Tne daily life of Thiers was very pe- culiar. He rose always at very early hour, about 5 o'clock in tife morning, seldom later. After a cup of coffee and a light repast he would work steadily for many hours. Then he usually took a walk or would perhaps play a game of tennis before breakfast, which meal was served at the usual French hour. Then he would speak to his friends and Zo out for a drive, sometimes pay visits and return A ie after 4, when he went regulaby to bed*and slept till it was time to get ready for dinner. For some extraordinary reason his dinner hour was 7:50, and he was very punc- tual. After dinner he always slept for twenty minutes or half an hour and then would remain up chatting and talking to a late hour. His brightest moment was always subsequent to his after dinner sleep. No one could be more agreeable in conversation, more easy or natural or more ready to fm- He was a true Provencal in all his tastes and habits. He loved the bright sun of his native Provence. He thor oughly appreciated the peculiar charm of the coast near Marseilles, the beau- ty of the gray olive groves and the smile of the Mediterranean. Ile pre- ferred the dishes bf Provence to ajmost any others. He used to mix oll liberal- ly with his food, and I remember at a dinner at the Duchesse Galliera's a fair sized bottle of oil was specially placed next his plate and he consumed it all. - » the FP 5 'An amusing joke was practiced upon the examiners at Cambridge, says a London paper. It had been said that the examination in mathematics had béen becoming far too difficult, and very teal complaints had arisen from tutors.

The editor of work to master the problems which the university dons had been concocting for months past. The task had to be actomplished within twenty-four hours, and the printers were up all night set- ting the solutions in type. Naturally the Granta sold by the thousand that week. How He Get It. A good story is told about a former member of the Missourl legislature. Before his electionf he was chronically "broke." When he returned from Jef- ferson City, he exhibited $300 in good, crisp greenbacks. Seme of his friends "jollied" him about his prosperity. "You didn't have a cent when you went to the legisiature, did you, Jones?" said one of them. "Not a blamed cent," sald Jones. "As a matter of fact I lent you half your railroad fare, didn't 17" "I believe you did." "Well, you were down In Jefferson City about forty days. You got §5 a day. Now, what the gang wants to know is how you managed to save $500 out of a total income of $200." "Come closer," whispered Jones, "and I'll tell you how I did it. I bad my washing done at home." a. Remarkable Luck. In Gold Hill, -Nev., in 1877, one of the mining bosses--Tole by name--had trouble with some of the laborers in his mine. One night three of them at- tacked him in a barroom. Two of them pinned him down, while a third stood over him with a revolver. The muzzle almost touched his stomach. Once, twice, thrice, a fourth and a fifth time the weapon snapped. Tole closed his eyes. Each moment he expected to be his last. The disgusted ruffian threw his disappointing weapon on the floor. with an oath, and, joined by his aids, left the place. Tole wiped the cold sweat from his brow, mechanically picked up the discarded weapon, went to the door and fired off every charge, remarking that it was just his luck.

They are dredged along the coast and transferred to oyster beds in creeks close to shore, where they fat- ten.

