Rnried Traasure in Italy.

For centuries it has been the belief of the common people of Genoa that treasures were hidden in the bed of the Polcavera, stream that runs by the city. Recently a carter, in digging for sand in the bed of the dried-up torrent, came upon hidden treasure, of which so far coin of the face value of sixty thousand francs has been found, and the supply is not yet exhausted. By the Italian law half of this goes to the state and half to the finder. The value of the coins is far beyond the sum men, tioned; many of them are rare and of great artistic value. They are chiefly gold, and belong to the period between 146O and 155O-that is, the reigns of Louis XI., Charles VIII, Louis XII. and Francis l., and are all either French or Genoese. The Genoese ducats are specially rare and will fetch high prices. The search for treasure is going on under police supervision.

Nannleon as a Nimrod.

An anecdote of the first Napoleon is told in a story, forming part of the recollections of the two uncles of the writer, described as ''favorites" of Napoleon TIL, runs as follows: Once, hunting with the em- peror, they were consoled by him for their bad shooting, with the assurance that the first Napoleon was even a worst shot than they. It seems that whenever a stag was brought to bay, it was usual to leave the animal to be killed by Napoleon. On one occasion Napoleon could not be found, and the master of the hounds did the busi- ness. Suddenly Napoleon arrived, and the stag was hurriedly propped up on his legs with tree boughs. The gun was handed to him and he fired at the stag, which, of course, fell to the ground, while a piteous whine from a hound showed that something different from dead stag was hit. Napoleon was completely deceived, and observed: After all, am not so bad shot as they try to make out"

ELECTRIC ELEVATORS.
They Are Not Only Signaled, But Started and Stopped by the Lightning Fluid.

They Are Not Only Signaled, But Started
 and Stopped by the Lightning Fluid.
 There is vast difference between the latest perfected elevator and the elevator of few yearsago, says the New York Mail and Express. The electric elevator is the latest. The passenger signals it by teleseme, as the appliance is called by which be presses a button labeled ''Take me up" or ''take me down" as may be, in response to which faint buzzing in the car of the conductor of each car, whether there are two or half dozen, draws his attention to an indicator that shows on what floor the passenger is and which way he wants to go. The first car to pass that floor going his way takes him.
 But the most novel point is that electricity is also used in running the cars. The conductor does not pull a steel cable nor grasp handle as big as the reverse bar of locomotive. He presses a button and the elevator rushes up, another button and it de- scends, third and it stops. Before long the elevator men will be called operators at this rate, and charming young ladies, with fluffy bangs and rings on their fingers, will be doing tha yvOrL

THE NEXT PARIS EXPOSITION.
Attractive Features Proposed for the Uni.

Attractive Features Proposed for the Uni
 versal Show in 1900.
 Already they appear to be commenc ing preparations for the exposition o1 1900 in Paris. It would strike Amer jeans that the introduction of electric ity for general lighting had not made that progress one would expect there. But this season, says the Philadelphia Telegraph, the way in which number of streets have been torn up to put in electric cables, shows that when the exposition is open all Paris will be brighter than ever by night. And now everyone who gives thought to the coming show is racking his brains to find something to distinguish the com. ing from the preceding shows. Among these has been proposed by the Petit Journal scheme which it is thought will be particularly interesting to the children, and everyone knows how at tractive that is to grown people, al- though they may not be willing to ad- nit it. It has been suggested by Ar mand Dayot, inspector of fine arts, to unite with the exposition of 1900 the garden of the Tuileries, which latter is to be exclusively reserved for juvenile attractions, to be a sort of children's paradise, quite apart from the amuse- ments and distractions of the grown people. There will be no lack of vari- ety to give success to the idea. There will be interesting museums of chill dren's toys, retrospective collections of dolls, where the crude terra cotta darl- ing which the blind Nidia of Pompeii may have carried may look from the far end of the line down to her fin-de- siecle distant relative in gorgeous Paris dressing and capable of singing an entire song in a squeaky, grat- ing photograph falsetto! Then there will be panoramas and dioramas in min iature, to be decorated by such artists as Boutet de Monvel and Kate Green away. Punch and Judy shows in all their variety and nationality, from all corners of the world and of all periods, from the ChignOt of the classic period to the marionettes of Boulogne, and the Karaguez of Constantinople, all displaying the antics of the same old ''Polichinelle," eternally raging to the intense amusement of the children. There are to be children's balls and pony cavalcades under the trees, and under cover a sort of wax works show ing children of genius in their early days; such as Lulli, Mozart, Giotto, Viviana, Canova and that astonishing Henry de Heineclen, who at the age of two years spoke three languages while yet in his nurses arms, and could speak piece in Latin also.
 It is to be hoped that baby king of Spain will send his baby regiment, and, although they are Spanish soldiers, they may be allowed by the French government to show their drill in the garden. That the coming men and women have had no place, nothing suitable for their capabilities, in for mer exhibitions must be acknowledged; and that such a display, coupled with retrospective exhibition ef educational methods, will make the whole affair immensely attractive to both young and old, no one will doubt.

MYSTERIOUS DIsAPPEARANcEs
Men of Prominence Who Suddenly Drop Out of Sight.

