STAY AT HOME.

ANY man who is earning decent iveh
hood had better remain in his own neigh
borhood, even though times are hard. Dull
times are always followed by periods of ac-
tivity, and one is better prepared to secure
the advantages of a revival i'm business where
he is known than among strangers. Again,
moving about is demuralizin5 in its tenapn-
cr, expensive, and destructive. Seldom do
we hear OF the removal of a man from a

ierested. active and public spirited. Notifies z

par ly at your own door, when a desire to
leave the familiar nei shborhood silences
your better judgment and prompts the sun
dering of the ties OF early association. Don't
leave your home.

The Mother OF Napoleon ].

How little is known of the mother OF
Napoleon. Letitia, the wife of Carlo
Bonaparte. was married at II, and be-
came the mother of thirteen children, of
whom five died in infancy She was
only l9 when her second child, the
wonderful Napoleon was born. At the
age of 80 she was left widow, with
eight children, of whom three were
daughters. Joseph, the oldest, and Ma
poleon were then attending school, and
the remainder of the family were soon
compelled to remove from Corsica to es-
cape the dangers of the war. Within
two years from this time Letitia Bona
parte saw her second son the first gem
eral in Europe. When he became en-
peror, she removed to Paris, and was
appointed protectoress of charitable
institution. She was then 81, and her
intense anxiety concerning Napoleon
rendered her life one of constant dis
tress. The rejection of Josephine, the
retreat from Russia, the exile to
Elba, and Waterloo, were among her
sad memories. She was 65 when no
was banished to st. Helena, and SIX
years afterward she heard of his
death After his fall she retired to
Rome, where she died in 1886, being
then sc. She lived in widowhood 81
years, and had survived not only Ma
poleon, but also her two daughters,
Marie and Pauline. No other woman
was the mother of so many monarchs:
for while Napoleon was emperor, her
Oldest son, Joseph, was king of Spain,
while the youngest, Jerome, was king
of Westphalia Louis was at the
same time king of Holland, Lucien,
Prince of Carlo The three daughters
were also, through marriage, each raised
to the dignity of princess. A record
of family honors equal with the fore
going has never been met with.

Did Not Save the Gear.

AS is well known when the Car was
fired at in 1866 by Karakosof, in the
Summer Garden, the first officer who
came in the scene was Gen. Todleben
The assassin was gone, but the General
found, lying on the spot and apparently
insensible, Young peasant whose name
proved afterward 10 be Ossip Ivanowitch.
Another young man, an apprentice, who
was there likewise, but was never heard
of al,erward, asserted that he had actually
seen Ossip pull back the ann of the as
sassin as the latter was firing his pistol,
and that the former had, consequently,
saved the lie of the Gar. The fact was
at once considered proved, and young
Ossip was lionized into hero, and in
troduced TO the C2ar,who made noble
man of MIN under the name OF Komis-
sarof. For a whole season the young
fellow, under the guidance OF Gen. Tod
leben, was the idol of St. Petersburg So
ciety. His father, non-political convict
in Siberia, was recalled, and after tri-
umphal Journey, admitted to share in the
new prosperity OF his sons. Eventually,
when the enthusiasm had cooled down,
it was ascertained that Ossip had never
saved the life OF the Car at all, and that
being slightly tipsy when the event took
place close by him. he had simply been
frightened by the pistols report, and had
tainted. The matter was hushed up as
soon as possible-they manage that sort
OF things very we'll in St. Petersburg
and the new nobleman was provided with
a Lieutenancy in the Caucasus. sup.
pose he is still there.-London Truth,

The Dignity Of Bells

With what strange and solemn mem
cries have bells yet extant been associat-
ed The long green bell in the leaning
tower of Pisa, said to date back to the
thirteenth century, which has -rung for
ages AS the sad professions of criminals
have passed over the bridge to execution
the very bell which, perchance, an
nounced to the awe-s,ruck Pisans that
the wretched Ugolino, starved TO death
at the bottom of the tower, had at length
ceased to breathe. The great Carolus
at Antwerp, which first rung in 1857
when Charles the Bold entered the city
the storm-bell III Strasburg Cathedral,
which still warns the traveller of the
tempest seen from afar sweeping over
the Nosges the small bell Horrida, the
tocsin, l2l6, covered with mildew, which
hangs high up in Notre Dame at An
twerp, and is never rung, by reason of
its age and infrmities the gate bell in
many an old fortified town that still
sounds at the shutting and opening of
the city portals the curfew, which,
from time immemorial, has rung over the
flats of Cambridge and the fens of Ely,
and still greets the ears of the freshman,
reminding of the time when the neigh
borhood was one waste of perilous and
poisonous marshes; the old Tourney
bells, which from their city belfry greet
the silent colossal five towers of the
grandest church in Belgium, and strike
the ear of the traveller as he hurries
along the high road from Lille, almost
before the beacon-light on the summit Of
the belfry salutes his eyes-and these
are the chance specimens that rise in my
memory at random. Good Words.

A Tenants Complaint Answered.

A squire in one of the Midland coun-
ties was applied to short time since by
one of his tenants who asked for re-
duction in the rent, similar as he said, TO
that which has been made by other land
owners. The squire pointed out to the
tenant that he had not, like these land
owners, previously raised his rents, and
that, in fact, the family Of this very tenant
had held the same farm at the same rental
for generations The farmer admitted
this, but pleaded that the times were hard
and that he could not make both ends
meet, and could not think how it was that
things were so bad. Hereupon the squire
said: Il think l saw your son out with the
hounds the other day." Eyes, sir, he
was out; he's very fond of hunting !
hope you don't think there's any harm in
that" "Oh, dear, no. l think when
my wifes maid came back from London

tersi" "Yes, sir, she did; the girls like

Submarine Telephoning.

