In most of the many portraits of the kaiser the bangle is brought into special promi- nence by the position of the arm. But though addicted to the bangle, he nev: condescended to the earving, wh formerly was very commonly worn among his offlcers, In the time of Fredorick William IL., when the German army was resting on the laurels of the great Frederick, dan- dies flourished in great numbers among the officers, in spite of severe official The mon- sitics and extravagances differed but slightly from those of today—sharp- pointed toes, ridiculously high colors and short overcoats without seams.

A Good Story Which Was Told by a Louls- ville Minister, That was a good story which Rev. C. J. K. Jones of Louisville told in a Bos- ton pulpit the other day, says the Jour- nal. He said: ‘‘An arlarmist always reminds me of a friend of mine who was a commander at the battle of Round mountain. It was a hot fight—one of the hottest of the war. At a particularly intense part of the ac- tion my friend stood beside his horse scanning the field with his glass and di- recting the troops. He told me it seemed as if the fire of the whole con- federacy was centered on him, the bul- lets flying thick around him, “Suddenly he felt a minie ball singing in the air and he feit something strike his leg. But the occasion was urgent and he kept up his glass. There was another ‘pin-z-z’ and he felt another strike. And so it continued. “The captain at lastlifted up his hand and prayed: ‘Oh Lord, I can go home to my wife and children without either of my legs, but, oh, Lord, let me get home.’ “Finally there cams the shouts of vietory. The battle was won. With a long drawn osigh the captian turned. He shouted to his orderly at a little dis- tance; ‘I'm wounded, Jim. Come and help me on my horse; I must go home, Iv's my last battle.” ‘**No, I guess,’ replied the orderly. ““What's the matter? Come, hurry up, I'm wounded.’ *“If you want me to help you, come hers,’ sing out the orderly. ‘* ‘But what's the trouble? Why can’t you come here? Don't you sce I'm Wounded and almost dying? +:'Oh, no, you arve not,’ sang out the orderly again. *‘Come here instantly, you rascall’ shouted the commander, **‘No, I don't; that'’s the biggest nest of yellow jackets there I ever saw in my lifé, was the final laughing reply of tho orderly., “TPhe storming swarm of hornets were the only minie balls that had struck him Al INGERSOLL TAKEN DOWN, Simon Cameron Was Upset with the Thoughts of Eloquent Atheism, The mention of Colonel Bob Ingey- soll's name recalls a touthing story of Washington life. One cheerless, rainy night, says the Chicago Record, the ven- erable Simon Cameron was sitting in the office of theilkbbitt house, gazing out through the window into the fog and darkness. He was lost in thought and his face was the picture of melancholy. Presently Colonel Ingersoll enter “What hast happened, general?” he asked. “You look as if you'd just lost your last friend.” “Ah, Bob,” said the old man, with a sigh, *'I have just seen a cruel, pitiable sight. An agéd and crippled soldier was painfully climbing up the strect yonder and was making some progress, When along came a big double-fisted, bread-shouldered fellow and kicked the crutehes out from under the old cripple, leaving him feeble and _helpless, to pick himself up as best he could.” 0"l would to God I had been here!” cried Ingersoll angrily. “I'd have trounced the ruffian! I never heard of 80 brutal an outrage! What, abuse an old and crippled man like that! I'd make qaick work of the brute!” “Wait a moment, Bob,” interposed old Simon Cameron gently, “I was that aged and crippled veteran, and I was toiling along to my grave. Ana it was you, Bob, who came across my path and iickud from under me the crutche; that supported me in that last journey.” Colonel Ingersoll made no answer; the old man coatinued tolook mournfully out into the night. e Courtland beach, fireworks on the 4th.

