J IIF.R I*OI*I'I.AICITY IN THE LITTLE KIKMItOM
Of HEN RARE —A IIOMELY CHI 1.1 l THAT
ORKW INTO A HEALTH I I. WOMAN.
The Princess Dagmar, as the cm**
! prt'M i.x xtill lulled HI tln* Imiil of her
! birth, grew up with her sixter Alexnn-
I dra, now the princess of Wales, at the
Danish court, with very modest sur
rounding*. The ipieen WHS UU excel
lent mother, and sought to develop in
i her duughters the woman in preference
the princess. It used to lie said at
1 the capital that the princesses were '
| made to help in making their own |
1 dresses, and that the furniture in their
' common lied-room was covered with
I inexpensive calico. A story of the \
naive admiration ex presses I hy l'rin- j
cc-- Dagmar on being shown the wed
ding trousseau of one of the noble !
ladies at court, and her longing won-i
der whether she would ever herself;
own "such handsome things," was told
with a touch of sympathetic pride by ,
the people of ( 'ojH-nliag' ii, with wb'iin
the two princesses were great favorites. ■■
Dagmar lutd won Iter way deep'--: in
to the people's heart, however. Her
sweet di-position, the winning grace of
her manner and the perfect freedom
with which she, like her sisters (ami '
indeed the whole royal family), moved
among nil classes of the |K*ople were
well calculated to gain for her allec
tion that followed her to her new
home and found expression at her
1 wedding in a score of ways that touch
j I'd the heart of the princess profound
ly. At every subsequent appearuncc
j at lier father's court she was received
i by the people with an enthusiasm that
• veil embraced In-r husband, despite
the rumors of bis sinister character
and violent temper that from the be
ginning had threatened to make the
match an un|sipular one. The Cxare
witch apparently took kindly to this
[Nipularity, and when at Copcngagco
mingled freely with the populace. His
hlutr, mldimy way soon found favor,
and when Dagmar'- children in little
kilt*d suit- and with daik hair "liang
<d ' over th< ir foreheads Iwgan to Is
seen about the park nt Frcdcnhorg,
"grandpapa's" summer palace, the re
'•••neiliation to the foreigner was com
plete.
One of the eaues that contributed
to the popularity of the Princess Dag
mar was, pcrhnjM, her tiame. iI• r
lather had wisely given to nil hi*
children, except Alexandra, old, his
torical Danish names, identified with
the pnst of the nation. Frederick
t 'hri-tian, Valdcmar and Tiiyra are
I all nanu* that hold a high place in
I Dani-h history and live in its song*
and traditions. Put of all tin* na
tion's great names none is dearer to
the heart of the Danish people than
that of Dagmar, tlu* queen of the vic
torious Vnldemar and the friend of
the needy and oppressed throughout
the land, whose goodness was so great !
that on lu*r untimely heath-lied, ac
cording to tradition, no greater sin
weighed upon her conscience than
"sewing n laec sleeve on Sunday."
The |**oplo of l>jK*nhngen among
whom the Princess Dagmar moved
liked to compare her virtues with
those of the beloved queen, and at her
departure for her Russian home the
fervent wish followed her that she
would prove in truth a veritable Dag
mar —a "harbinger of day" to the
unhappy people whose empress she
was some day to become. The Prin- I
cess Dagmar was not a handsome child, j
her features being clumsy though ;
lileasing; hut she grew into a very
leautiful woman, like her sister Alex
andra. In every print shop in Cojien- !
hagen pictures of her and her husband,
with their children, are for sale. The !
children have little of their mother's
looks, hut bear a strong resemblance
to their father.
A TEXAS AIKbIMI S.
A Dallas (Texas Hettersays; A trag
ic* death has just occurred in our neigh
boring county of Hill, worth relating
and worthy of Virginius or any other
Roman father. One year ago (teorge
Arnold came to Dallas on private (
business, and while walking the streets ,
was bitten hy n worthless cur which ,
was frothing at the mouth and show- ]
ing other symptoms of hydrophobia. ,
Mr. Arnold became alarmed and very |
much excited when convinced in his ,
own mind the dog was mad. He (
went to n physician anil had the wound |
severely cauterized. Then, going home. (
ho was still very uneasy nnd dreaded (
hydrophobia so much that he hunted (
up a madstone and had it applied for (
several weeks, off and on. Ho took ,
every other precaution which was sug- j
gested, resting all the time under a ,
mortal dread that the virus had gone ,
into his system and would sooucr or (
later kill him. He had a wife and ,
several small children living on a rath- c
or isolated farm, and the thought that
he might suddeuly lose his reason and
harm his little babies horrified hint. .
