II was customary with Napoleon TO
review his troops frequently even in

In Paris. II was the beginning of the
famous hundred days" of Napoleon.
The emperor having passed through
every rank, the regiments formed them
selves into square battalions, and were
addressed in these words: SOLDIERS,

hundred men, because | relied upon
the love OF the people and the remem-
brance OF me cherished by the veteran
troops. have not been deceived In
my expectations; l thank you soldiers.
The glory of all that is achieved is en-
tirely due TO the people and yourselves.
My only merit consists In having justly
appreciated you. We arc on the point
OF marching 70 drive from our territory
tho auxiliarles of foreign princes; the
nation will no doubt second our en-
deavors and follow our impulse. The
French people and myself rely upon
you. We will not NEEDLE with the af-
fairs OF other nations, but woe be 10
those who interfere with us II they
have six hundred thousand men we
can oppose them with two million"
During the whole OF the address,
which was somewhat extended, the en-
thusiasm of the soldiers was every.
where apparent, and at its conclusion
their expressions of appreciation were
reiterated for several minutes. just as
the review terminated, lady, very
| elegantly dressed, made her way
toward the emperor, bearing scaled

scented TO him, requesting that i

"Horsc sense" has become a byword

Shaior, mule sense" would be more
appropriate one. lie says that mule,
as is well known TO all people familiar
with the animal. has a good deal more
sense than horse.
He says that tho mule Is much the

humor he appears suilen, and lacks
those playful capers which give such
expression 70 the well-bred horse, par

ROBBED HIS FISH LINE.
A Wolf That Successfully Played rhisf

Down at Pretty Lake, Ind, old
Charley Cook used 10 10 q great Ash

used 10 know he could catch hsh

had place along the bank Of the lake
which he looked upon as his own, and
which was seldom trespassed upon by
neighbors And there he had built .
staging out into the lake and set his
lines from the end of It. Every morn
ing he used 10 come down and take the
fish that had been caught In the night.
One time, says the Chicago Herald,
he came down there and found tho
line i'm the water, but the hook was, az
he afterward expressed 81. 'as naked az
birds foot" That night no baited
the hook again and set II, and In the
morning he found II empty again
That sort Of thing went on for week.
There were no tracks in the soft sand
and he did not know whom 70 suspect
He took n fish-linc and stretched IL
about the entrance TO his staging and
attached the end of IL TO n string OF
sleigh bells, 40 that the trespasser.
whoever he might be, would ring an
announcement Of his felony.
But the fish were gone from tho hook
in the morning, and tho limo about the
entrance of the staging was Just as he
had left II. Mr.. Cook was In good
deal of trouble. But he was persist
emit man, and so he fixed up q shelter
and laid out there one night and
watched with his shotgun In his hand.
About midnight he heard noise 81
the farther end of the staging. q
splashing in the water and low
growl. He could not understand IT,
because he had been watching closely
and no man had passed. But no came
closer and saw small animal out there
above the deep watey, and II was strug
Cling with fish. Mr.. Cook put hi
gun 10 his shoulder and fred, and
small gray wolf leapcd into the water
and swan TO the shore, where he tool
another shot and finished II.

Correction OF Wrong impressions About

The icebergs are originally simple In
form-just huge hunks OF Ice They
are entitled 20 the name Of berg" or
mountain, only because they appear as
such whom floating on the fiat surface
of the open sea. When seen close TO
tho mountainous, rock-bound coast OF
Greenland, close TO where they have
been thrown Oft by the glaciers, they
look remarkably small and insignifi-
cant. Roughly speaking, they are
about "a large as house, and vary In
sire about as much as houses do To
be moro accurate, few are over one
hundred and fifty TO two hundred feet
Ia height, and icebergs reaching n
height of three hundred feet are ex-
captions.
The bergs OF northern seas are not so
broad and long as these OF the Antarctic
ocean, the latter not infrequently COW
erning n surface of over n square mile.
The former therefore look like huge
blocks, rather than the huge fragments
Of leo piateaus OF the southern polar

bergs appear TO be composed Of two OF
moro strata or layers of Ice, and arc far
clearer than their northern sisters, or