Centenninl, Here is a vretty little fancy and really novel one—a historical bookmarker, says the New York Horald. To any one seek- ing a unique gift for a friend " it is quite worthy of attention, and it has the de- cided uncommon merit that it may be just as costly or inexpensive as one chooses to make it Should you decide to dedicate it to the Columbian year let tho narrow ribbons be one red, one white, one blue, the cen- ter one about eighteen inches in length, the other two a trifle lc Attach to them some of the coins issued if they can be obtained; if not, let the coins bear the date of 1892 or 1893. A charming souvenir would be a Columbian half dol- lar and two of the Isabella quarters. Antique or rare coins also possess especial interest. When ribbons of rich, dark colors or different_colors are used the hand- somest effect is secured with one coin of gold and two of silver, or vice versa, rather " than all of one metal. A - slight difference in the size of the coins is also usually more effective. For instance, with dark blue ribbons a shining silver dime, with the yellow gold of & dollar glittering on cither side, looks well. If one wishes something almost equally pretty, but of less value, a dazzling new cent flanked by silver half dimes meets the require- ments. Very dainty are the ribbons of rose l)ink and pale blue weighted with spot- ess silver, while witha white ribbon gold affords a desirable contrast. Where the souvenir consists of valuable coins one shoultd proeure from a silversmith a small top bar in silver or_gold, but for more modest affuirs the vibbons at the | top can be tied in a pretty bow or intoa | gilt curtain ring. A fancy bead may conceal the end of ribbon to which the coin s attached, but a fine chain passed through the tiny hole drilled in the coin-is perhape prettier. It is quite evident that this little arrangement may be varied to suit the taste of whoever is toreceive it, whether historically inclined or otherwise. Wild camels Have lately Arizona, and there has been st lation” as to their . They were imported nearly forty years ago, when Jefferson Davis was secretary of war under the Pierce administration. It was thought they would be valuable for use in the “Great American desert” which was commonly supposed to be something like the desert of Arvabia and of Sahara in Africa. They were found service- able, but the war coming on the camels were lost sight of, became wild and have considerably increased in numbers, It is said that the camel endures extreme cold better than extreme heat, its only advant~ge for hot desert countries being that it can drink at once enough water to last two or three day The camel i said to be a more effective worker in many places than the horse or mule. Its feet will not stand havd roads, and it can, therefore, never be used for farm- ing purposes except in wild,uncultivated districts. Big sh Little Fisl Such fierce carnivorous fishes as exist in the depths of the ocean are unknown at the surface. 'There is the “‘black swallower,” which “devours other finny creatures ten times as bigas itself, liter- ally climbing over its victim, first with one jaw and then with the other. An- other species is nearly all mouth, and having no power of locomotion, it lives buried in the soft ooze at the bottom, its head alone protruding, ready to engulf any prey that may wander into its cay- ertous jaws. Thero is a ferocious kind of shark, resembling a huge eel. All of these monsters are vlack as ink, Some of them are perfectly blind, while others have enormous gogpling eyes. No ray of sunlight ever pierces the dark, un- fathomed caves in which they dwell, Each species is gobbled by the species next bigger, for there is no vegetable life to feed on. | pleasur Big Waek In Omahs Boginning Monday we expect A gll'N ON PIANOS, Depositors can safely invest their money in following bargains, have the principal in sight, get interest from the use and pleasure derived.

