Dog.
1 was down at Boulogne not long ago ami
•trolled over the Immense natural amphi
theatre which spreads out on the right of tlio
fort facing the English channel, where, in
1804, the troops of France to the number of
over 100,000 were looking toward London.
One particular day in August Napoleon Bona
parte drew up this army before the stones
that mnrk the tower that Cfesar built. The
sky was a cloudless blue, the air so dry and
pure that across tho waters the outlines of a
foreign coast stood sharply defined against
the horizon, and the frowning fortifications
■of Dover, with the English sliipsof war riding
at anchor, could lie seen easily. The/Jramle
Armee was there, victors of Arcs le, of the
Pyramids, all of them, every mother’s son of
them; and vivandiers, too, burnt by the sun
of every clime, proud with glory conquered
■on many soils, helmets, bayonets, swords and
■cuirasses flooded with the golden rays of a
■summer’s sun, and all waiting for their em
peror.
Tn the center of this mighty plain stand
ards and (lags and eagles richly gilded cov
ered the green that stretched out before the
throne where the Little Corporal was to take
his stand, and which was shaded by an ar
rangement of the many flags that had been
■captured from enemies. War hoi-scs neighed
and stamped their feet, arms sparkled, stand-
yjds shono out brightly and the murmur of
soldiers rolled in waves to tho foot of this im
perial throne, like unto the mighty waves
that beat in foaming breakers against the
.reeks where shore and sea are wedded. One
hundred thousand heroes were there to see
their general fasten with his own hand to the
breast of comrades tho red and burning
flower of battlefields; red, not lilto the rose
that dudes wear ns boutonnieres, nor such a
red as women daub on their faces, hut red
like tho flame which is belched from tho can
non's mouth in tho heat of combat, red like
the crimson blood that gushes from the open
•wound of a saber’s stroke, red like the living
hearts of heroes. He mado the ribbon red so
is to perpetuate on tho breast of those to
whom lie gave tho cross the sublime wounds
received for their nativo land.
TUB MIGHTY COMMANDER.
Bugles sounded, the beat of 2,000 drums
was heard, and 500 camion thundered also in
the salute thus given un emperor. The eurtli
shook as if with an earthquake, the smoko of
gunpowder clouded tho sky, and across the
shimmering sea England, boliiud her wooden
ships, heard the army thus proclaim the pres
ence of one who had already conquered near
ly the whole of Europe. Accompanied by
his brother, his marshals and many generals,
Napoleon mounted the steps of his throne,
;and the grand army gave forth a great cheer
that went ovor tho waves and was echoed
'buck by the white cliffs of Albion. Then a
deep silence fell on all. The mighty com
mander, as grave and solemn or, any god that
ever graced Olympus, stood up and glanced
■over his faithful soldiers. Two marshals came
to his side, one carrying the helmet of Bay;
.ard, the other tlmt of Duguesclin, and both
helmets were filled with crosses of the new
order. On an ancient shield two generals
supported more crosses, and private soldiers
carried golden eagles that had conic from
Rome. The military virtues and glories cf
all the past centuries of French history were
thus united to tho glorious records of the
present that ho was writing on tho face of the
Old World.
The names of those who were to Re mem
bers of the new Legion of Honor were then
•called out, and as they formed in line those
trembled now who had never trembled in the
midst of tho fiercest carnngo. All tho legion
aries repeated the vow utter their emperor,
and as each glorious name was called it was
acclaimed by enthusiastic shouts, the roll of
drums, and the cannons’ sound. Thus was
tho order of the famous Legion d’Honneur
instituted under the very oyes and within
sound of i’s founder’s most implacable enemy.
TI1E OLD GVARD.
Somo years ago I sav at tho Invalldes a
■one armed man in uniform, who was that
•same day a spectator of this morning scene.
Ho wore tho cross on his breast, but it was
not- given bim until later on, and tho story of
how he came to receive it is a noble one.
When tbo emperor of Russia was visiting the
emperor of the French, Napoleon had pa
raded on tho Champ de Mars several thousand
soldiers. Tho Old Guard were there and half
of them were bearers of terrific wounds.
The two emperors stopped their horses to
look at tbeso heroic men. It was after
Austerlitz.
“My brother, what do you think of soldiers
who will stay to take such wounds as those r
asked Napoleon, proudly.
