eUGENlE'S WEDDING DAY.
The oist Of Violet. From che Market
Women Of Paris.

Women Of Paris.
Even on her wedding day the En-
press Eugene received n sign OF III
omen. The market women Of Paris
presented her with mountain of VIC
let's on the day Of her marriage to
Louis Napoleon.
And those market women-they boil.
ed over! They yelled and pushed and
crowded into the palace gardens. They
screeched and screamed for the EN-
press until at last window opened,
and Eugene stepped out on the bal
cony, and, ever eager to please, she
held In her hands great mass Of the
violets the market women had sent
her.
Then suddenly one old fish wife
shrieked out at those of the commit
tee: Pigs! Idiots! 1t is the flower of
sorrow you have sent to her." While
quick another raved out: at is the col.
or OF mourning that you send the
bride of the emperor! Violets-purple
violets TO a bride! Pigs! Idiots! Dew.
lis! 1t is an omen-a sign of evilv'
And then the fight began! oh, mon
Dieu! They are terrible! They tear
one another like wild beasts! The gen.
darmes try hard to make order, when
voice up above us says out clear and
gentle, sob, soldiers, don't hurt themr
And the idea that any soldier on earth
could hurt dame des Halles was so
funny that everybody stopped fighting
to laugh. And they laugh and laugh
and wipe Off the blood and slap the
gendarmes and say, Don't hurt us,
messieurs-don'tw And they dance and
shout, and the beautiful empress
stands now by the emperor and bows
and throws violets to the crowd, and
all below cry, "Viye iImperatricew
And she smiles and smiles and so re.
tires. But that old witch was right!
Yes, madame, though the violet was
the flower Of the Bonaparte, it is the
flower Of sorrow, not at to send a
bride! 1t was an omen and given att

the white captives the young braves
watched with unceasing vigilance I'M

secured possession Of the captives and
rushed them to a white settlement

Walworth county was at that time
totally unsettled by whites, but after
the whites settled the country the

BOYS AIRSHIP MOTOR.
Small, Light and Powerful, II May
Revoiutionixe Aerial Navigation.

Revolutionixe Aerial Navigation.
A new motor, the invention OF
Charles Godlove, n twenty-year-old st.
Louis boy, which combines the best
features Of the standard motors In a
simpler way, has recently been enter
ed Mt the United States patent office
for the American rights.
Owing to its light weight and small
size Godlove hopes this motor will
revolutionize aerial navigation. The
chief feature Of the motor Is the great
amount Of horsepower that can be OBJ
tanned In proportion to the size Of the
machine. A thirty horsepower motor
will go within sixteen inch circle and
will weigh only sixty pounds. The
small size and light weight are made
possible by the simplicity OF the
mechanism.
The Ignition system which necessi-
tates a spark and carburetor is elimi-
mated. The ignition Of the gas is
brought about by heat produced by
high compression Of air. This does
away with premature explosions Of
the charge.
The motor has no valves or mechan-
ism making use of valves, Is air cooled
and has stationary crank shaft, the
cylinders themselves revolving. This
reduces the number Of moving parts
and hence reduces the wear
