THE EMPEROR'S KISS.
15V BEimiOLD'AUERBACII.
' To-morrow the Emperor will pass
tnrough our village," said Isaac, the
warden of the Jewish congregation,
to the rabbi, one evening after the service.
The rabbi passed his hand over his
snow-white beard, which reached down
to his chest, and answered, "May he
be blessed.'"
" Amen," responded Isaac. "But
we ought to do something to greet him.
Every one, however high in position, is
pleased when he sees how beloved he
is: and precisely because we have
officially received no notice, the Emperor
would see that we acted spontaneously.
The priest and the chief
of the village, men. women and child
ren, "will go out to meet lum ; ami
they have erected a triumphal arch at
the'boundary of the village. I dare
not make the proposal to be present
for two reasons; for in the first place,
I-know beforehand, we should be refused."
" Then you may keep for yourself
the second reason," said Tobias, the
beadle.
There was a half smile, but nobody
ventured in the presence of the venerable
and rigid rabbi, whose visible muscles
had never been seen in motion, to
indulge in a hearty laugh. The warden,
however, did smile, and then said:
"And even if they were to consent,
who would like to be present where
nothing but gibes and sneers would be
heard? What are we to do?"
^ The rabbi firmly grasped a tuft of his
^ beard with his fist. This was a signal
that he wanted to speak, and every one
was hushed into silence. "lie then
began: " Let the community meet to
morrow morning, and attend the synagogue
in their holiday clothes, and then
we shall see!'1
The rabbi opened a large book and
put his right hand on it. This was a
eiigna! for the people to leave him; for
ho now wished to continue his vocalion,
which consisted in alternately
praying and-studying. On the morrow
no one went with his box to the country,
for it was a festive day. On the
eastern side of the synagogue Tobias
was busy wrapping the scrolls of the
Law in silk and velvet mantles. The
large parchments are rolled on a pair
of staves, for it is an ancient proscription
that the Law of Moses must not
be read at synagogue from a printed
book, but from parchment scrolls; and
these scrolls never come into the open
air except <>n the day on which they,
amidst hymns and prayers, are carried
to the synagogue, being presented by
some family.
.Several Psalms having been sung,
all the scrolls were borne into the
street; there the bearers ranged themselves,
the rabbi in their inidst; his
scroll was adorned with glistening silver
crowns on the upper onds of the
staves. The whole congregation then
ranged itself in the midst of the village,
just as the bells began to ring,as a signal
that the imperial carriage bad
reached the boundary of the village.'
On the staircase of the house of Isaac,
the warden, opposite the synagogue,
the Jewish women and girls were assembled;
each sought to hide herself
behind the other, in order not to be
seen, ami again eacn piesscu nunuiu,
in order to have a good view.
Cheers, in the midst of which the
voices of the children rang loudest,
were now heard, and then a carriage
came, with two men in brilliant uniforms;
it rattled past before one had
even lime to open his mouth. A murmur
of recret arose that the emperor
should have passed .so proudly and
angrily, without taking any notice of
them,* and they were still disputing
whether the one at the right or the one
at the left was the emperor when another
carriage drew nigh, but quite at
a :-low pace. Now this really held the
emperor, and the rabbi raised aloft the
scroll of the law and said in a loud
voice, the whole congregation repeating
after him, "Blessed art Thou,
Eternal our God, King of the universe,
who has imparted somewhat of Thy
majesty to a human being of flesh and
blood."
The emperor stopped the carriage,

