When the allies occupied Paris the
French officers, ut all times superior
with the small sword and equal with
the pistol 10 Englishmen, took every
opportunity 10 insult the officers be-
longing 10 the army Of occupation, and
1t has been alleged that there was q
club Of Frenchmen, the members Of
which had sworn TO devote their lives
TO the killing Of n by one Of the En-
glish army.
There was one Frenchman who boast
ed Of having killed q dozen Of English
officers, and promised to 90 on in this
work. One evening he staggered al
usual into his cafe, and to bis astonish-
ment actually saw n Of those hated
Anglais occupying his chair, be 1t re-
membered, that no one hitherto had
dared TO sit upon except himself. Mas.
tering his passion. he undid his sword
belt, and having placed his sword on
one side began TO insult the perfectly
inoffensive English officer who sat ~
unconscious looking in his 1.-THE French
mann's) chair. He trod upon the En-
glish toes, he deprived the Engiishman
OF his candles, he went from n thing
on TO another without nj all being able
in the least apparently to disturb the
others placidity. At last he snatched
the newspaper out OF the Englishman's
hand. and then the Briton slowly rose
up. displaying to the astonished eyes Of
the Gaul u guardsman some six feel
six inches high. The giant bending
across the table, seized hold OF the
Frenchman's nose with n hand and
his chin with the other, and, wrenchine
his mouth open, spat down his throat.
With a howl the Frenchman. holding
his under jaw with both hands, ran out
OF the ROOM. His jaw was broken, and
neither he nor any Of his comrades were
seen again at that cafe. We may as
well add that the English officer who
thus made an example Of bully was
the late General Sir James Simpson.
who for n time commanded in the
Crimea, and who from the day he join

He Won The Bet.

Soon after two o'clock yesterday the

mess house on Woodward Avenue was
raised and mans head and shoulders
appeared in sight. Next he thrust out
an arm, and pedestrians saw a small
rope in his hand. Twenty men halted
in less than a minute. A plank was
lying at the curb, and the general line
of reasoning was that the plank was to
be drawn up through the window.
"You'll break the glass if you try

group.
"That cord isn't stout enough! -
yelled third.
"Why don't they carry it up by way
of the stairsp" demanded man, as he
f1ourished his gold-headed cane around
and seemed much put out.
The cord came part way down and
stopped. Some ten different persons
volunteered the information of "more

that one of the crowd could grasp it.
He pulled down and the man above
pulled up, and four or five men seized
the plank and brought it to the rope.

to boost on it, and three more had hold

He Solved It.

We knew that some bad result would
proceed from the game of "ffteen."
The following incident, which happened
in a neighboring city a few days since,
illustrates the dangers to which men who
indulge in the game are liable: "About
II O'Clock at night a man was sitting in
his house studying on the game Of If
teen.' Several times he failed, but at
last he was about to be successful. He
reached forward to make the final move
in high exultation, when his housekeep-
er, who had watched the game with dis
gust at being unable TO understand IL,
upset the board, and told the excited
man 1t was time for him to 90 to bed.
Both parties recovered their equanimity
. few minutes later, when Police Ser
geant asked the woman what charge she
wished to make. Although her nose
was yet bleeding, she informed the Ser
geant she was satisfied, and the two
were dismissed. Albany argus.

The Game of Fifteen.

1t is the duty of the press to take
cognizance of every influence that has
any important bearing upon the public
health or public prosperity. tits, there
fore, morally impossible to longer avoid
recognition of the place that the gem
puzzle occupies in our general social
economy or the mastery it has obtained
over all minds. We have known for a
long time that it was violent in its at
tacks, but we had hoped it would be
simply sporadic. The evidences are,
however, at last unmistakable that it
has reached the proportions of an cpl
demic. Neither the wrinkled front of
age nor the cherubic brow of childhood
is proof against the contagion. Itcomes
in to divide the fascination of stock
speculations; it obtrudes itself before
the ledger of the merchant and, amid
the intricacies of specific and ad valorem
figures, he wonders if there is any way
in which the Is can be worked into its
own proper corner with the IA in the
path and - and IL guarding the side
streets, except by jumping or cutting a
hole in the side of the box. The black
smith at his anvil, and the carpenter,
the shoemaker and the Judge at their
respective benches betray in their hag-
gard countenances the ravages of this
nervous irritant. A Cornell student
was recently fined $15 for the violation
of an almost obsolete statute, when, but
for the institution of fifteen as the i'm
perial number, he would have been let
off with fine of not more than 81.

