Tie ceremonial that the revolution
swept away the first Emperor Napo-
leon was careful to revive i'll a less eX-
trcmc form, and it is characteristic of
the man that he made q special study
of it and went SO far as to prescribe
the special forms to be observed on
great occasions Before his coronation
NJ ISabey, the miniature painter, gave
seven rchearsals with wooden dolls APP
propriately dressed of the seven cere-
monies that were to be enacted. And,
one ceremony being especially intri-
cate, the functionaries rehearsed it in
person i'll the gallery of Diana at the
Tuileries, plan having been carefully
traced with chalk on the floor.
This was the sort of thing in which
Napoleon especially rejoiced, and he
himself arranged beforehand all the
details of the entry of Maria Louisa
into France and of his subsequent mar
riage with her. Among other particu-
lars, on reaching what was then
French territory the archduchess was
conducted into the eastward room of Il
three roomed house near Braunau. The
French commissioner entered the west
ward, while the third room in the mid
die was occupied by the rest of the
party. And NJ. de Bausset, who gives
an account Of the proceedings, having
bored holes with 4 gim!et in the door
Of the middle room, had a splendid
view Of the unconscious princess. But,
he quantity adds, it was the ladies who
took most advantage of his fore
thought.-London Standard.

THE GAME OF LIFE.
Your own Resolution, and NOT Fate
IlcnIS thc Cnrils

Your own Resolution, and &oc Fate,
Deals ihc Cards.
Many a man has tried to justify his
failure on the ground that he was
doomed by the cards which fate dealt
him. that he must pick them up and
play the game and that no effort, how
ever great, on his part could materially
change the result. But, my young
friend, the fate that deals Your cards
is in the main your own resolution.
The result of the game does not rest
with fate or destiny, hut with you
You will take the trick if you have the
superior energy, ability and determine
ton requisite to take it. You have the
power within yourself to change the
value. of the cards which, You say, fate
has dealt you. The game depends upon
your training, upon the way you are
disciplined to seize and use your OPP
portunitie5 and upon your ability to
put grit in the place of superior advan-
tages.
Just because circumstances do some
times give clients to lawyers and pa
tients to physicians, put commonplace
clerGymen in uncommon pulpits and
place the SONS of the rich ut the head
Of great corporations even when they
have only average ability and scarcely
any experience, while poor youths
with greater ability and more expert
ence often have to fight their way for
years to obtain ordinary situations,
are you justified in startinG out with
out chart or in leaving Il place for
luck in your pro ramme? What would
you think of the captain Of great
liner who would start out to sea with
out any port in view and trust to luck
to land his precious cargo safely?
Did you ever know of strong young
man making out his life programme
and depending upon chance to carry
out any part Of it? Men who depend
upon luck" do not think it worth
while to make thorough preparation
for success. They are not willing to
pay the regular price for it. They are
looking for bargains. They are hunting
for short cuts to success.
Power gravtates to the man who
knows how. Luck is the tide, nothing
more The strong man rows with it il

against it If it flows the other way

They Took Them All.

When the boys returned from their
camping trip and the remnants of their
equipment were unpacked the mother
noticed that the large box of pepsin
tablets which she had added to the
equipment in moment of thoughtful
ness was missing She asked the
eighteen year-old about it at the dinner
table
"Why, we took them ALL" he said.
Something in his voice made her pur-
sue her inquiry.
"But you said you were all well?"
I'VE were"
"And you never take the tablets at
home, even when want you to-
emo"
"And there were enough of them TO
last several men longer than you were

Yes, yes. Well, it was this way:

genius as his novels are. The season

Circumstances beyond our control
sometimes oblige us to meet brilliant
people. Secretly we may feel a desire
to avoid them, but there is a certain
pride which compels us to appear at
ease in their company even though we
never were more uncomfortable. The
man who bristles with information
may not be unnecessarily unkind. We
are, 1t Is true, obliged to listen to him,
and it Is always wise to be on our
guard against revealing the fact that
we know anything at all lest he have
the opportunity, which he dearly loves,
of correcting us. We can i'll a measure
throw ourselves on his mercy, and if
we have an ordinary constitution we
may happily survive his attacks of
knowledge But when a brilliant per
son rises upon our horizon there is lit
tie hope for us. If he does not hull us
at once With straight shot he will
worry us to death by a fusillade Of
repartee and leave us a wreck to drift
away to some friendly port of dizziness
where we can be nursed back to our
mediocre cXiStencc.-Life.

JEWISH IIUMOR.

Renan said of the Jews. The Sem
ltic people are almost entirely without
the power to laugh" Surely had he
looked for traces of Jewish humOr in

to have awarded TO him the grand
medals of pain ans misery" Leopold
HunZ said almost the same words or
the whole Hebrew people, IF there are
ranks in suffering, Israel takes precc-
dence of all the nations" The humur
Of Israel is favored with bitterness and
plays round the greater subjects az
thought and of speculation; plays like
the humOr of Il man in pain.
Listen to the lament of Il satirIst
born at Aries in 1857 who finds tlR
works of the Jewish law an intolerable
burden and seems to have come, like
Heine, to the bitter conclusion that
Judaism is not religion, it is mis-
fortune"

for the army and then for the law.
But the accuracy with which the
eclipse was predicted impressed him

voted his life to it. The debt of as
tronomy to Tycho Brahe not only fot

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.
More Lives Lost in Celebrating 1t than
Achieving Inde pendance.

Achieving Independence.
1t will come with something of a sur
prise to many persons to be told that
more lives have been sacrificed in ceIe-
brating the Fourth of July than in gain
ing independence. The annual casualties
in America from Independence day cele-
brations exceed those of any battle of
the revolution. Every year vast num-
bers of persons, mostly children, are kill
ed or injured for life in an attempt to
show their patriotism.
Up to Wednesday night statistics com
piled by the Chicago Tribune showed
that the Fourth of July celebration this
year had cost 50 persons their lives.
while the number of persons who were in-
jured aggregated 3, 1859 Every year the
nation pays tribute in blood because of
an utterly irrational method of celebrat-
ing the Fourth of July. 1t is gratifying
to observe. however, that in all the large
cities there is a reaction against the pres
ent senseess way Of observing the Re
public's natal day. The time is not dis
tant, it appears, when the law will be
invoked everywhere to secure a rational
celebration. In New York this year the
Fourth Of July observance actually began
several days before the anniversary ar
rived, much to the discomfort of resi-
dents. To have a week of GLORIOUS
Fourth" is a barbarity to which no COM
munity should submit. So great has be-
come this American peril that some of
the best men in the country are taking
radical measures to eradicate the nui-
sance.
The exact total of casualties during
the Revolutionary war is not known. but
from losses in individual encounters of
which we have figures it is found that
the dead and injured for 1908 far exceed
the numbers who lost their lives in the
battles of Bunker Hill. Brandywine and
Long Island. The total Of casualties in
these three encounters was 1919 killed
and wounded. In 1903 500 persons died
either on July 4 or afterward from in
juries received-priHcipally lockjaw. The
total of injuries all over the country was
1888
Taking the years from 1890 to 1904. it
is found that lilo persons lost their
lives and $1,000 were injured for life.
Some of these people undoubtedly after
ward died from the effects of their in
juries but of these no record has been
taken. 1t is est.mated that 800 persons
during this time lost one or both eyes in
the celebration of the Fourth Of July.
md the number Of those who lost limb
or both limbs was about 25O
One Of the most dangerous Of all
classes of fireworks is undoubtedly the

recurring Fourth Of July.
