EUGENE LOST HER WAGER.

Did Not Move.

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 sight not to be
forgotten, from the first entrance and as
cent by the great staircase, adorned with
flowers and shrubs, where on each step
stood two of the "eent-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 muscle. Tho
fatigue of this immobility is said to be SO
great that it could not be endured beyond
a certain time, but it was so complete that
to come suddenly on one of these guards
III the palace was positively startling. 1t
was scarcely possible to believe that they
were alive. They were all remarkably fine
men, subofficors chosen out of various regi-
ments and when the 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 a 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
manded 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
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, 'sboxed his
ears" Not muscle moved. The empress
then acknowledged that Colonel Verify had
won tho day and sent handsome COM
pensation to the soldier, who proudly re,
fused 1t, saying that he was sufficiently
compensated by having had his sovereign
lady's hand on his cheek i" Life In tho

THE E4RTH,S SHADOW.

The length of the shadow which the
earth cast into space has attracted
some attention since the eclipse of the
moon. This shadow is in the form OF
IA cone with the diameter of the earth
as its base. 1t is SG4, 900 miles long.
That is if you travelled into space
away from the earth, more than three
times far as the moon, the shadow
would still shield you from the sun
provided you remained on what may
be called the night side of the earth
The diameter of the sun is $4,000
miles, that of the earth is 1925 miles
and the distance from the sun TO the
earth is $4,000, 900 miles.

as that published from Quebec. Mon

The old story of Prometheus Is parable,
Nil allcgory Prometheus was on terms of
intimacy with the gods. From them he
stole fire. and gave it to men. For this sin
he was bound to the rocks of Mount eau
casus, and vultures were set upon him.
They only ate his liver. This grew again
as fast as it was pccked away. Are his suf
ferings to be imagined2 Yes, and realized.
Take a modern Interpretation of the par
able. There is no cooking without fire. In
cooking and eating the mischief lies. The
stomach is overtasked, the bowels become
clogged, they cannot dispose of the food
that is given them. The impurities back
I'D on the liver. Then come the vultures.
The sufferings from an outside, visible
hurt, are a mere pin-scratch to the torments
of diseased liver.
But, moderns are ahead of the ancients.
There is sequel to the old story. DR..
Pierce is the author. His Golden Med
ical Discovery" is more than equal to the
vultures of dyspepsia and its kindred dis
cases. Every atom of the Discovery" is
an active agent against disease. It flies
like a ferret, wherever it is sent. 1t is as
sure as the needle of the compass. There
is no more need of suffering from dyspepsia
than there is of hanging ones self

SIX RULES OF HEALTH.

The secret of health and long life,
says Der F0n1iJieEGTtz, lies in the fol
lowing very simple things:
/. Breathe fresh air day and night.
2. Take sufficient sleep and rest.
8. Work like man, but never over
work
4. Avoid passion and excitement.
The anger of an instant may be fatal.
5. Do not strive to take the whole
world on your shoulders-trust in
your good destiny.
6. Never despair. Lost hope is a
mortal malady.

Rainy nax petticoat. /.

1t is advisable that one should have one
petticoat to be used exclusively for walk
ing, and this may be faced some distance
from the bottom with waterproof cloth.
There will then be almost perfect proteo-
ton for the feet and ankles in wet wealth
er. 1t is the swishing of damp clothes
about the feet that constitutes most of the
discomfort of a rainy day expedition, and
the waterproof lining does away with this.

100000. He does not think it is practical
BILE to extend 18th and 10th streets across
Pney branch, and suggests that these
extensions should not be made unless Con-
gress at the same time appropriates suffl-
cient funds to throw bridges across Piney

