Prince NaroieoS's Pompeian Mansion.
When the part Prince Napoleon might
have taken in French politics ceases to
be contrasted with the part he actually
did take he win be remembered for quite
a different achievement. In u strange
part of Paris he built a very curious
mansion, and collected brilliant circle
of friends to witness a singular enter
tainment. The circumstance, once no.
torious, is now almost forgotten. Thirty
i've years ago the prince went Pompeii
mad. 1t was the fashionable craze of
the day.
Artists, authors, dilettanti-they all
took it; but the prince alone had funds
and purposed to realize his wild project.
If he could build house just like one
of those old Pompeian mansions. if he
could furnish it classically, put in the
right bronzes and statuettes, himself
dress like an old Roman and get his
friends to do the same.-well, he actually
reduced the dream to fact.
In the avenue Montaigne, at that time
perilously near the Bal Mabille, the pal
ace was reared ON the true Pompeian
lines. Gerome painted the decorations
Homer chanting his ballads, and
nymphs that represented the Odyssey
and Liad. Everything was classic and
was Greek, but the Bonaparte blood
flowed in the veins of the owner.
Prince Napoleon set up busts and stat
ues Of his family all round the atrium-
Napoleon and Josephine and Marie
Louise, Lucien, Charles, Louis and Je-
rome; they all had their place in this
classic apartment. And here, before the
emperor and empress, a French play was
acted in classic costume-Favart, Bro
han and Theophile Gautier being the
company, and Got and Emile Angler
among the audience. Boston Herald.

Of all birds, from the farmers stand
point, owls are the most useful. They
hunt silently and in the night, and are
nothing short of lynx eyed cats with
wings. The benefit they confer upon
agriculturists is most incalculable, and
is susceptible of proof. 1t is well known
that owls hunt by night; but it may be
less matter of common knowledge that.
like other birds of prey, they return by
the mouth hard indigestible parts of the
food in the form of elongated pellets.
These are found in considerable quanti-
tits about the birds haunts, and an ex-
animation of them reveals the fact that
owls prey upon number of predaceous
creatures, the destruction of which is
directly beneficial to man.
OF course the evidence gained in this
way is infallible, and to show to what
extent owls assist in preserving the bal
ance of nature it may be mentioned that
700 pellets examined yielded the remains
of 9 bats, 10 rats, 237 mice, 69S voles,
1880 shrews and % birds. These truly
remarkable results were obtained from
the common barn owl, and the remains
of the % birds were those of 10 sparrows,
/ greenfnch and swifts. The tawny
and long cared owls of our woodlands
are also mighty hunters, and an exam
nation Of their pellets shows equally in
teresting evidence.-Cornhill Magazine.

Ten thousand dollars in gold and
greenbacks has been found secreted in
an old table in the residence of John
Sprague, a shoemaker, of Wilmington,
Del. The money represents his deceased
wife's savings for thirty-nine years. On
Jan. q Mrs Mary Sprague, wife of the
cobbler, dropped dead, victim of heart
disease, in drug store. The couple
came to Wilmington from England thir-
ty-one years ago. The husband is about
sixty years of age, while the wife was
nearly fifty-nine years old when she died.
They were frugal and industrious, and
during their thirty-nine years of married
life the husband weekly gave the wife a
certain sum of money for her use. He
never questioned what she did with the
surplus, but supposed it was regularly
put in bank.
When Mrs. Sprague died search was
made for the handbook supposed to
exist. but to no avail. The house was
ransacked also, but no money was found.
Finally Mrs. Mckinley, a neighbor, sug-
gested, as she had had dream to that
effect, that possibly the treasure might
be secreted in an antique table, and this
article of furniture was examined.
Tightly wedged in an inside corner Of
the table were found bag of gold and a
roll of greenbacks, which, being counted,
amounted to $40. 000.-Cor. Philadelphia

1y rivals, since each has won two
championship banners and wants a
third

13 gives the outlook from each col
1ege and an account of each ones
work. From this account it appears
that William L. Raub, Academy 'S9,

mile walk.
At Dartmouth Edward K. Hall,
Academy 'SS, Dartmouth '92, will
probably enter the 22O-yard dash.
Edward 0. Grover, Academy go,
Dartmouth '94, is in training for the
mile walk, but it is pretty generally
conceded to Amherst. Henry c. Ide,
Academy 'S9, Dartmouth '93, will
be depended upon for the hurdle races.
Ide, continues the Republican, was
the winner last year in the low
hurdle race but his time is slow He
has not done very well in practice
this year and it is doubtful if he can
defeat the men from Wesleyan. He
loves ball playing better than hurd-
ling and it does not improve him
any for the sport. The hammer
