A lar Of Gold.

While an old house in the Rue Viejlle
du Temple, Paris, was being demolished
a few weeks ago, mass of hidden treas
ure was brought to light. In copper
jar were found 1922 gold pieces of an
intrinsic value Of more than $50, 900.
Many of them are exceedingly rare.
Two workmen made the discovery, and J.,
according to French law, they were en-
titled to one half the valne of the coins,
which was promptly paid them by the
owner of the house. No soont had they
received the money then they took their
departure and indulged themselves in a
long carouse. After they had recovered
from their dissipation they set about
digging among the foundation at night
by the light OF lantern in the hope of
finding another mass of treasure. OF
course they found nothing. In day or
two they disappeared from Paris aud
have been heard from no more. The
old house was built in the fourteenth
century and had been occupied by a
SUPERINTENDENT of finance.

Louise Michel,

The Partisan correspondent of the
Etoile Beige has lad an interview with
Louise Michel (who is going to give a
lecture in Brussels), the revelations Of
which have been published. She was,
it seems, i'll earl y life a schOolmistress.
She was then a piOus Catholic, with a
tendency to mysticism, and she wrote
several devotional hymns. 1t was the
doctrine of eternal punishment as taught
by the church, she declares, which first
made her skeptical; and the support
given by the clergy to the empire turned
skepticlsm into downright disbelief and
hostility to all religion. She acknowl-
edged without hesitation, and even with
IA smile on her lips, that she had planned
the assassination of Napoleon ILL.,, and
afterward Of NJ. Thicrs. The downfall
of the empire saved the former; and she
was only dissuaded from proceeding to
Versailles to carry out her designs
against the latter by the representations
of Ferre, one of the communist leaders,
who convinced her that tine assassination
would inlure tue cause ot th" commune.
Her mission, she avowed, vas destrIc-
tion, to make a taJ'lta rdsd of the ex-
listing social organization. The idea of
reform was ridiculous, everything being
bad and rotten. When asked if she had
new social system thought ont to re-
replace the present one she acknowl-
edged she had not; but she trusted, after
the revolution, to the inspiration of some
great and fruitful idea which would
bring about complete social reuova-

for the thief. At o'clock in the morn

two dogs instead of maj, On the top Of

borhood, well known to him, cross be-

collie, feared by all other dogs; the sec.
ond was stranger, small terrier, just
slender enough to get through the hole
into the rabbit.house. The big dog,
who ON other occasions never noticed
his smaller comrades, had evidently
come to an understanding with his little
friend about the nocturnal rendezvous.
The.big dog scratched away all the grass
and the stones, dragged up the board,
and let the terrier jump through the
hole. The latter returned in a few min
utes with rabbit in his mouth, which
he presented to his great friend, and
both proceeded to devour their supper
undisturbed.

Docs In Partnership,

A curious story of canine sagacity is
in the Cologne journals. The
owner Of number of rabbits near Bar
nicu FOUND that for six successive nights
one of his rabbits was stolen from the
house which he had made for them out
of wooden case stood few
inches above the ground. At the top of
it an opening which had been made
about the width Of two hands, which
was closed at night by board ON which
heavy stones were laid. The house hav-
ing thus been secured, and as it was
found each morning that only one rabbit
hsd been stolen, and that all the rest
were uninjured, Il was considered impos.
sible for . veazel to have Effected the
theft. 1t was, therefore, supposed that
human hands were at work. The owner
consequently first made the opening
more secure by mailing down one
side Of the board, and covering

The Thirteen Superstjtions

A French republican journal draws at
tention to the fact that the republic has
lately entered on the thirteenth year of
its existence-the number thirteen be-
ing, as every one knows, the most un-
lucky in the whole arithmetical series.
The thirteenth yoar has been, in fact, a
more or less fatal epoch in the career of
every government which the present
century has witnessed in France. 1t was
Just thirteen years after his elevation to
power that Napoleon entered on the dis.
astrous Russian campaign Of 1912, which
caused his downfall. Again, in 1897, ,ex-
actly thirteen yeas from the restoration,
occurred the first reactioary coup a. Gtat
which led later on to the formation Of
the Polignac Ministry and the revolution
of July. The thirteenth year of Louis
Philippe's reign, 1912, was marked by
the tragic death Of the Duke of Orleans,
an event hardly less fatal to the dynasty.
The thirteenth year Of the reign of Ma
poleon III. Witnessed the unfortunate
Mexican expedition, the beginning of
the end" of the second empire"

iqnatieR's flocks.

