ia not good politics to draw the line on

The main consideration with the
people of the counties should be to

THE STARS WILL BE IN THE SAME PO-
sITIoN AS AT THE CRUCIFIXIoN.
Astronomers and those who delight
in observations of the heavenly bodies
are deeply interested this year in a
most interesting and extraordinary
phenomenon. The heavenly bodies,
which own the sun as a center and
gravitate around that great luminary,
will, on Good Friday, April 18th, be in
exactly the same position they oceu-
pied in the armament the day Christ
died on the cross, for the first time
since that day. 1862 years ago.
The hour of Ago o'clock A. M Paris
time, on Good Friday, corresponding
to the sixth hour of reckoning time at
Jerusalem in the days of Christ, as
tronomerss say will witness the planets
and stars in the same relation to the
sun that they occupied at the hour OF
the CrucifiXion, as then observed by
the eager astrologers of that day.
Arrangements have been made by
all the principal universities of Europe
for observations of this fact, which
gives such deep religious Significance
to this year, and discussions upon the
results of these observations will doubt
less engage the attention of the stu
dents of astronomy for some time to
come.

NAPOLEON SAT- IN THIS CHAIR.
of curios But most Of all he prizes
this chair, as to the genuineness Of
which he was satisfied by Bernard
Franck the well known French expert
on all matters pertaining to the late
empire.
AS far as can be learned it was the
chair which graced the Chateau St.
Cloud, or that was at Compiegne. AS
the story runs it was taken away dur
ing the Franco-P russian war, just be-
fore the appearance of the Prussians
by a patriotic Frenchman, who was de-
termined that the chair in which the
emperor had seated himself should
never be desecrated by'falling into the
hands of the foes of France. To in
sure its safety he stored 1t away in the
cellar of his house, and in the conse-
quent turmoil and excitement he for
got all about it.
1t was not until after his death, a
few years ago, that his relatives, in
searching the house, found the chair.
Hidden away among what might be
termed rubbish for nearly a quarter Of
century, it was badly eaten
and otherwise soiled; but the family
made inquiries, learned the value Of
the discovery, and, having no use for
a throne Of their own, sold 1t to a
dealer in antiquities for nice little
sum. The dealer had it reproduced
faithfully, put it in his store, and there
1t was when Mr. de Young found it.
ANY one who has noticed the two
handsome chairs which are at the en-
trance to the winter garden in the Ho-
tel Waldorf will hardly need descrip-
ton of Mr.. de Young's treasure, says
I the New York Herald. They are re-
productions Of the chair used by the
emperor at Fontainbleau. This is SIM
liar in all respects, save that the front
supports are of plain carved wood, in
stead of taking the form of caryatides.
1t stands about three and one-half
feet high, the framework being Of
carved oak, with heavy gliding, after
the fashion of the day. The back shows
a circular wreath of oak leaves in the
wood, being about two feet in diameter,
The center is upholstered in rich Grim
son velvet, handsomely embroidered
with heavy gold thread, with big N
standing out in prominent relief The
seat is of the same crimson velvet, with
gold thread embroidery, and on each
side, on top of the arm posts, is a
heavy globe of satin wood, on which
probably Napoleon often rested his
hands while listening to the artful flat
terry of his courtiers. On the wood of
the seat, at the back of the chair, is
engraved the name of the maker, which
I is taken as strong proof of the chairs
genuirsness. Mr.. de Young, however,

Jack Dempseys death affords new IL
Illustration of the fact that athletlcism,
in whatever branch, is not healthful eX-
ercise. The greater part of Dempsey S
life, since reaching adult years, has
been spent in training" He has been
free. to very great extent from the ex-
cesses to which the ordinary follower
of his calling is addicted. His physique,
specifically judged, was magnificent.
Yet at the age Of "a he dies Of consump-
ton, which was contracted and devel-
Oped despite his incessant effort to keep
his body in the most perfect condition.
The history of the professional ath-
letics furnishes dozens Of parallels to
this case. The science Of training is
absurd. Splendid athletes are trained
to death. They neither exercise nor
eat naturall.'. In recent article it
was said that Japanese wrestlers pay
no attention to their eating further
than to eat what they want and what
they like. Japanese coolies live on rice
and the simplest diet. No men on earth
have such endurance as these beasts
of burden. Jack Dempseys death in
dicates that moderate exercise and tenn
perate eating, with reasonable care Of
the body would be more effective than
the present method of training.

Unexpectedly ripe for revolt and from
the feeble beginnings inaugurated by
half a dozen little bands of marauders
scattered in the mountains, the move
ment has spread until it embraces
considerable part of the island and is
taxing the military and financial re-
sources Of Spain to the very utmost.
To the world at large the ultimate is
sue of the conflict is matter Of indif-
ference. Undoubtedly Spain has mis-
ruled Cuba as badly as she could. But
there is no reason to believe that the
Cubans themselves would improve mat
ters. Our grandfathers went into rap
lures over Simon Bolivar and viewed
with enthusiasm the creation of the
various South American republics. We
who have seen what these republics are
like find ourselves more skeptical.--
