A Nice Thing OF Napoleon,

On the day of Waterloo it was late
before Napoleon left his quarters.
About noon he anne down from his
quarters to take a horse. The euuerry
having gone off to snatch a hasty meal,
the duty of helping the emperor on
horseback fell to a youth named Gu
din. The lad had had no experience
in this line, and gave the little Cor
sican such a vigorous hoist hat he
nearly rolled off on the other side. Ma
poleon called him a little fool and rode
away in a fury, Gudin very down in
the mouth" following him some way
behind. ~By-and-bye the youth saw the
staff officers open to right and left, and
Napoleon came riding back. Laying
his hand kindly on the boys shoulder
he said, MY child, when you help a
mar of my size to mount, do so gently"
Fifty-seven years afterwards, as Gudin,
now grown a gray general, related the
incident, his eyes filled with tears at
the memory of Napoleon's thinking at
such a moment Of the wounded feelings
of the young man.

Spare Lives or Not.
Some time in the sos my husband
spoke to me of a very remarkable man,

hetst sooner or later, writes Julia Ward
Howe in Atlantic Monthly. This man,
DIR. Howe said, seemed to intend to de-
vote his life to the redemption of the
colored race from slavery, even as
Christ had willingly offered His life
for the salvation OF mankind. 1t was

you, the one who wished to be a savior
for the negro racer" | replied in the
affirmative. That man." said the doc
tor, will call here this afternoon.
You will receive him. His name Is
John Brown" Thus admonished, l
watched for the visitor and prepared to
admit him myself when he should ring
at the door. This took place at our
home in South Boston, where it was
not at all mira dig. for me to open my
W door. At the expected time |
heard the bell ring and, on answering
1t, beheld a middle-aged, middle-sized
man, with hair and beard of amber

a puritan of the puritans-forceful

had a brief interview, Of which | only

with the successful contest which kept
slavery out of the territory of Kansas.
He was a leading chief in the border
warfare which swept back the pro-
slavery immigration attempted by
some of the wild spirits of Missouri.
| remember of him one humorous
anecdote related to me by my husband.
On one occasion, during the border
war, he had taken several prisoners,
n among them L certain Judge.
Brown was always a man of prayer.
On this occasion, feeling quite uncer-
tain as to whether he ought to spare
the lives of the prisoners, he retired
into a thicket near at hand and be-
sought the Lord long and fervently to
inspire him with the right deter
mination. The judge, o~verhearing this
petition, was so much amused at 1t
that, in spite of the gravity of his
W position, he laughed aloud.

An international Bird Question.

In addition to the destruction
wrought by p~ugnacious sparrows at
home, English swallows and martins
suffer severely during their migrations
from ~bird-hunters in Italy and France.
Millions are thus slaughtered every
year, and the Society for the Protection
of Birds has been asked to protest to
the governments Of France and Italy
on the ground that the killing Of the
English birds while crossing their ter
ritories is leading to a serious increase
of insect pests in England. England
has never been backward in protect
ing her citizens abroad, and perhaps
her aegis will be found to cover those
that wear feathers as we'll az those
who dress n clothes.

The cost of pleasant words is little.
Their value is great. Children are hun
cry for them. Weakness finds strength
in them. Discouragement is dispelled
by them. They inspire hope. They
live in a. atmosphere of sunniness and
c~heerfuaess, and they beget such an
atmosphere. They make old hearts
young and sad hearts glad. They wipe
tears away with a touch as gentle as
the hand Of an angel, and with a COM
handing voice they bid dependency
be gone.
Pleasant words are pleasant both to
speak and to hear. They are neither
coarse nor harsh. They do not have a
metallic sound, but rhythmic and mu-

of birds and the laughter of childhood,
the zephyrs of natures choicest sum-

soothe and charm. Their quality is

world the petroleum products have

achievement-the manufacture of indi-
go by the synthetical processes in the

The culture of vegetable indigo has for
years been n of the principal occu-

The product of this factory Is admit
ted to be 8 per cent more pure than

be made so much more cheaply that
competition seems to be out of the

indigo are getting ready to go out of

slsMARcK's BOOMERANG.
Indemnity OF the War Had Surprising
Results,

AhCbtAto
There can be no doubt that the war
indemnity paid by France to Germany
after the six weeks war was q boom
erang to score up against Bismarck.
The good t did to France is ines
timable. Prior to the var there was
an enormous amount Of money locked
up in the form of small savings. The
appeal of the government to the peo-
pie set this sum into profitable mo-
ton, and, % the amazement of the
world, France paid off her creditor in
less than half the stipulated time. This
gave a vas impulse to business en-
terprise of all kinds, and since then
France has steadily become more
wealthy. In Germany the effects were
less beneficial. The huge influx of
gold sent up prices with a rush. A
mania for speculation set in, followed
by the inevitable crisis. Most serious
of az, however, was the unexpected
discovery OF Frances strength. Bis
marck intended to cripple her forever,
but he only revealed her immense
power, and this, of course, necessitated
the gigantic military burdens which
year by yea weigh more heavily upon
Germany.

Electricity for Stinps.

According to DR.. Friedlander of
Wiesbaden, electricity is an antidote
against stings of insects. His plan in
such cases is to apply a constant cur
rent and to place a negative cathode
on the spot stung by the insect. Gal
vanization produces a rather strong
sensation OF burning, but at the same
time the pain from the sting disap-
pears, and if the electricity is applied
very soon after the wound has been
inflicted there is little or no swelling.
The currenl, however, does excellent
service ever if it be not applied until
some time has elapsed, for it removes
the pain and also quickly reduces the
swelling. The supposition is that the
poison which the insect has injected
through the skin is neutralized and
rendered innocuous by the current. DIR.
Friedlander has repeatedly made ex-
periments OF this kind on persons who
have been stung by bees and wasps,
and has invariably found them success
full. He naturally believes that a sim
liar result would be obtained in the
cases Of persons stung by other in
sects.
