In one of Bret Harte's clever parodies
•112 the French he told a story in words
something like these: Three gamins were
playing in the streets of Paris. A priest
passed by. "There goes a priest," cried
one; "look out for your eggs and your
chickens!" Then the priest, hearing the
words, knelt down and prayed for the
boys. But upon reflection he was con
vinced that It was not the fault of the
boys, but of their parents, lie knelt
down the second time and prayed for
the boys' parents. On another thought
he saw that it was not the fault of tlia
boys' parents, hut of society. He knelt
down again and prayed for society. As
he rose from his prayer he said to him
self: "My friend, who is society? You
and I are society." So he knelt down the
last time and prayed for himself.

AFTER THE BATTLE.!
A VETERAN'S STORY OK A TASSELED
TURKISH FEZ.
The OrrtTmiinp Incident In WlilcU He
Psrtlplpnled at the Second Battle
of Xtnanani —V Ilrave Hoy and lila
DyiiitC It « <| ue»t.
"Whenever I see a tnsseletl Turkish
fez." said a Confederate veteran whose
attention had been attracted by a
smoking cap of that pattern in a Canal
street window, "I am reminded of a
curious and rather grewsome incident
of my campaigning days. It was on
the morning after the second battle of
Manassas," he continued in response to
a request f<p the story, "and several of
us from my company had gone over to
the field in tlie hope of picking up a
few tilings that we badly needed and
for which the dead had no further use
—waterproofs, for instance, and sound
canteens.
"During the previous day's engage
ment you may remember that a regi
ment of freshly recruited New York
zouaves held the crest of a hill and
were charged and almost annihilated
by Hood's brigade. They were mowed
down like ripened grain and fell so
thickly that their corpses literally car
peted the earth. I dare say it was as
awful a slaughter, considering the
number engaged, as occurred anywhere
in the course of the war.
"Well, we hadn't gone very far when
we came to this hill and began to get
among the dead men. The poor fellows
had been mustered into service less
than a week before, and they were said
to be the most gorgeously uniformed
military troop ever organized. They
wore scarlet Turkish trousers, blue
Jackets embroidered with gold bullion
braid and purple fezes with long pend
ent tassels.
"Being just from the outfitters, all
this fine regalia was perfectly fresh
anil new, and somehow or other it
added to tlie ghastliness of the specta
cle on the hillside. The corpses were
in all sorts of strange postures, and
their fantastic costumes gave them an
air of horrible grotesqueness that I
couldn't begin to describe in words.
"However, to come to my point, I
had picked up a fez to carry away as a
relic and was about to leave the spot
when I happened to notice a much
handsomer specimen on the head of a
little zouave stretched out, stiff and
stark, a few yards away, with a hand
kerchief over his face. I stepped up to
make a 'swap,' but had barely touched
the tassel when a low, sweet toned
voice under the handkerchief said,
'Please don't!'
"For a moment," continued the veter
an, "that unpleasant protest, coming
from what I had supposed to be a
corpse, made my hair bristle on my
head. Then I lifted the handkerchief
and was shocked to see the delicate,
refined features of a boy not over 15.
He was jfale as death and evidently
desperately wounded, but he looked at
me calmly. 'My God,' I exclaimed,
'what a lad you are to be here!' 'l'm
afraid I'm dying unless I have help,'
he replied. 'Do you think the surgeons
will be around pretty soon?' 'The Lord
knows!' I groaned, for the boy's cour
age touched me to the heart. 'Your
surgeons have all run away, and we
only have a few, with more wounded
than they can attend to.' Then I guess
all I can do is to lie here quietly and
die,' he said in the same gentle voice.
'Can you get me a little water before
you go?'
"I took his canteen and hurried down
to a branch at the font of the hill,
where the first thing I saw, by the
way, was the corpse of a zouave float
ing in a pool. I went up the stream far
enough to get out of the horrible death
zone, filled the canteen with pure wa
ter and was soon back at the boy's side.
I gave him a drink, and lie thanked me.
'ls there nothing else I can do?' I asked
awkwardly, because I knew our com
pany was under early marching orders
that morning and that it would be im
possible for me to linger much longer.
'Nothing at all, thank you.' he replied.
