Was 8ut*ject««l to an Educational and Mil* llsry discipline of the Severest Kind Which Developed Him Early. Francis Joseph was only 18, relates Douahoe's Magazine, when he was proclaimed emperor, but the education of the children of the Hapsburgs, ever since the reign Qf Maria Teresa, haa been of a singularly austere and virile character, and calculated to ripen them into manhood long before other boys have abandoned the toys of child­ hood. As soon as they left the nursery the young .archduke and his brothers, Maximilian and Charles Louis, were subjected to an educational and mili­ tary discipline of the severest kind, obliged to learn not only French, Eng­ lish and the classics, but the principal idioms of the polyglot monarchy, com­ pelled to rise at daybreak, live on the simplest food and spend whatever por­ tion of their time not taken up with their studies in acquiring the mastery of tactics .ad strategy. When Francis Joseph attained the age of 16 he was already an accom­ plished linguist and fairly well ac. quainted with chemistry and natural history. Then he gave his attention exclusively to jurisprudence, philoso­ phy and diplomacy, under the direc­ tion of the .-famous jurist Pilgrams, Cardinal llafuscher and Metternich. The long list of his studies would ap­ pall the most diligent American stu­ dent. That the assimilation of so many scientific, linguistic and military subjects did not cost him his health was due to the prodigious memory, that royal attribute which, it is said, enables him to recognize the face of the humblest of his subjects, though only seen once, after the lapse of • years. ajo Food «r Drink For Forty-One Dajrm. A case of fasting that far surpasses that of Dr. Tanner was experienced by a sow belonging to H. P. Wood­ ward. of near Canraer. We are in­ formed by Mr.Woodward that on Aug. 10 the sow went under a straw-stack and there remained until Sept. 21, without a mouthful to eat or a drop to drink, lie also states that when she disappeared she weighed about 250 pounds, and that when she came out she had lost about 100 pounds of flesh, but had a good appetite, and is now regaining her flesh rapidly. Mr, Woodward's veracity can not be doubted; he says the hog neither ate nor drank anything for 42 days. He can not account for the strange acts of this "hermit-like" hog, aud would like to know If anybody ever heard of a similar circumstance.--Mumfordsville (Ky.) News. HI* Arithmetic Was Had. Answers tells of a young Irish re­ cruit in a provincial forcte who applied for six days' leave, for the purpose of visiting his friends; but his applica­ tion was returned, marked "Not granted." One of the inspectors told him to put in a more reasonable application, and the chief might grant it. So Mike set to work again, this time asking for 48 hours' leave, which was granted. However,^he stayed away six full days; and when he came back he was taken before the chief, who said: "Why did you not return at the ex­ piration of your leave? "So 1 did, sor." "How do you make that out?" "It was yerself that granted me 48 hours' leave. An', sure, we work eight hours a day; an' six eights are 48, any­ ways." He was letoff with a caution. Couldn't Believe It. "Do you know, Mr. Chumlelgh?" said Miss Sears enthusiastically, "that I have ridden a century?" "Oh. come, now, Miss Sears," re­ plied Mr. Chumlelgh, "you cawn't have done that, doncherknow," because bicycles haven't been invented that long--aw."--Answers. ' Are Very Polite. When a Chinaman gives a grand party, he sends three invitations to each guest--one two days before the event, another on the day Itself, and the third just before the hour has struck, to signify how impatient he is for his visitor's arrival. China's Taxes Small. The Chinese are perhaps the most lightly taxed people in the world. In China all the land belongs to the state, and a trifling sum per acre--nev­ er altered through long centuries--is paid as rent. This is the only tax In the country, and it amounts to about 2s 6d per head yearly. Gives Poor Girls a Chance. A club exists in Vienna the members of which are pieced to marry a poor girl. If. by any chance or design, a member marries a rich girl, he is lined $2.000,which sum is bestowed on some respectable but impecunious couple en­ gaged to be married. Chance For the Girls. A feature of the population statistics of Western Australia is the large pro­ portion of males to females. The dis- perity is maintained in the arrivals by sea. At present there are 45 females to every 100 males. Both Were Surprised. Old Lady (to butler, whom she has caught helping himself to some of her finest port)--I'm surprised, James! Butler (calmly)--So am I, ma'am; I thought you was gone out.