However. MacbMahon ignored 'a It. The German host came on in two;c c.olunt.s, with only a weak cavalry - ecreen between. tBefore daybreak the Ravartans had thrown a pontoon brildge nero.s the Meuse. ndvancing t toward lazel!ltes, where Vassoign"'s dl- f .isla,l. containing a number of marine r and sailor bIttalln.ns. Cave, theta such a warm reception that they were com pletely discncerted. About six in the morning the heavy night fog lifted. whereuponl the German artillery came violently into action. One of the first shells wounded MacM:ahon. General I Ducrot took over the command. Now it happened that there was with the army General Wimpffen. who had only arrived from Algiers on the night of August 30. and who had In his Iw'ket a secret commission. au thorizing him to assume command in event of the death or disabnlement of MacMahon. No one save WimIffen knew of this. He was new to the troops and new to this thenter of war. Therefore he hesitated to displace Dnu crot. waitino until nine ,o'clock. when, perceiving that Puerot intended to re treat toward the west. and convinced that salvation lay only in moving east ward toward Metz and the army of Bazalne. he produced his papers and took charge. As a result there fol lowed dire confusion. a good part of the army already having begun the ex ecttton of Ducrot's orders. Northward of B-zeilles the French were withdrawing. so that the Saxons swept easily over the ridge south of the ivonne-Sedan road. This cut off the retreat of Vnssoline's gallant fighters,. who fell Into the hands of the Germans an hour before noon. At about the same time the Ger man Guard corps began to form up be tween Dalcny and Givonne. when sud denly a great column of French Infan try. 6.000 strong. obeying Wimpffen's orders of mtovement. came over the eastern border of the valley and charged at full speed for the guns. There followed what was probably the most dramatic spectacle of the war. for tihe whole of the corps artillery of the Guard turned upon these devoted men, tearing the column in half and almost annihilating it. The head of the column. 2.000 strong. struggled des perately on, but coming under flanking fire from both cannon and rifles. It fair ly dissolved before the German eyes. n Another detachment of the invaders r crossed the river at Doncherey. driving back the French outposts to the south of the Illy road so easily that the Ger man artillery became recklessly ex posed. Perceiving this and acting In a stantly. O( meral de Gallifet-"Old Sll ver Top." Is he was afterward called. e hecause of the silver plate which re s placed a part of his skull--rushed up his brigade of Chaseurs d'Afrque and hurled a most dashing charge against Sthe batteries. Galllfet might have ac d complished something here, but he was utterly unsupported, and could not hold his advantage. He fell back with Mis hard-punished horse behind the s Cazal-lly ridge. 7 Next the French infantry tried Its '. hand again, making a brilliant, if Ill II timed. charge out of its position and - driving the Germans until the re - enforcements dashed up. Then once - more the French retired in more or I- less confusion, holding strongly at e Fiolng. is Now,. however, the French Twelfth o corps found Itself furiously assaulted e and in such peril that re-enforcements I were sent up from Donay's force. So pronounced was the confusion of the l day that these re-enforcements actu ONE WAY OF RAISING MONEY Governments, in Napoleonic Wars, Made Counterf(At Coins to Finance Raids on Enemy. Numerous methods have been adopted front time to time for supple r menting the currency of the various countries engnaed in war. but it is scarcely possllle that the powers will º be forced again to the expedients that t were often essential in the old days. Prior to Napoleon's 1812 campaign. for instance, the Paris gendarmes made a raid one night on a house in I the Plalne Montrouge. and discovered a manufactory of false notes. Quite a sensation was caused when, on the e following day, the police minister n::lte the announcement that the dna a ufactory had been started "by order of the emperor." The false notes. which were Austrian and Russian, instead of French. were intended for use against the enemy on the Russian * expedition, but the bulk of them came to grief during the great retreat. The duke of Wellington was respon lsble for a similar stroke of bus0ina :jl!y ,',-'-,' I htr'- .rý',, i, t t' fr+nl thei I zr-t c.rj.s "hlc'h wert ert t)hit S".nt to Ii 'outn hits,'If.

They numbered a bare two thousand Labers, and they were stortied at by a terrific artillery fusil lade. but their isolated attacks were magnificent in courage and so effective they proved to the experts that the day of charging by cavahly to mass had not yet ended. When Galllfet's horse were exhaust ed, however, the Gertans advanced in a charge which extended over a front of almost two miles. Wimpffen, In a desperate counter stroke, cleared the Gernmans out of Razeilles and lBalan. and for the moment the road to escape seemed open. What Wimpffen did not know was that another Prussian corps stood waiting behind the gap. Galloping back to the town to find the emperor and implore him to put himself at the head of all available re-enforcemernts. Wlmpffen was aston lshed to see a white flag displayed from the church tower. The emperor, who during the early hours of the fight ing had exposed himself fearlessly to death, had been overcome by physical pain and exhaustion, had abandoned hope and had offered his personal sur render t. the king of Prussia, at the same time ordering the white flag to be hoisted. It was torn down at the moment of its appearance by Colonel Fauve. but it went up again a short time later when the Prussians were battering at the western gate. It remained for Wlmpffen only to make terms for the sut'tender of his army. Thus passed Into captivity 72,000 French soldiers with 55,8 guns. The coast to the vic tors for this victory was 9.000 men. The French killed and wounded num bered 17,000. It Is Indicative of the demoralization among the French that t;his figure is 1.000 less than the cost I of victory to the Germans at Woerth. although In that case the number of r French actually engaged was one-half that at Sedan. The day of the French mountebank emperor was done. There followed dreadful days of the comn mune. And from It emerged the mag nlflcent France we now know. Keep Windows Open AL Time. Get into the habit of living In a house with all the windows open, rain or shine--night and day. You can't possibly get too much fresh air. The very fact that people say their houses are damp and chilly shows that ~ .e windows have not been open . enough, says a prominent health au 4 thority. Damp houses come from not having enough air to dry them out. Even on the rainy days it were better to open t wide the windows and let the fresh air In and even a little rain-than to shut the windows down. stopping the en trance of fresh air. The healthiest people in the world are the savages, and they live out of doors In the rain as well as in the sunshine. Don't be afraid of fresh air at any time. h Ne Advice Given. r- An inclination to advise is not a bad -. trait In character, even when youth i. is passed.
