Blanco drank constantly. Nero
knew it. Nero was watching him as
quietly as he watched Giuseppe. The
climax was very near when Giuseppe
saw Blanco strike Minetta through
the open door of their tent.
He had been counting the receipts,
but now he dropped these and, draw
ing his knife, rushed forward. But
Blanco had gone into the lion house
before he arrived. Blanco was train
ing a new lion. Giuseppe must wait.
Then he turned back, to see Minetta,
scarlet, with a white veal across her
face, waiting for him.
81 saw him" stammered Giuseppe.
Yes, saw you, too" she answered.
when he struck me this time, Gu

He is a DEVIL" shouted the young
man, lingering his blade. "Minetta!
They looked at one another and fell
into each others arms. They knew
now that their two years had been
fruitless; they would always love one
another
Giuseppe, you must go" Minetta
sobbed at length. Go now, before
sin come upon u.s."
Giuseppe fought the hardest battle
of his life that moment At last he
conquered; raising Mincttas hand to
his lips he walked slowly back to
the collection box. He would leave
that afternoon; he would never see
Minetta again.
Minetta went into the lion house
presently. Blanco, who seemed par
ticularly amiable, called her into the
cage. She was not loath to go; she
was a better trainer than he.
Blanco caught his wife by the arm.
"Minetta-dear Minetta," he said,
smiling like devil; Il saw what hap
pened five minutes ago. Kneel down,
Minetta, and pray"
Minetta kneeled down and prayed,
because she was docile and 1t seemed
the only thing that she could do.
Blanco stepped toward Nero and
cut him savagely across the loins
The cat leaped from his pedestal and
crouched, snarling, in a corner. Blanco
stepped back toward the half-open
door. He took his eyes from Nero.
He knew that he could reach the
door and close it on his wife before
Nero could spring.
He leaped for the door, tripped, and
stumbled He had fallen upon Minet
ta's whip, which she had cast aside
He strove wildly to rise. He saw a
great shape darken the daylight over
him.
1t was Minetta's scream that called
Giuseppe from the collection box
When he arrived he saw her beating
with her little fists on Nero's face
while the lion blinked and snarlec

EMPTY TOMB AT ST. HELENA
Longwood House, Where Napoleon
Died, Is in Ruins and French Ask
That II BE Preserved.

Complaint is made in France that
the government of the republic is neg
lecting the house in which Napoleon
died and the tomb in which his body
was laid at st. Helena before removal
to the Church of St Louis at the In
valides.
In 1858 the Longwood house, in
which the emperor lived during his
exile, and the plot in the Valley of
Geraniums where his tomb was made
were given by Queen Victoria to Ma
poleon Ill. for the French government,
which desired to maintain them as
lasting memorials. But of late years
little has been done to preserve either
the home or the sepulcher. The build
ing is falling into ruins, the farmers
of the neighborhood let their sheep
Craze in the valley. Visitors are few.
1t is believed that ere long a storm
will wreck the decaying building. and
then in all probability the caretaker
will be withdrawn and the land aban-
doned to the farmer and the herds.
man.
Sentiment will mourn over such sur
render of ground to utility, but it is in
evitable. In a world where the palaces
of Alexander and Caesar have crum-
bled into nothingness, there can be no
perpetuity for the homes of Napoleon.
The Tuileries went to ashes long ago;
why save Longwood?

NettIe Porridue.

Mr.. Pepys was regaled with nettle
porridge at the house of friend and
found it very good" The same del
icacy is referred to by Evelyn. The
nettle, in fact, which the ignorant dis
miss as an unpleasant weed, is cap
able of doing all sorts of things for
man. A Scot was able to boast that
he had eaten nettles, slept in nettle
sheets, and dined OF a nettle table,
cloth. And 1t is at this time of the
year that we should take out dose of
nettles. Spring nettle tops boiled in
pottage. according to old authority,
consume the phlegmatic superfluities
in the body of many that the coldness
and moisture Of the winter leave be-
hind"
The nettle is not the only vegetable
delicacy enjoyed by country folk which
never finds its way to the townsman's
table. In Kent, at this season, the
early shoots OF the wild hop are cook
ed and eaten as something superior
to asparagus. The plant needs search
ing for amid the hedges, but that, no
doubt, adds to its piquancy. Hop hunt
ers, however, have always to remem-

Mail Boxes On Street Cars.

Letter boxes on street cars may be
found in Des Moines and Burlington,
Ia, and Grand Rapids, Mich.
Passengers may post letters on the
cars or mail may be put in the box
while passengers are getting on and
of the cars. The conductors are not
prohibited from taking mail from peo-
pie while the cars are moving. as 1t is
easy to slip il into the box nearby at
the back of the car. II one signals
the car to stop for the purpose. one
gives the conductor the minimum car
fare, and he punches ticket for 1t as

are greatly benefited. as they can send
a letter to the central postofice every
hour as easily as those living in the
center of the city.

switchback railways were constructed
more than hundred years ago, and

EARLY GREECE HAD RECALL
When Man Rose to High Power He
Was Considered a Menace to
State and Was ExiIed.

In the palmy days of the Greek re-
torians tell us, when a man rose to
such a height of cover or affluence
that he became a possible menace to
the state, the citizens took a vote on
his case as an undesirable" says the
Christian Herald. This was sent to
the senate and, if the vote was suffi-
ciently large and representative. that
body passed resolution in which the
too distinguished citizen was invited,
in polite diplomatic terms, to take a
other words-he was officially exiled
for the good of the state. This was
''ostracism," so called from the fact, 1t
is explained, that the voting citizens
wrote their names on oyster shells.
and it was instituted as a measure of
security to the commonwealth. Any
citizen of great wealth or influence,
or who had large personal following
which might. in an emergency, be used
to the detriment of the state, was liza
BILE to receive this distinguished mark
of public consideration. II was kind
of primitive recall" which had the
advantage of being equally applicable
to "ins" and outs" Those early
Greeks we're wonderful fellows, and
knew how to deal with the knotty
problems of their day. which doubt
less included grating and other hui
man peculiarities not unknown in our
time. If an election did not suit them,
or II any man swelled too far above
his fellows, there was always the level
ing oyster as a wholesome corrective
in reserve.