--Boston Globes SEVEN TIMES EACH WEEK. Often tDs We Closely Approach the End. Yes, life is full of dangers--we all know that. But what very few of us know is that all of us, even the most active and healthy, pass once in every 24 hours over what a clever French doctor once called a "veritable bridge of death." This moment with the or­ dinary individual corned somewhere between 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning. Say you go to bed and to sleep at 11 o'clock. Minute after minute for four loife hours your physical self runs on unwatched by its usual guardian, the; brain. Your life, as you know, is kept in you by the slow consumption of food. During sleep you do not eat; your heart, too, beats more slowly, and your whole system resembles an uutended engine. Toward that fatal hour of 3 the machinery all but stops. What saves you? It is this. In the healthy body the coming of this mo­ ment produces a shock which causes you unconsciously to throw out your legs and arms and turn ^over or draw a deep breath. This starts up the heart again. Still, doctors know well that this mid-sleep hour is the most danger-/ ous of the whole 24, and when they lose most of their patients.--Answers. Postage Stamp Gave Him Away. "Some folks always stamp their let­ ters upside down for luck," said a post office inspector in a reminiscent mood, "and others put the stamp on the back, which makes the cancellation clerk forget his religion. I remember we caught a fellow once through the pe­ culiar way he stamped a letter. He was wanted fc c frlvoling with the laws of Uncle Sam, but had skipped out and couldn't be located. In look­ ing over some of his correspondence I had noticed that he always put on the stamp crosswise, so as to leave a •small triangle of the envelope at the upper right hand corner. Why he did it I don't know, but the stamp was always in that one particular spot, and gummed down with mathematical ac­ curacy. One day I was in a certain Georgia town, and while loafing near the cancellation table at the post office noticed several letters stamped as I have described. Just on chance I took a memoranda of the address and post­ mark, which was Chattanooga, and happening to be in that place on the following week I collared my man as he was inquiring for his mall. The let­ ters I noticed turned out to have been addressed to his wife. When I told him how I got my pointer he was as mad as biases, and I guess he stamps his letters straight now--if he Is out yet" Small Currency Needed. The manager of one of the large metropolitan papers writes: "We are losing money constantly on account of the immense quantity of stamps we have to take in payment of bills, and these must be sold at a discount. We hope for some solution of the question which will tend to do away with what Is now an unmitigated nuisance." A magazine publisher writes: "I have Just now been handed a bill for a con­ siderable amount of money required in payment for some punctured cards which we sent to correspondents in which to remit coin." A prominent manufacturer writes: "I am satisfied we- fail to sell three-fourths f>f those who would send us money if they could do so without the trouble of se­ curing postal notes." Seeking a remedy, the first and most prominent point presented is the need of some form of money which the av­ erage citizen is likely to have near at hand, and which can be instantly transferred from a negotiable piece into a piece of exchange, payable only to the payee, whose name may be written in ink by the sender. We have seen that the loss of business under the present method and the general, cause of complaint are because of the trouble in obtaining safe money. A Twenty-Two Pound Flower. The largest flower in the world, it is said, is the bolo, which grows on the Island of Mindanao, one of the Philippine group. It has five petals, measuring nearly a yard in width, and a single flower has been known to weigh twenty-two pounds. It grows on the highest pinnacle of the land, about 2,000 feet above the level of the seaT"" Great Imagination. Dr. Robert Bell, , during his recent explorations in Labrador to the south of Hudson bay, discovered a fish in the rivers there which actually builds a kind of nest, using pebbles for the purpose. It carries the stones in its mouth and makes a ring or basin of stones on the bottom. Home of the Sausage. , Nearly 8,000 dogs dwell in the Ger­ man city of Frankfurt Ten years ago there were only 3,761. The dog tax last year yielded $102,000. The pug is going out of style, the spitz is com­ ing in. The most valuable dogs in the city are two St Bernards rated at $500 each. Knew Him Too Well. MMy dear," said a repentant husband t* his wife, "if I have ever used any unfcfnd words to you,. I take them all back." "No, you won't I know you. You want to use them all over again," she replied.

