He Couldn't Flow.

A certain incident connected with the great Napoleon while he was in ex> He in Elba is commemorated in the is- land to this hour by an inscription af- fixed to the wall of peasants house,
 A man named Giaconi was blowing when the famous exile came along one day and expressed an interest in his work. Napoleon even took the blow share out of the mans hand and at tempted to guide it himself. But the oxen refused to obey him, overturned the blow and spoiled the furrow.
 The inscription runs thus: "Napoleon the Great, passing by this place in MDCCCXIV, took in the neighboring field plowshare from the hands of a peasant and himself tried to blow, but the oxen, rebellious to those hands which yet had guided Europe, headlone fed from the furrow."

How to Become an Artist,

Holman Hunt began his art labors when at the age of four he cut off q lock of his own hair to make a paint brush. It is rather q serious matter for the young artist rightly to choose some picturesque and as far as poSSi- ble inadequate means of beginning his career. We all know the story of Ben jamin West and the cats tail AliSt0D. being q colorist, is supposed to have squeezed the luscious hues from flow CTS to make his paints. As there arc probably many young artists contrm- plating q career, why not suggest a few new ways of beginning?
 Make a brush from peppers shaving
 ash. from mummer's hairbrush from
 cles chin whiskers, from auntic'S
 lse front.
 No doubt the reason there are few
 eat artists nowadays is that it is sD hard to avoid ready made paint brushes. They are thrust upon children in the public schools. How can we hope for a Benjamin West with brushes a drug on the market?-Philip l.. Hale in Bos- ton Herald.

A Doc Detective.

In 1929 d peasant was found mur- dered in wood in the department of the Loire, France, with his dog sitting near the body. No clew could at first be gained as to the perpetrators of the crime, and the victims widow contin- ued to live in the same cottage. &C., companied always by the faithful dog. In February, 1887, two men, appar- ently travellers, stopped at the house, requesting shelter from the storm, which was then granted, but no soon- CT had the dog seen them than he flew at them with great fury ahji would not be pacified. AS they were quitting the house one Of them said to the other, "That rascally dog has not forgotten us." This raised the suspicion of the widow, who over heard it, and she applied to the gen darmes in the neighborhood, who fol- lowed and arrested the men. After q long examination one of the criminals onfessed.-Ralph Neville in Outing Magazine

A New Phase of Biology.

A widow recently came from Albany to live with relatives in Brooklyn. Her new neighbors discovered that she vas given to romancing about small mat ters. On her own behalf she claimed to take the poetic view" of life. But one of her neighbors was inclined to use shorter and more ugly word in describing the trait. Among othel things the woman from Albany state that her late husband was a biologis, in the states service, presumably at Albany. Later on it was learned that he really had been in the states sery. ice, doing time at Sing Sing for small forgery.

Greenland Whales.

The great Greenland whale has nu teeth, it's baleen plates, or whalebone
 taking their place. Along the center oi the palate runs strong ridge, and ON each side of this there is wide de
 pression along which the plates are in
 serted. These are long and flat, hang
 ing free, and are placed across the mouth with their sides parallel and near each other The base and outer edge of the plates are of solid whale. bone, but the inner edges are fringed, filling up the interior of the mouth and acting as strainer for the food, which consists of the small swimming mol lusks and medusae or jellyfish.

CANS TO OPEN
 HIS HOTEL

Baltimore, Md, Oct. 1S.-Joe Cans new hostelry, the Goldfield hotel, built by the champion lightweight pugilist at a cost of $35,OOO, will be opened tomorrow. It is thought that the ne- gro champion will take advantage of ,ne occasion to announce his final re- tirement from the ring and the relin- punishment of the title he has defend ed so valiantly. Tn addition to the hotel, which Cans believes will be- come highly profitable institution, the famous Baltimore negro has a fortune estimated at 5000. Of late he has became an enthusiastic auto mobilist and it is possible that he may decide to enter the ranks of profes- sional racing car drivers.
 Cans is now B years of age, and has been a professional fighter for sixteen years. He retires the undis- puted champion, with none in sight to dispute his claim to the title.

BIG PUMPS HAVE STARTED.
And the Work Of Laying Concrete at
the Dam Site VIII Soon Begin.

