A Gastronomic Cyclone.

All men and women eat If they
don't, they won't last long, and no one
need worry as to whether they count
for much or not But good eaters are
usually very objectionable. By good
eaters l do not mean large eaters or
greedy eaters, though may include
some of both, but mean the men and
women who enjoy what they eat and
show no disposition, either from dys-
pepsia or other form of indigestion, to
quarrel with their food.
Gluttons, however, are not very love-
ly. sat at table once with a woman
at summer resort who every day for
dinner ate II ears of corn from the cob.
That is more than the regulation mid
day feed for a horse. And in the opera
ton she creased her hands and her
cheeks, and every now and again her
nose was decorated with the well but
tered grains. She was sight, and at
the end of the table she bred famine
that it took walters to relieve. And
she was in repose not by any means 4
bad looking woman, but in action-in
action at the table-she was q kind of
human cyclone, leaving desolation in
her path. She had had three husbands
and is widow again. What became
of the poor men never knew, Maybe
she ate them.-John Gilmer Speed in

A Joke of sydney Smiths.

On the occasion of dinner Sydney
Smith was the guest, and when the
evening was over the host thanked
the wit heartily for the entertainment
he had afforded. 81 shall not forget

you. Take care you don't forget your

good temperedly, ''if 1 catch you smil-
ing will call you by name" "You
may" rejoined the visitor. "The thing
is absurd. l will give you donation
to the York hospital if it happens"
On the ensuing morning Smith read
the prayers reverently, as he always
did, then assembled the pulpit, looked
around the church and rested his eye
on the visitor whose name was Ker-
shaw. That gentleman said afterward
that he did not know what possessed
him, but so it was he gave a broad
smile. Th,reupon the preacher was
seized with violent inclination to

When Bees Bent Troops.

1t is on record that swarm Of bees
as weapons of war were used not once,
but twice. and with the best possible
effect.
When Themiseyra, in Pontus was
besieged by Lucullus, the Romans en-
ployed turrets. built mounds and made
huge mines beneath the city While
they were creating the mines the PEG.
pie of Themiseyra dug down through
the earth to the mines and then cast in
upon the Roman workers bears and
other wild animals, together with a
swarm of bees.
History repeated itself in England
when the Danes and Norwegians made
their attack upon Chester, about ten
centuries since. The town was held
by the Saxons and some Gallo allies,
who tried stones and boiling water up
on the besiegers without effect. AS a
last resource they collected all the bee
hives and upset them into the enemy's
camp beneath the city wall.
This had the effect of making things
''hum," so to speak, and it is recorded
that the enemy were so badly stung
that they could move neither arms nor
legs.

1T has been proved that the compare.

wounds are concerned, of besieged

bravest men.

20 men it may kill one and wound two.

that many of these are never the same

they were before, they are now ir-
resolute and timid, and all their facul-
ties are weakened. Very often they
are jeered at by their comrades be-
cause of this change. But this is ut
terly unjust in fact their brain and

This curious state in the case Of
soldiers is well recognized by doctors

quite as physical as shattered leg,
for they consist of kind of bruising
of the very delicate tissue of the spinal

Bright.s Threat to Hi. wife.

Two characteristic anecdotes of
John Bright are given in Sir Edward
Russell's memoirs. which he has @ b.
lished under the title "That Reminds

Bright was supposed to be total alb
stainer, but once when Edward M Ill
was very nervous at the prospect of
having to make an important speech in
the house, Bright said:
"Well, Mall. if I were you, I'd for
once go and have a pint Of cham
pagne."
Mr.. Mail did as he was told, and the
result may be judged from the nara
tors comment that champagne on an
unaccustomed interior is not always a
curative or a tonic" ~ sss1,.-
Bright rarely had any difference
with his wife," but occasionally they
were not at one, about the children.
When they came to point of absolute
disagreement, he used to say:

what wish, I'll go straight to Mr..
Gladstone and ask him to make me a

ably was:

Napoleon ana the roman r.,,.

