A sHREwD SOVEREIGN.
An Emperor Who Financiered to Some
Purpose.

An Emperor Who Financiered to Some
Purpose.
Among other expedients to raise
money, Ivan resigned the crown in
favor of Tarter kahn, who was bap-
tised under the name of Simeon. Ivan,
says the Gentleman's Magazine, feigned
to withdraw himself from public af-
fairs, but in reality he held on to them,
and made the new czar call in all the
charters formerly granted to the mon
asteries and bishoprics, and all the
charters were cancelled. This curious
interregnum, or by whatever name it
should be designated, lasted nearly
year, and then Ivan declared he did not
like the new regime, and, dismissing
the baptised heather, again took up
the scepter which, as a matter of fact,
he had never really discarded. He is
sued fresh charters to the monasteries,
but was careful to keep back several
fine slices of the revenues, extorting
from some of them fifty thousand and
from some others one hundred thou
sand rubles annually. We shall see,
as Ivan's character is unfolded, that
this spoilation of the monasteries was
not the only thing in which he resem-
bled our own merry monarch, Henry
VIII. He would send his agents into
the various provinces, there to buy up
at low prices the whole of some par
ticular commodity for which the prov
ince was noted. After retaining the
monopoly for awhile he would sell for
high rate and even compel merchants
to buy at the prices he named. He
followed similar course with foreign
imports, creating a monopoly and for
bidding others to sell their stocks un-
til he had disposed of his own. By
these means he cleared two hundred
thousand rubles n year.

NAPOLEON AS A HoRsEMAN.
He Changed His Mount Frequently and
InsIsted on White Chargers.

He Changed His Mount frequently and
Insisted on White Chargers.
Napoleon was most cruel horseman,
and changed his mount frequently dur
ing battle. At Waterloo, however, he
rode only the famous s'Marengo.'' An
other celebrated war horse of the great
Corsican was ''Austerlitz." Napoleon
always insisted that his horses should
be white or gray. Twelve were killed
under him. He was once carried quite
within the enemy's lines, when he mar
rowly escaped capture, by mad
charger. Napoleon's runaway, it is
only fair to confess, was caused by a
terrible wound that goaded the poor
steed to uncomfortable madness. Men
lose their heads from pain; why may
not a horse?
For dumb combatant of unqualified
savagery we must go to the camp of
those masters of warfare-the French
of Napoleon's day, says the Chicago
Herald. One of the emperor's aides,
Capt de Marriott, owned a mare named
''Lizette,'' noted in peace or war for
viciousness under certain provocation.
Once, with her master on her back,
she was surrounded by Russians. A
huge grenadier made a lunge at Marriott
with his bayonet, but Lizette dis
patched him with tigerish ferocity,
using only her teeth. Afterward she
backed off, clearing with her iron heels
a space among the Russians pressing on
her fanks, then wheeled, dragg ing
down to death beneath her hoofs an
officer as she did so, and darting
through the astonished crowd to a
place of safety. In that brief encoun-
ter she killed two Russians outright
and crippled several others with her
heels, and it all came from cruel bay
onet thrust that aroused all the poor
creatures latent frenzy.

BROKE UP THE SHOW.

man. ''It was brand-new and a

Gus one day, and while 1 was there it
struck me that # 1 put variety show
on the road with two separate and dis
tinct turns going on at the same time
the people would be tick1ed with it and

that there are many times when
man goes to variety show and yawns
through a turn because he has seen it
before or something of the kind. Now,
if there were two turns going on the
man could look at the other one, you
know, and would come away saying It
was a great show. 1t would be only
occasionally we would strike man
who would be bored by two turns at

ecution. We hired lot of people and
put on a show that was pretty good
one. We had eighteen turns, and we
ran them two at time. For instance,

about it, as matter of course. Seeing
that he had put up the money, let
him have few words to say about the

out we had row and the show busted
then and there: Since then 1 have
never found anyone who would go into

the Buffalo Express reporter.

CELESTIAL PHoTooRAPHY.
The HaEy Light of the milky Way
Myrlads OF tars.

The Haxy Light of the MILKY Way
Myriads of tars.
Sensitive as are the salts of silver in
the gelatine plates, they do not equal
in this respect the living matter of
the retina, on which images of objects
are continually being formed and
obliterated, says Longman's Magazine.
Notwithstanding this, celestial objects
can be photographed that will never
be seen by the keenest eyes, aided by
the most powerful telescope that can
be made. One reason of this is that
the Photographic plate is sensitive to
far greater range of vibrations than
the eye. Not only is it acted upon, to
slight extent, by the visual rays. but
by those as rapid as 10000, ,OOO,O 900 a
second.
Another reason is that, while the
human retina can only retain an i'm
preston for about one-seventh of a
second, the feeblest light that falls
upon the sensitive plate is not lost,
but is stored up. Hence, the photo
grapher's plate was well called by
Hersehel 1.-THE ratina that forgets not. -
What cannot be seen by the eye at a
glance will not reveal itself, though
we gaze an hour; whereas, the
chemical action on the plate at the end
of an hour IS 5000 times what it was
at the end of second. The countless
millions of waves of light striking
persistently upon one point of the
plate must, in course of time, prodnce
an image of the star. In this way ap-
parently blank parts of the heavens
have been shown to be crowded with
stars.
The total number of stars visible to
the naked eye in the whole heavens is
only about 5000; with our large tele-
scopes this number becomes more than
100000 while with the Photographic
eye it cannot be less than 16O, ZOO, 900.
Indeed, according to DIR. Roberts, it
seems as if the photographic plate
would become simply mass of stars
if sufficient exposure were allowed
This is well illustrated by photographs
of portions of the milky way, that
broad and ample road, whose dust is
gold and pavements stars" They show
that its hazy light, which leases the
eye and eludes the skill of the artist, is
simply the efforts of nyriads of stars
beyond our range of vision.