WAS TIRED OF PROFESSIONALS f | • <Vjf * 1 The Undertaker's Harmless XJtda TrleS j For I/oslng a Bora." "The other day," said an undertaker to a Sun reporter, "I was warned against a woman professional funeral* gcer. Of course, I knew all about her. She is harmless. Having a sufficient income to support herself modestly without much work, she has plenty of time on her hands, and for a few ye&rv has made it a daily habit to attend fu­ nerals, of friend or stranger, in any part of the city. She dresses very well, quietly and modestly, and invariably pushes herself forward and gets into the carriage just back of the mourn­ ers. She coolly walks, unbidden and uninvited, to the carriage and takes m seat, much to the annoyance of the others who enter the carriage, who do not know her. "I was Instructed carefully that if thisJwoman presented herself, not to make any objection nor to allow any policeman or detective to lead her away. She had a habit of screaming very loudly If interfered with, much to the disgust of the people present. This family wanted no such disturbance. I had the drivers of the carriages In­ formed properly. When the hearse was leaving the house, and when the near relatives had left, the fourth car­ riage drove to the curb, and as soon as the carriage door was opened out from the- small crowd in front of the house smartly walked the young wom­ an. She got into the carriage and the door was promptly closed. The car­ riage departed and at the next corner the driver turned and trotted his team to the stable. The young woman got out peacefully, saw she had been foiled, and departed without a word. The family paid for the cah.--fife*,,,,- York Sun. ----- Says There's Moaey tn R. A man with the monomania for col­ lecting picture cards tries to Justify his position by saying that "there is • money in it" In proof of this he asks people to believe the following incredl- ^ ble story: Joseph Arminius, formerly of Cologne, but now of Jerusalem (he I says), has made a small pile through the kaiser's tour. He advertised in the German papers, offering in return for a remittance of two marks to send five picture cards, posted respectively at Venice, Constantinople, Jaffa, Jerusa­ lem and Cairo, on the day of the Em­ peror Wlllielm's visit The subscrip­ tions amounted to $900,000, out of which he pocketed $50,500. The writ­ ing of the postcards was done in a Jerusalem school, in the form of a die* tation lesson for the children. I sup­ pose the card from Cairo had Inscribe ed under its pretty pictures, "Place# the kaiser didn't visit!" I , , „ Tlnie Royalty Retires. * Leopold II. goes to bed late, as never works in the daytime, and has to go through his letters at night His ; bet is a heap of feather beds and fea her counterpanes, in which he bur­ ies himself, for he has a mortal dread of the cold, even in the summer nights. Humbert has a hard bed, coarse sheets and no pillows, and sleeps away sonor­ ously for eight hours at a stretch. The poor young Czar dreads the night and ; the darkness; his bedroom is always lighted with electric light scarcely subdued by gossamer white silk shades. He seldom goes to sleep with­ out having tnkan a dose of chloral, and I % has the greatest trouble in getting up, which he does as late as possible.--Bx» Russia Was After the Gold. ^ This Is an explanation, which we be- " \ lleve to be the true one, of the motive " ";>|§, which led Russia recently to threaten sMM to demand the cession of the province of Kuldja. Recent so-called scientific '"\<- expeditions in that portion of the Chi- ;• • nese Empire have revealed that begin- ning from the western end of the Ce- * *4 Jestial Mountains, trending southwest- I %; to the Altai Mountains, dividing Kash- t, ' garia from the Russian frontiers of '« '* Ferghana, the whole plateau or steppe Is filled with gold. . : .. ^4 M And Of Course He Remained.

More Care Necessary* Canned fruit should be emptied im­ mediately after opening. Often a moot dangerous acid is formed by the chem­ ical action of the air upon the solder of the cans. It is this acid, indeed, which is responsible for much of the& prejudice against canned food. Many of the reported accidents have been traced to this form of kitchen careless­ ness. What They Said.
