Ai Incident of the Franco-Prussian W«R The regiment imposition on a bare hill was a target for the whole Prussian army. The opposing forces fought within eighty metres of eaeh other. The Prussia^/officers shouted "Surren­ der, cowards!" but the proud regiment held ita ground, grouped around its big flat. In this landscape of ascending oorn- frtids and pasture land, lighted bj the sinking sun, this mass of harrassed men, enveloped in smoke, looked like a flock af sheep surprised on a height by an un­ expected and formidable whirlwind. Now the lire rained upon this slope! Nothing could be heard but the crack* ling of the musketry, the deafening rattle of shells and the thunder of can­ nons, reverberating from hill to hill. Now and then the Hag which rose above all heads, shook in the shower of grape, darkened by smoke; then a voice rose firm and proud, above the crepitation, rattling, roaring and cries of the wound­ ed: "To the flag. boyB, to the flag !" At the same moment an officer, vague as a shadow in the red fog, pointed to the grand ensign, which immediately gave the soldiers the inspiration of some sublime, being. Twenty-two times it fell, twenty-two times, before its staff had time to cool in the grasp of the dead, it was siezed and raised again. And when, as twi­ light merged into darkness, the rem­ nant of the regiment, scaroely a hand­ ful of men, slowly beat a retreat, the flag was only a tatter in the hands of Sergeant Hornus, the twenty-third standard bearer of the day. Hornus was an old soldier who scarce­ ly knew how to sign his name, and had been twenty-two years in gaining his sergeant's badge. All tbe wretched­ ness of the foundlings, all the brutaliz­ ing influences of the barracks, could.be seen by his low, receding forehead, his back, bent by the knapsack, and that devil may-care mein of the private trooper. Besides, he stammered very badly, but then one doesn't need elo­ quence to be a standard bearer. The evening of the battle his colonel said to him: "You may keep the flag, my good fellow, keep it;" and upon his sol­ dier's cap, faded by rain and scorched by fire, the canteen woman sewed a gilt border--the badge of lieutenant. It was the single pride in this life of humility. The figure of the old trooper became erect immediately; this poor, crouching creature had henceforth a proud bearing and eyes instantly ele­ vated to see that his fragment of flag was kept straight and high above death, treason, and subversion. You never saw a happier man than was Hornus in the heat of battle, when he held his flagstaff firmly with both hands in ics sheath of leather. He did not speak, he did not budge, so awed was ho hy the sacredness of his trust. AU bis strength was in his Augers clasped about this beautiful gilded rag, %nd the faster ball raised upon it the mortf defiantly be eyed the Prussian", as if to sav, "I.dfti®J'OjjT4? touc^ Thus far no "o^e, hot e»6a tieftth, had interfered with iris holy dutjf!'

His tri color rag took; the J place of everything else, and while he • saw it he believed that nothing was < lost. tfnfortttB&tel?, since fighting had oeased, the Colonel kept the flag at his headquarters on the outskirts of Met%» Hornus felt like a mother whose babe is out to nurse, but whenever he 'saw it, leaning against the wall at the Oofov&l's, he returned full of courage and patience, bringiug under his soaked tent "dreams of battles, of marches forward, and of seeing the three colors waving trium­ phantly on the Prussian trenches. One morning the old man, en awaken­ ing, saw the whole camp in confusion. The soldiers, very much «xcited, stood in groups shaking their fists in the same direction, as if designating a guilty one, and shouting, "Seize him. Tear him to pieces." Tbe officers made no attempt to quell the disorder, bat marched with averted faces, as if ashamed before their men. And well they might blush with shame and turn palk with rage. One cannot read, even now without indig­ nation, of the treachery that surrender­ ed without a blow 150,000 of the best soldiers in the world, well armed, healthy and eager to a man for a battle. "And the flag?" asked Hornus, turn­ ing pale. "The flags have gone with tbe rest, with the guns, wagons, everything-- everything." , T i „ „ ' 'Thu--thu--'thunder and lightning," tbe jpeor fellow, "they shall not have mine," and he ran to the other end of the city. There also excitement reigned. Na­ tional guards and citizens shouted, ges­ ticulated, sobbed. Deputations passed to and fro. Frantic mobs hurried to­ ward Bazaine's house. Hornus saw and heard nothing as he ascended the street muttering. "Seized my flag! That beats all. I can hardly believe it. What right had he to it ? Let him give the Prussians what belongs to him, his gilt ooach and his rich plate brought from Mexico. But the flag was mine. It was my honor. I forbade any one to touc^ it" One hearing him stutter out those phrases would not suspect that in his ignorant mind was a clear, firm and sublime resolve. He would take his flag, unfurl it before his regiment, and then, with that tali:<man in his hand, lead the attack upon the enemy. When he arrived at bis colonel's headquarters, he was not eVen allowed to enter, as the enraged officer could not bear to see any one. Hornus, how­ ever, elbowed his way through the pla­ toon crying: •My flag, I want my flag!