"You hate me pretty hard, don't
you?" said Bonaparte.
"If had three souls / would sell
them with delight to the devil for the
chance of a single shot at you''
Bonaparte looked at him for few
seconds in silence.
"Are you a good shot ?"
"At FIVE hundred yards can drop
an eagle. Do with me what would
like to do with you"
Bring him over to yonder bush, ="
said Bonaparte to one Of the sailors,
"and count your steps as you advance. :"
The sailor placed himself at the foot
of the bush with the prisoner. after
having counted fifty PAGES.
"Give him his gun, j" said Bonaparte.
The sailor. almost stupifed, looked
at the General, hesitated, but at last
obeyed. Bonaparte then said to the
bandit, "Take good aim -
Without losing a second over his
surprise, Giuseppe pointed his gun.
The scene was so rapid and so ex-
traordinary that the two companions
of the General were unable to inter-
fere. They remained there as if they
were paralyzed until the shot was
fired.
With his back against the trunk Of
an oak and his hands behind his back,
Bonaparte never budged. A few
pieces of bark fell over his clothes.
The ball lodged in the trunk few
inches over his left shoulder.
Giuseppe, almost weeping with rage,
threw his gun into the bushes.
"Let that man go' said Bonaparte.
Before disappearing the COrsician
shouted
"You may reign, but l will never
be your subject"
That same night the French feet
left Ajaccio. On the 9th of October
it reached Frejus, and one month after
ward Bonaparte celebrated the eight
eenth Brumaire.
Giuseppe Valturio kept his word.
He left Corsica and established him
self in Tunis, where he became Mus
selman. His grandson, by whom this
singular episode is related, lived at
Tabarca at the time of the occupation.

There was once ventriloquist so
poor that he was obliged to travel on
foot from town to town to save ex-
pense, much after the manner of the
gentleman Of adventure in Grimms
tales. One day he was joined on the
road by dog as forsaken as himself,
but who seemed desirous of becoming
his companion.
They journeyed together to the next
town, and entered the tavern tired,
hungry and penniless. Not being
troubled with the inconvenient refine
ment which comes from a long line Of
gentle ancestors, the man had devel-
oped the quality known as cheek, SO
he and the dog sat down 10 eat sup
per for which they could no. pay.
The room was full Of loungers, and
the stranger took a conspicuous seat.
"What will you have2" asked the only
waiter the place employed; and the
order embraced nearly everything on
the bill Of fare.
But | want something Cor my dog,
too, he added. ASK him what he
will have" The waiter muttered
something about "Whatcher giving
us, so the stranger said, "What, don't
you like TOP Well, Bruno, will you
have beef or fish -
Beef, every time" said Bruno,
looking with mild brown eyes at the
waiter.
And what to drink"
Water, thank you, said Bruno.
BY this time the landlord and every
one in the place were eager with sup
pressed wonder. and gathered about
TO hear dog talk
The ventriloquist feigned indifer-
ence by eating with avidity, while the
landlord was evidently considering
something. His cogitation resulted
in his offering the stranger three hun
dred dollars for his wonderful talking
dog.
The ventriloquist appeared to hesi-
tate moment, then said, abruptly,
"Yes, You may have him for three
hundred dollars"
When the money was paid aud the
ventriloquist was about to leave, he
turned to the dog, pstted him adec-
tionately, and said. "Good.by, old
fellow, you've been good friend TO
me.
"You are no friend of mine, re-
turned the dog, "to sell me TO another
master. As you were mean enough 10
serve me such trick, III have re-
venge. III never speak another word
as long as live.
The ventriloquist then made of
with all possible haste.

NEW VOL. BONO. %.
Although wood-pulp paper is large

Although wood-pulp paper is large
" used in making cheap books, as well
as newspapers, book publications of
more expensive grades, writing paper
and ledger paper are made from linen
rags. Most of the rags are imported,
and the cast-of clothing of millions OF
Chinese, Egyptians, Turks, Syrans
and East Indians has found its way to
the paper mills of New England to be
made into dainty writing paper, beau
tiful books and thick ledgers for pros
porous business men. As the rags are
dirty when they are received In the
paper mills, they are first thrown into
the "duster." This is a machine hav-
ing a wooden roll with iron or steel
spikes on it. This roll revolves and
the rags, caught on the spikes are
beaten against other iron spikes, which
stick ont from the sides of the ma
chine. As the well-dusted rags fall
out of the duster they fall upon a
broad belt, which carries them into
the rag room.
Women aud girls pick up each rag
as it falls on the tables and inspect it.
They cast away all but linen rags, cut
off the buttons with large knives which
are fixed in the tables and rip up the
seams. Finders keepers is the rule
in the rag room, and sometimes the
girls find valuable gems, rings and
Jewels in the rags, and instances OF
large rolls of English bank notes found
by the gnls in the pockets OF Egyptian
garments are on record. From the
rag room the rags go to the cutters
where they are sliced by machinery
into tiny bits, and then they are boiled
in lime water to remove the color.
They are then ground to a pulp and
the rags become half stock.
After being whitened by bleaching
compounds the half stock is taken to
the "beater," machine which COM
pletes the pulping process, and 1t is
then taken to the paper machine,
where the process of finishing the pa
per is similar to that used in making
wood pulp paper.

