TUNISIA.

Carthage, Rome, Byzantium, Islam
and France have all dominated this
land with their armies and brought to
1t the fruits of their civilizations, but
1t is still primarily the desert-a
desert strewn with ruins that accen-
tuate the failure of man to conquer
the wilderness. From the ship you
see long ragged coast and great
blue mountain chain, and weller of
water with the city of Tunis a faint
white thing between sea and sky.
And If you go inland, the melancholy
and majectic impression of wilder
ness is only heightened in the vast
spaces Of the desert, the occasional
plantations Of olive or corn or vines
seem islands In the waste. Older
than history, and the battlefield OF
nations, Tunisia is still a frontier.
But In the city of Tunis, something
of the culture of all the conQuerors
seems to have been preserved; 1t has
the understandable air that belongs to
places long dwelt in and cherished

mystery and discreet withdrawal
from the world. Along the narrow
streets are numerous little shops and
bazaars displaying all the wares of
the Orient, shadowy corners filed
with bright .colored things and
strange doors. The shops Of the per-
tuners, In the very heart of the city
are typical. The dusky merchants
sit in tiny alcoves where the air Isl
languid with heavy scents Of rose and
violet, jasmine and geranitm. Light
or colored wax tapers shine curiously
upon the faceted bottles, oddly
shaped glasses, ivory boxes covered
with filigree in which all of these
precious substances are kept.

The thaw Saturday night and sun
day directed attention to the differ

the, other kind. Where street pave
medts had been cleaned of snow,
pavements were fine to walk on.
Where the snow had been permitted
to remain, there was dangerous ice.

The Federal Government.

How many people have any idea Of
the actual share which they have in
the federal government? Who, for In
stance, supposing himself to be an
average citizen, knows how much he
contributes annually, to the support
Of Uncle Sam? Who knows how.
many letters the postal service
handles annually for him? Who
knows what his share OF the money
in the United States is, and what his
share of the debt Of the country
amounts to?
The average citizen has about $3S
as his share of the stock OF money
in the United States. OF this, all but
about 81 Is in circulation. That 81
is in the treasury. He contributes
twenty -four sents a year toward the
interest Uncle Sam" has to pay. on
borrowed money. He is called upon
to contribute shout 81 year for his
privilege OF living under the stars
and Stripes. About $15 worth Of
goods passes through the custom
houses annually on its way to him.
He receives some ninety letters and
postals and some thirty pieces Of
printed matter through the mails each
year.
Thousands Of such interesting facts
are brought out in the thirty chapters
OF the new book, The American Gov

The county court seems to have
made a mistake in building tarvia
roads. While they are fairly good in
the summer time. If there is not too
much dry weather thus causing dust,
they prove dangerous in winter as
they are so slippery that horses can
hardly stand upon them. The dem
onstration has been sufficient to. con-
vince the road engineer who is said
to be mainly responsible for the adop-
ton Of such kind of roads that they
do not measure up to the ideals OF
good roads and are not modern by any
means. AS they are not satisfactory.
they should not continue to be built.
Some other kind should be adopted.

Several disastrous fires within the
last few days during the cold snap
will doubtless have the attention of
the state fire marshal and his assist
ants. There have been limitations
of incendiarism but it is altogether
probable that the fires originated in
most instances, and perhaps all.
through lack Of proper precaution. as
is so often the case during suddenly
cold weather. There Is unusual
danger during the Christmas season
and the state fire marshal and the
newspapers generally have given
warning and advice, Heedlessness,
carelessness and the like may not only
result In property destruction but al
80 In loss of life. Be careful.

principal question that should be con-

THE MEETING.

Adown LIES stream they gaily sped,
Her name was Nan and his was Ned.
It was the first time they had met.
Save for gray, overcast sky, the
day was perfect.
He came along rapidly, as was his
wont, looking neither to the right nor
the left.
Much more slowly, she approached
from the opposite direction, walking
daintily, as usual, and taking time
every now and again to take in the
beauties OF nature, for she adored the
beauties Of nature, and loved to take
them in.
She saw him.
IN, was a good thing.
How handsome he isl" she
thought. How big and bold and
strong looking! And how rapidly he
moyes!"
But if he saw her, shy, admiring
and wistful, he gave no sign.
A little bird lowered in the air far
above, said something to itself, and
few south.
"He seems in such a hurry" she
sighed.
And really, he was going at tre-
mendous rate.
1T was then. for the first time, and
last time, they met.
The little nanny-goat went sailing
over picket fence with a hurt look
on her piquant face, while the Fast
Mail for New York sped EDWARDS

NapoIeon's Victory at srienne.


One hundred years ago Napoleon
met the army of the allies at Brienne.
village in northeastern France. and
was victorious after keenly-contested
battle. The emperor had left Paris
only two days before. prepared to
make last desperate effort to halt
the advance of the enemy on the
French capital and thereby save his
tottering throne. The allied Russian
and Prussian armies were in command
of Marshal Blucher. Napoleon's forces
were in a deplorable condition. At
Brienne, 1t is true, his old soldiers
displayed prodigies OF courage, in his
name and under his orders, but the
raw conscripts were discontented and
many of them deserted their colors.
Napoleon owed his victory chiefly to
the fact that he came up to Blucher
when the latter was separated from
part of his forces. Prince Schwart-
zenberg, in command Of the Austrian
forces, Immediately set out for the
purpose of supporting the Prussians,
and the combined armies of the al
lies recommended their advance on
Paris.
