EXTRAORDINARY ROMANCE OF THE FIRST NAPOLEON VOL. 17. NO. 3. NE of the most bizarre, fantastic and picturesque stories connected with Napoleon I. has just come to light. He is Cairo. Life - life of compact of the essential elements of tragedy, comedy and romance - such as no playwright has ever put upon it, but Napoleon in a novel and caternordy light - can be traordinary, that it first one doubles whether it really be history or fiction. The doubt is unjustifiable. Everything puts to the give of the world in a book entitled Memoirs of Baroness Cecile de Courtré. by Moritz of Kalsenburg. The original was in German. A translation is issued simultaneously in this country by Henry Moriot of Kalsenburg. Member of a distinguished Prussian family, found the documents, here arranged in consecutive volumes in the Halbertsheim. They consist of certain diaries and journals kept by Frum von Alvensleben, his maternal great-grandmother, and a bundle of fifteen letters written by the baroness Cecile de Courtré in the body. Now Cecile was a bosom friend of Prau von Alvenleisen, and for many years a guest at her home, the castle of Kalle, where she met the Frenchmen in which the acquaintance was formed is full of dramatic interest and surprise. In August, 1703, shortly after the Regen of Terror had culminated in the execution of Marie Antoinette. Prau von Alvenleisen was also a friend who was fighting the French on the Franco-German frontier, in which he intrusted to her care a young French woman. He explained that she was a rebellious girl, and that she very way to the guillotine, where many of her relatives and friends had been sacrificed. On September 18, the good frum's diary of Marie Antoinette, the first of whose appearance, she notes, "is so expressly affecting that I can secrease restrain my tears whenever I look at her." Her story is recorded in three chapters of this book, taken from the frum's diary. She had written it down while the impression was still warm in her memory. Cecile had told it with simple directness and passionate force. It is too long, and the force of the force. I can only present the baldest outline. The Baroness Cecille de Courtier was born on Sept. 29, 1763. Her parents were connected with the court of France. The girl herself had made her debut in school, and she was the daughter of Louis XVI. At the age of twenty she had become a lady in waiting to the Princess de Lamballe, who herself was first lady in waiting and mistress of the ceremonies to the queen. This made her a member of the queen. For some years she shered in all the amusements of the court. She be came engaged to Hector de Trollsak, young officer in the service of the king. Then came the Revolution. The Princess de Lamballe was guillotined. So was Cecille de Courtier, who died death cate July 22, 1763. Hector, however, had heard the news. He managed to place a small bomb along the route of the grusome procession. It exploded at the opportunity moment, the horses were running, and confusion Hector escaped with Cecilo. He was hurrying to an open doorway when a gendarme caught sight of the fugitives, and with a cry of "halt," rushed at them with a drawn sword. At the same moment a disguised man appeared at Hector's side. "Take her, Tanered!" said Hector. "I will cover your retreat." He hurried himself upon his pursuer, while the stranger escaped with the lady, but not before he met the man with blood, to be trampled into shapeheads under the feet of the mob. It was through Hector's friend Tanered d'Aubignae that Cecile had succeeded in making good her escape to the German frontier. Van Alersleben wrote down in her diary from Cecile's lips. The next few years were spent by the two ladies happily enough at the castle of Kathe. Monwhile katelodesc events came to light. Napoleon I. had become first consul and practically dictator to thirty million Frenchmen. It was generally believed that he intended to make himself emperor. As a first step to his ambition he moved to Paris, where his ability as had survived the Rigton of Terror. He invited them to his court, he offered them positions in his household, he sought to show his good will in every situation, and being in the restoration of the monarchy. It was at the period-1. e. in the early part of 1823—that Cecile determined to make a journey to Paris and petition for the release of her husband, a lawyer, who wrote long letters describing her experiences to Frau von Allerschenk. Through the influence of Tailleyrand and Josephine, who had been friends of her husband, was at last lathered into the immense presence of the greatest man in all the world. She had not, to her knowledge, ever seen him before, save at the theater in a box and at a parade, but she had a dar of distinction his features. So, when at last she came to have a personal interview with him her curiosity as well as her love was excited. She was invited to a plantant before him the demi-god said, brusquely enough: "Well, what have you come about?" Now, Tailleyrand