TRAVELLING "BY HAND.''

A Peculiar Expression Often Heard IN
New England.
While the country people of New
England have no such marked dialect
as prevails in some other parts OF the
United States, it is a fact, says the
Youths Companion, that they use
many, words and phrases which to
strangers are often quite Incompetent
sible.
A girl who spent a. summer on a farm
in northern Vermont says that if her
language was half as confusing to
the people of that region as a good
deal of theirs was to her she wonders
they didn't ask her to supply them with
'skey."
One day she asked farmer how long
it would take her to get to the nearest
village.
Lies see,'' said the man, slowly,
ssthey amt much choice tween Porter
vile an Skimby's Corner, but I calc'late
the Corner may be a grain nearer. How
was you plannin' to git there: by hand?'
:sBy what?'' asked the astonished girl.
'sBy hand, was what I said,'' replied
the farmer. .'Don't ye know what thai
means? Waal, seem you're from city
way, s'pose I'd oughter've said: was
you intendin' to foot it?' But we allus
say by hand here, fer it seems more

A BUSY PRINCESS.
The Numerous Duties of the Princess
of Wales.

The Numerous Duties of the Princess
of Wales. 81"
The princess of Wales is one of the
busiest women in the world, compared
to whom the wife of a day laborer has
leisure. When her daughters were in
the school-room, punctually at nine
o'clock every morning she went into
the school-room with the teachers and
masters to examine the work of the
previous day, and now that they are in
society she personally supervises their
gowns, designing and working on them
herself, as she is q skilled dressmaker.
Besides her own arduous public duties
and those she has to perform for the
queen, she undertakes a large CORE
spondence with her brothers, sisters
and parents. So numerous are her
calls Of duty, and pleasure which fire.
ouently takes the form of duty, that
when in London this royal lady, who is
never expected to button her own boots
or curl her royal hair, cannot get her
work done to retire earlier than two
o'clock in the morning Not many
years after the pretty Dane came up to
London on her wedding journey she
wrote in her diary, as her favorite king
and queen, Queen Dagmar and Richard
Coer de Leon; her favorite hero, poet
and artist, Wellington, Byron and Sir
Joshua Reynolds. The author she
most admired then was Dickens, the
virtue to her most worthy was charity,
her favorite locality was "home," her
chief ambition mot to be FAST and
her motto, ''Dieu ct mon droit."

MISTAKEN IDENTITY.

A Flea-Trainer's Woe at Losing One OF

The following story is told about a
proposed entertainment of performing
fleas, long while ago, before the
king of Prussia, says the New York
Press.
All of the royal party had assembled
about platform on which the exhibit
ton was to take place. The entertain
ment was called Napoleon and his
generals y
The court sat in expectation, but the
'sprofessor'' vino was manager Of the
affair shook his bushy name and rolled
his eyes in anguish, while he wrung his
long hands and marched up and down
his little cage. At last he gasped:
Napoleon is missing
He paused and cast his eagle eye over
the distinguished company. He OBJ

a little. Throwing his whole soul into
his eyes and voice, he approached that
august .ady and the king.

THE FIRST SLEEP.

1t Is Deeper and Sweeter Than That
Which Comes Afterwards.
How long does our ''first Sleep last?
Sir James Crichton Browne, in his lee
ture at the Midland institute on ''Brain
Rest told his hearers that ordinary
sleep grows deeper for the first hour
and half and then steadily diminishes
until the slumberer awal1ens. DIR.
Browne pleads for eight hours for ac-
lively working brains, though ascetic
notions have led many people to short
en- the time, with the result that in
certain cases it has been proved that
the amount of sleep may be consider
ably reduced without injury. Literary
men are apt to starve the brain in the
matter of sleep, but some, nevertheless,
have got on pretty well in spite of in
somnia. Carlyle and Rossetti furnish
instances DR.. Browne quoted letter
from his friend, DR.. Tyndall: who says
sfor four weeks I never had a single
second of sleep and during those nights
walked thousands of times round my
room to no purpose. What astonishes
me above all Che adds is, notwithstand-
ing my nights WEAKNESS, my brain
power does not appear to be sensibly
impaired. After two or three hours
sleep feel my brain as strong and
clear as it ever was at any period of ny
life" It was, in Sir J. .Crichton
Brownies opinion, impossible to doubt
that nutrition, and repair must have
gone on in the brain during periods of
sleeplessness The brain, in short
must, as he expresses it, ']1ave learned
the trick Of the heart and gone to sleep
during the beats, or it must have slept

I NAPOLEON AND BISMARCK.
N interesting Account of . Remarkable
Interview.

IN Interesting Account of Remarkable
Interview.
Hardly had Prince Napoleon been
hid to rest in the royal mausoleum at
la Superga, near Turin, says the Re
view of Reviews, than the marquis of
Willeneuve, relative and friend Of the
deceased, published in the Figaro a very
remarkable story Of Prince Napoleon's
Interview with Prince Bismarck, inn
mediately before the Austro-Prussian
war of 1866. The marquis says that
Prince Napoleon was sent by the en-
peror to discuss the situation and to as
certain what Bismarck was driving at.
The Prussian seems to have entered
into the spirit of the occasion, and Gin
twenty minutes, with great spirit, NJ.
de Bismarck set forth the following
plan: Germany to achieve her unity
and ally herself with France. The two
nations, closely bound together, to drive
Russia back to her Steppes, to make
Hungary the pivot Of the Austrian en-
pire and open to it free access to Con-
stantinople: to deprive England of her
colonies and make them the receptacle
for the OVERLOOKING population of Ger
many and France; and to reduce Spain,
Italy and the Scandinavian countries to
the rank of mere satellites.
To tempt France, Bismarck suggested
first Geneva, then Luxembourg, and
finally, when Napoleon asked for the
Rheine, offered Belgium. s'What about
England?'' said Napoleon.
''Count Bismarck Well, if
Twas an American cotton planter, or an
Indian raiah, what the English might
think should be bound to take into
very serious account. But am a great
continental power, and simply ignore
England. What can she do? She may
he able to send out eighty thousand, one
hundred thousand, say, at the outside
one hundred and fifty thousand men;
she cannot possibly mobilize a greater
number. Are we not strong enough,
you and we together, to drive them into
the channel?:'
Prince Napoleon's reply to this edify-
ing observation was to say that he
should sum up their conversation to the
emperor as follows: IN. de Bismarck
has proposed to us a burglary on very
large scale. AS we cannot hand him
over to the police, let us join him and
share the plunder.'' Bismarck laughed
loudly, and shook hands, saying: ''You,
atan events, do understand me-" Bis
marck certainly understood his visitor.