Men of Prominence Who Suddenly DroI Out of Sight.
 There appears to be a singular in. crease. in late years, in the number o1 people moving in the higher walks oi life, occupying civil positions of promi- nence, and enjoying rare social distinc. tion, who suddenly disappear under circumstances that baffle all ordinary efforts to account for. Without known reason or ascertainable cause they van. ish from mortal ken and, stranger yet, leave no trace. E. A. Osborne, NJ. n. writes in the Chautauquan o1 these mysterious disappearances and the attendant lapses of identity in the missing ones, giving several in- stances that came under his own obser- vation. He says:
 From the more reliable statistics available they seem to be as common, per ratio of population, in one section as in another, as frequent in one sea- son as another, and erratically to avoid anything like rule of procedure be- yond the one prime propelling impulse to step out and be gone. Herein lies an undefinable mystery and an un- measurable danger, for until we know just how and why this subtle psycho- logical force arises, there can be no sense of security felt by any individual as a personal immunity from this strange and powerful, all powerful it would seem, propelling force. In the selection of victims the educated and illiterate, the sick and the we'll, the strong and the infrm, the rich and the poor, the man of brains and the man of brawn, the occupant of the palatial residence and the dweller in the hut are all treated with rare ind:scrimina- tion.
 Let us suppose for the sake of ex- planation that we accept the theory of every persons being actuated by a double consciousness, a twin self, which, when the organization is in state of normal, healthy equipoise, har- moniously dominates all the acts which characterize us, just as in health and in physiological balance our two eyes see as one, our ears hear as one, or our double brain so nicely conjoined, req sons, receives impressions, transfers them into sensations, and directs the operations of the complex nervous sys- tenn, in all acting, essentially, as one brain.
 We are now ready to believe that circumstances may arise so to influence our CONSCIOUS quality, that the one shall be influenced more than the other and in turn produce such an errantry, such type of vagarious personality, as the individual originally might never be accused of possessing or know himself that he possessed.

Prompt Action of an Engineer Saves the
 Life of a Child.
 ''To do the right thing at the right moment is a great faculty" said a well-known railroad man to the Lewis town Journal man. ''I say this illus trated once. 1 was on the engine with Ed Chase, who was for manly years en- gineer on the Dexter branch of the Maine Central. Now as one comes into Corinna village from the south there is long down grade that makes a heavy freight or mixed train pretty hard thing to handle there. We were booming along at good speed with a heavy load behind us. 1 was chatting carelessly with Chase, when all at once he jumped and whistled on the brakes with vim, at the same. moment re- versing his engine. 'There is some thing ahead there on the track, he ex- claimed. It may be a dog, but may be it's somebody's body
 'The breaks were put down hard and the train slowed up and pretty soon we tween the rails playing in the gravel baby too small to think of danger. It seemed certain that the train would not be held before striking her, and Chase ran out on the pilot to snatch her out of harms way. The big en- zine came to a standstill only about three feet from where she still sat. She looked up, laughing merrily, as if she thought it was fine thing to stop train.
 'Itwas Chase's instantaneous action, when he didn't kpow whether it was child or dog, that saved the little ones life. A delay of five seconds would have been too late, for the train would certainly have gone over her. have seen men act many times in emergen- cies, when cool and quick judgment was required, but never happier in- stance than this"

A SMART OCULIST.
He Acts as Scientific Detective and Ex-
 poses an Attempted Fraud.

He Acts as Scientific Detective and Ex-
 poses an Attempted Fraud.
 Here is an interesting account of a very clever bit of detective work by an oculist:
 It appears that in large factory in which were employed several hundred persons one of the workmen in wield- ing his hammer carelessly allowed it to slip from his hand. It flew half way across the room and struck fellow workman in the left eye. The man averred that his sight was blinded by the blow, although careful examina- ton failed to reveal any injury, there being not scratch visible. He brought a suit in the courts for compensation for the loss of half of his eyesight, and refused all offers of compromise, says an English paper.
 Under the law the owner of the fac tory was responsible for an injury re- sulting from an accident of this kind, and although he believed that the man was shamming and that the whole case was an attempt at swindling, he had about made up his mind that he would be compelled to pay the claim. The day of the trial arrived, and in open court an eminent oculist retained for the defense examined the alleged in- jured member and gave it as his opinion that it was as good as the right eye. Upon the plaintiff's loud protest of his inability to see with his left eye the oculist proved him a perjurer and sat- isfed the court and jury of the falsity of his claim.
 And how do you suppose he did it? Why, simply by knowing that the colors green and red combined make black. He procured black card on which few words were written with green ink. Then the plaintiff was or dered to put on pair of spectacles with two different glasses, the one for the right eye being red and the one for the left eye consisting of ordinary glass. Then the card was handed him and he was ordered to read the writing on it. This he did without'hesitation, and the cheat was at once exposed. The sound right eye, fitted with the red glass, was unable to distinguish the green writing on the black surface of the card, while the left eye, which he pretended was slghtless, was the one with which the reading had to be done.

More Frills Than Comfort.