had worried Cecile that she would not answer her answers to Napoleon. Therefore, gathering up her courage, she made the laconic response: "The restoration of my family property. The he desired brevity he never expected it, at least from a woman. Something also in the expression that suddenly came over this particular woman was the eyes upon him netted and annoyed him. "Of if truth, 'madame,' he replied, "I cannot complain that you were so bold, but I used his woke, my angry pitch and threw up his head with a popular movement, you are your star." And here comes in the climax that on or in the room upon which upon us an immovable object (toy- box) The truth is indeed stranger than fiction. And why? Because fiction can never make plausible the apparent impossibility of truth. Let us, then, continue in the same vein with truth. Let us quote Cecelle's own words: "Even at his first few words the sound of his voice and the peculiar accent carried me back to some long forgotten treasure 1 had not thought of for years and years. I had in my memory—where had I seen that soid, stern face, those clear cut marble features before? Then as he out his mind, the fire he threw out his mind, the fire he threw out from my eyes, the veil woven by the busy years was rent asmurder, and I suddenly knew where and when this man played a part in my former life." Her fervent Consul, who was kicking his foot impatiently against the fender, Cecelle touched his arm and said, with a smile: "Monsleur le Consul, will you permit me to tell you a little story?" "Out with it!" he thundered. "But waste as few words as possible over it, if you please." So she began in a low voice: "I am a man of mine in the year 1783. I was writing Mile Laufe Perman, whose family had a beautiful villa near Brienne. I had wandered away by myself into the fields, and was so absorbed in plucking flowers that I never noticed the woman, nearly seventeen, but a severe illness in childhood had left me small and weakly for my age. Suddenly I heard a furious bellow behind me, and turning round, saw to my horror that an enormous black bull, with a long neck, had down upon me with blazing eyes and lowered horns. I gave one shriek of terror, dropped my howers and flea as fast as my horse, carried me toward the high road. But the bull was still shouting, he hear his snorting breath. "Help! Help! I screamed as loud as I could. The next moment a pale face boy in the uniform of the Brieenne cadets came running toward the bull from the side, trying to distract its attention to him. But I entirely frustrated the boy's plans by flying to him for protection. He called out something, but I was too frightened to understand, and in any case it was now too late. "The bull reached me,我 feiled me to the ground, and I lost consciousness. When I opened my eyes my preserver was supporting me with his arm, while with the other hand he wiped away the blood that was on his face in his check. The bull was staggering behind me. The courageous, boy, having managed at the last moment to pierce the brute's eye with his sword. "I faltered out some words of thanks, but I was not with an authoritative gesture, and said stalky of girls to run about on alone in fields where there are cattle. Remember that next time.' Then nodding curly he ran off in the direction of the college. Maybe you saw that boy, Monsieur le Consul," concluded. For a moment a curious light flashed in his dark eyes, but the next he frowned and answered coldly, "No, I cannot say I remember." Still the little lady would not be gnashed. Controlling her emotion, she continued: "Monsieur le Consul, may I venture on one more recollection of my youth?" He said nothing, but nodded his head. "A year later, he continued, "I was in the hospital, and I quise de Montesson, a friend of my mother. This lady proposed that I should accompany her to the annual examination of the cadets at Hirscheme. It was the custom to wear a white dress, be crowned by the ladies with wreaths which they brought with them. My heart beat high at the invitation, for I had grown now grown into a girl and I noped I might now see him again. I hoped this all the more because I had now grown out of my childhood weakness and had become tall and strong—a very beautiful girl. I felt a delicate girl of the year before. So, I opened my beautiful heart. I took the wreath prepared for the occasion, secretly hoping that I might be able to give it to my youthful hero. He was a beautiful, beautiful one, composed of laurel leaves." Here she was suddenly interrupted by a strange sound, half-sigh, half-exclamation of joy. The next moment the consul had guarded and clasped both her hands in his. "So you are that sweet, kind girl, madelaine." he said in trembling tones. Oh, ask you will you of me! I promise you it will awaken you. What it may be. Will you accept a pension, a post of any kind? You shall have your property back. I am more than overjoyed to have it in my power to serve you." Cecille, in her amazement, had