Napoleon, tn a way, was fond of music. It is ihI mil ted that the mu sical tastes of “the Corsican ogre” were not elevated. But for all that he loved singing so much that many a time after n concert lie ordered the vocalists to come to llie palace nuil sing before him and the Empress Jo sephine. A curious anecdote fs told of Ills brusque manner of dealing with art ists. One night at a concert at the Tullerles, while Duport, tDo famous violoncellist, was performing a solo, the emperor suddenly entered. IDs majesty nodded bis head approvingly and when the piece was finished said to Duport: IIow the deuce do you manage to keep that Instrument so motionless?” And, taking up the cello, he tried to jam It between his spurred boots. Poor Duport nearly fainted when he saw his treasure -treated like a war horse. For several minutes he looked on, trembling from head to foot. At last, however, he darted forward and called out "Sire!” in such pathetic tones that tho emperor handed him back tho instrument. Duport thereupon showed how the instrument was held, but every time Ills Imperial master extended his hand to attempt to do it liimself Duport throw himself back In alarm till final ly Josephine whispered something to her husband, who hurst out laughing and put an end to tho cello lesson.— New’ York Sun. The Senate’s Hole In the Wall. When die nineteenth century was ns yet only half grown, senators applied customarily for their toddies at tho so called Hole in the Wall, a small circtt lnr room just off tho postoliioe of the upper house. The latter body then occupied what Is now the clmmlicr of the supreme court, and the postoliioe was across tlie main corridor of the building on the same floor. When a wearer of the toga found himself in need' of n "snifter” lie had only to cross over to tho malls department and pass through It to tho litt’e cir cular room aforesaid, which was uliout tho size of a pantry. The Hole in the Wall was the flrst senate restaurant, and the bill of fare for edibles was short, though to t lie point. There was ham, guaranteed to have boon smoked for six months, a voriluldoSublimation of tlie pork product; there were corned beef and bread and cheese, but very little else. They served, however, as an accompaniment for the fluids, and when tho Hole was crowded, ns was often the case, senators ate their snnd- w’iches outside, in the postoffleo.— Washington Tost. SHETLAND PONIES. Active as Terriers, Sure Footed as Mules, Patient as Donkeys. Shetlnnds are "foaled in the fields, live in the fields nnd die In the fields.” tThey have n rooted dislike for indoor life and thrive best when allowed to feed naturally on green grass, with perhaps liny In winter. Until two yenrs old nature provides a soft, wool like covering. Afterward the mature coat of hair appears, to he shed each spring, when the ponies appear sleek nnd handsome. Full grown, they are Immensely strong, with wide quarters, powerful legs nnd a great width and depth over the heart nnd lungs. And, as Bengie wrote in 1870 In his “Tour In Shetland:” “The Shetland pony is the most lovable of animals in the wide creation. They are sprightly nnd active as terriers, sure fooled ns mules and patient as donkeys. The horse is accredited as the noblest of the lower animals, and the Shetland pony stands at the head of this noble race ns the most intelli gent and faithful of them all.” The great value of the Shetland to the coal miners lies in Its ability to work in the low galleries in thin seamed pits, where other ponies could not travel. Their strength does not correspond with their diminutive pro portions, nnd they will travel thirty miles a day in the seams, drawing from twelve to fourteen hundred weight. Underground their lot is hard, but use becomes second nature, nnd they are treated, if roughly, not unkindly.—St. James’ Gazette. —— DRUM Act JUNE J0)»4 - Tiiis is an exact representation of the cart- n containing a buttle of St. Jo- l sepk’s Liquid Liver Regulator, but it is much larger than this illustration, and , printed in black ink on a yellow carton.

If a Chinaman wishes for happiness nnd peace in this world and the next he feels obliged to consult his majesty the dragon as to where his house shall he built and his grave be made Through the earth, so say the Chinese flow two currents — the dragon and the tiger. Now, for a man to have good fortune in life or, ns he would say in "pigeon English,” to "catchee chance,” his house must he put in a certain position in reference to these currents. If he is to rest quietly in his grave, that also must he correctly placej}. So called “wise men” make a business of choosing favorable sites for homes and graves, professing by means of a wand and incantations and other kinds of tomfoolery to be able to detect the presence of the dragon nnd the tiger and to tell in what dl rection they flow. Skating. Skating is believed to have been in vented in northern Europe In prehls toric times. William Fitz-Stephen speaks of it in London toward the end of the twelfth century, but it did Dot really catch hold until the cava licrs who had been in exile with Charles II. brought It with them from Holland. On Dec. 1, 1002, Mr. I’epys having occasion to cross tho park ‘•first in my life, it being a greut frost did see people sliding with their skates, which is a very pretty art.” On the 8th lie went purposely to see the sight nnd agnln found it "very pretty.”—London Chronicle. Works Both Ways. “So you think It is an advantage to a man to go to congress for awhile?” “Yes.” answered Senator Sorghum “It gives the people in his own town a chance to think he is a great man in Washington nnd the people in Wash Ington a chance to think lie is a grea man in his own town.”