The Grare of Nnpoleou.

A correspondent of the Pbiladel phia Pres,
writes from st. Helena, giving an account
OF visit to the residence and grave Of Ma,
poleon Bonaparts at St. Helena. The house
at LongEood is hardly thirty>6Ve feet FROM
BY 70 deep. There is look of 6arreness
aud desOlatiou about the place. High and
preeiPisous ridges rise up on all sides. IL
almost all of them batteries were placed con
verglng upon this one poor, miserable house
The French officer in keeping said that il
rained continually, and that at times the
wind was piercing cold, and that the house
was in the worst position for the Winter
wind and Summer heat. The heavy mois-
ture brought into the island by the south
east trades is very bad on rheumatism.
Napoleon continually complained of this

ed, the largest being twelve or fourteen
feet.
A small wooden rail surrounds the space
in the drawing room where the exiled En-
peror died, and bust of him stands upon q
pedestal inside After Napoleon's death the
room in which he breathed his last wa:
converted into small mill for threshing
grain. The mark of the hole in the found
alton where the shaft went through is still
TO be seen. His bedroom was changed int
a cattle stable, aud the whole building devot
ed to cattle and pigs. In the rear of the
house is a fish. pond, made by the Emperor
himself. The English charged excessive
fees for exhibiting the home and tomb Of
their great enemy, and before Louis Napol'
con obtained possession of Longwood he
had to enter into an agreement with a Mr.
Mass, of St. Helena, to pay him e., 800 fol
lease of twenty>one years, the English
merely permitting him to buy the tomb aud
house Of the Emperor.
The tomb is located on an elevation two
thousand feet above the level of the sea, at
a spot which Napoleon himself selected, and
close by spring which he discovered The
tomb itself is plain stone slab, with no or
nament whatever. 1t is girt by an iron
railing and limited piece of ground with a
wooden fence; number Of willow trees are
planted near the tomb, and the sweet geran-
ium fourishes in abundance inside the irou

THE OLDEN TINE The following statis-
tics of the good winters are curious In
40l, the Black Sea was entirely frozen over.
In 768, not only the Black Sea-, but the
Straits Of the Dardanelles, were frozen over,
the snow in some places rose fifty feet high.
In 822, the great rivers of Europe-the
Danube, the Elbe, tc.,-were so hard fro
zen as to bear heavy wagons for month. In
99l, everything was frozen the crops totally
failed, and famine and pestience closed the
year. In 1867, the most of the travellers in
Germany were frozen to death on the roads.
In 1882, the Po was frozen from Cremona
to the sea the wine casks were burst, and
even the trees were split by the action of the
frost, with immense noise In 1886, the
Danube was frozen to the bottom, and re.
mained long in that state. In 1916, the
crops wholly failed in Germany; wheat,
which some years before sold in England at
six shillings the quarter, rose to two pounds.
In 1889, the crops failed in Scotland, and
such famine ensued, that the poor were
obliged to feed on grass, and many perished
miseraby in the fields. The successive win
ters of I432-3-4 were uncommonly severe.
1t once showed forty days without interup-
ton. In l468; the wine distributed to the
soldiers iu Flanders was cut with hatchets.
In 1884, the winter was excessively cold.
Most of the hollies were killed. Coaches
drove along the Thames, the ice was eleven
inches thick In 1909, occurred the cold
winter. The frost penetrated three yards
into the ground. In 1917, booths we're erec.
ted aud fairs held on the Thames In 1744
and l745, the strongest ale in England, ex-
posed to the air, was covered in less than
fifteen minutes, with ice an eighth of an
inch. In 1909, and again, in 1912, the
winters we're remarkably cold. In 1914,
there was fair on the frozen Thames.