The other day be ttegan to experience 4
strange feelings, and at once concluded
his time had come. He then proctir- 1
ed a twelve-foot trace chain and strong
lock and went to the woods. After
writing his wife a calm letter, in '
which he told her what was about to (
happen, giving her directions us to his
wishes after death, and pouring out a
volume of love for her uml the chil
dren, he run the chain around a tree,
drew it through the large ring at the
end and then wound the other end
uround his ankle so tight that it would
not slip the foot, locked it with the
lock und threw the key far beyond his
reach. The body was found two days
after still chained to the tree. There
WUH all the evidence necessary to show
the horrible death from hydrophobia,
lhe ground was torn up to the full
length of the clinin, the nails of his
lingers wrenched off, and all his front
teeth onl in scratching and biting the
tree, and every thread of clothing oil' i
his body. The body was drcadi'ullv '
lacerated with these, the only weapon
the madman could use. He hud
judged rightly what Would have been
the consequence had he remained at
home, and knowing that there was no i
human skill that could have cured him, i
preferred death alone, and in that
i way, to doing harm to those so near |
; and dear to him as wife and children, j

The young men of each of the twenty
arromlissements of the capital are
J called out in their turn. Ihe cere
mony take* place on the ground lloor
of the Palace of Industry, in the
( haiiip- Lly-e. *. A large temporary
salle is formed for the reception of
the recruit*. At the end of it rise- a
platform on which the mayor of the j
district, with his tri-colored scarf, and
the military authorities in mufti, are ,
seated round a large green-blazed ta
ble. The I irugc takes place in alpha-
Iwtieal order, so many letters being
•ailed up at the same time. Kacli
young man ha- his paper containing
hi- name, address, occupation, etc.,
and a- he ascends the platform he
hands it to an official. On hi* name
Iwing called out, the youth pause* in
front of the president, advances to
ward a kind of urn, thrust* hi* hand
i into it ami draws out a uumbcr, which
is at once proclaimed by another offi
ciai standing by, who take- giswl can
that the youth shall not draw two i
numbers or replace the one drawn bv
any sleight-of-hand trick—a rnameu
vre that i- sometime* attempted. A
the number i announced, a feeling of
sympathy, whether it la* a had or a
goMt mimlicr, is ex prosed bv the
other youths who are waiting. Form
erly those who dr< w the good number*,
which are the low ones, were exempted
from the service, ami only the hail
nuinlier*, or high ones, had to serve ;
hut now all of them have to t titer the
army, with this difference, however,
j that the good number* serve only one
or two years, whereas the had one*
are bound for the whole five years
with the active army. A pro|**al
now I H- fore Parliament would abolish
the Tirage au .Sirt, hy making all the |
recruit* serve three years and a half, i
As the youths dear-end from the plat- j
form, they naturally demonstrate their
good or ha<l luck ; those who <)raw -
low numlwr* wave their ca|>s with de- j
light; the other* manifest their de
j spondency, not to say despair. These
feelings, however, are calmed down
and blended together a* the conscripts
, emerge from the building.
The scene outside is even more curi- ;
i ous than inside. Here the friends and
families of the future soldiers congre
gate in large numbers, for they are
not allowed to enter the conscription- j
room. Fathers and mothers are wait- j
ing for their sons, sisters for their broth
ers, and sweethearts for their lovers, j
Many a touching episode ntay be wit
neased as the young man returns and
annouuees his fate to those near and |
dar to him. The first emotion over
the conscripts throw care to the winds 1
and prepair to celebrate the day which !
is to mark such an important epoch in ;
their live*. They bedeck themselves I
with tri-colored riblmns and msettes,
nnd pin the number they have drawn. 1
painted on colored paper, on their ;
breasts and caps. Bomc of them, who '
belong to musical societies, bring down
their instruments and enliven the
crowd with patriotic airs. They next ,
adjourn to the wine shop, where they
baptize their colors and drink to the
corps to which they will ere long be- j
long. The flow of soul often goes on
till dusk sets in, and then they resolve
to return home. 1 leaded by a (lag- J 1
bearer, they march through ihe streets
singing the Marseillaise nnd similar
songs. Others who live further off
clul. together and hire a van, which 1
they decorate with hunting, and as i
they drive along the boulevards, sing- 1
ing, shouting nnd laughing, the pass- ! 1
ers by stop and gaze, and, may be, 1
ask themselves where these gay re- '

A Chinese I.lly,
A Chinaman working about a sa
loon in Virginia City, Nov., the othe;r
night, brought to his employer a Chi
nese lily in full bud. He-said it would
be seen that the plant would hloonx
just at twelve o'clock, with the comiug
of the Chinese New S'ear. The plant
was brought to the saloon about ten
o'clock. The Chinaman dosed it witb
a white powder dissolved in warm wa
ter, and performed over it several eer
! emnnies. The buds were observed tc
swell visibly, but at 11.40 o'clock not
! one had opened. The hands of the
' clock were fast moving up to the mid
night hour. When it lacked but about
three minutes of twelve, John drew
out a piece of bamboo, about an inch
in diameter, from some secret recess
about his raiment. Placing this to hi.-* *
mouth, he gently blew his warm breath
on one of the buds, and almost in-tant
ly it was seen to expand and stand
forth a full blown flower. Iu rapid
succession flower after flower was thus
brought out, and at midnight the wholo
plant was a mass of blossoms.
Till: Egyptians, it is said, were the
first who fixed the length of the year.
The Unman year was introduced by
Romulus, 738 11. C., and it was cor
reeled hv Nunia, 713 11. 0., and
again by Julius Cwsar, 4"> 11. C., whc
fixed the solar vcar as Iwiog 3fWi days
and tl hours. This was denominated
the Julian Style, and prevaled gener
ally throughout the Christian world
till the time of Pone Gregory XIII.
The calendar of Julius Ctctar was de
fective in this particular, that 'the
solar year consisted of 36-5 davs, 5
hours and 49 minutes, and uot of 365
days, fl hours. The difference at the
time of Gregory XIII had amounted
to 10 entire days. To obviate this
error Gregory ordained in 1582 that
thai year should consist of 3*5 days
only; and in 1751 it was ordered to
be so used in Knglaod; and the nest
year 11 davs were left out, and the 3d
of September, 1762, being reckoned
M the 14th, so as to make it agree
with the Gregory calendar. The
Russians still adhere to tho Julian
caleudar, (called now Old Stylf.)
which is twelve days behiud the reck
oning of the Gregorian.
