A Clever French Captive.

A person who was supposed to be the
French General Mouton, count de Lo-
bau, was once captured by an English
vessel. but after time the captain dis
covered that his prisoner was the
Count de MOntrOnd. why did you de-
ceive me-" he demanded angrily Of the
count II did not deceive you," replied
Montrond; mot at all. You thought
was General Mouton. You told me so.
You have a fifty gun frigate. Was it
for me, who have only pocket pistol,
to contradic4 you"
The captain did not forgive Montrond
and took every opportunity to treat
him rudely. One evening at dinner
some one proposed the health Of the
French. AS Montrond rose to acknow-
edge it the captain cried: They are all
towards! make no exceptionsw
When Montrond's turn came he gave
this sentiment: THE English-they are
all gentlemen. but l make exceptions"

Ops,a Under DimcuItie-.

Signor .Arditi tells the following story
In his autobiography: During my first
long stay in America our company was
announced for one night. during ter
ribly cold winter ut Washington. Shall
l ever forget the bitter cold of that sea
SOM 1t was as though we had sudden
ly been transported to the arctic re-
giOns, and the theater in which we had
our performance was as inadequate to
cope with the frost as though we had
fixed up a summer tent for the purpose.
Norma was the opera, and Grisi, in
stead of appearing in her traditional
white robe with flowing folds, was
compelled to come on the stage wear
ing huge fur cloak in which she was
huddled up almost to her eyes. The
house only really rose to the occasion
with loud bursts Of laughter when
Mario made. his entrance holding a
coachman's umbrella over his head
he, as Polio, being confronted by Nor
ma in their tragical meeting - under
which >pr5saic safeguards both artists
covered while singing their grand duo
The roof of the theater had given way
under the weight of heavy fall of
snow, and it's coating of ice, melting
under the heat Of the gas, was stream,
ing down on the artists"

How Green Turtles Feed.

The green turtles of southern Flor
ida live in deep water and feed on sea
plants, mostly the kind called turtle
grass" which they cut off near the
roots eating the lower parts and leav-
ing the tops floating SO that 1t collects
in great fields and marks the spots
where the animals are to be hunted
for by the fishermen. After browsing
on such ocean pastures the green tur-
ties go to the mouths Of rivers for
baths of fresh water, which they seem
to need from time to time. The Flor
ida fishermen say the reptiles enter the
creeks and roll together masses Of
grass, cementing them into balls with
clay. When the turn of the tide takes
the balls out to sea they follow them.
The fishermen watch for such balls
floating down the creeks, and when
they see them they stretch nets across
the mouths of the streams and always
catch the turtles. -.

How Indian MADE Maple S..g1-.

Ever since the indians IN Inc Hpct.un
of Vermont now known as Fletcher
discovered honey" in the maple trees
that district has been known far and
wide as the heart of the Vermont suS
ar country. The way the red men eX-
tracted the delicious compound was
somewhat slow as compared with the
present process. He used to cut a
slantfng cash in the bark ana insert
In the lower end Il gauge shaped piece
of wood from which the sap ran and
dropped into a poplar or Eastwood
trough. At the end of the season
these troughs would be set up against
the trees and left until the following
season, by which time the troughs
would be thoroughly widowed. -..
This materially. added to the flavor
of the aboriginal sugar, but can hardly
be said to have improved it. The
evaporator of those times consisted of
an iron kettle swung from a sapling
bent over stump. By slow and
tedious process the sap was first heat
ed and then boiled in this kettle. often
taking two or three days boiling be-
fore it could be sugared off. This was
the way in which the redskins and the
early Vermonters eked out a sweet
min" of their tea and johnnycake.

In medieval times Africa was an
unknown continent as well as Asia
Until few years after the discovery
of Columbus no one had sailed around
1t, and 1t was quite generally thought
as 1t had previously been thought in
regard to. Asia, that the African cont
nent extended on and on indefinitely
1t was supposed that far to the south
was the zone of heat, in which no hui
man being could live. This was by nc
means an unreasonable inference tC
the ancients. They knew that the far
Their they sailed to the north the colder
1t grew and that in the extreme north
was a region of perpetual ice and snow
They also knew that the farther they
sailed to the south the warmer it grew
and what was more natural for then
to suppose that If they went far enough
tn that direction they would come upon
lands that were parched and baked
and upon seas that boiled, where moth
ing could live but salamanders?

He Could Weld an AZ.

Queer and racy are the tales told OF
the skill of the Maine shipbuilders in
the use of the adj and broadax. One
old time yarn Is of carpenter who ap
piled very drunk at a shipyard for EN-
ployment. rs In order to have little fur
with i'm the foreman set him to give q
proof: of his skill by hewing out a
wooden bolt with no chopping blocH
but stone. The carpenter accomplish
ed his difficult task without marring
the, keen edge Of the broadax and
showed the foreman a neatly made
bolt. Then he brought the ak down
with a terrific blow that shattered its
edge upon the stone. Il can hew fust
rate on your chopping lVck." he hic
coughed, "but I'll be blamed If l car
make the ak stick in it when gil
through" The story runs that the
foreman lost no time In employing
such workman.

Pausanius, the Greek general, died
by self administered poison. When
hotly pursued by those sent to appre-
bend him on a charge of treason and
sacrilege he took refuge in the sane
tuary of a temple. Unable to remove
him by force and also unwilling to
violate the sanctuary, the officers
walled up the entrance and began to
unroof the building. When he could
be seen they noticed that he was chew
ing something which proved to be a
quill filled with poison. By the time
the work had sufficiently advanced to
admit of their entrance he was in a
dying condition.

In China. The girls in that country
seldom go to school unless they are the
children of very rich people. School
work begins before daylight, and after
studying their lessons. aloud for two
hours the pupils recite them. They
then go home to breakfast, after which
they return and study again till din
ner time. In the afternoon they go
again to school to prepare lessons for
the following day. BY this time 1t is
night, This goes on every day of the
