The house where Napoleon was born, at
Ajaccio, was duly honored by President
Carnot on his visit to Corsica. 1t is stu
ated in what would be called now an old
lane. The Bonaparte family were only
tenants of one of the two wings, and that
wing has been specially whitewashed A
small garden serves as entrance to the
dwelling, and sprigs of ivy, brought from
Chiselhurst, commence to creep around
the walls. The rooms are tiled, cold and
poor; that wherein Napoleon was born,
with its chair bed is still unchanged. 1t
contains the busts of the great Bonaparte
and the prince imperial-the first and the
last of the Napoleons. In the special Wis
itors' register kept for rulers and princes,
NJ. Carnot's signature follows that of the
ex-Empress Eugene. The cloth covering
an old piano has been morseled away by
visitors for relics Many of the Corsican
mayors came forty miles to welcome NJ

That CAUCUS Business.

The GAINESVILLE Democrat says:
On Saturday morning before the
meeting of the convention there was
caucus of Democrats at the
Union Warehouse. This was not
by any means caucus of Wheelers
as has been stated but simply an in
formal assemblage of delegates to
determine upon some plan OF action
in the convention.
This is very gratifying informa-
ton; we are glad indeed to have the
Wheeler brethren excused from any
completely in such cussedness as
was concocted in that caucus. But
why do number of Democrats call a
secret caucus at the Union Ware
house, if the purpose was not to palm
it off on the brethren as Wheeler
caucus and hold them under their
oath.bOund obligations to. the organi-
cation to support the program of the
machine fixers? What need or use
was there for such caucus anyway,
except for the purpose of producing
"serious discord," which the Demo-
crat admits? We have heard much
talk of stocking conventions, form
ing political rings, setting traps for
the unsuspecting, etc, but for pure,
unadulterated, disguised trickery,
perpetrated in the name of the peo-
pie and for the benefit of the Wheel,
we refer to that caucus business at
our County Convention. Any man
can see it all plainly by reading the
three articles in the Democrat, as
written by Judge Tyler him
self, all done up in frills, gauz-
ed over with harmony, perfumed
with the double distilled essence Of
the people. and marked with the
urgent necessity of an executive
committee to take immediate charge
of the canvass and save the country,
when there is no canvass, no candi-
dates In the field and the committee
would have nothing to do until the
legislative convention meets and
makes the nominations. 1t occurs to
a thoughtful Democrat that the eX-
ecutive committee should not be
elected until the candidates are nOmi-
mated, then men may be chosen who
will be in harmony with the nomi-
nees, and will take a lively interest
in promoting their election. Suppose
these same gentlemen, who were
working the caucus business to put
themselves on the executive COM
mittee had been in control two years
ago, can any body doubt that they
would have called second convention
or taken steps to force Goodpasture
and Corban to swear allegiance to
their sentiments, or set them aside
by placing in nomination another
ticket, which they did anyhow?
But it didn't work.

The Proper study of the Scriptures.

The Proper Study of the Scriptures.
The Bible ''as she is taught" in Sunday
schools and pulpits is not suitable for in
PRODUCTION to public schools nor for the
academic curriculum. The Bible us it will
be taught from university chairs by teach
ers like Professor w. r. Harper, of New
Haven, will be discovered to be a science
neither for nor against any particular re-
ligious faith, but, like all other sciences,
running parallel to religious teaching
That there is abundant room for instruc.
ton in biblical science over and above the
doctrinal and catechetic teaching of re-
ligious instructors in all our educational
institutions should be sufficiently manifest
1t is as a science, the logical and orderly
classification data, that biblical literature
and history will and should be taught in
the universities. As such it simply stands
on par with other sciences In its meth
cd, it is neither more nor less religious than
they. 1t is its subject matter which is,
more than that of any other science, indis-
pensable to the maturing of an ideal man
hood. This subject matter may be defined
as the development of the religious con-
seriousness of the Hebrews as effected In
their history and exhibited In their litera,
ture, New Testament literature being, OF
course, included. This development we
may fairly call divine revelation.
To have some rational and scientific con-
ception Of the process and history from
which the religious and spiritual conscious
ness of Christendom has issued would
seem to be essential to the training Of every
man of culture, while the study itself is no
less fitted to stimulate the spiritual and
moral faculties, than the study Of the his
tory of philosophy to stimulate the rehec-
tive and critical faculties. Wejudge, there
fore, that 1t must soon become as much a
recognized pat of the ordinary university
curriculum as the study of classical history
and literature, and with results to spirit
ual and moral growth in the student which
win be all the more profoundly beneficial
that they are incidental. Rev. Benjamin