'No message to anybody?' 'No; noth
ing, thanks.'
"I turned away most reluctantly and
had gone only a few yards when I
heard his thin voice calling me back.
'Excuse me,' he said, "but I want you
to accept this as a present,' and he
handed me his fine purple fez. 'No, no,'
I exclaimed, greatly embarrassed; 'I
couldn't think of taking it. When I
started to a little while ago, I thought
you—you'— 'Thought I was dead, of
course,' he interrupted. 'Well, I soon
will be, and that other fez will do me
just as well. I'lease put it on my head
and take mine.' I saw that he would
be hurt unless I did as he desired, so I
took the fez and went away.
"In less than half an hour our com
pany was 011 the march, and, needless
to say, I never heard anything more of
the little child zouave. He was badly
wounded and undoubtedly died where
I left him. I kept the fez a long time,"
added the veteran, "but It was finally
lost, with other odds and ends, in the
general confusion following the war.
I'd give some money for it today."—

The Good CVerla of Apple Gating.
The apple is such common fruit that
few are familiar with its remarkable
efficacious properties. Everybody ought
to know that the very best thing they
tan do Is to eat apples just before re
tiring for the night. is an
excellent brain food, because it has
more phosphoric acid in easily digested
*hape than any other vegetable known.
It excites the action of the liver, pro
motes sound and healthy sleep and
thoroughly disinfects the mouth. That
is not all. The apple agglutinates the
surplus acids of the stomach, helps the
kidney secretions and is one of the best
preventives known of diseases of the
throat.—Journal of Agriculture.

' COLORADO HIGHWAYS.
(low Improved Koadi W»nld
the State.
Discussing the work now being done
by the National <»ood Roads associa
tion, t le Denver Republican says:
Thai the Invention of the bicycle
would result in a movement among the
American people for the construction
hf good wagon roads was probably not
so inu«'h as dreamed of when wheeling
was first introduced as a sport and
means of exercise. It ifc a fact, ho\. •
ever, that wheelmen and Hy the
League of American Whet .
been a potent factor in starting Just
Buch a movement.
Ilori.tio Karle, president of the
league, is doing a great public work at
the same time he in promoting the in
terests of members of the league by his
efforts in behalf of good roads. At the
expense of the association he sends a
crew of road builders to different parts
of the country to construct a mile or
half a mile of sample road to show the
people what may be accomplished and
to illustrate the advantages of main
taining highways of that kind.
It is expected that in course of time
his cr ?w will reach Denver and that a
strip of good road will be laid from the
city out into the country. When built,
it will be tirm and substantial, and it
will 1 e available as part of any pro
jected highway that the public may in
tend at some later date fo construct.
Too niuch praise could hardly be given
an association which enables this to
be done.
The fact that our roads rarely get
muddy, like those in some parts of the
humid region, suggests that the good
roads problem is not one in which Col
oradoan's are deeply interested. But
that is a great mistake. There Is us
much need of good roads here as any
where else, though the expense of mak
ing them may be less. Colorado is a
tourist state, and circumstances there
fore demand that it have better high
ways than states to which tourists rare
ly go. Driving over the highways of
certain European countries is one of
the delights of a foreign tour to that
part of the world. Hut in the United
States such pleasure is almost un
known. Absorbed in building railroads
with wonderful energy, the Americans
have paid too little attention to wagon
roads. But, fortunately, the wheel
men and others are bringing about a
better condition.
IOWA ROADS IN SPRING.
Mud Cannes Great Inconvenience
and I.auu to Farmers.
Business in most of the country
towns in lowa during this spring has
been ut a standstill on account of the
almost unprecedented bad condition of
the roads. Not since the great flood in
the spring of 1892 has there been as
much water in lowa as there is this
spring. It is a serious and dangerous
undertaking for a farmer to start to
town with an empty wagon, and to
haul a load is out of the question.
They either goon horseback or on foot
when it is absolutely necessary togo
to the postofllce or on some other er
rand to the nearest town.
