PLOTS AGAINST LOUIS PHILIPPE.
Several Attempts Upon the Life of the
King of the French.


King of the French.
Louis Philippe, king of the French,
after experiencing several minor at
tempts ON his life, was nearly murder
ed July 2S, 1885. The day was one of
the three appointed to commemorate
the revolution of 1880. The king was.
with three OF his sons, taking part in
a procession, and while riding along
the bouleyards a violent explosion is
sued from a window overlooking the
line OF route. Happily, the king himself
and the princes escaped uninjured,
though fourteen persons were killed
outright and forty others wounded. On
investigation the discharge was discov.
cred to have come from a machine con-
structed of twenty-four musket bar
rels, laid horizontally on a single frame
and so adjusted as to be raised or low

simultaneously. The window behind
which this deadly continuance was
placed. stood open. but Persian blinds
not opened until the moment of dis

gaze. 1t Is probable. that. owing to
some delay in removing the blinds, the
life Of Louis Philippe was saved. lie

occurred, actually wounding Che horse
he rode. The man who was guilty of
the outrage, a Corsiean named Fleschl,
was seized and subsequently guillo-
tined. Three more attempts were made
on the life of the same monarch. One
by the discharge Of a walking stick gun
into his carriage June %, 1896: an
other, at Fontalneblean. in April. 1916;
while the third and final act OF the
kind may be recorded as having hap
pened when the king was standing on
the balcony Of The Tnlerles one day in

PRAYED FOR OLD TROUSERS.
Old Servitor Cannot Live In Peace
without His Official Pants

without HI. Official Pants.
A most curious petition for imperial
grace reached Emperor Francis JOSEPH
from the small town OF Czernonwltz
The former messenger OF the court
house there asked his majesty to save
his pants. pants he had worn ten
years, and which his superior officer
ordered hImIto give up upon the day he
was pensioned.
Il have served your majesty faithful
ly for forty-two years. five months and
six days" wrote the petitioner. "and TO
be deprived Of my official pants In my
old age Is great hardship, that your
imperial ma iesty will not lnflct upon
an old soldier, am sure. when | was
pensloned Off. the court decided to let
Inc retain my cap, but the pants, it said,
must be restored to the state. Having
only this one pair OF pants. | refused to

The emperor made haste to telegraph

a gain In time will be made ultimately
10 by no means unreasonable Roughly
speaking, twenty hours sfrom New
York TO Chicago would mean an ever,
age speed OF forty-fye miles an hour.
1t might probably be Increased to fifty

be thus reduced to eighteen hours. but
the greatest saving would have TO be
made In the connections In Chicago
and In the rkte Of speed westward
The lines from Chicago to the Pacific
coast fall considerably below forty
miles an hour with their fastest trains
aud though they have an. admirable
service now there can be no question
about their ability to Increase their
speed TO an average that would accom-
plish the desired result In spite of the
fact that they have a great deal of

DOMsSTiCS IN AFRICA.


Most Work Done by kaffir Boys Who
Take "wbite" Names.
An amusing picture OF domestic CON

manager Of a mine In South Africa, and
both husband and wife lived there for
several years. In recalling the donies-

she says:
