A Queens Ambition Disappointed.

tits now twenty years since the curtaiIp
was rung down on the bloody drama which
the Imperialist party played on Mexican
soil, and what is the impartial verdict OF
the men and women who knew the inside
history of MaXimilian's reign? l have
talked with several of the leading person
ages WHO played part in the sad business,
and they were among those near to the
emperor during his whole stay in Mexico.
They agree on one point, and that is that
Macmillan was inadequate to the situa-
ton; that he was vascillating where Car
lotta was firm; that he was swayed hither
and thither, and accepted the advice OF
the last man who caught his ear, while
CarlOtta used men and events with mas
culine strength and was, behind all, the
guiding and animating spirit.
She, the daughter of the king OF the
Belgians, had the heart of soldier and
the head of a statesman. 1t was her
dream to wear an imperial crown, and it
was the loss of her crown, and not the
death of her husband, that unsettled her
reason. Disappointed ambition, and not
a shock to her affections, made mad
woman of her. Her intimates here say
that there was no love lost between her
imperial husband and herself. Theirs
was marriage of state and dictated by
10 sentiment beyond and above that OF
governmental policy. She was ardent,
ambitious, woman of large projects; he
was better fitted for the elegant life OF q
scholarly prince, and was unsuited to the
tempest of war and the clash of arms

SHIFTING AT PRUsslc ACID.

A Coroner Finds Out How the Quickest
of all Poisons Works.
Deputy Coroner Scholcr, who narrowly
escaped death recently from shifting at the
bottle from which Miss Mary Van Orden
had drunk prussic acid and died, told a
reporter about it,
with me in Miss Van Orden's ROOM"
he said, twas DR.. j. +. Terriberry. We
had been told that Miss Van Orden
was in the habit of taking morphine, and
as l had not yet been told that she had
bought prussic acid, | supposed / was
going to smell of Majendie's solution. l
passed the vial we found back and forth
under my nose three or four times and
got good sniff of the acid. 1t has a
sweet, almond flavor, pungent and not at
all disagreeable. Then passed the bottle
to DR.. Terriberry, and he took sniff. 1
noticed that he was growing pale. Then
1 began to feel faint and weak myself
Or. Terriberry and l clutched each
other and reeled. Either would have
fallen without the support of the other.
held on to him and called for fresh air.
We were led to the door and down two or
three flights of stairs. 1t was with the
greatest difficulty that l drew my breath.
My consciousness was perfect, but I had
no control of my arms or hands or of nv
lower Inns. When / tried to step I raised
my foot two feet from the ground, and
when l tried to feel Of my pulse l could
not use my hands. Noticed that the blood
had left the finger nails and that my
hands were white as chalk. All through
my body it seemed as though the blood
were driving toward ray heart. How
got to the drug store at Ninth avenue and
EOrty-eighth street | don'G know. A
young man there said sulphate of mag
nesia was an antidote for prussic acid, but
it isn't. I took the Dose however, and
then was led to the Forty seventh street
police station. Capt. Killilea prescribed
brandy, and as he believes in large doses,
he gave me so much that I was drunk
after taking it. l told Capt. Killilea of my
difficulty in breathing, and told him how
to move my arms up and down. He
lifted a window in the police station and
worked my arms like pump for long
time, causing an artificial movement of
the ribs.
''Then I was taken to the Roosevelt
hospital, and physician gave me dose
Of carbonate Of ammonia. In tW hours
I felt better and came home I have
been very weak since. 1t seems as
though had no marrow il my bones. I
have been requested to write statement
of the experience for medical journal,
and I think l shall do SO. DR. Terri
berry told me today that he has
been very sick. He was tormented
by the most frightful Nightmares when he
tried to sleep. I didn't have night

Growing Tall by Exercise.

Exercise is generally taken without any
direct reference to the increase Of height
Thus it often happens that the gymnastic
feats chiefly INDUCED in tend rather to
check than to increase the rate of growth.
This applies particularly to the lifting OF
heavy weights, the use of large dumb
bells, involving comparatively slow move
ments, and all exercises which tend to in
crease the supporting power of the spine
and the leg bones, even though they may
be exercises primarily directed to increase
the muscular power of the arms. Pull
ing exercises, though they tend to increase
the development of the arms in length as
well as in girth (round the forearm
chiefly, do not on the whole favor the
development of length of limb. Sailors,
who from boyhood upward are much
employed in pulling and hauling, are on
the average short men, though often the
development of strength and weight re-
sulting from their active open air lives is
remarkable. We see oftener among them
than in other classes brawny chests,
shoulders and upper arms in company
with lower limbs which by comparison
appear almost stunted On the other
hand, men engaged in hunting, or in oc-
equations requiring much walking, run
ming, leaping and the like, acquire well
developed lower limbs, and are on the
average taller than other classes.

Wanted an Easy Chair,

A Nashville furniture dealer tells lit
tie story that shows how some people are
constituted. A lady ordered an elegant
easy chair of peculiar kind. It was
made and sent to her house. She exam
ined it carefully and critically, finally re-
marking that it suited her exactly, with
one exception--it was too soft. She had
the man take the chair back to be made
trifie harder. The chair was returned
to the store and put aside. Nothing was
done to 1t. After TIE lapse of about
week the chair was sent out again. The
woman again examined it, and this time
the chair was too hard. She was sorry,
but when she paid so much to get an
article for her own comfort she wanted
it about right, so she sent it back to the
store for another change The chair was
again put aside for week or ten days
and sent out for the third time without
having particle Of change made. This
time it was just right. She took the
chair, paid for it, and was sorry it had
not suited her at first. The poor woman
never knew that the chair had not been
changed particle.-Chicago News.

