A Soldier of Napoleon.

/ Most of us nowadays, when thinking
of the Napoleonic wars, consider them
as a part of the remote past, and 1t is
difficult to realize that there may be
people still living who o part In the
battles of Marengo, Jena and Water
loo. But all of Napoleon's soldiers are
not vet dead, and one man who fought
under the great French general is said
to be living now near Cleveland. ohio.
Whether that is true or not, it is a fact
that only recently II of N~apoleon's
old warriors died at the soldiers home,
Kearny, n. j,
His name was Henry Mueller, and
he was born in Germany in 1874, and
when the French armies invaded PruS-
STA Mueller was fifteen years old. With
many of his compatriots he was draft
, ed into the Grand Army and marched
off to Russia to fight the Cossocks and
the cold. He was at Moscow, and
I, tramped all the way back in the dis
astrous retreat, suffering untold tor
lures, and seeing his fellow soldiers
falling in the snow almost at every
| step. Mueller kept up, and lived to
get back to Germany, and to fight at
the battles of Bautzen. Leipsic and
finally in the great battle Of Waterloo.
After Napoleon had been captured
by the British and sent to the lonely
island of st. Helena. and the great
armies of Europe had been disbanded,
Mueller took ship and came to the
United States. Not long after his ar
rival in this country the Seminole and
Mexican wars broke out. and the cd

on Mr.. McCaul's part, he drew the

presently both men were deep in the

Hero.

One day Robert took up a magazine
that was lying on the teachers table.
In it he saw a story called "a Hero"
"What is this about?' he cried. 81

The story was something like this:
A few years ago the traveller through
Switzerland might have seen a charm
ing little village, now, alas! no longer
in existence. A fire broke out one day
and in a few hours the quaint little
frame houses were entirely destroyed.
The poor peasants ran round Wrlnglng
their hands and weeping over their
lost homes and the bones of their
burned cattle. .
One poor man was in ever greater
trouble than his neighbors. True. his
home and the COWS were gone, but so
also was his son. a bright boy of six
or seven years. He wept and refused
to hear any words of comfort. He
spent the night wandering sorrowtuly
among the ruins, while Lis acquaint-
ances had taken refuge in II neigh
boring villages.
Just as the daylight came. however,
he heard a we'll known sound, and,

after them was his bright-eyed little
son.
''Oh. my son! my SOM" he cried
save you really alive?'
"Why. yes, father. When saw the
fire | ran to get our COWS away to the
pasture lands"
"You are a hero, my boy" the father
exclaimed.
But the boy said: 'Oh. no! A here
is one who does some wonderful deed
l led the COWS away because the!
We're in danger, and | knew it was TIT
right thing to do"
"Ahr' cried the father, she who doe
the right thing at the right time is
hero"
Robert heard the story two or thre
times. At last he said: Il wonder
now. if that is true. A hero is on
who does the right thing . the RICH
time There are plenty of chances TO
me to be that kind of a hero.'-Selec1

1t was in the reign of Edward III.
that a law was passed to restrain lux
ury. The prelates and nobility were
thereby confined to two courses at ev-
cry meal, and to two kinds of meat at
every course, except at great festivals.
The law also forbade the laboring
classes to wear their dresses embroid-
cred in gold and silver; and, to encour-
nge the manufacture of English cloth,
the use of foreign cloth was confined
to the royal family.

a confirmed soldier of the German, and
so when the war of the rebellion broke
out in 1861 he again took out his mus

Mr.. H. Linden, secretary to the Ma

boat which is said to induce the waves
as well as the wind to propel it. Mr..
Linden took the fins of the porpoise as

trials, a boat with metal fins fixed fore
and aft ON out-rggers, which will
travel in the teeth of the wind faster
than any other tack.

There is said to be a snake in Oregon
called the stupetied snake, which is one
of the most interesting species of the
family. This snake has a head on each
end and runs either way. One head is
about one-fourth as large as the other.
1t is of a yellowish color. 1t generally
lies in a loop, and is frequently OBJ
served summing in an apparently stupe'

The discovery has been made that
the Paris Opera is the most dangerous
theater in Paris. Apart from certain
perils attached to the defective ar
rangement of the electric lighting, none
of the regulations ordered after the
Opera Comique disaster have been car

10000 tons of infammable scenery
piled up in such a way that it takes
four days to dislodge a scene required.

Sheep delight in the short grass and
peculiar heritage of hill pastures and
bare downs, and the mutton produced
in such pastures, and by the breeds
most suitable to them, is of superior
quality to that of the large, fat sheep
fed on richer soil. The multitude of
tiny shells so often found on every foot
of down turf is also very efticacious in
fattening and nourishing the animal.
