FIRST GREAT BATTLE OF THE WAR.

At length the armies, brushing aside their
skirmishing detachments, have into their first
real touch in eastern Europe and graphing along
long battle line in Belgium. What advices get
of this battle fragmentary and unreliable. All
that the world outside of the of the conflict
knows is that battle is in progress and presumably
that the allies include French, English and Begians.
But whatever the result it must necessarily be
inconclusiye. Behind the German army at the front

tall for woman, whereas it is a we'll
known fact that Napoleon was a man
of low stature.
Napoleon was the fourth child and
second son of his mother. Although
she had little education, it was prob
ably due partly to her early training
that he owed the development of his
powers of concentration even as a,
child. She was peasant type of
woman, so her biographer says of her,
and a peasant she remained to the
last day of her life. She was "hardy

she lived to see one son the greatest

Ramolino Bonaparte conducted her
self always with the greatest modesty.
She was aware, when her children for

them so quickly might as quickly be

Posing for a Photo.

A photographer recently gave some
useful "don'ts' which 1t might be
well to consider before paying a visit
to a photographer.
Don't wear white or any other pale
shade. as the effect is sure to be more
or less CHASTITY. but dress in black,
red or some other dark tone.
Don't wear a striking kind of cos
tune, as it is likely to look vulgar,
and the photograph would soon look
out of date.
Don't wear a large check or any
material with a broad stripe.
Don't argue about the position, but
let the photographer place you, as he
can better judge the effect. Above
ALL forget that the photograph is be-
ing taken and look as natural as pos
sible.-EXchange

Suspension of Life for Centuries.
From the Boston Transcript.

Iessor of practical botany at Paris

Professor Becquerel, in an article
IN The Matin (Paris), gives an ac-
count OF experiments which have con-
Jured up vision of suspended life.
Earlier experiments by MN. Ma

that life had simply been diminished
and that 1t was difficult to distin-

shacIxles Of a Fugitive.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
After six years as a refugee an es-
capped convict has returned to his cell
in a Kentucky prison. IT can't be
done, he says. A man under such
circumstances may imagine he's free,
but he is not. The combination
against him is too strong.
"A man may leave the steel
shackles behind, but he wears worse
ones when he is fugitive" says the
philosophical Kentuckian. "Circum-
stances keep fugitive on the move,
80 he can't get foothold anywhere.
He has to stand being imposed on as
long as he can and then move and
start all over again. The fugitive is
marked as queer, and his very efforts
to make himself inconspicuous dis
tinguish him among his associates"
1t Is the testimony Of the ages. The

Wheat Exports.

From the Indianapolis News.
1t does not look much as though
wheat would be treated as contra
band in the present war. Already
England has announced that her gov
eminent will guarantee against loss
of all wheat shipped to British ports,
and also full payment for it. This
applies. so far, only to shipments
from Baltimore; but it is assumed
that the guaranty will be extended
to shipments from all ports This of
itself is enough TO insure a tremend-
Gus movement of wheat. What be-
comes of the wheat is, of course, no
concern of ours. It is for the British
navy to make the guaranty good.