convention concluded its work Sat
urday, after several days heated con-
test, by the nomination of Thomas
G. Jones, of Montgomery, for COVER
nor on the 34th ballot. This was the
result of combination of all the
opposing forces against the Alliance
candidate, Kolb, the friends of Rich
ardson, johnson and Crook all going
solidly for Jones. The vote stood
276 for Jones and 24S for Kolb. The
Alliance delegation very promptly
moved to make the nomination
unanimous and the widest enthusi-
asm followed. Mr.. Jones is said to
be a man of splendid ability, a clean
record, devoted to the development
of the State and in full sympathy
with the farmers organization.

Difference in Ancient and Modern Feet
PROFESSIONALLY the human foot, as repre-
scented by old sculptors, was larger than
the modern one, and, in fact, the primitive
foot of all people of whom we have any rec
ord. either in printing or statuary, was
considerably larger than the restricted foot
of modern times. The masculine foot,
forming an approximate average of four
different countries, was about IL inches
long This would require at least No. IL
or 1871 shoe to cover it comfortably.
The average masculine foot today Is
easily fitted with a No. 81 shoe and is,
therefore, not above l07 ZIG of an inch
Now, by the old sculptural rule of proper
ton, a man five feet nine inches in height
should have foot II y inches long, or one
sixth his height. 1t was of no great con
sequence what size sandal he wore, but he
would have required a modern shoe of at
least a 1913 for minimum fit or No. II
for real comfort.
For women, allowing for the difference
in the relative size of the two sexes, which
was about the same then as now,
woman of 5 feet 3 inches in height would
have had foot ten inches long, requiring
n moderate shoe-it ought to be spoken
only in whisper-No as the most com
Portable for that foot, or a No 81 as the
limit of torture. The reason for the diff
ference between the old classical foot and
the modern one is obvious. Restriction is
what has done it.-Shoe and Leather Re

A Cardinal Bird Who Waits on q RobIh,
In certain family in Buffalo there is q
Gagged robin which has been the household
pet for ten years. The robin is now aged.
He has lost all his teeth and one eye, and
his plumage wouldn't be looked at twice
by milliner. His legs are weak and so
are his toes, and he can no longer cling to
his perch and MARBLE hilariously So he
sits on the floor of his cage, and, like the
dove in the song, mourns and mourns and
mourns. At any rate he did until a cardi-
nal bird was put in a cage with him.
The cardinal bird is in the heyday OF
youth, and from the first he cast a plying
eye on his aged companion. sitter observ-
ing him awhile it occurred to him that he
might fill up some of his spare time wait
ing on him. So he now takes the bread and
things that are put in the cage and moist
ems them and rolls them into wads or pei

One Of the most largely accepted is
that after the proposition has been de-
bated for three or four days it shall be-
in order for any senator to move that
the date thereon be limited under the
rule. That the motion shall be put
without debate, and If adopted debate
shall cease at the end of six days there
after. 1t is understood that almost
everyone present was in favor of the
adoption of this method of limiting de-
bate.
Chairman Platt says tho rule has
been recommitted. Another senator
says it is practically adopted.
Its recommittal is due to DISPOSE
ton on the part OF the majority to
postpone putting it into operation until
a necessity arose for its use. The in
tention of the republican senators, he
said, is to consider the election bill as
settled and If necessary the new rule
will be applied to the tariff bill in Or
der to reach it.