Natural History Dots.

1t is said that the flesh on the fore
quarters of the beaver resembles that
of land animals, while that on the
hindquarters has 6shy taste.
The aye-aye of Madagascar is re-
markable chiefly for its eyes, which
are larger in proportion to its size
than those of any other creature.
1t is believed by miscroscopists that
the highest powers of their instru-
ments have not yet revealed the most
minute forms of animal life
Snakes have the singular property
of being able to elevate the head and
remain without the slightest move
ment for many minutes at a time.
Voluntary muscles ale almost al
ways red involuntary muscles are
generally white, the most notable ex-
ception in the latter case being the
heart
With both the alligator and the
crocodile the tail is the most Gormida-
bic weapon. One stroke, fairly deliv-
cred, will break the legs of the strong
est man.
\ decapitated snail, kept in a moist
place, will in few weeks grow new
head, quite as serviceable and good
looking as that which was taken away.
Cats and several other animals have
false eyelid which can be drawn
over the eyeball either to cleanse it or
to protect it from too strong light.
The muscles of a pigs snout are ex-
ceedingly powerful for their size, and
thus enable the animal to turn up
very hard ground with the utmost
ease.
A bat finds its way about without
the assistance of its eyes. A blinded
bat will avoid wires and distractions
as dexterously as though it could see
perfectly.
When falling. as out Of a tree or
down steep declivity, bears will roll
themselves into a close resemblance
to huge furry ball and thus escape
without injury.
The mole is not blind, as many per-
sons suppose. It's eyes are hardly
larger than a pin head, and are care
fully protected from dust and dirt by
means Of inelosing hairs.
No parental care ever falls TO the
lot of single member Of the Insect
tribe. In general the eggs Of an IN
sect are destined to be hatcbed long
after the parents are dead.

An Obnoxious Motion.

The Kentucky Legislatures in
some respects a peculiar body, and
some Of its members as individuals are
even more peculiar, says the New York
Advertiser. IL is the custom 10 give
each member the choice OF two daily
newspapers during the session at the
expense Of the State, and they all
avail themselves of il. One old fel.
low from mountain county. new
member, when he chose, took as bis
choice the Louisville CourteT-Journoi,
which was the gospel to him. He WAS
thoroughly verdant and unversed in
parliamentary usage, and the first
morning after he had chosen his pa
per and it lay on the desk before him,
he heard some member move 10 dis
pense with the reading Of the journal,
which was part Of the regular roy.
tine Of the body. He said nothing,
but laid aside his paper. The next
day il was the same, and 80 on for six
weeks, and then forbearance ceased 10
be virtue and the member rose to
his feet.
"Mr. Speaker he said in thunder
tones, for he was hot, - rise 10 pint

satisfaction.

Dan Didn't Drink.

Somebody asked Secretary Lamont
to take drink the other day. Before
the Colonel could reply somebody else
told this story:
"That makes me think Of the last
time l heard someone give the Colonel
the same invitation. 1t was during
Cleveland's first term. The Presiden-
tial party was in st. Louis reviewing
the parade. 1t was cold, clustering
day, the sort of weather which makes
one draw himself up into the smallest
possible space. Gov. Francis, who
was doing the honors, looked at the
President standing stoically in the
face Of the wind while the parade
went by. Going to Colonel Lamont
the Governor said:
Colonel, do you eh-eh-think
it would be right to ask the President
to eh-to take drink-eh--of whls-
key? Pretty cold, you know, and it
would do him good.
"'Ask him to take drink La
mont exclaimed. Good heavens, man
Do you mean to say that you have
been with the President twenty-four
hours and haven't asked him to take
a drink
THE Governor looked somewhat
surprised, but at the same time re-
lieved, admitted his guilt, and, step
ping to the President, said
"'Mr President.
1.-THE President, turning around,
looked at him straight in the eye,
which seemed to take the sand out Of
the Governor, who, blushing and
stammering like a young man about
to propose to his sweetheart, said:
"'Eh, Mr.. President, do you know
it is very cold today-eh-I thought
that maybe, just by way of preventa-
tive, you know, that possibly you might
think it wise to take a small drink OF
whiskey?'
"'Where is it?' the President in a
very business-like manner asked.
Right this way, said Gov. Fran
els, and beckoning at the same time to
Lamont and the Mayor he led the
party to a room which contained a
table on which were four glasses halt
filled with whiskey.~ The President
looked at the glasses and said to Gov.
Francis:
"'Who are these for?
".why, one, Mr.. President, is for
YOU. one for Col. Lamont, one for the
Mayor and one for myself
THE President took up one glass
and emptied its contents into another.
Setting down the empty glass he
raised the filed one carefully to his
lips, and, looking at the liquor with
an expression of sweet anticipation,
said, just before emptying his glass
