For many years the Bibliotheque Ma
tionale of Paris has bewailed the loss of
two dozen very fine ancient canoes Dor
rowed by Napoleon and never returned.
The emperor had them mounted in a
tiara, and when Louis XVIII came to
the throne they were found among the
crown jewels, and were sent along with
them to England for safety when Napo-
leon escaped from Elba. Since then they
have been hopelessly lost. The curator
had failed to preserve 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 la Couronne." Should the
canoes ever come 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. Weekly.

A soldier. Life saved b. = pream.

A man OF the name of Joe Williams
had told dream to his fellow soldiers,
some of whom related it to me months
previous to the occurrence which re-
late. He dreamed that he crossed a
river, marched over a mountain and
camped near a church located in wood,
near which a terrible battle ensued, and
in charge just as he crossed ravine
he was shot in the heart. On the ever
memorable 18th of December, 1861 Qoattle
OF Prairie Grove, northern Arkansas, as
we moved double quick to take our
place in the line of battle, then aL1.ady
holly engaged, we passed a church, a
small frame building. was riding, in
the flank of the command, opposite to
Williams, as we came in view of the
house. THAT is the church | saw in my
dream" said he l made no reply, and
never thought of the matter until even
ing
We had broken the enemys lines and
were in full pursuit, when we came to a
dry ravine in the wood, and Williams
said: Just on the other side of this ra-
vine 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 ii
when mimic ball knocked him out OF
line; jumping up quickly he pulled out
his hat, waved it over his head shouting
I'm all right" The ball raised black
spot about the size of mans hand just
over the heart and dropped into his shoe

The Prescription.

There was, some time ago, doctor
whose morning levees were crowded be-
yond description 1t was his pride and
boast that he could feel his patients
pulse, look at his tongue, probe at him
with his stethoscope, write his prescrip-
ton, pocket his fee, in a space of time
varying from two to five minutes. One
day an army man was shown into the
consulting room. and underwent what
may be called the instantaneous process.
When it was completed the patient shook
hands heartily with the doctor and said.
81 am especially glad to meet you, as !
have often heard my father, Col Fores-
ter, speak of his old friend. DIR. L.
''Whatl' exclaimed the doctor, ''are you
Dick Forester's son?" "Most certainly /
am" my dear fellow, fling that in
fernal prescription into the fire and sit
down quietly and tell me what's the mat
ter with you. "-Murray's Magazine.

The Medieval Housewife.

The housewife of the middle ages
cooked over an open fire on a stone
hearth in the middle of the room, hole
in the roof letting the smoke escape
Over this fire the people shivered in cold
weather; but at 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 on the floor in
stead, especially when company was ex-
pected. There were tapestries on the
walls of the finer houses. At dinner
people sat on wooden benches and stools
at heavy table of boards set on trestles,
and this was covered with cloth. The
hill of fare 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.

A Skating Princess.

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

The Manufacturers Gazette thinks
there is nothing more damaging to a
business than to be found wanting in the
matter of promptness in filling orders
A great many firms will promise to have
an order at a certain time, when they
are confident in their own minds that it
will be almost an utter impossibility to
do SO. This is done to secure the orders,
but cannot fail of damaging effect in
the future. 1t is just as important that
an order be filled at the time agreed as
that any other engagement or appoint
ment be kept The man who arranges
for meeting with another at certain
time is expected to be on time, In these
days of great enterprise and push, every
business man has his time fully taker
and promptness in keeping an appoint
ment is an important matter to him
Just SO it is in filling orders. Prompt
ness is as much to the credit Of concern
as is the quality of the work or the mate
rial used.

The Sumterville fla Times tells a
remarkable story in connection with
the phosphate excitement. 1t says that
several persons have been drowned in
the Withlacooche river while diving
for hidden treasures. "a colored man
named Abrams is the last victim, and
his case was very peculiar one. A
party was sounding the bottom of the
Withlacooche for phosphate, and when
an extraordinary bone or tooth was dis
covered Abrams would dive down and
bring it up At last he saw very large
bone and dived for it, but remained at
the bottom. Waiting few moments
and seeing his body at the bottom, Crap
plinghooks were obtained by his COM
rades and his body was brought to the
surface. As he came up huge horn or
tusk was seen sticking out of his head.
Upon examination it was found that in
diving he had struck head first huge
elephants tusk that was standing on
the rivers bed in an upright position.
1t had pierced his brain, causing instant
death. The tusk was over four feet
long"

Time Saved by Electric Lights.

In the Postoffice Central Savings
bank, in London, it has been found af-
ter two years experience of electric
lighting that the average amount Of
illness has been diminished by about
two days per year for each person on
the staff. This is equivalent to a gain
to the service of the time of about eight
clerks in that department alone. TAX
ing the cost at the overtime" rate
only, this would mean a saving in sal
aries Of 964O a year. The cost of the
installation of the electric light was
f3, $40, and the annual cost of working
e700 per annum, say total annual
cost of 81, O34. The cost Of gas con-
sumed for lighting purposes was 9700
a year, so that on the whole there was
a direct saving Of something like e266
year to the government, besides the
material advantage of the better work
of the staff, resulting from the inn
proved atmospheric conditions under
which their work is done. New York

In travelling on the continent get Be
daekers guide books. Look up the
hotels, and if intending to stop at any
place for several days write ahead for
terms. Ask for price including light
and service, as they are always extra.
When the price does not include lights
take candles along. The charge for
lights is fifty cents night for each per-
son, and a dozen candles cost but twenty
cents. Soap is always an extra except
in England.

it. In all the Paris restaurants they
charge for the table cloth and napkins

PaIpitation of the Heart,

A French physician announces that
distressing or excessive palpitation of
the heart can always be arrested by
bending double, the head down and
the hands hanging, SO as to produce a
temporary congestion of the upper
portion of the body. In nearly every
instance of nervous or anamic palpl-
tation, the heart Immediately resumes
its natural function. If the move
ments of respiration are arrested dur
ing this action, the effect is still more
apid.-Herald of Health.

The Vanity of Men

"a man cares more about his shape
than a woman" said a corset maker,
land will resort to more stringent and
uncomfortable measures to improve his
figure. A stout woman will walk mile
for two or three days and stop eating
candy for 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 as his trainer recommends.
Place a glass at the left of any public
stairway, and four men to one woman
will turn to look in it, and from these
premises may be 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 more 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 few leaders as courageous as
the apostles of dress suit reform would
introduce the practice New York Sum-
