BIT OF FRENCH HISTORY.
An Empire Lost FOR Want Of the

An old ieisald which makes no pre-

lost for want Of Il horseshoe nail. But
4 volHne "a sober historical and bio
graphical purpose. written by Count
d'Herrfson. fsalses il appear that the
Empress EEes ME, after the battle Of
Sedan, lost the chance To preserve the
empire OF her husband by not possess
liz exactly the right sort "a riding
habit. II was the evening OF Sept. 8,
1870.
The news Of the irrender Of the
French army and Of the Emperor Mn
poleon at Sedan had spread about Par
is. The city was excited, and there
was talk of d revolution and the BAN
ishment Of the imperial family. At
this jancture Emile dc Girardin, a man
who was trusted by the empress and
who had had no little experience dur.
Ing the previous changes Of govern
ment, arrived at tile palace of the Tui-
leries. IF your majesty were to appear
on horseback In the midst Of the peo-
pie Girardin said. .and announce the
abdication of the emperor in favor Of
the prince imperial, your w assump.
ton Of the title Of empress regent and
the appointment of Theirs as prime
minister. the empire might be saved.
Something must be done to turn the
tide"
The empress accepted the advice. But
when this leader Of the worlds fashion
sought for a proper costume for her
! performance II could not be found.
The only riding habit In the Tuilerics
was a fantastic one OF green, embroid-
cred with gold and silver, made for a
festal hunting occasion, and the hat
was a not less fantastic three cornered
| affair of the epoch Of Louis Quinze.
The empress felt that It would not do
| to appear In this garb OF such an occa-
sion. Her appearance In 1t might have
the opposite effect upon the people
from that which she intended. The
plan had to be given up, the empress
and the prince imperial were banished
and the Napoleonic empire was at IN
| end.

CHINESE TRADE UNIONS.
How the Guilds Govern the citlcs Of
the CeiestiaIs.

The handsomest buildings In China,
excepting the great temples. are the
guild-halls. The Chinese are past mas
ters In trade organizations. Every In
dustry is a simple but effectively or
ganized guild, and the guild-halls of
some of the richer trades in Canton
are superb. Even In the north 1t
would be hard to find anything to sur.
pass the greenfield, exclusively ornate
middle gateway Of one of the guild
halls in Chefoo. The guild idea is
highly developed, too, even to the ex-
tent of profit sharing by employees.
The beggars and thieves have their
carefully governed guilds, as well as
the carpenters and the silk dealers.
A nonunion beggar will be driven out
or quickly made away with. The beg
ging business Is handled with scien-
tiflc precision, the vagabonds making
regular rounds, pounding tins, throw
ing offal, and otherwise making life
impossible for reluctant givers. A
regular payment to the head of the
guild secures immunity. There is a
considerable admission fee charged to
cuuuiuhteS loT membership III inc DtB-
gar guild. II is largely by means of
the guild organizations that a Chinese
city Is governed. In Canton, for ex-
ample, each guild has its own street
and, of course, its own elders. For
the maintenance of the street, its
cleanliness, the preservation of order
in 1t, the heads of the guild are re-
sponslble. Accordingly, at night one
finds gates locked at each end of the
street, and passing down one of the
great streets where trade succeeds
trade, requires a continuous squeez-
ing through half-locked gates. Any
crime committed In the street of the
Jade stone workers would be laid at
their door, and they would have to
produce the criminal or a substitute.
Municipal orders would reach the guild
members through their elders, with
whom alone the government deals
Even the guild of thieves finds its
place in the Chinese civil system. The
head thief occupies a semioflicial posi-
tion in South China, at least, for
though he may continue to steal him
self, his punishment is remitted that
he may watch other thieves and be in
position to recover stolen property.

A New York Aidermsn's Experience.
The Sea at Great Depths.

It has been until recently the prev
alent impression that at great depths
In the ocean no organic life could
exist. for no light penetrates there
and the pressure Of waters Is very
great. AS a matter of fact, the pres
sure is SO great that ordinary articles
of wood are compressed for half their
original size If lowered to a depth of
5000 feet. If human being were
suddenly exposed to the pressure of
water at that dept he would be CON-
pressed to the thinness of paper. A
diver at the depth of 10000 feet would
have weight upon him equal to several
hundred of the greatest and heaviest
locomotives. There are depressions
very much deeper, however, and sound
fng5 have been made establishing
depths OF more than $4,000 feet near
the Island of st. Thomas, in the Allan
tic, and of almost $1,000 feet near the
Japanese coast. Great forests of sea-
weeds cover the bottom of the ocean
and reach from the greatest depths
to the surface. In these forests there
is life more diversified than in the
VI INC lIOpiCS. oplutTb
and worm-like animals of enormous
size, infusoriae, crabs, sea urchins,
shells, curstaceans, star-fish, turtles
and millions of other living things of
all kinds find their food in the equally
varied plant life of the deep sea. Deep
sea fish have been brought up in the
deep sea drag net invented by Prince
Albert of Monaco A curious circum-
stance connected with deep sea fish
is that none of these have ever been
brought up alive. Recent deep sea
explorations reveal the fact that the
ocean still contains immeasurable
treasures, which await development
and utilization by human inventive
ness. The most fertile acre of culti-
waited land Is sterile desert COM
pared with one acre Of the surface of
the deep sea bottom.

A Hint to Ad Writcrs.

To use homely illustration, no per.
son would attempt to discuss cake.
baking, all kindsof cakes In all kinds OF
ways, and do 1t all in ten minutes. Yet
that same person will attempt sub
ject in literature or art, or economics
which is quite as broad in its scope,
and far more difficult to expound.
Again, with broad subject, a person
has no idea where to begin, nor where
to leave Off. Ask n skilled engineer
to talk for ten minutes on machinery
and he will be at loss what to
say. Ask him to explain the principle
of the ball governor, and he will give
you a clear explanation Limit your
subject, then, when you aim to make
clear what is not known.-The Chau-
tauquan.
