NAPOLEON'S ESCAPES.
Reckless Of Danger, the Great So
der Wa Often WOunded

Reckless Of Danger, the Great Sol
der Was Often Wounded.
In reply to the question In what en-
gagements he considered himself to
have been in the greatest danger Of
losing his life Napoleon once said, TN
the commencement of my campaigns y
Indeed, if further proof were demanded
to show that he did not spare himself
at Toulon it is only necessary to add
that during the ten weeks Of its siege
Napoleon, in addition to bayonet
wound in his thigh, had three horses
shot under him, while at the siege Of
Acre during the expedition to Egypt lie
lost no fewer than four in the same
manner.
During the last days Of his life, when
captivity, disappointment and sickness
had well nigh completed their work, it
is said that the agony Of his fatal dis
ease drew from him on many occasions
the pitiful cry of, why did the cannon
balls spare meY'
During his long military career Napo-
leon fought sixty battles, while Caesar
fought but fifty. In the early part Of
his career he was utterly reckless of
danger while on the battlefield, and this
spirit of fearlessness contributed large
" to the love and esteem in which he
was held by his armies. There was a
curious belief among the English in Ma
poleon's time that he had never been
wounded, and indeed the report was
current that he carefully if not in a
cowardly manner refrained from ex.
posing himself. Nothing could be more
contrary to the truth, for he was in re-
atty several times severely wounded,
but as he wished to impress upon his
troops the belief that good fortune new
er deserted him and that, like Achilles,
he was well nigh invulnerable, he al
ways made secret of his many dan
gers. He therefore enjoined once for
all upon the part Of his immediate staff
the most absolute silence regarding all
circumstances of this nature, for it is
almost impossible to calculate the con-
fusion and disorder which would have
resulted from the slightest report or the
smallest doubt relative to his existence.
Upon the single thread of this mans
life depended not only the fate and gov
eminent of great empire, but the
whole policy and destiny of Europe as
well.

NATAL AUTOGRAPHS.
Sign Manual of the Child That Does
Not Change In Life.

Sign Manual of the Child That Does
Not Change In Life.
There is born with every one of us
and continues unchanged during our
lives an unfailing and heradicable
mark or marks, which absolutely dis
tinguish each one of us from every 9TH
er fellow being. These physical marks
never change from the cradle to the
grave. This born autograph is impos-
sible to counterfeit, and there is no du-
plicate Of it among the teeming pillows
in the world. Look at the insides of
your hands and the soles of your feet;
closely examine the ends Of your fln-
gers. You see circles and curves and
arches and whorls, some prominent with
deep corrugations, others minute and
delicate, but all well defined and
closely traced pattern. There is your
physiological signature.
Run your hands through your hair
glass; You see all the delicate tracing
transferred-not two fingers alike Even
1.-THE left hand knoweth not what the
right hand doeth." They are distinctly
different. Even twins may be SO little
different in size, features and general
physical condition as to be scarcely dis
tinguishable, yet their finger auto
graphs are radically different.
In fact in all humanity every being
carries with him on his baby fingers
and his wrinkled hand Of decrepit Old
age the identical curves, arches apd
circles that were born with him. Moth
ing except ACKNOWLEDGMENT can ohlit-
crate or disguise them. Criminals may
burn and scar their hands, but nature,
when she restores the cuticle, invaria-
bly, brings back the natal autograph.

UNCONGENIAL TASKS.

