Fleeing De Maupa.sant.

It is said that the Norman peasants
hit upon a happy scheme of fleeing
Guy de Maupassant, who once main
tanned near his home at Etretat a rab-
bit warren of a few acres They used
to plant choice vegetables and rare
shrubs in the adjoining fields, and ev-
cry year De Maupassant had to pay
for the damage done by his rabbits.
After a few years he got tired Of this
sort Of thing. He computed that the
few rabbits he shot cost him about
500 apiece, which was rather too much
even for an enthusiastic sportsman to
pay; so he determined to destroy his
game preserve. There were only four
or five burrows in the Enclosure, and a
few ferrets soon dislodged all the in
habitants.
One night after the rabbits had been
destroyed the writer happened to visit
his former preserve and detected a
man skulking along under the trees,
with large bag slung over his sh0ul-
der. De Maupassant supposed that the
man had come to steal wood and chal-
lenged him. The supposed thief took
to his heels, leaving behind him his
bag, which was found to be filed with
rabbits of both sexes. The man was
an honest neighbor, who, shrewdly
reasoning that there could be no dam
ages if there were no rabbits, had
thought it advisable to restock the
warren himself.

It is the fashion for Portuguese
Nocks to strike the hour twice over.
Heaven only knows why, for certainly
the people are not so keen about the
profitable use of their time that they
require to be reminded thus of its
flight. The habit is apt to be irritating,
especially in the night, when your bed,
like enough a straw mattress and a
bran pillow, chances to be near one of
these monsters which dings its four
and twenty strokes at midnight, with
a pause between the dozens which
merely stimulates expectation. If there
are five clocks in the establishment, all
with sonorous works-and the Supposi-
ton is reasonable-they will, of course,
differ widely, so that twenty-four may
be striking, with intervals, during a
maddening half hour.
You may happen to want to know
badly which one of the monsters is the
least mendacious, and the bells at your
bed head communicate with two serY-
ants, one a Gallego and the other a
Portuguese. In such a case ring for the
despised stranger without hesitation.
He will be with you in minute, fresh
and smiling, though half naked, and
if he distrusts his own judgment about
the clocks he will not mind saying so
and hasten to awaken the landlord
himself rather than that you should
remain in doubt.
regret to add that his more conceit-
ed fellow servant will more probably
say whatever first comes to his tongue,
more heedful of his own comfort than
of your desires.-Chambers Journal.

The Last G1adiatoria1 Combat.

Gladiatorial games were prohibited
by an edict of the Emperor Constan-
tine in A. d. 1876, but from some cause,
probably the loudly expressed disap-
probation of the people, the edict was
allowed to fall into disuse, and it's pen
alties were never visited on its vio-
lators. During the reign of Honorius
the defeat of the Goths in Italy was
celebrated by games, but in the midst
of the fights in the amphitheater of
Vespasian monk named Telemachus
found his way into the arena and part
ed the combatants with a large pro-
cessional cross.
The populace swarmed over the bar
ricades and tore the monk to pieces,
but the moral effect of the heroic act
was permanent, and in A. d. 404 an
imperial edict abolished gladiatorial
sports in the Coliseum and shortly aft
er throughout the Roman empire. The
fight stopped by Telemachus was the
last In the Coliseum, and that structure
is now consecrated to the honor of
Telemachus and the Christian martyrs
who persisted in the prosecutions by
Nero and other emperors.

Bridget, the pretty young maid of all
work employed in a Boston family
confided to her mistress when taking
service that she had lately become en-

she wished to be earning money.
When Tim made his first call one
evening, the family remarked that they
had never known so quiet man. The
sound of Bridget's voice rose now and
then from the kitchen, but Tins words
were apparently few and far between

Coins and Odors.