HE WANTED WORK.

And He Climbed to the Summit of Ben
Nevis to Find 1t.
An early tourist has brought down a
curious story from the top of Ben
Nevis. 1t is thus told in Scotch pa
per: One afternoon last winter the as
sistants in the observatory were some
what startled by knock at the door
a most unusual occurrence at that sea-
son of the year. The visitor turned out
to be a tramp from London. His
clothes were frozen stiff and his beard
was mass of ice. After having been
warmed and fed he astonished the
hospita BILE winterers on the Ben by in
forming them that he had come up in
search of work. When at the foot of
the mountain some one had advised him
with rather grim humor-to try Ben
Nevis observatory. Thus it was that
he came to climb the four thousand and
some hundred odd feet. The assist
ants, after replenishing his wardrobe
and supplying him with good store
of food, sent him off on his downward
way, so that he had no cause to grum-
bic at being the victim of a practical
joke.

R. Fl. Barham, author of ''The Ingolds-

amusing story of Lady Eldon's penuri-
BUSINESS.
June 1, 1922. The chancellor is very
fond of shooting. One morning last
year his 1ordship, intending to enjoy a
few hours sport after rainy night,
ordered ''Bob," the pony, to be sad
died. Lady Eldon told him he could
not have it, but company being in the
room, gave no reason. In a few min
utes, however, the servant opened the
door and announced that ''Bob' was
ready.
''Why, bless mel" cried her ladyship,
you can't ride him, Lord Eldon, he
has got no shoes on
'fOh, yes! my lady," said the servant;
he was shod last week"
''Shameful!' exclaimed her 1adyship.
Chow dared you, sir, or anybody
have that pony shod without orders?
john continued she, addressing her
husband, you know you only rode
him out shooting four times last year,
SO 1 had his shoes taken off, and have
kept them in my bureau ever since.
They are as good as new, and these
people have shod him again; we shall
be ruined at this rate!''

DEAFNESS Cannot be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
..dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
infamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result. and unless
the Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condi-
etion, hearing will be destroyed forever !;
mine cases out of ten are caused by
-catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarfh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

The Tipsy Man Not Yet Ready for Dose
of EmbaIming Fluid.
1t was 4 o'clock a. m. and as vet there
was not a saloon open in town. An
Indianapolis Sentinel man was out for
ride on his bicycle as an appetizer be-
fore breakfast, and as he passed along
he met poor traveller who was search
ing for a drink.
SHAY" said the traveller, .'I'm dry;
can ye telerfeller where he can get
sompin' t'drink?"
The reporter could not, but slowed
up and talked to the man as they went
along together. Soon the man spied a
light ahead at a place where he knew
there was a saloon, or had been the
day before.
''Now Pm fixed" he said. ''Zere's a
friend of mine," and he started at a
more rapid pace in the direction of the
light. He rushed into the place and
found young man Strengthening the
furniture about. To the reporter it
was evident that there was no saloon
there, but TO the half intoxicated man
the sight of the bar was sufficient, and,
squaring himself, he said: ''Give me
some of your best ikker;'' and then,
whats yours, pardner?"
''Well,'' said the boy, ''our best is
pretty good, but not what you need at
present The only liquor we have is
embalming fiui1.'
An undertaking establishment was
moving in where a saloon had just dis
continued business. The man with the
appetite for drink bowed politely, and
as he edged for the door said: '''Scuse
me, but your got the wrong feller.
I'll no doubt see you later, but not
now. Ia, ta."

CONTRACT WILL WAIT AWHILE.

Observation-Disclosures CeiEar Makes
Charges Against His Partner.

A delegation of property owners from
South Meridian street appeared before the
Board of Public Works yesterday morning
to be heard upon the asphalt question.
The board desired to hear the property
owners before making any awards on the
bids submitted for asphalting that street
from South to McCarty street The bid of
the Trinidad Asphalt and Refining Com
pany, of New York, was s1.O2 a lineal foot
lower than the lowest of the other three
bids, but the company has no plant erected
here. The board was uncertain as to the
ability of the new company to do the work,
and deferred taking action upon the bids
at the time they were opened. The proper
ty owners who appeared before the board
yesterday said that they wanted good
work and wanted 1T done as cheaply as
possible. They thought the bid of the new
company ought to be accepted if the COM
pany could give a reasonable assurance
that IL could do the work according to the
specifications. Messrs. Miller and Winter
had been employed by Hugo Reid, presi-
dent OF the new company. to look after
its interests. and the attorneys insisted
that the board must accept the lowest
bid II the company gave the required as,
surance of ability to do the work. Mr.. Reid
has sent for letters from the officials OF
cities where his company has laid pave,

show the board the character of the work
done by his company. President Wildman.
of the board. says it will not award the
contract till it is ascertained whether or
not the new company is prepared TO do the
work If it were awarded the contract.
There Is a question as to whether the
Manual Training School will be completed
in time to permit the Improvement of this
section of the street this year or not. At
the time the bids were advertised for the
