Napoleon and America.

Whatever chagrin the Americans ma
have felt at the termination of their ne
gotiations was compensated for largely
by the magnificent way in which the
signing of the treaty (of 1901 was cele-
brated. At M~ortefontaine, Joseph Bona
parties home, a fete was given to the
commissioners, at which the first CON
sui himself was present. The dinner
consisted of $50 overs laid ON three ia
bles in three halls communicating with
each other. The first was called the Hall
of Union; the second and third bore the
names of Washington and Franklin. All
three were decorated with appropriate
symbols and legends.
After dinner the first toast, proposed
by Bonaparte, was, "To the names Of
the French and Americans who died on
of the new world" Cambaceres, Sec
ond consul, proposed the mex toast, "To
the successor of Washington" The next
was by Third Consul Lebrun, "TO the
union Of America with the powers of
the north to enforce respect for the lib
erty of the seas"
After the dinrser the party walked in
the park, where the project Of Morte-
fontaine presented Bonaparte with a
quantity Of Roman coin found in the
neighborhood. B%onaparte completed his
efforts at Precipitation by giving them to
Mr.. Davie, saying: "These Roman med
ais, sir, have just been found in France.
Accept and carry them with you to
America, so that the monuments Of the
Roman republic may become pledges OF
amity and union between the republics
Of France and the United States. Nc.

Passing An Examination.

The story of a we'll known bishop
which reached me the other day seems
good enough for publication. The bishop
was one day examining a batch of dea-
cons for priests orders. After the the
o~retical part of the examination, he said
to them: "Gentlemen, you have passed
a most excellent examination in theory.
l should now like to see you do some
thing practical. l shall go into the next
room and %personate a sick man. You
will come in, II by one, address me as
q sick parishioner, and say something
comforting" When his lordship had re-
tired, the candidates were in some con-
fusion, and nobody cared to begin, but
at last a mad Irishman volunteered to be
the first. He entered the study and ap-
preached the bishop. who was lying
with q woebegone air on the sofa, and
thus addresses him: "Oh, Anthony,
Anthony The drink again! Shure it
will be the death Of ye! Turn from your
evil ways before it's too late and be a
manr' This is said to be the last time
that the bishop held a practical exami-
nation. London Truth.

Citizen Train.


George Francis Train sat in state in
Madison Square park the other day, and
as he lolled on a bench munching pea
nuts a man came along who had been
drinking. There are few persons on
earth who think the sage of the square
an easy mark for their shafts of wit. So
kin you tell me-" asked the lurch-
ing chap, why you are crazy?"
George Francis looked at him seri-
ously for a moment. YES" he an
swered; II am pursued by SO many
fools who ask questions.
Don't sensible folks ever talk to
your" went on the man.
Never" replied the philosopher.
"You have answered your OWL ques-
tion," he went on. IF you need the in
formation really, you put yourself down
as a silly person. If you're not bright
enough to see the point, you are con-
victed of being n Of the class you men
ton. In any event you're a fool Now
60 home and reason it out" And the
half dazed individual sauntered away.

GEORGE " NO GENTLEMAN.

He Said So Once. and at Another Time He
Proved It.
When Lord Liverpool was forming
his ministry in 1922, he thought it al
solutely necessary to have Canning at
the foreign Office, although aware that
the appointment would be obnoxious to
George Nv. The Duke Of Wellington
undertook the unpleasant task of COM
municating Lord Liverpool's determi.

As soon as the king knew what was
wanted Of him he broke u i: Arthur,

q gentleman, he should never be one Of
my ministers again. l am sure You will
agree with me that / cannot do what l
said on my honor as a gentleman I
would not do"
fenced, but the great soldier, always
equal to an emergency, replied:
Pardon me, sir, but / don't agree
with you at all. Your majesty is not a
gentleman"
The bold assertion startled the king,
but the duke went on, Your majesty is
not a gentleman, but tho sovereign Of
England, with duties to your people far
above any to yourself, and these duties
render it imperative that you should
employ the abilities of Mr.. Canning"
well, Arthur" said the king, draw
ing a long breath, IF l must, I must. "
Although he did not like being told
he was not a gentleman, George Nv had
once, at least, while regent forgotten he
was one. This was when he flung q
glass of wine in Colonel Hamlyn's face,
with ''Hamlyn, You are a ~blackguard!"
The insulted officer could not return
the compliment without committing
something like treason-it was out of
the question to challenge the prince,
while to let the insult pass unnoticed
was equally impossible.
The colonel filled his glass and threw
the contents in the face of his neighbor,
saying. His majesty's toast, pass it
onl'
"Hamlyn," cried the regent, you're
q capital fellow! Here's your health"
And they were fast friends from that
evening. New York Advertiser.

steam Attachment to Telephone.