Frenchmen Not Oh Their Muscle.

The Frenchman cares little to contest in
anything where mere muscular ability is
at an advan+ re, says Partisan visitor.
He pursues sport as he does art-striving
to develop its fine points, aiming to be-
come expert and admiring only the skill
that may be attained in the exercise. We
have no such thing as a national game,
nothing that approaches to yoursbaseball,
or polo, or the English cricket. Sport
with US means, as rule, horse racing,
and undoubtedly our jockeys, of whom
we think highly, would compare favor
ably with the best that this country
knows. The exercise that really occupies
our attention as a national institution is
fencing, and that probably arises from the
military character Of the national life.
Much Of the energy that the American
youth puts into play and physical contests
is absorbed by the government in recruit
ing the army. Here the boys of the vii
lage have to provide their own amuse-
ments, their own exercises, and have to
depend upon themselves for acquiring the
discipline that is so essential to really sue
cessful sport. With Us the government
provides the exercise and the discipline,
and if the young man can get any amuse-
out of it SO much the better for them. It
is the next war that is always uppermost
in every Frenchman's mind.-New York

went down to Epernay, which Is but
two and half hours from Paris, on a
gray October day., that would have been
called cold in California. There it was
all that could be asked. 1t was dry, and
there was q suggestion of sunlight. Eper-
nay is a city of H. 900 inhabitants, show
ing a queer mixture of the old and new.
The wine makers having dealt freely with
foreigners for more than 100 years, are
cosmopolitan. They live in residences
built in a mixture of styles, most of them
elegant, some Of them palaces. Many
combine business house and dwelling, and
occasionally there is group OF buildings,
in one of which the proprietor lives, and
in the others makes, stores and sells his
wines. The chateau style, in red and
white brick, is common, poorly harmonic
ing with the rest of the town, which Is
queer, colorless and irregular. There is
united with this wealth an idea of COM
fort not everywhere prevalent in France.
Houses and offices are well warmed, which
is q luxury to Americans abroad in win
ter. and there is in the furniture and Or
naments, of offices especially, many things
that make him think of home.
All towns in France would be hand
somer if they presented to the sight of the
stranger a less extent of blank and for
midable wall. Every building or group
of buildings, except where they form q
continuous line along the streets, is shut
in with brick OF stone, like fortress. 1t
is the ever present idea that you live in a
country where you know not what may
happen next, and if you have anything
worth defending or protecting you must
keep it in defendable condition-must,
in fact, make your house castle. The
idea has been inculcated by so many les
sons that it has become hereditary. Eper-
nay has times without number been bap-
tized with blood and fire and its vine yards

Secrets of the Dressmaker.

81 assure you no one learns dressmak-
ing for fun. Sometimes ladies learn it in
order to understand better the fitting Of
their own gowns, but one usually learns
because she expects to make living by
the trade.''
The speaker was fashionable uptown
modiste, and she was telling a reporter
some of the secrets of her profession.
About the room were seated a number of
quiet, neat looking girls, all sewing.
"Are there any schools where dress
making is taught" was asked.
II never heard of any. When a girl
desires to learn the business, she usually
goes as an apprentice, as at any other
trade"
'How long does it take to learn the
trade?'
''That greatly depends upon the stu
dent. Usually girl should master the
trade in one season. A good dressmaker
should have a quick eye for form and
color. She should be something of an
artist in addition to having mere mechan-
ical skill. Most women know something
about sewing, and have little difficulty,
but when it comes to fitting, trimming
and finishing dresses, where real taste

almost helpless"
"What can dressmaker earn after she
has learned the trade2''
''It all depends upon her skill and
ability. If she is smart she can get So 80
a day, but she may not get more than
$3.50. That is after she has taken les
sons for one season. Forewomen who su-
perintend the work earn about $25 a
week. They are women of long expe-
rience in the trade. So far as dressmak-
ing at home is concerned, the paper pat
terms have simplified matters great deal.
Male dressmakers earn from So to SO q
week more than women at the same bust
ness. Men are better than women at
making waists, which are in some par
ticulars like the coat you wear, but 1

Just the Same as Mil,ionaires,

A fashionable craze among men of
small means is to have bank account
and to make all payments by check. The
savings banks ordinarily do not permit
deposits to be drawn out by checks, and
when money is taken from the institution
the pass book has to be presented to the
cashier, and most of the national banks of
this city require $500 to be placed in their
hands before they will open current ac-
count A few of the larger institutions
require deposit of from s. 900 to S., 900.
The banks stipulate that the deposit shall
never be less than the sum they require to
open the account but this rule is not en-
forced in all banking institutions. The
deposit of $500 is in some of the small
institutions not enforced, and very often
if the accounts could be seen the balance
TO the credit of the depositor is only few
dollars.
Payments by cheek are the safest way
of settling any account, said cashier
Of bank to a reporter. IF you give q
man check he must indorse it before he
can get the money, so that you always
have his receipt. Then the money is paid
by the bank to some responsible person,
SO that the payment can always be proved
by tracing how the money was paid.
Should check be lost payment can
always be stopped New York Mail and
