"Wood Engraving.
The Invention of wood engraving, like
that of gunpowder, lias been claimed
for the Chinese, whose books have cer
tainly been printed for ages from en
graved blocks. It has even been as
serted that the art of cutting figures
In relief and printing impressions of
them on paper was known and prac
ticed by that nation as early as the
reign of the renowned Emperor Wu
that wood stamps were used by the
ancient Egyptians and Romans for
stamping bricks, and other articles
made of clay; and that wood and metal
stamps of monograms, etc., were used
in various European countries for at
testing deeds and other documents, at
a very early period, when writing was
considered an extraordinary accom
plishment, even for princes. It was not,
however, until the beginning of ths
fifteenth century that auy evidences of
wood engraving, as understood at this
day, were found. The earliest print of
which any certain information can be
obtained is that discovered in one of
the most ancient convents of Germany,
which represents St. Christopher carry
ing the infant Savior across the sea,
and is dated 1423. This art was em
ployed In illustrating many of the early
editions of the Bible, and with rapid
strides has at length reached a degree
or perfection which is truly wonderful,
as may be seen by reference to numer
ous works to be found In libraries or
books, tho lights and shades and other
minutiae of the engravings comparing
favorably with those done upon steel
or copper.
Tough Inick for the Cznrina.
Women who have suffered at the
hands of dilatory and inefficient dress
makers will learn with Joy that royalty
Itself cannot always command even its
coronation robes. For many months
the most skilled workers of embroidery
In the Russian convents were hard at
work, embroidering, In delicate gold
and silver, on white satin, the corona
tion train of the Czarina. As it was so
enormously long, it had to be worked
in separate pieces and sent to St. Pet
ersburg to be pieced together. Judge
of the consternation of the court mis
tresses when the precious parcel was
unwrapped. All the beautiful silver
threads had turned black! Not Nihi
lists, but corrosive acid In the wrap
plug paper had caused the calamity,
nnd the Empress of all ttie Russias
had to be crowned in a comparatively
plain frock.

Could wo but see tho flowers fair.
That bloom nrouod us everywhere,
And with their perfume fill tho air,
Wo would not rush so fast along
To mingle with the frantic throng
That crush with wanton haste
The roses by tho way, intent
On phantom pleasures, not content
With present joys by heaven sent
And life's best treasures waste
But, halting oft besido the way.
At fancy's promptings we would stray
Whoro lulling brooks 'mid arbors plaj'i
Or daily 'mong tho spreading troos,
With brow bared to tho soothing breeze,
And rest awhile and dream
'Neath retrospection's shaded bower
In tonder blade aud budding flower,
Of nature's book, at noontide's hour,
We'd wonder well the theme.
Thus far from all that sears and blights J
We'd learn to know those pure delights
That raise tho soul to nobler heights.
Thus, far from all tho blare and noise
Of jostling crowd, illusive joys
Aud empty honor's quest,
E'er pausing oft beside the wuy,
In peace we'd journey day by day
And at life's end, content, we'd lay
Us calmly down to rest.

THE COLONEL'S 1 DAUGHTER,
BY GEOBSES OHNET^
M S Bhe entered tho
Ik room nt the Gener
al si's soirees smiling,
j \ fresh, it murmur of
N admiration went up
W _ /J/S from the groups of
officers crowded in
jsV *° " 10 doorways.
w as followed
SgJpSl by her mother, n
Jjp' little over-dressed,
n ft# as is usual with wo
tijj Kj mon who havo a'.-
IK ways lived in the
provinces, who
shook her white curls with pride as if
to say : "This is my daughter," Next
came the Colouel ot' the 123 d, pleas
ant, modest, intent on keeping off the
trains of the ladies.
Scarcely was the girl seated when a
platoon of Lieutenants and Captains
in their dress uniforms, with mus
taches browu aud blond, eyes modest
or bold, made au assault upon her list
of dances. There in the dazzling
light, to the sound of sweet music, Bhe
danced, light and graceful.