Dispensing Gifts at Lunches.

The extremely rich are just now try
ing to Guido each other in the magnifi-
cence of lunches and dinners. AS Ma
ture revolts against more than a GER
tain number of courses and a fixed
quantity of food, the cupidity of the
guests is catered to as well as their ap-
petites. Accordingly, it is now regarded
as the proper thing for Mrs. Nabob
when she gives a dinner or lunch to pro-
vide from one to five presents for each
one of her guests. While the most cul-
tivated society will probably pronounce
ere long its sentence of disapproval
upon this return to the shoddy display
of the Jim Fisk era, at present the Gus
tom is in vogue. Mrs. VIM. Ii. Van
derbilt few days ago gave lunch to a
number of lady friends, each one of
whom carried away four elegant pres
ents which were placed about her plate
The lunch cost several hundred dollars
and was of course in the highest
art of the French master of the kitchen,
and in itself was sufficiently compli-
mentary to the guests. When the pres
ents were heaped upon the favored
friends of the rich mans wife, they
made such q monument of magnificence
that for long period, in ambitious New
York society, Mrs. vanderbilt's enter
tainment will stand unsurpassed. Those
who partake of these grand affairs say
that they never carry away light hearts
they are expected to do as much for So
ciety and they are keenly conscious that
they can not affordit. They would pre-
fer modest, chatty affair, with no more
of souvenir than tea rose and n sprig
of geranium. Then they could meet
the very rich with ease and entertain
them with comfort, but the immense
parade of wealth saddens their social
delights.-NeU York Letter.

Bodily Heat.

1t is a remarkable fact that the tenn
perature of the body in health is always
the same in summer and winter, in the
arctic zone and in the torrid. This
seems the more remarkable in view Of
the fact that the body is just as subject
to the great law of radiation as every
other heated object. Itthrows off more
slowly in q warm temperature and moro
rapidly in a cold, but it always radiates
heat. The normal temperature of the
body is slightly above 50 F. A few de-
grees above indicates consuming fever;
few below, depressed condition that
tends to collapse and death. Expose
the living, healthy body and a red-hot
mass of equal size to the same freezing
temperature in long ride, and ut the
end of it the latter will be ice-cold,
while the temperature of the body will
stand precisely as at the start. The
explanation is, that the body Is self
heating. The heat is constantly radi-
ated, but it is as constantly generated,
and what is still more striking, the
healthy body so regulates its tempera-
ture that in cold climates 1t ever keeps
the heat up to the standard, and in
warm climates it keeps down
the excess. In the first case, the
consumption of the internal fuel-or
foods more rapid, and the appetite Is
keener to supply the demand, and the
digestion is more vigorous. In the sec
ond case, in warm climates, the con-
sumption of fuel-or foods much
slower, and the appetite Graves food that
has less Of the Matchmaking properties.
Further, if the heat tends to increase
beyond the standard, the body at once
covers itself with water (sweat), the
evaporation of which carries off the
dangerous excess. Heat in furnace is
caused by the union of the oxygen Of
the air with the carbon of the coal. So
heat is generated in the lungs by the
union Of the oxygen of the inbreathed
air with the carbon of the impure blood.
But this is not the only source. Similar
heat-generating changes take place at
every point in the whole body, as new
particles displace the old. A person
who eats good food, has a good diges-
ton, and good health generally, If prop
erly clothed, will rarely suffer from even
the severe cold of our Northern winters.

them was not sound, but he couldn't

ALT was young man of more than
ordinary ability aud business tact. From
the time he was II years old till after
he became of age he dealt in horses,
often owning three or four, and leaving
the humber details of farming and
steer-breaking to us duller boys. His
method was to buy promising colts of
the farmers in the back towns, and after
training them for the race-course, or
matching them for spans, to sell them
at handsome profit to dealers or to
gentlemen in distant cities.
He had now left his home with his
father and mother, and lived in the vii
lage, although he was often away to
both Portland and Boston. The villag-
ers said that he was making money fast !;
and it was also said that he spent it as
fast as he made it. There were many
reports, too, of his tricks in dealing with
customers, and of their suing him and
threatening him with arrest. He
seemed to prosper pecuniarily, however,
and drew round him clique of young
men who held that he was model of
shrewdness and smartness.

Mf. Moore arose and said emphatic
ally that some one had been looking
after them, and he was present for the
purpose OF Offering his resignation as
