Bombard the Bank.

Did you ever hear of the naval Yankee
who threatened to lombard the Casino
at Monico?'
"Neverr'
"He was the captain of a trading ship
intrusted with 10000 francs. Putting in
accidentally to Monaco, he thought he
would visit the gambling rooms. Allured
by the horrible fascination, he ventured
q small stake. Like all beginners he
won coup after COUP until the turn Of the
tide. He carried the precious notes in
his pocket, and, his own money exhausted,
was tempted to borrow from the sacred
trust. In few nightmare hours he found
himself a penniless, ruined and dishonored
man. But the old boy didn't take long to
make up his mind. Broad and burly, he
presented himself to the administration
and explained the awful state of the case.
Naturally, they refused to refund the
money Then the mariner grew terrible
in his despair. Under these circum-
stances, gentlemen he said, life is value
less. I shall go back to the boat and if
/ don't receive 10000 francs within half
an hour, shall blow out my brains; but
before sending in my check I'll have the
satisfaction of bombarding your con-
founded Casino. I take my oath to that.
Good morning!
HE was soon busy loading, aiming and
placing his solitary cannon, but in some
thing under twenty minutes the vessel
was hailed by trim employe from head
quarters. Captain said the visitor, po-
litely, your preparations will be unneces-
sary; you can unload Here are your

Startling Experience of a Young Lady in q
Boston Street.

Startling Experience of n Young Lady I'm q
Boston Street.
Two young ladies who were walking
up Beacon street in the morning had
passed the Puritan club and were saun-
tering along the north side of the street
when one of them fancied she smelled
burning grass. How like spring that
smell of smoke ISL she said; they must
be sweeping up the common and burning
the grass Presently Whit of smoke
came into her face. Dear mew she said,
do you see them burning grass on the
Common anywhere? 1t must be very
near" Her companion kept her eyes
fixed on the Common.
Just then an express wagon came
whirling up alongside. The driver looked
at them and hauled up Young lady!"
he exclaimed to the first of the two,
do you know that your hat is all on
fre!' At that moment she became quite
aware of it, for the fire laid hold of her
hair. She had the presence of mind to
snatch off her hat and get out of reach in
an instant and also put out the fire in
her hair. 1t was narrow escape from
a serious matter.
conjecture is that some one threw a
lighted cigarette or burning match out
of the clubhouse window and that it fell
upon the young lady's hat, igniting the
straw; but that is, of course, a con
lecture The hour, was one at which
there are ordinarily none but servants
in the clubhouse, so that none of the
young gentlemen of the Puritan club
are in the least likely to be chargeable
with the carelessness. And of course
the burning article might have come
from the window of some private house.
From window somewhere it must have
come, for straw hats are not known to
be subject to spontaneous combustion.
The incident ought to warn people to be
very careful about throwing matches or
other lighted things out of windows

Where They Live Long.

At a recent gathering Of old folk at
Barwick- in Elmet some rather remarka-
BILE facts were disclosed as regards the
longevity of the residents of this village.
The population Of the place is under 800
souls, 90 of whom are over 60 years of
age. The age of half this number ex-
ceeds 70 years and the aggregate of the
ages of these residents is 1881 years,
which gives an average Of IS years each.
No doubt the longevity of the inhabitants
is due to the healthy sanitary conditions
of the village, or to the quiet serenity of
everyday life which pertains to Barwick
probably both considerations are factors
in the case but the figures given furnish
a remarkable record, and we question
whether they can be exceeded by any vii
lage in the county.-Leeds Mercury.

benefits in the matter of nutritious food

benefits in the matter of nutritious food
versus medicine.
Housewives do not always realize that
they have a prominent part to play IN
this grave question of the day, the dis
posal of garbage" That responsibility
lies within the domestic threshold, and to
consign the collection of waste to the
scavenger is not the limit of her power
nor a self-satisfying conclusion. What
she consigns does not concern her, and
this 'bete noir" found in every part of
the land, subject fraught with almost
insurmountable difficulties to those whose
business it is to find healthful and quick
disposal of garbage is far more the bust
ness of the housekeeper than she is will
ing to acknowledge. We must go back
of the garbage can to find the cause.
American extravaganza is tproyerblal the
world over. We provide with a lavish
hand. Unskilled and Indifferent help
waste accordingly. Expenditure for food
in large percentage of the middle and
lower classes is estimated to take very
often fully three-fourths of the income.
Actual consumption and benefit derived
from quantity supplied is notably small in
the Weather families.
Convincing proof is found in the over
flowing garbage can. Lack of robustness
among a certain class and the amount of
debility affecting majority OF people,
prove to investigators want OF proper
nutriment to build up the overweight
body, which must endure somehow the
strain and stress of American life and
climate.
The unintelligent methods of poor serv-
ants, unskilled in handling food, is one
cause of the effect. 1t is considered their
prerogative to waste what does not suit
their fancy. "Leavings,' which may be
the best portions from the mistresses' TIA
BILE, are not palatable to their taste, and
so a good material is speedily hidden from
sight, more is called for, and a haphazard
supply to keep Bridget good-natured fur
nishes her with an abundance to overflow
ash cans clog pipes, choke traps, fill cess
pools, draw vermin and offer culture as
medium for the ubiquitous microbe. Nox-
ious odors offend the nostrils and danger
Gus effiuvia jeopardize the health and OBJ
struct sanitary measures.
1t is just this waste in the world that
has been the cause of plaques, pestilences
and diseases. 1t is wasted time, wasted
strength, money, happiness and, too often,
life.-Baltimore American.

