Famous Generals Whose Appetites

Lucullus was a great general at one
period, and that he led his armies VIC
toriously through many parts of Asia
Minor. The kingdom of Pontus was
completely subjugated by him; and the
spoils collected from its principal cities
formed the basis of the enormous for
tune with which he afterward enjoyed
himself and entertained his compan-
ions in Rome. But gold and jewels were
not the only things that attracted the
attention Of this man of varied tastes.
The city of Cerasus, on the shore of
the Euxine sea, was celebrated for its
cherries, specimens of which were Of
fered to him as the choicest delicacies
of the region. He was so delighted
with them that he ordered the fruit to
be cultivated on his estates at home,
and from that time cherries began to
be known in Italy. You may be sure
that Lucullus the soldier was different

said Percy, that Napoleon Bonaparte
had no time to think about what he
ate"
''That was often the case" Uncle
ClaXton replied, when he was out
campaigning. He had very little time,
and not much inclination. Even in the
peaceful intervals of his reign he was
extremely abstemious. But he had his
fancies in the way of food, and it has
been said that he was punished terribly
for indulging one of these at the wrong
time. Boiled mutton with onion sauce
was dish of which he was often tempt
ed to eat too much, and on the day of the
battle of Leipsic, when he should have
been especially careful of his diet, he
chose it for his principal meal, and
dined so heavily that within few hours
violent collie seized him, and he was
compelled to leave the field at mo-
ment when all his skill was needed to
avert disaster. Other causes have been
assigned for his defeat, but the story
which l give you was believed at the
time, and | do not know that it has ever
been proved false. The harm may have
come from his habit of eating too fast,
for which Napoleon was notorious. He
did not ordinarily allow himself leisure
enough to enjoy the few dishes he liked
best. His famous rival, Wellington, was
just as careless, and even more in
different. st. Nicholas.

DEATH OF CROMWELL.
1t Came on His 'sFortunate Day" and
While a Terrific Storm
Was Raging.

Cromwell was now so years old.
Eight years before he had written to
his wife that he felt the infirmities of
age stealing over him. His robust en-
ergies had been consumed by the eX-
hausting duties of his career. His govt
seemed to leave his leg and retire into
his body, and for four or five days he
was racked with intolerable pain in his
bowels and back, making it impossible
for him to sleep. He rode out once at
the head of his life guard, and spoke
kindly with George Fox, favoring the
fullest freedom of worship for the
Quakers. Before l came to him." said
Fox, 81 saw and felt watt of death go
forth against him."
While tossing on his bed he repincd
for his dear Elizabcth; and then his
thoughts swept back 70 Robert, dead
at Felsted school 10 years ago; and he
vainly strove to check his tears with
the solace of that Scripture which he
knew in whole by heart.
The belief that had followed Crom-
well all through his life that he was
privileged to hold personal communion
with the Most High God was strangely
manifested in these last days. He be-
sought the Lord that for the good of
His people He would spare his life yet
little longer. He then assured his coun-
selors that his prayer had been granted,
using manner of such mysterious con-
fidcnce that his hearers were trans
ported with amazement. Fleetwood
sent quick message to Henry Crom-
well in Ireland that his highness had
made very great discoveries of the Lord,
and had received assurances of being
restored; to which Henry replied that
the communication had given him some
relief.
But there came night when all saw
that the end was approaching. They
tried to get him to name his successor,
and in his thick dcath-gasps they af-
fected to believe that they heard him
say Richard" They offered him
drink. ut is not my design to drink
or Sleep" he said, but my design is to
make what haste can to be gone" All
night he tossed and all day he drew his
heavy suspirations. The widest storm
that England had known was raging
without. 1t was the anniversary of
his great victory of Dunbar-the ami
versary, too, of his great victory of
Worcester. And on this, his fortunate
day." his spirit passed out amid the
ghtning.-Samuel Harden Church, in

CALIFORNIA TIMBER.

The writer, on first visiting timber

ANTS AND THEIR WAYS.
If the Busy Little Things Were
Large Enough They Would
Rule Everything.

If ants were large enough they would
rule the earth. AS it is, they predomi-
nate the politics of their own sphere,
and have many human characteristics,
says the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The longest time for which an ant
sleeps is three and half hours. On
awakening they stretch their legs,
yawn and then carefully clean them
selves by applying their legs to their
mouths and rubbing them over their
bodies, very much in the style of cat
washing her face; after which they
comb and brush their heads and bodies
with the natural comb which nature
gives them.
The most remarkable thing about
this is that almost every necessity for
which we are obliged in our case to en-
ploy more or less complicated me-
chanical contrivances is provided for
by the physical structure of the ants.
Ants clean themselves both before
and after sleep and also after eating.
Frequently one ant will lick and brush
another all over, limb by limb, the ant

taxing her muscles and abandoning her.
self to the enjoyment of the operation.
They are great hunters, attacking
snakes, lizards, rats, mice, centipedes
and beetles.

