Too Cautious.

The father of Gueau de Reverseaux had
been Il distinguished lawyer, and through
his influence he held important Offices an
der the government. When the revolution
began, he gave up his Office at La Rochelle
and retired to Charities.
From the time that the revolution began
Gueau de Reverseaux devoted his atten
ton exclusively to preserving his own safe
ty. He wrote no letters; he would receive
no letters; he saw no visitors and paid no
visits; he spoke to no person and allowed
no one to come near him. 1t would have
been impossible to be more prudent than
he was.
However, he wanted some sheds built
on his farm near Charities and ventured to
consult IL carpenter. The carpenter told
him that he could not undertake the work
Immediately, as Gueau de Reverseaux
wished, because most Of his workmen were
drafted to join the army at once.
Gueau de ReverseauX replied: 1.-The
workmen need not go. They can send sub
stitutes."
This remark was heard by the work
men, but only the first phrase made any
impression on them. They reported every
where that NJ. Gueau de Reverseaux, who
must be good authority, had said that they
need not 90. The news went to headquar
tiers that Gueau de ReverseauX declared
that the drafted workmen need not obey
the government. This was considered to
be conspiracy, and he was condemned to
DEATH He was at once taken 70 the Con
ciergerie prison, and he paid for his selfish
folly with his life.--Youth's Companion.

An occasional vestge is left of the days
when possibilities for romantic adventure
and sudden wealth were found in unearth-
ing pirates hidden treasure and discovering
hitherto unknown islands in the ocean.
There Is said to be vessel at Philadelphia
which is now being fitted out to sail to some
island in the South seas. The person who 10
chiefly interested in the expedition is an
old sailor who has lately fallen heir to a
fortune which he hopes to increase by the
discovery of a hidden treasure. The story
ia brief is that he, when young man, was
sailor on SLAYER which was wrecked. The
captain hid $4,000 of treasure in South
Sea island cave and then conveniently died.
The sailor was the only other person who
knew of the hiding place. This story was
not written by Mr.. Howells tut comes from
Indiana.

A SpOOk on the Car.

The messenger on express car No on
the run between Reno and Ogden had
rather queer experience. When the train
was passing Iron Point, in the eastern
part of the state, he heard n voice calling
him by his given name, asking, "What
was done with the corpse?" He was at
once rs though glued to the car floor, and
the package of letters he was sorting out
dropped from his hands.
Not human being was in the car but
the messenger, and in moment or two
he recovered from his establishment enough
to think that some one had struggled into
the car at the last station and began NOV
ing the trunks to find the concealed indi
vidual. He was busy moving the trunks
when, in the same voice, he heard some
one say, ooh, you might hunt till dooms-
day, but you could never discover the mys-
FERROUS individual who is addressing you. |"
The messengers hair was now standing
on end, and he was unable to even carry
his own weight, much less anything else
The trip was made from Iron Point to Re-
no without further incident, but the mes
senger says he wants no more of car No

Famous Animals.

A returning traveller from Italy tells the
story of an American fellow wanderer in
Rome. Like some other travellers tales,
it is to be taken no doubt with certain
grains of allowance.
The second American, who had come
from :he plains of the west, visited the
Vatican and was courteously shown over
the papal palace. lie asked many ques-
tions and desired to see everything.
After all the customary sights had been
shown the priest who had attended him
asked:
SIS there anything else, Signor Ameri-
can, that you would like to see?"
"There's one thing answered the
American, 'that / want to see more than
anything else, and l hain't been on the
edge of it yet
''What is that, signor?"
"The cattle pens.'
"The cattle pens? Why, we have moth
ing of the sort, signor.'
''You hahn II? Then where in the world
do you keep them papal bulls that we're
always hearin about?"-Youth Com

Cigars at Dinner.

1t is the Prince of Wales who is directly
responsible for the spread of the habit OF
smoking at the dinner table. the London
correspondent of the Sheffield Independent
declares. When he first began to dine out,
smokers were fain to wait the opportunity
of retirement to the smoking room. His
royal highness began modestly enough
with cigarette and has long ago reached
the cigar. There are still one or two houses
ia London where cigars are not produced
and more where one is put off with the in
adequate cigarette. But they are growing

SUDDEN DEATH!
The Community Shocked.

"Last evening, just after tea, while Mr..
Thomas Hartman, prominent and highly
respected citizen apparently in the best of
health and spirits, was reading a newspaper,
the sheet suddenly fell to the floor; he
placed one hand over his heart, gasped, and
sank back in his chair, evidently uncon-
scious The family were stricken with con-
sternation, and Immediately summoned a
physician. But it was too late. The old
gentleman was dead. Physicians gave heart
disease as the cause" -Holbrook Herald.
Every day the papers contain statements
similar to the above. Even youth is no de-
tense against heart disease, and the awful
rapidity with which it is claiming victims
forces upon all conviction of its prevalence.
Reader, if you have a symptom Of this
dread disease do not hesitate moment in
attending to it. Delay is always dangerous
and in heart disease too often fatal. Some
symptoms of heart disease are shortness of
breath, fiuttering, or palpitation, pain or
tenderness in left side, shoulder, or arm, ir-
regular pulse, smothering, weak or hungry
spells. fainting spells, dropsy, etc.

Swallowing q Pin.

have often looked with alarm at the
amateur and professional dressmaker, who
invariably makes pincushion of her
mouth, regardless Of possible conse-
quences. and in my ignorance i have won

in that dressmaker's throat, how should
attempt to extricate it,'
Today am wiser. If there were brisk
fire at hand, should instantly proceed to
make stiff little dumpling of flour and
water, bake it till it was quite hard, and
then give the unfortunate victim piece
about the size of small walnut to swal-
low.
The echances are that the point of the
pin would adhere to this and lose its ten
sion of the flesh Another thing to do in

to take Il stiff bread ponltice and to swal-
low quite a quantity.-London Gentleman.

People who stand on the west side ct
Main street of an evening watching the

have had their attention drawn to a cat

she been in watching the business that
she has been nearly run over by passing

her from being killed.-Hartford Courant.

A Skowhegan correspondent of the Lew

that place and South Scion, whose pay was
80 small that he was unable to
get money enough to properly feed
his horses. and the authorities were
forced to take the matter in hand! We
have no special knowledge of this case but
have little doubt that the man was sub
contractor, victim of that vicious system
which permits men to bid off large num-
Der of mail routes and then sublet them to
other men at a lower figure, putting the diff
ference into their own pockets. 1t would
certainly seem as if there should be some
way discovered to break up this wretched
way of handling the mail routes, under
which the service has been constantly de-
teriorating, at least so far as conveniences
for the travelling public are concerned.

age and ability to thoroughly renovate and
reconstruct this branch of the postal service
will deserve the thanks of the American
people.