Count Ignatietf, having SO long shep-
herded Russia's political hocks, has
turned his attention now to the rearing
of veritable tiocks of sheep on the great
southern steppes. In the district Of
Bakhmut, in the proyine of Ekaterinos-
laff, he has an estate OF 50,0O acres,
purchased some years ago by his wife at
a bankrupt auction. 1t had long been
abandoned, and was in a most dilapida-
ted condition. But the Count has re-
stored the mansion and grounds, and put
upon the grassy plains tenantry Of 49,
900 choice merino sheep. He supervises
the estate in person, and enjoys robust
health-a welcome change from his
former semi-invalid condition. He does
not let agriculture dethrone diplomacy
in his mind, however, but keeps up a
lively interest in foreign politics, in
token of which he has given the name of
Bismarck to the biggest and most
belligerent ram in his flock.

BAGGAGE Smashers Foiled.


The appearance of the little Monitor
in Hampton Roads revolutionized naval
architecture, and ever since that day the
gun-makers and the iron-plate- makers
have Wed with each other in their otfen-
siye and defensive. manpfact1res. The
sole leather trunk is becoming, 1t Is said,
as much thing OF the past as the wood

iron trunks cave them 10, smash them,
golige hotes in them and squash their
contents. The trunk makers make for
drummers q trunk with solid frame,
bound with hoop-iron bands, In fact a

trunk, though the smasher cannot shat
ter it, makes very efficacions missile
when hurled upon hat-boxes, light port
manteaus and fimsy trunks. The mills
of the gods have been grinding out retri-

few years he will have nothing but
irun-clad trunks to toss about. When

The awful midnight murder Of the Joyce
family in Connemara, Ireland, a region III
famous for the many deeds Of atrocity there
pnrpetrsted, on the nth of last August, will be
punished i'll a manner scarcely less thrilling
than the crime itself. Three of the leaders Of
the band Of assassIns have had their trial at
Dublin, and have received the sentence of
death, and on the 2lst inst. four accompicos
pleaded guilty and threw themselves upon the
mercy of the crown. The appeals of their
counsel, and the acquiescence therein Of the
attorney were, however, Of no avail.
and they were sentenced TO die ou the scaffold
December Is. In passing sentence Judge
Barry remarked that 1t was not improbable that
some Of the men had been terrorized into par
hclpation in the massacre, and perhaps had
taken no actual manual part III the deed, aud
he should therefore be glad if in their case the
appeal for mercy were needed by those with
whom the decision rested.

Proctor's Calculations.


According to Mr.. Proctor, If from
single pair for 1000 years each husband
aud wife had married at Il years OF age
and there had been no deaths, the pop
ulation would be 2, 1879, ,9l5 followed by
l4l ciphers. 1t would require to hold
thispopulation a number of worlds equal
to 1856, 526 followed by 125 ciphers. A
single globe sufficient to give standing
room to this population, ten to the
square yard, would have diameter in
proportion to that of the earth as seven
followed by forty-three ciphers to one.
Supposing the furthest star visible in
the great Rosse telescope to lie some
thirteen or fourteen millions of miles
further from us than the nearest, which
lies about 10000 times further than
Neptune, the distance from that star, to
travel from which light would require
about Al, ,UO0, O00years, would be but the
100, 900, 600, 000, 600, 900, 600, 00O, 000th
part of the radius of such globe as
would be required to hold the popula-
ton we are considering. A sphere hav-
ing radius equal to 100, 900, 900 of years
of light journey would not suffice to
contain 50 many human beings. At this
rate the universe itself would begin to
get crowded without even the services
of commission of immigration.

homemade Cake.
lFrom the Bsrnesville (Ga.) Gszette.l ]

One of my own sex, who Is a young
housekeeper, by the way of this place,
decided few days ago to try her hand
in some old fashioned cake. The recipe
for making it had been previously given
her by very old lady, and who has long
since passed her threescore and ten, in
these words: One of butter, two of sug-
ar, three OF -four, and four:eggs "-(not
four dozen, Of course) meaning a cup
of butter. two Of sugar. three of -four,
and four eggs. The young lady made
the cake according to the recipe, as she
thought, and used four dozen eggs in
stead of four, and the result was that
the cake rose to great height, but when
done it was quite thin, though golden.

It s an autumn that Of sprng-t1me dreams.
The warm breeze comes and softly stirs
The silent tree-tops, and the empty burs
which, looeened drop into the leaf-clogged streams
Alt dear. this tardy sunshine, and the last!
So shan We end-our summer being past,
And noar frost with us-for little breath
So fair country, such genial air;
And shall forget our woes, and unaware
Step over to the border-land Of death!