In "Horses Nine" the author describes an Instauce in this way: And an unhandsome colt he was. His broomstick legs seemed twice the proper length, and so thin you would hardly have believed they could ever earry him. His head, which somehow suggested the lines of a bootjack, was set awkwardly on a ewed neck. In time the slender legs thickened, the chest deepened, the barrel filled out, the head became- less ungainly. As If to make up for these Improve. ments, the colt's markings began to set. They took the shapes of a saddle stripe, three white stockings and an irregular white blaze covering one side of his face and patching an eye. Om chest and belly the mother sorrel came out rather sharply, but on the rest of him was that peculiar blending which gives the blue roan shade, a color unpleasing to the critical eye and one that lowers the market value. The Death of Kenith. The death of Kenith, the balf myth. teal king of. Scotland, was one of the most remarkable in all-hiatory--that is, if it can consistently be called a his torical fact. According to the story, Kenith had killed. a son and brother of the warlike Fennella. She for revenge caused Wiltus, the most i: rnlous art ist of the time, to fashion an automatic death deallug machine, a wonderful statue filled with hidden springs, lev- ers, ete. When finished and set up, this "brazen image" was an admirable work of art. In its right hand if held a basin and in the left an apple of pure gold, both set with dinmonds and other pre- cious stones. To touch this apple was to dare death, it being so arranged that one guilty of such vandalism would be immediately riddled by poisoned ar: rows shot from loopholes in the body of the statue. Kenith was invited to come and inspect the wonder, and king- |LACK COURAGE] AND IT CAUSES A LOSS OF, ABILITY ------ Timidity And Talent Go Together ~Jumps Into the Conflict Nev- er Thinking of Consequences. A great deal of talent 1s lost to the world for the want of a little courage. Every day sends fo their graves a num- ber of obscure men who have only re- mained obscure because their timidity | has prevented them from making a first effort and who, if they could have béen induced to begin, would in all proba- bility have goue great lengths in the career of fame, The fact is that to do anything in this world worth doing we must not stand shivering on the brink and thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in and scramble through as well as we can. It will not do to be perpetually calculating risks and ad- justing nice chances. It did very well before the flood; when a man could consult his friends upon an intended scheme for a hundred and fifty years and then live to see its success for six or seven centuries afterward. But at present a man waits-and doubts and hesitates and consults his brother and his uncle and his first cousins and. par- ticular friends till one fine day he fuds that he is sixty-five years of age; that he has lost so much time in consulting first cousins and particular friends that he has no time left to follow their ad- vice.--Sydney Smith on "Courage In the Use of Talent."

"Of course I don't know that they are fa- tal, but I have every reason to think so. 1 had a woman patient whom I was treating for a number of complica- tions, including a weak heart.

He offered a | settlement for his relense, but It was refused. He endeavored In every way to break the engagement, but without Success. "Is there nothing I can do to escape this?" he exclaimed one day in despair. "Yes," remarked the girl's mother, who was present and who had been the prime mover in the marriage nego- tiation, "by marrying me." The curate decided, if he bad to mar- ty one of the two, he preferred the mother and accepted ber. The young girl soon married a wealthy stock: broker. Nighteaps. For external application the night. cep is rarely seen. It Is first mention- ed during the time of the Tudors. In the inventory of Henry VIIL's ward: robe we come across the following item: "A nightcape of black velyet em- broidered." No wonder, with such gearing, that, as Shakespeare suggests, "Uneasy rests the head that wears a crown." Poor old Bishop Latimer was not content with one nightcap. Fox in his "Book of Martyrs" describes him as follows: "He held his hat in his hand, having a bandkerchlef on his head and upon it a nightcap or two i and a great eap, such as townsmen use, with broad flaps to button under his chin" They evidently believed in keeping their beads warm in those days.--Health. "at i The Danger In Cocaine, The great danger of cocaine lies in the fact that it is the most agreeable and alluring of all narcotics. It causes no mental confusion; only a little more talkativeness than usual. There is no headache or nausea, and the pleas- aut effects are produced with a com- paratively small dose, but symptoms of poisoning are rapidly developed, and within three months of the commence- ment of the habit there may be mark- od indications of degeneration, loss of memory, hallucinations and suspicions. ~Londou Lancet. Soll and Forage Crops. Those states which are noted for the production" of forage crops not only have maintained the original fertility of the soll, but they spend for commer- cial fertilizers less than 1 per cent of the annual value of thelr crops. while those states which pay least attention to forage crups have impoverished the soil and spend annuglly for fertilizers from 5 to 9 per cent of the total value of their crops.