The four big pumps which have
been in readiness for weeks TO pump
out the interior of the coiier.dam NJ
Vernon began their work Monday.
They were started for the purpose OF
determining the location of any leaks
that might exist in the structure, u
being impossible TO find this out IN
any other way. Several small leaks
were discovered after the water had
been lowered three feet, and since then
a force of men has been at work toe
filling on the outside Of the structure
It is expected that other small leaks
will be found as the water is lowered
but these will be stopped with little
trouble and il will be only short
time now before the interior of the
structure is pumped dry. Then as
soon as the riverbottom Is prepared
the actual work of laying the concrete
foundation can be begun. The pumps
used TO empty the enclosure are one
- inch and two 6inch centrifugal
pumps and a 6.inch duplex pump, the
latter. which is the least powerful, be
ing capable of sucking out l,OOo gai,
Ions minute. These pumps will
probably be started again tomorrow
Just at present, however, they are
not needed because the river, when
rose nearly II feet the first OF the
week. has fallen so rapidly since that

IN THE DAYS OF '64.
The Last Christmas of the Southern
Confederacy.

1--WE had some memorable Christmas
days in the south during the war;" said
Mrs. Zebulon B. Vance, wife OF the late
United States senator from North Caro-
lima. THAT of 1861 was different from
anv that had preceded it because we were
in arms against the federal government,
any many of the male guests at southern
homes that day wore confederate uni
forms. Much of the talk at the Christ
mas dinner table was of sieges and bat.
ties and marches, but we were all full
of hope and confidence.
christmas. 1862, found us but poorly
prepared to celebrate it. Our supplies
were few, and confederate money was at
q % heavy discount. Then came the bitter
wear of 1863 with the fall of Vicksburg
and the defeat at Gettysburg. With sad
faces, harmonizing well with their dresses
Of coarse black stuff, the women OF the
south devoted themselves to picking lint
and spinning and weaving for husbands,
fathers, brothers and sweethearts IN the
field.
"Christmas. lS64-the last Christmas OF
fbe war-dawned, and what gloomy fes-
tiyal it was for the people OF the south!
OF manufactured products we had prac..
tically none. Our hairpins were made oil
long black thorns, with a ball OF sealing
wax on the end We had made INTO
dresses every scrap of available material,
while our feet were incased in homemade
cloth shoes. The slaves, having, heard
Of de Emancipation proclamation, Knew
that tbey were free and had all scattered
away. Desolation seemed to reign over
everything. OF all the Christmas days, l
have known that last Christmas In the

THE PARTRIDGE PROBLEM.
Their Gradual Disappearance Must Be
Investigated Thoroughly.

Since the close of the open season
for game birds, sportsmen have been
comparing notes and trying to hnd
some explanation for the unprecedent-
ed scarcity of partridges, quail and
woodcock. The scarcity of partridges
has aroused particular concern, be-
cause other gamebirds have been ack,
nowledged to be scarce for several
seasons past, whereas the hunters
started out this season with an idea
that the partridges were plentiful. All
through the summer fishermen, auto
mobilists and others told of seeing
partridges in such numbers that
sportsmen were prepared for better
luck than they had experienced IN
years. Even when the first few days
of hunting brought scant results, they
refused to believe that partridges
were scarce, attributing their failure
to bag a goodly number to an unusual
density of foliage following season
of rainy weather. Before the season
reached its end, however, every hunt
er had convinced himself that part
ridges were scarce, and while they
could not doubt. the testimony that
Young partridges were abundant in
the summer, they have been speculat-
ing as to the cause or causes which
led up to their disappearance between
July and October
The report of some hunters that
they had found parasites on partridges
they had killed pointed to a possible
solution of the problem. Then they
began to blame the monaghan pleas
ants for the parasites. 1t was thought
that, as pheasants had been raised in
proximity to domestic poultry, they
had probably become infested with
parasites, and, upon being liberated,
had communicated the parasites to
other gamebirds. This theory the fish
and game commissioners pronounce
untenable. They say that pheasants
are not reared in poultry yards, be-
cause they cannot be made to thrive
there. 1t seems, furthermore, that
pheasants and partridges do not min
gle, as the pheasants are not distin'
guished for their gentleness of ways
and other birds are careful to keep
out of their way. Nevertheless the
parasite theory deserves to be inves-
tigated, for we cannot afford to allow
the partridges to become extinct The
steady cutting away of forests has
been the means of reducing the game
birds to such proportions that special
effort and protection has to be extend
ed to enable them to survive against
the annual campaigns of hunters and
the perpetual ravages of foxes and
other wild creatures. 1t is up to the
fish and game commissioners to look
thoroughly into this latest phase of
the problem.-Springfeld Union.

Fire in San Francisco.

Fire yesterday destroyed nearly the
entire block bounded by Mission, Jes-

Francisco. Several factories and
stores were burned out. The loss is
estimated at over 100000. Most of
the burned buildings were only tenn
porary affairs, erected after the great
confagration, so the principal loss is
on the stock carried by various firms.
Quick work by the fire department
saved large section of the factory