The three snowstorms in the month
of March added very much to the mois
ture that was already in the ground
and that failed to soak in because of
the frost. When this snow melted, it
washed out many culverts and made
dangerous places in the roads. In
some parts of northern lowa, where
the soil is thick and sticky, the mud
clogged upon the wheels so that they
could not turn, and whoever started
out to drive with any sort of vehicle
usually carried a spade or an ax with
■which to dig the mud off. Big heaps
of it may be seen alongside of the road
where people have stopped to unload
their wagons.
Nearly every line of business has
felt the effects of these conditions.
Farmers could bring nothing to town
to sell, and they did not come to buy.
If they happened to bo out of coal,
they either burned cobs or cut down a
few trees or burned up some old posts.
In many parts of the state all sorts of
farm work has been suspended be
cause the fields are covered with water
and are almost impassable, even by a
man on foot. The streams and ponds
are filled as they have rarely been,
promising unusual plenti fulness of
game during the spring and fall.
Chinese Roads.
The Chinese road is private property,
a strip taken from somebody's land.
This is done much against the will of
the owner, since he not only loses the
use of it, but also still has to pay taxes
on it.
One consequence is that it is wide
enongli for only one vehicle, and carts
can pass one another only by trespass
ing on the cultivated land. To prevent
this the farmers dig deep ditches by
the roadside. As the surface wears
away and the dust blows off It gradu
ally grows lower, and after awhile it
becomes a drain for the surrounding
fields. A current forms in the rainy
season, which still further hollows it
out, and thus has arisen the proverb
that a road a thousand years old be
comes a river.
Develop the Coontry.
I am heartily in sympathy with the
good roads movement. I do not know
of anything that will more materially
benefit the country. Good roads will
create a base of supplies for the towns
and cities. They will reduce the cost
of marketing the produce of the farm
and thus turn thousands of dollars
Into the channels of trade every year
that are now spent for wear and tear
of teams and vehicles, aud the loss of
time in getting to and from market
By reducing the cost of marketing they
will enable the farmers to diversify
their crops, thus developing the coun
try along all lines. No country can be
thoroughly prosperous without good
public highways.—Rev. J. B. Lawrence.

NAMES OF OUR RAILROADS.
Carloui Chunge* 111 Titles Brought
About hy the Public.
The fashion of naming railroads has
: changed considerably in the last quarter
j of u century. The three and four word
titles have about gone out of style, and
one word name* succeed them. For in
stance, the Santa Fe is no longer referred
to us the Atchison, Topeka und Santa
Fe. although this is the corporation title.
The old Chicago, Burlington aud (Juin
cy has been contracted to simply Burling
l t. : by the public decree, and the title
| Ro< k Island has replaced the Chicago,
Ro< k Island and Pacific.
Many towns otherwise practically un
known are kept before the public be
cause they bud the luck to be worked into
a railroad title. For instance, who knows
the real name of the Monon railway? As
I a matter of fact it was organized as the
Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville
road. The little town of Monon, Intl.,
gave it its popular name. The Wabash
system does not take its name from the
river, but fnfm a station of this name on
the line.
One of the most sensible railroad
names was selected for the combination
of railroads organized in the south and
now known as the Southern railway.
The Southern is very fitting, as it enters
nearly every southern state. It is also
an economical name.
Another name that strikes you is the
Cotton Belt. This is how the St. Louis
Southwestern railroad has been mod
ernized. As it passes through one of
the largest cotton producing regions of
the United States It is very appropriate.
Because a little road up in Nova Sco
tia with the ponderous title of the Domin
ion and Atlantic reached the land made
famous in Longfellow's poem tourists
have given it the title of the Evangeline
road, and perhaps this is more appro
priate than the other. It is certainly
more picturesque.
A change which must have shocked
the directors was in the case of the
Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St.
Louis. This was altogether too muck
for its patrons and the railway men, and
some one thought of the size of the cities
named and called it the B*j Four.
Down in Texas and the neighboring
states they have a habit of handling the
railroads without gloves when it comes
to giving names. A favorite plan is to
take the principal initials of a road and
spell them out. Only a native of the
southwestern ranches would know Pee
Gee stands for the Kansas City, Pitts
burg and Oulf railroad. Another Texas
road, the Kansas City, Beaumont and
Gulf, is merely called Kaysee, cutting off
the last part of it. Sap is short and
sweet. It has been contracted from S.,
A. P., meaning San Antonio and Aran
sas Pass, one of the principal lines
in Texas. The New York capitalists
who built another road thought that Mis
souri, Kansas and Texas would be a
suitable name, but the Texas people re
duced it to Katy.