no answer ready. All she could do was to falter. "Oh, sir! what have I done to deserve it and get it back." "Sire! broke in Bonaparte, in great excitement. "The royal title for the first time from your lips? My infallible little prophetess? Once more your words will come true? Yes, I shall one day wear the crown of the throne. I am one my shoulders. Now I know it for certain. You set that laurel wreath on my young head in the days long gone at Blenle, the laurel crown that was a prophecy of others. You whispered good advice to you. You have not fatalist. Since you have foorthed it I feel the crown of France upon my brow. I see the scape of the realm already in my hands. How can I ever thank you for not first the restitution of your property." Seating himself at the writing table, he wrote a few hurried lines, rang the bell and summoned his secretary, Bourline. The door opened, Bourline appeared. Take this paper to the Minister Regina to write it, and call him to see the immediate restitution of Made-moselle de Courta's property." **Got the Bass All Right:** "Great吃 on Jarley." "What was that?" "Went fishing and didn't catch anything. Orbured a half dozen bass to be sent to the museum, would he think caught 'em. When the basket was opened they turned out to be bottled bass." - Tid.Bp. Defective Page So she began in a low voice: THE APPEAL. HOLLAND AND HER QUEEN Described by One Who Saw Wilhelmina Grow Up From Childhood. N Thursday, the 7th of February; next, Withelmina Paulina Helena Maria, queen of the Netherlands and princess of Orange-Nassau, will wed Henry duke of Meckleburg- N Thursday, the 10 of February, next, Wielhelmia Paulina the queen of the Netherlands and the Orange-Nassau, will wed Henry duke of Meckleburg-Schwerin. The ceremony will not, as some newspapers have said, take place at the groom enter the portals of the Nielwe Kerk (New Church built, about 1745) at Amsterdam. From all the many quiet church towers in Holland the ancient wedge-shaped groom enter in the hearts of all true Dutchmen. For the graceful young woman who on that day gives her hand to the man of her choice is really a queen of hearts, reigning over her subjects by the force of a cried and deep regard. When Wielhelmia, the only fruit of the marriage of her aged Father, King William, with the young princess Emma Walden, the young princess of the palace at The Hagus there was much disappointment among the citizens of Holland. The two sons of the old king by his first wife were both dead and there was no one to the great house of Oranges, whose history is interwoven with that of the Netherlands. PICTORIAL INTER JOHN D. DIESE **PICTORIAL INTERPRETATIONS OF THE WORD "THROUGH."** Succession to the throne in the female line was prohibited by the institution of the land, and as it wore Ibisch the Dutch people who since the time of William the Silent had won an Orange-Nassau at the head of the state, either as stadtholder of the republic or as king, or to accept some distant relation—not a full-blood Orange—as their ruler. Great, therefore, was the joy throughout the land when shortly afterwards the congress of the Netherlands, the staten constitution and the young princes her- to the throne. became clear that she had merited minor status as members of the house of Orange. A woman her early girlhood sometimes bordering on obstinacy showed itself and made her mother's task as well as that of her teachers and governesses anything but an easy one. There was so neutrality by foreign powers. In this respect the Dutch will gladly submit to German influence, but in no other way to the queen's marriage likely to change the present policy of Holland toward the German empire. Strong objections could be raised from every side if the prince consort were to be active in the political life. held by the heir to the throne, will be given to him. There the young duke, or prince consort, will find a field of usefulness, as the present position of Holland requires her may should at least be strong enough to protect the country against a breach of neutrality by foreign powers. In this respect the Dutch will gladly submit to German influence, but in no other way to the queen's marriage likely to change the present policy of Holland toward the German empire. Strong objections could be raised from every side if the prince consort were to be active in the political life. Seldom has a child destined to bear a crown had the good fortune of having such a mother as Queen Emma. Herself born and brought up in the comparative German court, she had received a very thorough, almost democratic education, and by her noble kindness won the hearts of the Dutch from the day when old King William brought her home to his palace in The Hague. As the king died in 1615, she was born, the bringing up of the young princess fell entirely to his widow, and it may be said in truth that she has done her task well. Liberal-minded, able men were chosen as teachers, and Wilhelmina was the first duty of a truly