A Startling Coincidence.

In the year 1864, on the 9th day of
December, the English ship Menai was
crossing the straits and capsized in a
gale. OF the 81 passenger on board
but one was saved; his name was Hugh
Williams. On the same day, in the
year 1885, a pleasure boat was wrecked
on the Isle of Man. There were 60
persons on the boat among them one
Hugh Williams and his family. OF the
three-score none but old Hugh Will
Jams survived the shock. On the 9TH
day of August, 1920, picnicking party
on the Thames was run down by coal
barge. There were % of the picnick-
ers. most children under twelve years
of age. Little Hugh Williams, Wis
itor from Liverpool, only five years
old, was the only one that returned to
tell the tale. Now comes the most sim
gular part of this singular story: On
the 10Th day Of August, in the year of
our Lord 1889, a Leeds coal barge
with nine men, foundered; two of them,
both Hugh Williams. an uncle and
nephew, were rescued by some fisher
men, and were the only men of the
crew who lived to tell of the calamity.
These are facts which can be substan-
tiated, says the Leeds (England) Mer-
curry.

The condition and tendencies OF gen.

satisfactory, as judged by the usual tests
of a canvas of the leading markets, the
bank exchanges and gains in railroad
traffic. There is no lack of seasonable
orders from the country, though collec-

to the recent meager harvests and the
slow movement of cereals for export.

The Health of Young Wives.

So much depends upon woman's
health that l wonder young wives do
not consider it more. Let you physical
well-being be a chief consideration.
Let nothing deter you from taking
your daily walk. Have plenty of sun
shine admitted into your house Spend
as much time as possible in the open
air. While generally speaking, early
rising is healthful, yet if you feel that
you can not get up at the regular hour,
do not do so. Nature never mistakes.
and if she demands another hour of
slumber, you will be the gamer by
yielding. Have your meals at proper
times. If your husband is detained at
his shop beyond the regular dinner
hour, let no sentimental consideration
induce you to wait for him beyond
fifteen minutes. By adhering to this,
you will develop in him a remarkable
punctuality. Do not let trihes ruffie
your serenity. l am satisfied that
cheerfulness does more to promote
health than all other efforts. Louis

RESPECT OLD AGE,
1t Is as Much Entitled to Respectful Chn
sideratiOn as Royalty.

sideratiOn Royalty
Children should be early taught to
respect old age, taught too, that old
age is as much entitled to respectful
consideration as royalty.
Veneration is not a distinguishing
trait of the average American youth;
very early they begin to refer to their
parents as 1.-THE old man and the old
woman"
1t seems to me that an old person is
entitled to respectful admiration. be-
cause of the vast amount of experience
they have had, for one reason at least;
for what can one who has not lived, say
twenty years in the world, know about
it compared with one who has lived
fifty. sixty, or eighty years?
Old people are often feeble physical
ly and need all the help and tender,
loving care that the younger and
stronger ones can give. Children too
often forget all that their parents have
done and suffered for them, all their
watchful care, and some never realize
how dear their parents are to them I'M
til they are taken from them forever.
We have heard women say that they
never fully appreciated their mothers
until they were keeping house for
themselves, and little children were
claiming their care What is a more
pitiful sight than to see an aged couple
with children who are unloving and
rnthankful, and who even begrudge
their parents a home, but they will
surely receive their reward Sometime.
Of course, much of the disrespect
shown by the young to the aged is due
chiefly to thoughtlessness and not hard
hearts; so we must help our children
by example as well as precept to
venerate old age; teach them that old
age is honorable and entitled to all the
loving care and consideration that we
can bestow upon it.-United Presby-
terian.

NINE. DE cAsTIoLIoNE.
A Fayorite of Napoleon Who was ra
nous Throughout Europe.

