"How Much IL My Boy Worth 2"

Some years ago Horace Mann de-
livered an address at the opening of
some reformatory institution for boys,
during which he remarked that if only
one boy was saved from ruin, it would
pay for all the cost and care and labor
of establishing such all institution as
that. After the exercises had closed, !,
in private conversation, gentleman
rallied Mr.. Mann upon his statement,
and said to him did you not color
that little, when you said that all
expense and labor would be repaid if
it onl y saved one boy"
"Not if it was my boy" was the
convincing reply.
There is wonderful value about
"my boy" Other boys may be rude
and rough, other boys may be reckless
and wild other boys may be left to
drift uncared for, 10 the ruin which is
so near at hand; but "my boy, 1T
were worth the toll Of n lifetime, and

NAPOLRON'S HUNDRED DAYS.

On the first of March, 1915, after an
exile of six months, and while the
sovercigns of the Holy Alliance were
busily employed in arranging affairs
in Europe after the old fashions, Nap
oleon stepped from n little vessel to
the quay at Frejus, in the south Of
France, with a company of about n
dozen persons, and began a march on
Paris which is perhaps the most aston
ishing on military record. The Bour-
bon monarchy was guarded by 200,-
600 armed men, and guaranteed by
all the kings of Europe, when Napo-
leon set out. On the second of march
he and his little party approached Vi
zelle, where strong regiment was
drawn mp. Flinging open his coat
and barring his breast, he advanced
and asked aloud if the soldiers want.
ed to shoot their old commander. The
effect was instantaneous and in half
an hour he was on his march to Gren-
oble, at the head of his late opponents.
lie performed the same sort of militia
ry miracle at the barricades of the
latter city, raised to oppose hm, and
still pressed his march forward. At
Lyons he found himself suddenly at
the head of an army, which the day
before, had obeyed the Due dArtois /;
and so Travelled onward, without paus-
ing, in a growing tumult of enthusiasm,
till he found himself once more in the
old palace of Fontainebleau. Between
this place and Paris was massed the
army of Louis XVIII, commanded by
his brother, and sworn to seize the fu-
gitive. But the scene at Melun was
the crowniug astonisment. A hundred
thousand men, standing to their arms,
looked intensely toward the high road
TO the south. Suddenly coming over
the ridge, appeared single cdteche,
driven rapidly and holding three per-
sons--one of them being General
Drouet, another General Bertrand,
while the centre man stood with his
arms stretched forward History mar
rates what followed. While the army
rushed toward the emperor, the royal
princess fled to Paris, the caiechc
coming on swiftly behind them, back
ed by hundred thousand men. On
the same day, 10Th of March, Louis
XVIII was driving as rapidly in the
direction of Ghent, while Napoleon,
entering the Tuileries in the evening,
issued his orders as calmly as if he
never had left il. This, and other
authentic actions of Napoleon, throw
the fanciful and semi-fabulous exploits
Of Alexander and Caesar into the
shade, and sufficiently account for the

which infests every street and lane Of
Cabul and its environs and the ap-
peal for aims is incessant, and is re-
newed for every individual passer-by.
The appearance of these unfortunate
beggars is most pitiable; but imag-
inc they have reaped less abundant
harvest from the English occupation
than any other class of the population
not that their appeals are wanting
in pathos or addressed to Implying
ears, but the copper coin Of the coun-
try is inconvenieut to carry, and the
English in Cabul, following the custom
in India, rarely carry the currency of
the realm in their pockets.
Female figures are rare in the streets
of Cabul, though ghost-like forms oc-
casionally meet the eye tramping on
foot through the muddy lanes and
buying simple articles for household
use at the stalls Of the various vendors.
The form and appearance Of the boor-
ka, or shroud-like sheet which cnvcl-
opes the Afghan women when abroad,
will he familiar to most readers. OF
all female costumes it is surely the
ugliest and least graceful that ever
was invented but the completeness Of
the disguise awakens certain feeling
of curiosity in the householders to
know what it conccals. | have little
doubt that in 80 cases out Of 100,
where met with in the streets Of Cabul,
the boorka conceals something which
would give the beholder very little
pleasure to see. 1t is not to be sup
posed that any Afghan lady Of good
position would set her delicate feet in
the filthy mud of a Cabul street; and
the few female figures which meet the
eve are, | have no doubt, those Of some
household drudge or hOusekeeper in
humble life catering for the wants Of
a mistress or hardworking husband.
1t is the fashion to fancy that the
boorka, when worn abroad, always
conceals some intrigue, and that in
countries where it is used the morals
of the female sex are Of the looscst
kind. 1t is very commonly forgotten
what n dreadful penalty any indis-
cretion on the part of women carries
in strict Mohammedan countries, and
given the inclination, greatly doubt
if the danger incurred by indulging
it does not generally turn the scale in
favor of virtue. | do not forget how
Kaye attributed the Afghan outbreak
of lS4l in a great measure TO the i'm
moralities of the English officers. In
those days several officers of the Cabul
army OF occupation had houses in the
city Of Cabul, and possessed facilities
for intrigue which are certainly not
shared by their successors of the pres
ent army, who live, without exception,
in Shurpur. But | have questioned
intelligent Aighans on this subject,
and their answer has been not that
the Afghans had to complain so much
Of intrigues against their honor as
that the English occupation of AZ
ghanistan had an inconvenient effect
upon the fair sex generally, for the
women believed that while the army
occupied their country English hui
manity would not allow the fearful
penalty TO be any longer exacted which
the laws OF Mahomet sanctioned.

