Were Superstitious Too.

A woman who takes her supersti-
tons seriously started to enter a big
department store one morning last
week when she noticed a porter on a
tall stepladder that stretched di-
rectly across the doorway. In spite
of the fact that there were five wo-
men behind her eager to pass into
the shop she came to a sudden halt,
looked up at the ladder and cried
out, ooh, I'll never walk under
thatp saying which she turned and
strobe away. Before she had gone
far her sense of humor rose superior
to her fear of ladders, and she look
ed to see if her remark had had any
effect on those who had been with
in sound of her voice. Walking di-
rectly behind her were the five wo-
men who had heard her exclama-
tion.-New York Press.

Origin of Kissing the Book.

The exact origin of kissing the
book in English courts, though
modern, is obscure. It is not, |
should say, matter of legal obliga-
ton, but seems to be merely Gus
tom dating from the middle or end
Of the eighteenth century. If wit
ness claims to follow the law accord
ing to Coke and to take his "cor-
poral oath" by touching the book,
who shall refuse him his right
The kissing" act seems akin in
deed to what the Clancy" call some
what unpleasantly saliva custom,
which in modern life exists in very
few forms, though many Of the low
er classes still spit on a coin for
luck.--Cornhill Magazine.

AN ARGUMENT or FORCE.
Napoleon Smashed a Vase, and tff
Treaty Was Signed.

Early in April. 1897, the people OF
Austria demanded peace with France.
Negotiations were begun in the vicini-
ty of Leoben. Bonaparte, in an inter-
view with the Austrian plenipotenti-
aries, said to them, "YOur government
has sent against Ioe four armies with
out generals, and this time general
without an army" In the treaty
which the Austrian commissioners pro-
jected the first article stipulated that
the emperor of Austria thereby recog-
nized the French republic. "Erase it,"
exclaimed Napoleon. ''The existence
Of the republic Is as plain as the sun.
This article Is only fit for the blind.
We are our own masters and shall eS-
tablish any government we prefer. 4
one day the French people," he con-
tinued, SHOULD wish to create mon
archy, the emperor might object that
he had recognized republic" The
preliminaries were soon settled, Napo-
leon signing for France, thus placing
himself on an equal footing with the
emperor Of Austria. The formal treaty
known as Campo Formio was signed
In October, 1897. Austria fulfilling the
pledges she had already given. The
Austrian plenipotentiary protested
against the distribution of the prov
inces beyond the Adige. Napoleon was
angered at this, and, selling vase,
dashed it to the ground, exclaiming,
~If it is not so arranged I will break
your monarchy as l have broken this
vaser' This argument Of force, as
demonstrated to the diplomat was
convincing. and the treaty was signed.
