They Were Acquainted.

Id Some years after Napoleon LII. was
seated on the throne Of France, an
American gentl e1nan was introduced at
court, and after the emperor had
greeted him the visitor began to talk
3 IN q very familiar way. At first Ma
poleon was amused. then annoyed.
pardon me- he said, coldly, you
talk as if we were old friends. Not
friends, perhaps; but certainly ac-
quaintances, . replied the American,
sssince we were on the London police
force together. The emperor frowned
for an instant, and then laughed heart
fly and shook hands with his old COM ON
rade, who had recalled the time when
Louis Napoleon, then an exile IN Eng
land, had volunteered as q special con-
stable to repress some local riots in
London. Ys#..s.

The national cap has 4 soft velvet
crown, SURF unded BY . broad band of
sable Of Of otter; it is always a fashion
and lasts forever People who are fond
of variety buy each year q new cap,
made OF black Persian lambskin, which
resembles il shape that worn BY the
kzaxs, though the shape is modified
every year by the thrifty shopkeeper.
The furs and the Russians sensible
manner of dressing ii general have
much to do with their comfort and
freedom from colds. Few Russians
wear fannels of any sort Linen under
clothing and the thinnest Of gowns are
sufficient il. the delightfully."- heated
houses, and at the theaters ard other
places of public entertainment any
thing more would be intoleraEl lie, writes
Isabel E. Hapgood in Lippinc colts Mag
azine. No Russian enters a room,
theater or p,1blic ball at any season Of
the year with his cloak and over
shoes, and no well-trained servant
would allow an ignorant foreigner to
trife with his health by SO doing.
Even the foreign churches are provided
with cloakrooms and attendants. And
the Russian churches? On grand oc-
casions, when space is rallied off for Of
fcials or favored guests, cloak racks
and attendants are provided near the
door for the privileged ones, who must
display their uniforms and gowns as a
matter Of state etiquette. The women
find the light shawl which they wear
under their fur to preserve their gowns
from hairs, to shield the chest and for
precisely such emergencies sufficient
protection. On ordinary occasions peo-
pie who do not keep lackey to hold
their cloaks just inside the entrance
have an opportunity to practice Rus
sian endurance, and unless the crowd
is very dense the large and lofty space
renders it quite possible, though the
churches are heated, to retain the fur
cloak; but it is not healthy, and not al
ways comfortable. It would not be
possible to provide cloakrooms and
attendants for the thousands upon
thousands who attend church service
Sundays and holidays With the for
eign churches, whose attendance is COM
paratively limited, it is different mat
ter.
Moscow, by the way, is the place to
see the coats intended for really cold
weather journeys, made of bearskin
and of reindeer skin, impervious to
cold, lined with downy Siberian rat or
other skins one does not see in St.
Petersburg shops.

S One of the strongest things insrecent
science has % do with the vaccine
ton d OF land, says the Rochester q ines.
Everyone knows that it enriches, in
stead 81 impo hing, q field TO plant
It occasionally with q legnminous crop,
such as clover Or lucerne, the roots OF
which have power Of absorbing md
retaining more nitrog EN- than they take;
from the ground But where the nitro
gen comes from is another matter. The
air suggested itself al once when people
began to study the prob lena, and Messrs.
Lawes and Gilbert, among others,
spent many months IN frnitless en-
beavers to trace the source to the air,
coming at last to a negative conclusion.
The discovery was ever tually made by
.Rerren Hellriegel and Willfarth, OF
Germany, that the absorption was due
to minute organisms "a sort Of disease)
Id the roots, " hich, when the supply Of
nitrogen in the soil began to fail, APP
peared in the form of small excres-
cences, drew nitrogen from the air
and SO caused the enrichment. When
this had once been settled it became a
matter Of Importance to foster, and, if
possible, hasten the growth of the dis
ease in the fields sown with legumin-
ousae, and extensive experiments have
been made during the last few years in
France and Germany with this object
Fields have been literally ''vaccinated"
by spiking over them soil in which
tuberculous crops have grown, or even
water in which they have been soaked.
In 1890 a tract of old peatv land was
sown with clover and vaccinated with
about one and a-half tons to the acre of
an old clover field. Scarcely any other
manure at all was used. A more con-
vincing experiment. still was performed
III Prussia, where a large field was
sown with lupins and divided, one part
being treated in the ordinary fashion,
the other inoculated from an old lupin
crop. The yield in the latter part was
five and a-half times as great as in that
under the normal treatment. A re-
markable point in these operations is
that each variety of the leguminousae
has it's characteristic microbe, and that
it is no use inoculating q field of clover,
for instance, with lncerne, or OF lupin
with clover