SEEING IS DECEIvING.-Here is a row
of ordinary capital letters and figures
.SSSSS XXZZZZ3333 3SS88S
They are such as are made up of two parts
of equal shapes. Look carefully at these
and you will perceive that the upper halves
of the characters are a Uery lille smaller
than the lower halves-so little that an orr
dinary eye will declare them to be of equal
size. Now turn the page upside down, and
without any careful looking, you will see
that this difference in size is very much
exaggerated-that the real top half of the
letter is very much smaller than the bottom
half 1t will be seen from this that there is
a tendency in the eye to enlarge the upper
part of any object upon which it looks. We
might draw two circles of unequal size, and
SO place them that they should appear equal.

Crocodile and Ichneumon.

A crocodile of great size and ferceness in
tested the banks of the Nile, and spread
terror and desolation through all the coun-
try round. He ate up the shepherds and
the sheep, the herdsmen and the cattle to-
sether Everybody fled from before him.
Various plans were devised and many efforts
made for his destruction, but in vain. A
public meeting of the inhabitants was held,
to consider what should be done to rid the
country of this plague. While they were
consulting together the ichneumon stepped
forth, and thus addressed them. The
ichneumon is a small animal, and lives on
crocodile's eggs.
Il see your Distress said the ichueumon /;
and though l cannot assist you in your
present difficulty, yet | can offer you some
advice that may be of use to you for the
future. A little prudence is worth all your
courage it may be glorious to overcome a
great evil, but the wisest way is to prevent
it. You despise the crocodile while he is
small aud weak but when he gains his full
size and strength, you fear him and flee from
him. You see l am a poor little feeble
creature. vet am much more terrible to the
crocodile and more useful to the country
than YOU are. attack him in the egg !;
while you are contriving, for months togeth>
er, how to get rid of one crocodile, and all
to no purpose, effectually destroy fifty of
them in a day @
This fable dear child, is intended to show
The danger of suffering Ill habits to grow;
For the fault of week may be conquered, tits
clear.
Much easier than if went on for year.
Yes, children, take lesson from the wise
little ichneumou. When you fnd out bad
habit or evil temper, attack Il in the egg.
Don't wait till, like the crocodile, it grows
SO strong and fierce that you can do nothing
with it.

4 Young adv IN snyd,r County. Penn

A YOUNG lady in Snyder County, Penn
sylVania, was recently in the garden picking
blackberries A piercing scream from her
alarmed the rest of the family, who were al
the tea>table. fastening to the spot, they
found her on the ground insensible. She
was carried into the house, and, sad 10 relate
examination proved that she was dead. Her
friends, on proceeding to prepare the body
for internent, were horror stricken to find
an immense black snake ooiled tightly
around her person, underneath her clothing
There being no evidence of the snake hav>
ing bitten her, the inference was that the
young lady died from fright.

AT an inlen ded wedding just as the cere-
monies were about to begin, the bride sud
denly called upon the bridegroom to adjure
tobacco, on pain of forfeiture of welded
bliss, etc, which he refused to do-then and
there taking fresh quid from his tobacco
box, to show his independence. Whereupon
the young lady took out dainty box. took
a chew, amid the applause of the guests, and
ordered the minister to 60 ahead. This was
too much for the bridegroom, who fed the
scene, leaving the girl triumphant with q
piece Of liquorice in her mouth.

IT has often been remarked that, when a
stranger enters st. Peters for the first time
the immediate expression is one of disap-
pointment; the building looks smaller than
he expected 10 find it. So it is with the
first sight of mountains their SUBMITS never
seem so near the clouds as we had hoped to
see them. But closer acquaintance with
these, and with other grand. or beautiful obs
jects, convinces US that our first impression
arose not from want of greatness in what
we saw, but from a want of comprehensive
ness in ourselves to grasp it; what we saw
was not all that existed, but all that our
uutaught science could master. As we
know it better, it remains the same but we
rise more nearly to its level; our greater
admiration is but the proof that we are be-
come able to appreciate it more truly.

