Of all things, after jealousy of which, indeed, it is part and parcel, the visible substance of the unseen feel i tiff money is the most potent factor in the creation of domestic rows. To see a set of expectant heirs all wait ing on the reading of the will, and to note the disappointment of those who have Uot been well endowed, and their frantic jealousy of and tiery anojer against those who have, is to see an object lesson in human nature aiming the most saddening; and degrading that exist. I!" reason of those legacies all the former love is forgotten, and a hatred like to nothing so much as the tire of hell takes its place. Krot hers and sis ters glower at one another over the lump sum given to one and the small annuity doled out to another, with the thundering residuum that goes to jH-rhaps the alreadj- richest meiuWr of the family, or the portion which cre ates the head out of one of the minor joints of the tail. How many affec tions have received their death blow by the side of that divided heap of money where each legatee thought himself defrauded by all that the oth ers hail received, and where there were disappointed heads by as many as there were joints in the tail left in their natural condition. It is an exceptional nature that can take coolly the disappointed expecta tion formed by vanity or cupidity of the legacy to come after such and such a death, writes Mrs. Lynn Linton, in the Queen. Kor, indeed, money is the touch-stone par excellence of character, ami baser hopes do sometimes so often mingle in even with love where the lover is jioor and the beloved is wealthy. Then comes the crash, and then follows the row; and flames burst out where the flowers once bloomed and the sweet waters once flowed. A IIuiuiau Mill k bird. It Is said of Alboni that she "warbled like a bird all day long." She used to sit in her gardeu and sing as she worked at lace making or some other feminine occupation, and the rent of the house adjoining- her villa was raised a thousand francs lieeause of the fr.-e musical entertainments thus fur nished. In regard to her great size, her liody liecainc so un wieldly in her la:.t years taii i he rose with difficulty from her chair, and usually had to le he Ipcd to rise.

The "Yellow Jacket" of which Li Hung Chang was recently deprived ia the symlml of Chinese royal and impe rial favor, as well as of the highest power. It is a much-coveted and, therefore, little worn garment. The first Marquis Tseng Kovv-fan rose so high iu his opinion of the emperor of his day that his majesty drew off his own coat and placed it upon the worthy subject's back. To show his appreciation of the gift, and the man lier of it, the marquis, who lived for many years, ne-er allowed it to be re moved from hi back. Years later, it presented a local coating of Its own grease and indescribable filth. It had become from this cause as stiff as a Ward. When the marquis died his j ellow coat was buried with him.

"Margarita I" "Here!" came a child's voice from beneath a linden heavy with bloom. Franz Hennig entered the shade where Margarita, with a sleek yellow cat for companion, sat knitting. "What is that?" the lad asked. "A stocking, stupid. Hast thou not yes?" the child answered, affecting im patience. "For me, then?" Franz captured the needles and scrutinized the work with covert amusement. "They were to be thine, bat they grew so small I'm afraid they will be only large enough for the cat," Mar garita sighed. "So! Well, little one, thou shalt knit me stockings another time. " He looked dreamily across the garden to the quaint old house which for three years had been his home. Three years of preparation for the university, three years of unremitting kindness from the busy housewife and her aged mother, who had opened their doors to the lonely student, three years brightened by the enthusiastic devotion of a little child. Now this chapter must close. From down the village street came the rattle of drums, a bugle note and the sound of cheers. "It is a baud!" shouted Margarita, seizing pussy and preparing to leave the shade. "Wait," Franz said, with a thrill iu his tones. "I have something to say to thee, liebrhen. Dont thou know what the drum is crying? It is war!" "War?" she responded, with childish indifference, "The mother said this morning that I soldiers were going to France. But why dost thou care, dear Franz?" "Herr Steinert returns to the army today, ' ' he said gravely. "Then there will be no more lessons on the beautiful trumpet for thee I I am sorry. But don't mind. Thou wilt have me. " "Margarita," ho said sorrowfully, "I shall not have thee, for I go too. " "Thou!" She stared with wide, in credulous eyes. "Surely, not thou!" "Liebcheu, " he whispered huskily. "Liebt-heu, wouldst thou have me idle at home when the rest are going? Wouldst thou have me a coward? I have no father or mother, no sister to mourn for me, while many go from dear ones who can ill spare them." "Thou hast the mother and grand mother and thou hast me!" she sobbed. "True, I have thee, and thou wilt be a brave little (ierman maid and make my going happy." "When wilt thou go?" she asked, bravely trying to suppress the sobs. "This afternoon." "And who will ride thy horse, Prinz, when