Parallel storias.


 When Napoleon w1s a student at Bri- gnne he happened to be asked by one of the examiners the following ques- tion: "Supposing you were in an invest ed town, threatened with starvation, how would you supply yourself with provfsions" From the enemy" re- piled the sublieutenant of artillery And this answer so pleased the exam lners that they passed him without fur ther questioning. Now, Napoleon's an- .swer was by no means original, for tne of SuvarOff's sergeants obtained promotion from the ranks by giving the very same answer when asked the very same question. Whether it was that Napoleon had read his story some where and luckily remembered the ser geant's answer at the right moment or whether, as one writer says anent the speech of the beef eater, "Au that can be said is that two people happened to hit upon the same thought" we are unable to say, but the similarity of the anecdote is, to say the least of it, a strange coincidence.

Ventriloauism,


 Ventriloquism is no science. but mere ly trick in the manipulation of the voice, which after much practice is able to be done in way to deceive. 1t consists merely in the varied modif1ca- tions of the sounds produced in the larynx in imitation of the notifications which distance imposes upon the voice. The essential mechanism of yentrilo- quism consists in taking full breath, then keeping the muscles Of the neck and chest fixed and speaking with the mouth almost closed and the lips and lower jaw as motionless as possible, while air is very slowly expelled through a narrow glottis. Care is also taken that none of the expired air es- capes through the nose. Much of the ventriloQuist'3 skill, however, in ini- tating sounds coming from particular directions depends on deoeiving other senses than hearing. The direction from which sounds reach the ear is never very clearly distinguished, and when the attention is directed to par ticular point the imagination is apt to refer to that point whatever sounds we may hear.-PhiladAep ephia Press.

Her Grace.

An Englishwoman of rank. a duchess. was very apt to forget to pay her bills. A milliner, whose large bill had been repeatedly ignored by the duchess, at last determined to send her little girl, a pretty child of ten years, for the money which was so much needed.
 "Be sure to say your grace to the duchess" said the anxious mother, and the child gravely promised to remem- Der.
 When, after long waiting, she was ushered into the presence of her grace the little girl dropped her bow of courtesy, and then, folding her hands and closing her eyes. she said softly:
 "For what am about to receive may the Lord make me truly thankful" As she opened her eyes and turned her wistful gaze on the duchess that person turned very red and without de lay made out check for the amount due her milliner.

 Strawberries have improved very much in flavor since the fifteenth cen tury. Until then the only strawberries eaten were wild strawberries, of a kind which would never find a market nowadays. By 1480, however, they were beginning to be cultivated, for Holinshed records under that date a particularly hne crop grown by the bishop of Ely in the grounds of his palace, now covered by Hatton Gar. den. He quotes the Duke of Gloucester as saying to the bishop: My lord, you have very good strawberries in your garden in Holborn. require you to let us have a mess of them" This speech was copied almost verbatim by Shakespeare in Richard I'll" Still. even the bishops fruit would not ap- peal much to the modern connois- seurs, for the garden strawberries at that period were only transplanted wildings, the plants being sold at about fourpenee bushel. =.

The Tree In inc Pieturs.

I confess that to me much of the de. light of an early morning landscape of Corot or Claude Monet is due in no small measure to the music of sing ing birds. Though not one is to be seen, I am sure they are there.
 There is story told of Corot that he was once painting in Woed, while near him sat another pss5eer whose creed was to record things in nature just as they are. Coming over to the easel of Pere Corot, he said:
 ''Why, you are not painting this scene at all as it really Is. You have left out that large rock yonder and put in a birch tree-there is no such tree to be seen.'
 With a confding smile Corot replied: eff you'll not say anything about it, l will tell you why I put in that birch. It was to please the birds. ."--Atlantic.

A Fine Sense oe i4un,or.

The Russian Emperor Ivan ". once ordered one Of his high oouEtyofhcials to procure for him a measure full of fleas and when the poor man failed through the friskiness of the insects in jumping ont of the measure had his head cut off and inflicted a fine of 1000 rubles on the city of Moscow for its share in the failure. On other occa- sions he would wander away into the country with some boon companions and a few caged bears and when he came to a peaceful village would let slip the bears and shriek with laughter as the villagers rushed for safety or fell victims to the hungry animals.

Old Time Simple Manners. Richard Evelyn. who died in 1706, laments in &is diary the vanishing of "the simple manners that prevailed in his younger days" Men" he says, ''courted and chose their wives for their modesty, frugal1ty, keeping at home. good housewifery and other eco- nomical virtues then in reputation. The virgins and young laG1es of that golden age put their hands Co the spindle, nor disdained they the needle; were obse- quious and helpful to their parents. in- structed in the managery of the family and gave presages of making excellent wives. Their retirements were devout and religious books and their recrea- hons in the distillatory, the knowledge of plants and their virtues. for the com. fort of their poor neighbors and use of their family, which wholesome. plain diet and kitchen physic preserved in perfect health"

Whsn Rrodie eIuffed MitcheII.

Once, when in England. Steve Brodie, the famous bridge jumper, was in a party which included Charlie Mitchell, the prizeflghter. Mitchell made some remarks derogatery to John L. Sulli- van, to which Brodie rejoined with some sarcastic observations on the sprinting ability Mitchell displayed while in the ring with Sullivan. This angered the prizefghter, who knocked Brodie flat. As he scrambled to his feet Mitchell made another rush at him, but by then Brodie had pistol in his hand and, thrusting it under his assailant's nose, remarked: "You think you're goin' to make a reputation of Hckin' Steve Brodie, don't you? Well. you just hit me once and tbere'i be lot in the papers about it, but you won't read it." That closed the incl dent.