words, which were uttered in Hebrew
arid form a benediction prescribed to
be said .it the sight of a prince. lie
seemed'pleased and said :
"I must tell you that I am not partial
lo demonstrations of this kind. I
traverse my country in order to see
you at work, and not to hold out inducements
to idleness. It is true that
you Jews, as yet, apply to few profit
attic trades, aunoumi j. uonoi iluiik so
lightlv of petty trading as others do;
it enlivens intercourse. But you should
try to engage in steady occupations, and
to he less dependent upon cunning
and inducements to covetousness. My
laws will protect you. That every one
may be saved according to his fashion
?on this point, I cannot make an}* arrangements;
but I wish that every neo
should enjoy happiness according to his
ability Of this I will take care to the
best of n.y means, and in this I have
also thought of you. You have borne
disgrace and misery for centuries; this
shall now have an end?at least in my
dominions!"
The Emperor had then the nature of
the scrolls of the Law explained to
him, and repeated again that he would
not tolerate any civil distinctions on
account of dift'erences in religious opinions.
" Is it true," he then asked the rabbi,
' that you consider yourselves as the
chosen people, slighting all others because
iney are not of your fiA:*t?'<'
" Your -Majesty!" replied the rabbi,
" Our Law is only binding upon him
who is born a Jew/ We never seek to
convert others, and would it not be unreasonable
and blasphemous if we were
to slight those who live in accordance
with their law, and do not'.want ours,
which does not want them either?"
The Emperor nodded, as though
phased, and said: 1 love tidelity; it
is the highest virtue. I have preserved
i it amid numerous trials!"
lie was just oil the point of giving
the signal for departure when he noticed
the women assembled on the
staircase, and turning toward them, he
said: " And have you no word, no
token of homage for me ?"
It may easily be imagined what a
thronging there was on the staircase at
these words. Many crowded into the
house and fell upon each other. Others
fell prostrate on the ground and hid
themselves: and again, others covered
their faces with their aprOns. Only
one young woman remained in her
place*; but her swelling lips quivered,
and out of her black eyes spoke a rare
inward emotion. Presently the maiden
opened her mouth, and said: "The
burliest veneration has no words!"
. 44 You know how to Hatter!" replied
the Emperor, smilingly.
" One does not flatter the sun when
thanking him in silence fordilfusing his
light over all creatures!"
What is your name?"
Dinah!"
4; And your father's?"

Isaac, the warden.
I have to express a wish to you,

slighted and ill-used for centuries,
and as a token to myself, let me give
you a kiss! Will you?"
I* * I will!" said the maiden, and her
'whole face shone like her eyes. And
I lie Emperor stooped down and kissed
her on the lips.
4 Vou appeur to me very crude and
?:oy," said the Emperor. " How i? it
?>y. . -
that you have so easily compliod with
mv wish?"
" Because I did not kiss the man, but
the clemency of the Emperor!"
" I thank" you," said the emperor,
merrily. "No doubt you are already
betrothed."
" Yes, your majesty."
i All those present looked around asj
tonished; but lYoin the crowd of men
j there now stepped forth a tall, slender
youth, with curly black hair and fine
Features.
"Where is your betrothed?" asked
j the emperor.
"Yonder," said the maiden, point!
in? with her outstretched hand toj
ward the young man, who wanted to
I come forward, but stood still, as
j though rooted in the ground.
" When will you marry ?" asked the
I emperor.
" When your imperial majesty gives
permission."
I kC T ! Whv T ?"
" Because they refuse us the right of
settlement. According to an ancient
law, the number ot Jewish families
must not be increased; it must remain
the same, and my betrothed has a married
brother."
u Madame, you remind me of a law
which makes us doubt whether such
law could have been given by men.
However, tell me, is your betrothed
a huckster ? IIow can you give your
hand to a mau engaged in haggling,
and who, forgetful" of his honor, allows,
himself anywhere to be jeered
at, if he can only do a profitable' business?
"
" My betrothed," replied the maiden,
" is a tanner. He was obliged to learn
his trade abroad, because no master
would receive him here ; and now the
guild refuses to admit him and forbids
him to cany on his trade! "
"And I hereby give him permission,"
said the Emperor; and then continued:
"I will protect you in all honest dealings,
and you shall bear in mind that
my name?Joseph?is borrowed from
your Old Testament. Herewith I salute
your scrolls of the Law," at the
same moment baring his head. "I
take oft" my hat before every sanctuary
Jo in truth nnrl T lipnr