* At leugth the window opened. "Is it you, Hornus?" "Yes, colonel, Lw "All the flacs are at the arsenal. Ton must go there and get a reoeipt for yours." "A receipt! What for?" "It is the marshal's Older." "But, colonel." "Oh let me alone," and the window slammed down. The old sergeant tottered like a •drunken man. "A receipt; a receipt," he repeated mechanically. At length he moved away, understanding only one thing, that the flag was at the ar­ senal, and that he must take it at any risk. The doors of the arsenal were all wide open to allow the Prussian wagons, whioh waited in long lines to pass through. Hornus trembled as he saw all the other ensign )>earers, and fifty or sixty broken-hearted and silent officers. One would have thought, from the wagons, so somber Jn the rain, from the men with bowed and uncovered heads, that there was a funeral in the yard. In one corner all the flags of Eazaihe's army were piled up confusedly on the mnidy pavement. Nothing could be more melancholy' than these rags of silk, this debris of gold fringes 'and carved flagstaff's, and all this paraphec- nalia full of glorious associations, soiled with rain and mud.. An officer took them one by one, and as each regiment was called its flag- bearer stepped forward to get a receipt. Two wrinkled and expressionless Prus­ sian officers superintended the transfer. And thus, O sacred tatters, you left us, handled by those who mocked at your wounds, sadly sweeping the pave­ ment, like birds with broken wings. Glorious rags, soiled by mud, as was France by disgrace, a portion of the be­ trayed country went with each of you. The blazing sun of long marches was in your faded folds. Your bullet holes were memorials to the unknown thou­ sands who died fighting for you. "Hornus, don't yon hear? It's your turn to get a receipt." What had he to do with a receipt? The flag was there before him. It was indeed his, the most beautiful, the most mutilated of all. On seeing it he imag­ ined himself again on the heights. He heard the whizz of bullets, the rattle of shells and the colonel's voice: "Look to the flags, bovst" He saw his twenty- two oomrades on the ground, and he, the twenty-third, shooting forward to lift up the poor ensign, falling from a dead man's hand. Ah! that day he had sworn to defend it at the risk of his own life. With these memories throbbing in his brain he sprang upon the Prussian officer, tore from him his loved ensign, raised it high as he cried, "To the"-- but his voice stopped in hiB throat, he felt the staft tremble and Blip from his grasp. In that air of death and treason that weighed so heavily on the surrendered city, the beautiful banner could no longer float, nothing proud could longer survive. And old Hornns fell with a bullet through his noble heart. THEY FELT THE LION'S BREATH. To Make a Home out or m Household. Now and then one sees some expres­ sion in the newspapers to the effect of embodying a general supposition that if u woman be eminent for educa­ tion or special gifts or acquirements, it is regretted that she does not extend her life beyond her home. It suggests an inquiry into the relative virtues of public and private living. Is it the life outside the home that demands, exclu­ sively, the higher virtues ? Rather, it is nearer the truth to believe that no life requires so complete aud harmoni' ous a development as that which holds disci jJ- lned by university study, enriched by classical study, cultivated by art and literan\rej t&g woman who ha§. ijMjbg strength of all these will yet fiud her­ self taxed by the demands of the home and social life. All nue threads she holds in her hand", not only the order­ ing of thp home, but, is far more, the giving of 6ustainih£ C$hipathetic comys^ionliliin; the hospitality, nofc 6uly in m^teiTa^ effcn, but in, the true hospitality gi thought, and the sweet­ ness of spilft that thinketh no evil. The living force in community that the ideal VfOman of private life may be is a power thai excceds calculation. It is a strength that takes its place among the spiritual forces, which increase and influence iu a ratio quite exceeding our human cal­ culations. The most potent force is that of unconscious influence; and the woman who makes her home tbe center from which radiates all that is invigora­ ting and uplifting contributes the best possible aid to social progress. To sup- Eose a woman does not require the igher education because she will prob­ ably marry, is to put the life of the home, the family, tbe community, as of less importance than the persuit of some art. profession or industry. Specific labor may require certain high abilities and definite attainments; but the com­ plicated work that has to do with Jife itself, in its shaping and formative in­ fluences. is the finest of arts and the noblest of professions. The future of tbe home is a matter of some concern to the social reformers. But the finer the development and accomplishments of women through the higher culture into which they are entering, the more truly will it benefit, elevate and enoble the home life.-- American Cultivator.

