THE acquisition of foreign terrific

the building of navy to hold the ter

tion, a strongly centralized govern
ment and the opportunity, yes, the
probability of measuring arms with

means troublesome entanglements and

be taken from the throat of starving

Napoleon's Lost Treasure.

The recent find of an old military
knapsack filled with French gold
pieces coined about the beginning OF
the century near Vino, Russia, recalls
the dreadful fate of Napoleon's grand
army and it's disastrous Russian cam
palgn in 1872. After the destruction
OF Moscow the bold conqueror was
compelled to seek safety, but his return
to the frontier was not the retreat of
an orderly army; it was flight with all
its horrors. Napoleon himself hurried
back in advance of his army, in order
to steady the throne, which had be-
come shaky by events in Paris and
elsewhere. The shipping of the war
treasure, which at that time still con-
tanned 100000 francs, and which was
transferred in barrels in CARRIAGES
drawn by picked horses, was intrusted
to Marshal Ney. Napoleon never saw
the treasure again, and where it has
remained was kept profound secret
for a long time. Under strong cover
the transportation of the treasure was
started for the frontier, but not far
from Vino the wagons stuck in a detile
and it seemed impossible to get them
out again. Rather than see the treas
ure in the hands of the Russians, Field
Marshal Ney gave orders to break open
the barrels and distribute the money
to the returning soldiers as they passed
by, and thus it was DONE, Many of the
soldiers threw away all their belong
ings in order to fill up their knapsacks
with gold, but only few of those who
carried the heavy wealth were able to
drag the burden to the frontier, and
the very gold which was intended for
their benefit was the cause of their
perishing.

Catches.

Some people are very fond of telling
a story that has a catch in it, and so
taking their listeners in. Here is a
sample OF what I mean:
once, when in Paris, Napoleon paid
visit to a hospital for old soldiers.
Among the inmates was an old man
who had lost an arm. The Emperor
asked him:
Where did you lose your arm?"
AT Austerlitz, SIR
Then, no doubt, you curse the EN-
peror and your country for your fate?''
"On the contrary" said the veteran,
for the Emperor and my country /
would sacrifice my other ARM
Il can hardly believe it, said the
Emperor.
The soldier Immediately drew a sa-
bre from it's sheath and Topped off the
other arm.
"A most sublime act of self-sacri-
f1ce," said the old lady who had been
listening to the yarn, totally forgetting
the impossibility Of a one-armed man
cutting off his remaining arm.
Just read the above and see what
you can do in the same line.

Scoffers Are Silent Here.

In Hanover, Germany, there is a
tomb which believers look upon with
pious awe and joy, and before which
those who scott at holy things are 81
lent This is the story:
A young German countess, who lived
about 100 years ago, was a noted I'M
believer, and especially opposed to the
doctrine of resurrection. She died
when about 80 years of age, and before
her death gave orders that her grave
should be covered with solid slab of
granite; that around it should be
placed square blocks of store, and that
the corners should be fastened to each
other and to the granite slab with
heavy iron clamps. Upon the covering
she directed this inscription to be en-
graved: ''This burial place, purchased
to all eternity, must never be opened"
1t was done as she desired. All that
human power could do to prevent any
