In those anxious days of July iu 1870, when the members of the French Corps- Legislatif w'ere debating the questiou of declaring war against Prussia, Mar shal L)e Boeuf, who was then Minister of War, was asked the question whether the French army was ready, Drawing up his portly form In the tribune and emphasizing his words with a treatrical sweep of his hand, he an swered: “Ready! The army is ready-; there is not a gaiter button missing!” This statement was patriotic, perhaps, but it was mendacious. The missing gaiter button was in a measure one of the causes of the defeat of the French. If the German Minister of War of 1 day should be asked under relative co dltions a similar question, he might a swer with a corresponding appreciation of the value of details: “There Is not a foot-rag missing!” The gaiter button of Le Boeuf has become historic as an, llliistration of over-confidence; the foot- rag of the German soldier may become, equally historic as a proof of the pei fectlon of the Gorman military systen The marching ability and endurance of a body of troops are as important as its discipline and accuracy of fire. The German authorities have realized this to the utmost and, understandmg that the ability to support physical fatigue is dependent on the physical condition of the body, have made the matter of army hygiene one of special sclentilio study. There is iu Berlin a museum devoted to this subject, and its director is the celebrated Prof. Koch. All mat ters of food, sanitary arrangements, sleeping accommodations and dress are studied from the scientific point of A feature of the field operations of the Gorman army is the excellency of its marching. The distance covered, the speed maintained, the weight car ried, and, above all, the almost nominal percentage of stragglers are such that all foreign observers arc lost in aston ishment. The matter of foot-gear, on which in a groat degree this marching efficiency depends, has been most carefully stud ied. Boots and shoos of all stylos have received the test of practical use. The conclusion has been reached that a short boot, reaching a little higher than half way to the knee and with a sole very broad at the toes, allowing for the full expansion of the foot, Is, all things considered, the most satisfactory ar ticle of foot covering. I'liis boot is a regulation article. So is the suit of woollen underwear furnished the sol dier, and which includes a pair of stock ings. But the wearing of the stockiug.s is optional. In lieu of this conventional article the soldiers are recommended to wear a bandage of a certain char acter. The bandage generally worn is a narrow strip of linen—cotton is some- limes used, but rarely, as it lacks the quality of coolness—about an inch wide and of sufficient length to be wound around the foot and passed between the toes. This bandage is plentifully smeared wdth what the Germans call “Hirschtaig” (stag tallow). It is sup posed to be a grease made from the fat of the deer, but as a matter of fact it is ordinary animal grease. When the bandage has been prepared the feet are first thoroughly rubbed with the grease, and then the bandage Is applied. It requires some little prac- tlee so to biud the bandage that It will remain in place, but the method once learned the job Is an easy ono. Dre.ssed in this manner, the feet are saved from becoming chafed or callous. When the boot is taken off the band age is easily washed. The question of Its drying is unimportant, as it is al ways worn in a semi-humid condition. A number of these bandages may be earried rolled up in a small space in tho knapsack. Any one who has lived In Germany has heard of this character of foot covering, and there are many Americans who make it a habit of us ing it in an amernh'd form when the weather is warm or when long wallts aro to be undertaken, by rubbing tlie feet with cold cream or perfumed mut ton tallow and, without drying them, putting on their stockings. Any one whose feet are affected by heat and Cat Whips an Eaete. sin recently they witnessed, near Arena, a fierce fight between a bald- headed eagle and a large tomcat, Tho “proud bird, of the mouataias\ had at tacked tho cat while hunting iu the field, says a writer, and succeoclod in fastening its talons into the animal’s back, when the battle immediately be gan and was ccutiuued amid tbe tpr rific yowls of the cat and the sereaffis of the eagle. It was a sort of catch-as- catch-could contest, and while it con tinued the feathers and fur fl-w thick aud fast. The cat was too heavy for the eagle to fly witlt, but it suceei ded iu raising it several times in tho air, 100 feet oi more, at each effort; but the attempts to get atvay with its prey were futile, as the weight of the cat and its fierce struggle for life invariably brouglit tin eagle to tho ground again, where th(- battle was repeated witli nearly the same revsiilt. In the final bout, which took place on terra flrina, the eagle threw up the sponge and. flew labor iously across the river, while the cat, much worried, made tracks as rapidly as possible a way from the scene of !

I ancient times every mon.arch and i great or little, kept his sooth- layers, or at least had recourse to some person who pretended to read the future iu the stars or somewhere else. Wo have still persons who as sume to be able to foretell the future, but the great difference between past ages and the present iu this regard is that then the great aud often wise men of the earth believed in tbe sooth sayers, while now only the foolish aud feeble have any coufidonco in them. Tho decline in the credit and honor of soothsaying dates in a considerable measure, perhaps, from a ci>rtain per formance of John Galeazzo, Duke of Milan. Ho, too, had a soothsayer. Ono day the reader of the stars came to him and said: “My lord, make ha,ste to arrange your earthly affifirs.” \And why shall I do \le Duke. do that?\ asked mo that you “Boeauso tho stars toll have not long to live.\ “Indeed! And what do the stars toll you about your own lease of life’/” asked the Duke John. “They promise me many years more pears that the stars know very little about these things, for you will bo hanged within half an horn’!” He sent the soothsayer to tho gallows.

Here is tlie letter he has ■nriiten. After the gratuitous insult I have offered to tliat excellent woman, his sister, he feels that our union would be impossible. If I am incapable of esti mating her worth he is justified iu doubting my ability to fill, with satisfac tion to himself or the other members of his family, the position ho has offered me, aud tlierefore, though with much regret, he was compelled to say that ho can never be m.ore to me tlian my friend and well wisher. ” “And you think that is my fault?” cried Mr. Rowlands. “No, no, my dear, it can not bel Give me my boots. I’ll go aud have an explanation with Mr. Osterly at once. ” But Nettie gently forced her father back into the chair from which lie had “You shall do no such thing. I am not a bit sorry that tliis has happened; it was only the dread of being called a jilt that has kept me from breaking with a lover I was learning thoroughly to de spise, He says that I am not fitted for the position to which I aspired. My ambition would have been gratified, but that was all. Still, I sliould dearly like to know what has given rise to tlie accu sation brought against me of insulting his pompous sister. I liave wasted hours of careful work on that little card case. ” Mr. Rowlands echoed tlie words with a look of perplexity. “Case! It was a book you put iu my pocket, wasn’t it?” Nettie threw up her hands. “Yes—yes, a yellow-backed novel, to be exchanged at tbe bookstall at the sta tion. Don’t say you gave that to Mrs. Bleukinsop!” “I am sadly afraid I did, my dear. I must have been very absent-minded this nioruing to make such a ridiculous mis take; but is’s not too late to rectify it. I’ll go to Mrs. Blenkinsop tliis very miii- “ Sit down, you c there’s no rectifying this, for nothing eitli would convince duke Oster on purpose. ” “But why? But why?\ demanded Mr. Rowlands; and Nettie replied by asking another question. “Don’t you know the name of the book you handed to her? Then, let me tell you. It was ‘Marrying for Money,’ and she regards it, and always will, as an in solent allusion to her marriage. Kiss me, daddy darling, and congratulate yourself that, without intending it, you have saved your foolish daughter from following her exjiraple.” So Nettie Rowlands did not fret at tho loss of Iier rich lover. If for a while the attention of a moneyed man, and the worldly advan tage such a match offered, had blinded her to tlie folly, nay, wickedness of mar rying witliout love, her eyes were opened now, and she had endured with much patience and sweetness the ill-natured comments of so-called friends and ac quaintances on the sudden rupture of her engagement. Perhaps she will liave her reward.
