EVERY FRIDAY.

The Louisville Post calls attention tc
the fact that never in the history OF the
country has any president 30 completely
won the confidence OF the people as Gro.
yer Cleveland. 1t is simply wonderful.
In the midst OF what amounts to almost
a financial crisis; with the ablest finan-
ciers wagging their heads and pouring
forth the most dolorous prophecies; with
the sacred myth OF the gold reserve in
vaded; with combination OF Wall street
gamblers endeavoring to control the fin
ancial policy of the country in order to
make money for themselves, he stands
resolute, and by his single word restores
public confidence. The very statement
made by Mr.. Cleveland that the credit
OF the United States will be maintained
and that the parity between gold and
silver will be protected is enough to
cause reaction in the money markets
OF the country and to advance the prices
OF all securities. Mr.. Cleveland's simple
not backed up by a single
or the unfolding OF a single
plan, has caused this revulsion OF feel.
ing, has allayed the fears of the panicky
and has had this good effect Such q
state OF affairs was never seen before and
I will be many year before such man
will be seen again.

Fossil Insects.

1t seems wonderful that things so
fragile, so minute, and so easily
destroyed as mere insects, should
have been preserved in rocks for
millions upon millions of years in
such perfection, that the very hair
which fringe the wings of certain
very small varieties are visible to-
day beneath the lenses of the Micro
scope. Imbedded in the scraps of
stone which make up the collection
referred to are to be seen the fossil
lied forms of all the principal
species that fly and crawl at the
present time. In this shape are
found the entombed remains of an
ancient host, so varied In structure
and so closely resembling their des-
cendants of this century, that they
may be said to include practically
every group in the range of the in
sect world as it is now known. To
the Imagination they re-populate
the past with buzzing swarms, af-
fording evidence by their variety
and the surprising numbers in
which their remnants are found, of
the fact that anciently all sorts Of
bugs, obnoxious and otherwise,
were vastly more plentiful than
now. In fact, there were numer-
Gus kinds in the early days of Gre
alton, which have since vanished
from the earth.
This was so, even so late, compar-
atively speaking, as a few thousand
years ago, during what was called
the Tertiary Epoch. At that period
there was shallow lake in little
Colorado valley near Pixies Peak,
which is overlooked by a mountain,
known modernly as Topaz Butte,
though designated by early minors
as Slim Jim. Streams into which
insects fell carried them to the
lake, which has since vanished.
They were buried beneath layers OF
volcanic sand and ash, which fell
into the lake from some neighbor-
ing eruption, being thus preserved,
so that now geologists dig out their
fossils with pickaxe and hammer.
In one little hill, which was form
erly an Island, bearing to this day
the erect trunks of giant petrified
sequoia trees, has been found a
mine of these bugs of antiquity

Horses Fond of Women.

Not long ago muscular, 200
pound man, with his wife beside
him, was driving fast high-spirit-
ed horse, harnessed to light wag-
on, writes H. C. Merwin in Ladies
Home Journal. The horse pulled
very hard, and at last, tired out, the
driver handed over the reins to his
companion, saying: Hold OH to
this beast for a minute, if you pos
sibly can, so that | may rest my
arms" Accordingly, the woman
took the reins and no sooner had
she done so than the horses stopped
pulling, slackened his pace and be-
come calm and obedient But
when the man resumed control,
the animal Immediately began to
pull and to fight against the bit as
hard as ever. A second time the
woman took the horse in hand; as
before, he submitted at once, and
under her guidance he trotted gent
ly along till their destination was
reached.
Another case that fell under my
observation is the following: A
gentleman who is a good shot and
an expert tennis player, but who
had no faculty" for horses, drove
out with his daughter, delicate
girl of fourteen. Their steed, a
very strong, mettlesome animal,
soon began to plung and pull.
Unable to control him otherwise,
the driver, in a moment of exasper-
alton, struck the horse with the
whip, the result being that he very
nearly ran away. At this the
child began to cry, for she loved
the animal and could not bear to
see him abused. Here, take him,
then," said her father, handing her
the reins. At once the horse de-
tected the new driver, his anger
and fear began to subside, and a
few soothing words from the girl
driver completed the conquest.

WHOLE NO. 1145.

Napoleon l., whose sense of hu-
NOR, if he possessed it, was of a
grim sort. IL is recorded, however,
that he had a certain sympathy
with a pun; and several of his
minor appointments were actually
made because the appointees' names
seemed to indicate their fitness for
the place.
He made Monsieur Bigot, for in
stance, his Minister of Public Wor-
ship at one time, and when he was
looking about for governor of the
Pages in the imperial palace, he
could think of no one so appropri-
ate for the place as General Gar
dame, whose name, in French, sig
nifies a keeper of donkeys.
When he came to make Marshal
Victor Beau-Soleil a duke, it struck
Napoleon that the opportunity was
an excellent one, to make a sort of
reverse or "back action" pun on
the marshal's name. Beau-Soleil
signifies beautiful sunshine" so
the Emperor created the man the
Duce de Bellune-which was very
much as if he had made him the
Duke Fine Moon.
Prince Bismark, on the other
hand, is one great statesman who
is remarkable for the possession of
keen sense of humor. This he
has often shown; and it appears in
the contents of the youthful men,
orandum book which Bismark kept
at college. German students are
sometimes presented with blank
of this kind, in which they are ex-
pected to make daily entry of some
thought or reflection. Prince Bis
mark, at twenty, filled up book of
this sort, the contents of which
have lately been purchased.
Here are some of the. sage rehec-
tions which young Bismark put on
record:
"Wealth does not bring happi-
ness. Oysters, for instance, obtain
very little real JOY from the jewell
case which Providence has sarcas-
tically placed in one corner of the
cradle"
"Idleness is the mother of vice.
If Eve had been busily sewing a
fig-leaf coat for her husband, she
would propably not have heard the
whispering of the serpent"
1.-THE spectacles of a dentist suf-
fering with an aching molar is rare
but consolatory. 1t is sight
which is, perhaps, vouchsafed to us
but once in a lifetime; but its
charm remains with us for long
wears.
