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 ished and live there as long as he likea In ca9 ® a defte / t ^ »* caught in Ger be,or « he u 46 y® ats old he ia 8en ‘ two or three years' imprison ment in a fortress and all his personal Pf°P®rty is confiscated. - New York Herald.

So hard is food frozen in Siberia dnr ing the winter that carcasses of sheep can only be divided by ax and saw. Fish caught through holes in the ice freeze while they jump. Eggs are as hard as flints. I have carried them in a sack over my hoise’s back.

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