“And what do you think of soldiers who
■could give thorn?” wns the quick reply. Then
from the ranks stepped out a private, who
lifted his left hand in salute, for tho right
was gone, und said:
“Sire, they nre all dead!" and ho stepped
back to his place again.
From his own breast Napoleon took the
cross ho wore, beckoned to the man, und then
and there pinned it ovor as brave a heart ns
ever wore a uniform. The “Star of the
Brave," so Lord Byron lauded it. and it is
still the nemo of martial ambition, ns it is
also the dream of Frenchmen. “Why, were
you not afraid?” asked a good bourgeois of
his soldier nephew lately returned from Ton-
quin. “Ma’ foil when I looked on thi3 strip
of red ribbon at my breast I didn’t seem to
care alxmt a few drops of blood more or less,
and I remembered that it was President
Grevy himself who gave it to me”
The only persons in this country who never
liked tlds decoration were the communists.—
Paris Cor. San Francisco Chronicle.
Night Air Not. Objectionable,
“It often has seemed queer to mo that so
many object »o night air in their bedrooms,”
observed an intelligent gentleman. “We
can’t breathe any other at night. The choice
is between probably pure air from without
and certainly foul air from within. Half the
diseases from which wo suffer are caused by
keeping the windows down. Tbo quietness,
the absence of dust and smoko, etc., make
night the best time for airing a patient. Xu
great cities night uir is often the purest that
can be had in the twenty-four hours. It is
conceded that the air in London is never so
good as after 10 o’clock at night. Windows
are made to open, doors nre made to shut,
yet too muny of us seem to forget that. I
keep bedroom windows open these summer
nights, and there isn't a more healthy family
In tho city than mine."—Philadelphia Call.
Evening Amusements.
Dr. Norvin Green, president of the Western
Union Telegraph company, thinks that a
great many men break down from overwork
He believes in evening amusements that tnk
the mind away from the shop after work U
done. He seldom works at night and triej
never to do so.—Chicago Times.
Trouble Caused by tho Aetor’s
Irishman and Songbird.
Mr. Iloury E. Dixey is the owner of a
St. Bernard dog that welghB perhaps 800
pounds, and, after the fashion of the lamb
that was plutonfcally attached to Mary,
tlds dog accompanies Mr. Dixey wherever
Mr. Dixey goes. Twice across the ocean
and all over this continent makes Prince
the most extensive traveler of the canine
kind. Mr. Dixey and his leviathan dog
were having a romp through the four or live
rooms occupied by tho Clan Dixey nt the
Hotel Richelieu. First Mr. Dixey would
shut the dog up in the folding bed and
hide himself in the wardrobe; then the
dog would break away from the folding
bed and begin a hunt for Dixey, humor
ously tipping over tables and chairs, as
humorously breaking the crockery, and
still more humorously accompanying his
labors with volcanic vocal eruptions ex
pressive of fear, hope, anticipation, joy,
etc. This play lasted for about an hour,
Mrs. Dixey sitting In the front room mean
while smiling contentedly and thinking to
herself how much lietter it was for Henry
to be passing a quiet afternoon at homo
than to bo frittering away liis timo in tho
company of frivolous men about town.
But Mine. Patti, whose apartments nt the
Richelieu aro located directly under tho
Dixey rooms, must have thought different,
for while Mr. Dixey and his dog were in
tho midst of their gonial sport—or, wo
might say, while the festivities were at
their height, there came a knock at tho
door and Mmo. Patti's maid llortense,
looking liko one of tho “Two Orphans,”
presented this message: “Mine. Patti
complemongs Mine. Dix-seo, and will
Mmo. Dix-seo have ze goodness to mako
her liriln boy stop to play wiz ze dog?”
Mr. Dixey was highly indignant; he did
not cave so much for himself, but tho in
sult to tho dog was one that he could
scarcely brook. Next morning, as lie lay
In his bed, he became cognizant of an an
gelic voice soaring in song—n voice so
heavenly that it stayed not in the porches
of his ear hut penetrated to tho innermost
recesses of Mr. .Dixey’s very soul and
filled his whole being with an ocstacy of
ineffable delight.
“Ida, my dear,” called Mr. Dixey to his
wife, who was sowing In an adjoining
room.
“What is it, Henry?" she answered.
“You’re in unusually good voice this
morning, my dear,” said Mr. Dixey. “I
don’t know when I’ve heard you sing so
pleasantly.”
“Why. Henry,” exclaimed Mrs. Dixey,
“I’ve not been singing; that was Mine.