thou art gone?" "Prinz will go with me, for I shall try for the cavalry, as my father did be fore nie. Hark to the trumpet ! If I might go as trumpeter! To sound the charge that would be glorious! But it is not tiossible, of course. I hope I shall be near Steinert. But come; it is time I was making ready." The hours crept away with rapid prep arations and tearful partings. Through the little town sounded hurrying feet eager voices, snatches of warsongs, rolling drum or bugle's blare. In the midst of the turmoil Margarita was missing. "Where can she be?" queried Frau Krummer anxiously. "Margarita, Mar garita. Franz is going!" But no childish voice responded. "We must go," cautioned grand mother, tying her bonnet strings with trembling fingers. "Come, Lotte." "Margarita!" shouted Franz, but only a mocking echo gave answer. With sad eyes he gazed once more about the dear home, then turned away. At the little station all was confu sion. Tearful women clung to the fa thers, brothers, sweethearts, who laugh ed and joked with heavy hearts. The long train was laden with troops from farther south, all pressing forward to join the crown prince's army at Lan dau. The moment for departure was at hand. "Auf Wiedersehen, then, dear friends," said Franz, pressing a hearty kiss upon the cheeks of tbe two women who had taken him into their hearts. "Margarita, you will give her my dear love. I wish" "Franz, wait!" cried a small voice, and Margarita clutched his arm. "From thy mother's grave," she cried, thrusting a bunch of blue corn flowers into his hands. For an instant he caught her up in bis arms. "Thanks, liebchen," he whispered, then, setting her down hastily, ran through the crowd and jumped upon the slowly moving train. "Auf Wiedersehen!" he cried, wav ing the blue flowers above his blond head. "Auf Wiedersehen!" echoed Mar garita, trying to smile through Ler tears. Under the shelter of a friendly hill a detachment of Bavarian cavalry awaited the f'-rual to charge. To the left sound ed the continuous roar of musketry, punctuated by the detonations of artil lery. From his post as right guide of the platoon Franz gazed along the lines of his comrades in dusty sky blue uni forms. Only a month had he passed with the regiment, but the intelligence of the young student had already made him conspicuous, and the time had been long enough to knit his ties of friendship with the men. Only a month, but in that time the boy had become a man. Gripping his saber hilt, he settled himself firmly in tbe saddle. , Tjhe fie at I German artillery, which had cannon j aded the French infantry to prepare the I way for the charire. was slackening. From over the hill Franz heard the fierce crack of the enemy's rifles. On Franz's right waited the two trumpeters of the squadron. The nearer one, eager faced and alert, scanned the heavens, where shells shrieked above their headi "This will be a hot place if we don't move soon," he growled. "There is a hotter place over the hill, Steinert," said Franz. Steinert nodded. Just then the order came. Clear and ringing it was sounded by the chief trumpeter. Clear and ring ing sounded the trumpets in response. With a great clatter the cavalry swept up the hill to plunge into the fiery rain below. There came a shrill singing through the sulphurous air, a deafening crash, and a shell had exploded to the right. Before it fell Holtz, the farther trump eter. Steinert's horse recoiled, then plunged heavily forward, throwing his rider over his head. In an instant Steinert was on his feet and running by Franz's side. Behind him came thundering line upon line of galloping squadrons. "Can you take me up?" gasped Stein ert, unmindful of the red stain which widened on his side. "Up!" cried Franz. He checked Prinz's pace an instant, and the trum peter was mounted behind him. The sight of battle had entered the cavalry horse, and down the hill he clattered, under the double load, soon fully abreast of the squadron. "You are hurt!" cried Franz. "Put your arms around me. So. " A dimness spread ln-fore the keen eyes of Steinert. There was a humming in his ears. The heavens were growing black! Again came the trumpet calL With a wavering effort Steinert raised his in strument, but found no strength to blow. "Franz," he groaned, "sound the charge!" There was no time for question. Seiz ing the trumpet, Franz raised it to his lips. Clear and strong his repetition of the call rang out above the turmoil. "Bravo!" groaned Steinert. "Now let fue drop." Steinert's hands loosened their grasp. His strength ebbed fast. But Franz caught the flaccid hands firmly iu his left fist and drew the limp form closer to his broad shoulders. He dropped the bridle rein upon his pommel, thrust his right arm through the cord of his trump et, grasped his saber with that hand, and so met the shock of battle. Nightfall found the army of the crown prince gathered in and around a French village, far from the ground on which Franz, after the first charge, had de livered Steinert to the ambulance, the nurses and the doctors. Through the successive actions of the day the young student had served as trumpeter. Shouting, foraging for provisions, cheering, singing and laughing as though on a holdiay, the Bavarian