For many years the Bibliotheque Ma
tionale of Paris has bowailed the loss of
two dozen very fine ancient canoes bor-
rowed by Napoleon l and never returned.
The emperor had them mounted In q
tiara, and when Louis XVIII came to
tho throne they were found among the
crown jewels, and were sent along with
them to England for safety when Napo-
Icon escaped from Elba- Since then they
have been hopelessly lost. The curator
had failed to preserve n detailed descrip-
ton of the gems, NJ. German Bapst,
however, has been able to provide the
substance of the missing document, and
has published It in his "Histoire des
Joyaux de Ia C~ouronne." Should the
canoes ever como into the market, they
may be recognized and bought back by
the authorities. 1t is generally supposed
that they are retained by the heirs of the
Comte de Chambord-Jeweler's Weekly.

Tho housewife of the middle ages
cooked over an open fire on a stone
hearth In the middle of the room, n hole
in the roof letting the smoke escape.
Over this fire the people shivered in cold
weather; but at n later time some of the
queens had braziers or small iron fur
naces In their rooms. There were no
carpets In those days, and rushes and
sweet herbs were spread IN the floor in
stead, especially when company was cx-
pected- There were tapestries on the
walls of the finer houses. AT dinner
people sat or wooden benches and stools
at q heavy table of boards set on t~restles,
and this was covered with cloth. The
bill OF faro changed with the centuries
In those days, and not much from day to
day; the food was barley and oaten
bread, bacon, fish, capons, eggs and an
abundance of home brewed ale, and the
mobiles sometimes had wine from the
east.-Good Housekeeping.

The Vanity Of Men.

"a man cares more about his shape
than n woman" said n corset maker,
ar will resort to more stringent md
uncomfortable measures TO improve his
figure. A stout woman win walk a mile
for two or three days and stop eating
candy for n whole week to reduce her
flesh, but a man will submit to the most
wearisome processes for the same pur-
pose and keep up his effort for as many
months n his trainer recommends.
Place n glass at the left of any public
stairway, and four men to ono woman
will turn to look in 1t, and from these
premises may DO drawn the double con-
clusion that men are more vain than wo-
men, and that were the stigma of femi-
ninity removed from corset wearing and
the custom adopted by fashion leaders
men would fall In line very readily.
There Is no moro reason why they
shouldn't suffer In them than that wo-
men should be laced into them, simply
because they look more trim and shape
ly. In 1888 and 1910 corsets were worn
by men, and the fashion might be re-
vived If n few leaders as courageous as
the apostles of dress suit reform would
introduce the practice New York Sun.

The province of the author is to entertain,
thize with and to strengthen humanity. To
accomplish this with so vast IN audience as
the world offers, a variety Of methods must
be employed The realist and the idealist
can work sid by side In harmony. Nursery
tales, however excellent, do not cover tho
needs of all the reading world The deeper
experiences Of mature life have a place In
literature when those experiences serve to
elevate and honor, kindness and unselfshness
in the readers mind-as life, the great real
ist, ~elevates them in the eyes of every dis
corning being.
Sin and its methods have a plnce also In
literature
once heard a woman say she was saved
from a moral peril by accidentally reading a
novel In which occurred q realistic descrip-
ton of a temptation like her own and its con-
sequent evils. But base and Immoral actions
should DO suggested, never dwelt upon or
dignifed by detail
There is a proper place In literature for the
delineation of a great and loyal though mis-
portrayal of lcentiouSness.
Alesson can be conveyed In describing tho
steps by which the youth was led to the as
signation, but not In relating the interview
itself.
A murder described in detail incites moro
murders of a like kind The horrible and
disgusting should DO passed over as quickly as
possible, the beautiful and noble fingered
upon In literature as in llfe.-Ella Wheeler
Wilcox In New York Herald

A Soldiers Life Saved by n Dream.

N q Liz hNc ny N DEthHh-
A man Of the name of Joe Williams
had told q dream to his fellow soldiers,
some of whom related 1t to me months
previous to the occurrence which / re-
late. He dreamed that he crossed a
river, marched over q mountain and
camped lear a church located IN a wood,
near which a terrible battle ensued, and
in a charge Just as he crossed a ravine
he was shot In the heart. On the ever
memorable 18th of December, 1861 battle
Of Prairie Grove, northern Arkansasl, as
we moved a double quick to take our
place in the line of battle, then already
hotly engaged, we passed a church, a
small frame building. / was riding in
the fink of the command, opposite to
Williams, as We came in view of the
house. THAT Is the church / saw in my
dream" said he. / made no reply, and
never thought of the matter until wen
ing.
We had broken the enemy's lines and
were in full pursuit, when we came to n
dry ravine In the wood, and Williams
said: Just on the other side Of this ra-
vine l was shot in my dream, and I'll
stick my hat under my shirt" Suiting
the action to the word he doubled up his
hat as he ran along and crammed it into
his bosom. Scarcely had he adjusted it
when n mimic ball knocked him out of
line; jumping up quickly he pulled out
his hat, waved 1t over his head shouting:
"rm all right" The ball raised a black
spot about the size Of n mans hand just
over the heart and dropped into his shoe.

Some Mexican superstitions.

1t Is believed that the murderer who has
slain his victim with sword or dagger will
escape II the body falls upon its side or back;
but II the body falls face downward, then the
murderer surely soon will be captured and
put to death. This belief Is said to be 80
firmly rooted among the people of northeast
ern Mexico that when a murdered man falls
upon his face his slayer makes no effort to
escape, and even sometimes voluntarily sur
renders himself to Justice. II q bride, while
dressing for her wedding, is pricked by q pin
so that blood flows, great misfortune i'm
ponds II two people think of the same thing
at the same time, a soul is loosed from pur-
gatory.-Scribneris Magazine.

A very pretty story is related of the
crown princess of Denmark. Prince
Waldemar and Princess Marie are good
skaters, and ono afternoon when, aftera
long run across the ice, they sat down to
rest, they noticed n little boy who was
valnly trying to put his skates on. On
seeing tho royal couple he took off his
hat and said: "Oh, dear Princess Marie,
can you not help me to put my skates
onr' The royal lady smiled, knelt down
or the ice and firmly fastened the straps
round the boys ankles. Boston Tran

A mother on Delaware avenue was on
Sunday giving her child, n boy of z
years, some Bible instruction. She was
telling him the story of Adams fall.
Having narrated the tale of the apple
and what mischief it did, the mother
asked: Now, don't you think Adam did
very wrong to eat the appleY' Tho little
fellow thought a momont and then an
swered: "Why, would it have been polite
to refuse the apple when the lady offered
1t to him?'-Buffalo Courier,
