COOLNESS IN BATTLE.
Bismarck’s Test of Von
Koniggratz.
Then he came to speak of the battle
Moltke at
of Koniggratz and especially of that
“anxious moment” in it before the ar-
rival of the crown prince in the rear of
the Austrians, when sowe I'russiap at-
tacks had failed and there were signs
of disorder among the repulsed troops.
“It was an anxious moment.” said
Bismarck, “a moment on the decision
of which the fate of the empire de- |
pended. 1 confess I felt not a little
nervous. I looked at Moltke, who sai
quietly on bis horse and did not seem
to be disturbed by what was going on
around us. 1 thought 1 would test |
whether he was really as calm as he
appeared. 1 rode up to him and asked
him whether I might offer him a cigar,
since 1 noticed he was not smoking
He replied that he would be glad if i
had one to spare. 1 presented to him
my open case, in which there were
only two cigars, one a very good Ha. |
vana and the other of rather poor qual
ity. Moltke looked at them and even
handled them with great attention in
order to ascertain their relative value |
and then with slow deliberation chose
the Havana. ‘Very good,’ he said com-
posedly. This reassured me very much
1 thought if Moltke can bestow so
much time and attention upon the |
choice between two cigars things can- |
not be very bad. Indeed, a few min-
utes later we heard the crown prince's
guns, we observed unsteady and con-
fused movements on the Austrian posi
tions, and the battle was won." —Carl |
Schurz in McClure's.
WON THE VERDICT.
The Jury Did Its Best to Make Good |
Uncle Sam's Word.
General Tom Edgar, the first white
child horn on Galveston island (his
birthday was in June, 1837), once nar
rated his experience as a juror in the
case of a negro on trinl for stealing n
mule. It was in 1865, while United
States soldiers were still in charge a!
Galveston The npegro pleaded not
guilty, but the testimony was pretty
clear againgt him. His lawyer, ignor
ing the testimony, based his defense
upon the assertion that the negro
could not possibly be guilty.
“1s it not a fact,” he said, “that the
federal government promised to ever:
freed man two mules and sixty ares
of land? No man can deny it, beeanse |
it is a fact. My client has not receiv-
ed his promised sixty acres of land
He has not received his promised span
of mules. He has indeed got but on: |
mule, as these witnesses have testified. |
and the United States still owes him
another mule and sixty acres of land
I leave it to von, gentlemen,” he said. |
turning to the jury, “if the facts
not prove conclusively that my client
ig not guilty of stealing this mule and
cannot under the circumstances have |
bony wulity
“hat argument,” said General E!
gor. “tickled us so that we actually
returned a verdict of not guilty. LL
don’t believe the darky ever did get |
the other mule and the sixty acres, but
we did all we could to make Uncle
Sam's word good.” —Success Magazine
The Chimney. |
Where wood is much used as a fuel |
according to Suburban Life. considera. |
ble soot collects in the chimneys, and
it is a source of many fires. ¥he chim
ney should be burned out once a year
at least aud the work done on a damp
day, or it may be swept out. A chim-
ney is burned out by placing a bundle
of straw or similar material in the bot-
tom of the flue and firing it. To sweep
out a chimney a small metal ball about
four inches in dinmeter is hung on a |
thin rope and pulled up and down iu!
Ihe chimney until it is elean. When |
not too high, the chimney can be clean-
ed by a brush on a jointed pole.

Birds That Play.
Some birds, like all children, like (ov
play, and Australia and New Guineu
produce the “bower bird.” which build
regular playhouses. These houses are
not a part of their nests, but are con
structed usually in the shape of cov
ered archways of little boughs two or
three feet long. eighteen inches high
and about as wide. They use these
houses simply for their games, as If
they were clubhouses. Generally these!
playhouses are decorated with bright
colored shells and feathers, just as
children decorate their playhouses.

A PICTURE ROMANCE.
The Frame That Startled Delacroix In
the Paris Salon.
Eugene Delacroix. founder of the
French romantic school of art, was
very poor in his youth. His first ple-
ture of note was his “Dante and Vir
gil,” painted when he was only twenty
years old. 1t was extremely large. con-
taining several figures the size of life,
aud to buy the canvas and colors took
all the money Delacroix had. A frame
was out of the question, but a good na-
tured carpenter gave the young artist
four strips of lath, of which Delacroix
made a rude framework for his mas-
terpiece, which he then sent to the
galon. But he had hardly a hope that
his picture would be accepted.
On opening day Delacroix went to
the salon, but failed to find his paint
| ing. He was wandering disconsolately
| about, when he noticed a great erowd
before a picture. He drew near. It was
his “Dante and Virgil.” But it was in
a magnificent, richly gilded frame, as
fine a product of the picture mounter’s
art as could be found in Paris. Aston-
ished, he sought Baron Gros, he d of
the examining committee. As soon as
young Delacroix introduced himse!l
Gros seized his hand and congratulated |
! him i
with true Gallic enthusiasnu
“But,” stammered Delacroix, “how
about that splendid frame? 1 had ne
money to frame it, and"”—
“Make your mind easy,” said the
| baron. “Your lath frame fell to pieces,
but the committee was determined that
! such a chef-d’oeuvre as you have paint- |
ed should be placed on exhibition, and |
we framed your ‘Dante’ at our own es- |
pense.” —Exchange.
Paid Up.
2 year or two ago the son of a
prominent banker of Iowa undertook, |
with all the brashness and confidence
of youth, the launching of a new morn-
ing paper in a town already well sup-
| plied with newspapers,
It was understood by his friends that
| the young man had, in fact, started his
| enterprise on “a
shoestring” —a few
hundred dellars advanced by his fa-
ther. So it was with much facetious
ness that the youthful proprietor and
editor was approached from day tc
| day by the aforesaid friends. “So you |
. call yourself an editor!” exclaimed one |
of them, with affected contempt.
“Of course 1 do,” returned the brash’
young owner. “I'm the whole thing on |
this paper. And 1 don't owe a
therefor.”

Long Flights of Birds.
Birds of passage make their longest
flight somewhere near Bering strait
A naturalist says that probably the |
longest continuous flight made by the
feathered travelers in their peregrina- |
tions Is accomplished by some of the |
shore and water birds that nest in the |
islands of Bering sea and spend the
| winter at Hawall and Fanning island
2.900 miles away. As some of the birds
live entirely on the shore and are
probably unable to rest on the surface
of the water, they must accomplish the |
whole distance in a single flight, yet
they make their way to their destina
| tion with absolute precision.—Chicago
