Our ship is at last on the hljfh Ht-tm; the wind Is favorable.' He had hardly spoken when rhe Count, to his i;reat astonish ment, saw the Prince grow palo, wprinj? up suddenly, draw his hands across his eyes, catch hold of the chandelier, and a moment later rush Into the hallway lealing to the guard room. Count NostWsi went aTter him and saw that rh Trlnce was following a white apparition, which suddenly disappeared through the wall. The Prlm-e examined the wall: there wad no opening. As the Prince heard stupa behind Mm in the hallway, he turned and said to the Count: " 'Did you see It, NosUtzT " 'Yes, Your HlKhness, I saw it,' was Ihe answer. "Then.' continued the Prince, It wjw neither a dream nor a ghost of the brain.' "There was a third witness present the gun rd who declared that a fig ure wrapped Iti white had passed hi in. ue had allowed It to do so because he had believed It to be a Sarony cavalry otBeer. The hallway hd only two outlets -Info the guard rtm, and tho salon, where the Prince and his oflWr were gathered. "The apparition made a deep Im pression on tho Prince. He said that he looked upon It as a bad omen, for the 'White Lady' only appeared to an nounce the violent death of a Hohen zollern. "On the following day the battle of SaalfeM was fought. When the Prus sian troops had been put. to flight. Prince Ferdinand aixl Count Nostiti ocaln saw the 'White Iftdy,' who spood on a hill and wrung her hands, as In despair. Count Nostlta put spurs to his horso and rushed up the bill, but the apparition suddenly disappear ed. A few minutes later Prince Fer dinand received a mortal wonnd In an attack of the French cavalry. Count Nostltx tried to carry the Prince to a place of safety, but was also wounded and sack senseless to the ground. "Count Nostits! never spoke In all Ms lifetime of this occurrence, save to his son, and to him he commanded se crecy. Count Noetitz waa not super- FtlttOUS." Emperor Frederick sent a hearty let ter of thanks to Count Nostits. Jr., for the copy of the document, declaring that the family would always preserve it aa a relic. T,. After His Monojr's Vf orth. Ool. Frank Bradley went Into a wnll-kriowTi reetaumnt the other day, when, looking over the menu card, his eye fell on "Puree tomato a la St. Jullen." With the air of a learned professor of the ancient Celtic lan guage, he looked up at rhe beclouded waiter, and solemly said, "Puray to mato St. Jullen." "Yes, sah," answered the gentleman of the claw-hammer coat and white gloves, and presently he came bock with some blood-colored fluid and set It down before the hungry broker. "What's this you got here, son!" ajiked the broker. "Tomato soup; what yoa oMe'd." "Ns, I didn't order tomato soup. I ordered 'puray tomato Sit. Jullen.' You take tbte back and get what I ordered. 1 don't want any of your low-down English dlahes. I only eat In French, ir.

There has long boon a marked ten dency among lawyer to abandon tl..t wldo Hold of general practice mid tnk! up with 'VKelalttlos." some devoting themselves to mercantile, others to accident, to corjioratlon, to Insurance and to criminal cases. Wlthlu a comparatively short time here has Kprung up In New York, If the term "sprung up" can be used In reference to anything connects! with the red tape of the law, a class of practitioners known as "electricity lawyers." These are either young men who, coming to the bar, find the field of professional employment crowded, or men of middle age, who, retained In cases wherein electricity figures, have Ifccomc export on sim ilar questions. The field Is a comparatively new ono and thorn are few precedents to guide the lawyer. Kleetrlclty Is. Imh-od. a pr.'icllcully uw branch of law busi ness, and, as the matters In dispute are generally lmiMrtant, this branch of legal practice Is quite lucrative. At tho beginning of tho present year, It Is ootnpntisl, that no less than f 1,(H)ii,(m)(, 000 was Invested In the electrical In dustry of the I'nlted States.