constitutional law, to gain the love of the people and to give an example of good citizenship. And nowhere is this more necessary than in Holland, the republic of old, on which monarchical institutions were first forced by the great Napoleon, and where after his fall they were only continues because political sagacity made it clear that her powerful monarchial neighbors would have her power in the republic in mind. Indeed, the Holocaust to-day is really a republican as heart, and it is only the deep-pooled affection for the house of Grange, to whose great ancestor the Netherlands owe their free resources, that makes him support a monarchy. His all liberties, however, are so well guarded, the rights of the crown so limited, that it may in truth be said that the monarchy is a more powerful influence over his government that the queen of Holland over hers. Still, if politically of small importance, the influence of the queen of Holland on the people must not be undergraded. A pure, noble, kindhearted woman, in whatever social position she may be placed is ally to the queen, and when the Queen Willemia she occupies the place of first lady in the land, the possession of all the highest qualities of womanhood becomes a potent power for good. up under the eyes of her people it PRETATIONS OF THE bacums clear that she had merited many traits peculiar to the members of the house of Orange. A strong will in early without sometimes bordering on madness, a mother's task as well as that of her teachers and governesses anything but an easy one. However, there was so much wrong that she could strong desire to apologize to anyone she might have hurt by a too strong assertion of her authority, that her greatest fault only endangered her all the more to her. For after all, a little obstinacy is a trait possessed by the whole of the Dutch nation, it helped ages ago to throw off the Spanish yoke, and it lives to-day in the house of Orange, which holds the whole British empire at bay. This is not the place to repeat the many little anecdotes of the young princess' life which have from time to time been told in the newspapers. How she said she was a princess who expressed dissatisfaction with her work by drawing a map of Europe in which Ergand appeared like a little speck on a white surface of size of Russia; how she threatened her dishedded dolls that she would make them Rids in the carriage with her pimpous lady in waiting, compelled to all wear a headband so that she could do herself; how she liked to prepare little surprises for those she loved, whether highborn or lowly- all these women have become common property. A great surprise, however, for all, who, like myself, had seen the gay, romping girl grow up was the seriousness she b gain to see as she sheared the full development of womanhood. Since her mother had the hands of her mother, aided by a council of regency, and as Wilhelmina reached her sixteenth year she showed an evident desire to become infinitely accustomed to the position. Since then she has taken the cares of government on her own shoulders and has already shown that she does not intend to be a mere puppet in the government. By her own efforts she is promoting one of the greatest engineering enterprises the world has ever seen the realclaiming of the land and the acreage of farmlands equal to about one-quarter of its present territory. During her short reign the bill for compulsory service in the army has been passed, thus abolishing the unjust burden of the militia. The additional classes could free themselves by furnishing a paid man in their stead. It is in matters concerning the Dutch army that Wilhelmina's choice of a husband will be of importance. Duke Henry of Mecklenburg is an officer in the Gorilla force and is the place of Inspector general, usually WORD "THROUGH." held by the heir to the throne, will be given to him. There the young duke, or prince consort, will find a hold of useful resources, and will be required that in case of a European war her army should at least be strong enough to protect the country against a breach of neutrality by foreign powers. In this respect the Dutch will gladly submit to the king's request. In the queen's marriage likely to change the present policy of Holland toward the German empire. Strong objections would be raised from every side if the prince conferred with the king the country, and Holland is congratulating herself to-day that the firm character of Queen Wilhelmina offers a strong safeguard against any such attack. The marriage may in every respect be called a love match. The character of Duke Henry is said to be sincere and amiable; his life has been free from any scandal, and the prayers of a free and faithful people go up for the happiness of their young queen. Even we, the sovereign citizens of a great republic, may well express our wishes for the well-being of the young woman whom her people have placed on a throne, and who will become a true mother to her people. —Jan Hendrik Van Bolhuys.