and 10Th streets should be curved and made
in crossing Piney branch.
r. Edward Earll opposes the extension
OF Binney street from its present terminus
westward to Columbia road, and suggests
IL Huron street were widened to ninety
Feet by taking land on the north side of
the road the street would then be so near
ly continuous with Binney street as to
meet all practical needs.
j. B. Swain protests against the widen
ing of Kenesaw avenue, for the reason that
1t would entirely destroy his property.
Why They Protest.
D. G. Swain objects to the abandonment
of 18th street between Columbia road and
Kencsaw avenue. Sixteenth street extend
ed, he says, is one of the Oldest established
highways in the District, and one of the
main arteries of travel for. business and
pleasure. being one of the natural approach
es to the National Park
James v. White protests against any
change in the location of Huron street.
For twelve years he has been the owner of
a lot in the line of the proposed extension,
and while he has not been allowed to i'm
prove it with dwellings, has been made to
pay taxes. If the street is changed he
would suffer great loss.
David j. Saunders protests against the
extension of LIE Droit avenue and w street,
as such extensions would ruin his business
and home.
w. w. Burnett makes no objection to ex-
tending Connect ticut avenue and the widen
ing Of California avenue and Park street.

protest against tie proposed change IN
Sumner street. They say the street Is
largely built upon. and its abandonment
would deprive them of the only highway
to and from their homes. They protest
against the widening of the street for the
reason that 1t would destroy their homes.
AS 1t is rot intended to cut the street
through to 14th street 1t can never be more
than two squares long, and as 1t is now
about fifty feet wide no necessity. they
maintain, exists for the proposed widening
and 1t would cost lot less than $4,000 to
do the work.
Mrs. JOSEPH n. Hodgkins wants to be
heard If It is proposed to take part of her
lot at 1904 7th street.
Edward F. Bates opposes the proposed
circle at the intersection of Illinois avenue
and 18th street, as he considers such res
ervation unnecessary and a great hardship
to the property holders. If a reservation is
considered desirable at this point. small
oblong spa ce would. he says. be equally eff
fective, less expensive and not so detri-
mental to he property interests involved.
Views of Property Holders.
A. NJ. McLachlen approves the highway
extension plan as far as 1t relates to Lam
Ter Heights. He thinks, however, 1t would
have been better II 18th street had been ex-
tended due north with the city lines and a
portion or all of Champlain avenue closed
Mrs. Mary Brown enters a protest against
the proposed extension and widening of
23d street northwest at Wyoming avenue
which will wipe out lot "a and destroy for
building purposes several more lots. At
the public hearing, she says. additional
reasons will be presented against the ex-
tension.
Malcolm Hufty, as attorney for Michael
Wright, opposes the extension OF Vermont
avenue as proposed in the first plans.
Chaplin Brown, as attorney for owners,
protests against the proposed Inglesde
terrace. He bases his objection on the
facts that the Commissioners fully consid-
cred the plat of Ingleside subdivision and
after three months ordered 1t to be record
ed. If the proposed plans are carried out
the grade of the street will render all of
the property unavailable and will re-

The colored commissioners. the women's
auxiliary committee and the mems auxil-
larry committee of the Atlanta exposition
for the District of Columbia held a joint
session at the commission rooms, 600 F
street northwest, last night. The meeting
was largely attended and there was much
enthusiasm manifest in the work of the
commission. Mrs. B. K. Bruce presided
over the joint session and Mrs. Jesse c.
Lawson was the secretary. Reports were
received from the various committees
showing the number and kind of exhibits
received thus far and which will be sent to
Atlanta. 1t is believed that the exhibit
from the colored schools will be the most
elaborate display made. and 1t is probable
that this exhibit will be transmitted by the
railroads free of charge.
The committee on domestic science has
been unable thus far to secure sufficient
space for the erection of the model home
which 1t Is proposed to erect to show the
method of economic housekeeping. The
committee has decided to illustrate the
model home in the cook book which is be-
ing prepared by the women commissioners
under the direction of Mrs. l. D. Baily.
Mr.. Hill, from the art committee, re-
ported that the colored artists were pre-

Mr.. Freeman, president of the Colored

with the colored District exhibit. Mr.. Law
SON, the commissioner-in-chief, reported
that he had not been enabled to obtain any
satisfaction from the managers of the
Freedmens Hospital as to what kind of an
exhibit they would like to make. He has
about given up hope of having an exhibit
from this source.
This evening the lawn fete in aid of the