q STRANGE INSTRUMENT.

Invented by Musical Genius for the
Amusement of the French Court.
During the reign Of Louis XI. Of
France there was attached to his court
one Abbot de Baigne, a man OF consid-
cradle wit. The abbot was somewhat
unsteady inclined, and delighted the
court with inventions of odd musical in
struments, says Harper's Young Peo-
pie. One day the king, after having
enjoyed a hearty laugh over one Of
these curious contrivances, and desir-
ing to battle this musical genius, com
manded him to produce harmonious
sounds from the cries of hogs This
seemed an impossibllity to the king, and
he prepared himself to enjoy the dis
comfiture of the abbot. Much to his
surprise, however, the abbot readily
agreed to produce them. All he re-
quired was a sum of money, upon the
receipt of which he declared he would
invent the most surprising thing that
was ever heard.
He secured the country and secured a
large quantity of hogs, trying their
voices as to pitch and quality, and
finally, having fully satisfied himself,
he arranged the animals in a sort of
pavilion richly decorated. The day Of
the trial arrived, and the king and his
court entered the pavilion, prepared for
something, but greatly in doubt as to
the success of the abbot with the hogs.
However, there were the hogs, sure
enough, and much to the surprise and
delight of the king they commenced to
cry harmoniously and in good tune,
rendering an air that was fully recog-
nized.
The abbot had arranged a series OF
stops that were connected with the
hogs, and upon pulling one Of them out
caused spike to prick the hog it con-
nected with, making him squeal his
note. The rest was easy, for pulling
out the different stops he produced the
tune. The king and all his attendants
were highly delighted with it. H.

PRAYER FOR THE HOUR OF DEATH

/. - 100 4 Z
When the hours Of life are:reck oned,
And the awful one draws nigh, s.s
When my trembling soul is summoned
To the Judgment seat on high.
All! in that most dreaded moment.
AS the world fades from my sight,
Aud the tn 1ughts of sins unnumberei,
Doth my sensere'en alright.
Oh! be near unto me, Jesus!
Dear, wounded God of love,
Whisper of thy tender mercies,
Breathe the bliss of Heaven above.
Hover round sweet Virgin Mother,
And, unseen OF mortal eye,
Fold me close upon thy bosom,
As the anguished hour draws nigh.
Whisper to Thy Son. whose justice
VIII my trembling soul soon claim,
AZ an outcast from His presence,
Or glory to His name.
Whisper to that Heart, once broken,
For the love it bore 60 me,
That never have forgotten
All it's fearful agony.
That although my sins were countless.
Aud my life with folly wreathed,
Der His CORY Wounds. 80 precious.
Were oil my signs, e'er breathed.
How sought to soothe the anguish
OF His suffering by my tears,
And His hours of desOlation
BY the vigil of my prayers.
There within His side all pierced,
Ihave hidden every grief;
Oft His cross in fervor clasplng,
Where In death seek relief.
On my heart and lips oh place 1t,
Adjust as a dying prayer.
His wounds plead, where / dare not,
In Judgments presence there.
The world with all its vain parade,
Its pride of life and power
It's Turing smiles, deceitful joys.
All mock me in this hour.
All but my tear.stained crucifix,
With memories tender, sweet,
OF thoughts of love oft breathsd thereon.
At nay dear Jesus feet.
Naught but Its pictured woe can soothe,
In this hour of grief and pain:
Oh! place it on E1y heart and lips,
AS it pleads for me again.