Napoleon had an extraordinary
MIND. He appeared never to forget
anything he cared to remember and
assimilated information as the stomach
asslmilates food, retaining only the
valuable. An incident will illustrate
this remarkable quality of his mind.
When forming the Code Napoleon, .
he frequently astonished the council
of state by the skill with which he il.
lustrated any point in discussion BY
quoting whole passages from memory
of the Roman civil law. The council
wondered how man whose life had
been passed in camp came to know so
much about the old Roman laws. FL
nally one of them asked him how he
acquired his knowledge.
When was a lieutenant" Napo-
leon replied, Il was unjustly placed
under arrest. My small prison room
contained no furniture except an old
chair and cupboard. In the latter
was ponderous volume, which proved
to be digest of the Roman law. You
can easily imagine what a valuable
prize the book was to me. 1t was so
bulky and the leaves were so covered
with marginal notes in manuscript that

coveNd my liberty at the end of ten
days. was saturated with Justinian
and the decisions of the Roman legis-
lation. 1t was then acquired my
knowledge Of the civil law"

Personally know of no other town
where such late hours are the vogue
as in st. Petersburg. But your St.
Petersburger does not get up early in
the morning. At st. Petersburg the
music halls. which it is the fashionable
thing to attend after the theater-a
drive to them taking half an hour in a
swift sleigh-do not practically begin
till II. Through the Neva at o'clock
in the morning you have to literally
push your>way, and the favorite trains
for travellers are those starting about
8 O'Clock in the morning. These trains

The Tulip Craze.

About the middle of the seventeenth
century the tulip became known In
Germany. and scientist named Ges-
ner gives the first description of this
flower. First only the yellow variety
was known, and then other colors were
produced by crossing. The Dutch, par
ticularly the citizens of HARLEM, pro
ducod the most wonderful varieties of
this flower and obtained en- ,rl,,ous
prices for them
In 1854 the trade in tulips assg...el a
peculiar turn. 1t degenerated Into a
sort Of a game of chance, so that in
1913 the authorities felt called upon to
interfere and to issue edicts against
extravaganza in tulips, as they former
ly had against trains and laces. Tn. )
interference would seem to be justified
if one reads that in 1906 single flower
of this sort, called the Viceori, was
paid for with two cargoes of wheat,
four cargoes of rye, four fat oxen,
eight fat hogs, - fat sheep, two casks
of wine, four barrels of beer, two tons
of butter, 1000 pounds of cheese, a
complete bed, suit of clothing and a
silver tankard.
Another bulb, the semper Augustus,
was paid for with 1900 gold guilders
and a coach with double team Of
horses. In HARLEM the tulip craze
reached it's height in the decade from
1880 to 164O, when a price Of 1AQOO
gold guilders (about $4,000 Amerfcan
money! is recorded for single bulb.

A Joke ON oRenhach.

NJ. Ernest Blum told a joke which
ne ana some friends played on Often
bach when la Belle Helene" was
about to be produced. The composer
was most anxious that his airs should
not get about before the first night and
had asked all his company to be most
careful not to let any one hear them,
put his tunes We're so catchy that III
was impossible to help singing tnem.
| One day Blum and his friends were
sitting opposite Offenbach in cafe
when one of them began to hum lead
Ing air of La Belle Helene"
WHO taught you that?' cried Often
bach IN rage.
! No one,' replied Blum 81 have
known it for ages and they all agreed
that their nurses used to sing it to
them when they were children Pres
emily Albert Wolff, who was one of the
party, began to sing another of the
airs.
'What!' cried Offenbach, you know
that too?"
Il composed it myself" said Wolff.
Offenbach then saw that they were
playing practical joke on him and de-
manded the name of the singer who
had sung them the opera. They re-
fused, and so the composer threatened
that he would fine every one in the
theater unless they told him. So Blum
and his friends stood up and began
the first chorus of the first act and de-
clared they would sing the finale before
the whole cafe unless Offenbach re-
Tented. The composer, in terror for
his music, gave in, beaten by his own
facility in writing music.