nobody malice because he differs in
worship. Iteligious hatred shall in
future be known in my dominions by
the contempt in which I hold it. Keep
to your Law, and fit yourselves more
and more to participate in those things
which I offer to my people without distinction."
The Emperor then entered his carriage,
and tne people were near being
run over by the other carriages, so
great was the confusion as the assembly
dispersed in all directions. Only
"linali remained sitting on the step, cryI
...t'. She had shown a brave heart m
the presence of the Emperor, and now
she was again a weak girl.
The general astonishment vented itself
in all kinds of exclamations, and
this much could be learned from the
din?that DiDah was not engaged, and
that she had surprised and "caught her
father and betrothed by this sudden
turn, for the father was hot willing to
marry her to a man who had not the
means to support her. But now all
opposition was overcome, and when the
matter had been sufficiently discussed,
all recurred again to the kiss given her
by the Emperor. The communal wag,
Tobias, let loose all kinds of witticism.
The excitement caused by this occurrence
continued for some time, and
even the Christian townspeople came
to Isaac, and listened astonished to the
account of the incident.
The young man, so suddenly betrothed,
walked about as in a dream,
not knowing what to make of all this.
Now he was quizzed because the Emneror
had kissed his betrothed before
lie had done so; then he was congratulated
because, after all, he was fortunate
enough to be engaged to the
beautiful and brave daughter of the
rich Isaac. And these twittings and
congratulations alternated, like his
own feelings; sometimes he felt happy
at the sudden favorable turn of his ror|
tune; at other times he was sad and
cross because ne tnougnc mat a maiueu
kissed by the Emperor must look down
upon him with contempt.
Every one wanted to' see Diuah.
Hut she all at once disappeared, and
shut herself up in her bedroom, and
would not see either her parents or betrothed.
In the evening, however, she
came down, and, according to an
ancient custom, tln-ee candles were
lighted, a blessing was written with
chalk on the floor, and on it,as was the
practice of old, a cup was broken, and
every one present received a fragment
of it. This was the ceremony of the
actual betrothal, and through its celebration
great trouble was brought on.
When, a few weeks after, tlie authorities
were applied to for a license
for the marriage, the magistrate declared
that, in the first place, there
existed no authentic document testifying
to the Emperor's permiesion, and
that the evideuce of the Jews present
could not be received further than that
it proved that Dinah had told a story
to the Emperor, and that he must report
thi? to 'n\ ^eriors. The i^v
was now turned into sorrow, and Dinah
had to appear before th? magistrate,
w o Y\ or* '' A V A t'nil
WJL1U iiiu^xvxu^i j aoavu ^*.4 v/ j ?*?
the Jewess whom the Emperor kissed?"
Dinah had now to submit to a painful
cross-examination. Every word
was written down. IIow ashamed she
was! At last she had to confess that
she had deceived the Emporor, as she
was not engaged at the time. In conclusion,
the deposition was laid before
her, and she was asked to sign it. "With
trembling hand she took the pen and
wrote her name. Suddenly lier face
became Hushed. Pretending to throw
sand on the signature to dry it, she
took the ink-stand and threw the contents
over the deposition. She smiled
secretly at the scolding of the official,
who was vexed at the trouble she gave
him. She was directed to appear on the
morrow, in order to sign another copy
of the deposition.
Like a conqueror who has achieved
some great deed she returned to her
father and betrothed, who wailed for
her outside. Quickly she told them
what she had done. In the night,
while every one in the village was
buried in sleep, she, her father and betrothed,
secretly entered a cart which
waited for them on the highway, and
away through the night rolled its
wheels toward the capital, to the Em
peror. Arrived at" Vienna, Dinah
could not be persuaded to meet the
Emperor in audience herself. And
i when the two men told this to the Emperor,
he smiled and praised Dinah,
and immediately ordered two documents
to be prepared; in the one he
confirmed his promise, and in the other
the chief of the village was severely
reproved.
There was jubilation when Dinah
and her companions came back to the
village, the father holding up in his
hand the imperial document with the
great seal aflixed to it, and announcing
to all his good fortune. Never before
had a wedding been celebrated in the
village with greater rejoicing than that
of the master tanner with Dinah, and
cheers were inven, over and over
again, for the Emperor. And when
tlie glee was at its highest, the horn of
the mail coach driver was suddenly
sounded. Every one ran to the window.
An imperial lacquey dismounted.
With flnttpnnor uniirs he entered the
wedding room, and, with a few strange
sounding words, presented to the bride
the portrait of the Emperor in a beautiful
frame, and askeu again, in the
name of his master, for thanks from
the red lips. Already had the bridegroom
opened his mouth in order t<?
put in his veto, when there arose
general cry, Tobias, Tobias!
Tiie portrait was the first ornament
in the house of the young couple, and
Dinah took a bunch of flowers from the
wedding table and bound it round the
picture.
One morning, about a year afterward,
the emperor smilingly held out
a letter to an iiulic counselor who presented
him some" papers and said:
"Now you see that he whom they
called a heretic is god-father to a Jewish
boy." lie then related to the
counselor the incident with Dinah and
concluded:* " The young couple have
named their first-born son in honor of
i me,'Joseph.' Write to them that I
| shall ever be graciously mindful of
them and my little cod-child, and send
the woman this ring."
The ring has remained; but the little
Joseph soon died, and the whole congregation
mourned at this. Then Tobias
observed: " The proverb is true. The
1 child is dead, the god-fathership is at
an end."
"When, some years afterward, the re
mains of the Emperor Joseph were car
ried to the ancestral sepulcner (it hap
, pened to be on Sabbath), the sectiot
read in the synagogue was Exodus i.
and when the eighth verse was read
all wept, and in the women's gallerj
i many looked toward Dinah, who sat
. there pale like a corpse, but did not
shed a* tear.
1J Even after Dinah had become a
i ] grandmother she still deeply bluehed
when sho was reminded that she had
been once kissed by an Emperor.
Rosalind's Littlo Game.
" Pass the cake."
These words, spoken in imperious
tones by Ilosalind McGuire, iloated diagonally
across the parlor to where
Pansy Perkins w;is seated on a fauteuil
conversing with George AV. Simpson.
Pansy was looking even lovelier than
usual, the gas-light softened and made
less garish by the tinted shades through
which it came, bringing out in all its
beauty the peachy complexion for
which the Perkinses, of Perkinsville,
had long been noted.
"Wereyou ever in Marietta, Ohio?"
she asked, bending her face as she
spoke so close to that of (Jeorge that a
little vagrant tress of her sunny hair
swept across his forehead, making him
feel as if had suddenly taken hold of
the handles of an electrical machine.
" No," he replied, " I never was in
-Marietta, out i nave an aunt who useu
to live in Cleveland."
" How strange !" said Pansy. "My
father once knew a man who had been
in Cleveland."
And so they chatted on, unmindful
of the fact that just across the room
there sat a woman, beautiful, but with
cold feet, whose eyes were never taken
from them, and in whose heart the
fires of jealousy were raging in all
their lurid fierceness. Rosalind McGuire
loved George "N'. Simpson with
all the passionate fervor of a high-born
woman, whose heart, attacked in vain
by countless suitors, suddenly pours
out unbidden all the hidden treasures
of its love. Such a love is terrible in
its intensity, and only those who have
seen a three-base hit made in the ninth
inning can realize the agony to which
a woman, loving thus, is subjected
when she sees the object of her passion
bending tenderly over another and
whispering words that can never be
recalled. The sight of George W.
Simpson making love to a girl who
didn't have an invisible net to her
name, was more than Rosalind could
bear, and she went into the supperroom.
" Put some oysters near that hole in
the wall," she said to a waiter, pointing
with her jeweled hand to the portiere
through which she had just passed.
The man did as lie was told.
In a moment George and Pansy enf
1m rnnni
irti VU bllV/ i vv/iiit
"Would you like some oysters?" he
said.
"Oh,yes," saicl Pansy. "I think they
r?re just lovely."
George placed before her a platter of '
Sevres ware on which the inollusks
were heaped, and, as the first one disappeared
with a dull thud, Rosalind
smiled a cold, Boston smile, and felt
that her hour of triumph was at hand.
"When the oysters were gone Pansy
looked up with a glad smile.
" You are very kind, Mr. .Simpson,"
she said. " and I shall not soon forget
this night."
But the happy look had faded from
the man's face, and his riant mouth
was quivering with pain. "My heart
was broken," he said softly to himself,
as he reached for a biscuit, " but it is
better so than after I had told my love.

