A Pauper Veteran. Henry Smith, who, with his dearly beloved silver medal always pinned to the breast of his coat, has for years been a conspicuous figure in this village, having been left alone in the world by the death of his wife, and, owing to his crippled condition, being no longer able to earn a subsistence, will spend the rest of his days in the Genesee county poorhouse. He is a veteran of the Crimean war and bears the scars of wounds received at Alma, Balaklava, Inkerman and Sevastopol. He served all through that war in the famous Grenadier guards.

He was a witness of the historic charge of the Light brigade. The medal he wears is one of those presented to the ungazetted heroes of the Crimean campaign by the British government for gallantry in the four battles named, the medal being surmounted by four bars, each bar representing a battle, with the respective inscriptions Alma, Balaklava, Inkerman and Sevastopol upon them.--Morganville (N. Y.) Dispatch.

France's Army of Good Looking Men. It is stated that every year the conceils de revision examine from 350,000 to 370,000 young men. Of these, 32,000 are exempted as unfit for any kind of duty, 38,00 are classed in the auxiliary departments owing to defects which render them unfit to serve in the different regiments, while upward of 65,000 are sent home to await a fresh examination. The men who are accepted for regimental duty and those who contract voluntary engagements in France amount to from 210,000 to 220,000 per annum. It may be quoted, by the way, that "extreme ugliness" is on the list of the various deficits and infirmities dis-

qualifying men for military service, among which also figure short height, stammering, slight lameness and an excess or the reverse of the regulation number of fingers and toes.--Paris Cor-

respondent.

Unfamiliar With the Bible.

Mr. John T. Gray, clerk of the court of common pleas, began to issue the annual licenses on Monday, and including yesterday about $24,000 had been received. The clerks were dazed yesterday when a woman applicant for a license picked up the Bible from the counter and inquired what book it was. When Mr. Sylvanus Gray found on inquiry that the woman did not know the nature of the book, he wrapped the Bible in paper and made her a present of it.--Baltimore Sun.

TREATMENT BY INHALATION! 1529 Arch St., Philad'a, Pa.

For Consumption, Asthama, Bronchitis, Dyspepsia, Catarrh, Hay Fever, Headache, Debility, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, And all Chronic and Nervous Disorders.

It has been in use for nearly a quarter of a century. Thousands of patients have been treated, and more than 1000 physicians have used it and recommended it. It is agreeable. There is no nauseous taste, nor aftertaste, nor sickening smell.

We give below a few of the great number of testimonials which we are constantly receiving from those who have tried it, published with the express permission in writing of the patients.

"Please accept my sincere gratitude for the restored life of happiness and health and vigor and usefulness that the Compound Oxygen has certainly given me. "While I was always considered a healthy child, I was known to be dyspeptic from babyhood. It was inherited. For two years I was confined almost constantly to the lounge. For more than four years I did not know a moment free from pain. All this time dyspepsia continued its ravages, except when temporarily relieved, and aggravated other serious disorders.

My friends and physicians thought I would not recover. To-day I am entirely cured of dyspepsia, can enjoy articles of food that I never dared use before in all my life. For the past year I have been up and going in ease and health, with sufficient vigor to take some part in domestic work of the most laborious nature. As my strength continues to improve, since leaving off Oxygen, I feel that I can conscientiously recommend the treatment, not only to cure (provided the doctors' directions are observed), but to be lasting in its beneficial effects. "MISS JAMIE MAGRUDER. "Oak Hill, Florida."

"The Oxygen Treatment you sent me for C. O. Harris, a year ago, one of my missionaries from West Africa, whose life was in jeopardy on ac-

count of lung trouble and a severe cough, he now testifies has greatly benefited him. He has entirely recovered his health, married a wife, returned to his work in Africa, and taken his wife with him.

Bishop WILLIAM TAYLOR. 150 Fifth Avenue, New York, N. Y.

"Compound Oxygen.. Its Mode of Action and Results" is the title of a book of 200 pages published by Drs. Starkey & Palen, which gives to all inquirers full information as to this remarkable curative agent, and a record of surprising cures in a wide range of cases--many of them after being abandoned to die by other physicians. Will be mailed free to any address on application.