Including nicknames, the shortest name
of any railroad in the United States is
the Sap, which has already been re
ferred to. It is G37 miles in length. A
little road in Mississippi, the Chester,
Perryville, Sainte Genevieve and Farrn
lngton, has the longest title of any in
America. This contains no fewer than
48 letters, but two other lines are close
to it, the Richmond, Nicholasville, Irvine
and Beatyyville and the Southwestern
Arkansas and Indian Territory. Ths
Chester line is ouly 27 miles long.—Chi
cago Inter Ocean.
LONDON COSTERS.
Itinerant Street Veadtn Who Make
Falrlr Good Income*.
It is difficult, if not Impossible, to cal
culate with any decree of accuracy the
amount of money turned over collectively
In the course of a year by the costers, but
interesting figures may be supplied by
placing on record the gross receipts of
Borne street traders.
Many will be surprised to learn that a
coster in the fruit or vegetable line will
make a turnover of anything between £S
and £l2 per week, a full third of this be
ing profit. The figures vary much, nat
urally, with the Reason of the year and
the state of the markets, but he is reck
oned a poor fruit coster who cannot
make an average of £2 10s. to £3 weekly
profit. Despite this income, which many
a clerk would envy, tales of distress are
frequent among them, owing to their uni
versal improvidence. Fish Is not so profit
able a line of business, partly owing to
the more perishable nature of the stock,
and a fish coster who is a "£2 man"aft
er reckoning up on Saturday night has
no cause to grumble at his week's work.
The profits of venders of penny toys,
puzzles and other articles so famllinr in
the Strand aud elsewhere vary according
to their cost, which ranges from 4d. to
7d. per dozen. A pound to 255. is reck
oned a good weekly earning, but during
the recent button craze energetic workers
had no difficulty In clearing double this
amount in some instances.
The gutter oilcloth merchant calculates
upon a profit of Gd. to Is. a piece, accord
ing to 6ize, and can dispose of 40 or 50
pieces In the course of a Saturday even
ing alone, to 6ay nothing of slacker busi
ness done during the rest of the week. A
street bookseller recently admitted that
he had "never cleared less than £2 a
week," and on further inquiry that does
not appear to be much above the aver
age. UTie proprietors of those miscella
neous stands to be found chiefly in the
East End, where everything from a violin
bow to a saucepan lid may be purchased,
have a difficulty In telling their profits,
as, owing to the nature of their stock,
some things sell rapidly while other ar
ticles lie on hand for months. That there
is money to be made at this trade is evi
dent from the fact that many of its fol
lowers are pointed out by their less fortu
nate brethren as being the owners of the
houses in which they live.—London Mail.
Elizabeth Resented It.
The reign of Victoria has often been
compared to aud contrasted with that of
Elizabeth, and it is one of the curious
coincidences of history, as well ns anoth
er illustration of the continuity of life in
England, that each great sovereign at an
interval of 300 years had for her chief
minister of state at the close of her reign
I Robert Cecil, Lord Salisbury.
When Queen Elizabeth had sunk into
her melancholy stage, refusing food and
sitting up day and night, supported by
pillows on a stool, Burleigh's son veu
tured to tell her she must goto bed.
"Must!" she cried. "Is 'must' a word
to be addressed to princes? I.ittle man.
little man! Thy father, if he had been
aMve, durst not have used that word
Thou art so presumptuous because thou
knowest I shall die."

In that old style town children ran riot,
and brutal drivers beat horses at will.
These are the things the women's
village improvement societies are
changing. Let us take one, as an ex
ample, in an eastern state. Here are
some of the things that club has done:
It has brought about that vacant lots
are no longer to be used as dumping
grounds for rubbish ami disease breed
ing debris. It has made the railway
station in particular as clean aud pret-
IMPROVED VILLAGE STREET,
ty as a private house with a flower and
shade tree lawn about it. It has at
tended to the beautifying of public
parks and walks, to the cleaning and
paving of the streets aud the drainage
and general sanitation of the whole
place. Wherever In the vicinity there
was natural scenery of an attractive
character those women had It preserved
and cared for. They divided themselves
into committees, each one taking a par
ticular work to itself aud attending to
that. The farms about the village have
caught the Impetus and are cutting
away the weeds from their fence lines
and removing the pigsties from their
front door vistas. The earth is becom
ing a thing of beauty for miles around
where these blessed women live. They
have created a public sentiment for bet
ter things.