The Adventures of Three Children and a California tl«a, • ^ I whispered to tbe other children to lie still, because we had no place to hide in, nor was it any use to climb a tree, for the California lion will climb like a cat So we saw the lion finish his meal oa our ox- It grew very light, near sunrise, before he took any notice of us, where we sat under the ox-cart As soon as he saw us he walked up very close, with curious, wondering expres­ sion on his face, and went all about the cart, looking us over, and making a purring sound. We sat close and had our arms about one another, but we did not say a word. He then came up so close that I felt his breath on me, and finally he put his nose against my an­ kle. I had no stockings on, only home­ made shoes, and his nose felt very strange, and made me expect to be eaten up at once. But I thoughtit best to lie still and not cry out After what seemed a long time, the Hob went back and lay down by the dead ,ox, about a hundred feet distant, keeping his eyes on us most of the time. He sometimes walked around the ox; then lie came off a little way to a spring; then he came back and walked around the cart At last he lay down again by the ox, shut his eyes, and seemed asleep. The sun was now high, and we were very hungry and thirsty, but when we moved a little to rest our limbs the lion opened his eyes and looked very bad. We lay there under the cart all the morning, and until about the middle of the afternoon, and the lion lay under the shade of a tree, watched un, ate some more beef, and wexrt to the spring as often as he chose. Then about 3 o'clock mother and Jose, the peon, came down from the coast way, and when they were on the ridge, they could look into the canyon and see the whole situation at a glance--the lion, the dead ox, the cart, and the three of us huddled to­ gether under it Jose ran forward and fired two shots, wounding the lion, but he got away in the rooks.--Century. Bow Thread la Numbered. The seamstress, whether she wants No. 30 or 40 or 120 thread, knows from the number just what kind of sewing it can be used for. When 840 yards of yarn weigh 7,000 grains, a pound of cotton, the thread-makers mark it No. 1. If 1,680 yards weigh a. pound, it is marked No. 2. For No. 50 yarn' it would take 50 multiplied by 840 to weigh a pound. This is the whole ex­ planation of the yard measurement as used by the spool-cotton manufacturer. The early manufactured thread was of three-cord, the number being de­ rived from the number of yards to tbe pound, just as it is to-day, No. 60 yarn made No. 60 thread, though in point of fact the actual caliber of No. 60 thread would equal No. 20 yarn, being made of three No. 20 strands twisted to­ gether. "When the sewing-machine came into the market as a great thread consumer, unreasoning in its wcrk and inexorable in its demands for mechanical accuracy, six-cord cotton had to be made in place of the old and rougher three-cord, it being much smoother. As thread num­ bers were already established, they were not altered for the new article, and No. 60 six-cord and No. 60 three- oord were left identical in both size and number. To effect ihis the six-cord had to be made of yarn twice as fine as that de­ manded in making the three-cord variety. The No. 60 cord is made of six strands of No. 120 yarn. The three-oord spool cotton is of the same number as the yarn is made of. Six-cord spool cotton is always made from double its number. Thread is a simple thing, but simple as it is, there are 2,000 kinds of it, and each kind goes through hundreds of different processes. --Dry Goods Review. Spanish Politeness. The Spanish lover has a very pretty way of saying, "I throw myself at your feet, genorita." Of cofurse, he does nothing of the kind, explains the De­ troit Free Press. The Spanish hostess says to her friends, "Possess yourself of my bouse, it is all yours," but she does not expect them to take actual posses­ sion. The words are the flower of chivalry. But an occasional visitor takes these polite people at their word, and they are too polite to explain the mistake. When General and Mrs. Grant were in Cuba they were invited to dine at the palace of the Governor General in Havana. In the evening a ball was given which was attended by the beauty of the city. Among the, se- noritas was one lady who stood convers­ ing with the American general's wife. She was superbly dressed and carried a marvelous fan which had descended to her from her great-grandmother. It was a costly affair of carving, lace, and diamonds. Mrs. Grant admired it, upon which the Spanish lady at once handed ! it to hei* with the usual remark: "it is Keep Posted.

"Is that so!" said Mrs. Blank. "Yes," I said, rallying as well as I could, for this reply takes all the spirit from me, "and she is always very ill on tbe ocean." "Is that so!" said Mrs. Blank again. A pause followed. How can one con­ tinue to pay out coin of conversation if not even the interest comes back? I was glad to get out of the car and meet pretty Amy Dexter. I had a bit of news for her. Amy is in the high school, and I told her at once that Miss Cummins, who taught her botany last year is to be married soon. "Is that BO!" returned Amy.