All were eager to please her. Her
desires were commands; her caprices,
laws. A Colonel's daughter! Well
they knew that when the lists for pro
motion were made out a careless
eulogy from her, us, "Ah! Lieutenant
So-aud-h'o; such a charming officer
and delightful waltzer!" might decide
a career.
She was just twenty-two and her
life had been all gala days, traveling
over France with the garrison, with
banners flying aud bugles sounding.
Her mother began to grow impatient;
she wanted her daughter to marry.
But between the girl and her admirers
a formidable barrier arose upon which
was written the inexorable word,
"Portionless." And the officers flirt
ed, laughed, danced, but never seemed
to think of marriage.
To please the Colonel's daughter for
the sake of present enjoyment was well
enough. To carry matters as far as
marriage was auother song whose air
not one of them seemed disposed to
learn, at least not one who was re
ceived with favor. For about a year
t >e girl had had a timid, shrinking ad
mirer whom sha openly ridiculed uf
ter the l'ushiou of coquettes.
This lover was a large, boyisli fel
low with a red mustache nud'klne eyes,
a native of Lorraine and educated at
the Baiut-Muxeut school. Ho hud
joined the army at the age of eighteen,
had been wounded at the battle of
Coulmiers, and wore a medal. The
other officers looked upon him ns an
iuferior because he had not been
trained at Saint Cyr. Of peasautpar
eutage, he was robust and sturdy,little
incliued to talk, though well informed.
Brilliant on the field, he felt oat of
his olemeut in a drawing room. He
scarcely know how to danco. The fear
of appearing impolite had once in
duced him to ask the young lady for a
dance. But ho hart so mixed up the
figures of the cotillion by his lack of
Bkill that he never attempted it a sec
ond time. He would moro wiilingly
have faced a battery in action than all
those mocking smiles.
Hidden in a window recess, for
hours ho watched his adored one
waltzing with vivacity and grace.
Sometimes he was bold enough to ap
proach the mother and engage in con
versation. This was the extent of his
advances.
With feelings of bitter cuvy he saw
his comrades hovoringaround tho girl,
each trying his best to secure favor.
He said to himself: "Some day I shall
hear that she is to marry some of
these favored ones; then all will be
over." In the desolate silence of his
chamber ho gavo up to his despair.
He tried to lesson with himself. How
foolish ho was to even think of this
spoiled child of fortune, suited only
to luxurious surroundings. She was
not intended for a poor oflicer.
But in spite of himself his thoughts
Hew towards her. He saw her in his
dreams smiling and whirling in the
dance. She seemed to beckon to him
with irritating coquetry. He thought,
"Who knows ; she might accept me!"
At the thought his heart beat so fast
that he was nearly stifled.
At last he could contain himself no
longer. His life became unondurablo.
He went to the Major, who had always
taken an interest in him, and begged
him to sound the Colonel on the sub
ject of marriage with his daughter,
without making a formal proposal.
He passed that day on the borders of
the Swiss lake in tho garden at Ver
sailles, watching the oarp jump in the
sun, and the future looked very dark
before him.
That eveuing the Major took him
aside and Baid briefly:
"I have seen tho Colonel; he was
courtesy itself, and here is his answer:
'Your protege has not a cent; my
daughter has no dowry; it would be
to unite hunger and thirst.' He was
right. Forget tho young lady. If
you feel disappointed, console your
self with studying military tactics."
The Lieutenant thanked hun, but ho
did not try to console himself. As
officers were needed to go to Tonquin,
he offered his services. Tho follow
ing week he embarked at Brest. And
while with a bursting heart he was
borne away from France on the heav
ing waves of a stormy sea, the young
girl, happy and thoughtless, danced
in the bright, light, careless of all but
hei joy.
Two years had passed away. The
General still gave brilliant fetes at his
elegaut home, but the young girl who
had formerly turned all heads was
seen there no more. The Colonel of
the 123 d had died suddenly, just as he
was about to receive his stare. A
monotonous life had succeeded the
gay one led by his wife and daughter.
