GERMAN MILITARY SERVICE.
A Cortona Method by Which It May

Anybody can emigrate from Germany
before be is 17 years old without run¬
ning the risk, in case be should
of being forced to join the army, but be
will be allowed to remain only nine
months in Germany If he stays longer
he becomes again a German citizen and
must do military service. If he leaves
when he has been a little less than nine
months in tbe country and Stays awny
for two or three weeks he can return
without running any danger and can
stay another nine months. If he does
this every nino months he can live as
long as he likes in Germany.
As soon as a man is 17 years old he
cannot leave Germany without serving
in the army. He can. however, get per¬
mission to leave the country until he is
20 years old if somebody is willing to
give bond that he will return and serve
his term.
In case a man forfeits his bond he
cannot return to his fatherland before
he is 45 years old. as be would be
promptly arrested and sentenced to
serve a longer term than the original
one. After a man ia 45 years old he can
go back to Germany without being pun

So hard is food frozen in Siberia dnr

Fish caught through holes in the ice

Helen IrTist'* Trasle Death.
The tragic story of the beautiful and
( talented Scottish woman, Helen Irving,
j | 8 not, perhaps, well known, although
i it has been celebrated in song. She had
been for some time courted by two gen
tlemen whose names were Bell and
Fleeming. Bell told the girl that if he
ever found her in Fleeming’s company
he would kill him. She. however, had a
strong regard for Fleeming. and one
day. while walking along the romantic
banks of the Kirtle, she observed his
rival on tbe other side of the river
among the bushes.
Conscious of the danger her lover
was in. she passed between him and his
enemy, who. firing, shot her dead.
Fleeming crossed the river and killed
the coward. A heap of stones was raised
on tbe plac« where the brave woman
fell and she was buried in the near
churchyard. Fleeming. overwhelmed
with love and grief, went abroad, but
soon returned and. stretching himself
onher grave, expired. He was buried
by her side.
A Lucky Halrdrcnscr.
The old saying that a man may be a
hero to every one but hie valet is called
to mind by an article in The Illustrated
London News on "Famous Masters of
the Tonsorial Art. '* in which stories are
told of Duplan. the hairdresser to Napo
leon. This astute man made himself so
indispensable to the unfortunate Jose
phine and became so intimately ac
quainted with the emperor’s affairs that
he was retained in the service of the
imperial family when Josephine was
superseded by Marie Louise. He cared
for the hair of both the emperor and
empress, being paid 4.000 francs a year
for service to the former and 6.000 for
arranging the coiffures of the latter.
Ultimately he was the recipient bi.de£ands of
about 40.000 francs, year.

Napoleon b restriction in refusing to al¬
low the tonsorial artist to treat the hair
of any other customer.

The average distance of discovery of
a torpedo boat by the aearchlight from
# batt i eg j,ip has been calculated to be
781 yards and the greatest distance
8,000 yards Thus, taking the distance
at which the torpedo can be tired with
effect at 500 yards it will be generally
found that a torpedo boat will have to
cross about 800 yards under fire from
the ship she is attacking, and it will
take the little craft about half aininuta
to do this.

WilUam Lightfoot Visscher in The
Woman’s Home Companion tells this |
characteristic story of the Hon. Isaac
Parker, famous as the texrible judge at
Fort Smith. Ark., who probably sen
tenced more men to be executed than
®uy other judge that ever lived. This
’ unrelentingly^ was not, however, because but because he was lie so
severe,
had the hardest and most numerous lot
i of criminals to deal with that ever
came within the jurisdiction of such
an official. One day when there was un
unusually large butch of culprits to be
sentenced the judge looked compassion
ately over his spectacles at one young
acamp and said:
“In consideration of the youth and
inexperience of this prisoner I shall let
him off with a fine of $50”—
Before the judge had done speaking
the very fresh young man coolly stretch
ed his right leg and ran his hand into
his trousers’ pocket on the side, remark
ing nonchalantly as he did so:
“That's all hunky, judge. I've got
that much right here in my jeans. “
j “And one year in the penitentiary,*’
continued the judge. Then, looking over
at the convict in a quizzical sort of
way. he added. “Do yon happen to have
, i that in your jeans?”
