A Historic Wooden Leg.

A celebrated wooden leg has been
discovered in an old Vincennes shop,
which was once a smithy. There is
abundant evidence to prove that the
relic in question is the sham limb
which replaced the leg which Gen.
Daumesnil lost in the big wars of Ma
poleon I. This rugged old warrior de-
Tended the fortress of Vincennes
against the allied army, and is famous
for having said to the invaders, when
summoned to give up the place:
Bring me back my leg which you
have shot off and you shall have my
keys" The wooden leg now found
had been sent by Daumesnil to Vim
cennes smith in order to be ''shod," as
the general expressed it. Before the ar
ticle was sent back the old warrior
died suddenly, and the sham limb re-
manned in the ancient smithy to the
present day. 1t is now in the artillery
museum of the Hotel des Invalides
among many other martial and his
tOric souvenirs -London telegraph.

Minors and Jury DutY.

One day this week 1 made the as
founding discovery that in order to be
eligible to jury duty it is not necessary
that the party summoned on a panel
should be 81 years of age. The name
of my son, who is not 90 years of age,
was given in a list of young men, in
the house where he is employed, sup
posed to be eligible for jury duty.
When | went to see Judge Withrow
on the boys behalf, 1 stated the fact
of his minority, but the judge said
that made no difference; that if he
was but 8 years of age and possessed of
the requisite intelligence he would be
obliged to serve, and that failure to
appear would lay him liable to attach
mentand fine. This was news to me.

If there is anything in the popular
superstition among sailors that "a cat

British steamship Thalia will be a
pleasant one. A fine large Maltese cat
went aboard the vessel the day before
she sailed and composedly curled up
on the heavily upholstered crimson
sofa In the officers saloon, and when
the vessel sailed she was a contented
passenger.

steward, as he stroked her soft fur,

Some Advice Regarding the Best Way 70
Treat Your Wives.

Treat Your wives.
One of the most despicable practices
that married man can be guilty of is
kind of coarse testing at the bondage
of the married state, and laugh at
/ the shackles which the wife imposes.
On the contrary, be it your pride to
exhibit to the world that sight on
which the wise man passes such an
encomium: Beautiful before God and
| men are man and wife that perfectly
agree. Make it an established rule to
consult your wife on all occasions
your interest is hers-and undertake
no plan contrary to her advice and op-
position. Independent of better mo-
tives, what responsibility does it free
you 'FRONT.' For if the affair turns out
i'll, you are spared reproaches both
from her and your own feelings.
But the fact is, she who ought to
have most influence on her husbands
mind is often the person who has the
least, as a man will frequently take the
advice of stranger, who cares not for
him nor his interest, in preference to
The cordial and sensible opinion of

domestic evils such line of conduct is

would think, of itself be sufficient to

these, policy should influence you, for

The Wood of Cigar Boxes,

The Havana cigars boxes are usually
made of the wood of species of the
juniper tree, which is generally
known to commercials as Barbados
CEDAR" 1t is well to remember, how
ever, that juniper is quite a different
kind of wood from true cedar. This
cigar box wood is largely employed in
this country for making the inner por-
tons of drawers and wardrobes. In the
West Indies it is often fashioned into
canoes, being well adapted to this pur-
pose from its lightness, softness and
durability. Pencil wood is another
variety of juniper. The faint agree
able smell evolved from tine wood of
pencil and cigar boxes is due to the
gradual escape from it's interstices of
a peculiar kind of balsamic oil, which
is nowadays largely used by per-
fumery manufacturers. 1t has been
found that 100 pounds of the wood Of
cigar box juniper contains about fit
teen ounces of this essential odorifer
Gus oil. If chips of the wood be al
lowed to remain in a closed glass jar
for year, the interior of the vessel at
the end of that period will be found to
be coated with heavy dew of per
fume. -Exchange.

Queer Noises in the Hotel.

Among the many queer experien-
ces gained in a hotel, said the clerk
of an uptown hostelry to Washing
ton Post reporter, "are those connected
with guests who are subject to night
mare, which is more common than
many people suppose. It is not un-
common for night to develop several
cases of this kind. In the stiffness of
the early morning hours heavy groans
or shzieks may be heard sounding
along the corridor. The hall boy
wakes up, rubs his eyes and awaits to
see what is coming, and if he is new
one at the business half expects that a
murder is being committed.
1--WE had a case not long ago of a
gentleman here, who, during the mid
die of the night, began pounding on
his door, yelling at the same time,
Let me out, let me out. Helpl Help!'
The hall boy rushed down to the
desk, and, with the night clerk and
the porter. hurried back to the room
whence came the cries of distress. All
was quiet. They waited awhile, then
knocked. The subject of the night
mare came to the door feeling very
much crestfallen He explained that
he had eaten a too liberal supply of
deviled crabs during the previous even
ing, and he had dreamed that he was
locked in one of the immense money
vaults of the treasury, which he had
seen during his visit to the city. His
own cries for help had caused him to
wake. Such cases, more or less ex-
citing, are of almost nightly occurrence
in a large hotel, and are usually great
er when the social season is at it's
height.