All the brilliant officers who had hov
ered around had disappeared with the
pleasure and gayety. The new Colonel
also had a wife and daughter; these
new rulers received all the attention,
while lor the old ones was reserved
the distant bow in tho stroots, then
the sadden passing on.
The widow and her daughter ex
changed a bitter smile on these occa
sions as they continued their walk.
They went into the park to eujoy the
sunshine ot a fine autumn which
glided the marble statues and the
turning leaves of the great horse-chest
nuts. They sat down, and listening
to the military band seemed to sue a
gleam of their lost happiness. It
seemed to thorn as if nothing had
changed, and as if they might hear be
hind them auy moment the Colonel's
voice saying: "Good afternoon,
ladies; to-day the 121 th is giving the
concert; its music does not equal
ours."
But tho shouts of children playing
on the grass near by was the only
souud they heard. The mother, with
a sigh, tried to read the paper
through glasses dimmed by tears,
while the daughter oast a longing
glance toward her former admirers,
who scarcely knew her now. Sho was
nearly twenty-five, but her face re
fined by sorrow was moro beautiful
than ever. Bhe was like a flower re
freshed and purified by a storm. Sue
had lost all that had made her so
capricious aud disquieting. Grave
and sweet, she seemed to be doing
penance for her past.
One day she saw a new face among
tho officers who promenaded past,
smoking, chatting and laughing. In
a moment she was transported to tho
General's ballroom, and she saw again
her timid lover motionless in a corner,
devouring her with his eyes.
"Mamma, there is tho Lieutenant!"
He Baw her too, for he grew pale, and
with kepi in baud came up to her.
The widow hastily folded her paper
and, pointing to a vacant chair, said,
with a kindly smile :
"Ah ! is that you, Lieutenant? What
a long time since we have met. We
are truly glad to see you. But pardon
me; I called you Lieutenant, but I see
you bnve a stripe on your
sleeve."
Then blushing ho related how at the
end of a six months' campaign ho had
been promoted to a Captaincy after
the affair of Nain-Dimh. After that ho
had been shut up in Tuyen-Quau with
his commander. This terrible siege
lastod five weeks, and they had to con
stantly beat back the furious Chinese,
whoso living waves dashed against the
walls of the ruined fortress. He had j
been wounded the last day in a ;
supreme effort; then from afar, above ■
the clamor ol the yellow hordes, ho I
had heard the bugler of the French \
sounding a deliverance. Oti, the joy |
of that moment! Ho saw the enemy s
Hee, the tricolor appear, then he sank i
down without regret. j
His condition appeared so serious ,
that ho was seut back decorated with t
the cross. During the voyage he had \
rapidly recovered, and on his arrival 5
he found that he had been recom
mended for promotion to tbe rank of
Major. The ladies listened in silence.
The mother, with tier knowledge of
tho profession, kuew that he was ten 1
years in advance of his former com- f
rades. The daughter looked eloselv !
at the young man and found him
scarcely recognizable ; his pallor gave 11
him a decidedly distinguished air. }
Was it possible they had ever dis
dained this brave soldier who, paying J
for his honors with his blood, had re
turned to au assured future!
He too looked critically at the girl.
Could the serious, reflective woman
before him bo the frivolous, capricious
girl he had once known? She was a
thousand times more attractive to him
in her new guise. She was all he had
ever dreamed of and he was tilled with
a wild delight. Their eyes met, and
his were tilled with such adoration
that tho girl's lids drooped in em
barrassment. When evening came the
women nrose, and the officer accom
panied them to their home. They
met regularly in tho park on the days
that followed. The mother read the
papers and the young people talked.
As autumn advanced and the yellow
leaves covered the walks it was too
chilly to sit, so they promenaded up
and down the deserted park, happy in
each other's company.
December passed in an intimacy
daily growing moro tender. Still at
times the Captain seemed nervous and
worried. One day, losing his usual
self-control, ho pressed the girl's arm
which was passed through his, and the
expression of his eyes made her be
lieve that he was about to declare his
love. He was silent, however, and fell
into a gloomy moditr' ion.
His agitation increased as the new
year approached. He mule fr quent
trips to Paris and neglected tho ladies.