TREASURE HUNrING,-Some years ago,
they say, in 1902, a Spanish vessel laden with
untold treasure, but which is estimated at
SIX, ,000, 900, sunk near the Spanish coast
About these days an Anglo Dutch feet was
in Spanish waters engaged in the cheerful
work of destroying cities and towns. While
they were in front of Cadiz the Spanish YES
sells from the Indies arrived, aud not being
able to get into Cadiz, they sailed for Vigo,
where they arrived in safety. One of the
vessels of this Indian feet was heavily laden
with gold and silver. This could not be
landed without certain formaiities and SPAN
ish cred tape" which was in those days
more tangled than any "red tape" the
world over, was put in rsquisitiou. The cir.
cumlocution office /" was setin full blast, and
the Spanish revenue officer, one Juan de
Larea, was so specially, dillatory, that the
Dutch feet came around from Cadiz, pitched
into the Spaniards generally, seized thirteen
ships and sunk seven, one of the latter being
the treasure ship. There the treasure has
laid for these one hundred and sixty years,
and now contract has been made with an
American to raise the Spanish vessel and re-
cover the treasure if possible. 1t will be an
interesting search, and if the search is re-
warded, Spain will be put in funds that in
l702 would have been quickly wasted.

MARK TWAIN ON FEMALE SUFFRAGE
Mark Twain" writes TO his "Cousin Jeur
ME" on the subject of Female Suffrage"
as follows:
" Women will never be permitted to vote
or hold office, Jennie, and it is lucky thing
for me and many other men that such is the
decree of fate. Because, you see, there are
some few measures they would all unite on
there are one or two measures that would
bring out their entire voting strength, in
spite of their antipathy 10 make themselves
conspicuous, and there being vastly more
women than men in this State, they would
trot these measures through the Legislature
with a velocity that would be appalling. For
instance they would enact:
l. That all men should be at home by 10
P. NJ, without fail.
2. That married men should bestow con.
siderable attention on their wives
8. That it should be hanging offence to
sell whiskey in saloons, and that fine and
disfranchisements should follow drinking in
such places.
4. That the smoking of cigars to excess
should be forbidden, and the smoking of
pipes entirely abolished.
5. That the wife should have a little prop
erty of her own, when she married man
who hadn't any.
Jennie, such tyranny as this we would
never stand our free souls would never en-
endure such degrading tbaldrom. Women
go your way Seek not to beguile us of our
imperial privileges. Content yourselves with
fop, mi friA hobi
benevolent societies aud your knitting-and
let your natural bosses do the voting. Stand
back you will be wanting to go to war next.
We will let you teach school as much as you
want to, and we will pay you half wages for
it. too; but beware We don't want you
to crowd US TOO much"

ico Of melody went to hotel where she had
recently stopped, and bribed the chamber
maid to procure some relic of the great song

get we're two cakes of soap, both of which
had been in the Diva's washing stand. One
was more used than the other, and the ques-
ion arose, which was the more valuable as a

ously have passed through fewer hands since
it was last elasped in Malibran's fingers

NUMBER 4S.
The Public Debt.

The question of how the public debt is to
be paid sinks out of sight in the presence of
current revolutions The hnndholder would
gladly accept payment Of his claims, and
consent TO share in the burdens of Governs
ment, rather than take the hazard of seeing
public credit engulfed in a deficit at the rate
Of hundred millions year
Men lose the comprehension of the i'm.
mense sums to which the debt has risen. and
to which it is destined to mount. The hu.
man mind is incapable of comurebendinc
these vast sums and sinks helplessly before
them, when smaller amounts that they could
graPple with would excite all their indippa.
tion and fears
The Paris Pdtrie recalls the celebrated
phrase of General Poy, when, from the tri,
bune OF the Chamber of Deputies, on the
occasion of the bill for granting an indemnity
of a thousand millions of francs TO the
French enli9res, he said: DO you know
that an equal number Of minutes has not
elapsed since the death of Jesus Christ p
Although these words were pronounced
nearly half century ago, we have not vet
attained the amount. On the 25th of De.
cember next, calculating twenty bissextile
years in every hundred, there will only have
passed 932, 1868, ,089 minutes since the birth
of our Savior. A twelve month contains
525, 900, so that we shall have to wait an.
other thirty years before reaching this famous
milliard, which will only be completed in
1902.
The thousand millions of francs, the mag,
nitude of which Cen FOy so impressively
presented, is a mere fraction-a twelfth
of the debt laid upon our people.
Not so many minutes have elapsed since
the dawn of creation as are represented in
this immense array of figures. And it yawns
still wider-it threatens to engulf still more
of the property of the people and the fruits
of the labOrs of generations to come
A deficit less alarming than this caused
the revolution, in France, probated the mon
archy and the church, and crumbled public
credit in the dust If it does not bring re.
form here, it will usher in revolution and
the disasters will fall upon the selfish classes
whose greed and rapacity brought it tho