If they make my home much moro attractive and comfortable" said Mir. Glimmerton, ''I shall have to leave it altogether. They have taken there lately to making sofa and chair cush- ions of lovely materials, and very soft and comfortable, which they scatter around on the chairs and sofas, but it seems that these are for visitors only and to look at; they are not for mem bers of the family. If I forget and sit down on one of them hear Mrs. Glim- merton or Miss Glimmerton say: oh, don't do that! and then they come and pat it and smooth it and fix it over again, but know that its invitation is not for me-"

PAPER HORSESHOES.
They Are Helpful to Cavalry Horses on
 Long Marches.

They Are Helpful to Cavalry Horses on
 Long Marches.
 When paper horseshoes were first in troduced into the cavalry service of the German army few years ago they eral cavalry horses were first shod with the paper shoes and the effect ob- served. It was found, says the Chicago Herald, that not only did the lightness and elasticity of the shoe help the horse on the march, making it possible for him to travel faster and farther without fatigue than horses shod with iron, but that the paper shoe had the property of being unaffected by water and other liquids. These new sheets of paper are pressed closely together, one above another, and rendered inn pervious to the moisture by the appli- cation of oil of turpentine. The sheets are glued together by sort of paste composed of turpentine, whiting, gum and linseed oil, and then submitted to a powerful hydraulic pressure. Paper horseshoes are also made by grinding up the paper into mass, combining it with turpentine, sand, gum, litharge and certain other substances, pressing it and afterward drying it. But these shoes are less tough and elastic than those made of thin sheets of paper laid one upon another. These shoes are fastened to the horses feet either by means of nails or with a kind of glue made of coal tar and caoutchouc.

ASSAULTED HIS DUDE SON.

An Aged DarIky Says Ills Son Is Poorer
 Trash Than Existed "BefO' de Wah."
 A white-haired Virginia negro, Isaiah Dorsey, whose thrift and good charac- ter many years ago won him rot only his freedom but white wife, appeared before Justice McMahon in the York vile police court the other day in an swer to a summons iSsu ed at the re- quest of his son, Albert c. Dorsey, twenty-three years old, who complained that his father had whipped him twice during the week, the more recent chastisement partaking of the nature of clubbing, says the New York Post. Young Dorsey, clad in figured waist coat, brilliant tie, and generally strik- ing attire, told the judge very cooly of his fathers violence, and rather sneeringly said that ''the old man does not know how to behave" At this the father, trembling with anger, broke out as follows:
 Judge, dat ere dude trash standin' dere wifi his good clos says 1 'saulted an beat him. I did, sah. He says I don know how to behave. Pr'a'ps 1 don, sah. But 1 know dat dat ere cologne-smellin' dude don do muffin to help his mother or me bin aworlzin' my hands off for him, and his mothers done de same thing. His mothers done pawned her watch an her dresses to gib him money. He's done muffin but drink it away. An when he done earned some money las week an made him gib some to his mother and he objected, jes' whaled him-like my ole massa used to whale me. An if he don' do as he ought by his mother I'll whale him again, sahv'
 Justice McMahon finally succeeded in convincing the father that it would be safer for him not to take the law into his own hands, and on his agree ing to let his son alone Dorsey was al- lowed to go home. As he went out he muttered back to the judge: Dat ere ducks poorer trash den anything dat used to Ev' in ole Virginy befo' de Wah!"

rtfIizinr Human Hair.

Human hair would be salable com: modity in foreign markets, says MT. Hillier, British consul at Fusan, were its existence more generally known. The Coreans have remarkably fine heads of hair and they put their comb ings to use that he has never seen elsewhere. A very large number of the saddle cloths placed under the packs of their ponies are made of hair woven into course mats or bags, and the same material is utilized in mak- ing the halters and head ropes of their animals.

GETTING AROUND THE OLD MAN
An Unrslenting Papa Carries His Daugh-
 tors Love Letters.

ter's Love Letters.
 There is business man of this city who has very pretty daughter with whom one of papa's office staff has fallen hopelessly in love, says the De- not invited to the paternal mansion, and the young woman has been notified to keep away from the paternal office, the course of their love does not flow very smoothly. However, they have hit upon an expedient which gives them channel of communication, and they will continue to employ it if papa's eyes do not rest on this expose. It was the girl who thought of it-it always is the girl who finds clew to the situ- ation.
 It is this way: When papa enters the office in the morning he hangs his hat on a certain nail among a row of other hats and proceeds to business. Then the interested clerk, while the head of the firm is reading his morning mail, takes the hat from the nail where it is hung, looks inside, slips his hand under the lining and takes out a tiny missive, which he at once conveys to his own pocket, and the contents of which de- light and amuse him all day.
 At night when papa returns home his pretty daughter slips into the hall and makes raid on that hat, always fnd- ing there an answer to her missive of the morning. How much longer papa will occupy the position of Cupid's mail-carrier remains to be seen. He will be madder than natter when he finds if ont

A Counterfeit schoolma'am.

For forty years the principal of a young lady's school in Copenhagen has been respected asa lady. Lately ''she" became very rude to one of her pupils and was arrested. After two days in- generation it was noticed that ''she" needed shaving. Then it became mani fest that the principal was really a man.