Coal was first discovered in 1901 by a
hunter named Philip Ginter, on Sharp
Mountain, later known as Summit Hill.
He, little knowing or dreaming of the
Importance of his discovery, carried to
his hut what he supposed was black
stone. This piece of black stone lying
loosely on the surface of the ground,
Ginter stumbled against it one dark
night on bis way TO his hut. He stoop.
ed down to see what he had stumbled
against and found stone, shining and
OF peculiar blackness. Attaching TO it
no value whatever, he carried it to the
nearest town as a curiosity and gave it
away to perton going to Philadelphia,
where, after several experiments, it was
found 10 be anthracite coal. Subse.
quently, companies were formed, and
coal was first mined on Sharp Mountain
nine miles from Maurh Chunk.

DANIEL WEBSTER had an anecdote Of
old Father Searl, the minister of his
boyhoo6, which is too good TO be lost.
IL was customary then to wear buck.
skin breeches in cool weather. One
Sunday morning in autumn, Father
Searl brought his breeches down from
the garret, but the wasps had taken
possession during the summer, and were
having n nice time of 1t in them. BY
dint of effort he got out the intruders
and dressed for meeting. But while
reading the Scripture to the congrega.
ton he felt a dagger from one OF the
enraged small wasted fellows, and
jumped around the pulpit slapping his
thighs. But the more he slapped and
danced the more they stupg. The peo.
pie thought him crazy, but he explain.
ed the matter 10y saying: Brethren,
don't be alarmed the word Of the Lord
is In my mouth, but the devil is in my
breeches ?" Webster always told It
with great glee to the ministers.

Amusing Provisions in Old Wills.

A foreign review OF a new book entitled
"Curlosities of the Search Room; A Collec-
ton of Serious and Whimsical Wills y
writes as follows:
.The chapters on Eccentric Wills, on
Vindictive Wills and on Directions for
Burials contain some curious illustrations
of human frailty and folly. A certain DR..
Ederby bequeathes his heart to one friend
his lungs to another, and his brains to a
third, declaring that if they do not execute
his wishes with regard to them he will
come and torment them, if it should be
by any means possible" Another tesla
tor. an American, requires that his skin
may be converted into two drumheads,
upon which are to be inscribed Pope's Uni
versal Prayer and the Declaration of indie
pendence; another American, New Y ork-
er, leaves seventy one pair of trousers to be
sold to the highest bidder, without exami-
nation, no purchaser being allowed to pur-
chase more than one pair. In each pair
was found bundle of bank notes repre-
senting thousand dollars. A Frenchman
Institutes an annual race with pigs, to be
ridden by boys or men, with prize of ESQ
to the winner. A Baptist minister who
died last year declares IN his will that he
trusts to see the Church of England
brought down, and desires all posterlty to
know that he believes infant sprinkling to
be from his Satanic Majesty Another
dissenter, recently deceased, bequeaths
100000 upon trust for two neices upon
condition that neither of them marry,
minister of the Established Church, or
person holding an office or commission in
her Majesty's army"
Grotesque instructions with regard to
the testator's body are frequent in wills.
One man bequeathed his body to the I'm
perial Gas Company, to be consumed to
ashes in one of their retorts; and a New
York spinster desired to employ all her
money in building a church, but stipula-
ted that her remains should be mixed up
in the mortar used for fixing the first
stone. Some of the requests in what the
compiler calls 'Vindictive Wills have in
them touch of humor. Thus the Fifth
Earl of Pembroke writes: 4 bequeath to
Thomas May, whose nose did break at
a masquerade, five shillings. My inten-
ton had been to give him more; but all
who have seen his History of Parliament
will consider that even this sum is too
large; and certain DR.. Dunlop bequeaths
to his brother-in-law, Christopher, his
best pipe, out of gratitude that he married
my sister Maggie, whom no man of taste
would have taken,' and to his eldest sis
ter, Jean, his 'fve-acre field 'to console
her for being married to man she is
obliged to henpeck.'
