A SWORD OF HONOR.

shall Ney TO Death.

1T Was the Means of Bringing Mar.
shall Ney to Death.
A saber of honor brought Marshal
Ney to dishonor and death When Ma
pOleOn entered Cairo on the 22d of July,
1913, he was presented with three
swords of honor richly inlad with pre-
ciOus stones. He brought them back
to Europe, and in 1902 he gave one to
Ney and another to Murat, keeping the
third for himself. Ney received his at
an imperial reception. The sword
passed from one to another Of those
present. among whom was young
subaltern of the Auvergne regiment.
When Napoleon escaped from Elbe,
Ney left the king and took sides with
his former chief. After the allies en-
tered Paris. Ney made preparations to
get out of the country, but his wife and
friend persuaded him that there was
really no danger, and he decided to re-
main in France. Then came the order
for his arrest. He fed to a castle in
the possession Of some friends and sue
ceeded in reaching it without his pres
tired, he threw himself on a couch, first
taking off his oriental sword which he
always wore out Of affection for the
emperor. Hearing voices, he sprang
up and hurriedly left the room, forget
ting his sword. A minute later par
ty Of women and men entered the room,
one of them being the young subaltern
Of the Auvergne regiment, now colo
mel. He at once recognized the sword
and, calling in some gendarmes, pro-
ceeded to search the premises. Finding
that he was discovered, Ney gave him
self up quietly. On Dee. I, 1915, the
marshal, whose sobriQuet was the
Bravest of the Brave the hero of a
hundred battles, was shot. Scarcely
two months after the owner of the sec
ond sword, Murat, had met his fate in
the same way.

There Is only one way to cnre deafness,
and that is by constitution remedies.
Deafness is cansed by an inf1amed con-

unless the inflammation can be taken out

An AlIiterativc Poem on Pigs,

One Of the book collectors of Phila-
delpha has IN his library a volume Of
Latin jokes that was printed in Ger
many in 1903, says the Philadelphia
Record. The name of this volume is
"Nug@ Venales," and it contains a
poem 800 lines long wherein every
word-every single word-begins with
the letter ''p."
Even the title page of the poem con-
tains only ''p's." 1t reads:
"Pugna Porcorum, per Publium Por
cium, Poetam" C"The Battle of the
Pigs" by Publius Poreius, poeD.
Here are two lines of the poem that
show how strange ALTERATION, so heav-
lily laid on, appears:
Perlege porcorum pulcherrima proelia,
potor;
Potando poteris placidam proferre poesim.
Almost incredible is the patience that
must have been required to compose
this work of 1900 words, every one of
which begins with a p

HIS PRETENsIONs SMASHED
Moorish Pretender's Army Defeated by the
Sultan and Practically Annihilated--
Pretender Nav he Dead,

Tangier, Feb. 2.-The sultan's troops
have utterly routed the forces of the
Moorish pretender and, it was report
ed captured Blu Hamara himself, but
this was later denied. A special courier
who arrived yesterday after making
record journey from Fee brought this
news. He reports that at daybreak
last Thursday the army of the sui
tan, commanded by the war minis
fer Ell Menebhi, attacked the pre-
tenders position and inflicted a COM
plete defeat On his following.
Another runner who has arrived here
from Fee confirms the news Of the de-
feat Of the rebels. He adds that it is
uncertain whether Blu Hamara's body
was among the great number slain.
The sultan's victory was absolute, al
most the enEire following of the pre-
tender being either slain or captured.
His camp, provision and ammunition
were taken and the artillery which
was lost by the sultan's army in the
battle of Dec. 23, was recaptured.

at the Scene.

Waterbury. Conn. Feb 2. = Eight

necticut National Guard and five COM

erbury last night at the command Of
Governor Chamberlain. because Of
"the imperative need" OccasiOned by
the trolley strike situation. The riot
about the streets Saturday night
coupled with threats Of further dis
turbances, led to the call for troops.
There was no repetition yesterday Of
the violence of Saturday night, but
crowds congregated about the streets,
and had to be dispersed by the police,
while there were rumors of an attack
to be made 1T night on the car barns,
where the non-union motOrmen and
conductors are quartered.
Cars Operated During Daylight
During the day all the lines were
operated as usual with the nOn-union
men, but though there was some boot
ing and jeering from the crowds the
cars were not mOlested. No cars were
run after dark. Companies G and A,

What Happened Saturday Night.
The trolley strike condition Satur-
day night reached the proportions Of
a general riot. Every car sent out
from the barns was greeted with vol
leys of stones at various points, and
no car escaped without broken win
doWs. Thousands Of people filled the
streets, and the police were pOWerless
to control the mob. and were at length
forced to request the Connecticut Rail
way and Lighting company officials to
call in their cars. The request was COM
piled with and the last car pulled intQ
the barn at 11:15 D. ~, escorted by
the police. One motorman was injured
so severely by Il stone that Il car start
err had to take his place. Others were
badly hurt.

When Zee Covered Esurope.

During the long tertiary epoch. when
oposSums dsported themselves on the
site of Paris and mastodons tramped
along the valley of the Thames. the
earth was il the throes of mountain
making. The Alps, the Himalayas.
the Alleghanies. the Andes, attest the
power of her activity in those days. At
their termination our continents stood
greatly higher than they do now. and
this aided their glaciation. although il
does not fully account for it.
But as they became loaded with ice
Europe and America gradually, and we
may venture to say contemporaneously
sank. This was inevitable. Owing to
the extreme heat and pressure prevail
ing in its interior the earth is an en-
inently elastic body. Its surface ac-
tually bulges in or out with very
slight increase or decrease of the load
upon it.-Edinburgh Review.