troopers surged through the little cap tured town. After darkness had come on Franz, pushing his way through the crowded thoroughfares, found himself before an inn where many of his com rades were eating. They shouted to him to enter. Winking and blinking as he came from the darkness into the strong light, Franz failed to see the signal slyly given by a burly dragoon. There was a hasty scraping of chairs on the bare, floor, a clatter of feet, and the survivors of Franz's squadron sprang to their feet. With an uplifted sausage the signal was given. Theu"Hoch! Hoch!" rolled through the room and reverberated in tbe corners. Smiling faces turned to greet Franz; eager hands drew him to a seat. Dazed, uncomprehending, he slipped into his chair, and only upon re peated explanations did he understand the cause of the demonstration. "Why, man," growled the burly dragoon, "don't you know it was a brave thing to cripple yourself with Steinert in the midst of a charge? Ach, but it was fine!" "He is my friend, " answered Franz simply, "my comrade, " There was a stir at the door and the clatter of a saber upon the floor. Iu an instant every hand was raised in salute. It was the captain. "I find that both trumpeters of this squadron were disabled early iu the action today, yet a trumpet has sounded the orders as they were given. How was that?" In eager words the story was told, and Franz found himself hus tled and shouldered until he stood be fore the captain. With some uneasiness he raised his eyes to his superior's face. Had he transgressed in taking upon himself another's office. But thero was no severity in the answering glance. "How came you to know the calls?" the captain asked kindly. Franz told briefly of the lessons he had received from Steinert back in the fatherland. "Then keep the place you have taken today, as Holtz is dead and Steinert too badly wounded for service. It pleases you, I see. It pleases me also. Good night!" And again the room resounded to shouts, deep and sonorous, "lioch, Hoch, Hoch!" A year I Joy and sorrow, hope and despair, laughter and tears, victory and defeat these are its harvest. But above the sobs of those who will not be com forted rolls a tide of rejoicing. The troops are returning! "Mother!" An eager face was thrust in at the half opened door, followed after an in terval of serious inspection by a small body. Margarita was unusually excited. Her round cheeks burned cherry red, her blue eyes shone. She held the yel low cat tightly under one arm. "Well, child, what is it?" asked her mother. "Thou kuowest godmother gave me money for a gold chain?" Margarita ventured, emphasizing her remark with a plaintive yowl from the compressed puss. "Surely. It is high time it was bought. Tomorrow" "Mother, " cried Margarita desperate ly, "I want the money for something else." "What then?" asked Frau Krummer. Margarita burst into tears, cast away the cat and clung to her arm. "Do let me 4o let me J" the jobbed. "Dear mother, let me go to Berlin with Frau Sucher and Frau Biederinaiin to meet the soldiers. I am a big girl now 9 years old, alnn-t and Frau Sucher will take care of me!" She opened her previously hidden hand and revealed a little hoard of money. "It will be enough, and Franz will be so glad to see me!" she said. With round arms choking her into acquiescence and fresh lips pressed against her cheek, Frau Krummer con sidered the question. Well, the good mother had a warm plaoe iu her heart for the lad who had no kin to rejoice over his homecoming. So when Frau Sucher went up to Ber lin a small girl, beaming with joy, at her side gaz-d from above a huge bunch of cornflowers at the strange sights slip ping past the car window. For Margarita the journey was far from t-dious. At every station, laugh ing, light hearted people crowded upon the train, all bound upon one errand the welcome of Germany's warrior sons. When other amusements pall-L the cornflowers were woven into a large wreath by Margarita's deft littl. lingers, and her heart swelled with joy at the thought that she would grx-t dear Franz on the morrow and make him for get that neither father nor mother nor Bister nor sweetheart awaited his com ing. The morning dawned fair, and Frau Sucher and her charge were early abroad. They found the streets already thronged and gay with flowers and ban ners and lined with benches and plat forms. Frau Sucher established herself, with Margarita, as near the statue of Fred erick the Great as Ksihle, proceeding to make herself comfortable with lier lunehbaskct. Far away sounded strains of martial music. The trooiis were passing around the old town wall. There was an eager movement in the throng. All faces turned by a common impulse toward the Brandenburg Thor. Yes, they were coming! Carefully holding the blue wreath of cornflowers, Margarita cram-d her small neck, but, alas! could we nothing lie youd a sea of heads. Tears of dirsup-, pointment rose to her eyes. After all, Franz would think himself forgotten in the general rejoicing! The journey would be in vain! It was not to be borne. Slipping unnoticed from Frau Such er's side, Margarita wormed her way through the crowd until she stoixl le hind the police who mounted guard along the way. Thrusting her head