1t takes even grown people, supposed

going to bed the engine of the brain
should begin to ''slow down" and the
''coppers' to cool little. The arteries

EMPEROR AND M,sER.

How IN Avarloious Follow Was Made to
Disgorgs . Handsome Sum.
One thing the Emperor Nicholas held
in particular aversion, and that was
avarice as a trait Of wealthy people. de
was once travelling with . rich gentle
man whom he had often bantered upon
his meanness in money matters. In
course Of the journey the carriage broke
down and had to be loft behind for re-.
pairs. The travellers went forward on
foot, and presently came to = spot
where the road was flooded to con-
siderable depth.
The Emperor called q road laborer
and asked If he would carry him through
the water.
''Why not?" said the laborer, and
arms and conveyed him safely across.
The Emperor gave him two gold
pieces and whispered: ':Now 60 and
fetch the other gentleman, but when
you have got halfway through the
water, stand still and ask him how
much he intends to give YOU"
The man did as was told. and In the
middle Of the water demanded how
much he was to get for his labor.
''You rascal" cried the miser, ''the
other gentleman paid for US both. I
saw him, you impudent swindler! You
shall not have another farthing."
''What does he offer?' called the EN-
peror.
'Says you paid for him, and he won't
give farthing," replied the laborer.
''Then drop him into the water" said
Nicholas.
The man made . movement to obey,
but bis intended victim hold on tightly,
and exclaimed: II will give you three
rubles!"
ASK three hundred, interposed the
Emperor, laughing, "he's we'll able to
pay it."
The terrified rider chung still more
closely to his bearer, while he protested
against such extortton. The Emperor
BY gestures encouraged the man to re-

The beauty of American girls is =
much-discussed question. tits said they
have no distinct points, but it seems to
me that any one who has travelled must
easily have settled upon he salient
points which go to make up the beauty
of an American girl. A general deli
cacy of outline as we'll rs coloring is de-
manded. A woman with very large
eyes and no other charms is never rated
as beauty here. When = woman is
said to be beautiful in America it means
that she has face nodded in delicate
lines, features that are thoroughly har-
monious, figure which Is neither pro-
nouncedly athletic nor too plump, and