Blazsed Her Way. There is a story about Alaska and its people in which Is mentioned a man who chose a bride from among some of the Indian tribes up toward the Chil- coot pass, He took hér to a large city, Montreal, perhaps, and left her In a splendid hotel while he went out to sec some one about a dog. She missed him sadly. She sat at the window looking out on "the street four stories below, Solitude became intolerable. She de- cided to find her husband. There was an elevator, but she didn't care for it. Softly as moccasins could carry ber she issued forth. When she had gone out, a bellboy saw queer marks on the bal- usters and doorcasings. The Indian bride had blazed her way with a toma- hawk so that she could find her way back. The Indian bride was merely living up to her education, for it is very necessary to know how to blaze a trall in Alaska. Men Crotchety at Breakfast. "If walters had their way, men would not be permitted in a restaurant before the dinner- hour, or at least before lunch," said the proprietor of a cafe on upper Broadway. "Why? Simply because they are so cross at breakfast. No, it isn't the question of tips altogether, although I never saw a walter refuse a quarter. But the fact is men are crotchety be- fore they get their breakfast. If they have to wait five minutes, it seems an hour to them, and even the morning paper seems to lose its charms unless breakfast is on the table, There is no meal in the day where the waiters get so many 'kicks' as they do at break- fast, and the men are always more i tempered than the women." A Lincoln Stery, Abraham Lincoln had a rule for evading difficulties. At a cabinet meet- ing one day, it is related, Mr. Seward jokingly remarked, "Mr. President, I hear that you turned dut for a colored woman on a muddy crossing the other day." "I don't remember," answered Lincoln musingly,' "but I think it very likely. I have always made it a xule that if people won't turn out for me 1 will for them. If 1° didn't, there might be a collision." Not the Same. "Come along," sald M¥. Nupop, fresh from his interview with the janitor. "we'll have to look at flats elsewhere." "But why can't we take this?" de- mandéd Mrs. Nupop. "It's like heaven here, and"-- "Not much it isn't, and that's the trouble. They take children in heav- en." Cheering Her Up, Molly--1 was so cross ay the party last night! Kate Green had on a dress exactly like mine. gusted her to see you with a dress like hers!

Processes Entering - Into Their Manufacture. | Cow bells that chime on the western plains, sheep bells that tinkle on the 'big American sheep ranches, bells for 'grazing horses and mules and, accord- jing to Popular Mechanics, all kinds of bells for the farm and ranch are made fn one factory, which stands on a hill sido street in a little town in Connecti cut. | The metal for the bells 1s received at the factory in large, flat sheets of thin fron direct from the rolling mill and Is passed under a steam driven cutter, which turns out the properly shaped pleces like patterns for a double bladed ax, Then a ring for a clapper Is fas tened into the center of each piece, and it 1s spanned with a little iron strap for a handle. [Finally the plece is bent down into the familiar bell shape and its sides riveted together on the anvil. The beH is now in shape, but it still Incks tone and color. These are gained by a coating of brass and a bath in a fiery furnace. In nests of four or five the bells, ranging in size from the lit- tle three toch sheep bells to the seven inch cow bells, are placed, with a mix- ture of ebarcoal and brass filings be- tween them, in plumbago crucibles, the. lids of which are held in place byia. plastering of wet clay. These are then fmmersed in the fire. Within the cru. elbles the brass spreads itself in 8 thin coating over the {mprisoned bells, and the bell obtains its clear note. All that needs be done afterward is to burnish the bells, which is done by throwing them with a few leather scraps into a big revolving cylinder, in yvhich they polish themselves. ------ |y The Men In Line.

To relieve ingrowing toe nails cut a V shaped piece out of the center of the nail, as deep down to the quick as possible, and press in all around the toe nnd as much us possible under the ingrowing part some good yellow soap. In the course of a few days or so take the pointed end of a small penknife blade and scrape out all the soap and if possible insert the blade under the ingrowing part and with a dexterous twist turn the edge of the 'blade up. ward and pare off as much of the in. growing purt as possible. Then press In some more soap and a small piece of absorbent cotton between the nail and the overlapping flesh to keep the pall from pressing on the same. In the course of a few weeks the flesh un, der the ingrowing part will become so callous that no pain will be felt, and the nail can be trimmed regularly once a week. In the Olden Days of Crinolime.

Although the actual amount of nutri. tive material in a raw oyster is small, it comprises all classes of food sub- stances in a peculiarly -assimilable form. Generally speaking, the raw mollusk consists of four-fifths water, The danger--a remote one--of the oys- ter containing living typhold fever germs may be obviated by the use of lemon juice. The oyster is rendered tough and indigestible by boiling. Altogether Too Inguisitive. Burgess--What a humbug Dolver is!