WHAT IT CosTs TO - KEEP A HoTEL."-
A New York correspondent gives some in
teresting facts as to what it costs in the
course of year to keep first class hotel
He says: The bills of first class hotel,
for supplies, are enough to support good
many small families, especially if they. pracr
tice economy, and don't keep dogs and horses
and Saratoga trunks. For example, l will
give you some items from the balance sheet
of the Astor House, the oldest first class
hotel in the city. The Astor House pays
S75, 900 year for groceries, including S8,>
900 for -four and S22, 900 for butter. The
marketing bill is about $50 000-they pay
one man from S55, 900 to 100000 for beef
alone, and the balance of the Sl50, 900 goes
for mutton, veal, pork, poultry, vegetables,
fish, etc. The milk aud cream for the Astor
cost $4,000, about two thirds of it being
for milk and one-third for cream. Eggs
cost about $4,000, the average use being
100 dozen daily, or 10000 dozen annually.
The gas bill is $4,000, ard the coal bill
pretty much the>same friction matches cost
81 so day, or about $500 a year; good
many of these are not used in the house,
but find their way into the pockets of the
patrons. Who would think of paying for
wooden toothpicks when anybody can whit~
tie one with little trouble A million are
used every year in the Astor House at an
expense Of something less than Sl00. The
bill for liquors for the bar>room is a heavy
one, but, fortunately for the proprietor, the
amount received from patrons is a great
deal more. .rl 80 ssos. q d5.s1- .5zl, sa

TIE New MAGNETo- ELECTRIC LIGHT
We published yesterday very interesting
account of the new magneto-electric light
used on board the New York and Havre mail
steamship, the st Laurent. This splendid
light is almost as brilliant as that of the sun.
1t will penetrate the densest fog distance
of TWO or more miles, and its rays can be
seen at night, through an ordinary atmos-
phere and at a sufficient altitude, for thirty or
forty miles. The electro magnetic batteries
manufactured by the Compagne PAlliance of
Paris, which are used on the St. Laurent,
have this improvement over all others, that
the light produced is continuous Until
this machine for the generation of electricity
was invented similar brilliant light could
be obtained, but no dependence could be
placed on it. Now, however, continuous
ness has been obtained, and as much so as
from gas or any other Illuminating process.
Experiments were made on Tuesday night
with the light on board the French steams
ship for the qualification of the curious and
scientific AS the beautiful moving reAec-
tor was lighted up, the river and the shores
of New Jersey were made as clear almost as
under the solar rays. The whole cost of
manufacturing the battery and its appurte
nances is said to be only about four thou
sand dollars, while the current cost of the
materials used is Insignificant. Why should
not every ship at sea be provided with this
light? 1t would save numbers of lives and
a vast amount of property by preventing
collisions and wrecks. Why should not all
our lighthouses use it? Why, indeed, should
not our cities be illuminated by it instead of
gas 1t would furnish a cheaper and far
more brilliant light. If it should be too
intense for lighting cities, no doubt scientific
men will be able to tone it down or regulate
it. 1t seems to us that this new invention
is destined to revolutionize the present modes
of Illumination, and we call the attention of
our scientific men and government authors
ties to the subject.-N 7. Herald.
