Yule Fires

Do not the kitchen middens" of which geologists tell us-those singular remains of gigantic fires and roasted bones which science has discovered on many a northern shore-mark the site where the Yule logs of the kings fires were first kindled? Quantities of fossil ized bones are embedded in the old world ash heaps-bones which careful investi- gation assures us have been roasted. Huge cooking places they must once have been. The bones strewing the ground after a carouse seem to have been a spe- cial feature of Danish feast. We have only to recall the death of Elphage, the patriot archbishop of Canterbury, in the days of Ethelred, who, although a pris- oner in the Danish camp, steadily re- fused to deliver himself by ransom, say ing it would be treason in him to pay the enemies of England. "Gold, bishop, gold " shouted the Danish troops, thirst ing more for gain than blood, until, ir- ritated by his constancy, they ran to a heap of bones and horns of oxen-the relics of their repasts-and showered them from all sides upon the aged Saxon. Elphaee soon fell half dead. and was dispatched with an ax by one of the pirates.
 We may gather some idea of these gi- gantic Yule fires from the ancient edicts and the allusions in the sagas to the all important duty of kindhng the beacon fires at the approach of an enemy. Wber- ever the Norsemen settled these beacon fires were established and their wardens appointed. Claus Magnus and Snorrc both prove that large trees were cut down in the nearest forest and piled upon the beacon hill until the blazing pine wood must have resem bled a burn ing mountain. Yet the kings fro at the feast of Thor exceeded the beacons oI the Norway headlands, as it burned for weeks. for the feast of Thor was alsC the appointed sime for regulating al home affairs, Notes and Queries

The Late French Emperor.

There never was a more amiable man in private life than the Empercr Napo- leon III or one more absolutely unpre- tending. His constant gentleDess, his unvarying, patient kindness, were only too much preyed upon by many of those around him, but he was certainly deep ly loved by all who were in habitual personal contact with him--more loved than was the Empress Eugenic, not withstandin2 her personal charms She was extremely good natured. thorough ly natural, devoid of haughtiness Ga great merit in such a position), but im- pulsiye and hot tempered, too sincere, too straightforward, to conceal her va rying impressions, withal fanciful and tenacious in her fancies, which often ir- ritated those who had to yield to her wishes despite difficulties aud inconven- fence. "One of the empress whims was often the comment of her attend ants. down to the domestic servants of the palace
 The emperor, always quiet, and even apathetic, disturbed no one. hut if an appeal were made to his feelings he could not resist There was a sort of tender hearted, sentimental softness in his nature which recalled the ''sensibil- ity" of bygone days probably inherited from his mother, Queen Hortense This often led him astray and is the real ex- planation of many errors He was far from being deliberately false, as has been so often asserted; but, unfortu- nately, he was more a man of feeling than a man of principle. This led to weakness and vacillation, though, like many others whose natures are too yield ing. when he had finally taken deci- sion. he was firm even to obstinacy.- Life In the Tuileries." by Anna L.

George Larkin?' And his bid was en. calendar.
 The next evening every journal in that great empire, which extended from ocean to ocean, had a biography of Mir. George Larkin. These biographies were made up generally from the informa- ton given in the directory of New Bed lam. One of them therefore described MT. George Larkin as the leading man at the Varieties Another said that MT. George Larkin was engaged in a profit able thread and needle lusiness in the lower wards of New Bedlam. Another said that MT. George Larkin had won his distinction as reporter for the press. But all persons agreed that Mir. George Larkin was person of great importance in the financial community, and that he was patriot of the first water. It was generally agreed also that his foresight with regard to na- tional affairs was well nigh perfect, and that no person knew so we'll as he did when stocks would rise and when they would fall. "Our readers will remem- Der how on a previous occasion the whole turn of the stock market was changed by the sudden purchase of P. F. and L. This purchase is new attrib- nted to the foresight of MT. Larkin."
 Gertrude, on that particular evening. did not happen to open her newspaper. If she had. she would have known that her lover was that day the man most talked about in the whole world. After this, she was so overwhelmed by her correspondence from different people who wanted her to introduce them to Mir. George Larkin that she had no time to open the newspapers for six months. Sho never knew. therefore, why NIT. George Larkin suddenly attained the prominence in all social walks, in walks of finance and indeed in the es- teem of his fellow countrymen, which she had gained. She did know that, two or three days afterward, he came in to see her looking like a new man. He stood erect where his head had hung low, he had cheerful smile on his face where he had looked dejected when she snubbed him. In fact, she did not dare to snub him. She knew that he was a person of much more importance in the estimate of the world than she was And when George Larkin, for the first time in his life. gained the courage to ask Gertrude if she would marry him and make him happy for the rest of his life, Gertrude had no thought of saying any thing but yes. So much is even good girl governed unconsciously by the tone of the people who are around her.
 It is an unimportant thing to add, but this great empire rose from its depres- sion on the strength of Mir. George Lar kin's offers to the treasury. Everybody saw that he was right. and nobody else was right. Four per cents rose to high CT line than had ever been known in his tory. The reputation of Mir. Larkin as a fsnancier was established. Rothschilds and Belmonts and other bankers of the world begged for his advice, and offered him places in their firms. These he was not so foolish as to accept. But he lived a happy life with the woman he had loved. and he had the glad consciousness that, by the way, he had saved his coun try.-Edward Everett Hale in Chicago Inter Ocean.

Napoleon. Advie. About Hortens..

Louis, who was governing Holland with reference to its own best interests, and ordering the affairs of his own fam fly rigidly, but admirably. received se- were and passionate reprimand from the emperor for his economy. What was wanted was pay for the troops, plenty of conscripts, encouragement for the Dutch Catholics, and a giddy court, where men would forget more serious things and where Queen Hortense could make display. ''Let your wife dance as much as she wants to. It is proper for her age have wife 40 years old, and from the field of battle I recom- mend her to go to balls. while you want one of 20 to live in cloister, or, like a wet nurse, always bathing her child '' Professor Sloane in Century.