The great event of the year is cl on the sheep ranches of the prair shearing time—writes an Abilene, Kan., correspondent. By the thousand the fleeces have been robbed from the bucks of the bleating flocks, and after a little while all of the flafly beauty that made the great flocks so attractive will be gone, and the animals in their angular, shaven condition will look like very ghosts of themselves, Simple, in a way as the operation is, it is very well worth secing when sheep are handled, not as in the east in *‘bunches™ ot fifty or sixty, but in the great masses that turn many square rods of prairie into a woolly sen. No occasional sheaver has charge of the prairie or *vape of the flecce.” There are regular bands who move from ranch to ranch, camping at each during the season, from April 1 to June 1. While in camp the workmen improve minute, for the job is * the head,” 6 cents to 10 cents, according to the fincness of the wool. Where an expert shearer can clip sixty to 100 Moxican sheep, running his shears through their long, light wool and hav- ing no work on legs or belly, the merino and Cotswold present an entirely differ- ent problem. The wrinkles that lap over one another from nose to tail and the greasy wool that grows thickly down to the very hoofs make fifteen to twenty-five a big day's work. With the shearers ranged along a beneh reaching across the shed, with the bleating animals undergoing the to them severe operation and the anx- ious ones outside awaiting their turn, the scene is alively one. When a sheep is sheared a call of ““Tar!” brings the tar boy, and a daub of black is put hastily on each spot where the carcless s} have snipped out a picce of the skin. Then the e of identif mes a brand is put on in_paint on the hip—usually the owner’s initials or a monogram. if the flock L *'scab,” a di case resembling cezema, each animal is ipped.” A tub of strong solution of » and water or some similar ma- terial is provided and the b goes under, head and all, killing inscets that may infest it and i time the made by sheep's flesh. sces are cubes a foot ea in the white, clean side from next the sheep on the outside, the soiled portion folded carefully within. A huge seven feet long and threo fect in d ter, is hung up between four poles and the wool thrown in, a small boy being put in also to tramp down the accum lating fleeces. When full the sack weighs from 180 to 300 pounds, depend- ing on the quality of the wool.: When 100 such bales are sent out from a single ranch it means a considerable income, wool bringing on the plains from 15 to 20 cents a pound. But the work of the ‘“‘shearing bees," as the spring festivals are sometimes called, is nothing compared to the that surround them men engaged. What a barn raising toa New Englander, what hop har is among the lls, is the shearing e plains ranch. Then it is t what little Joy comes inty the lon 'y tedium of a herdsman’s life found. The friendly s at the shear- ing table arc not the least of this. They brighten up the hours and the ™ record of being the best shearer in the camp is no slight honor. But when the day is done, when the big shed door, redolent with the woolly odor and shining as if xed from the oil of the fleeces, is swept clean and lanterns dispel in part the gloom that lingers around the rafters, the real fun Invitations are sent out to and ranchmen around, and in they come, from twenty miles some times, t0 have an evening of enjoyment’ The dresses of the evening are not of the latest style—indced, they might be laughed at even in well out” west —but they harmonize with trousers in boots, wide-collared shirts, belts and spurs of the cavaliers. There is no thought of dress, so it eompovts with the occasion. The iciuns oecupy boxes on the sheal beneh and saw restlessly at their grimy violins. The dance is ready. There is much pic- turesqueness in the scene, for it all is character of the new west—the only fronticr that now ex night wears away rapidly, and the lunch that i ed i3 cagerly disposed of. There are no ices or fancy cakes; indeed, o very ordinary sponge cake is apt to be the greatest delicacy on the table, or on the benches, for there the supper is served. However, to those who have seen only stale bread and corned beef for ten months it seems like the daintiest of angel’s food. que Sentence, Mr. :¢ Maul of San Frai once addressed a phenomenon of inr cence as follow “Prisoner at the bar, your counsel thinks you innocent: the counsel for tho prosecution thinks you i cent; I think you innocent.

Bruln Was Lassood and Tied to a Treo Bes fore He Was Shot, One of the largest grizzly bears over i in the state of Washington was ssoed and afterwards shot near Asotin, in the Pulouse country, on the other side of the Cascade mountains, a few days ago, by Henry and Frank Hanson, The two men were riding along the river hills looking for stock when they came unexpectedly upon the big grizzly, who was moving slowly along in the road. Bruin heard the tramp of the hovses and stopped long enough to turn his head in the direction of the aps proaching team and utter a long growl, Then he went swaggering along at a little faster puce than he had been going. The two brothers examined their rifles cavefully and put spurs to their horses. When they got within a faw yards of the bear he rose upon his haunches and diss pluyed his tecth sygnificantly. While he was doing this the men got their rawhide lariats and in an instant Henry Hanson had his lariat around bruin's neck. His brother quickly locatod the noose of his laviat in the same place. The g made one pass with his paw and broke one of the laviats as if it had been a common picee of twine. Ho tricd hard to reach the other larviat with his paws, but he couldn't, and in a few mo- ments he was fighting mad. He bit and clawed around, but he could not get away. The lariat had been wound around a tree and Harry Hanson took a position where he could get good aim and shot the struggling animal. It took five shots to kill hiuw P Sy Gormun In Austrin.