A Favorite of Napoleon Who WAS
nous Throughout Europe.
The rumor which was current on-the
boulevards of Paris few days ago that
Nine. de Castiglione, the notorious
favorite of Napoleon Ill, was dead,
revives a number of recollections oil
the once famous beauty.
In the year 1859 there appeared in
Paris Count and Countess de Cas-
tiglione They were Italians of good
family, who bore with them letters of
introduction to the best houses in i'm
perial society. They appeared TO have
plenty of money at their disposal, took
a handsome hotel on what was then
called rAvenue de Imperatice. now
known as rAvenue du Bots de Bou-
lOgne. and entertained in an unosten-
tatious manner. Nine. de Castiglione's
beauty soon became the talk of the
town.
Never had Paris seen such perfec-
ton in womankind. 1t was impossible
for painter or sculptor to lind fault
with her features or the lines OF her
figure.
She was a brunette, with a-rlch,
clear southern complexion. Her eyes,
of deep violet, were shaded with long
black lashes, which boulevardiers de-
clared took her half an hour every
morning to unknot. Her hair was
blue black. Her nose was of the bold
Roman type, which is so rapidly dis
appearing in fair Italy. When she
opened her luscious red lips she dis
closed two dazzling rows of faultless
teeth.
But beautiful as Nine. de Castig-
lione's face was, many thought her
figure even more perfect. Her arm
was a dream, and model of her foot
is still preserved as "a thing of beau'y
and joy forever" among people who
live and reveled in Napoleon Ills
brilliant court.
The Italian beauty soon succeeded in
gaining the Emperor's favor, and the
Carbonari of Italy, whose enmity he
had gained through his wrestling from
Italy the fair province of Savoy,
thought it would be an easy thing for
her to inveigle him to some place
where his death could be brought
about.
While the plot was being matured,
La Castiglione' appeared at fancy
ball given in honor of some foreign
royalty, and her costume shocked the
Empress Eugene to such an extent
that she refused to recognize her and
had her removed from the room.
A stormy meeting between the En-
peror and the beautiful Italian fol-
lowed; she raved madly and threatened
his death if the insult offered her was
not atoned for. She was finally paci-
fed, the Emperor promising that the
next night. at the opera, he would
bow to her so that all Paris would
know that she still held his favor.
The plan was carried out and the E m
press Immediately left the house and
shortly afterwards left France and paid
a long visit to Scotland. 1t is said
Queen VictOria's pleadings alone pre-
vented her suing for a divorce.
Meanwhile, the Carbonari had de-
cided that Napoleon's time had come.

A one-legged colored man whom the
Seattle police were after the other dqv
took refuge in cellar, barred the door
and defied the whole force. The fire de-
partment was called out and the cellar
pumped full of water. When it came up
to the negro's chin he came out and sur
rendered. Since then he has been sent
to the Tacoma jail, from which he has
escaped three times.
1t is now semi-officially stated in San
Francisco that not a single officer or
man on any whaler that has arrived
from the Arctic so far this year has
cent coming to him. When an officer
or nan ships on whaler he signs for
share of the lay or catch and gets an ad-
vance from the owner of the ship. The
whaling catch is shockingly poor.

a PLEA FOR BOYS.
DIR. TaInaSe Is In Favor of Letting Them

Have Good Time.
am sorry to say that boys are not
generally understood. Between six
and fourteen years of age the mascu-
line nature is a mixture of mischief,
and sensitiveness, and spunk, and fun.
and trouble, and pugnacity, which the
chemistry of the world fails to ana
lyze. A little girl is defnable. She
laughs when she is pleased, cries WI en-
she feels badly, pouts when she is
cross and eats when she is hungry.
Not so with boy. He would rather
go nutting than to eat, forgets at the
fsh-pond he has not had bis dinner,
often laughs when he feels badly and
looks submissive to an imposition
practiced upon till he gets the perpe-
traitor alone in the middle of the road,
and tumbles him into the dirt, till eyes
and mouth and nose are so full that
the fellow imagines that before his
time he has returned to dust. A boy
