NAPOLEON AS A MODEL.
Habit of Citing the Great Generals
AphOriSmS Not Vet Extinct,

The habit of approvingly citing the
aphor1sms of Napoleon and or referring
~ MS deeds as examples to be follow
ed 10 public or private life, is not
wholly extinct. Even reformers are
often guilty of this practice, although
reformers, doctrinarfes and idealists
| never received other than cOntemp-
tuous notice from the amazing Corsi-
can.
| Evidently Napoleon IL overworked
as a philosopher of action, although
he may still be utilized for the drude-
cry OF pointing mortal or adjoining
tale, work which DR.. Johnson as
signed to Charles XII. Of Sweden.
Even the man with something to
| sell takes advantage of the Napoleon
IL Legend and commends his goods as
OF Napoleonic supremacy. Then we
also have Napoleons OF politics, Ma
poleons of finance, Napoleons of sports
and Napoleons of business.
Is it not strange that practical men
should exalt the sayings and doings
OF Napoleon Bonaparte. III there ever
was practical man he was one. Not
shread of idealism about him. To
him religion was a matter of geo.
graphy, woman was a child-bearer and
nothing more, men were cannon-fod-
der, good roads were built not for
peaceful wayfarers but for the con-
venient transit of troops, titles were
trinklets wherewith to regard hire
lings, battles were 70 be fought SO
that clusters of captured flags might
be sent to applauding Paris, and Eu-
rope was to be occasionally deluged
with blood to fertilize his family tree.
Glory was the God OF this practical
man.
I'm another sense, however, he was
extremely impractical. In the first
place he misconceived the spirit of the
age in which he lived. Mrs. Parting
ton trying to sweep back the Atlantic
Ocean with broom did not, it must
be admitted, meet with success as
great as his in trying to stem the tide
of democracy. But in the end his
labor was about as fruti1e as that of
Sydney Smiths heroine. For the
trend was and still is toward democ-
racy.-Boston Globe.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Anything Is wrong that is almost
right, WYNN
It's never too late to mend-until
it is too late.

saws II don't care" is liar.
Few men put off until tomorrow the
nleanness they can do today.
Even a rich girl may make poor
wife.
After saying that you intend to do
thing, do 1T.
Ever notice how much truth there
isn't in compliment?
How harsh is sounds to hear man
criticise your pet hobby!
Moth eaten jokes of Croesus never
fail to produce a laugh.
But few dancing masters are 70 DC
found, in the hop districts.
Many a noble young idea mas been
thumped to death on a typewriter

Moving Pictures for Educational Pur.
poses.

The moving picture is now applied
to educational purposes. Chemical
tests are now exhibited ON the screen.
There are films illustrating the cleo
trolysis of water, action of nitric acid
or silver, and action of aqua regia on
metallic gold, etc. The test tube is
thrown on the screen many times en-
larged, and the chemical action is
clearly illustrated. Most unsavory
but educational is film illustrating
the peril of the fly. The flies are
shown laying eggs i'm unsavory places,
and before the eyes of the spectators
the eggs develop in heaps Of wrig-
Cling maggots. In the final stage the
winged fly is shown Yin all its unsani-
tary glory. Still another film exhib-
it's the acrobatic fly lying ON it's back
juggling various articles with it's
feet, and even swinging a dumb-bell
as large as the insect itself.
Until a few years ago, all public
coal lands were valued uniformly at
rate of $40 or SO an acre, according
IL they lie less or more than Is miles
from a railroad. Since July, 1906, the
government has been appraising its
coal land according to the value Of its
contained coal. The present value
fixed for the government coal land,
based on the new regulation, is $149,-
772,443; the value fixed for these same
coal lands before the new classical
ton was adopted was $48,240,971.
According to these figures, it Is evil
dent, therefore, that If these lands had
been sold at the prices prevailing be-
fore July, 1906, they would have
brought the government about $780,
100000 less than their value at the
prices now fixed.
The United States army has recent
ly adopted a new type of machine gun
which can be carried by one man,
while two such guns with a full equip
ment Of stands and ammunition can
be packed upon mule. The new
weapon can be fired from the shoulder.
The barrels are carried in duplicate,
and can be rapidly changed when they
become heated from continuous firing.
The new single-phase electric
\ freight locomotive which has been