out as far as pos sible, she paid scant heed to the passing troois until the sky blue uniforms of the Bavarians filed by. Catching her breath with luixiefy, she scrutinized the brave aiTay. Among so many could she find her Franz? Su.Menly her heart gave a quick bound, for, with the sunlight dazzling his sad blue eyes and glinting from his shining trumpet, came Franz brow ued, thinner and with a strange yellow down uioii his lip. Iiut Margarita knew him. With a joyful cry she darted In-tweeii two astonished police ju-n into the open space beyouiL At tbis sudden apparition in white Prinz swerved sharply, then stretched out his head in recognition. "Franz!" cried a childish voice. "Dear Franz!" It was not a finished sjHech, but it Served its purpose, for a loving welcome shone iu the child's face, and high above her head she held the cornflower wreath. All sadness faded from Franz's eyes. "Margarita, liebcheu!" ho cried, and with a quick movement lcut and caught the wreath In-fore the laughing policemen led Margarita back to her distracted guardian. No, he was not forgotten! Turning in the saddle, he kissed his hand to the child. Then with trumpet wreathed with the flowers the monarch most lovetL with head erect and happiness iu his heart, Franz Ileiiuig, the trunijH-tcr, rode In-fore the aged emperor. Marion Dickinson in Y'outh's Companion. An Ant Army's Victory Over a Snake. "While camping in Alabama during Ihe late war," said Colonel Cross man of Dayton, O., "I witnessed an at tack of a band of black ants upon a striped snake. One evening, while I was trying to go to sl-ep after a long day's march, I felt something move under my head. I lifted one corner of the blanket and found a snake between 3 and 4 feet in length. I quickly hit it with a small stick, but the reptile seemed hardly stunned, so I picked it upon tho end of the stick and threw it about 15 feet away. "The snake landed on a large ant hilL Almost instantly the ants poured forth from their nest, which was un derneath, and began a vigorous attack upon the intruder, who was sxn cov ered by scores of his assailants, biting him fearfully. The battle raged with fury, the snake writhing about in tor ture. The contest at first seenl an un equal one, for the snake was rapidly thinning out his persecutors; but, on the other hand, the ants were very numer ous and quick in their aggressive move ments. The snake, with one blow of his tail, would kill or wound a long line of ants, but the active little creatures were soon re-enforced by fresh troops and fought with a desperation wonderful to behold. I was astonished beyond meas ure to seethe tactics of the ants. When they saw their numbers were ln-iug lessened, they dispatched couriers for fresh relays of soldiers, who apiieared on the scene in due time to replace the killed or wounded. The moon, after a time, lit up the scene, but as there ap peared no near termination of the strug gle I gave up watching it and went to sleep. Before striking tents the next morning I went to look at the battle ground. The slain insects were scattered in every direction, but there were six or seven watchful ants Uoii the back of the snake, which lay stretched out dead near the anthill." St, Louis Globe Democrat.

Gu Sunday tlio big door was tightly closed and pad locked, and no violation of the law was noticeable. No other cave on Hughes or Covington street near the entrance t i the "Underground" conu-ctcd with it.' and no one wver entered thereon Sun day. But around on Warren and J. .1ms se n streets occasionally some onewonM enter the caves. There was no saloon n that side, however, and the police went not suspicious. Those who entered tli hill went by many different tunnels t- the imrthca-terii p:trt, and then' they found, in a large amphitheater, light and tabl-s and many a jolly party tell-, ing stories and drinking in the cool, dry atmosphere .f the cavern. From one ofj the many tiassag.-ways that led off from this large subterranean room waiter came with the foaming glass-s. Fifty; feet down this passage was the bar. Thei business thrived for two years. In the summer the air in the cave w;n cooler than it was outside, and iu th winter it was warmer. All the year tho "Underground" was the favorite re sort.

About o'clock in the morning a crash shook, the whole iicighlorhood, and when Adam Biddle went to his saloon under Federal hill the next morning he found that the door had lecii burst open by the weight of loose sand that had fallen, and choked up the entrance. The hugt padlock had K-en thrown across tho. street by the force, an.l it, with tho broken staple, was picked up and is still in poss-ssioii of ltolicrt Henderson who was then a inert; boy. Biddle, on discovering the ruiut wrought by the storm, sought out hi. partner, lieorge Snyder, and they tried, to effect an entrance to the " Under ground" through the other passagi-s, but it was useless. The amphitheater was filled up and all the passages with in 100 feet of it. The whole northeast erncoriier of the hill, at Covington amt Hughes streets, had settled down. With many a regret the buried been was aliaii.loii.il and in time forgotten. Biddle and Snyder went into other lines of business and afterward left the city.