Mr.. Chas. Ward Raymond, c. T., des-
cribes in Van Nostrands Engineering
Magazine the result of some experiments
with the telephone in submarine oper-
atoms at depths moi exceeding thirty feet.
One telephone (Puelbs' Duplex was
placed in the divers helmet, and fastened
in such position that, BY simply turning
his head. he could place his mouth or his
ear 10 the instrument. The other telc-
phone was placed ON the scow which car
ried the air-purip and divers helpers.
Using Edison's Carbon Transmitter, with
the addition OF an induction coil and cell
of battery, the arrangement was perfectly
successful. Conversation was carried on
with the utmost facility; it was not nee
essary to give the diver any signal other
than simple "hallo!" 1t was also found
that the diver could talk in the helmet
without putting his mouth TO the instru-
inert. and he heard plainly, and there
fore he could continue his work and COP
versation at the same time. The battery,
induction coil and transmit,er were placed
on a shelf on the divers scow, and to-
geiher occupied no more room than

The Royal Eyes of England.

Most Englishmen know Her Majesty
by sight, have seen the fne-cut features
which have possibly become little heavy
BY age, but which remain in most re-
markable degree aristocratic, though
comparatively few, perhaps, have heard
the clear, ringing voice, which is de-
lightful in ordinary conversation, but
which becomes most painfully Disagree
able and unpleasant when excited, or have
seen the heavy-lidded eyes wake and fash
lightning for a moment, and then sink
back into disdaintul repose. These
flashes of light in the eyes are common TO
only three members of the royal family
the Queen, the Prince of Wales, and
the Princess Beatrice. 1t is an extra.
ordinary phenomenon: the whole face
changes for an instant when suddenly lit
up with the excitement shed from the
eyes, and the physiognomy is entirely
altered for the moment. The late Lord
Russell said once to Lord Dalling that he
would rather face anything than Her Ma
jesty's displeasure, for "it dazzled and
shocked you like sword suddenly I'M
sheathed in the sunlight" The metaphor
is apt and true, and friend OF ours who
was dining at the royal table at Windsor
on one occasion when Her Majesty be-
came suddenly displeased with certain
member of her family whom we i'll not
name, has often assured US that her face
changed so for an instant as to be almost
rnrecognizabe.- Whitehall Review.

Do the Dying Suffer Pain ?

People do not like to think of death.
1t is an unpleasant subject, but it con-
stantly obtrudes itself, and there has
been much speculation as to whether
mental or physical pain attends the final
act. Observation teaches us that there
is little pain of either kind in dying.
Experience will come to us all one of
these days. but it will come too late to
benefit those who remain. 1t seems to
be kind provision of nature that, as
we approach the dread event, our terrors
diminish, and the coward ana hero die
fearless, indifferent or resigned.
AS to physical pain, Dr. Edward H.
Clarke in "Visions" says: ''The rule is
that Inconsistencies, not pain, attends
the final act. To the subject of it death
is not more painful than birth Pain
lessly we come; whence we know not.
Painlessly we go; whittier we know not.
Nature kindly provides an anesthetic
for the body when the spirit leaves it.
Previous to that moment, and in prep
aration for it, respiration becomes feeble,
generally slow and short, sudden expira-
tions, so that the blood is steadily less
and less oxygenated. At the same time
the heart acts with corresponding de-
bility, producing a slow, feeble and
often irregular pulse. As this process
goes on, the blood is not only driven to
the head with diminished force and in
less quantity, but what flows there is
loaded more and more with carbonic acid
gas, a powerful annsthetic, the same as
that derived from charcoal Subject to
it's influence the nerve-centers loose con
seriousness and sensibility, apparent
sleep creeps over the system, then comes
stupor, and then the end"

Wonderful Mlrages.

The excursionist in Arizona, writes a
correspondent ofthe San Francisco Bulle-
lin, in leaving his couch before sunrise,
must not be surprised TO see lakes where
the maps show no water, and mountains
turned bottom-side upward in the air, and
such other illusions As aerial castles, .orlil-
cations, railroads, forests and all descrip-
tons of architecture. 1t was only few
weeks ago, between ella Bend and Mari
copa. that | witnessed 4 mos; marvellous
and exquisite series OF transformations
reflected by the phenomenon OF mirage.
The Sierra de las Es,rslla mountain had
entirely disappeared, and in its place was
a walled City upon the margin Of beau
.iiul lake. All at once the city disap-
peared; castellated mountain rose in
the middle of the lake and turned into a
palace, which, after balancing itself in the
air, toppled over and sank into the bos-
ON of the tranquil waters. Then arose a
multiplicity of groiesque elevations, which
rapidly assumed the character Of fairy
islets, with lakelets within themselves;
then, owirg to the unequal densities and
fracting powers of the adjacent strata of
air, the islets became transformed castles,
cathedras, buttresses, cubes, fortifcations
and other rock systems of architecture
which only survived, however, 10 vanish
on perfect completion. Again arose an
object which resembled magnificent
opera-house, cathedral, with the requisite
description OF gothic windows and domes,
balustrades, imposing arches and door
ways and many-colored lamps. This
last picture gave way 10 an immense tube,
which seemed TO be suspended in the air
until shivered into almost infiaitesimal
fragments, each Of which assumed va
riety of shapes, with serrated borders, and
soon vanished or became truncated be-
low the horizon. Then arose an i'm
mense island, in shape not unlike Alca-
tras; again it closely resembled Gibraltar,
lifted in the air, all the while presenting
an aspect as threatening as either Of the
strongholds above named. Then came
the Pyramids, and anon, the Casa Grande,
precisely as i: exists fifty miles away.
Presently great broad white scarf seemed
to have been thrown over the las. named
elevation, yet permitting formation like
the picture of toe Crock OF Ages
