sapo,eon and His Pine.

Napoleon was snuff taker in mild
way, smelling of the tobacco rather
than shutting it, but never learned tc
smoke. Once only, according to his
valet, Constant, he tried pipe. The at.
tempt, of which Constant gives a hui
morous account, was ON this wise:
An eastern ambassador, Persian OF
Turkish, had presented the emperor
with handsome oriental pipe, and one
day the fancy took him to use it. Con-
slant, at his masters request, got every
thing in readiness and applied the fire.
1t remained, of course, for the emperor
to SGT the tobacco alight by drawing in
his breath. So his valet told him.
But, adds Constant, at tho rate
his majesty went to work the thing
would never be done. He oontented
himself with opening and shutting his
lips without breathing the least in the
world.
Finally he put the pipe into the Wallets
hands and commanded him to light 1t,
which tho valet did and returned tho
pipe to his majesty. Napoleon took one
good puff and was as awkward this
time as before. The smoke got into his
windpipe and instead of being expelled
through the mouth it came out of the
nostrils and eyes. So Constant says at
all events.
The emperor was nearly strangled,
and rs soon as he recovered breath he
cried:
"Take it away. The horrible thingl
It makes me sick.
1t was more than an hour before he
recovered his equanimity, and that was
the end Of his career as smoker. -

Tho writers Froude liked.

"Whom do you rank as the first of
modern English prose writers?" asked
Mr.. Froude as we were strolling one aft
ernoon in Chelsea. Had Lord Tennyson
suddenly demanded to know whom l
thought to be the greatest poet of the
day l could not have been more dunn
founded. Noting my hesitation and per-
haps guessing its cause, Mr.. Froudo
quickly added "Ahl naturally thought
you would say Ruskin, who is certainly
q master of descriptive writing, at his
best exquisite. Newman, too (and Mat
thew Arnold in lesser degree), had lu-
cidity and the gift Of irony, but lacked
glow and color. To me he is always cold.
My own favorite is Charles Lamb. +"
Seeing that was greatly interested,
he went ON to point out the beauties of
Dream Children" and then quoted the
lovely passage in 1.-The New Years
Eve" beginning, "And you, my mid
night darlings, my Folios. That, he
said, was the high water mark of modern
English prose, equal to anything of the
seventeenth century, "the English as
pure and beautiful as that of the liturgy
itself
Mr.. Froude was great admirer of
Bret Harte. "Tennessee's Partner" and
"The Luck of Roaring Camp" he used
to declare were of the immortals. When
once said feared that Mr.. Bret Harte
was no longer the fashion, Froude mere
ly replied. $50 much the worse for the
fashion" In this appreciation Of the
American story teller as well as in his
affection for Charles Lamb and his re-
spect for Mr.. Chamberlain, we see that

yention. National Review.

The little son of we'll known ply
sioian was entertaining O playmate at
his fathers house. AS children will,
they ransacked every nook and corner Of
the building. Their curiosity led them
to explore the reoesses Of closet, in
which the doctor keeps his instruments
and other personal effects. among which
is complete skeleton. The strange boy
was frightened when he first beheld the
grinning remnant Of what once had been
q human being and started to run away.
The DOCTORS son, however, had seen the
skeleton SO often that no entertained for
1t only that feeling of contempt begot-
ten by familiarity, and in little while
succeeded in 30 allaying the fears of his
companion that the youngster began to
handle the thing and rattle its dry bones.

Electric Shocks.

Hero are some odd opinions concern
ing the force of the electric current
given by DR.. O. f. Chandler before the
Columbian School Of Mines: "An inter-
esting misapprehension which exists in
the minds Of many people is one con-
corning the vital dangers which Turk in
tho pressure Of, say, 1000 volts. Tho
newspapers often tell Of q man who has
been killed from such a pressure,
whereas, in fact, such pressure alone
could not kill humming bird. have
frequently caught in my hand sparks
possessing an electro motive power Of
100, 900 volts without feeling anything
more than very slight burn. The dan
ger arises only when the volts are re-
enforced by good many ampheres or
currents. In such case tho force Of the
current suddenly decomposes all the
fluids in the body. The salt in the blood
instantly turns to chlorine gas, and the
person who has his veins charged with
such a deadly poison cannot be expected
to live many seconds. ST. Louis Re-

The Middle Temples Secret.

While making some alterations in
Middle Temple hall for the installation
of the electric light into that stately
edifice the workmen found box con-
cealed in recess Of the wall near the
roof. It was opened, and in it they saw
a skeleton in perfect state Of preserva-
ton. From the appearance of the bones
it must have lain hidden there for con-
siderable time-perhaps couple of CEN
turtles or more. Whether the skeleton be
that of lawyer or client cannot now
be ascertained, or it may even be an os-
seous framework which has been used
in an atomical demonstration to illus
trate how much the law can take out OF
q man. What the skeleton was in life
and how it got into tho box in Middle
Temple hall are mysteries. London

eRoNzEs OF OLD BABYLON.
Casts of Figures Made Four Thousand
Years Ago.

1earS ago.
There have been placed on exhibition
in the Babylonian room of the British
museum some very fine specimens of
Babylonian bronze castings. These in
teresting specimens Of early metal work
come from place known to the an
clients as Sir-pur-ra, or Lagash, the
modern name of which is Tell-lo,
large mound or site in southern Chal-
dea. One Of the bronzes shows the king
Of Babylonia, who appears clean shay
en-, in the dress of the high priest. The
garment reaches down to the feet and
is crossed over the left shoulder, leav-
ing the right arm, which is raised, bare.
The statuette is full length one, stand
ing on its own double plinth, and is
some 12 inches high. This bronze comes
from Abu aabbab and dates about B.
G. 1900. A second statuette represents
king in the attitude Of alteration or
contemplation, having his hands raised
and clasped together in similar man
ner as the god Nebo is represented. The
king wears long, flowing beard, but
no costume can be traced. This figure is
hOV AOtA AOA6OAl OOAhE3 Ouu OAl aOOQu OllO
calves, and represents probably the
Chaldean king, Gudea, B. O. $500.
The third figure, which stands seven
inches high, represents Camil-Sin, king
of Babylonia, in the character of basket
bearer, both arms being uplifted and
supporting basket borne ON the head.
The date of the figure is about B. G.
5000. Itiss supposed that these statuettes
may have been dedications to Ningirsu,
the fire god, whose worship was par
ticular cult at Tell-lo.
The art of making bronze casts was
known to the Babylonians from very
early times, and many examples are to
be seen in the British museum as we'll
as in the Louvre. A plaster cast of
Babylonian queen. taken from the orig
inal in the Louvre, stands by the side
of the new additions, casts of which
have been sent to the French museum.