New York un. Tho IVtngrum. A city broker whose home Is in New Jersey was obliged by lllnessness to lose a day frmi his business, so he sent word to his clerk at the ollieo to let him know by telegram something of the day's transactions. The firm's private code whs to be used. The I' .urs wore on, but no telegram appcari-d, and the broker began to be mystified, not to say provoked, at the unaccountable neghgence of his faith ful clerk. The telegraph office was a mile from his home, and there was nothing to be done but to wait for tho messenger, who didn't come. Next morning the unhappy subur banite stopiod mi his way to the sta tion to make Inquiries nt the telegraph otllee for his missing telegram. The operator was an old town gossip, with an Interest In everybody's affairs, and he greeted his visitor In neighborly fashion. "Uk1 morning, air! All well, I hope?" "Yes, all right I say, didn't you gt a telegram for me yesterday V" "Telegram for you? Well, let me see. Why. yes; I bellevo I did. Hut I couldn't make nothing out of It, so I didn't think 'twas worth whllo to send it upl" New York Tribune. The Folly of It. Notwithstanding Col. Bangs is only a urlHtla colonel, and never had a title In his life until u year ago, he does not like to air his colonelcy on all occasions, and for some time he has looked with disfavor upon the cards of his wife, which read: "Mrs. CoL Haugs." The other day she told him to order her some more curds. "Ortalnly, my dear," he responded, for the colonel Is as gallant to his wife as most meu are to of' women, "but 1 I do. I Kfcirtl taw ....a Ool.' omit ted." "Oh, no," he protested; "what do you want to do that for?" "Rocauso It tihouMn't be there." "Why not? It Is only a dealgnatlon of who I am, and you are Col. Hangs, aren't you?" "of course I am." "Then, why am I not Mrs. CoL unngs?" The colonel bowed. "For the same reason, my dear," ho responded. "That when I was Mr. Baugs you wee not Mrs. Mr. Bangs," and the colonel won a victory. De troit Free Prww. le Girls. Girls, do not try to be aught but the essentially feminine.

"I saw a new fish net new to me, At least in the Kennebec river reivnt ly." said .1. S. Stackpole. of Augusta, Me. "The poor fish have uo chance at all with It. It was an ordlanry net. provided with a rublier tirlie all around the top. The tube Is connected with a compressed air pump, operated from a boat or the shore. The net Is sunk, and the fish ore attracted over the middle of K, either by an Incandescent lamp, or by bait. If the fisherman does not want to carry too much parapher nalia. When enough fish have gather ed the fisherman works his air pump, and Inflates the rubber tube. It rises slowly, and so gently as not to alarm the fish. In this way, when entirely Inflated, the whole top of the net Is raised to the surface or the water, completely surrounding the entrapped fish. They shoot downward in flight, and never seek to go over an obstacle, aud so all are easily taken. The net is reset simply by allowing the air to escape from the rubber tube, when the net sinks." St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Jiut They Alwejr Were. Women grow more frivolous every day. Young ladles scorn housework and learn to embroider, to play tho piano and to flirt, while their mothers are engaged in all the drudgery of the household. They eschew all useful reading, and prefer French novels to EngliBh classics. In selecting bus bands they choose dandies with social graces rather than men with solid at tainments. They are full of strange, whimsical notions peculiar to tho age. Reader, this Is a synopsis of the opin ions of an English magazine writer of 1780 on the women of his time. They sound very much as If they were writ ten by certain pessimists of to-day. There Is no new thing under the sun Boston Transcript. WUet to Io With a Healthy Baby. The thing to do with a healthy bab. (s to have It clean twice a day wheii It goes to bed at night and when It dresses fresh about the middle of the day. The healthiest babies In the world get dressed In the morning for all day. Just as soon as the child begins to kick and wants to get at Its reet It ought to be put in short clothes and put on tbe floor to work out lw own salvation. Its muscles were given It to use and It will put them to tbe test If you will give It a chance. Tho mother who thinks more of her baby's clothes than she does of Its health Is quite likely to have the clothes' left on her bands eternally clean. A Cartons Old Custom. A curious custom still survives at Yarmouth, by which the town Is by law compelled to supply "a hundred herring yearly to tbe sheriffs of Nor wich, baked In twenty-four pies or pasties, and thence sent to the Lord of the Manor of East Claroton, who Is to convey them to tbe King."