A PRINCE WITH PLUCK. He Gave Up Rank and Titles For Love of His Wife. Prince Rudolph of Thurn and Taxis has, according to a recent announcement in The Imperial Gazette at Vienna, abandoned his rights to the style and dignity of a prince of Thurn and Taxis and will henceforth be known by the name of Baron von Broskow, a title which has been conferred upon him by Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria.

The prince has consented to this sur-

render for the purpose of assuring to his plebeian born wife and children an-

nuities in perpetuity from the family property. The prince, or the baron, as I should call him now, is quite poor, therefore glad to provide for his wife's future. At the same time it must be confessed that he is a very remarkable

man. He was the first Austrian prince to go through the university course and to graduate as a doctor of law, and for a time distinguished himself in politics, taking the part of the Czechs against the Germans, much to the disgust of his family, who belong to the opposite camp.

In 1857, being at the time a young fellow of about 30, he fell in love with a beautiful actress of the name of Jennie Standler, whom he made his wife, to the intense disgust of his relatives.

The result was that he was immediately disowned by them and his allowance stopped. Realizing that life under these circumstances would be impossible in Austrian Bavaria, he determined to leave

the country and to settle abroad, where he would be able to earn his livelihood without being subjected to any persecu-

tion or annoyance on the part of his relatives or their friends. He migrated to Philippopolis, and availing himself of the degree of doctor of law he commenced practicing at the bar under the name of Dr. Taxis, but observed strict secrecy concerning his real name and rank. After a time he became the dis-

trict attorney of the city and is now the chief judge of eastern Roumelia, which is the southern portion of the Hungarian principality.

Dr. Taxis lived happily and undisturbed until last year, when one of the princes of Schwartzenberg, who has been on a visit to Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria at Sofia, happened to make the acquaintance of Dr. Taxis and fell in love with his eldest daughter, the affection developing into one of a mutual character. The interest thus originating led Prince Schwartzenberg to make inquiries concerning the families of his ladylove and on discovering the iden-

tity of the Bulgarian judge he at once urged upon him to take steps toward the recovery of his rank as well as the share in the fortune of the family to which he was entitled under the stat-

utes of his house.

After considerable hesitation Dr. Taxis, perceiving that his daughter's happiness depended in a great measure upon her marriage to Prince Schwartzenberg, and

that the realization of the union was contingent to a certain extent upon his coming to an understanding with his own family, put forward his claim to his share of the Thurn and Taxis entailed property.

This claim was contested by the chief of the family, who is married to an Austrian archduchess, whose mother was the elder sister of the empress, jilted by the emperor for her sake, and who is perhaps in consequence of all this the favorite nephew--almost like a son, indeed--to the imperial couple. The young prince pointed out that his cous-

in, Dr. Taxis, had forfeited his rights to any participation in the property of the family, owing to his having violated its statutes by marrying in defiance of the prohibition of the head of the house a woman of plebeian birth who had been on the stage.

The intervention of the emperor was thereupon invoked, and inasmuch as Dr. Taxis cares but little for his princely title and aims principally at making a suitable financial provision for his wife and children he has agreed to a compromise suggested by the emperor, whereby he surrenders both for himself, his wife and his children the title of Prince and Princess of Thurn and Taxis, receiving in lieu thereof from the em-

peror the title and name of Baron von Broskow, and from the head of the house a large annuity in perpetuity for himself and his descendants.--Marquis de Fontenay in New York Recorder.

Invention of the Fan.

The poets of the Celestial empire attribute the invention of the fan to one of their emperors--Wu Wang--who reigned 11 centuries before the Chris-

tian era. The first fans were made of bamboo only, but in time feathers and silk were used with good effect, and old writers pompously describe the imperial chariots decorated with these emblems of power on all state occasions. It was only at the beginning of our era, however, that a Chinese fanmaker beat plates of gold "until they were as thin as locust wings" and applied them on both surfaces of screen fans, which he further decorated with paintings of birds, beasts and fabulous monsters, wherein he set glittering bits of mica.

The folded fan, long unknown in China, is said to have been imported from Japan in the tenth century, when it began to replace screen fans.--New York Post.

Willing to Change. He--Do you know, I think you are a most singular girl? She (coyly)--I assure you it isn't from choice.--New York World.

LINGUISTS IN CONGRESS. Speeches Can Be Made In Almost All Languages In the House.

