new French empire. it is just as we'll,
so his guardians think, to have the boy
in perfect trim for the high position
which he and his followers covet.
The young Napoleon w is a black
haired lad, manly in his bearing, and
of robust health. The greatest possible
pains is taken in his training, and spe.
cial tutors are engaged to teach him
special studies. Even if he can never
become a great monarch, he will at least
be a polished gentleman and scholar.
The boy lives modestly with q DR..
Evans. whose son he is supposed to be,
and who is looking after the would be
kings health and training. Once a
month the boys mother visits him,
sometimes in the company of the ex EN-
press Eugenie. The mother Of the new
Napoleon is bright little English
woman, whOsings divinely, and is loved
even by the silver haired old ex-empress.
Such is the true story Of Napoleon
~. He may yet be one of the foremost
figures in France. He is the last hope
of the Napoleons. will he ever realize
his lofty ambition? Future history will
record the facts.-New York Recorder.

LONG DISTANCE TELEPHONE.
Instances In Which It Has Been Csed a.
the Delight OF Message Senders

Instances In Which It Has Been Used d
the Delight Of Message senders.
A good many stories are told Of the
strange Uses of the long distance tele-
phone. The day the line was opened 10
Merrill, Wis, y Chicago man, hunting
in the northern woods, came into town
and learned of the innovation. He went
into one of the "soundproof'' booths
and had himself put into communica.
tion with his family. As they had a
telephone in the house, the task was a
small one. He chatted with his wife,
told her fish story at which she might
smile without embarrassing him, since
he could not see the signs Of incredibly
talked with his boy and girl, and then
called for Gyp.
Gyp was o setter, great family net.
which had been left behind because of
an accident which rendered it lame.
Gyp was called to the telephone, and he
stood ON q chair, his fore feet on the
back, and his mistress held the trans
mitter to his ear.
'Hello. GypV' called the master
from Merrill And the dog in Chicago
pricked up his ears and whined. The
master wbistled cheerily, and the setter
barked directly into the receiver. He
knew his master s voice and the whistle
as well, and the master cheered him by
ready laughter at the prompt and eager
reply.
1t was worth the s.. so it cost.
A lady living near indianapolis, who
had for more than year been in deli
cate health, was taken to Chicago early
last winter, where she received surgical
treatment in a hospital. 1t was impos-
sible to take her home for the Christmas
celebration, although she had recovered
SO much that she could walk readily all
over the hospital. She had three beau
tiful children at home, and the father
prepared Christmas tree, Just as he
had formerly done, only he added a
feature which had never been found
there before. He had the electricians
come IN on the afternoon before Christ
mas and put his residence telephone in
the tree, where it was concealed with
pine needles and tinsel. He arranged
with the long distance people, appraised
his wife Of her part in the play, and at
q certain moment in The evening, when
the children, bubbling over with JOY at
their presents, still felt sadness at the
absence of their mother. he clapped the
receiver to the ear Of his youngest child,
and the gentle voice Of mamma came
over the wire.
1t was their most precious Christmas
present.-Tacoma Ledger.

He MAY BE KING.

The Young Son Of the Prince Imperial
Who Il Training Tor . Throne.
In a big old chateau just outside Of
Paris lives a 14-year-old boy who may
some day be the emperor of France. The
latter country is so unsettled in its poll
tics. and there are so many Of its in
habitants who would rather be ruled BY
an emperor than by president elected
from the people, that it is not wholly
impossible to say that the youth here
described may not some day be an impe-
rial successor to the throne of the great
Napoleon !. Indeed, the boy is none
other than Napoleon Nv, son Of the late
prince imperial
Very little is known in or out of
France about the little fellow who has
q kinglJ prospect. One thing is certain
the ex- Empress Eugene is very fond of
Napoleon Nv, whom she tenderly calls
her grandson. and it is she who is pro-
vidiDg the boys education-an educa-
ton that is fitting him for statesman

Where it's day all night and it's night all day
In the land Of Upside Down.
And who Go You think was walking roundP

His head was bowed. and he groaned aloud,
With the burden that he bore:
Misdeeds md misilaps, n wonderful crowd,
Till there seemed no room for more.
"And why are you so heavily taslsed,
On such TN unequal plant"
As sat en- q wayside seat, / asked
The Nobody Man.
&c sat him nigh with q doleful sigh,
And he said: at needs must be:
What Nobody does at home SO sly
Is skouldercd here by me.

