Baron Prokesch, the Austrian plenf potentiary and president of the Diet, In the early days at Frankfort, was much in the habit of bullying. One evening, when at a large social gather ing, Bismarck and Prokesch, 'surround ed by a brilliant group of. diplomats, were discussing a protocol based on certain equivocations, Prokesch said, looking straight at Bismarck: "If that were not true, then I, in the name of my imperial master, should have been guilty -of lying!" Returning his gaze without a symptom of faltering, "Pre cisely so, your excellency," slowly said Bismarck. The group, thunderstruck and embarrassed, scarcely knew which way to turn. Prokesch moved away; but later, at the supper-table, he came over to Bismarvk with a glass of cham pagne and "Well, let us make peace." "Assuredly," said Bismarck, "but the ) protocol must be altered." And it was. Tliroat raralvsi?. (From the Courier-Herald, Sajinavo, Jic7l.)

Philadelphia has fcrty more saloons this year than hist. The price of the first drink is often th? value of a character. lietwecu the ages of twenty-live and thirty rehi re ten total abstainers die, thirty-one moderate drinkers die. In the workhouses of London during 1895 itd'Jj were spent on beer, "1905 upon wine, itud upon spirits. The beer consumed in the United States lat year would nil a canal ten feet deep, llfty leet wide and fifty miles long. The elimination of the drink curse from the country would render almost business I' ?s the police courts and let up mightily on the country's expenditure for crime. "Will vou take something?" said a tee- d -taler to a friend standing near a tavern - "Well. I don't mind if I do." "Come," sab: the teetotaler, "then, let's take a walk.'' A temperance society of boys, from twelve t " seventeen vears of acre, was iatelv orgaa- Z" I at Newdiritain,' Conn., and more than joined tne organization at report, though Sirs. O. in response to the question whether she objected to being interviewed, said, "Certainly not." Her story follows: "About li years ago wa defied to take our abode in Dover and everything went alon smoothly for several years, business progressed, and being of a saving tempera- ' ment we accumulated quite an amount. Oar j family increased as ihe.yea.r3 rolled by an! we now hr.ve 5 eh 11 lren living, the oldesi 15, youngest 3, but sickness made its way into pur household, and doctors' bills flooded upon us, until we have nothing left but our home" and these sweet children. Everything vent to satisfy the claim3 of physiciaas. 'About throe years ago I had a miserable feeling at the back of my ears, my right hand became paralyzed and the paralysis exten ti ed to my arm and throat, aud would affect my head and eyes, sometimes for days I would lose my sight, my face wa3 deformed, lifeless as it were, ray nose was drawn to one Fide, aDd I presented a pitiable appearance and never expecting to regain my natural facial expressions. I employed the best phy sicians that coull 1;3 procured, expending thousands of dollars -for their' services, but could not obtain relief. At last, they stated my case was beyon I the reae'i of medical skill, and it would be but a shove time until the end would come. Tats certainly was not very encouraging to me. but I never gave up hope. In connection with receiving the at tendance of physicians I have tried every medicine kuown to the apothecary but never received anv relief until Dr. Williams' Pink i Pills for Pale People came to mv assistance, i Pefore I had take i half of the hrst box the ! deformity in my face had left me, and before j four boxes had been consumed the paralysis i had disappe-,.re 1 entirelv, and much to my surprise I felt like a new woman.

These Pills are worth their weight in gold.

It has beeii remarked that -times' of speculation are invariably accompanied by increase of marriages.. Dr. Fair, the eminent statistician, hazards there fore, the suggestion that iris the spirit of speculation itself that leads many, to embark on matrimony at such times. Another reasonvvhich he is careful not to ignore, is the increased prosperity that induces and sometimes seems to accompany what ho calls the periodical epidemics of speculation. A great war, after it is over, is good for marriage. So is a good harvest, so is the estab lishment of new industries or the ex tension of old ones. The reason is the same in 'all these instances; the in creased prosperity of the general body of the people. So intimately is matri mony associated with national well doing that it has come to be styled the barometer of prosperity. .Its indica tions, however, are more for the f uturo than for the present, dealing rather with the expected and anticipated than with the actual. But this only goes to substantiate what was said of mar riage as speculation. The nation is sometimes extraordinarily sanguine, and when this is the case marriages are-plentiful. Great popular leaders inspire this feeling. A statesman of genius at the head of affairs perceptibly increases the marriage rate. In a word, the great fluctuations in the marriages, are the result of peace after war, abun dance after dearth, high wages afteir want of employment, speculation after languid enterprise, confidence after dis trust, and national triumphs after na tional disasters. The marriage returns Invariably show a corresponding increase for any argumentation in the duties paid upon malt, wine and spirts. They in the same way keep pace with the consumption of tea, sugar, coffee and tobacco, and with the imports of raw silk, cotton, wool and timber. The one increase is not, however, the cause of the other; both are but effects of the same cause Increased national prosperity. Mar riages after banns are live times as numerous as marriages after licenses. When the price of wheat is high the diminution in the former class is com paratively much greater than in the lat ter. They are the first to be affected by high prices, licenses and banns being regarded as the prospective badges of capital and labor not without import ant exceptions, however. Autumn Is the favorite season every where; with a few spring is preferred. Half the wed dings throughout the country are cele brated on Wednesday and Thursday. Saturday has more than the average number. Friday is not a favorite, as few marriages are celebrated on that day. Widowers are more inclined to marry than bachelors. Widows are more inclined to marry than spinsters. Both facts are eloquently In favor of the comparative advantages of matri mony. For one bachelor that marries between the ages of 50 and 55 seven widowers remarry between these ages. These are marriages out of an equal number of each class; the actual num ber of bachelors married will be great est only in proportion as they I exceed by seven to one the actual number of widowers living at these ages. Under the same conditions, for every spinster married between 30 and 05 two widows are remarried. New York Dispatch. Good Sound Conductor.

An old cavalryman says that a horse' will never step on a man intentionally. It is" a standing order In the English cavalry that, should a man become dis-; mounted, he must lie down and keep perfectly still. If he does so the entire troop will pass jover him without his being injured. A horse notices where he is going, and is on the lookout for ai firm foundation jto put his feet on; It Is an instinct with him, therefore, to step over a prostrate man. The injuries caused to human beings by a runaway, horse are nearly always inflicted by; the animal knocking them down, and lot by his stepping on them.