Il have a boy and a girl in the pub
lie schools" said a Walla Walla man
the other day. 1.-The boy has taken all
the honors of his class, but the girl
has not done very well. She continual
ly complains that she does not like this
study and does not like that study and
so she makes no progress in it. l tell
her that when I went to school that
had to like the things the teachers
wanted me to like and that the things
they made me study when I did not
want to mad done me more good than
anything else in my school life, but 1t
does not change her attitude. What is
the difference between them?"
The difference is very likely that the
boy has the joy of work while the girl
has not. He has the yearning ia
achieve, to conquer. The task itself is
of minor Importance, the conquest is
the main thing.
Learning lessons in schools is like a
stonemason building wall. He would
rather handle the small stones which
do not strain his back with their
weight but he knows that the large
and unwieldy stones must be put in
place if he is to have a wall. There
is no escape from the facts. The big
stones must be laid so he might as
we'll be cheerful about it. Besides
they give him results faster than the
others. If it is hard work he has the
satisfaction of knowing that the wall
rises faster.
Children in the public schools have
early an opportunity of learning the
philosophy of life. Hating to do things
reduces not only the capacity to do the
thing hated, but also to do the things
loved. The discontinued, unwilling
discharge of uncongenial tasks, says
John Coleman, means the slaves atti-
tude. The slaves unwillingness under
the lash wears down to sullen obedi-
ence to superior power, but with it
goes the ability to turn off any task
well. The slave loses his initiative
ones work.

PLEA FOR DELIVERY HORSE.

Glue Vernon in Olympia Standard)
Should the phrenologist-t o1nouse

lump of ego, the statement would be
doubtless received with strong de-
mails; yet it is a fact, established be-

true of every city. This egotism does
not take the form of loud and idle
boasting but rather that nerve trying
selfishness which takes for granted
that the whole world revolves for ones

extreme limit of the town. If the Is

MURDER OF HERzeNsTEIN.
Constitutional Democratic Leader
Victim of Black Hundred.

st. Petersburg. Aug. 1.-The report of
the murder of NJ. HerZenstein, the former
member Of the outlawed parliament in
which he was a prominent leader of the
Constitutional Democrats, is confirmed.
1t turns out that he was asSasSinated at
his country house near Terioki. Finland.
by men in the pay of the black hundred
organization.
NJ. Herzenstein was walking along the
seashOre with his wife and daughter
when several shots were fired at him
from an unoccupied building NJ Her
zenstein was hit twice and fell dead His
daughter was wounded in the hand The
murderers escaped
A remarkable fact is that three hours
prior to the murder a telephone message
was received at a newspaper office from
Moscow asking for news of NJ. Herzen-
stein and saying that it was reported in
Moscow that he had been assassinated.
NJ HerZenstein was of Jewish descent
and very wealthy, His attacks on the
minister of finance in the lower house of
parliament attracted widespread atten-
ton He supported the Constitutional
Democratic scheme for land expropria-
ton. His family had renoUnced the Jew
ish faith and became orthodox Russians
several generations ago. He occupied a
prominent place in Moscow society and
was popular idol among the peasants.

ANXIETY AND SUSPENSE.
Crowds at HeIsngfords Listening to
the Cannonading.

Helsingfors, Aug. 2, 1880 a. m.-Except
in the vicinity of the fort the town pre-
sents practically a normal aspect. During
the evening large crows assembled on the
Quays, listening TO the cannonade and
watching the dense columns OF smoke
rising from the islands. All traffic in the
harbOr has been prohibited.
After nightfalI the governor issued an
order closing all public houses.
Regular traffic has been resumed with
St. Petersburg, the railroad bridge be
tween Riihiaaki and Ryttylae, which was
blown up by members of the red guard,
having been repaired. Prior 10 the blow
ing up of this bridge members of the red
guard seized the Fredericksburg station
and stopped the st. Petersburg mail train.
The white flag has been hOisted on one
of the islands, but it is premature to say
whether the revolutionaries there have
surrendered or not. In any event, how
ever, the fire from the battle-ship SlaVI
and another WaTship undoubtedly had lis
effect
The mutineers report that the Slava was
struck several times by their fire.
During the afternoon a boat put out
from Sveaborg and was bombarded. The
occupants. who were members of the red
guard" were taken into custody.
Last evening the strike committee de-
clared a general strike TO begin at
o'clock, having received an intimidation
that otherwise HelsingfOrs would be bonn
barded. Up 10 midnight. however there
were no evidences of this strike.