Correspondence, Jan. 3—As death is said to love a shining mark, so la gripe seems to be discriminating, this year, in favor of the high and mighty—about the only species that can survive. The classes have not been heard to complain. From the president himself—who is expected to be immune from all the ailts to which flesh is heir during his term of office—and secretary of state, Hay, down through the whole social gamut, upperclass, and burning with fever and drifting with chilly perspiration, and exhibiting all the older plebian symptoms of influenza, just like hot polio; while up at the capitol, august noses are sniffing and sneezing in the most undignified manace and the most unpleasant discomfort more than a 'demed, damp, moist, unpleasant body.' Strange to say, in the humbler walls of life there is, so far, little of the prevailing complaint. Probably the superheated foods, rich food and warmth has something to do with its extraordinary predisposition to the gripe. But though many shining lights are compelled to nurse their snuffles in seclusion, the social round goes on as merilyn without them—just as it would if the snuffles were kept in the reaper. The first of this season's series of state dinners, given by the president in honor of his chief advisers, was a signal success, although several cabinet places, vacant by reason of illness, had been filled. The governor recruits," so to say, from the senate and house of representatives, and even from the manks of private citizens. The white-and-gold state dining room was embowled with palms and garlands of m silk, white lace and dent's republican boutonniere and the Republican emblem of the last campaign—were significantly conspicuous. Electric lights above the T shape, above the pink-shaded candles burned in massive silver candelae, interspersed with golden epergnes holding foreign fruits, and cut glass bowls of pink bon bon candles, pink carnations set in ferns, and on each name card lay a single large carnation. When the forty-four guests had faded aside their wraps in the library on the second floor, they descended to the palm floor, where, from where they were received by the porch, they sat on the latter seated, as usual, in her chair of blue and gold. Immediately afterwards, the distinguished company filed through the red and blue parthos, (both artistically garnished with flowers), past the brilliantly lighted conservatory, into the president escorting Mrs. Henderson and the speaker of the house supporting Mrs. McKinley. "The first lady," who, the health is enjoying unusually good health this week, "gown of white lace and cameo-tailed satin, diamond necklace and a white aigrette in her hair. Mrs. Henderson and handsome in lavender satin, flounced with white lace. Mrs. Gage was regal in silver white brocade and lace. Her houseguest, Miss Cox of Chicago wore a graceful gown of blue satin. Mrs. Root, shell-pink satin under a white silk under black Brussels net and marmalade vet ribbon. The wife of Burrows, a very splendid cream-colored brocade, with a profusion of point lace. The wife of Reine Kapp, amphure blue velvet. The wife of Reine Grosvenor, white brocade and lace. One thing is particularly noticeable in this good new century, viz. that in so far there are no longer any old ladies, at least in the past, who are concerned. Great-grandmothers army they the hues and styles, that please them regardless of silvery locks and the very chisel white, while sober black and white, that concern to which all women past the fifty years used confine themselves are now relegated to girls in their "teens," whose rosette-complexions can bear them best in the night the president and Mrs. McKinley and the interim dined with the secretary of the treasury and Mrs. Gage—the additional guest being Chief Justice and Mrs. Fuller, Senior Counsel and Mrs. Daniel Mauning and Miss Lloyd Page. The table was with carnations of all colors, and the candles burned under rose-pink shades. Mrs. Gage were an artistic combination of arabesque designs. Owing to the abrasive nature, neither Mrs. Long nor Mrs. Griggs nor Secretary and Mrs. Hay was able to be present. Mime. Wilde, the beautiful woman, the teacher, the temporarily absent from society, the count of influenza, while Admiral and Mrs. Dewey are also in retirement for the lady to be going to the death of Mrs. Dewey's mother, the another sex question of precedence between the wife of the admiral of the army and the wife of the lieutenant general of the army, which at one time bid fair to many society from center to circumference.

