While in prison she refused to eat

fed by force in this manner:
1.-The largest wardress in Holloway

my arms. A towel was placed around
my throat, and one doctor from be-

another doctor put tube in my nos

head was pushed forward. The tube
came through my mouth, and I got 1t

I managed to get my hands loose and

HE GOT THE CROSS.
Napoleon and the Battle Scared Hero
at Ratisbon.

at Ratisbon.
The oratorical repertory of every
schoolboy probably includes Brown
ing's poem beginning You know, We
French stormed Ratisbon."
The reader Of memoirs, however,
particularly those Of General Marriott,
realizes that Ratisbon, battle-ground
though it was, had it's humorous aspect
and was not all tragedy. Marriott says:
1t was first at Ratisbon that the
emperor endowed the common soldiery,
making them at once chevaliers Of the
empire and members Of the Legion Of
Honor. The presentations of candi-
dates were made by the heads Of divis-
ions, but the emperor allowed those
soldiers who believed that they mer-
tied this honor to come before him, and
he alone judged and decided their
worth.
Once it happened that an old grena
dier who had campaigned in Italy and
Egypt, not having been mentioned,
came himself to demand in tine most
phlegmatic tones the cross
But" said Napoleon, what have
you done to deserve this reward?
We'll, it was l, sire, who in the des-
ert of Jaffa, in an appalling heat,
gave you a watermelon" answered the
soldier
Il thank you again." said the emper-
or, but the gift of this fruit isn't
worth the cross of the Legion of Hon.
or"
Then the grenadier, hitherto calm
and self possessed, was beside himself
and cried with the greatest volubility:
Then you count as nothing the sew
en- wounds that received at Arcola, at
Lodi, at Castislione, at the Pyramids,
at ST. Jean dAcre, at Austerlitz, at
Friedland-my eleven campaigns in
Italy, in Egypt, in Austria, in Prussia,
in Poland, in
But the emperor, laughingly inter-
rupting his torrent Of words cried:
Now you're getting at it. You should
have begun by telling this at first.
These campaigns are worth more tnan

empire, with an annuity Of 1900 francs.
Are you satisfied"
But, sire, l prefer the cross!" cried
the grenadier.
And you have it since l have made
you chevalier," was the reply.
But 1 would rather have the cross!"
And the simple minded soldier refused

sions to set his mind at rest and make

A BAG OF HUNTING STORIES.
Foxes That Run With Hounds-Some
Curious Shots.

Foxes That Run With Hounds-Some
Curious Shots.
In a mixed bag of hunting stories
a writer in Baily's Magazine says that
in England there are various well au-
thenticated reports of fox being seen
running among the dogs which were
hunting it-or hunting another fox.
In one case," says the narrator, "tne
fox was certainly the one hunted; ne
had doubled sharp back, and unseen by
the hounds joined them while they
continued to run the line Another time
a fox was seen running with the tail
hounds Of the pack, ignored by them;
in this case the hounds must surely
nave been on the line of another.
Whether such incidents illustrate
the boldness and cunning of the fox,
combined with large and well formed
contempt for the intelligence Of the fox
hound, experience may determine for
itself We know that the mental fac
ulties Of hounds are concentrated in
their noses when at work, but even so
it seems strange that the scent of the
fox when he mas the imprudence OF
hardihood to join and run with them
should not bring about his summary
death.
THE explanation probably lies in the
different scent emitted by different
fox hounds nostrils being monopo-
lized by that Of the fox they are hunt
ing, the scent Of another fox actually
among them passes unnoticed. Hounds
certainly use their eyes little, If at all,
while running.
yielding to none in admiration for
the intelligence of the fox hound, it is
in spirit of inquiry I submit the fol-
lowing Incidents: One day during the
season 1S76-77 a dense fog come down
while a certain Devonshire pack were
running hard, and compelled master,
servants and field to pull up and leave
hounds to themselves. During the next
few days they struggled or were
brought back to kennels, till all were
returned save one named Layman.
Search was made for him, and at
length revealed his head and neck al
the mouth of an earth. The rest OF
Laymans anatomy had disappeared
and examination of the poor remains
led to the conjecture that he, leading
the pack, had squeezed his way into the
earth where the fox had gone to
ground and while half in had been
dragged out killed and eaten by the
rest of the hounds. Was it fight in
spired by jealousy or excitement OF
both, or was it an honest but foolish
mistake?
ION March 90, 1876, the Beadle lost a
good hound named Rambler under like
circumstances. The fox went to ground
in a drain after a twelve mile run,
Rambler, forcing his way in after him
as far as the width of the drain would
allow, was dragged out by the rest OF
the pack and worried to death.
why? Was it that, as might well
have been the case before quoted, the

MeEwen's Deeision.-Not long ago
Justice McEwen sat on a cow case;
that is, a case involving money due one
man for boarding the cow Of another.
The wrangle was as to what the board
was worth.
One attorney called three or four liv-
erymen and got their testimony on the
cost Of boarding horse. OF course the
opposing counsel objected and declar-
ed such testimony to be incompetent
on the ground that the cost Of boarding
a horse is not the same as the cost Of
boarding cow.
This the other attorney conceded, but
he explained that he was going to fol-
low up the testimony Of the liverymen
with expert testimony to show how
much less, If any, 1t costs to keep q
cow than a horse.
"Oh, If you're going to work on that
plan" put in McEwen in judicial tones,
you might as well start in with ele-
plants and work down to cows by
gradual stages" Leader.