—Washington Star. The Aurora Borealis. The aurora borealis, or northern light, is something that wo have all heard about, but very few, perhaps, can give any explanation of it. No one definitely knows whnt causes it, but the scientists are pretty well ngreed that it is due to electricity. They believe that the light is made by the recomposition of the positive nnd negative electricity always in the up per nnd lower strata of air, respec tively. M. Lenstrom made an inter esting experiment in Finland in 1882, his object being to determine the na ture of the aurora. He had the penk of n mountain surrounded by n cop- ]K>r wire, pointed nt Intervals with tin nibs. When he had charged the wire with electricity a yellow light appenred on the tin tips, and an ex amination of the light by the spec troscope revealed the greenish yellow ray that is a marked feature of the nurorn. Tills evidence among sci entists is nlmost convincing, for it is by moans of the spectroscope tlint we discover the constituent parts of the sun and the stars.—Exchange. “Thou Diest on Point of Fox." Fox blades were celebrated nil through the sixteenth nnd seventeenth centuries for their excellent temper, nnd mention of them is frequent in English drama. This is yjelr history: There was a certain Julian del Ilel, believed to be a Morisco, who set up a forge nt Toledo in tlie early part of the sixteenth century nnd became fa mous for the excellence of his sword blades, which were regarded ns the best of Toledo. That city laid for many ages previous been renowned for swordmnking, it being supposed that the Moors introduced the art, ns they did so many good things, from the east. Julian del Rel's mark was a little dog, which came to be taken for a fox nnd so the “fox blade” or simply “fox for any good sword. See “Henry V.,’ net 4, scene 4, “Thou diest on point of fox." The brand came to be imitated in other places, and there are Solingen blades of comparatively modern manu facture which still bear the little dog of Julian del Rei.—London Notes nnd Queries. A Royal Snake Slaughterer. The “secretary bird" is one of the most precious birds in South Africa. It is royal game, and uny person de stroying one is liable to a fine of £50. Mnjestic looking birds, they stand nbout three feet high and generally go In pairs. They are of drab color, with black, feathery legs, and are valued for their propensity for killing snukes. Where the secretary bird Is seen there are sure to be many reptiles ubout. The bird beats down its adversary flrst with one wing nnd then with the other, at tho same time trampling on it with its feet until the snnke Is sufli- ciently stunned to catch it by the head with Its claws. Then the bird rises far up in the nir and drops its victim to the ground, to be killed. By this means thousands of venomous reptiles are destroyed.—London Scraps. Natural History. “Whah is you been workin’?” asked Miss Miami Brown. “Up to one o’ deshere garrldges whar dey keep de automobiles.’’ “I s'pose you likes ’em better dun mules.” “Well, de diff’unee is dat a mule kicks wlf his hin’ feet an’ de automo bile is mo’ li’ble to butt same as a goat.”—Washington Star. Busy Woman. Every monthly magazine carries as many ns two continued stories in it. When a man takes six It means that his wife is carrying twelve continued stories in her head In addition to doing the cooking and trying to find out liow much the new hat cost worn by the woman next door. — Oil City Derrick. Her Motto. “I think it is high time,” said Mrs. Oldcastle, “for the people of this coun try to take a firm stand against vivi section.” “So do I,” replied her hostess. "No north, no south, is my motto.”—Chi cago Record-Herald. If you owe for this paper settle up The Barrier. First Tramp—You won't get nothing decent there; them people is vegetn- rlans.

He— Give me his name and address. She— Do you want to kill him? He—No, i want to sell him the ring.— Pick-Me-Up. Milk Toast and Cheese. Make some rich milk toast and spread out on n flat dish. Cover with a thick layer of grated cheese and put In tho oven tin the cheese melts and browns. —Harper's Bazar. A Sponger. “The worse of Spongely is he never pays anything,” said Grubbles. “Oh, doesn’t he, though? Ask him to pay you a visit and see,” retorted Hicks. What the Peruvians Believed. A unique idea of tho future state was that of the ancient Peruvians. As the disembodied soul winged its way to eternity it encountered two rocks, upon one of which it must needs rest. Tho choice was deter mined by the morality of the life in the flesh. If it rested upon the left hand rook It was Instantly translated to "Po,” or oblivion, a state analogous to the Nirvana of tho orient. If througli early misdeeds, however, the unhappy spirit was guided to the right hand rock it entered into a purga torial hell where fiends grated away the flesh from all the bones in suc cession, after which the skeleton was reclothed and sent back to earth for another try. There was no haste about tills grating process. It took something over 10,000 years. Australia's First Theater. The first recorded production of n play in Australia took place in June of tho year 1780. It was called “The RocTuiting Officer.” The proceeds of the flrst pay night (some £20) went to the family of a limn who had been drowned. In January, 1700, a rough and ready playhouse was opened, and the public had to pny a shilling n bend for admission. The payments were made in kind, wheat, flour or rum taking the place of tho usual cur rency.—London Standard. Disappearing Home Life. The flat dweller ought not to keep a dog, prefers not to keep a cat, cannot have a garden, has no chance of keep ing house, has no possible place for memories and, most emphatic of nil, has no use or accommodation for linbles. Although it may be possible to make homes without kittens or babies or flowers or memories or cupboards, the spirit of home is hard to woo nnd win without any of them.— Fortnightly Review. Go Right at It. "Of course you know that germs communicate sickness?” “Y'es,” answered the man who is ap prehensive nbout his lienlili, “nnd the worst of it is that they get right down to business in their communications, instead of employing the scientific cir cumlocution of the medical profes sion.”—Exchange.