Two Remarkable Specimens From Over the Seas. A big Norwegian timer summed very-old, sluggish and weedy—sailed into Ramsgate harbor one day, and after her followed a mighty shoal of mullet, a very large, they filled the outer harbor till the water seemed stiff with them. When the deck gates opened and the ship went through into the inner basin the great shoal of mullet followed, swarming in the bark's wake. They were seeking shelter, on were attracted by the trailing growth of weeds on the old ship's undersides, is a matter for guessing. When the lode was out the dock sluices were opened and the water drained off. The bottom of the dock was four feet deep in kicking, jumping, and swirling, large ones of two pounds and upward, to clear them out, with the help of twenty men, and the bottom fish were crushed flat by the weight of those on top. that catcher reached 1300 in a few hours.

But through the breach in the emerald sea, the fish of mackerel were event by the incursion in the course of a few days, the water was drained off, the whole meadow, which had lain under some four feet of water, was carpeted a foot deep with fish. It was a wonderful sight. All the varta were spotted and unsuspected, deemed to the service, and in thirty-five hours the mackerel were cleared off, fetching over £200 in the London market. Some thousands more of the fish were spotted and unsuspected, but the farmer was out of the proceeds, and was, nocever, £70 to the good.

CASHE, 151 East Twelfth street THE BUSINESS MEN'S CLUB The January meeting of the Business Men's club was held at the residence of Mr. J. J. Q. Adams Monday night. This was the first meeting of the club at a private residence, but it proved to be highly enjoyable. For the first time since the organization of the club, President Gibbs was absent, and the meeting was presided over by the vice president, F. L. McGhee. The regular routine business was gone and the buffet lunch, which was very satisfactory, was enjoyed by all. The members were pleased of the dainty, toothsome lunch, especially the "Lemolactyl," a new ice which was furnished. The program consisted of an admirable address by Mr. F. L. McGhee, a monologue by Mr. Geo. W. James and a recitation of Paul Laurence Dunbars, "When the Corn Pone's Hot," by Mr. W. K. Morrils. By some unaccountable means, in the report of the December meeting, the fact was not stated by Harry Shepherd was awarded the prize for giving the best story. The prize was presented by Miss Mary Morgan in a very happy manner. A HOLE IN THE GROUND At the Grand Opera House, St. Paul Hoyt's merriest force, "A Hole in the Ground," with the strongest and best cast ever seen in a Hoyt comedy, including Charles Cowles, Barry Maxwell, Frank Young, the Trans-Atlantic Comedy Foul, India Palmer, Young and Devole, Anna Clay, Dorothy Alden, and twenty other prominent artists will be seen at the Grand Opera House the coming week, commencing Sunday night at 8:15. Mr. Hoyt conceived the idea of this clever satire at a small railway station in New York where he missed a train connection and was a passenger on a branch line. The characters in the play are counterparts of the originals with whom he came in contact during his enforced stay at the station. THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER Possibly the best character in the play is that of the "Stranger," an eccentric individual, whose anomalistic tendencies are excepted to by an overly officious station agent, a typical baggage "smasher," a tramp baseball umpire, a perit lunch counter girl, a number of commercial travelers and the usual mixed assemblage found at places of this kind. Duluth Minn The residence of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hodges, Lester Park, was the scene of a brilliant affair Thursday, Jan. 10, it being a birthday party in honor of Mr. Hodges.