Coins fresh from the mint have nc
smell, but after they have been in circu-
lation for short time they emit char
acteristic odor. Why is this?
Metals do not give forth an odor OF
themselves, or, at any rate, not one that
can be detected in the state in which we
generally handle them. The smell, as a
matter of fact, is due to the chemical ac-
ton of the acids that exude from our
hands. Take bronze coin, clean it and
lay it on a clean surface in the air; it will
emit no smell. Handle it for a minute or
so, and you will detect the familiar odor
of pennies and half pennies. Silver has
a different odor from copper after han
ding.
Aluminium, tin and zinc will emit the
same kind Of smell when rubbed with the
hand, but this Is not like the smell of
bronze or copper, which, again, are alike.

In Silence Golden OF Is 1t Foolish
and UnsOcIaI?
Is the old figure of golden silence
being washed away in the flood Of
twentieth century volubility? And is
it right that it should be so washed
away? We do not know the answers
to these questions. Perhaps you, gen
tie reader, know and will tell. We dc
know that there Is good deal more

forbears If you don't believe this, &c

a certificate of sanity in case the libra
rian became alarmed at the request.
The old timers used to tell the youth
of the land to consider if what they
were about to say were not only true
and tried" but also necessary" The
idea held for quite a time that it was
as reprehensible to waste words as tC
dissipate wealth.
Our old friend Montaigne, however
had tender place in his heart for the
talker. He declared, "The most nat

is conversation, and find the use of il
more sweet than any other action in
life."
In some quarters members of the fem

sian Court Dignitary.
When Johann Strauss took his or
ehestra to Russia, he had some unusu-
al experiences not generally vouchsaf-
ed to those who live outside an auto
cratic government.
One day he received the czarina'S
commands to play before her at her
summer resort and was told, on arriv-
ing there, that he would have to re-
hearse his programme three times be-
fore the performance. He begged TO
know the reason for that, but no ex-
PLANTATION was given him. These were
her majesty's orders, and he could only
comply. Still, his establishment grew
when he saw during the three rehear-
sails an empty court carriage drawn by
q pair of horses slowly going back and
forth in front of his orchestra.
Throughout the final performance
the mysterious act was explained. The
empress, having a sharp attack Of govt,
was obliged to recline in the carriage,
her foot on a cushion, while the con-
cert took place, and the object of re-
hearsal had been to accustom the
horses to a full string band lest they
should take fright and bolt with her.
At the end of the performance an ex-
allied dignitary of the court babe
Strauss follow him to a splendid grand
piano, saying:
"Now be good enough to play me all

Although he was pretty fatigued by
his three rehearsals and state perform

comply, but after he had played con-

be found in the pure bred strain Of
Polled Durham cattle. The subject OF
originating a breed Of Polled Short
horns was agitated fifteen or twenty
years ago and eliminated In the Polled
Durham breed which we have today.
The process followed was to take the
best mulley cows to be found among
the common stock and breed to pure
bred Shorthorn bulls, saving the polled
heifers produced from this union and
breeding back to pure bred Shorthorn
bulls. This process was followed con-
stantly, eliminating the common stock
blood and preserving the polled charac-
teristic until for all practical purposes
they were pure bred Shorthorns.
While this process was going on a
pure bred Shorthorn COW in Lorain
county, o., gave birth to twin heifer
calves from Shorthorn bull that were
hornless. About the same time pure
bred Shorthorn bull calf was dropped
without horns. These polled pure
breds, which were in reality "sports,"
were mated, the offspring from them
that were polled were saved, and from
those three calves there are today sew

A Diplomatic Soldier.

According to the Paris Figaro, it was at
Compiegne that the king of Rome, 1.-THE
Eaglet," granted the first petition that
was presented to him. He had reached the
mature age of six months when an old
soldier who had already received many
favors from the emperor decided that he
wanted more and thought it would be a
good scheme to address his petition to the
heir to the throne and thus work on Ma
poleon's sympathies. He addressed his
petition to his majesty, the king Of Rome.
Napoleon smiled when he read the ad-
dress and ordered the Duke of Frioul to
take the paper to the king and read it to
him. This was done with due solemnity
and state, and the duke returned to the
emperor.
"What did his majesty sayT asked
Napoleon.
Nothing" replied the duke.
"SiIence gives consent" said the en-
peror. "See that this old rascal Of SOL
der gets what he wants."
