HIS JUDGMENT AT FAULT.
One Instance Where 6alzac Failed as
Graphologist.

If there was one thing upon which
Balzac flattered himself more than
another it was his skill in reading
character from handwriting.
But he made sad mistake on one
occasion. A lady brought him an ex-
tract from the exercise book of 12-
year-old schoolboy. and asked him for
an opinion as to the youngsters char
acter and prospects. Balzac inquired
whether the child was her own. An.
swered in the negative, he examined
the exercise carefully and delivered
his judgmnt
Madame" he said, this child is
thick-headed and frivolous. He will
never come to any good II he were
my child | would take him from school
and put him to the pillow"
Then 1t was explained to the novel
LIST that the specimen on which he had
pronounced so severely was one of
his own which had been discovered
hidden away between the leaves of an
old lesson book.

FIRED UPON THE OFFICERS.
Private Account of the Tragedy at
Libau, Russia.

London.--The Morning Post, from
private sources, gives an account of
the recent outbreak at Libau, accord
ing to which the first naval mutiny
led to twenty-three men being con-
demned to death. The attempt to
carry out the sentences of death pro-
voked still more serious signs of mu-
tiny, whereupon the port commander
ordered executions to be stopped, and
applied to st. Petersburg for instruc-
tions. The government replied that
all mutineers must be shot, and a
shooting party was formed, but when
the order to fire was given the firing
squad turned and fired on the officers
instead of on the condemned mutt
neers, and dozen officers fell dead.
Other troops, including Cossacks. the
account says, were summoned, and
serious conflict developed in which be-
tween twenty and thirty Cosacks
were killed before the Statiny,, was
quelled.

cas.Raised Ducks.

"Out in the natural gas region Of
Pennsylvania" said a man from that
locality, there are many large duck
farms, at which the ducks are Matched
by incubators. Gas is cheap there
and they pipe it about into the most
unexpected places. So, when the lit
tie ducklings arrive in this cold world
they are put in bin in which a gas
jet is kept burning for warmth. When
they are large enough they are put in
large, open pens out of doors, but If a
gas jet is not lighted in that pen at
night there is a panic, and a duck
panic results in so many broken legs
and wings that the duck farmers of
that region have to keep a night lamp
burning in the duck pens all night

Nature,s Armored crulsers.

Some of the papers are poking fun
at the story which comes from the Bay
of Biscay of crabs weighing sixteen
pounds and possessing claws eighteen
inches in circumference. The joke
would have seemed the funnier, per-
haps, had the crabs been described as
opening and eating oysters. AS a mat
ter of fact, there is a species which
does crack cocoanuts. AS students of
Darwin will remember, this extraordi-
nary creature grows to an enormous
size; so large is it that in the larger
ones there is sufficient fat to yield a
quart of palm-oil, derived from their
diet of cocoa-nut. These nuts they
first denude of their tough fibrous COW
ering, then with their hammer-like
claws beat upon the shell until an
opening is made, and the rest is sim
pie. These giants live on land, but
battle each night in the sea.-Montreal

THIRTY MINERS DOOMED.
All Hope of Escape for Imprisoned
Men is Abandoned.

Dortmund, Prussia.--A fire has
broken out in the Borussia coal mine,
caused by the careless handling of a
lamp by boys. The lamp exploded,
igniting the timbers of the shaft,
which burned rapidly. Two hundred
and fifty miners escaped through an
air shaft, but thirty-nine were cut of
and their death is regarded as certain.
The work of rescue is attended
with great danger owing to the pres
ence of poisonous gases and six of
the rescuers are reported missing.
The ground over the mine is sinking
gradually with a sound like that of
thunder as the supporting tlmbers of
the mine are being burned away.
Great crowds of women and chill
dren are standing about the mine in a
drenching rain. hoping for the rescue
OF hubands and fathers.

New-laid eggs can be preserved for
months by smearing the shells Of
them with pure glycerine on the same
day that the eggs are laid. 1t is best
to place them in a position with the
smaller end up. Pure glycerine is
much better than butter or grease, as
it never turns rancid and thus avoids
the chance of spelling the flavor OF
the eggs.

ROBERTS SPRINGS SENSATION.
Says Military Force of England is
Entirely Inadequate.

London.-Field Marshal Lord Rob
erts created a sensation in the house
of lords Monday evening, when, in a
lengthy and well considered speech,
he deliberately expressed his opinion
as a practical soldier that the military
force of Great Britain was inadequate,
imperfectly trained and totally unfit
to uphold Great Britain as a frst-class
power. Lord Roberts did not blame
the government, which he said was
actuated by a national feeling, but he
scathingly attacked the people of
England, who, he said, showed no ma
tional feeling toward the military un-
I'll danger arose. Then, said Lord
Roberts, the soldier was the pet of
the people, but this was only an eva
nescent enthusiasm which did not en-
tail self-sacrifice, and passed away as
soon as the danger disappeared.
