D.niillci In Iho German Army.
Referring to the recent order of the
German emperor with regard to the
dandyfied irregularities which had be
come common in the Gorman army , u
correspondent at Berlin calls our atten
tion to the fact that the kaiser himself
is not altogether free from affectation' of
tlis | kind , inasmuch us ho himself sots
the fashion of "bangle" wearing. In
most of the many portraits of the kaiser
Iho bangle is brought into special promi
nence by the position of the arm. But
though addicted to the bangle , ho never
condescended to the earring , which
formerly was very commonly worn
among his otllcors.
In the tlmo of Frederick William II. ,
when the Gorman army was resting on
the laurels of the great Frederick , dan
dies nourished in great numbers among
the otlicors , in spite of eovoro olllcial
condemnations of foppory. The mon
strosities nnd extravagances differed but
slightly from those of today sharp-
pointed toes , ridiculously high colors
nnd short overcoats without beams.
Latter-day exquisites have also adopted
the plan of crowding on the linger as
many rings as possible ho who can
carry the largest number on the ring
lingers and at the same time bond his
finger bolng considered to Imvo the

"A SINGHJLAR ILLUSION.
A Good Story Which Wm Told by a Louln-
villo Minister.
That was a good story which Rov. C.
J. K. Jones of Louisville told in a Bos
ton pulpit the other day , says the Jour
nal. Ho said :
"An arlarmlst always reminds mo of a
friend of mine who was a commander nt
the battle of Round mountain. It was a
hot light ono of the hottest of the war.
At a particularly intense part of the ac
tion my friend stood beside his horse
scanning the field with his glass und ill
reeling the troops. Ho told mo it
seemed as if the fire of the whole con
federacy was centered on him , the bul
lets Hying thick around him.
"Suddenly , ho felt a inlnio ball singing
in the air and ho felt something strike
his log. But the occasion was urgent
and ho kept up his glass. Tlioro was
another 'pin-z-z , ' and ho felt another
strike. And so it continued.
"Tho captain at lust lifted up his hand
and prayed : 'Oh Lord , I can go homo to
my wife and children without either of
my legs , but , oh , Lord , lot mo get homo. '
"Finally there cams the shouts of
victory. The battle was won. With a long
drawn osigh the cuptian turned. Ho
shouted to his orderly at a little dis
tance ; 'I'm wounded , Jim. Come and
help mo on my horse ; I must go homo.
It's my last battle. '
" 'No , I guess , ' replied the orderly.
" 'What's the matter ? Come , hurry
up , I'm wounded. '
* ' 'If you want mo to help you , come
here , ' sa'ng out the orderly.
" 'But what's the trouble ? Why can't
you come hero'Don't ' you see I'm
wounded nnd almost dying1
" 'Oh , no , you are not , ' gang out the
orderly again.
" 'Come hero instantly , you rascal1 !
shouted the commander.
" 'No , I don't ' ; that's the biggest nest
of yellow jackets there I over saw in my
life,1 was the final laughing reply of the
orderly.
"Tho storming swarm of hornets
were the only minie balls that had
struck him. "
INGEBSOLL TAKEN DOWN.
Klmon Cameron Wna Upsat with the
Thougl'tn of Klocjuent Atheiftin.
The mention of Colonel Bob Ingor-
soil's name" recalls a tombing story of
Washington life. Ono cheerless , rainy
night , avs the Chicago Record , the ven
erable Simon.Cumeron was sitting in the
otllce of thoIKbbltt house , gazing out
through the window into iho fog and
darkness. Ho was lost in thought und
liis face was thb picture of melancholy.
Presently Colonel Ingernoll entered.
"What has ! happened , general ? " ho
asked. "You look as if you'd just lost
your last frloifd.1
"Ah Bob"fcnid the old with
, , man , a
sigh , "I have just been a cruel , pitiable
sight. An aged and crippled soldier
was painfully climbing up the street
yonder and was making some progress ,
when ulonf , * came u big double-listed ,
bread-shouldered fellow und kicked the
crutches out from under the old cripple ,
leaving him feeble and helpless , to pick
himself up as best ho could. "
D "I would to God I had boon bore ! "
cried Ingorsoll angrily , "I'd have

