Cutting Down Electric Light Bills. 1
Private Herman Meisner
: Original.
The Franco-Prussian war had just
)pend, and the German army was
Jiurrjlng to the frontier. One morning
. Ibefoto the day's inarch began a young
recruit was brought before the colonel
iof the Eighty-seventh regiment of the
jline in arrest
"This is Trlvate Herman Meisner,"
;. ald his captain. "Last night ho vol-
juntarily, relieved ouo of the guard and
jjAconnWed at the escape of a prisoner
Render 5Uarj;e'of sleepdns on post. IIo
ijfldnilts this', but says that tho man he
f: released; Carl; Jloisner.' is hi cousin."
j ! It .happened that the oolonel was a
kindly man, one who would naturally
t Jbe touched, by suca friendly devotion.
flbe culprit was a mere boy, with Sax-
bn hfllr and blue eves.
I "How long have you been , in tho
larniy?" asked the commander.
;' "Two weeks."
'! "Captain, thls young fellow is doubt
less ignorant of the enormity of bis
offense, and wo need every man at
jbla post of duty. You may release
him. Has the escaped prisoner been
rearrested r
I "He bos, colonel."
I The march was rcsumod. In the
'evening as the colonel was refreshing
blmself with a smoka the captain re
turned with Private Herman Meisner
tain in arrest. - '
j "Colonel," he said, "wiien tuo prison
f ert were iuspeeted after the day's
march Private Carl Meisner was miss
ing, and this man, Trlvate Herman
Meisner, was in his place."
I The colonel knit his brows. '
! "What did you do that for," he asked
of the boy, "after my leniency u you
this morning?"
' "They told me my cousin would like
ly be shot for sleeping on post."
: "That is his affair, not yours. Do
you want to get yourself shot in his
place?"
, "I would rather, colonel."
! "That's very, very ridlc very noblo
of you, but It's unjust to yourself. It
sceum to me, captain, that this boy
has the truo elements of a soldier la
him, but he needs Instruction. You
way retuni him to duty. Has tho real
prisoner been rearrested?"
'Tcs, colonel."
Tho nest morning Prlvato Meisner
was again brought before the colonel
for having made a third attempt to
free his cousin. This tlcuo ho had fail
ed to oven get tho prisoner away from
tho guard. Tho colonel sent the In
corrigible Herman back to take bis
placo with the other prisoners, to staid
trial at tho proper time for mutiny.
"You are a little fool," Bald the com
mander. "Your cousin will bo Ebot for
plooplng on post, and you will be shot
for mutiny."
, Herman smiled..
"Are you sure he's saue, captain?"
asked the colonel,
v "Perfectly sane." . " .
"Well, taka him away."
The next , day there was a roar of
artillery at tho front. As the colonel
was mounting his horse the captain
appeared and, saluting, said:
"The prisoners desire permission to
take their place in the ranks for the
coming battlo."
"Grant it for any iu whom you have
confidence. I suppose those two cous
ins aro among the applicants."
"Carl Melaser has applied. His cous
in who tried to effect his escape has
not."
. "That's strange," said the colonel,
and, potting spurs to his horse, he
rode away.
That day was fought the battle of
Gravelotte. When it was over the cap
tain appeared before his colonel, this
time with both tho Meisner cousins.
"Colonel," he said. "I have to report
that I decided to put all the prisoners
in the ranks for battle. Carl Meisner,
who was in arrest for sleeping on post,
distinguished hluaself by conspicuous
gallantry. His cousin Herman ran
and hid himself behind a log."
The colonel looked at the prisoner in
perplexity.
"And yon," he Eald to Herman, "aro
the man who wished to get yourself
shot to save your cousin!" "
The colonel expected him to bang
his head in shame. Ho did no such
thing. He simply smiled, smiled with
his beautiful blue eyes, bis delicately
curved lips, every feature in his boyish
face.
"I wish," said the colonel to the cap
tain, "thoy would Etop robbing-the
cradle to-procure material for the
army." - Then to Herman, "How old
are you, boy?" '
"Twenty A ,
The colonel sat thinking. Presently
he said to tho captain:
"See that the charges against Carl
Meisner are withdrawn and mako him
a corporal. As for this coward what
the dickens ho meant by trying to get
himself shot In placo of his cousin I
don't know, but wo can't be incum
bered with hhn on a campaign send
him back under charges of both mu
tiny and cowardice."
Trlvate Herman began to cry.
"What are you enKClng for?" began
tie colonel, when C'nrl Interrupted him:
"Colonel, shQ is a woman my wife.
Wo have two little children at home,
end she should be there to take
care of them. Bnt she would not let
rie go to the war without coming with
fie, fearing I would get killed just as
if she could help that."
"Phew!" er.claimed tho colonel. "A
woman: . That accounts for her
strange behavior, ready to die. la place
of tbe man the loved, but no stomach
for a fight Well, captain, you must
send Private Herman Meisner back
home to take care of tho children. I
suppose the government won't give
her transportation, so I will."

ADVERTISE IN THE DAILY TIMES
The Incandescent electric lamp is one
of the most commonly known and
simplest household devices with which
we have to deal,' writes George R. Met
calf in Technical World Magazine for
October. The lamp in 'general me is
labeled sixteen candle power, and the
verag user of these lamps is generally
contented with the mere knowledge of
how to turn his light on and off. lie
will undoubtedly grumble at times at
the amount of" his monthly' bill for
lighting, and will often be inconvenienc
ed by the dimness of some of liis lamps,
but the deficiency in liglit is made good
by turning on another lamp, and the
monthly bill is furtlier Increased. It
would probably never occur to him Hat
it would be actual economy in dollars
and cents to throw awsr his old lamps
and provide new one at Ins own expense!
and yet such is the case.
The "jsmashlng point" cannot be ac
curately determined for any lamp with
out rather extensive tests, but in gen
eral it is not necessary to determine
Its accuracy. A variation of one or
two candle power will hardly be per
cept ible under the ordinary conditions.
H is only when the lamp falls off throe
or four candle power that It dimness
becomes appreciable, and it is a aafe
rule to follow, and it will prove more
economical to buy a new lamp rather
than burn an old one after its diminu
tion in candle power becomes noticeable.
By this is meant that it will be more
economical for the amount of light ob
tained because lamps must be burned
to obtain the original amount of light.
If tha reduced quantity of light from
old lonvps i suflieient. as for example,
in halls and closets it would still be
cheaper to throw out the old lamps and
replace them with new ones of smaller
candle power,
llappvnesj From Troubles.
Being human, happily or unhappily,
we cannot deny the comfort to bo founj
in the reflection that minerv never lark
tne company it loves. We all have our
trouble, and some of us derive much
satisfaction from the contemplation of
them. Indeed, tluere are tho.e who are
happy only when wretched; but these
we believe to be as few in number as
they are dWagrcable in association; the
vast majority of humans are normal,
and disposed, therefore, in conformity
with natural law, to smile when the
skies 8ro clear and to grieve under tiie
portent of clouds. Hence the eaeo with
which worry takes possession of the
niim, colors the disposition and makes
a cripple of effort. That cauei abound
we know 11(1 must admit, as we do al
most unconsciously the certainty of
death; but too" little cognizance is taken
of the fact that tbe etfect of mere ap
prehension, which is all that worry
really is, may bo subjected to simple
mental treatment and be overcome.