Rules for Taking Care of Plants in the House. Nine-tenths of the windows used for window gardening are too crowded for the plants to look well or do well. Turn a new leaf right now by throwing away every poor or insignificant growth. Better to buy new stock in the spring than to turn your precious window space into a hospital ward for sickly plants. Keep the plants immaculately clean. Wash the leaves once or twice every week. A plant's lungs are in its leaves. Showering the foliage washes the dust out of the pores, refreshes the plant and imparts vigor. Besides this, clean plants do not harbor insects, the greatest foe of the indoor garden, and the hardest to fight. Loosen the crusted earth at the top of the pots. The roots need air and in soft, pliable earth they get it by capillary transmission. A hard top crust seals the soil up as though in a jug. Neither air nor wa- Defective Page WHAT HAS THE EXTRA PACK?

Slide the shades up to the top of the upper sash; take down the curtains at the plant windows and let God's invigorating sun shine in. Sunshine to a plant is what gold is to a Klondike miner. In extremely cold weather stay the watering pot. Plants need little water during severe weather, and they chill or freeze twice as quickly after a fresh drenching. If watering becomes absolutely necessary have it the temperature of the room and give only in the morning. Watering in the evening during a cold snap is to invite a visit from Jack Frost. Pot your plants. Turn them, train them into shape as they grow; pick off every dead leaf or faded flower. Haphazard care does not house plants. Appalling Danger. It appears to be dawning on the minds of European statesmen that an 8? palling dangers might arise from the armament and equipment of the Oriental peoples with modern weapons of destruction. It is estimated that China could readily put in the field an army of from a million to five millions of men. If these troops were provided with modern rifles and effective artillery, it can readily be seen that China would be impregnable because of the overwhelming numbers it could command. It would be a singular result of the greed for wealth if Germany, in the event of war with China, should find the latter using against its invaders the arms and ammunitions of war to semi-civilized nations is agitating the English parliament, and not long since an attempt was made to pass a bill in that body placing limitations on the exports of military supplies.—Leslie's. Discretion sometimes seals one's ulgs. BAN CULM BANKS AFIRE Coal Dust Neur Wilkesbarre Burning for Twenty-Five Years Culm is curious stuff, and there seems to be an abundance of it. People who travel through the mining regions always inquire about the great mountains of coal dust that rise in every direction, some of them 200 feet in height. These piles of culm often catch fire either by accident or spontaneous combustion, and it is almost impossible to extinguish them. At night the red glare is visible all over the valleys. Near Wilkesbarre a culm bank has been burning for 25 years. Various attempts have been made to quench the fire, but it is just as bright and vigorous today as it was a quarter of a century ago, and the company having abandoned its efforts to put out the fire, feeds it regularly by dumping fresh culm upon the flames. If this was not done the fire would eat its way into the great bank and ultimately break out in several places; as long as the surface fire is fed with fresh fuel it does not burrow into the heap. Formerly culm was considered dead waste, but some years ago a furnace was invented in which it can be utilized for steaming purposes after water has passed over it and foreign substances washed out. Therefore, more of the mining companies have erected washeries at their culm piles, and many manufacturing establishments have come into this neighborhood solely because they are able to use it as fuel.-Chicago Record. Sugar in France: One reason why the French people consume so little sugar is because their ways of living require less of that article. For the great mass of the French people breakfast consists of a bowl of soup, which is also frequently a part of the other two meals. Their drink is wine, and, as they use but little tea or coffee, especially in the country, there is scarcely any demand for sugar. They make neither preserves nor cake in the family. The usual dessert is fruit and cheese. The high tax of 5 cents per pound on sugar is pretty fully paid by the well-to-do people who live in the cities and who take coffee or chocolate for breakfast and a small cup of black coffee after dinner. Estate Willed to a Rector. Mr. and Mrs. John Danforth, full-blooded Oneida Indians, living on the reservation near Appleton, Wis., have made wills in which they bequeath property worth about $15,000. The entire estate is left to Rev. Hugh Lattimer Burleson, rector of St. Luke's Episcopal church at Rochester, N. Y. Burleson was formerly in charge of a church at Waupaca and is a son of Rev. Solomon Burleson, for many years Episcopal missionary on the Oneida reservation. The son has been adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Danforth, both by tribal and by legal process. BRIGHT LIGHTS. By the time a man gets to be famous he has ceased to care for fame. In politics every well regulated small boy sides with his grandfather. When other people drop things they are careless; when we drop them we are nervous. Call no woman old until she has ceased to throw apple parlings over her right shoulder. Man keeps two umbrellas under the delusion that he will have one at each end of the line when it rains.-Chicago Record. ROCHE'S WINES Dinner Wines. Pontet Claret $1.00 Per quart.....

