Marengo was the greatest battle gained by Bonaparte, and Melas opened to him the way to Italy. Mor- tier was one of his first generals, Mo- reau betrayed him, and Murat was the first martyr to his cause. Maria Louise partook of his highest destinies, Mos­ cow was the abyss in which he was en­ gulfed, Metternich conquered liiin on the field of diplomacy. Sis marshals-- Masseua, Mortier, Marmount, MacDon- ald, Murat and Moncey--and twenty- six of his generals of divisions had names beginning with the letter M. M. Murat, duke of Bassino, was the counselor in whom he placed the great­ est confidence. His first great battle was that of Mpntenotte; his last was that of Mount St. Jean. He gained the battles Of 'Moscow, Montmirail and Montereau. Then came the assault of Montmartre. Milan was the first ene­ mies' capital and Moscow the last in which he entered. He lost Egypt through the blunders of Menoa and employed Miollis to make Pius VlII. prisoner. Malet conspired against him; afterward Marmont. Hi1* ministers were Maret, Montalivet and Mollien. His first chamberlain was Montesquieu, his last sojourn Malmaison. He gave himself up to Captain Maitland. He had for his companion at St. Helena Montholon and for valet Marcliand. A Crimean incident. Many are the deeds of heroism re­ corded in Sir Evelyn Wood's story of his rise "From Midshipman to Field Marshal," but none more thrilling than an incident of the fighting in the Cri­ mea. "Look out! 'Whistling Dickf " was the warning that was shouted one day, and at the call, which referred to a certain huge mortar which had been shelling them, every one In hearing rushed for shelter. All succeeded in gaining the trenches except young Blewitt of H. M. S. Queen. Him the spent shell caught under the knees and pinned to the ground. '"Stephen, Stephen,." he called to Ste­ phen Welch, "do not leave me to die!" The fuse of the thirteen inch shell was hissing, but Welch did not hesi­ tate a second. "Come on, lads! Let's try!" he shout­ ed and, leaping from the trench, began tugging with all his strength at the big mass of iron. At that instant it burst, and of neither man was a fragment seen again. 8treet Cars In Brazil. "There are first and second class street cars," writes a tourist, describ­ ing his South American travels, "and I, with a package in my arms, had tak­ en a first class bond, as a street car is called in Rio de Janeiro. Scarcely had I done so when the conductor request­ ed me to transfer to a second class car whenever it might come along, be­ cause no one is allowed to carry any­ thing greater than a lap satchel first class. So I humbly descended and had either to mix with market^ women and sweaty laborers or to take'a tilbury. A person without a necktie is no more allowed first class on the street cars than was I with my parcel. They are decidedly particular in Brazil and in­ herit many fastidious ways from the time of the empire, when dress and manners were the mark separating the aristocracy from the working classes." Forgiveness. Nothing is more moving to man than the spectacle of reconciliation. Our weaknesses are thus indemnified and are not too costly, being the price we pay for the hour of forgiveness, and the archangel, who has never felt an­ ger, has reason to envy the man who subdues it. When thou forgivest, the man who has pierced thy heart stands to thee in the relation of the sea worm that perforates the shell of the mussel, which straightway closes the wound with a pearl.--Jean Paul Richter. The Plslnd--lor "* Ears of Animals. The ears of tigers, foxes, wolves, cats and other beasts of prey bend for­ ward, while the ears of animals of flight, such as hares, rabbits, deer, etc., bend backward. This is because the ears of beasts of prey are designed for the purpose of collecting sounds in the direction taken by the animal in pur­ suit of its prey. The ears of an ani­ mal of flight, by turning backward, en­ able it to hear the sounds made by a pursMr. Fire Apparatus. Jamie Soutar loved to poke the flre and invariably ended by putting it out, greatly to his wife's disgust.

