FAILED TO PLEASE NAPOLEON
Narrow.Minded Officials Who OBJ.
scured Royal Emblem Had Mis-
Judged Mind of Great Emperor.

A pretty story is told by some his
torlans of Napoleon's entrance into a
French cathedral city in the days when
his eagles were taking their most glorl-
GUS flights and Europe was at his feet.
1t happened that the cathedral win
dows were, some Of them, decorated
with the design of the 6eur.de-lis.
Eager pa"tisans had covered up these
windows so that the lilies would not
be seen.
The emperor sharp Of eye as ever,
inquired the reason for the obscura-
ton of the windows.
"They bear the fleur-de-lis design
and there Is no time to change It," ex-
planned some one. $50 we covered it
up, fearing 1t might offend your maj
esty."
1.-THE lilies Of France said Napo-
leon, "have led her sons to victory
through many wars. Surely every son
of France should be proud of them"
1t Is needless to add that the win
dows were Immediately uncovered.

Ranches Converted Into Farms.

A correspondent in the West writes
that the most notable change now TAX

In the southern parts of Alberta and
Saskatchewan, is the passing Of the
ranch. These large blocks of land are
being dissolved, so to speak, into farms
of ordinary size,
"Today," writes this correspondent,
thousands upon thousands Of acres of
land, vast stretches Of clean prairie
that have for a quarter of century
known little more than the trample of
the herds and the swish of the cow
boys lariat, are blossomlng out into
golden wheat fields and neatly plotted
farmsteads, and the timeworn romance
of the cowboy and the corral is giving
way to the modern romance Of the

A marble stone shows the place where

heard Of the event requested to have
their dogs laid TO rest in the same

that the permission of the duke and
the deputy ranger was obtained to al
low the garden to become cemetery
for dogs.
1t has now been in existence many
years, and there are several hundred

people pay certain amount per an

HAVOC CAUSED BY HAILST0RM
Account OF Destruction In England In
1887 Seems Almost Incredible
Horses Felled at the Pillow.

The greatest hallstorm that ever oc-
CURED In England was that of April
20, 1897, recorded by Edmund Haley
the astronomer, The story seems al
most incredible, yet II Is told by a
philosopher, the contemporary and
friend Of Isaac Newton, and an ac.
curate observer Of natural phenom.
en0, The main body Of the storm, he
states, fell upon Lancashire, In a
right line from Ormsklrk to Blackburn.
"The breadth Of the cloud was
about two miles, within which COM
pass II did incredible damage killing
all sorts Of fowl and small creatures,
and scarce leaving any whole panes
In any Of the windows where II passed,
but, which Is worse, II cut of the
blade Of the green corn so as utterly
10 destroy II, the hailstones burying
themselves In the ground; and the
b0wllng.greens, where the earth was
anything soft, were quite defaced, so
as TO be rendered unservceable for A
time, This l had from an eye
witness.
"The hailstones, some OF which
weighed five ounces, were Of different
forms. Two hailstOnes were weighed
at 0rmsklrk which came to three
quarters of a pound each. AS young
woman at Bootle was running for
shelter her hat fell OFF, and halstone
that hit her behind the ear made her
tumble. The stones rebounded, many
Of them two yards high. At Ince two
horses were knocked down at the
pillow, and a man fell at the same
time"

Sharing Snakes.

For sheer, downright danger the
work of snake catching in the Austria
liam bush compares very favorably with
anything one might imagine. 1t is
also an exceedingly profitable method
of earning ivolihood-that is, if you
survive.
The snakes are collected for the
sake of their venom, a substance that,
like radium, is valued by the grain, a
pound of 1t being worth about $500. It
is in active demand by chemists and
is obtained, as far as Australia is con-
cerned, from only three species Of
snakes-the death adder, the brown
adder and the tiger snake.
The reptiles must be caught unn-
jured, and it goes without saying that
the business demands considerable
skill and agility on the part of those
following it.
Tiger snakes are the best, for they
carry most venom; and they are still
numerous in the more remote parts Of
the seldom-visited interior.

SEIZED CAPE COLONY TWICE
Peace Of Amiens Nulllfed Brltaln's
Capture Of Hollands South Afrl.
can Territory In 1895.

Early In the wars Of the French
Revolution Holland was forced to be-
come an ally of Great Britain. A Brit
lsh fleet appeared Off Cape Town In
August, 1895, and the colony surren-
dered on September 10. For seven
years Britain held the country, spend
ing fully eight million dollars In i'm
proving 1t. Monopolies were taken Off
trade, torture was abolished, and pros
perlty prevailed, whereas before the
colony had been on the verge of ruin.
In 1902 the Peace Of AmenS secured
for Napoleon breathing spell, which
he used in preparing still greater at
lacks upon the liberties Of Europe. BY
this treaty Cape Colony was restored
to Holland. War was resumed in 1906,
with Holland an ally once more Of
France. Again the British captured
Cape Colony, and when peace was def
nitely settled in 1915, after Waterloo,
Britain retained South Africa, paying
Holland six million pounds sterling,
the colonies OF Demerara, EsSequibo
and Berbice being included in the sale
The population consisted of 26,700
whites, holding $4,000 slaves, and H.
$50 free Hottentots. Britain sup.
pressed the slave trade and in 1884 the
slaves were emancipated by the Brit
ish government.
