Boxed the Ears of a Royal Guard, but He
Did Not Move.
Nothing could be more magnificent than
the appearance Of everything appertaining
to the court on all public occasions. The
balls, especially in the various splendid
rooms particularly in the immense "Salle
DIES Marechaux," were a sight not to he
forgotten, from the first entrance and as
cent by tho great staircase, adorned with
flowers and shrubs, where on each step
stood two of the "Cent-gardes' (the en-
peror's bodyguard) as motionless as stat
ues. Nothing was more remarkable than
the drill which enabled these men, On all
occasions when on duty at the palace, to
remain without moving a muscle. Tho
fatigue of this immobility is said to be SO
great that it could not be endured beyond
n certain time, but it was so complete that
to come suddenly on one of these guards
in the palace WAS positively startling. 1t
was scarcely possible to believe that they
were alive. They were all remarkably fine
men, suboflicers chosen out of various regi-
ments, ana when tho war came they proved
that they were not merely parade soldiers,
for they figured among the best and bray
est troops.
One day the little prince, when a young
child, in the hope of making the sentinel
move, poured whole bag of sweets into
his boot but without eliciting any sign of
life from the military statue before him.
This play of the child being mentioned in
the presence Of Colonel Verify, who COM
mandod the regiment, he declared that
nothing could make one of his men move
when on duty. The empress would not
believe this assertion and finally laid "A
wager that she would contrive to make
one of the guards move Colonel Verify
having accepted the wager the empress
went with him into the neighboring gal
lery, where they walked backward and
forward before the sentinel, the empress
trying by every means to attract his atten-
ton. The guard stood as if turned into
stone Colonel Verify smiled. The en-
press, with her characteristic impetuosity,
then went straight up to the soldier, and,
according to familiar speech, "boXed his
ears" Not muscle moved. The empress
then acknowledged that Colonel Verify had
won the day and sent handsome com
pensatiOn to the soldier, who proudly re-
fused it, saying that he was sufficiently
compensated by having had his sovereign

The search after ancestors inaugurated
by the Daughters of the Revolution and
Colonial Danes has developed strange re-
lationships. A very high and mighty per
sonagc, in tracing out the various descend
ants of a famous Revolutionary general,
whose collateral descendant she was proud
to declare herself, found that the direct
descent ended in poor charwoman whom
she had been in the habit of employing by
the day. 1t was lucky find for the latter,
for her large hearted and generous connoc-
ton, exemplifying the old adage that
blood is thicker than water, proved YER
table Lady Bountiful to the family. She
educated the children, found promising
opening for the son and pensioned off her
poor relation, whom the many reverses Of
health and fortune had quite broken down.
1t was a great good to arise from what
many deem "a useless fad.

transmission of character, she has changed

short space of eight hours had dispatched
a wonderfully constructed watch to the

THE EVILS OF OVEREATING.
Unless Neutralized by Exercise High Feed.
ing Is Extremely Harmful.


ing Is Extremely Harmful.
l assert that it is the duty of the good
housewife to keep down the appetite of
her husband, writes the Rev. +. S. Root
in The Ladies' Home Journal. Particular
ly is this necessary in the cases of well to
DO professional and business men. In the
families of mechanics earning low wages
such warning is almost wholly unneces-
sary but it may be said of most men in
good circumstances that they eat too freely
of rich food. If men would begin careful
and systematic physical culture in early
youth and continue the practice through
life, good health would be the result.
Beyond the age of 40-at period when
so many are physically lazy-the superior
value of exercise is apparent, but ordina-
rily this is just the time when the hygiene
of athletics is neglected. There is no rea-
son why a punching bag, rowing machine,
pulley weights and other apparatus should
be RELOCATED TO college boys and clerks.
But, having done good deal of work in
his time, it is almost impossible to per-
suade "a business or professional man turn
ing 80 to give any sort of attention to
physical culture if such training has been
previously neglected.
Hence l say it is the duty of a woman
to keep from her husband all rich COM
pounds that will ultimately ruin his diges-
ton. High feeding is occasionally neu-
tralizod by hard exercise, but in the alb
sence of the latter it is mischievous in tho
extreme. If your husband will stand the
treatment, begin by switching off from
the heavy breakfast of steak, hot rolls, po-
tatoes, etc, and set before him eggs on
toast, oatmeal and coffee.

A Wonderful Task.

Jules Curzon, Polish mechanic, who
was presented with gold medal for his
inventions, performed n most extraordi-
nary thing when he succeeded in manufac-
turing complete watch in the space of
eight hours and from materials on which
any other matchmaker would have looked
eontemptuously. 1t appears that the car
of Russia, hearing of the marvellous in
ventiye genius of Curzon, determined to
put him to the test and forwarded him a
box containing a few copper nails, some
wood clippings, piece of broken glass, an
old cracked china cup, some wire and a
few cribbage board pegs, with request
that he should transform them into
timepiece.

MY BIRTHDAY.

For bygone years do not grieve,
Nor do 1 wish them back again.
The past, its tolls and tears, leave
And live anew for God and men.
Some lessons of the past I've learned.
And'now the future l explore.
A larger, truer life discerned
Is dawning on me more and more.
November snow is falling fast
On dying fields and fading flowers.
Thus nature hides the joys now past
And leads me to her thoughtful hours
She wins me to a nobler life,
A life with fuller, richer joy,
A peace that stills all inner strife,
A happiness without alloy.

When SORROWS come, look up through
tears,
For this 1 know, that God is just

"And Duke had to make 'em good; had
to cash every button mold of 'em. 1t broke

him if he'd renigged. There the game

than we do about supposed fiery lakes in

there are bypaths in every branch of
