>,,o,cou.s Heart In a Rat Hole.

When Napoleon died his friends
asked permission to remove the re-
mains to Europe, that they might be
buried on the banks of the Seine. ac-
cording to the wish he had so often
expressed. This privilege the British
authorities refused to grant. Even
Nine. Bertrand's entreaties to allow
the heart to be taken home to France
were ignored. Strangely enough, how
ever when the body was being en-
balmed the heart disappeared. The
basin in which it had been placed while
the embalming process was going on
was quite empty. OF course it was
the first thought that some one of the
dead emperor's friends had stolen IL.
Search was made everywhere. Finally
some one noticed trace OF blood lead
ing IN n rat hole in the corner OF the
room. There. stuffed tightly in the
hole. was found the heart of the man
who had made all Europe tremble.
Tho rat had taken it from the basin,
hut could not get IL through the open
ing leading to its nest.-Pittsburg DIS

Made To Look Like Marble.

1t is said that by giving plaster
figures a bath in certain way they
may be made to look like marble The
bath is made by putting two generous
quarts of water into an agate kettle
with one ounce of pure curd soap and
one ounce of white beeswax, cut into
small pieces; let this dissolve over a
slow fire, and when all the ingredients
are thoroughly mixed, tie fine Irvine
around the figure and dip it into the
liquid. Take the figure out and hold
1t in the air for five minutes, and then
again dip it into the liquid; let the
figure dry for few days, and then rub
it with a soft flannel; brilliant gloss
will be produced.

Two Girls freed by "A bull.

The proximity of friendly tree in
which they took refuge was all that
saved Violet and Louise Jordan from
being gored to death by bull at Gro
ton. n. Y, the other day. They were
riding their bicycles through field
in which cattle were feeding, when a
large bull gave chase. Just as the ami
NAL was about to overtake them they
sprang from their wheels and scram-
bled into a large tree. The bull raved
furiously about the tree for few min
utes in an attempt to reach Them, and
then tossed the wheels about until
they were badly wrecked. The animal
finally lay down underneath the tree
and the frightened young women were
compelled to remain among the
branches for several hours. sunering
severely from the cold. They were
rescued by their father.

ground in safety, but the other three
were afraid to venture. There tney

was not until nearly dark that block
and tackle could be attached to the rim
Of the pipe, and then the workmen
were lowered from their perilous
perch.

denly by frightful yells and screams of
pain. coupled with the fierce growls
and snarls of the puma, and the sounds
of desperate conflict.
THE puma and the jaguar are sworn
enemies and tho two great beasts we're
having a battle to the finish. The bat
tie lasted for some time but near
morning the puma, sorefy wounded,
crept through the grass and crouched
down beside my daughter. purring like
a cat. The creature seemed so friend
ly that Ethel ventured to stroke his fur
with her hand, whereupon the puma
began to play and roll about like a kit

crouched over her body and began to
growl Several rifles were leveled at
the head of the brute. but Ethel begged
us not to shoot, and from that day to
this the two have been inseparable.'

Fought with n Hawk.

Ex-Mayor Pearson of Allegheny has
Just returned from the hunt, and his
experiences were exciting. While
shooting in Washington county the
other day a hawk passed over the hor-
lion. The mayor Immediately pointed
his gun, and with steady aim brought
Il down. However, he failed to kill the
bird of prey. He merely wounded it,
hut the bird dropped to the ground
and Topped around. Mr.. Pearson went
after the bird. which was as big as a
turkey, and while handling it. the
hawk caught the ex-mayors fingers be-
tween his beak and crunched them TO
the bone. His hand is now seriously
swollen. but he doesn't expect blood
poisoning to set in. With the ex-may-
or was a man from Cecil, Frank Rob-
inson, and the bird. after loosening its
talons and allowing the mayors hand
TO 20 free, quickly inserted its pointed
beak into Robinson's right limb and
ripped a piece of flesh out. 1t was
some time before the hawk was killed
by the two men. 1t was no sooner kill
ed than another few by, and Mr.. Pear
son, Notwithstanding his wounded
hand, again took aim and fetched the
second one down, having shot it
through the heart. Mr. Pearson has
the two huge birds at his Allegheny
place of business and prizes them as
trophies of war. He says the people
who live in the vicinity of his hunt
thanked him for having killed the
hawks, because recently the birds had
been making sad havoc among the
chickens on the farms.

and applied lotion TO the muscle. The
eye was then bandaged so it could not
fall out again. Dr. Heady believes the
eye is not destroyed.
