BIT OF FRENCH HISTORY.
An Empire Lost For Want of the
Right Sort OF Riding Habit.

An old legend which makes no pre-
tense TO truth tells how kingdom was
lost for want of a horseshoe nall. But
volume of sober historical and bio
graphical purpose, written by Count
dHerrison, makes 1t appear that the
Empress Eugene, after the battle of
Sedan, lost the chance to preserve the
empire of her husband by not possess
ing exactly the right sort of riding
habit 1t was the evening of Sept. 8,
1870.
The news of the surrender of the
French army and Of the Emperor Ma
pOleon at Sedan had spread about Par
is. The city was excited, and there
was talk of a revolution and the ban
ishment of the imperial family. At
this juncture Emile de Girardin, man
who was trusted by the empress and
who had had no little experience dur
Ing the previous changes of govern
ment, arrived ut the palace OF the Tui-
leries. IF your majesty were To appear
on horseback In the midst of the pe0-
pie" Girardin said "and announce the
abdication of the emperor In favor of
the prince imperial, your own assump-
tlon of the title of empress regent and
the appointment OF Thiers 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 proper costume for her
performance ii could not be found.
The only riding habit In the Tuileries
WAS 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 II would not do
10 appear In this garb on such an Occa-
sion. Aer 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 an
end

BOY BATTLES.

Let the YOungster Learn to stand UD
For His Rights.
Have you forbidden your son to fight
under severe penalties? And have you
sent him TO public school hampered
by this injunction? This is the infalli-
BILE result: Either he will fight and
deny it to you, which is far more
blameworthy than fighting, or he will,
If strictly obedlent boy, refuse to
fight or to resent imposition, and thus
gain the reputation of "milksop" or
SISSY" and his school days will be
made miserable by the injustice of this
stigma and by the indignities and an
nOyances to which he will be subjected
by his mates. If you find your boy
quarrelsome and inclined to impose
upon other and younger boys punish
him as severely as you wish. l am
fully i'm accord with you there, for a
quarrelsome, tyrannical bully is null
sance in any school; but as long as
there are schools so long will there be
quarrelsome, tyrannical bullies, and
you and l, my dear madam, wish our
boys to take these bullles in hand and
thrash them. Now, isn't that SO?
DO you suppose that Fatty was any
the worse for his fight with Fishy +?
And when, In after years, Fatty be-
came one of the best football players
and cane rushers that Dartmouth col
lege ever boasted and one of the best
business men in New Hampshire is
there any doubt that this fight had
some infiuenee-a slight influence, per-
haps, but still an infiuence-in produc-
ing this development? And do you
suppose that he was any the less a
gentleman and good citizen from
having learned to stand up for his
rights and TO resent improper interfer-
ence with his affairs? Let your boy
learn TO box, to wrestle, to fence, and
so develop every muscle. never yet
saw a boy who knew how TO box
strike with club, a stone or dan
gerous weapon. - Judge Henry A.
Shute in Leslie's Monthly.

SlAMESE BELIEFS.
Some Peculiar Notions of n Very
Superstiti0us People.

THE Siamese are a very superstitious
people" says Ernest Young, author Of
the Kingdom of the Yellow Rule"
"They have many peculiar explana-
tions Of natural phenomena. Thunder.
for instance, is the sky crying. They
horrible giant, whose wife has violent
and uncertain temper. When they quar-
rel the echo of his voice comes In long,
rolling notes from the clouds. II he IL
very angry he throws his hatchet at
his unruly spouse, and when this pom
derous weapon strikes the floor of heav-
ell the thunderbolt Calls through and
comes TO earth.
Failing stars are accounted for by
the fact that the angels occasionally
indulge In torch throwing at one an
other When these same beings all ~
sist upon getting into the bath at once
the water splashes over the side, and 1t
rains. The winds that sigh In the
night are the voices of babies that
have lost their way in their travels to
the land beyond the grave.
"When Slamese dies he Is not buried,
but his corpse, fully dressed and then
wrapped in Il winding sheet, is placed
In sitting posture in copper urn. A
tube is placed in his mouth, and
through this mixture of quicksilver
and honey is poured into the body. In
this way IL is kept for a long time, Of
ten for years. Eventually 1t is burned,
and the ashes are carefully preserved.
The souls of those whose bones at least
are not burned are supposed to become
slaves OF horrid taskmaster with a
head like dog, human body and the
temper of n iend. He sits for all time
with his feet In the fires of hell, and II
is the duty of his slaves to keep these
fires from growing too hot. To do this
they must carry water in open wicker
baskets through all eternity"

The general public, we fear, is not
acquainted with the dangers arising
from arsenic coloring matter in wall
paper. A recent death in Palmer,
Mass, is directly attributed, by the
medical authorities, to this cause. The
trouble which resulted so disastrously
made its appearance a year and half
ago in what seemed to be nervous
dyspepsia. Two months of travel
abroad seemed to greatly improve the
patient, but on returning home he soon
grew worse again. On account of GER
tain conflicting symptoms which could
not be readily accounted for, a special
ist was called in and gave 1t as his opln-
ion that there was arsenic poisoning
in the system. An investigation was
then made which resulted in the dis
covery of arsenic colors in the wall pa
per of the sitting room. This room
had been papered shortly previous to
the appearance of the first symptoms.
The wall paper was at once removed,
but the disease had by this time pro-
gressed so far that IL was impossible
to save tho life of the unfortunate vic
tim. Scientific American.

At a recent meeting of the Californ-
in Methodist Conference at Pacific
Grove Reverend John ID. Hammond,
formerly of Carson, was tried on the
charge of fmisappropriating the funds
of the Methodist Book Concern, un-
ministerial conduct and immortality.
The trial was held with closed doors.
Hammond was acquitted of the charge
of immortality, but censured for the
general gayety of his behavior, and
ordered suspended year from the
ministry, that he may be given time
to reflect and repent.

3 Cents

Eight cents a pound is
what a young woman paid for
twelve pounds of flesh.
She was thin and weak and
paid one dollar for a bottle Of
SCOTS Emulsion, and by TAX
ing regular doses had gained
twelve pounds in weight before
the bottle was finished.
Eight cents a pound is
cheap for such valuable ma
terial. Some pay more, some

The summer vacation of the business
man is fast becoming an established
institution in this country. Not only
is this so, but every employe has his
two weeks in the year. But where
does the farmer come in at? He tolls
from morning until night every day in
the year, and his work is never ended.
Oftimes it runs into the night and he
is up the next morning before day, and
this is invariable the case in harvest
time. If there is any man on earth
who really needs a vacation it is the
farmer and the farmers wife and
daughter.
