A brave French officer, now on the re-

the Franco-Prussian war, appeared as
witness before court in a city in the
south of France few weeks ago, relates
the New Orleans Times Democrat. When
called upon to swear that he would tell
the truth, in the customary manner, the
officer naturally raised his left hand.
The counsel for the defendant objected
to the witness at once, on the grounds
that ssan oath taken with the left hand
was worthless" The learned judges
were unable to decide the question, and
withdrew to an ante-room for consulta.

remnants of our army appear in our

William Henry Harrison.

William Henry Harrison the ninth
President of the United States was of an
old Virginia family, around whose man
sion is spread the beautisul estate of
Berkely. In it singer of the Declara-
alton of Independence had been born,
and again one of the Presidents. Har-
rison was born February 8, 1773. He
graduated at Hampden Sidney College.
and then went to Philadelphia to study
medicine. But he was a born soldier,
and when an army was gathered to fight
the Indians in the west he Immediately
Joined it. At the age of nineteen he
was with Wayne in all his conflicts with
the northwestern tribes, where he
greatly distinguished himself by his
wisdom and bravery. In 1901 he was
chosen Governor of that immense dis
trict now including the States of Indiana,
Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin. The
population of this tract was much scat
tered and exposed to continual attacks
from the Indians. For nearly fifteen
wears he renamed in this far west and
distant country, watching it settle into
peaceful and wonderful prosperity. He
was inaugurated Chief Magistrate in
March, 1871; and perhaps no man since
Washington has received such an en-
thusiastic and spontaneous welcome as
the hero of Tippecanoe. For ouly
twenty days did he bear the clamor OF
office seekers and the fatigue of the
routine of state business; then his slight
constitution, already undermined by his
Western life, gave way and just one
month after his Inauguration he died.
He was an honest man, a brave general,
and true lover of his country. The
last words his lips uttered were wish
for the perpetual existence of the Con-
stitution. At his death he was in his
sixty-nlnth year Detroit Free Press.

Curious SuperstitiOns.

The people of the West Indies are the
most superstitious in the world. To them
everything out of the ordinary is a
"sign." In Cuba person with sore or
wound of any kird will not look upon a
dead person, fearing that the spot will be-
come incurable and never heal. The rum
used in washing dead body is, how
ever, regarded as sure cure for all eye
troubles. They also believe that if the
light from candle or lamp falls on the
face of the dead that death will shortly
come to him or her who was carrying the
light. Rain during burial is consid
cred an excellent ''sign" throughout the
islasds. If one measures his own height
with rod which has been used in meas.
uring a corpse for the coffin he himself
will die within the year. A stroke with
the hand of corpse is believed by the
West Indian to be a sure cure for all
pains and swellings. The lilac or SHAY.
brush" is common charm against all
evil spirits, and is on that account usu-
ally planted at doorways or under win
dows. In Barbados the ground dove
sitting on house is ''sign" that some
member of the family there residing will
die before the birds nest again. A pro
cession of black ants is said to be s
presage of funeral In all but one OF
two of the West Indies. In st. Croix
small bird locally called "creeper" is
thought to be the forerunner of illness
or trouble. - Chicago Ne,os.

In the Forum, Camille Pelletan quotes
some striking figures to show the burden
of the military expenditures of France
and Germany during the last twenty
years. He says that between the close of
the last war and the year 1889, France
spent sum equal to 50, 500, 900, 900 for
the support of her military and naval
forces, and more than $500, 900, 900 for
the renewal of her military material, or
say, So, 900, ,000,0 900 in all. Except for
the navy he estim ates the disbursements
of Germany as being very nearly the
same. The one country spends annually
$3.50, ,000,0 900 on its army and navy, the
other $3.50, 900, 900, and the group of
five great Continental powers shows an
aggregate annual war expenditure of
5000, 100000. Well may NJ. Pelletan
ask, show long can European labor,
obliged to compete with that of the New
World, support such overwhelming bur-
dens9'

Some years ago rich Glasgow (Scot-
land) merchant nam "a Buchanan left the
money to build and maintain SUBURBAN
home for sixteen unfortunate business
men or other deserving citizens of Glas-
gov, the only stipulation being that they
should bear the name of Buchanan. The
place, which is under the trusteeship of
the Provosts and magistrates of Glasgow,
Is now ready for occupancy. There is a
park OF three acres, handsome build
ing, accommodations for sixteen men In
perfect style, and an annual revenue of
$4,000. The only thing lacking is i'm
poverished Buchanans. There are lots
of that name in the town, but none who

install bearers with less fortunate
patronymics instead.