Patti you heard—she is practicing Proch’s
variations, and Isn’t it just too lovely!”
But there wns a cold, meaningless glit-
ter.in Mr Dixey’s eye as he straightway
arose from his bed, donned trousers, and
put on ono of his red Hibernian wigs. A
few moments later, when, in answer to a
brutal knock, Mmo. Patti opened the door
of her parlor, the incomparable songbird’s
sloe like orbs beheld what seemed to he a
gaunt, raw Irishman standing in the por
tal. “Misthcr Dixey’s compliments to
yees, mum,” said this hulking appari
tion, “and wad yeez moind sthopping the
tra-la-la-loo, mum, till Misthcr Dixey
haven bit av Blape?”—Chicago Nows.

Superstition of tho Fortieth Year.
When I was traveling In Germany I
learned that there wns a superstition in
regard to tho fortieth year of each century
that was held by all Prussians and that
has its foundation in the history of the
empire. The fortieth year of each century
is regarded by them as marking the begin
ning of a new era, and in substantiation
of their belief they go hack to tho fifteenth
century. Frederick Iiohenzollern was a
simple burgrave of Nuremberg, who rose
to n great distinction and acquired largo
wealth. In the early part of tho fifteenth
century thcrold electoral house of Bran
denburg died out and tho right to name a
successor fell to the emperor of Germany.
Frederick Iiohenzollern bought the title,
but the nobility opposed his purchase, and,
after tho fashion of those days, some hot
lighting onsued which resulted in a decis
ive victory for Frederick in tho year 1440.
This is considered the beginning of tho
political and military power of the house
of Hohenzollern. In 1540 the elector of
Brandenburg embraced the Protestant
religion. In 1040 the great elector, as he
was called, ascended the throne, and by
skillful diplomacy and power of arms
acquired the kingdom of Prussia, which
he added to Brandenburg, thus doubling
anil trebling tho strength of his prin
cipality. In 1740 Frederick the Great
ascended the throne, and tn 1840 Freder
ick William IV ascended the throne, and
was succeeded by his brother, the present
emperor. During Frederick William
IV’s reign began the movement which
culminated in the insurrection of 1848,
and gave Prussia its constitutional govern
ment.—Globe Democrat.
Prices Paid to Doctors.
The public often marvels at the prices
paid by rich persons for art objects.
Greater surprise might lie caused by tho
sums to physicians for the preservation of
.ealth. It lias been said that Miss Wolfe,
the hopeless invalid owner of $10,000,000,
pays Dr. Toil Ilolmuth $5,000 a year to
doctor her. She confirms those ilguges.
Mrs. Alexander T. Stewart retained three
doctors at an aggregate cost of at least
$40,000, and called in one of them nearly
every day. She hail what seemed like a
system by which she abided by tho do
Cislonof two out of three in matters of diet
and medicines. Mrs. William Astor pays
to Dr. Fordyce Barker personally an aver
age of $20,000—always sending a check
for double or treble the umount of each
bill rendered. Her idea is that, by re
warding his skill and vigilance liberally,
she will get the very best service of which
lie is capable. Mrs. Cornelius Vander
bilt’s physician is Dr. W. S. Hidden, anil
although her health is excellent, he is
consulted often—prevention being prefer
able to cure, doubtless; and the belief is
that the prevention costs not less than
$10,000 annually.—Clara Belle’s Letter
A'New L’m) for Flint.
An eastern man has discovered a pro
cess by the addition of other cheap in
gredients of melting ordinary flint stone
at a low temperature. This discovery lfas
been covered by patents and is in the hands
of an eastern syndicate. The process pro
duces a beautiful marble like composition,
anil will be used for making, encoustlc
tiling, laundry and bath tubs and in the
production of works of art. Its wonderful
cheapness will enable it* introduction be
low the cost, of anything of the kind in the
market. It has been found to be superior
to either glass or rubber as an electrical
non-conductor, and its use in this direction
bids fair to be large.—Detroit Free Press.
Emotion NIailo to Order.
In all scenes requiring a blush, modern
actresses put the emotion on with a brush
before the curtain rises, und produce it at
the proper moment by rubbing off the
complexion powder.—Burlington B’ree
Press.

A FACT WORTH KNOWING.
