MYSTERIOUS MANSION.
To Be Restored by Son of John Hays
Hammond.

Bordentown, n. j., Dec ls.--The 200
acre. estate here which was once the
home of Joseph Bonaparte, brother Of
Napoleon and former king of Spain. is
to be restored and its magnificent
chateau rebuilt by Harris Hammond, son
Of John Hays Hammond, who has just
purchased the property.
Among the most interesting details of
the work will be the exploring and
clearing of the three secret underground
passages and subterranean rooms on
which Joseph spent 100000 in the ex-
peetation that the property would some
day be used as a refuge for Napoleon.
II has been often reported about the
countryside here that great quantities
of gold and silver are concealed in treas
ure vaults reached through the tunnels,
which are supposed to give secret access
from the chateau to the Delaware river.

World-Famed Tree.

In The botanical gardens of Calcutta
Is the famous banyan tree. It covers
2k acres of ground and fills the visi-
tor with admiration and awe.
The utmost care Is taken of this
wonderful tree. for every tender young
root, as it begins to fall like sta
lactite from the branch overhead. is
encased and protected from harm in a
bamboo. It Is hoped that this particu-
lar tree, nursed and nurtured like a
baby, will within the next so years,
cover at least Is acres of ground. 1t
is supposed to have 1,500 aerial roots,
number of which 1t is probable that
CIPHER has been accidentally
omitted. The mother trunk is an al
most shapeless mass by this time, and
contributes very little to the susten-
ance of its multitudinous progeny.
The banyan tree flourishes in India

though they do reach an enormous
size-with hundreds of roots-in some
other lands.

caravan was made up Of camels.
The leader had bought some new
ones and had no idea of taking any
other animals into a country largely
composed of loose sand. Trouble be-

as AWKWARD as any Of the species,
managed to tumble into q ditch Of
thick mud between the road and q

SUPPER PAID FOR ITSELF
Clever Trick by Which List and 2u-

Second Concert.

An article in an Italian review con-
tains an interesting story of List,
the composer, and Rubini. the tenor.
Touring together, they visited town
where a great financial success was
expected. But they were disappointed.
for when they entered the hall they
found only fifty persons present
Rubini was furious, and said he
would not sing; but List Gained
him.
"You must sing" he said; this
small audience Is evidently composed
of musical connoisseurs of the town.
so we should treat them with respect
Liszt set the example with grand
overture, and Rubini sang to perfec-
ton. List gave another piece, and
then addressed the audience.
Ladies and gentlemen" he said. Il
think that you have had enough music.
Allow me to, ask you to take a little
supper with US" -
The invitation was accepted, and
List and Rubini entertained the au-
dience to supper at their hotel, at a
cost of twelve hundred francs. When
the guests separated the hosts thought
the affair had been joke about which
nothing more would be heard. but
they decided to give their concert as
advertised on the following night. To
their establishment the hall was pack.
ed; there was no standing room. The
whole town had turned out on the
chance of an invitation to supper.

"A Perfect Saw"

ITO say nothing and saw wood"
seems to be one of the most sagacious
phrases passed down by our hard
working forebears. Like most sayings
which have emanated from. manual
labor, this is blunt. homely, and, to
the loquaciously inclined, painfully
accurate. Show me man bent jack
knife fashion over a sawhorse, with
a short log under his buck. and ! will
point out man who is minding his
own business with admirable zeal. II
he speaks, he ceases to saw. While
he saws he is necessarily mute. Hence

aside, a perfect saw.-Atlantic Month

How She Got Fresh Eaas.

A young lady living in small city
had impaired her health by too confin-
ing work in a city Office. Her ply
sician ordered her to sanitarinm for
rest and upbuilding, and when she re-
turned to work he instructed her to
eat four fresh laid eggs daily; two
eggs for breakfast and the others raw
in milk. Finding it difficult to obtain
dependably fresh eggs she persuaded
her mother to permit her having q
small flock in the home yard. A port
able house was purchased and fifteen
pullets installed in it. A small brother
was paid ten cents a week to feed and
care for the flock, two bags of ready
mixed food were bought and the result
Of the venture was not only all the
eggs the young lady needed and sup
ply for the family, but there was q
surplus which found ready market
at the corner drug store, bringing ten
cents a dozen above the market price.

PAINTER IN HIS OLD AGE

Rear Admiral Charles Henry Davis,
who retired from active service In the

has thirty-two paintings on exhibition
In the Corcoran Art gallery at Wash

est public galleries in America and
one in which the knights of the pal
cite and brush consider 1t quite a tri-
umph to have their pictures exhibited.
To a singular genius he has added
painstaking industry, and has pushed
himself up into an enviable place
among the best landscape painters in
water colors in this country.
At time in life when he was sup
posed to have finished his mission,
and to be allowed to go back and sit
down in corner and be very still,
the old hero of the Civil war and
Spanish-American war appears as vir-
lie in his intellect as he was at thirty,
and has become master of art, rev.

ferring the beauty from his own soul
to canvas, to delight and bless his fell
lows. What a beautiful example this

artist set to old men who think there