There is a women's improvement
club in the far south, at Lake Charles,
near New Orleans. Here 18 ladies took
on themselves the task of redeeming
the rural aspects. They planted splen
did live oak trees along driveways;
they placed flowering shrubs along
park walks. Attached to their village,
as there is to most country places, was
an abandoned cemetery, with Its yank
weeds, sunken graves and broken
tombstones, a dank, nightmare spot,
suggestive of suicide and ghost riding.
The women had a bard task with that
—one which tried all their powers—
but they reconstructed the frightful old
place, aud they see that it Is kept In
order.
They turned their attention to the
schoolhoußes. They cleared up the
grounds about them, planted trees and
made the grass grow and taught the
young ones to take pride in having a
beautiful lawn around the building
outside and artistic wall and other
decorations Inside. Besides that they
obtained by subscriptions some valua
ble books for the public school libra
ries.
It Is well usually to have men as
members of these village Improvement
societies, to assist with their experi
ence and money. But the business
work of the organizations must in
nearly every case be done by women,
because men cannot spare the time for
it
Whether farm life and village life
shall be made attractive depends on
the country women. If they do what
is In their power, they can so improve
and beautify the landscape as to raise
the price of real estate In their neigh
borhoods. What is more, they can pre
vent to some extent the deplorable ex
odus of young people from the country
to the cities. JAJTE STORY.
"I like women," said a clear headed

Little Jack—Oh, mother, I do love

Mother (reprovingly)— You should not
say you "love" cake—say "like." Do
not say "awful"—say "very." Do nut
say "nice"—say "good." And, by the
way, the word "oh" should be omitted.
Now, my dear, repeat the sentence cor

VERDI'S FIRST LIBRETTIST.
The SiiiKiiliir Life ot Adventure of
Teuilatocle Soicro.
Verdi's fii\st librettist, Temistocle So
loro, liail so adventurous a life that it
reads like a romance of IMimas
He was lti a military school in Vienna,
placed there through the direct influence
of the Austrian emperor, when, tired of
the confinement, he ran away and joined
a gypsy band, going with them into Hun
gary, where he was eventually found by
the police. As he was being marched oft
ho met his brother, an officer in the Aus
trian army, who took htm under his care,
putting him in a college in Milan. From
there he was graduated and made no
acquaintance with Verdi, poor and lonely
as himself, for whom he wrote the libret
tos of five operas.
He afterward went to Spain ns direct
or of the orchestra. One evening at the
theater, hearing an officer insult Queen
Isabella, who was present, he turned and
boxed his ears. Upon this ensued a
scene of confusion. The queen, hearing
of Its cause, desired to see and speak
with her defender. Bolero, a handsome
man of most prepossessing manners, soon
became first favorite and had all Spain
at his feet. One day he discovered a con
spiracy against her majesty, led by Don
Francesco, her cousin. After that Solero's
life was no more safe, as seveial at
tempts were made to assassinate him, so
that even the queen advised him to re
turn to Italy, which he did. after spend
ing everything he had. He settled in
Milan, earning a precarious living by
writing, but a true Boheine, gay and
starving. For a few months he returned
to Spain and had his pockets well re
llned with gold, but on the homeward
journey by sea a storm arose, auU the
passengers escaped with only their lives,
so that he landed in Milan without a
penny.
Eighteen hundred and fifty-nine saw
him in Paris, confidential agent of Napo
leon 111, and on returning to the penin
sula he was sent against the brigands,
whom he dispersed. In 1809 he was
found in Egypt organizing the police, but
his restless temperament again inter
fered, and it was not long before he was
again in Milan, speculating with the for
tune which he had ntude. He new lost
everything and fell into extreme peverty.
From that moment the goddess of for
tune deserted him, and he died in 1873 in
Milau.
