ROMANTIC RISE AND FALL OF
TOUSSAINT L’OUVERTURE.
A Character In History Which Has Fur-
nlNhetl t, Theme for Foot* and Orators.
Napoleon's linen Treatment or tho Grent
General—It Is Untimely IClltl,
Thirty years ago Tonsaaint L’Ouver-
turo was a name to conjure with. Poets
and orators described his virtues and his
genius and cited him ns an illustrious
example of tho capabilities of his race.
A romantic interest will always attach
to his name. Tho fact that for fifty-four
years lie lived in deepest obscurity ns a
slave on a Iluytian plantation and the
epic character of his subsequent achieve
ments give if tinge of antique heroism to
his history,
The French colony in Huyti was long
ono of (ho greatest slave inarts iu the
world. At tlie time of tho French revo
lution there wore in the colony 30,000
whites, 20,000 free mnlattoes and 500,000
slaves. The mnlattoes, many of whom
had been educated in France, took ad
vantage of the revolution and obtained
a recognition of their political rights
from the French assembly: the whites of
llayti refused to recognize the decision
and a war broke out which was soon
complicated by an uprising of tho whole
slave population. On a memorable night
in August, 1701, the plantations were
fired and many of the whites were mur
dered.
Tonssaint had not at this time ac
quired tho name of L’Ouverture. This
word, meaning “tho opening,” was ap
plied to him ufterward because he
opened a way for tho freedom' of his race
through the chaotic conditions of the
following years.
In tho dreadful wars of tho years fol
lowing the nprisul of the slaves his ex
traordinary influence over his raco and
his military genius gave him pro-emi-
noiico over all other chiefs. A design
of freeing his raco, which could only be
accomplished by making it the ruling
race of Hayti, gradually took shape in
his mind and forms tho key note of his
career.
France, Spain and England each bid
high for his alliance, but France de
clared for tho freedom of tho slaves and
lie finally ranged himself under the
French flag. It was evidently his desire
to maintain a desirable connection with
a European power which would yet’
leave him at liberty to develop bis plans'
for his own race, but tho realization of
his idea required a disinterested Go-op
eration of which no European govern
ment was capable.
In a few years lie bad beon recognized
by Franco ns commander in chief of the
army of Hayti and was practically dic
tator of tho island.
As a ruler of Hayti ho surrounded
himself with tho pomp of a prince, al
though personally lie retained habits of
severe simplicity. He ate sparingly and
slept little, being possessed of extraor
dinary powers of endurance. In dignity
of manner he was entirely equal to his
position. lie endeavored to reconcile
conflicting races, aud his rule was im
partial and ublo.
But Napoleon was not tho man to al
low a dictator under himself. Ho Bent
an army of 110,000 men to Hayti to re
store slavery and reduce tho colony to
subjection.
Suspecting the true purpose of tho ex
pedition, Tonssaint resisted tho landing
of the army, but finally laid down his
anus after ho had been assured that
there was no intention of restoring
slavery aud that lie iujured the cause of
his raco by resistance.
Ho was still too powerful to bo openly
seized, but he was decoyed into the
French quarters and wah then hurried
ou board a vessel and carried to France.
He hoped to meet Napoleon aud dofend
his conduct, but on landing he was se
cretly hurried to a lonely fortress in tho
Alps, where ho shortly afterward died.
Many wild stories attributing Ills death
to murder found credence at the time.
Neglect and tho change from a tropic to
an Alpine climate doubtless hastened
his end.
By his removal the progress of his
raco was incalculably retarded.
While Toussaiut's fate and place of im
prisonment were still unknown, Wads
worth wrote tho beautiful sonnet, “To
Tonssaint L’Ouvorturo." His history is
tho subject of a drama by Lamartine,
and of a novel, “Tho Hour and tlie
Man,” by Harriet Murtineau. During
tho anltslavory agitation in tho United
States ho was cited as a most illustrious
example of tho real capabilities of his
rnce. A poem by Whittier and an ora
tion by Wendell Phillips commemorate
his virtues aud his genius.—Detroit Free
Press.
Wide Columns and the Eyesight.
Eye experts insist that people who
wish to preserve tlioir eyesight will do
well to coniine their reading as far as
possible to round, fat faced type, and to
avoid that which is tall aud thin. It
was tho shape of tlie type of the tiny
edition of Dante produced at the French
exposition almost as much as its minute
ness which blinded some of tho persons
engaged in correcting tho sheets.
Another important point is to avoid
too wide a column or the eye is strained.
The only way to neutralize tho tendency
to such strain i3 to turn the head from
siilo to side, after tho manner of short
sighted people. Tlie width of a column
of reading matter ought not to exceed
nt the outside two inches, because that
is about tho natural range of the eye
when the head is kept motionless.—
Pittsburg Dispatch.
Where Emeralds Como From.
New emerald mines have been discov
ered at Vegetable creek, in New South
“Wales. They are yielding many fine
stones, but the supply is still mainly de
rived from the ancient deposits in the
United States of Colombia, which have
been worked for more than three cen
turies. There the gems are dug out of
black limestone by primitive methods,
with pickax and blasting.—-New York