An Ox who was one day passing

leg. In a short time along came the
Horse, who halted and called out:
" Mercy on me! but what has happened
?"
" I have broken my leg."
" Too bad?too bail! I assure you
that you have my heartfelt sympathies."
When the Horse had disappeared
along came the Mule and inquired:
" llow now, my old friend?what's
the trouble?"
" Broken my leg."
" Dear me! but that's unfortunate !
You were always an honest, hard-working
Ox, and I am deeply grieved that
this accident has come upon you."
The Mule pursued his way, and the
next animal to stop was the Hog.
" Ilello! What does this mean ?" he
grunted as he checked his pace.
" Broken my leg."
" Is that possible! It isn't six
months ago that you had a lame
shoulder, and to have this misfortune
come upon you is enough to discourage
the best Ox in the World. If you
don't recover from it always remember
that you had my warmest sympathies."
After the Hog came the Goat, who
halted at a safe distance and called
out:

happen to get well I shall be highly
delighted."

when along came the lthinosceros on
his way to the pool.
"Hello! What's up now?" he
asked as he looked over the bank.
" Broken my leg."
" Is that so." Well, I never had an

A Backward Death Shot.
The Cincinnati Gazette thus clearly
describes the shot made by Frank
Frayne, the actor, in that city, which by
the breaking of a spring holding the
breech (if the gun caused the death of
Miss Yon Behren : The marksman

pressed against an upright wall, forming
with it an exact right angle, so
that under ordinary circumstances the
bullet could not be deflected up or
down, ll WOU1U Jieut'ssiuuy vv <i nut:
shot, susceptible of change only to the
riglit or left. The mirror was upon a
small iron upright, fastened to the
stock of the gun. Now, looking at
this, the shooter only saw the reflected
image of his gun barrel, which was
thereby doubled, shortening the distance
to the object by just double its
natural length. One other peculiarity
of this reflection is that the apple
seems drawn toward the gun and appears
as though about touching its
muzzle. Strange as the statement may
sound, it is about the truest shot that
can be made ; but that a gun is always
dangerous, and that no hand'ing of
one, even upon such geometrical
theories jus the one given, is without
the most appalling dangers, is also
proved.

accordingly, it is an instinct answering
to a physiological requirement, and
many a half-nourished child is kept

given in food, sugar is much more useful.
We are glad to see a strong protest,
on the other hand, against salt
beef. It is one of those survivals, so
hard to get rid of, since days when a

During a recent discussion at the
Philadelphia Academy of Natural
Sciences it v/as doubted that the odors
of insects are emitted ;is a protection
from Uie attacks of enemies as is generally
belioved. At least some of the
odors are very agreeable to man, and
it is by no means certain that scents
repulsive to us are not delightful to
the most common enemies of the insects
emitting them. Dr. Joseph Leidy
spoke of some ants having the fragrance
of a Eucalyptus tree growing
near their nest instead of the usual
peculiar odor of formic acid.
HEALTH HINTS.
People should not gorge themselves
with animal food. Vegetable and
fiirinaceous preparations are better for
bulk.
When the bones are weak, as is often
the case in young .children, twisted
positions induce curvature of the
spine.
Says Dr. Footers Health Monthly :
Try breathing the fumes of turpentine
or carbolic acid to relieve whoopingcough.
Every man who would have his girls
grow up to be strong, high-minded,
healthy and refined women, should
break away from custom, etiquette,
fashion and folly and turn to nature.
It may not be generally known, but
it is a fact worth remembering, that a
small quantity of the unbleached sulphate
of quinine mixed with any
ordinary tooth powder forms an excellent
quinine dentrifice, which not
only preserves the teetli sound and the
gums healthy, but is found to be
wonderfully ellieacious in preventing
toothache and neuralgia.
Feeding Through the Nostrils.
Dr. Eernet's interesting statement
on this subject, before the Paris Therapeutical
society, has attracted considerable
attention. The. fact that infants
have advantageously been fed in
this way induced M. Eernet to resort
to it, and, ;is appears, successfully.
The patient being laid on his back,
with his chest and head slightly raised
by pillows, the liquid is poured slowly
into the btft-k part of the nares by
means of a very pointed spoon or
other agent, and when it reaches the
nharnyx it induces a movement of de
glutition. Adroitly performed, food
may be given this way as well as by
the mouth. He has often used the
method in apoplectic coma, and in
the coma of infants suffering from
tubercular meningitis. Medicines may
be given in the same manner whenever
the mouth cannot be employed
for this purpose. .Similar means have
been found effectual in the case of a
maniacal patient, who could not be induced
to take food into his mouth
under any circumstances.
Curious I-acts About Precious Stones.
Professor Thomas Egleston, in a
lecture on precious stones in New
York, said that in Paris there was a
diamond so hard thajt the usual process
for cutting and jwlishing made no
impression upon it. The black diamond
of Russia, a rs?re and beautiful
gem, when broken into Hakes and
polished, was worn as court mourning.
The historic diamonds have no more
luster than a piece of glass. The sham
diamond was more beautiful than the
genuine stone, but it has a tendency to
decomposition and does not retain