Manager Fowler Of the Telephone ex-
change, Ashland, KY, has devised an
ingenious attachment for telephones, to
be used in factories and shops where the
amount Of noise makes it almost impos.
sible to hear the call bell of the instru-
ment. 1t consists Of a steam whistle,
which is turned on by means Of a lever
operated by magnetism. When the in
strument is called from the exchange
the bell rings as usual, and, by the cleo
trical current passing through a mag
net, a weight is released which pulls
the lever to the whistle. Once started,
the whistle keeps up its shrill note un.
til some one answers the call and turns
off the steam, which is done by simply
replacing the weight. One Ct these at-
tachments is being placed ut the local
steel plant, another at the tannery ana
several more will probably be installed
i'll sawmills and similar establishments.

SWALLOWED THE JUMPING BEANS.
Thought They Were Capsules and Took thu
Dose In the Dark.

Thought They Were Capsules and Took the
Dose In the Dark.
A good citizen in the northwestern
section of the city has been through an
exciting experience. Being a dyspeptic,
the gentleman visited his physician. A
prescription was written for him which
the druggist filled. The result was q
small box of capsules, which he took
home and placed upon the %sideboard,
with the remembrance of the instruc-
tions to take two every hour in the even
ing after eating until bedtime. These
were obeyed implicitly.
1t was dark in the dining room, and
the gentleman went for his medicine
the first evening without a ]precaution
Of a lamp and administered to himself
three doses Of two capsules each before
retiring. He was awakened some hours
afterward by a strange sensation. For
aught the man could tell he seemed
within to be a mammoth penuchle board
on which a million little objects were
dancing.
He could distinguish kicks and jumps
SO wildly that it was in vain for his
wife to try to convince him that he was
dreaming. She suggested the doctor,
and the servant was dispatched in hot
haste. Before he arrived the sick man
asked for more CT the capsules, which
were brought to his bedside. When the
GOV was removed, there were Mexican
beans instead Of capsules, the kernels
bouncing as merrily as spring lambs.
The box Of capsules had been misplaced
accidentally by the young son and heir
and the beans put in its place. The doc
tor does MOI say what kind Of medicine

A GREAT BlOWhOLE.
The Singular Rock Formation ON the Aus
traliau COaat.

800 >~0<S
One Of the most pleasant as we'll az
famous tourist resorts in New South
Wales is situated on the coast some &c
miles south of Sydney. The center of
this district is Kama, q picturesque
and thriving town surrounded by rich
agricultural country, and which has
been built upon an old igneous flow of
basalt hat has solicited and crystal
lized into huge columns Of what is pop
ularly called limestone. This forma-
ton is seen to perfection ON the west
coast Of Scotland and north of Ireland
at st. Fingal's cave and other places,
and those who are acquainted with the
rugged appearance of the coast in these
places can form a good idea Of the ap-
pearance of the New South Wales coast
at this point. Kama, unlike other tour
list resorts, can be thoroughly enjoyed
in either fair or stormy weather, and
those who visit the tuwS when q good
gale is blowing have AL opportunity Of
witnessing a sight the like of which
does not exist elsewhere ON our globe.
The famous 'Blowhole" here situated,
in the middle of a rocky headland run
ming out into the sea, forms a truly Won
drous sight. With each successive break
er the ocean spray is sent shooting up
into the air sometimes as high as from
800 to 400 feet, descending in ,drench-
ing shower and accompanied by a rum
bling noise as of distant thunder, which
can be heard for many miles around.
This "Blowhole" is a singular nat
ural phenomenon, and consists of a per-
pendicular hole, nearly circular, with a
diameter of about ten yards across, and
has the appearance of being the crater
of an extinct volcano. This is connected
with the ocean by a a V about 100 yards
in length, the seward opening Of which
is in all respects similar to st. Fingal's
cave on the west coast of Scotland, the
same perpendicular basaltic columns
forming the side walls of each. Into
this cave towering wave rush during
stormy weather, and as the cave extends
some distance farther into the rock than
he "Blowhole," on the entrance of
each wave this cavity becomes full of
compressed air, which, when the tension
becomes too great, blows the water with
s~tupendous force up to the ~perpendicu-
lar opening. -Photographic Journal.

What and Where Is Heaven?

Alger says that 'heaven" is not dis
tinctively O world situated somewhere
in immensely, but that it is "a state Of
pure spiritual existence, having nothing
to do with any special time or place"
He further says that "heaven is a state
of the soul or a state of society under
the rule Of Gods will, either in this life
or in a future state of existence. From
the aboye it is clear that the great au
thority therein quoted considered that
''heaven" does not mean a bounded
place of abode, but simply unlimited
existence in a state of joy for the souls
Of virtuous respecters Of Gods laws