Fire In Australia.
In wot weather it is usual for the
Australian aborigine to carry in the
hand, beneath the kangaroo skin, a
piece of smoldering wood, which com
pensates the bearer in some sort for the
want of a flannel waistcoat, and en
ables him to light a lire nt a moment's
notice.
Ono of our men had also a plnn on
cold nights of lying down, rolled up in
his furs, upon the ashes of a raked out
fire. lie explained to my husband that
tho advantage of thus going to bod was
twofold, being no less good for warmth
than for concealment, especially when
passing tho night in a strange place,
where tho keeping up of a fire after dark
might attract tho notice of unfriendly
natives.
Each tribe possesses a territory of its
own, and each family of tho tribe has
its own especial tract of land within
that territory. Hero a man can light
his fire and build liis hut without fear
of molestation. It is in fact his pater
nal estate, so that tlie word “liro” con
veys to an Australian tho same mean
ing of fatherland or birthplace as tho
word “hearth” conveys to a European,
and is used by the aborigines in the
samo sense.—Mrs. Millelt.
Property Among; Ant. mill Iloe,.
The collective system of property
must have lasted among ants and hoes
for many thousands of years, for, apart
from cases of demoralization such us
may, for example, bo produced a nong
bees by giving them a taste for drunk
enness, these intelligent insects show
the most absolute deference and devo
tion to social property. Their primi
tive selfishness has broadened out into
a collective or patriotic egoism. But
these very social species, with their
more than Christian charity, have not
reached this high degree of civilization
at ono bound. In tho ant and lice
worlds, ns in our own, there are sav
ages. Thero are still at tho present
time certain species of ants ignorant of
J ho division of labor carried so far
among (heir civilized congeners.—

ment.”
Sportive I,am),*.
A flock of ewes and lambs wero onco
observed in adjoining fields, separated
by a fence with several gaps in it. "Fol
low my loader” was the game most in
favor with this flock, tho biggest lamb
leading around the field and then jump
ing tho gap, with all tho others follow
ing in single file. Any lamb that took
tho leap unusually well would give two
or throo more enthusiastic jumps out of
shoer exuberant happiness when it
rouchod the other side. Fawns played
a sort of cross touch i ron) ono side to
the other, tho “touch" iu each case be
ing by the nose.—Loudon Tit-Bits,
The Colors of Amber.
Amber has a wonderful variety of
colors. Some of it is ns clear as crystal,
soino as yellow as honey, somo light
blue and again a transparent green.
Then it is found as white as snow, the
color of cream, and often many of these
tints are blended in ono piece. Thero is
a popular notion to tho effect that am
ber lias curative qualities for such ail
ments as croup and sore throat, and
many thousand necklaces of it nre Bold
annually for that purpose.—Interview

Uu
to Conciliate an Editor.
“You look awful blue. What is tlie
matter with you?"
"That editor has sent back my last
batch of pooms. I wish I knew how to
got his good will.”
“That’s easy enough done.”
“How nan I to do it to put him in
good humor?”
“Don’t send him nny moro of your
poetry.”—Texas Siftings.
In Kentucky tho public school teach
ers are not paid a fixed salary, but re
ceive so much for cacli pupil. This plan
has one good effect, that of stimulating
teachers to secure scholars and thus ex
tend tho benefits of education, but some
have beon found making false returns.
All intelligent persons are familiar
with the fuefc that the body is in a per