SHE HAD "PUSH."
A Young Woman Who Got a Position,
While the Other Girl Is Still
Unemployed.

There were two young women sing
,yrs who came to New York not long
ago to continue their musical educa-
tons and also to get church positions
to support themselves and pay for their
lessons, says the New York Times. The
absolute necessity of enterprise and de-
termination in at least making an eff
fort to open every possible door in
New York is to be seen in the fortunes
of the two. Both were equally anxious
for positions and equally in need OF
them. They were equally attractive
girls and equally ladylike, but the one
felt that her efforts must be made only
through certain conventional channels
and the other made an application any
where she thought there was a posi-
bility of a position, no matter how much
it might be above what she felt she
could do or below what she hoped to
do. Wherever there was a chance of a
singer being needed she presented
herself, and sung, always with increas-
ing confidence. If she went to the
organist of a ciurch and heard through
him that certain man in the congrega-
ton was the one upon whose vote a
singer came Or went she Immediately
presented herself to the man who would
be the one person to help her to accom-
plish her purpose. She was always
ladylilke, but she developed that quality
called push" She knew that she must
have position to stay in New York
and she got one. Now she is connect
ed with one of the largest churches,
while the other girl, who has been in
the city longer time, is still waiting
for an opportunity. There may be diff
ferences of character which present OBJ
stacles, but with the great competition
in New York the girl who makes herself
heard is the one who succeeds.

the bad money was such wonderful
imitation that the closest scrutiny often
failed to find the difference between a
good and bad piece.
In this dilemma some Siamese mer-
chants called to their help some one
who was always thought not so smart
as a mana monkey. And these Large
apes of Siam proved such success at
their new avocation that the custom of
employing them for the purpose oil de-
tecting bad money has become univer-
sal. The ape cashier of Siam holds his
situation without rival!
He has a peculiar method of testing
coin. Every piece is handed to him and
he picks up each bit of money, one at
time, and meditatively puts it into his
mouth, tasting it with grave delibera
ton. IL the coin is good he declares
the fact plainly. He takes it from his
mouth and carefully places it in it's
proper receptacle beside him. lie has
pronounced judgment and everyone is
satisfied that the judgment is correct.
But, if the coin is bad, the cashier
makes known his verdict in an equally
unmistalable manner. He throws it
violently from his mouth to the floor,
shaking his head with as much disgust
as the merchant himself might feel at
being imposed upon. With loud chat
tering and angry gestures he makes
known his displeasure at being pre-
sented with bad piece of money. The
merchant himself could not express it
better.
Now, how does monkey know what
/ man cannot tell? All, that is his Sc
cret He never reveals it. Perhaps he
is afraid if he should make known all
the mysteries of his profession his oc-
cupation might be gone, and people
would once more prefer men for cash

Character in Lips.

The old popular notion that thin and
delicately formed lips indicate more
spirituality and elevation of character
than do thick, coarse lips is controvert-
ed in the Paris Bulletin of Anthro-
pology by DR.. a. Bloch, who says he has
made thorough study of the subject
of lips from scientific standpoint.
The popular impression, he AYERS, is
based on Imagination, and the differ
ences in human lips depend on race dis
tinctious, as do the differences in the
size and shape of noses.

MONKEYS AS CASHIERS.
In Siam, an Ancient Asiatic King
dom, Simians Are Employed to
Test All Coins.

We do not often hear of monkeys be-
or ''comical," or amusing" or mis-
chievous," as well as great many
other things; but we do not hear the
monkey often alluded to as that use
full animal, the monkey"
Now, the Siamese people don't think
that way. They don't reflect how anus
ing a monkey is. They find out what a
monkey can do, and make him useful
by making him do it. There are
plenty of monkeys in Siam. They are
of all sizes, large and small; and the
large apes of Siam, we have heard, are
used by the Siamese merchants as
cashiers in their counting-rooms.
Think of making apes useful in such a
way as that! To keep them for CASH
iers in a counting-room!
We are not told that these apes are
expert in making change, or that they
are able to keep the merchants ledger

do not have complicated account books;
yet there must be some limit to mon