COLUMBIAN BOOK MARKS.
Useful nnd anility Sotivcnlrn of the Qniulrl-
Centennial.
Hero Is a nrotty little fancy and really
'
novel one a historical bookmarker , say's
the Now York Herald. To any one seek
ing a unique gift for n friend it is quite
worthy of attention , and it has the de
cided uncommon merit that it may be
just as costly or inexpensive as' one
chooses to make it.
Should you decide to'dedicato it to the
Columbian year lot the narrow ribbons
bo one red , one white , one blue , the cen
ter one about eighteen inches in length ,
the other two a trillo less. Attach to
them some of the coins issued if they can
bo obtained ; if not , let the coins bear the
date of 1892 or 18W. ! A charming
souvenir would bo a Columbian half dollar
lar and two of the Isabella quarters.
Antique or rare coins also possess
especial interest.
When ribbons of rich , dark colors or
different colors are used the hand
somest effect is secured with one coin of
gold- and two of silver , or vice
versa , rather " than all of one
metal. A slight difference in
the size of the coins is also usually
moro effective. For instance , with dark
blue ribbons a shining silver dime , with
the yellow gold of a dollar glittering on
either side , looks well. If one wishes
something almost equally pretty , but of
less value , a dazzling now cent Hanked
by silver half dimes meets the require
ments.
Very dainty are the ribbons of rose
pink and pale blue weighted with spotless -
less silver , while with" white ribbon
gold affords a desirable contrast. Where
the souvenir consists of valuable coins
one should procure from a silversmith a
small top bar in silver or troUl , but for
more modest affairs the ribbons at the
.top can bo tied in a pretty bow or into a
gilt curtain ring. A fancy bead may
conceal the end of ribbon to which Jho
coin is attached , but a line chain passed
through the tiny hole drilled in the
coin is perhaps prettier.
It is quite evident that this little
arrangement may bo varied to mat the
taste of whoever is to receive it , whether
historically inclined or otherwise.
Camels.
Wild camels Have lately been reported
in Arizona , and there has been some
speculation as to their origin. They
wore imported nearly forty years ago ,
when Jefferson Davis was secretary of
war under the Pierce administration. It
was thought they would bo valuable for
use in the "Great American desert"
which was commonly supposed to
bo something like the desert
of Arabia nnd of Sahara In
Africa. They were found service
able , but the war coming on the camels
Wore lost sight of , became wild nnd have
considerably increased in numbers. It
is said that the camel endures extreme
cold bettor than extreme heat , its only
advant-go for hot desert countries being
that It can drink at once cnouirh water
to last two or three days. The camel Is
said to be a moro effective worker In
many places than the horse or mulo. Its
feet will not stand hard roads , and it
can , therefore , never be used for farm
ing purposes except in wild , uncultivated
districts.

other species is nearly all mouth , and
having no power of locomotion , it lives
burled in the soft oo/.o at the bottom , its
head alone protruding , ready to engulf
any prey that may wander into its cuv-
ornous jnwe. Tlioro is u forSclous kind

MERRY BREAKING BEE 3.
One of tlio Tow llright Spot * In n llcrits-
innn'H Lite.
The great event of the year Is closing
on the sheep ranches of the prairies
shearing time writes an AbileneKan. , ,
correspondent. By the thousand the
llpeces have been robbed from the backs
of the bloating Hocks , and after a Httlo
while all of the llnffy beauty that made
the great Hocks so attractive will bo
gone , nnd the animals Irt tholr angular ,
shaven condition will look like very
ghosts of themselves. Simple , in a way.
as the operation is , it is very well
worth seeing when sheep nro handled ,
not as in the cast In "bunches" ol fifty
or sixty , but in the great masses that
turn many square rods of prairie into a
woolly sea. No occasional shearer has
charge of the prairie or "rape of the
lleecc. " There are regular bands who
move from ranch to ranch , camping nt
each during the season , from April 1 to
June 1. While in camp the workmen
improve every minute , for the job is "by
the head , " 0 cents to 10 cents , according
to the fineness of the wool. Where an
export shearer can clip sixty to 100
Mexican sheep , running his shears
through their long , light wool and hav
ing no work on logs or belly , the merino
and Cotswold present an entirely differ
ent problem. The wrinkles that lap
over one another from nebo to tall and
the greasy wool that grows thickly down
to the very hoofs make fifteen to
twenty-five a big day's ' work.
With the shearers ranged along u
bench reaching across the shed , with
the bleating animals undergoing the
to them severe operation and the anx
ious ones outside awaiting their turn ,
the bccno is a lively one. When a sheep
is sheared a call of "Tar ! " brings the
tar boy , and a daub of blnck Is put
hastily" each spot whore the careless
shears hayo snipped out a piece of the
tender skin. Then the car marks are
looked over to bo sure there Is a means
of identification , and sometimes a brand
is put on in paint on the hip usually
the ownur's initials or a monogram. If
the Hock is troubled with "scab , " a dis
ease resembling eczema , each animal is
"dipped. " A tub of strong solution of
tobacco and water or some similar ma
terial is provided and the sheep goes
under , head and all , killing any insects
that may infest it and curing for the
time the sores made bv the scab on the
sheep's Hesh. The ilecces are tied up in
cubes a foot each in dimension
the white , clean side from next the
sheep on the outside , the soiled portion
folded carefullywithm. A huge sack ,
seven feet long and three feet iu diame
ter , is hung up between four poles and
the wool thrown in , a small boy being
put in also to tramp down the accumu
lating lleeces. When full the sack
weighs from ISO to 300 pounds , depend
ing on tlio quality of the wool.i ! When
100 such bales are sent out from a single
ranch it means a considerable income ,
wool bringing on the plains from 15 to
20 cents a pound.
But the work of the "shearing bees , "
as the spring festivals are sometimes
, called , is as nothjng compared to the
j pleasures that' surround them for the
men engaged. What a barn raising is
to a Now Englander , what hop harvest
is among the Catskills , is the shearing
season on the plains ranch. Then it is
that what little joy comes inta tiio long ,
dreary tedium of a herdsman's life is
found. The friendly raced at the shear
ing table are not the least of this.
They brighten up iho hours and
the record of being the best
Bhcaior in the camp is no slight honor.
But when the day is done , when the
big shed door , redolent with the woolly
odor and shining as if waxed from the
oil of the lleeces , is swept clean and
lanterns dispel in part the gloom that
lingers around the rafters , the real fun
commences. Invitations arc 'sent out to
the settlers and ranchmen around , and
in they come , from twenty miles some
times , to have an evening of enjoyment *
The dresses of the evening are not of
the latest style Indeed , they might bo
laughed ut oven in well out west cities
but they harmoni/.o with trousers in
boots , wide-collared shirts , belts and
spurs of the cavaliers. There is no
thought of dress , so it csmports with
the occasion. The musicians occupy
boxes on the shearer's bench and
saw restlessly at their grimy violins.
The dance is ready. There is much plo-
turcpqueness in the scone , for it all Is
characteristic of the now west the'only
frontier that now exists. The night
wears away rapidly , und the lunch that
is nerved is eagerly disposed of. There
are no Ices or fane/cakes ; indeed , a very
ordinary sponge cake is apt to be the
greatest delicacy on the table , or on tlio
benches , for there the supper is served.
However , to those who have ween only
stale bread and corned bucf for ten
months it bcems like the daintiest of
angol'd food.
Justice MiluI's Unlqiio Hmtoiior ,
Mr. Justice Maul of San Francisco
once addressed a phenomenon of inno
cence as follows : "Prisoner at the bar ,
your counsel thinks you innocent ; the
counsel for the prosecution thinks you
innocent ; I think you innocent. Union
jury of your own countrymen , in the
exorcise of such common law as they
possess , which does notbcem to bo much ,
have found you 'guilty1 ' und it remains
that I should pass upon you the sentence
of law. That sentence is that you bo
kept In imprisonment for one day and
as that day was yesterday you may now
go about your business. "

