Old German Wash Lists.
The old German housewife had a
strange way of keeping track of the
clothes she gave out to he. washed. It
was nothing less than a pictorial and
perpetual wash list. There was no
possibility of making suck. error as
to mistake the abbreviation Sh. fo*.
shirts or St. for stockings. She had
pictures of each article and . simply
wrote down the number of each thing
opposite its picture with a piece of
chalk, which wat erased when the
thing was returned and used again on
the following week.—Cleveland Leader.
May a Woman Tell Her Love? .
It is true it is unconventional for a
woman to tell a man that she loves him
unless the man has persuaded her to
make such confession. Bnt is there any
good reason why *a woman should not
take the initiative? Is she any le&s a
woman for doing so? A shy and timid
man may not know how to tell a wom
an that he loves her. Should the worn-
an, who is of firmer faith and strongez
mind, stand halting and waiting for a
confession that may never come ? Why
shonld she suffer in silence? By sc do
ing may she not lose the man who loves
her and also the happiness of a lifetime
an well?—New York World.
An Incident That' Happened In the
Franco-PrnsNian War.
It Is a peculiar circumstance that
hardened and trained troops will go
through a tong fight surrounded by all
the horrors that are inseparable from
war without flinching and with the ut
most apparent callousness, and the
same men will be struck terrified by a
single trifling incident.
Every war of any importance, partic
ularly wars between civilized nations,
Is prolific in Incidents of trivial charac
ter in themselves, but so unusual and
unnatural that they appeal to the nat
ural instinctive horror of men more
suddehly and intensely than perhaps
the main terrors of days of carnage
and surrounding scenes of suffering.
Such an incident. Is the one, for exam
ple, which occurred at the battle of
Worth In the early days of the Franco-
Prussian war.
In the heat of the great battle a wing
of the Prussian army was charged by
the regiments of French cuirassiers in
the hope of turning the wing and facil
itating the falling back of the French
infantry- But the cuirassiers were
driven back by the unflinching Prus
sians. Again the cuirassiers charged,
and again they were driven back by
the withering fire of shot and shell.'
For a third time they Came down
again, .and as the enemy waited for
them to draw' nearer a horrible, blood
freezing terror seized the Prussians,
and for a moment it looked as if they
would turn and fly or be cut down
without defending themselves. But in
a moment they had pulled themselves
together and beaten back for the third
and last time the gallant cuirassiers.
The sight that terrified the Prussians
appears nothing very much in black
and white. It was a regiment of cuiras
siers led at a dashing rate toward them
by a headless officer sitting upright in
his saddle and apparently encouraging
his men after having been decapitated
by a cannon ball.—Cincinnati Enquir-

THE
NAPOLEON AT ST. HELENA,
Gainesville, Georgia
Bli Indignation Ht Being Spied Upon
by Hie Keepers.
One of the “Talks With Napoleon”
quoted from Dr. O’Meara’s diary in
The Century records Napoleon’s indig
nation at being, as he considered it,
spied upon while liyingf at St. Helena.
“I understand,” said he,* “that an
officer Is placed here to report about
me and to see me two or three times
in the 24 hours and that they are talk
ing of making him go into my chamber
to see me if I did not come out. Any
person,” said he then, with considera-,
ble agitation, “who endeavors to force
his way into my apartment will be &
corpse the moment he enters it. If he
ever eats bread or meat afterward, I
am hot Napoleon. This 1 am deter
mined on.
“I know that I .Will be killed after
ward, as what can one do against a
camp? But what of that? I have
faced death many a time. Besides 1
am convinced that this governor, this
chief of jailers, has been sent out on
purpose to poison me or put me tc
death some way or another or under
some pretext by Lord Castlereagh.:
“I have seen,” continued he, “Rus
sians, Prussians, Arabs, Cossacks,
Tartars, Spaniards, Persians, Turks”,
(here he enumerated a great many
more), “and never in my life before
did I behold so ill favored and forbid
ding “a countenance or so down and
horrid a look. He carries crime , im
printed on his countenance. (II ports
le crime empreint sur son visage.) He
is a man, to judge from his physiogno
my, that one would select for the
committal of any atrocious crime and
as such has been selected out by your
ministers, I suppose, on purpose to
make away with me.”

A Question In History.
Some strangers, apparently balling
from the far west, were looking at the
statue of Robert Fulton, the inventor
of the steamboat Said one of them:
“So this is'the man who got up the
steamboat, eh? Well, it only goes to
show how a feller can be mistaken.
Now, out In Punkin Ridge we always
thought Si Jones fixed up the first
steamboat ever run, in the year 1876.
The whole county was out to see the
Nancy Ann pass the Ridge, and every
body about there said as how Si had
surely made himself famous by buildin
the first boat ever known to run.”—
