Napoleon on Horseback.

Extraordinary were the precautions taken thut Napoleon should never ap, pear at Il disadvantage on horseback The emperor was not n first class hOrseman. and his horses were always thoroughly broken in. Here is a de scription of the methods employed: "They were trained to remain perfect ly steady under tortures of every de scription: to receive blows about the head: drums were beaten. pistols and crackers fired in their ears. flags waved before their eyes. clumsy pack ages and sometimes even sheep and pigs were thrown between their legs None of the animals were deemed suf ficiently trained till the emperor could without the least difficulty pull them up short at full gnllop. which was bis favorite pace."-London Chronicle.

NOTHING BUT AN AMERICAN.

When I look back on the shifting scenes of my life, if am not that al- together deplorable creature, a man without a country, l am, when it comes to pull and prestige, almost equally bereft, as I am a man with out a state. I was born in Indiana, I grew up in Illinois, was educated in Rhode Island-and it is no blame to that scholarly community that l know so little. I learned my law in Springfield and my politics in Wash ington, my diplomacy in Europe, Asia ard Africa. I have a farm in New Hampshire and desk room in the District of Columbia. When I look to the spring from which my blood descends the first ancestors I ever heard of were a Scotchman, who was half English, and German woman who was half French. Of my imme- diate progenitors, my mother was from New England and my father was from the south. In this bewil- derment of origin and experience l can only put on an aspect of deep hu- mility in any gathering of favorite sons and confess that I am nothing but an American.-John Hay.

PHYSICAL CULTURE.
A Factor In Training the Brain In
 Boys and Girls.

Boys and 6irlS.
 Enthusiasm. self confidence, the spirit of adventure, alertness. !promptness. unselfishness, quick judgment. are all 10 be learned on the field of games and sports. says the Medical Record. and every argument for such training of boys applies with equal force to girls. Mothers as well as fathers must be strong and healthy. and it is said that girls undergoing such training not only assume a more upright and dignitied carriage, but begin unconsciously to avoid slang and other vulgarities.
 The ancient Greeks knew these things, and in 2.500 years we have not equaled their results. If boy does not seem to pick up music with ease. or sword play. he may attain remark able dexterity with tools. At best he may learn to carve. at least he may at. tain creditable efficiency as joiner or carpenter. Even juggling and conjur ing train certain brain centers of value to the organism and are much better than no manual work at all. Person ally. continues the editor. we think very highly of military drill. which trains every fiber of the body, down to the very finger tips and the tiny mus cles of the eye. besides inculcating in- valuable habits of prompt obedience. team work. respect for efficient author ity. etc.

We wonder just what it would take to cause the administration to inter- vene in Mexican affairs. We have had the Flag insulted, our soldiers killed, citizens murdered, property de- stroyed. and rapine and arson hns governed the northern part of Mexi- co for two years. At the beginning two regiments of regulars and firm hand would have protected our csti- zens with no loss of lives to speak of. Today the flame of rebellion has spread until it will take half our regu- lar army to suppress it.

ME1lCO CITY POLICE.
Always Ready at Night to Answer .
 Clap of the Hands.

Sb0P VI Sbo
 In Mexico City each pf the 5000 po- lice who won for it the reputation of the most thoroughly patrOlled city in the world carries q lantern underneath his cape. After certain hour. when traffic has virtually ceased. the police. men put their lanterns i'll the middle of the roadways at the intersections of the streets.
 Then they go into the nearest door, way. sit down and prepare to spend the rest of the night at their ease. If you want Q policeman you simply step out on the sidewalk and clap your hands. Immediately with the sudden ness of genii one appears from either side. Handclapping, by the way. is the universal method of attracting atten. tion in Mexico. To insure wakefulness on the part of the police any one who brings lantern or a policeman's cap to the nearest police station gets $5. which is deducted from the negligent patrolmans monthly pay.
 In some cities the system of keeping tab" on policemen is different. Every hour the sergeant at the station goes to the door and blows his whistle. The man on the nearest beat immediately responds. Number two follows, and so the whistle passes through the entire force and comes back to the station. If one whistle is missing the man who has the preceding beat investigates and reports at headquarters. The speed with which the hour cnn be blown and the watchfulness of the force deter mined is astonishing.-Youth's Con- naniOn

Ancient Volumes Bound In Gold and
 lncrusted With Gems.
 Bibliophilists will tell you that the bookbinding of the ancients has never been equaled. let alone surpassed They will extol the beRtties of the bindings of the Byzantine period. when books had covers of gold. silver and copper studded with jewels. the mas sive tonnes being carried in imperial processions.
 The books produced in the middle ages were of remarkable beauty in wardlS and outwardly. Religious man. uscripts were enriched with illumina tiOns themselves, while their covers were of silver. gold or enamel. incr'lst ed with gems. These books were gen. orally bestowed as splendid gifts by bishops and princes on monastic houses and churches. where they were laid on the altar or chained to desk.
 The dukes of Burgundy were re nowned for their libraries. The "Ro- caccio" of Charles the Bold was bound in red velvet set with five large rubies Another Burgundian book was velvet bound and set with fifty-eight pearls of great size.
 The library of Philip the Good of Burgundy surpassed all other book col lections of the time. It contained near ly 10000 volumes, all richly illuminat ed on vellum. with bindings of dam ask. satin and velvet. incrusted with jewels. with clasps of gold and gems.- Pearson's Weekly.

OUR MARINE CORPS.
Its Status In the Military organiza.
 ton of the Nation.

ton ot the NaIIon.
 The United States marine corps was first called into existence by an act of the Continental congress of Nov. TO-. 1775. and gallantly served throughout the Revolutionary war. It was dis banded at the close of the war, April II, 17S2. but was reorganizel and per munently established July II. 179S From that dny to this it's officers and men have been ZealOus participants in every expedition in which the navy has engaged. and in many trying cam. pnigns they have won distinction with their brethren of the army.
 It is the gallant little corps that has so ably assisted in fighting Americu's battles in every corner of the globe for more than a century. It's members are the first men on the ground in case of trouble with foreign power and the first men into battle in case of hostilities. They have at all times served their country faithfully both fin peace and war and have reflected great credit upon themselves us q corps and on the nation which they represent Ever have they lived up to the letter as well as the spirit of the motto of the corps. "Semper fdelis." Marines serve on both land and sea, but are trained. clothed and equipped very much as are soldiers of the land forces
 The military and naval services of the United States are divided into three separate and distinct branches the army with it's duties on land. the navy at sea and the marine corps. which serves both on land and sea. The marine corps is separate Organi zation entirely and is under the direct supervision of the secretary of the navy and usually serves with the navy. In time of war or other public neces- sity the president is empowered to de tacb the marines for service with the army.
