A HANDSOFE PRESENT.

One OF the handsomest presents Civ
en- yesterday was that bestowed upon
Fire Chief Frank Healy by the mem
bers of the department. The affair
took place at the Atlantic. about half
pest nine o'clock. Representatives of
all the companies assembled there. to
the number of about twenty. and then

alarm, which brought The Chief from
his home on the jump. As he broke
into the house he was confronted by the
men. and Henry Frohme. of the Eighth
ward engine company. caught the head
OF the department with his eagle eve
and then paralyzed him by presenting
him with two karat diamond stud
which cost $175. When the Chief came
to he made a feeling and fitting re-
sponse and then everybody shook
hands with everybody else and felt de-
cidedly better. The diamond is a par
ticularly fine stone, and was purchased
at Dillon, Wheat & Hancher's by q
committee Of the men.

The Academy of Forty.

"The Academy of Forty is the am
bilious title of new society of women
formed in Washington. Its president
and moving spirit announces that the
organization is not intended to rival the
French immortals, but is more after the
order of the old fashioned debating So
ciety, but with modern improvements
that rather lift it above the range OF the
old societies. Its meetings are to be con-
yersations at which various questions
will be discussed under the critical in
spection of competent corps OF judges,
which will be known as the committee
of censors. Criticism will be passed up
on the pronunciation, grammar and Ian
suage of the participants While the
organization by name is limited in num-
bers, there is provision from honorary
membership to which gentlemen and
members outside the Wimodaughsis, OF
which society it is an outgrowth, may
be admitted, so that the society is prac-
tically unlimited New York Sun.

the real professional thing, for my lady
has been massaged so much she knows
all about how it ought to be done. Then
I've had to become a good chiropodist
and to learn enough about physical cul-

Mrs. --, because it bores her to do it
alone. In the meanwhile my salary is

How She Fixed Him.

He was theatric lover, and she didn't
like his style little bit.
He was constant in his devotion, how
ever, and that made matters worse.
She had tried gentle means to get rid
of him, but he had disregarded them
with painful persistency.
In this moment Of her desperation he
felt it incumbent upon him to propose
to her, as men under similar circum-
stances SO often do.
Which they wouldn't if they had any
sense at all.
Dear one," he exclaimed, hurting
himself tragically at her feet, II love
you. My life is yours. Will you take it?'
She did not look like murderess.
"Mr. Singleton she responded, with
calm determination, II will"
He gazed at her rapturously.
Don't do that" she begged, draw
ing back from him as if in horror. II
have taken your life, as you requested
me to do, and you are henceforth to all
intents and purposes dead -
He seemed dazed.
II do not, Mr.. Singleton, she con-
tinued, turning aside, "desire to have
a dead person in the house, and if you
do not go away at once shall ring for

his own precipitate folly had placed
him was revealed, and he removed him.

Keeping Out of Debt.

The woman who expects to enjoy
prosperity, self respect, peace OF mind,
the esteem of her friends and the good
will of her tradesmen must flee from
debt as she would from the plague. The
woman to whom these things are mat.
tiers of indifference, who doesn't care
about the worlds opinions or her cred
itors', must avoid debt also, for the rea-
son that duns have SO many ways OF
making life unpleasant. An account
book aids the woman who is struggling
to escape debt, because it enables her to
keep track of her expenses and to stop
spending when she is reaching her lil.it
A savings bank account is another way
of escaping debt. The woman who is
saving money generally takes such a
pride in watching her little hoard grow
that she is able to deny herself many
costly luxuries for the pleasure she takes
in saving And denying oneself cost
~ things means avoiding ebt.-New

A MASK OF BONAPARTE.
This Napoleonic Treasure Has just Been
Discovered In . Mexican Town.

This Napoleonic Treasure Has just Been
Discovered In . Mexican Town.
1t is little late in the day to revive
the Napoleonic craze, says the New Or-
leans Picayune, but as interest in the
great emperor never wholly dies the
fact that Antomarchi's death mask,
made Immediately after death in st.
Helena, has been found will be news
to many. For many years the cast was
lost to observation. 1t has recently been
discovered in Matamoras, Mexico, and,
according to the local paper, Ell Sol de
Mayo, is now in the possession OF cltl-
zen of that town. Antomarchi was at
tached to the emperor's suit, and when
Napoleon was dead procured plaster
from the drug store i'll Jamestown, with
which he made careful cast OF the
features of the illustrious dead.
After the death of Napoleon DR.. An
tomarchi returned to France, and, be-
coming dissatisfied with his surround
ings, sailed in 1886 for the United
States, landing at New Orleans, at
which place he joined a party of traders
going to Santa Fe. After remaining
short time at Santa Fe he went to
Guancevi, a small village in the state
Of Durango, in Mexico, making his
home while there with Don jose Gale
ros, father of Mrs. Macmanus, wife of
DIR. Charles Macmanus of Matamoras.
He remained with Don Jose Calleros
but a short time, when he determined
to visit Cuba When his final prepare
tions for departure were made he found
it convenient to leave with Don Jose
Calleros, for safe keeping, a box and
trunk. DR.. Antomarchi died i'll 1888,
soon after reaching Cuba, and for many
years the box and trunk remained i'll
the safe keeping of Don Jose CallVos.
Finally, when all hope of restoring
these chattels to their rightful owner
had expired, and after the good Don
Jose Calleros, of pleasant memory, had
passed away, the box and trunk were
opened and found to contain fine col
lection Of books and this cast of Napo-
Leon The books are now on the shelves
and the cast adorns the walls of the
voluminous library of DR.. Charles Mac
manus.
The face Of the emperor, as represent
ed in this relic, is very fine, majestic
and tranquil. Before dying Napoleon
became comparatively thin, and his
features recovered in death the exqui
site and classical symmetry for which
they were noted in youth. 1t is said
that no question can be made of the au-
thenticity of the discovery, which is of
exceeding interest, as the emperor never
sat directly for portrait, and the death
mask is therefore the only absolutely
authentic representation of his Inca
