TEMPTED, HE ATE.
A Story of Heinrich heine and
Toothsome Lyons Sausage.


Returning from a journey to the
south of France. Heinrich Heine met q
friend, q German violinist, in Lyons,
who gave him a large sausage that
had been made in Lyons with the
request to deliver it to a mutual ac-
quaintance, a homeopathic physician,
In Paris. ueine promised to attend
to the commission and intrusted the
delicacy to the care of his wife. who
was travelling with him. But as the
postchaise was very slow and he
soon became very hungry, on the ad-
vice of his wife both tasted of the
sausage, which dwindled with every
mile.
Arriving at Paris, Heine did not
dare to send the remainder to the
physician. and yet he wished to keep
his promise. So he cut Off the thin
nest possible slice with his razor,
wrapped 1t in sheet Of vellum paper
and inclosed it in an envelope. with
the following note:
Dear Doctor-From your scientific inves-
legations we learn that the millionth part
OF a certain substance brings about the
greatest results. I beg. therefore. your
kind acceptance of the accompanying mil
lionth part OF q Lyons sausage. which our
friend gave me to deliver to you. II
homeopathy is q truth. then this little
piece will have the same effect on you as
the whole sausage. Your

allowances which are necessary with
the ordinary sun dial. There are two
screens, one being pierced with two
small holes through which the sun
can cast a beam Of light on to the
other. which has a center line en-

one disc is an eccentric which acts on
a lever attached To the screen. The

AVAILABLE COPPER SUPPLIES.

The falling OF in the March ex
ports OF copper is being accepted ~
indicating that the forthcoming fig

that very large deliveries have been
made for domestic consumption.
That the aggregate deliveries for
March suffer by comparison with
those OF the months Immediately pre-
vious does not admit or doubt. But
from the statistical standpoint. at
least. this is to a material extent on
set BIZ the fact that the figures OF pro-

very largely operations for the month

Adverse weather conditions. labor

factors TO the marked falling of I'm

by far most notable in the Butte

the cost of water to the village will be