Denied by the careless clan
In the land OF Upside Down all weight

He passed along with Q doleful song,
This overburdened wight.
And, bowed with the weight Of other folks

Awriter for children, Margaret Comp
ton, tells of good table game that is
easy to contrive and does not need much
preparation. This is table football -
Get a large cloth ON which you can
mark with chalk, or if you prefer you
can stitch the lines with red cotton.
The boys will tell you, if You do not
know. how to lay out the football field
The ball is an egg that has been blown.
A hens egg is generally used. but a rob.
ms egg is better. 1t is not kicked, but
blown from point to point. There is not
much danger to tie combatants, but a
new ball has to be provided for almost
every match. Touchdowns and five yard
limits are not possible, but the general
rules for football may be observed.

SOUTH AFRICAN COOKERY.
The Native Bill Of Fs-e Carries Disma,
to the White Man.

me Native Bill Of Fare Carries Dfsmay
to the White Man.
A very palatable dish is made of an
elephants foot by putting it in q hole.
building fire around and over it and
keeping it going for five or six hours.
Elephants tail is said TO be very deli
cious when washed. scraped and fried
until it is a rich brown. A novel way
OF making stew is practiced by ono
tribe, who use the animals skin as n re-
ceptacle for water. Put in this water
vegetables and pieces Of meat and then
add redhot stones. This generates vast
quantities of steam and makes tho wa
ter boil without injuring greatly the
surrounding hide. At the end of an
hour the contents are cooked and the
water has become a very fair soup, but
q little peculiar on account of the
amount of cinders, sand and fragments
OF stone 1t contains. Still another tribe
cook locusts, grasshoppers, katydids end
the like, and say they taste great deal
like an overlooked shrimp. None Of the
native tribes, so far as known, ever eat
the lion. bat they have no such feeling
toward other carnivora.
The jackal, wolf and fox are more or
less popular. and are reported to give q
very palatable meat Where our people
hang mutton, game and the immortal
goose to season it and give it q rich
flavor, many South American tribes Sc
cure the same result by burying meat
in the earth and leaving it there for
several days. No civilized man has ever
been able to eat it in this condition,
but the savages pronounce it delicacy
Of extraordinary merit. Not alone is
cannibalism practiced to large extent,
but our Darwinian cousins Of the mon
key tribe share the same fate. In the
districts where, they are employed as
food they are very timid and fly at the
sight of human being even at great
distance. In other territories, where
they are unmolested, they are about as
tame and fearless as in South America
or India. In nearly all of these tribes
the woman is the cook and the waiter,
very often the butcher and sometimes
the hunter.-New York Mail and Ex-
press. -

SPRING MEDICINE

Is SIMMONS LIVER REGULAroR-don't
forget to take i. The Liver gets sluggish
during the Winter, just like all nature,
and the system becomes choked up BY
the accumulated waste, which brings on
Malaria. Fever and Ague and Rheuma-
tism. You want to wake up your Liver
now, but be sure you take SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR to do 1t. It also
regulates the Liver-keeps it properly at
work, when your system will be free from
poison and the whole body invigorated.
You get THE BEST BLOOD when
your system Is in Al condition, and that
will only be when the Liver is kept active.
Try Liver Remedy once and note the
difference. But take only SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR-it IS SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR which makes the
difference. Take it in powder or In liquid
already prepared, or make a tea of the
powder; but take SIMMONS LIVER REGU-
LATOR. You'll find the RED z on every
package. Look for it.