Steel Inrfgatlon Canal.
In Fgypt there has recently been con
structed a lurgo Irrigation project. The
land to be reclaimed is dry and parched,
and is supposed to have received no
water for 3,000 to 4,000 years. The
water of the Xile is discharged into
the canul bv a special plant. This con-
sist of a set of powerful pumps, which
lift the water through suction mains six
feet cixlit inches in diameter and dis
charge it into riveted steel raining mains
of tho same diameter, which in their
turn pour tho water into a servvice res
ervoir and turns the stream into dis
turbing earth canals or culverts", from
which it nows upon the land.
The lift of the pumps is from fifty to
sixty feet, and the top of the reservoir
wall is over I'OO feet aliove the sea level.
The service reservoir is made of rein
forced concrete. The canul, is composed
of riveteed steel, the plates Wing one
third of an inch in thickness, is nearly
semi-circular iu form, and has n diame
ter or ninteen feet eight innches with
two foot tdraight (tides at the lop, being
therefore nerrly twelve feet deep. Its
total length is over a mile. It is built

WITHIN the last decade great and rapid strides have been made in
Materia Medica. Many diseases that were considered incurable
fifteen years ago are now cured in a few days, and in many cares prevented
altogether. The scientists of late years have been delving for the cause,
the foundation, the reason and the starting point of diseancn fully realizing
that the actual aud true cause must be ascertained before the remedy can
le located. Hair troubles, like many other diseases, have been, Wrongly
diagnosed aud altogether misunderstood. The hair itself is not the thing
to be treated, for the reason that it is simply a product of the scalp, and
wholly dependent upon its action. The acalp is the very soil in which
the hair is produced, nurtured and grown, and it alone shculd receive the
attention if results are to be expected. It would do no eirthly good to
treat the stem of a plant with a view of making it grow and become more
beautiful the soil in which tho plant grows must be attended to. There,
fore, the scalp in which the hair grows must receive the -attention if you
are to expect it to grow and become more beautiful.
Loss of hair is caused by the scalp drying tip, or losing
its supply of moisture or nutriment, and when baldness
occurs the scalp has simply lost all of its nourishment,
leaving nothing for the hair to feed upon (a plant or even
a tree would die under similar conditions).
The natural and logical thing toi do in either case is,
feed and replenish the soil or scalp as the case may be,
aud your crop will grow and multiply as nature intended
it should. . , .

Dr. Knowlton's DANDERINE
is the only remedy for the hair ever discovered that is identical
with the natural hair foods or liquids of the scalp. It feeds and
nourishes the hair and does all the work originally carried on by
the natural nutrients or life-giving juices generated by the scalp
itself, i It penetrates the pores of the scalp quickly and the hair
soon shows the effects of its wonderfully exhilarating aud life
producing qualities.

A IdYSTERIOUS BEAST.
Virginia
The Snake Woman of the
Mountains.
There has just started from James
town, Va., an expedition headed by sev
eral veteran mountaineers having for its
object the investigation of a weird tale
regarding a snake woman, who it is al
leged, frequents the wild parts of the
moonsldne country.
This strange creature, who, several
witnesses have declared, resembles a
reptile as much as a woman, will b
captured if it is possiblo for the mem
bers of the expedition to catch a glimpse
of her. "A mountaineer on a visit to
Jamestown brought the tirst story of
the snake woman, and claimed to be one
of the very few persons who had actu
ally seen her.
i'or years, lie stated, tales of a wild
woman with the skin cf a snake, who
traveled upon the ground like a reptile
and subsixted on living prey, have been
told, but these tales were generally 're
garded as idle rumors. Ktone Colby, a
grizzled mountaineer who visited the ex
position, however, declares that the sto
ries, instead of lieing exaggerated, only
tell half the truth about tho strange
woman. It was he who made the offer
to lead an expedition to the place where
tbe woman lives.
According to Stone, the snake woman
is about 25 years old, and in physical
conformation and habits so tlwely ap
proaches the reptile species that she
might be regarded as a missing link be
tween it and the human race. Stone
declares she is more like a snake than
like a woman. He has never seen her
assume an erect position.
Covered with tho scaly skin of a
snake and shedding it regularly oneo
La year in one piece, the snake woman