It wilt be found that whatever Durifies, also fortifies the heart — Blair, Remember, your own soul must de illuminated before you can help oth- ers; the spring does not brim over with refreshing waters that has not a hidden source-—Light on the Hidden Way. Religion is the fear and love of God; its demonstration is good works; ana faith-is the root’ of both, for without faith we cannot please God; nor can we fear and love what-we do not be leve.—Penn, A religion that never suffices to gov- ern @ man will never suffice to save him. That which does not distinguish him trom a sinful world will never dis- tinguish him from a perishing world. —Iohn Howe, The true law of every life, the only law of life, is consecration.

Ware. “The good work of the world is don’ either in pure and unvexed instinct of duty; or else, and better, it {s cheerful and helpful doing of what the hand finds to do, in surety that at the even- ing time whatsoever is right the Mas- ter will give—Jobn Ruskin. ‘The child of God does not look back- ‘ward to gain frosh energy.

WISE AND OTHERWISE. A long walk fs a severe trial for the human understanding, _ Ingratitude Is a vice that renders all others less disgusting, In the ladder of success there are many rounds of failure. ‘The gloomiest mountain doesn’t cast ‘a shadow on both sides at once, ‘The prudent society belle tries to make her waist as little as possible. Don't dress to show. ‘The thinnest soap bubbles wear the grandest col- ‘The fashionable boarding house ta- ble show show less gilding and more carving, Ambition 1s the road that leads to fame, but you can’t travel over it on a pass, ‘The average baby has no carthly use for anything he can't put_in his mouth. in A wife never objects to her husband sowing tares—providing they are soli- tares for her own personal adornment. ‘When a married man is missing from ome his neighbors wonder, whether he ran away with a woman or from one, Disappointment doesn't affect men and women the same. When a man runs across an old love letter he wrote to his wife he laughs, but his wife cries, he, TO AVOID cCoLDs, Take plenty of outdoor exercise. Never go to bed with cold or damp feet, Never lean with the back against anything that is cold, Never take warm drinks and then immediately go out Into the cold. Never venture out in the morning before fortifying the systema with food. Never sit. by an open window in a car after any kind of exercise—it Is dangerous to health. Never omit daily bathing, for unless the skin is in active condition the cold will close the pores and favor conges- tion, Never stand still in cold weather, especially after having taken exercise, and always avoid standing on ice or snow where the person is exposed to the slightest draught, ‘When hoarse, speak as little as pos- sible, When going from a warm room into colder atmosphere keep the mouth closed and breathe through the nos- trils so that‘the air may be sufficient- ly warmed before it reaches the lungs. Bat plain, nourishing food. —Ameri- ‘can Queen, PRESERVING LACES. Iron lace on the right side first, then on the wrong side, to throw up the pattern. When ironing laces cover them with clean, white ussue paper. ‘This pre- vents the shiny look seen on washed lace, When putting lace away, fold a8 lit- tle as possible. A good plan is to wind It round a card; as they do in the shops. Use cornflour instead of ordinary starch for stiffening laces. ‘This makes them firm and does not detract from the “lacey” appearance. Laces and other delicate trifles should be placed in a muslin bag before be- ing. boiled. This prevents thelr get- ting lost and torn in the wash. _ SUEIETY BIRELTURY. ———E ST.