THE WIDOW'S COW.
Dow the Canadian Cabinet Wm Entertained
by an Irnte Membor of Farlla
inent.
W. A. Croffut tells the following
good story in ;i letter to the Detroit
Post: "While in Montreal I heard a
good story of Sir Peter Mitchell, member
of parliament for New Brunswick.
He was an opposition member during
the lamentable government of Sir
John Mackenzie, in the last decade,
and was a most constant and uncomfortable
thorn in the side of that unhappy
premier. Sir John was conspicuous
as a railroad magnate, and,
just before Che opening of parliament
one winter, Sir Peter called on him to
induce him to pay $40 for "a widow's
cow that had been run over by the
cars. "I don't believe there is any
tmng in it!" exclaimed tne premier,
peremptorily; "it's probably a trumpedup
case, but I'll inquire, and you can
call to-morrow."
The gentleman from New Brunswick
was not used to being treated so
cavalierly, but he pocketed it, and
called in the morning.
" There's no justice in it; we won't
pay for the cow," broke in Sir John.
"You won't, won't you?" rejoined
Sir Peter, with a manner quite as
bouncing as that of the leader of the
government. "Have you been there
or sent there and investigated it V"
"No, I haven't, but I won't pay for
the cow. It's a mere trifle, and she
fought to have kept it off the track."
"Don't the law say you shall have a
fence?"
" I won't pay for the cow, now, and
that's all the answer you'll get."
"You won't pay for the widow's
cow, won't you? Sir John Mackenzie,
I'll make you pay for it!" exclaimed
Sir Peter, now thoroughly aroused.
"You will! you will! IIow will
you ?" growled the premier.
" I'll take it out of you during the
session, as sure as you're a living man !
The widow's $40 isn't anything, isn't
it! I'll take it out of you."
It was an Irishman against a Scotchman,
and both were angry. The sequel
proved that Sir Peter "took it out of
him," very thoroughly. He i3 a roundheaded
man, a hard worker, a pugnacious
and redoubtable foe, an unforgiving
enemy, bold and eloquent in debate,
no dilettant, but a hard hitter,
and some of his onslaughts were furious.
If he had not great tact lie has
great force, and he never forgot the
cow. In the speeches he made every
day against the measures and methods
of "the government, then under serious
suspicion, he told the story of the cow,
and trotted her out with a frequency
that must have seemed like a cruelty
tc animals.
T7>I4-Ka Irtof /lotf tlin cocolnn
jl" manj Lite a.aou uc*j vi tuv nvouiuu
dawned, and the consideration of Mackenzie's
expense budget was resumed.
It provided the appropriations for the
coming year.
Sir Peter Mitchell took the floor and
launched into a eulogy of the deceased
cow and the propriety of making an
appropriation for the widow. He was
greeted with laughter and mock applause,
and then his auditors waited
uneasily for him to finish. He did not
finish. " He told the story over again,
with embellishments and elaborations.
He contrasted the stinginess of the
wealthy ruler with the quiet endurance
of the penniless widow. He began to
read from the Bible the commands to
mercy, justice and charity, when the
honorable members straggled out one
by one to dinner. Sir Peter bit a biscuit,
drank a swallow of water and continued,
impressing upon the empty
chairs about him the tender duties and
graces ot numaniiy. jviemoers struggled
in again. He quoted the Song of
the Shirt. They appealed to him to
draw his remarks to a close. He retold
the story of the cow. Meantime Sir John
Mackenzie was perspiring with wrath
and anxiety in the premier's apartment
hard by. All his hopes were bound
up in the appropriation budget.
What if it should not come to a vote ?
The honorable member from Xew
Brunswick could not be stopped, for
this was the one bill in a Canadian
parliament on which a member could
speak as long as he wished. There
was no way of cutting short the debate
No motion was in order while he was
speaking except the motion to adjourn
?and that would be adjournment sine
die. The government members were
in consternation as the orator delivered
a speech on the blessings of vaccination,
gave statistics on the cost of fences
in the United States, passed an elaborate
encomium on the superiority, for
draft purposes, of Devon cattle, to
which class the deceased domestic
menu 01 me uereuvt'u wiuuw ueiuugeu,
and then began to desgribe the religious,
ceremonies in which the sacred cow of
Burmah takes part, when the bell rang
for vespers. A short time more-and
the session would expire by law, and
the government had passed no appropriation
bill!
At this critical juncture one of the
government members returned excitedly
from the premier's room, rushed to
the orator's desk, and exclaimed: "In
t he name of God, what ails you, Mitchell?
What do you want?" "?and
still," said Sir Peter, finishing the sentence
he had on his lips, "not a cent
has ever been paid for the widow's
cow !" The member uttered a vehement
exclamation about that animal,
and added: "Sir John Mackzenzie authorizes
me to say that he will pay for
the cow if you'll let the bill come to a
vote."
Sir Peter sat down rather tired, and
the widow got her pay. The government
organs declared that the widow's
cow had cost $40,000. Her champion
is still known in uanaua as uismarcK
Mitchell, on account of his boldness
anil shrewdness in outwitting a cabinet
and making himself long the adviser-in-chief
of a vacillating governor.
The Conclusion.
" Protopolasm," remarked the professor,
" is composed of carbonic acid,
water and amonia, in which compound
the water largely predominates. To
what conclusion does this lead?" The
pupil was a boy, and not easily staggered.
lie answered:
"It leads to the conclusion that dad
never takes any protopolasm in his'n."

