WHEN HEINE SAW NAPOLEON
The Trees Appeared to Bow to the

German Poet.

There came q day also when the

deeds and the battles which M. lie
Grand had drummed to me, and my
heart beat the march of the general
and yet at the same time I thought Of
the police order prohibiting riding
through the avenue. penalty five shil-
lings-and the emperor with his suite
rode down the middle Of the avenue,
and the scared trees bowed as he
passed and the sunbeams trembled In
fear and curiosity through the green
leaves, and In the blue heavens there

The emperor was wearing his mod
est green uniform and his little cock
ed hat known the world over. He was
riding a little white horse that paced
so calmly, so proudly, so securely and
with such an air. Listlessly sat
the emperor, almost loosely, and one
hand held high the rein and the other
tapped gently on the neck OF the little
horse. - The emperor rode calm
ly down the middle of the avenue.
No agent Of the police opposed him;
behind him proudly rode his followers

They Should Be Keyed to
Diatonic Scale.

For a long time" said the man
who sleeps mornings, Il have been
hoping that some one would arise and

come to the conclusion, however, that
two generations hence mankind will
be able to relish any metallic noise as

what truth l do not know, that we

'"Pins and Needles"

After being for long time in a con-
strained attitude a peculiar numbness
and pricking is often felt in the arm,
leg or foot. This is caused by some
interruption to the circulation and
can usuany be removed by rubbing or
exercise.
The reason of the sensation, which
is decidedly uncomfortable while it
lasts, is that pressure for a certain
length of time deadens the sensibil-
ity of nerve. When this pressure is
suddenly removed (as Strengthening
out the leg after sitting with it dou-
bled underneath the body sensibility
gradually returns to the nerve, and
as each nerve-fiber composing the
trunk regains its normal condition Of
sensibility pricking sensation is felt
and these successive prickings from
the successive awakeninss of the nu-
merous fibers have not inaptly been
called pins and needles. From the

PERFUME ABSORBED BY EGGS
Drug Store Clerk Is Convinced That
They Should Be as Carefully
Kept as Butter.

Englishmen were such peculiar
chaps, the druggist said, that he was
not bit surprised when the strap

egg phosphate said, Never mind"

and hurried out of the store, but he

that it came from a box in one corner
of the perfume case How long had

"Only few hours" said the clerk.

But you shouldn't keep them there
at ALL" said the Englishman. Don't
you know that eggs are almost as
bad as butter to absorb doors? The
shells protect them a little, but it
takes only a short time for a really
strong perfume to soak through.

The clerk said, How utterly ridi-

other customer had complained OF
triple extract favor to an egg drink

SAGACITY OF THE SPIDER
Experiment Made by Naturalist Proves
That Insect Has Almost Pow
ers of Reason.

BY way Of testing the intelligence
or sagacity Of a spider a naturalist
tried a rather novel experiment re-
Gently. He took a large spider from
his web under the basement of a
mill, put him on a chip of wood, and
set him afioat upon the quiet waters
Of the pond. The spider walked all
about the sides of this bark, survey
ing the situation carefully, and when
the fact that he was really afloat and
about yard from shore seemed to
be fully comprehended, he looked
out for the nearest land. This point
fairly settled upon, he Immediately
began to cast a web for it. He threw
the web, as far as possible in the air
and with the wind 1t soon reached
the shore and made fast to the spires
of grass. Then he turned himself
about, and in true sailor fashion be-
gan to haul In his cable hand over
hand. Carefully he drew upon ii un-
til his bark began to move towards
shore. AS 1t moved faster the faster
he drew upon his hawser to keep It
taut and from touching the water.
Quickly he reached shore, and, leap
ing to terra firma, sped away home
ward. Thinking he might be a
special expert in that line OF boat
manship to the rest Of his compan-
ions. the naturalist tried several spi-
ders. They all came to shore in like
manner.

a Sixth Sense.

An interesting discussion arose at a
recent college lecture concerning the
instinct of direction" possessed so
marvelously by savage races. and by
animals. Undoubtedly animals are
aided largely by scent. In the case
of humans It Is different and some of
the pupils argued that the primitive
man is able to find his way In the
densest forest without taking note Of
the sun. the wind. the lay of the land,
or the course of the streams. There
fore 1t was said he must be guided
by a sixth sense. because none Of the
regular five senses could aid him.
Other pupils, however, argued that
the Indian found his way in places
where there were no apparent guides
because he knew how, because he had
learned all his life how to do 1t, Just
as the writer, for instance, will write
page after page Of copy, spelling all
the words correctly, but yet cannot, If
asked, spell simple word. This is
because he learned the words long
ago, and his spelling is purely me-
chanical 1t is so with the Indian
finding his way through the woods.

Killing Cougars Saves Deer.

1t is estimated that every cougar

least so deer during the year. Some

cougar of mountain lion will destroy
as many as 100 deer in single year

dear have been saved through the
killing of nine OF these wild beasts is

instruction In Cartoons.