An Old Remedy.

A widely-quoted remedy for the relief
of appendicitis, this old disease with the
new name, is sweet oil taken internally,
from one to two ounces administered
every three hours till the pain and fever
should be kept in bed and hot poultices
applied over the seat of pain. It is said
that this trouble is not infrequently ex-
perienced and recovered from, and the
sufferer never knows it. Of course, if
the Inflammation lasted long and spread
it's character would declare itself; but ma

she finds the bit of foreign body, which

FRENCH THRIFT.
Children Taught I'm Schools 10 Save Their
Pennies-Basis of Prosperity.

Children Taught in Schools 20 Save Their
Pennies-Basis of Prosperity,
The French suffer less from panics and
depressions than any other people on the
globe, and it is because thrift is the basis
of their prosperity.
something for a rainy day. The habit is
almost universal, and those who earn the
least are sure to be found in this great
saving class. The French savings banks
have more than 100000 depositors and
their deposits amount to about $780,
100000, and this large sum is made up
of small sums.
The French schools teach the children
to save money. and the most frequent
prize given to bright pupil is a savings
bank book with a small sum to the credit
of the owner. This is given where in
this country we would give medal or a
book.
deposited in savings banks it is easy to
borrow money without going to outside
capitalists. The local banks are pre-
pared to loan to home people at mOder-
ate interest. In the large cities and fac
tory towns of the Eastern states the saw
ings banks are the great safeguards of
the poor wage-earners against hard times,
and if the saving habit was as general
here as it is in France. our people would
have passed through the recent financial
depression without seriously feeling it.
Every child should be taught the inn
portnace of saving without being avari-
cious and niggardly. We need more
thrift. The average American wage-earn-
er wastes enough in his lifetime to make
him comfortable in his old age. We
should take lesson from the French in
this respect They know how to enjoy
life and at the same time work hard and
save mOney.-Atlanta Constitution.

Mans Weakness.

ITS it weak in a man to shed tears 2"
Sooner mayest thou trust thy purse
to professional pickpocket than give
loyal friendship to the man who boasts
Of eyes to which the heart never mounts
in dew. Only when man weeps he
should be alone-not because tears are
weak. but because they should be
sacred. "-Bulwer Lytton.
Tears spring from no weak and wom-
an source but flow from the loftiest
fountain of emotion. Tears benefit a
warrior when his troops desert him
patriot when his countrymen rush to
their doom-a father when his children
rebel against his love."-Lytton.
There is a sacredness in tears. They
are messengers of overwhelming grief,
of deep contrition and Of unspeakable
love. ''-Washington Irving.

A BARONESS SHOT RUDOLPH.
Secret of the Death of the Austrian Crown
Prince Revealed.

Just before his death in the asylum on
Wards island at New York, Johann
Tranquilini revealed the secret history
of the Grown Prince Rudolph's death at
Meyerling, January 80, $780, Johann
Tranquilini, while he was no more than
a humble fuker-kutscher, or the driver
of a fiacre. was the intimate friend and
boon companion of Rudolph. For years
all the royal frolics were familiar to
him. He it was who drove the crown
prince on all unheralded excursions.
Tranquilini gained for himself place
in the worlds history when he drove the
crown prince to Meyerling the night of
Rudolph's death. When the rumors of
the tragedy were whispered stealthily
from mouth to ear in Vienna he left and
came to New York. He seemed liber-
ally provided with money and for a time
lived in lavish extravaganza among the
Austrians in that city. His claim was
that the prince was attacked by Baron
ess Vassera, who was in love with him.
She then turned a revolver upon herself
and expired almost instantly. A count.
who was her relntive, then dealt the
prince a mortal blow on his temple.
