NAPOLEON'S HORSES.

Noble Animals.

The Little Corporal Was Very Fond Of tia
Noble Animals.
In the present revival of interest in
Napoleon, little attention has been paid
to his love for horses. A study OF this
side of his nature would reveal some in
teresting facts. In Egypt Napoleon or
dered the capture of every horse ridden
by the Mamelukes where capture was
possible. Nearly every horse taken was
shipped to France, as many Of them
were OF the Arab type. One OF the
ships on which some of the captured
horses were shipped was wrecked in at
tempting to escape from English frig-
ate. Another ship on which Junot
sailed was captured, and Junot was
made prisoner. When Napoleon heard
the news, he expressed more regret for
the loss of the horses than he did for
that OF his favorite secretary, after
ward marshal Of France.
The horses that arrived safely OF
French soil have left their mark on the
horses of France and this country.
Their descendants can be seen every
day on the streets of New York. They
have driven the Clydesdales and Eng
fish shire horses out Of the Ameri-
can markets, and the smoothly turned,
trappy, rapid walking, active Normans
and Percherons are the result of the
capture OF the horses Of the Mamelukes
by Napoleon in Egypt. Their blood
lines were SO strong that the grays pre-
dominate, and it is a common occur.
renee to see horses that weigh upwards
OF one thousand pounds with the clear
cut head, wide throttle, sharp-pointed
ear and beautiful, mild eye of the Arab

BEES FORM FRIENDSHIPS.
Expsrisnces Of . Young Man to WHOM

II always loved bees" said the young
man in gold bowed glasses behind the
dairy counter as he handed down Q
honeycomb for the inspection OF an idle
customer, according to the New York
Sun. when was on the farm" he
continued, II could go all about the
hives and not get stung, and none OF
the others dared 60 near the bees. We
used to have an old farmer come around
and tend to the swarms, but one day
when was boy working in the fields
heard q great humming noise up in
the air and saw swarm a-coming.
Well, l picked up tin pan that was
there and hammered on it till the bees
settled on the end of fence rail. Then
thought l could tend to the swarm as
well as the old farmer, so got an old
hive, washed it out with honey and wa
ter, rubbed my hands and arms with
burdock juice and honey water, and
went at the bees got them of that
rail by the handful and they never
stung me.
AFTER that regularly tended to the
bees. Whenever there was swarm
rolled up my sleeves, took off my shoes
and hat, and went at them. have
taken them from all sorts Of places, but
was never stung only once. They'd
light on my head by the dozen and
crawl through my hair. That used to
send cold chills down by back. Some
times my arms were SO covered with
bees that from wrist to elbow you
couldn't see the flesh. The one time
when was stung had found swarm
on high limb and was saving it of, and
at the same time holding on to it that it
should not fall to the ground with the
bees. In doing this l squeezed one Of
the bees, and it flew straight at my
temple and stung me just above the
eye. Since l left the farm the folks have
given up the bee business. There's no
doubt about it, bees like some folks and
hate others, and don't know any rea-
son for the difference"

THE H. D. SMITH COMPANY.

Southington, Dec. 15.--It was learned to-day that at an early date commit
 tee representing the largest creditors of
 the H. D. Smith Manufacturing com
 pany, carriage hardware makers of
 Plantsvile, will begin the examination
 of the assets of the concern. The larg-
 est creditors include several banks which hold the concerns paper. From a high officer of the company to-day the following statement was given explain ing the situation:
 The late H. D. Smith, founder of the company, was one of the chief endorsers of the company's paper. His death and the settlement of his estate necessitat- ed a readjustment of affairs, so that the name of the deceased could be relieved for the purposes of the estate. Two days ago meeting of the creditors was held in Huntsville. It was then learned that the assets of the company, based on an inventory of August 1, with all bad debts and questionable resources unincluded, are s39O,0OO. The liabilities approximate $120,000.
 The capital stock is $200, GOO, all paid in. Hands to the number of 125 are employed and the forgings and fittings made by the company are known throughout the world. The business of the concern, 1t is said, was never more promising than at present, and some of the largest creditors are authority for the statement that an adjustment of the affairs will be rendered not difficult because of the character of the assets and the excess of the assets over the liabilities.