I have found that one of the easiest
and most interesting ways Of teaching
my growing boys current events is by
having them make a scrapbook of the
cartoons that appear in the daily pa
pers and magazines As soon as the
papers have been read, the cartoons
and pictures that bear on the leading
questions of the day are carefully cut
out and put in special place till the
end of the month. Then we look over
them together and save for the scrap

lightful little recreation this makes

same time promises feeling of good

SQUARE PIES OF HIS YOUTH
Mr.. OIdsome Is Reminded Of Them by
Advertisement Of Griddle for
Square Pancakes.

Il find In a newspaper, said MI.
Oldsome. IAN advertisement Of grid
die to cook square panscakes. never
before heard Of a square pancake. but
distinctly remember that in my
youth in my home we had square pies.
II you've heard of square pies for
heavens sake choke me OF right here,
but II you haven't you might like to.
Square pies were not exactly
square; they were baked in straight
side oblong tins that were square
cornered. The pies baked in such tins
were always either pumpkin or Gust
ard, never mince or apple or any sort
of pie with works that were chopped
or otherwise of such nature that they
would easily fall out when a piece Of
pie was lifted.
These square pies used to cut six
or eight pieces to the pie. You cut
first straight down the length OF the
tin from end to end In the middle and
then you cut across at equidistant
points either two or three times &C
cording to the number of pieces into
which you wanted to cut the pie.
This gave you either six or eight
pieces In a pie, according to the num-
Der of crosscuts you made, the pieces
being each square and all Of approx
mately the same size, exactly SO IL the
cutting was done accurately, as from
long practice 1t was likely to be. But
obviously the corner pieces had twice
as much crust as the inside pieces.
This, however, was not disadvant-
age, for some people like more filling,
some like more crust always used
to ask for a corner piece"

CAN'T LEAVE THE OLD FOLKS
Kansas Girls Reason for Refusal to
Wed Is the Occasion for Some
Serious Thought.

A bride aboutto-be in a Kanass
town the other day suddenly refused
to be wed. She gave her reason in
nutshell: II can't leave the old folks.
She echoed the tragic plant of ia
miliar song.
1t gives occasion for profound re1ec-
ton; as, at first thought, this: how
shall the line be drawn between flial
love and duty and the urge of the su-
preme conqueror of lives-the God
of Love? In all oriental countries this
problem could not exist; the widest
of passionate love must yield before
the ingrained obligation to a parental
authority and due. In our own land
the parents-not the child-raise the
petitioning hand That is what makes
the Kansas girls act remarkable.
When is a child justified in desert
ing her father and mother? For how
long should she bide a wee? There
is so much to be considered coldly,
although it is difficult These old par
ents. by the and-irons gave her life,
nurtured her; gladly bestowed upon
her the very essence of their love.
Her growth was their daily scrutiny
and sly remark; her development to
womanhood, their wonder and pride.
And then, as a singing, precious bird,
she escaped from their cage. Thus
it was for them, and is and shall con-
tinue to be for countless heart-broken
parents.-Philadelphia Press.

METHODS OF SUGAR MAKING
Up in the Hills the Lore Is Handed
Down From One Generation
to Another.

In these hills the lore of the woods
and the best methods of sugar making,
handed from one generation to anoth-
err are carried from the famous
groves to the smaller ones. A helper
in our second year told, between
gasps, as she stirred "cakes" for dear
life, that 'at Miss Susannah's she
wouldn't let us change hands nor even
stir the other way. We had to get
the light color"
Yet when some of our sugar pleas
ed a local critic he said, Wills folks
make lighter color sugarn yours, but
faint SO good. They break the grain
tryin' to stir it too much, and it hurts
I the flavor" He did not know physics
nor could our helpers tell us the rea-
sen for their rules of thumb, for it
has been an interesting hunt for us,
from the variations of temperature in
the different runs of our first year,
strip, to the intricate chemical and
Theological problems not yet solved
From Our local helpers, from our
reading and from years of varied ex-
perience, we have learned what effect
every detail of knowledge and care
upon the finished product.
But flavor depends upon the soil
and the trees themselves. Our big,
old trees on high land start early be-
cause Of their southeastern exposure,
and have long been famous for the
flavor of their sugar. To the founda-
ton we have added our study, and we
have persistently followed every hint
OF better methods until We have ad-
vanced the price of our product, 400
per cent! We sold our first years
sugar, without grading, in large pals
for ten cents pound. Now We make
1t into three grades, soft sugar, cakes
and cream, packing them in one-pound
boxes, and get 40 cents for the best.

CLING TO TIE RED KERCHIEF
In Other Respects the Women OF
Champery, Switzerland, Wear
the Dress of Men.

Something of the old romance Of
Switzerland still clings to Champery
nearly $500 feet above the Rhone Val

The inhabitants, about 500, still
preserve certain local peculiarities OF
dress The dark type greatly pre-
dominates, the women being hand
some and well developed. The vivid
scarlet kerchiefs which they wear
knotted around their heads are Singh
larly becoming. Even in the princi-
pal hotels this native head dress is
worn by the mattresses
Outside the village itself the women
in winter wear mems dress-long trou-
sers and jacket-but they still keep
their red kerchiefs. Indeed, as they
have to go about a great deal In deep
snow, sometimes on ski, looking after
the cattle in the stables and doing q
good deal of work which in more pros
porous districts is generally left TO
men, they could not very we'll keep