processes balance each other in a
healthy and normal physical condition.
Adding Insult to Injur)*.
“Talk about adding insult to injury,"
paid Luvrum, as with the aid of a heavy
cane he hobblert to his favorito seat in
the Round*-rs’ club the other afternoon,
“something happened to mo last night
that capped the climax in that direction
so far as my experience goes. 1 dined
some friends of mine from out of town
last evening. They wero old college
chuniR, you know, and ns we had not
met for years we lingered long over tho
table, and the loving cup was passed
steadily around until my friends had to
leave for a midnight train. It was a
very hot night. I was very much be
fuddled, and, as is my custom on snob
rare occasions, I turned my feet Turkish
bathward. 1 went down into the hot
room. A strong desire came upon me to
jump into the big cold plunge. there
without waiting for tho usual scrubbing
by the attendant.
"It has been my habit to forego the
uso of tho stairs loading down into the
plunge, aud to simply get up on tho
marble railing and fall off backward
into tho cooling waters. 8o up on tho
marble railing I stepped and throw my
self off. There was not a solitary drop
of water in that plunge. Tho attendants
had emptied it for tho purpose of clean
ing it. Down I went full six feet, and
landed squarely on my hack on tho mar
ble bottom. No, I did not break my
back and fracture my skull, though it is
a wonder that I did not.
"So much for tho injury. Now let mo
tell you about the insult. As I lay there
on my back partially stunnud un attend
ant came, and shaking mo roughly by
the shoulder said, ‘Say, if you do that
again you will bo put outl’ If I did it
again I would ho put out! Wonder if
ho thought 1 did it for fun?"—Now York
Times,
WliltB Paper Nut Wanted,
“Tliero is no such thing ns waste
paper," said tho junk dealer to a re
porter. “Hardly a scrap of white paper
is wasted. Every bit of it that is thrown
away is carefully gathered up and finds
its way eventually to tho mill again to
ho mace over. Tho notebook in your
hand may furnish material for the pages
on which you will writo a letter six
months hence, and perhaps a year later
you will unknowingly find it incorpo
rated in n summer novel with yellow
covers. Thus tho stock of paper that
supplies the world is used over and over
nguin indefinitely through tho medium
of tho scavengers, the dealers in junk
and the factories, which are continually
ongaged in transforming tho discarded
material into fresh and clean shoots.
“Brown paper, howovor, is different.
Because it is composed of nothing more
valuable than straw it is mostly thrown
away and never used again. 1 would
not pay you twenty-five cents for a ton
of it. A few years ago old newspapers
wero worth four cents a pound, being
made of rags. Now they are manu
factured out of wood pulp and straw,
and their murk ot value is only a quarter
of a cent a pound. Oflice paper, such
as old billsund such scraps’ are worth
the same price as newspapers, whilo
what wo call "office sweepings,” com
posed largely of envelopes, nre quoted
at fifteen cents a hundredweight!”—
Washington 8tnr,
The I.iteniry Ferment In France.
Philarete Chaslos relates iu his me
moirs how one afternoon, ns ho was at
work in his newspaper office, a young
man with a military air, looking as bold
as if l)o wero going to tho wars, knocked
imperiously at tho door, walked in, sat
down aud said, without further pre
amble:
"Monsieur, 1 nm Hugo."
Then, ufter handing to Chnsles tho
famous yellow covered book with tho
password “Hierro” on tho title page, ho
asked him if he was on his side or not.
and continued:
“Monsieur, not only are we going to
change poetry, which needs a funda
mental revolution, but grammar also.
What do you think about our prosody?
French prosody must be completely over
hauled.”
So it is in France, wliero neither centu
ries nor years count, but only minutes
and seconds, tho shock of contraries and
the violence of reaction. The French
must always be fighting about some-
tliing—eveu for Boileau against Ron-
sard, und for Nonotte against Voltaire.
Printers’ ink must smell of powder,
otherwise life seems insipid and thought
without any savor. Victor Hugo’s visit
to Chasles is typical.—Theodore Child
in Harper’s.
It is nn interesting fact that out of
sixteen cities of over 200,000 population
in tho United States, fourteen, or over
87 per cent., are using the electrical rail

Eccentric Wills.
Eccentricity, and nothing else, distin
guishes tlie will proved ki 1724 of Henry
Trigg, of Stonage, of the county of
Hertford, grocer, who directed that his
body should bo committed to tho west
end of his hovel, to bo docontly laid
thero upon a floor erected by his execu
tors; and only sixty years ago, it is said,
tho bones of Mr. Trigg still remained
unburied in tho rafters at tlie west end
of his hovel aforesaid. A provision,
quite as bizarre, was made in tho will of
tho philosophic Jeremy Bentham, who
enjoined his executors to embalm his
corpse und dress it in the clothes which
he was accustomed to wear in his life
time, in order that ho might form tho
text of a lecture to ho delivered annu
ally at a literary institute held at a
school of anatomy in Windmill street,
Haymarket.
On the occasion of one of tlie lectures
on Jeremy Bentham’s mtjmmy tho ven
erable philosopher's head fell off and
came to irremediable griof, whereupon
nn artificial head was modeled in wax
by Miss Margaret Gillies, tho distin
guished miniature painter, but the
mummy with the waxen head has long
Binco faded out of the public ken.—Lon