and inquiry was busy in gathering the facts.
Immediately following tho death of Mr.
Charles A. Vogeler, tho surviving partners
of the house, of which he had been
!?/ * oi.ifif iconof! n mr<*nlnr
tho 1 radu aud press, which appeared in the
columns of this paper. It made public an
arrangement which in the exigencies of
the moment was deemed necessary, and announced
that it was the desiro of all concerned
to continue its affairs as they had been previously
conducted.
Ic was learned, late last evening, that certain
changes affecting tho permanent establishment
of tho business had been resolved
upon, and a reporter of the Herald was dispatched
to the office of Col. Charles Marshall,
attorney for the estate of the late Charles A.
Vogeler, whore it was ascertained that negotiations
had been concluded, as follows:
That tho interests of the surviving partners
had been purchased by Mr. Christian
Devries, a member of tho old and substantial
house of William Devries & Co.,
- 1 - 1?1 iL?

Baltimore, and that a new firm was
about to bo formod under the firm
name of Tho Charles A. Vogeler Co.,
this naino being in honor and perpetuation
of tho memory of the late Charles A. Vogeler.
It was further ascertained that the new
firm will be composed of the widow of the
late Mr. Vogeler (she retaining her late husband's
full interest), Mr. Christian Devries,
as executive partner and financial head,
and Mr. 11. I). Unibstaetter, who, from the
first step in the initial venturo of the house
of A. Vogeler & Co., was the manager of
the advertising department and confidential
adviser of Mr. Charles A. Vogeler.
By this arrangement it has been fully determined
that all tho plans and business
purposes of the lato Charles A. Vogeler,
tho founder and executive manager
of tho late firm, shall bo developed to
their full fruition, and that the popular
preparations of the house, prominent among
which are St. Jacobs Oil and Dr. August Ivoenig's
Hamburg Family Medicines, shall hold
their high rank under new auspices and the
new management.
There is one feature of this commercial
opisodo which appeals strongly to tho kindliest
feeling and points a touching moral.
Mrs. Vo-zeler holds her rolation in tho firm
with a wifely courage. Her whole future
is centered in tho resolve that the fruits of so
valualilon life as that of her husband's, which
was freely sacrificed in his zeal for the welfare
of his native city, aud that tho aims and projects
he pursued shall not bo permitted to
languish, but shall be revived and strengthened
to its credit and to his honor and fame,
and that she will strive to build for him an
enduring monument in tho enterprise ot hi*
own founding. _

TI1H TRANSFER
Of public confidence from other preparations of Sarlapsrilln
and other Blood Purifiers of whatcvor name to
Hood's Sarsaparilla is the sigtial triumph of a meritorious
article. The people are quick to ieco;nize tmo
merit, and this is why the salo of Hood'e Siroaparilla
for exceeds all similar preparations. One hundred
doses $1 can only bo applied to Hood's Sarsaparilla, and
is an unanswerable argument as to medicinal strength
and economy. f
CATARRH.
We believe that nine-tenths of all cases of catarrh are
constitutional. We also boliovo that a reliable constitutional
romody like Hood's Sarsaparilla, tbat strike*
at the very root of the disease, will euro a very large
proportion of ill cases. Iu confirmation of this belief
we oiler oridcnco showing the effects of Hood's Si
parilla u|>on this disease. A mother says: "My boy ii-.l
catarrh ho badly that I could hardly keep him in clean
handkorchicfx; he has taken one bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilln,
and that terrible amount of discharge has
stopped." Auothor writes: "I lure had catarrh four
years. Last April the dropping in my throat became so
troublesome that I became alarmed, as it affected my
right lung. I took two bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilla
and it cured mo. My appetite, which was variable
before, is first rato now." Charles II. GBirrix,