They feared they had been deceived as
to his intentions, and could not ac
count for his behavior.
At six o'clock on the evening of De
cember 31, the widow sat reading the
papers which contained a list of tho
promotions in tho army. Suddenly
she exclaimed :
"Here is his name. He has been
promoted!"
At the same moment hurried foot
stops were heard in the hall. The door
was thrown open and the oue so long
expected entered the room. Ho smiled,
flushed with pleasure. He paused be
fore the two women. The widow said,
extending her hand:
"My dear boy, so this is what wor
ried you so."
In reply he turned towards the girl
and said with loving pride:
"Mademoiselle, I have a future now
to offer you. I love you. Will you
be my wife?"
She grew pale at the remembrance
of her lirst refusal; then thinking of
all this bravo boy had dono to deserve
happiness she went close to him, laid
her head on bis shoulder,and with her
l>l>s pressed against the rough galloon
so valiantly earned, she wept for joy.
—Short Stories.
How Coflee Was Discovered.
Tho following is given as the orig
inal discovery of coffso: Near tho
middle of tho fifteenth century a poor
Arab was traveling through Abyssinia,
and, finding himself weak and weary
from fatigue, ho stopped near a grove.
Then, being in waut of fuel to cook
his rice, he cut down a tree which hap
pened to be covered with dead berries.
His meal being cooked and eaten, the
traveler discovered that tho half
burned berries were very fragrant. lie
collected a number of theso, and, on
crushing them with a stone, he found
that their aroma increased to a great
extent.
While wondering at this he accident
ally let tall the substance in a can
I which coutained his scanty supply of
water. Lo! what a miracle! The al
most putrid water was almost instantly
purified. Ho brought it to his lips.
It was fresh, agroeable, and in a mo
ment after the traveler had so far re
covered his strength and energy as to
bo able to resume his journey. The
lucky Arab gathered as many berries
as ho could and, having arrived at
Aden, in Arabia, he informed tho
rausti of his discovery. That worthy
divine was an inveterate opium smok
er, who had been suffering for years
from tho influonce of that poisonous
drug. He tried au infusion of tho
roasted btrries, and was so delighted
at the recovery of his own vigor that,
in gratitude of the tree, ho called it
Cahuah, which in Arabia signifies
force.—San Francisco Chronicle.
A (viant Ifalloon Fisli.
Who has ever heard of a balloon
fish? Not the little, puffing fellows
that are so annoying to modest an
glers fishing from a dock or small
boat, but a huge monster that plows
the seas far away from land, and one
who is a worthy compeer of the great
unknown and bighlyjrespocted sea ser
pent.
Captain Slooum, of the schooner
Saladin, out from Jacinel, Hayti*
while in latitude twenty-six degrees
north, longitude seventy-five degrees
west, descried to the eastward an ob
ject which at first he supposed to be
the wreck of a small vessel. Alter
ing his course, he ran down to the
supposed wreck, a distance of about
five miles. The following extract
from tho ship's logbook will explain
the adventure:
'Time, 7:30 am., June 4, at 6 a.
m.the object wan first seen—weather
murky—and at 7 a. m. we came up to
it. It proved to be a large and
vicious looking sea monster, such as 1
had never seen or heard of at any
time. The body appeared to be about
forty feet long and the tail shout
sixty feet, with forked ends, each
fork about four feet long. It had two
feot, or fins, not unlike those of a
sea serpent. The creature stood about
tw< ivo feot high out of the water, and
wn i fully forty feot in breadth."—New

Facts About Human Idle.
There are 3061 languages in the
world, and its inhabitants profess
more than 1000 religions. The num
ber of men is about equal to the num
ber of women. The averago of life is
about thirty-three years. To 1006
persons only one reaches 100 years of
life; to every 100 six reach the age of
sixty-five, and not more than one in
600 lives to eighty years. There are
on the earth 1,000,000,000 inhabitants.
