gagements he considered himself to
have been in the greatest danger Of los

Indeed if further proof were demanded
TO show that he did not spare himself
at Toulon it is only necessary to add
that, during the 10 weeks of its siege,
Napoleon, in addition to a bayonet
wound in his thigh, had three horses
shot under him, while at the siege Of
Acre during the expedition to Egypt he
lost no fewer than four in the same
manner.
During the last days of his life, when
captivity, disappointment and sickness
had well nigh completed their work, il
is said that the agony of his fatal dis
ease drew from him on many occasions
the pitiful cry of, "Why did the cannon
balls spare me?'
During his long military career Ma
poleon fought go battles, while Caesar
fought but so. In the early part of his
career he was utterly reckless of danger
while on the battlefield, and this spirit
of fearlessness contributed largely to
the love and esteem in which he was
held by his armies There was a curious
belief among the English in Napoleon 8

A MODERN RALEIGH.
BIS Velvet Cloak Was Only n Bandanna,
but His Spirit Was Right.


but His Spirit Was Right.
It is not true that manly chivalry is
being starved out and replaced by mere
politeness in these days Some young
men seem to have grown into a resem-
blance in usefulness and strength to the
cigarettes that are ever present with
them, and many young women are
adopting the cutaway coat and the
mans necktie, but the spirit Of Sir Wal
ter Raleigh has not vanished from the
earth, and dainty womanliness doth still
inspire chivalry.
She was a fair West Philadelphian
who had Just returned from shopping
tour in the city. She carried three bun
dles-too precious to be left for deliv-
cry wagon-and a macintosh and two
boxes of candy also balanced in uncer-
tain equilibrium about her. He was a
big. plain, everyday workingman, and
his weapon was pick, with which he
waged successful war upon the cob
blestones and the dirt Of a badly mutt
lated West Philadelphia street Three
little strips of wood were supposed to
be enough at the point where she dis
mounted from the car to enable foot
passengers to cross the muddy thorough
fare, but just as she came opposite the
man little tilt Of the f1imsy pontoon
bridge sent one of her daintily sh, l
feet up to the ankle into a fine yellow
mudhole, and when she drew it out il

stoop for bundles. She stood in petri.
fed perplexity. Then the spirit of Sir
Walter Raleigh showed itself. The pick
was dropped, and the man grabbed 9
little stick and said, "Wait, miss, an
I'll clean yer shoe off," There seemed
to be nothing else to do, SO she waited.
The rest of the gang leaned on theil
picks and shovels and watched the scene

Cost of Electric Cooking.

1t has been shown by recent expert
ments that there is practically no differ
ence in cost between cooking by elec-
tricity and by coal, while the advan-
tages of the former method in point of
comfort, cleanliness and safety are con-
siderable. Of every 100 tons Of coal
burned in an ordinary cooking stove SO
tons are, it is said, practically wasted,
whereas with electricity the expense is
not so much on the fuel as on labor and
interest on machinery. y.-Invention.

Gold Lined Cups Not In It.

A tall young man, with q pretty
young woman, sauntered across Inde-
pendence square yesterday afternoon
when Old Sol was at his hottest. When
they came to the ice water fountain, the
young woman stopped and picked up
one of the tin cups, and scanning it
ruefully shook her head at her compan-
ion and laid it quickly down again.
The next thing was to slip off small
suede glove, and placing the pretty
hand it fitted under the stream she
filed its palm with water and drank
from it three times And the next thing

was to sec the young man Uendover the
same palm while he held her wrist to
balance the novel cup, and five times it
took to satisfy him, and right willingly
did the pretty young woman fill it and
place it to his lips. Both actors were
perfectly tnconcerned, and after the
young man had dried the young wom-
ans hand in his pocket handkerchief
they sauntsred in a down town direc-

A Bottle Stopper.

If you want a stopper for bottle of
acid or any substance that would natu-
rally call for glass stopper because of
the danger that the cork would be eaten
up by the contents of the bottle, take
the cork and steep it in vaseline. It
will then be impervious to acids of any
kind, and no action of chemicals will
decay it. 1t will, in fact, be as good for
all purposes as a glass stopper. New

FROM SAMOA.
A Tourist Gives His Opinion Of
Our Distant NeighbOrs.

WI 0A6SoAe AsSNS-
From a gentleman who went to
Samoa on the Alameda we have
received a few lines announcing
his arrival, and hope to receive
further advices by later mails.
AP1A, Jan. 3.-As at my depar-
ture from Honolulu, you said you
would like to hear of my arrival
and how liked Samoa, l send you
few lines by the mail that closes
today, First impressions are not
always correct.
At distance the Samoan ISL
ands look like a series of high
hills, but as you come into the bay
of Apia you can see that the hills
which rise to a height of three or
four thousand feet are covered with
dense vegetation. The entrance to
the harbor of Apia is, as you are
probably aware, through rather
narrow channel in the coral reef
which girts the island. 1t must
be an impossibility to take sail
ing ship out in the face of strong
inland gale. The most eonspicu-
Gus object noticeable in the harbor
is the hull of the German frigate
which was wrecked with so many
other vessels, in the disastrous
hurricane of 1889.
On steamers anchoring, it is
at once surrounded by a fleet of
boats. The native outriggers take
off fruits and coral for sale, whilst
the othodox four-oared boats con-
vey passengers and visitors to and
from the ship. The town of Apia
may be said to consist of one street
which encircles the bay. There
are good many hotels, the prin-
cipal being the Tivoli, the charges
at which are moderate. I must
not be too critical.
The natives seem to be a really
amiable lot of people. The men
have their bodies tatooed from
their waists to their knees. They
mostly wear the lavalava, a cloth
wound round the waist, and often
reaching the ankles. As for the
women, many of them have in
addition to the lavalava a scarf
thrown around the neck and hang
ing down around in front, thus
leaving their back and sides bare.

The chief exports are copra and
coffee. l have not yet been any
distance inland or far around the
coast, but hope soon to make an
excursion inland with horses and
guides. The heat here is certainly
very great. There are very few
whites, said to number only about
800 to 400, whilst the natives num-
Der thirty to forty thousands. The
latter are always in a chronic
state of confusion. This week