Saving HIh Father's Hair.
Lord Charles was often troubled by
importunate acquaintances, who begged
for some of his father’s (the Duke of

cut off another lock!”—Fortnightly Re-
Tlie XVny Astronomers Find Out from
tho Stars When It Is Noon.
The time for sending out the noon
signal from Washington is tho instant
the sun crosses the seventy-fifth meri
dian, T his, however, is not tlie sun
which giveH us light and heat, but au
invisible, imaginary one: bocatiso, for
certain reasons, tho truo sun does not
cross tho meridian ut tho same moment
every day, but during olio part of the
year he gets over it a little moro ahead
of time each day, and during tho other
pnrt ho is correspondingly behind time;
und so this fictitious sun is used, be
cause it^apparent path around tho earth
brings it exactly over tho samo line at
tho same moment every day. Now at
just what instant this sun crosses the
meridian is determined by means of tho
Btnrs, for timo ut tlie observatory is not
reckoned by the sun hut by the stars.
Every clear night an astronomer at the
observatory looks through a largo tele
scope for certain stars which he knows
must cross n certain lino at certain times,
and by tho uso of an electrical machine
ho makes a record of the time cnch star
passes, as shown by a clock which keeps
sidereal or star time. Ho then consults
a printed table, which shows him ut just
"’hnt lime each star must have passed,
and by ns much as this time differs from
that recorded by tho clock tho latter is
wrong, and in that way tho sidereal
clock is regulated. This star time is then
reduced to sun timo, which requirosBoino
calculation, as thero is a difference bo-
tween tho two of about four minutes
each day.
Theso two clocks—tho ono keeping star
time and tho other sun timo—are of very
fine quality, and are ns near perfection
ns possible. Although they cannot help
boiug nffected by changes of tempera
ture und different conditions of the at
mosphere, they very rarely are moro
than a fractional part of a second out of
tho way. No attempt is over made to
correct such errors, but they are care
fully noted and allowed for in making
calculations.
For tho purpose of distributing time a
third clock, known ns a transmitter, is
used. This is set to keep timo by the
seventy-fifth meridian and is regulated
by tho standard clock beforo mentioned.
It is in all respects similar to tho otiier
clocks, except that it lias attached to it
an ingenious devico by which an electric
circuit may bo alternately opened and
closed with each boat of tho pendulum.

A Curious Cuve.
The cave temple of Kuril, India, is
rightly considered ono of the greatest
wonders of tho world. This gigantic
rccesa in tho mountain ledgo has Loon
chiseled by human bands from porphyry
ns hard as tho hardest flint. The nave
is 124 feet long, 45 feet broad und 40
feet from floor to celling. Before the
entrance to tho temple stands u monster
stone elephunt, upon whoso back is seat
ed a colossal goddess, ull hewed from one
culld block of stone. Like the temple
walls and the outside ornaments, every
urticlo of adorning sculpture on tho in
side is hewed from the nativo rock.
Thero nre aisles on ouch side sep
arated from tho nave by octagonal pil
lars of stono. The capital of each pillar
iArownod with two kneeling elephants,
on whoso backs aro seated two figures,
representing tho divinities to whom the
temple is dedicated. These figures are
perfect and of beautiful features, as tn-
deed are all tho representations of
deities and divinities in this peculiar
temple.
Tho repulsiveness so characteristic of
modern Hindoo and Chincso pagodas is
here wholly wanting. Each figure is
true to life, or rather to art, thero be
ing no mythical half horse, half man or
beast birds depicted in this underground
wonder of Karli. This wondrous under
ground pagoda or cave temple has been
a standing puzzle for the learned ar-
chusologists of both Europe anil Asia for
tho last 2,500 years, and is us much of
an enigma today as it was in the time of
Confucius. — Philadelphia Press.
A lllbllophlte Indeed.
A lady left some very precious first
editions of a book in throe volumes in it
hansom whilo she went iuto a shop—a
risky thing in itself to do. When she
came out of tho shop she couldn't find
the hansom, which hail been made to
move on by a policeman, uud in despair
took another, and just saved the train
which she had to catch at Charing
Cross. After waiting for an hour and
a half tlie cabman thought there wus
something queer going ou and endeuv-
orod to find Ins faro, without success of
course. Then he looked inside tlie cab,
saw the hooks and some parcels, and
convoyed them all to Scotland Yard.
And here comas the pith of tho story.
The lady applied tlie following day for
her precious books and got them. It
was suggested that she should pay u
certain quite adequate sum as recom
pense to the cabman. But the lady was
indignant. That sum, she averred, did
not in any degree represent the percent
age due on tlie enormous value of the
tomes. They were worth something
stupendous. She mentioned what Quar-
itch valued them nt. And quite cheer
fully she paid a sum that made a com
fortable nest egg for the cabman. She
nlso made tlie Scotland Yard official