Soap is a Great Beautifier.

A curious prejudice that some people
have is against soap as an application for
the face; this is great fallacy. Good
soap is great beautiter, and great pre-
ventive of the uncomely looking "black-
heads" which are such q Disagreement
and are so hard to get rid of. The real
cause of these unpleasant little specks is
not, as rule, anything more serious
than this: Some people have much larger
skin pores than others, and the dust col
lects, settles and finally forms a hard
black little substance which probably
would never have had a chance OF de.
veloping if the skin was thoroughly
washed with soap twice day and rubbed
vigorously with coarse towel. DO not
be afraid of red nose; the redness will
soon Jade quickly away and leave nt
trace.~-.New York Tribune.

The Spontaneous Ignition of Coal.

An excellent paper "On the Spontan-
eous Ignition of Coal" was read by Pro-
fcssor Lewis before the British Associa-
tion at their recent meeting at Cardiff.
In this paper the Professor points out
that the common idea that spontaneous
ignition is caused by the presence of iron
pyrites in the coal cannot be true, be-
cause in many manufactures pyrites are
largely used, and although stored in
heaps and undergoing continuous oxida-
ton, he has been unable to trace single
case of heating. Spontaneous combus-
ton may be more truly traced to the alb
sorptive power of newly-won coal for
oxygen, an action which is accompanied
by great rise of temperature, and is
naturally fastened if the coal be stored
on shipboard that a portion of it is near
the funnel or boilers.
Accidents from this cause are most
numerous in ships which have to cross
tropical seas, from the greatly increased
temperature to which the coal is sub
jected. Ventilation in many ships is
worse than useless, for it provides the
coal with just sufficient oxygen to
feed 1t when burning. Moisture is also
an important factor in determining the
ignition of stored coal. Professor Lewes
says that if newly-won coal were stored
for a month in moderate sized heaps, so as
TO allow it to take up its oxygen and
cool down after the heating caused in the
process, spontaneous ignition would be

A lugubrious and ludicrous story OF
national disaster is reported from Central
America. The San Salvadorean navy
has been severely crippled, if not disa-
,,led, and in the event of war the posi-
ton of the Republic would be most seri-
Gus. The news is that Admiral Ambro-
sini, an Italian, by the way, who was
commander of the little Criscatlan, the
only war vessel belonging to Salvador,
has abandoned his post and gone to San
Francisco carrying with him about $4,000
of the national funds which the Govern
ment had sent to him to pay for neces-
sary repairs to the vessel.

OPPORTUNITY.

Once, passing through garden fair.
Youth spied a flower unfolding to the
day; s
Its blood-red- bud lips longed to snare
In conquest the young traveller on his way.
So filled with life that flower, its soul it
spent
In fragrance, which was mutely eloquent.
ssTake mer' it breathed' "to you l all re-
sign"
Youth answered: 'On the morrow you'll be
mine."
That which was called the morrow came;
The sweet bloom strained its petals to the
light;
Its fragrant furnace glowed its ruddiest
So strong was expectation. it betokened
might.
The bright day waned, nor for a rose would
stay;
Unto his bed night led his bride, the day;
The flower, forgotten, paled and sickly
grew,
While from its being fell cold tears Of dew.
At last one day did Youth appear,
Seeking the beauty he before denied;
No kindly welcome showed as he drew near,
For that dear life had lived its day and
died.
Ashes of splendid hours-beauteous in birth,
Now fire extinguished. fallen back to
earthi
To earth! the cradle of the great and small,
The inevitable bier that awaits us all.