"A man can get up in the house and make a speech in almost any modern language, not counting the dead, with every assurance of having an intelligent audience," said Representative Bartholdt to a reporter. "I have made no effort to gain an accurate knowledge on the subject, but speaking at random there are at least 20 members who either speak or understand German. Williams of Mississippi studied at Heidelberg; Richards of Ohio, I think, at Tonin-

gen; Flynn of Oklahoma speaks Ger-

man readily, and McCleary of Minne-

sota, who used to be a professor, made a study of it. I am told that one of the Massachusetts members speaks it fluent-

ly. Fitch of New York, who left the house but a short time ago, studied at the universities of Jena and Berlin and is a gifted German scholar. Shaw of Wisconsin also studied in Germany and understands and speaks the language of

the Tenton. Straus of New York comes by it naturally. Eaugen of Minnesota speaks English, Norwegian and German, besides one or two other languages. Brickner and Barwig of Wisconsin, Goldzier of Chicago, Kiefer of Minne-

sota and myself all came by it through

inheritance. Hainer of Nebraska is a

Hungarian, but, like most educated Hungarians, speaks German, and Hendrix of New York picked it up in his early reportorial days in Brooklyn and the metropolis.

"Ex-Speaker Reed is a French linguist and is an exception in being able to speak French with a correct Parisian accent and with a fluency that must astonish the natives. General Tracey, who served in the Papal zouaves in Rome, is a fluent Italian conversationist and takes delight in holding a confab

at times with Italian purveyors of street music on the higher range of the Italian opera.

"One or two members in the house can read Celtic, but I don't know who they are. I was one evening with a party of friends. Five of them were Irish, and the sixth was a green German, who spoke English rather under a disadvantage, yet sufficiently well to make a desirable table companion. It was quite a literary group, and the conversation turned upon philological subjects. Not one of the Irish could speak a particle of Celtic, but that green German could speak it like a contemporary of Brian Born and astonished the Celts by giving several long recitations from the early Irish troubadours."--Washington Post.

Cyclists and Pedestrians.

We are informed that a general meet-

ing of all the French cycling clubs is to be held shortly for the purpose of drawing up a code of rules for foot passen-

gers, which is afterward to be submitted for approval to the public authorities. We have been permitted to examine the first draft of this remarkable scheme, which is worded as follows: Article 1--Every pedestrian is to be supplied with a bell and a signal horn, which he shall sound on crossing a street whenever he espies a cycle on the horizon. Article 2--At night the foot passenger shall carry on his breast a lantern containing a lighted taper. Article 3--Any foot passenger who by his awkwardness and want of attention shall occasion the fall of a cyclist by stupidly allowing himself to be run over shall be liable to a fine of 50 francs to 100 francs. After a repetition of the offense, he shall be transported to a mountainous region. Article 4--France shall be entirely leveled, in order to save cyclists the annoyance of hill climbing. Article 5--The horse races at Longchamp to be abolished, and the site transformed into a summer cycling course. Article 6--All carriage traffic to be prohibited in the Bois de Boulogne after 6 a. m. and up to 11 p. m. Article 7--The tax on cycles to be abolished, and in its place a tax on pedestrians to be substituted.--Figaro.

Wales and His Shooting.

His royal highness Albert Edward, prince of Wales, is not a brilliant performer with a shotgun, but he enjoys shooting. It is necessary for the credit of the nation that he should make a showing, and with that idea Sir Henry

James usually accompanies him on gun-

ning expeditions. His royal highness blazes away all day, rarely hitting a bird, while Sir Henry lets go both bar-

rels right and left and seldom misses.

At the end of the day's shooting Albert Edward gets credit for the dimensions of the bag, and Sir Henry winks the oth-

er eye as in duty bound. He'll be a duke some day.--Exchange.

Mosquito Netting Curtains.

Do you know that mosquito netting--not mosquito bar but the net which looks like coarse brussels net--makes simply lovely curtains for bed, sitting or dining room windows?

It comes two yards wide, at about 30 or 40 cents a yard, with a little fly fringe or a broad hem.

With a white ribbon run through, or even without, it is really beautiful for the purpose, and, as it washes like a handkerchief and can be done up over

and over again, it is very cheap.--Polly Pry in New York Recorder.

All the glaciers in the Alps would not equal in size one of the largest in the territory of Alaska.

ODDS AND ENDS.

There are less than 300 pure blooded Greenlanders.

Dr. Warton says that most of the English poets were notably handsome men.