FLOW£RS FOR FUNERALS. J
Designs ami Cost—A Rival of the
mortelle—Two Sets of Prices*
Among the endless number of designs thftfc.
from time to time adorn the window of fh.
well known east side florist is a five foot Bar*,
tholdi statue of the Goddess of Liberty. Th#
pedestal is made of n solid bank of slate coK
ored everlasting flowers, while the statue it*
self is made of rich dark reddish brown flow*,
ers that, although not exactly the color of;
weather beaten bronze, are very beautiful.
“How do you make such designs?” wa#
asked of the florist.
“Tho model is first blocked out with wirfcw
Then the flowers are put on with their stem#
squeezed in between the wires or tied to them
with thread, as circumstances dictate. Ther*
lias been a great change recently in the ?ort#
of flowers used for these designs. Formerly
we could use only the immortelles, the littl®
quarter inch flowers with which every one i*
familiar, blit which, as very few know, aro
imported from Germany* at considerable ex*
pensv*. In place of the immortelles we now
use Cape Mays. The Capo Mays are nearly
an inch in diameter, and therefore till up a
design faster, which makes them more de
sirable for us. They are of a brighter and
purer white, and when dyed the color showa
brighter, and • » the customer likes them

“Tho ‘Scale of Life,’ I guess. It consists off
a wire scale made something liko a druggist'*
scale. The beam in usually covered with sib
vor colored flowers and the standard with
something in imitation of bronze, while th®
bnso will be dnijeer still. A tlovo may bo
povched above the top.”
“What does it cost?”•
“Anywhere from ^10 to ifioo. The price®
of flowers for funeralH depeud so much on
circumstances tlmt no list cun be given. Tout
can buy, foV instance, a sheaf of wheat, or %
beautiful wreufh, or a small pillow for
larger ones would cost $5 to -10. A broken
column or n clock that may he set to the hour
at which tho deceased died would cost from
-•into One person would pay $40 fora
large model of n yacht to bo used at. tho
funeral of a yacht owner, while if a soair.au
on a yacht should die and his shipmates
wanted the samo piece to put on his coffin*
they could get it for or $30. If an elo*
vated tram man dies, his comrades can get a
handsome floral car for $30. Tho samo car
would cost tie* friends of Mr. Gould in cas®
of his death $50 or $fi()—possibly or $100
If bought on Fifth avenue. Pieces culled th®
‘Gates Ajar’ and the ‘Heavenly Arches’ may
he lm.1 as low ns $8, huh they are usually pul
together of a size to command $13 or $15.
Tho tact Is. the flowers on tho coffin co.sl
more than the tomb in which tho.deceased is
placed in many cases, and wo get money that
ought to go for food for tlioso left behind.
Haying tliut won’t help my business, but it’s th®
truth. It is no uncommon thing for peopl®
to spend tho earnings of a year in a funeral*
und it often happens that tho flowers cost
inoro than tho family will save in thre®
months.”
“It shows respect for tho dead, doesn't it?*
“No, it doesn’t. It shows n pitiful desire to
make a spread for the benefit of one’s neigh-*
hors; to create a talk through tho ward. It
come:: of the sort of prido that goes befor®
destruction.”—New York Hun.

“I came down pretty early tho other mom*

Hough on the Maiden Ladles.
They have a custom at the Andrew Presi
byterian church, Minneapolis, which has
brought great consternation to the widow®
and maiden ladies. It began with the chiU
dren and extended tf^lie congregation. On
each Sunday following a birthday tin* person!
who has thus shuffled off another year
marches to tho front and drops as many pen*
nies in the missionary box as he is years old.
It can readily bo seen how embarrassing thi®,
is to many. They resort to nil sorts of trick®,
to avoid divulging the truth. Sometimes &
lady will put in over a dollar, and as every*
body knows she is not a hundred years old, it
lets her out of the dilemma. Tho missionary
box is the gainer.—Pioneer Press.
First Governor of Illinois.
Few’ people nowadays, if asked who
the first governor of Illinois, would answer
Patrick Henry. Yet tin's is the ease. An act
was passed by the authorities of Virginia in
October, 177*, creating tho county of Illinois
(in tho state of Virginia), which embraced
the territory now forming the states of Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin*
making probably the largest county ever or-
ganized, exceeding th • wholeof Great Britain
and Irelun ! . and thus the grout orator of the
American revolution, Patrick Henry, then
governor • I V irginia, became the first gov
ernor of Tllinoi -. -Chicago Nows.