Of these 33,033,033 die every year,
01,821 every day, 3730 every hour,
Bixty every minute or one every sec
ond. The married are longer-lived
than the single, and above nil those
who observe a sober and industrious
conduct. Tall men live longer than
short ones. Women have more chances
of life in their favor previous to fifty
years of age than men have, but fewer
afterward. The number of marriages
is in the proportion of seventy-five to
1060 individuals. Those born in the
spring are generally of a more robust
constitution than others. Births are
more frequent by night than by day ;
also deaths. The number of men cap
able of bearing arms is calculated at
one-fourth of the population.
New Houses Arc Damp.
Sanitarians give warning that new
houses should not be occupied for
several months after they aro com
pleted. There is a large amount of
water incorporated with the building
materials, and this should be given
ample time for evaporation. Ventil
ation is imperfect when the walls are
tilled with moisture. The lack of ven
tilation and the dampness of such
dwellings are causes of much Bickness.
RAICED UNDER SPARTAN RULE.
The Lifo o;' the Kaiser's Children Is
Not One of Idleness.
la the Spartan upbringing of his
children the Kaiser rivals his ancestor,
Friederich Wilhelm, of Prussia. The
life of the royal children at Berlin is
not sweetened by hours of Inactivity.
In their years of Infancy the Kaiserin
ministers to almost all their wants,
spends a good part of the day with
them, and enters into all their amuse
ments. When the princes arrive at the
age of 9, things are changed, and it is
all work. They are then allowed about
an hour and a half out of their waking
hours to themselves; nl! the rest of
theii day is spent in study and physical
training. Even in holiday time their
tutors accompany them to superintend
their studies. Here, for example, is an
ordinary day's work for the crown
prince and his two brothers:
In summer the happy dreams of
childhood are disturbed at f> o'clock, in
winter at 7. Breakfast, consisting of
one cup of tea and a roll, is served at
7:30. From 8 till 0:30 they are hard at
work at lessons, to help the digestiou
of which they are supplied with a sec
ond Fru lis tuck of bread, with water
tinged with red wine. Immediately af
terwards they start on their books
again, but mental exercise Is mixed
wlto physical, and an hour is spent in
gymnastics and horse exercise, which
last# till 1:15. Thereupon they accom
pany to diuuer the militury and civil
governors of the castle, and. follow
ing this, they have a brief breathing
time to themselves. But the happy mo
ments soon flee away, and again they
have to he at their exercises—this time
science and music, till 0 o clock. Then
supper Is served, and by 8 o'clock they
I are al! snug in bed.
In sport and other manly exercises
they are profieient. and ran ride as
j we'l without a saddle as most people
can with. Their military education is
also pushed to the utmost, and, that
they should understand the principles
of war thoroughly, a miniature fortress
has been built for them of solid mason
ry; the walls are nine feet high, and
i t revolving towers the beleaguered
have the opportunity of repelling hos
tilities by means of miniature Ivrupp
guns and all the latest implements of
modern warfare.
A part of their education is also de
voted to the gentler arts of peace. In
the royal gardens each child has a plot
of ground, and each is his own garden
er and is responsible to headquarters
for the maintenance of the said plot.
After a riding lesson, too. they are
not. allowed to throw the reins of the
ponies to a groom and then walk off.
Every prince has to take his pony to
its stall, unsaddle It, and put every- !
thing in Its proper place before leaving.
The Best.
It lias long been a moot point whether
single or married men make the best
soldiers. Some maintain that the lack
of wife and family tends to make a man
more reckless of his life, therefore a
good soldier. Others say that the mar
ried man is almost a veteran when lie
enters the ranks, being inured to com
bat, therefore a good soldier. In the
recent Tunisian campaign a French
colonel was questioned upon this point.
"Both are right." said lie. "Look yon
der. I)o you see that battalion of hap
py. devil-may-care fellows? They are
all single men. and they would take
their lives in their hands. But look
again. Do you see those taciturn, som
bre, gloomy-looking men there? They
are all married, and In a hand-to-hand
tight they are terrors." "What is the
name of the battalion?" asked the en
quirer. "They are called," said the
Colonel, gravely, "The Children of De
spair."