Christian Indians of the Dakota tribe raised nearly $2,000 last year to Christianize their pagan Sioux brethren. The town of New Hope, Pa., with a population of about 1,200, appears to be having an epidemic of twins, no less than 15 pairs being born there lately. Massachusetts has a new law which forbids the exhibition of wild animals in the streets and which authorizes officers to kill all such animals and fine the exhibitor $20. Miss Arbetta Echols, a pupil at the seminary at Holly Springs, Tenn., dreamed that she would die on May 4.

Unfortunately her dream came true, and on that day she died.

Since his recent attack of the grip the czar has betrayed symptoms of a permanent affection of the lungs. He will probably make his imperial residences at Kiev, where the climate is more fa-

vorable than at St. Petersburg.

The Duchess of Marlborough has entered into possession of the Deepdene,

Lord Francis Hope's estate near Dorking. Its noble owner calls it a "beastly hole," but is willing to accept £3,000 a year for it from the American duchess.

A Chicago jury brought in a verdict the other day that did not please the presiding magistrate, Judge Abner Smith. He dismissed the panel by saying, "I don't say you are all scoundrels, but it is evident that there are scoundrels among you."

It is suggested in France that "the

beautiful and patriotic features" of Joan of Arc, the new patron saint of the nation, whose memory is being honored in

various prominent ways all over the

country just now, be put on the next

edition of French postage stamps. What is supposed to be a relic of voo-

dooism has just been unearthed at Ellston, Cecil county, Md. It is a bottle containing coal oil, needles, hair and a quantity of roots. It was dug up in a garden, where it had been buried doubt-

less by the advice of a negro conjurer. Mrs. Jennie P. Lane of Smethport,

Pa., has a big Newfoundland dog which

is a first-class substitute for a nurse. It

takes the baby riding in the carriage every day. The dog holds the handle with its teeth and wheels the coach as carefully as the infant's mother could. An auctioneer at Middletown, Del., talked without rest for eight hours the other day and sold in that time 640 articles. A man of leisure in attendance upon the sale estimates the auctioneer talked 82,000 words, or enough to make in print the bulk of a fair sized

novel.

Slow progress is being made on the statue of General John A. Logan, which is to be erected in Jackson park, Chicago. The design has been adopted, but the figure will not be in place in less than 1½ years. Mrs. Logan, John A. Logan, Jr., and Judge Tuthill of Chicago have inspected the design and are very much pleased with it.

Disguised Misers.

"I have a friend," said an out of

town coal operator, "who is worth nearly $500,000, and yet is the most penurious man I ever saw. The other night

we were going on to Chicago on business. We went into the sleeper togeth-

er, and as I was quite tired I suggested going to bed. 'Where is your birth?' I asked. 'Berth?' repeated my friend. 'Why, I'm not going to take a berth. I shall sit up in the day coach.' When I told him there was nothing but sleepers on the train, his face fell, and he seemed worried. I knew what the trouble was. He was thinking of the few dollars he would have to spend for a bed, so I said, 'I guess you'll have to hand over tonight.' He appeared much distressed and suggested that we double up and both sleep in one berth, 'for,' he said, 'it will be cheaper for both.' I laughed at the idea and informed him that I did not care to make myself uncomfortable for the sake of a few dollars. Well, he resigned himself to his fate, and I noticed when a berth was assigned him he was without a handbag of any sort. As he was going to stay in Chicago but a day, I said, 'Where's your bag. Surely you didn't bring a trunk for one day?' He then sat closer to me, and crossing his legs began in a most earnest manner: 'That's just where you fel-

lows make a mistake. You carry a bag with you as a sign that you are a good

subject to beat. Now, I carry nothing--not even so much as a package for my

nightshirt, for I have that on now under my other shirt--and you see that I dress shabbily. Why, if I carried a bag,

hotels, hackmen, porters and everybody would charge me double what they do now. I've got too much common sense to lay myself open to high prices.' He seemed satisfied with himself after he had given me this oration. As I crawled into my berth I wondered for what object some people with $500,000 lived

anyhow."--Pittsburgh Dispatch.

Fair Play.

Mrs. Mary Grant Cramer, General Grant's sister, is disgusted with the protests against equal rights for women in New York. In a private letter in-

closing some subscriptions she says: "It is a pity that the 'antis,' having had their way so long, cannot allow our side to try something decidedly better. Turn about is fair play."