"I am nineteen years old and go to parties a good deal. 1 want to make myself pleasant and agreeable, but am a poor conversationist. Could you suggest some topics of conversation that would take well in mixed com­ pany? MABEL, Yes, Mabel. As soon as you enter the parlor shake your head and exclaim In a loud tone: • "Oh, dear! I washed my hair yester- day and can't do a thing with it!" ' That makes a hit right away puts every one at ease. This expres­ sion can be used whenever conversa­ tion lags. Music is a great help. Ex­ press yourself this way: "Well, I don't know anything about music, but i do know what pleases me. ; This will give the idea that you are a musician. To discuss art all yon have to do is look at the pictures on the wall and when you see one you like exclaim*. "Isn't that a beaut?" This will divulge your artistic sense. At the supper table reach for the olive dish and say: "There was a time when I couldn't eat olives, but I can eat a whole bot­ tle of them now." Then take five in one grab, and peo­ ple will like you for saying what you mean. With these few hints you'll find conversation comparatively easy. --Detroit Free Press. Stubborn . Sugar In Coffe*. The average amount of sugar used in coffee is a study which has become so much of a fascination to a young man who frequents restaurants pretty constantly that he has taken to going to different places for each meal iu order to enlarge the sphere of his ob­ servations among different classes of people, says the Philadelphia Record. "Poor people, as a rule," he says, "use more sugar than rich people, and it's also a pretty constant rule that men drink sweeter coffee than women and that old men have the sweetest tooth of all when It comes to coffee. It is noticeable, too, that drinkers of after dinner coffee make it very much sweet­ er than that which they take in the morning. I know a middle aged man who takes just two lumps to a cup in the morning, which is below the aver­ age, bUt Into the little cup he takes after dinner he puts six full sized lumps. This makes a sort of sirup of the drink, which, I suppose, takes the place of after dinner bonbons." Trained Too Well. In Baltimore the rule of the trans­ portation companies is that children over the age of five years must pay full fare, those under that age being carried free. One afternoon not long ago there were among the ^passengers on a Charles street car k woman and her son, the latter a big boy of apparently seveg years, but who was held in his mother's lap aB if he were a baby. Presently the lad grew restive. "Mommer, mommer," he murmured, "say, mommer!" The mother, with a premonition of Impending danger, tried to silence the youngster, but to no avail, for he con­ tinued to call upon bis "mommer." Finally the woman asked, "Well, what Is it, son?" "Mommer, when do I say I'm only five?" asked the irrepressible.--New York Times. •' Blind Pupils. An artist in Paris had much diffi­ culty in getting his pupils to make use of the extremely "impressionistic" ideas of art. One evening at a large dinner party he asked an elderly gen­ tleman next to him, who was very shortsighted, how the gentleman at the foot of the table appeared to him. "Well," replied the nearsighted one, "I see a very white spot, which I take to be his shirt front, and a flesh col­ ored spot, which I know to be his face." "Ah," exclaimed the artist enthusias­ tically, "how I wish my pupils could see things as you do!"--Searchlight Feeling Heat and CoM. The principal^Teasons that we feel objects that are cold when brought In contact with the skin quicker than those that are warm Is that the skin, being a very poor conductor of heat, absorbs heat slowly from an object of a higher temperature than itself, while other objects which are cooler &nd which in nearly every instance are better conductors of heat than the skin absorb heat readily from the skin, and hence a sensation of cold to felt at once. The Marsh Wren's Sagacity. Birds often have more sagacity than is generally accredited them. The long billed marsh wren, which builds a sub­ stantial nest of rush leaves, swinging in the tall rushes of a marsh, invaria­ bly makes several nests, but only uses one. This is undoubtedly for the pur­ pose of misleading its enemies. The nest used is always the best hidden, while those not ilsed--the decoy nests --may be easily found by those who seek them. and Golds CURED BY FOLEY'S HONEY AND TAR Obstinate, racking Coughs that make ybttr head ache, your throat and lungs sore and inflamed, that rob you of sleep until your system becomes so run down that you are in grave danger o£ Pneumonia or Consumption, are quickly cured by Foley's Honey and Tar.

I tried a great many remedies and I was under the care of physicians for several months. I used one bottle of Foley's Honey and Tar; it cured me, and I have not been trou­ bled since." <- Three siaes--25c, 50c, tfLQO.
