning
the abandonment of bangs, but their de
cline will be slow, as few faces are so per
fect in outline as to dispense with them.
Since Mrs. Cleveland has lost the prestige
of her high place the style of tossing the
bangs up in front in a puff has been los
ing favor and is rarely seen. The short
pointed or rather square bang are most in
favor loosely curled, and for youthful
faces the light fringe of hair upon the
forehead, the rest of the wavy mass being
combed straight back, is very popular.
Now that the pretty Hading has sailed
away, leaving only a delicious memory of
grace and loveliness, the style of coiffure
she inaugurated has fallen into desuetude.
This consisted in combing the loose hair
over the tips of the ears and twisting it
in a loose knot at the back. A woman
with small, pretty ears could never be
prevailed upon to hide them, and the
size of large or prominent ears was em
phasized and rendered yet more noticea
ble by that style of headdress. One of
the most effective and pleasing arrange
ments now worn is that which is neither
high nor low, but covers the back of the
head with loose, soft coils and folds
reaching from the crown of the head to
the neck, a style affected by Mrs. James
G. Blaine, Jr., and Miss Otis, the pretty
society star actress.
Young girls will return to the old-time
popular fashion of leaving the hair loose
and flowing, tied back from the face with
a simple ribbon and ornamented with a
simple flower, which accords well with
the picturesque and juvenile style of
dressing now in vogue. All the styles
seem to be based on Grecian ideals and
picturesque models, and perhaps the
greatest boon to womankind that the
change will bring about is that the stylish
“flufiiness” can only be effected in hair
that is frequently washed. and a general
cleanliness will prevail for a time. —flew

Tho print',pal of this rcliool having

The Sanitation of Dwellings.
Professor Fava, in a lecture at Wash
ington, deduced the following as a few
simple principles: Dry walls are requi
sites for liealtn, dump walls are causes
of disease. A wall is dry when it lias
ventilation on botli sides and air in tlie
very middle of its brick aud mortar.
Porous substauoes are necessary to se
cure gyod wall vent.lation. A dry wall
allows uir to pass through, thus foster
ing the ohange of atmosphere iu the
room. Damp walls prevent this pas
sage. A house should never be occu
pied before its walls aro satisfactorily
drv. A house occupied against this
rule is, on account of the humidity
created in it by tho inhabitants, pre
vented forever from diving. Walls built
on a dry foundation aud exposed to tlie
motion of tho an v, ill dry, according to
the months of wind or quiet, more or
less rapidly, on an average, iu three or
four months after plastering. Internal
heat, produced by stoves, flies, gas, etc.,
causes motion of the air. Appliances
for producing heat with their pipes and
flues are therefore good ventilators.
Porous walls evaporate greatly from tlie
external surface, where they are con
stantly swept by air in motion, while
walls made of impervious material can
not let out the humidity deposited on
their inner surface. If walls are suffi
ciently dry before the house is inhabit
ed the humidity of tho atmosphere of
the rooms is never sufficient to saturate
them thoroughly, and a comparative
dryness of tlie dwelling is insured in all
cases, maintaining a healthful atmos
phere therein. Chimneys, doors and
windows are good ventilators, and tho
best ventilator in tlie house is tlie hall.
It is therefore a mistake to make halls
so narrow that two people can hardly
pass at the same time, except when tlie
narrowness of tlie building lot does not
allow otherwise.
A Long-Lived Turk.
Those who are anxious to remain in
the flesh beyond the ordinary duration of
this mortal life will be interested in the
habits of the old Turk, who recently
died at Haddatha, aged 130 years. Old
Hadji Soiiman Saba had seven wives, all
of whom died before him, he was the
father of sixt? sons and nine daughters,
who have also gone the way of all flesh,
and the year before his death he wus
thinking of marrying again, but could
not obtain the necessary funds to buy a
bride. Saba was a farmer unto his life’s
end; his diet consisted mainly of barley
bread, beans and water, nnd only twice a
year in high festivals, did he eat meat.
His clothes were even more simple thin
his diet, consisting of a shirt only, and
w hen he traveled, a pair of trousers. His
bed was a mattress and straw mat, and ii
had never been a “bed of sickness” till
three days before his death.
At Last.
One of the oldest engineering schemes
projected in the world is now gradu
ally approaching completion, and the
work will, in all probability, lie finished
during the present year. This is the
canal through the Isthmus of Corinth, in
Greece. Work was actually begun on
the canal under the Emperor Nero, so
that over seventeen hundred years will
have passed between its beginning and
its final completion. As finally exca
vated, the canal will be four miles long,
with a depth of eight metres, or sufficient
for the largest vessels which usually nav
igate the adjacent seas.
Value of Silk Worms.
The value of silk-worm cocoons grown
in the world annually is enormous. The
last great estimate of the world’s silk
product it was calculated that it reached
the grand total of 07,000,000 lbs., which,
at an average value of about 10s. per
pound, realized over fifty-three and a
half millions sterling. China contributed
28,000,000 lbs., value over eighteen and
a half millions; Japan to the value of
£3,400,000; India, £7,000,000; Italy,
£12,000,000, and France, £6,200,000.