THEY KILLED A GRIZZLY.
IlrnlnVni I.innnoil nml Tint to n True Ho-
fore Un'an Shot.
One uf the largest grizzly bears over
killed in the stuto of Washington was
lassoed and afterwords shot near Asotin ,
In the Pulouso country , on the other
side of the Cascade mountains , a few
ilnys ago , by Henry and Frank Hanson.
The two men were riding along the
river hills looking for stock when they
came unexpectedly upon the big grizzly ,
who wna moving slowly along in the
road. Bruin heard the tramp of the
horses and slopped long enough to turn
his head In the direction of the up.
pronohlng team and utter a long growf ,
Then ho went swaggering along at n
little faster pace than he had bcou
going.
The two brothers examined tholr rifles
carefully and put spurs to their horses.
When they got within n few yards of the
bear ho rose upon Ills haunches nnd ills'
played his teeth significantly. While
ho was doing this the men got tholr.
rawhide lariats and in an Instant Henry
Hanson had his lariat around bruin's
neck. Ills brother quickly located the
noose of his lariat in the same place.
The grizzly made one pass with his paw
und broke one of the lariats as if it had
been a common piece of twine. Ho tried
hard to reach tlio other lariat with his
[ > aws , but ho couldn't , and In a few mo
ments ho was lighting mad. Ho bit and
clawed around , but ho could not got
away. The lariat had been wound
around a tree and Harry Hanson took a
position where ho could get good aim
und shot the struggling animal. It toolc
five shots to kill him.
( Ionium In Auatrln.
Foreigners are wont to classify Aus
tria among the Gorman countries. AR
a matter of fact her Gorman speaking , . !
population is but limited , and annually
losing ground. The increase in popula
tion among the German inhabitants of
Austria Is but 5.17 per 1,000 per year ;
the increase with the Italians in Aus
tria is f . ! )2 ) and with the Slavonic races
7.93. Of 100 marriageable women in the
German districts of Austria , forty-ono
find husbands ; among the Slavonic races
the per centago is fifty-two. One of the
reasons for this showing is that in the
Gorman districts of Austria the oco-i
nonitc management of affairs is almost
prohibitory to marriage among the
younger sons and daughters of the
peasants. The homestead goes to the
oldest son , whoso brothers and sisters
become his servants. Among the Slavs
the family property is equally divided
among all children after the death of
the father , and each ono is allowed to
begin housekeeping on his own hook.
