THREE EMPIRES.
Governments That Practically SPrans
J,+o Eeiro OVERNIGHT

Governments That Practically Sprans
Into Being Overnight.
Prior to Jan. is, 1S73s the German
empire, as we know it today, had no
existence. Instead it was a jumble
Of kingdoms, states, duchies, grand
duchies and pri1lcipalities, all joined
together by like language and com
mon political aspirations, it is true but
otherwise quite separate and distinct.
Then came the historic ceremony IN
the Hall Of Mirrors at Versailles. Par
is had just been captured by King
William Of Prussia, and it was held to
be fitting time and place to proclaim
him the first German emperor. Never
since the dawn of history was an en-
pire born more dramatically.
By a strange irony Of fate, too, It's
birth took place amid the ruins Of the
French empire, itself the creation OF a
day, or, rather, to be strictly accurate
Of q night. France went to bed on the
evening of Dec. 1, 1851, a republic.
When it awoke next morning IL was
an empire. During the hours Of dark
ness Paris had been occupied by
troops, and the prince-president had
become Napoleon III.
Equally sudden and almost as sensa-
tional in its way was the birth OF the
modern Greek empire. After the yoke
Of the Turks had been thrown off In
the war of independence the country
became a republic. But the people
soon tired Of that democratic form OF
government and promptly proceeded
to assassinate their first and only pres
ident. Then they met together, elect
ed king and settled themselves down
to be ruled by him in a quite orderly
and contented fashion.-San Francisco
Chronicle.

Napoleor's Bible.

An italian Journalist has the copy Of
the Bible which Napoleon used during
his compulsory sojourn in the Isle OF
E.ba. It is q copy Of cheap popular
edition, illustrated with rough wood
cuts, with the initial n. and the I'M
perial crown stamped upon its back.
A number Of texts are underlined, and
the inference is that the exled en-
peror searched the Scriptures for pas
sages appropriate to his misfortune
and his hopes. 81 will smite the shep-
herd, and the sheep shall be scattered, y
is perhaps the most significant Of them.
The Bible was discovered in the sane
tuary Of the Madonna del Monte, in
Elba.

but they take their time in building
the nests, which are formed from
gelatinous secretion from the salivary
glands Of those beautiful members Of
the swallow tribe. If there has been
wet December, the first crop Of nests
is generally a poor one, being soiled by
the damp and drippings from the roofs
Of the caves. Collectors, however, be-
gin in January to go around the island
to the different caves n an open boat
The best quality resemble pure ISM

collections. The caves IN which the
nests are found are scattered about
the islands. Some are far inland, 9TH

When Animals Are Ill.

Said 6. prominent veterinarian: An
imals when sick are the most helpless
and apIjreciative Of all creatures, and
the way of administering relief and
medicine in many instances is as novel
as It is effective. The most savage and
reyeneeful animals during spells OF Sc
we're pain are, as rule, as docie and
tractable as child. Relief must come
from human being, and come quick
". and they seem to know it. The
most vicious horse when groaninG
with pain would allow mere child to
administer relief, and many Of the
wild animals when in sickness seem
to forget their savage instincts"

1he Greyhound.

Various explanations. have been Civ
en- Of the origin Of the term grey
hound, some authors claiming that the
prefix grey is taken from Graius,
meaning Greek. others that it signifies
great, while still others say that it has
reference to the color Of the animal.
In nc other breed Of hounds is the
blue or gray color so prevalent. and
consequently the last mentioned derl-
