Evans went to Annapolis he wasn’t long in showing his mettle. The story of his first assertion of his personality runs after this fashion: When he left for the Naval academy notwithstanding the fact that the rules of the academy forbade the placing of decorations in the rooms. An inspec- tor remonstrated with him. and ordered him to remove‘the prayer. Evans swore that he would smash the face of the first man who touched it. The in- spector referred the act of insubordi- nation to the commandant. who took it up with the secretary of the navy. Evans wrote home about the episode. It got into the papers. An indignation meeting was held in his home town and a protest made to the president. In the end a special dispensation was granted. allowing the cadet to keep his “decoration.” Being- a Virginian, young Evans was urged by his mother to throw in his lot with the south when the civil war came. This he declined to do. so it fell out that he and his brother fought on opposite sides during the civil war. On one occasion Robley Evans entered a restaurant in Washington and ob- served his brother eating. “An exchange of glances between us was quite enough." said Evans after- ward. "Not a word was spoken by either of us. He paid his bill and has- tily left the place. knowing very well that I would report his presence in the city. I ordered more oysters than I wanted and took plenty of time to eat them. He had come'a'cross the Force mac in a skiff. I was sure. and had tied it to an old sycamore tree near the spot where we used to swim. I want‘ ed to give him a brotherly chance to get back to Virginia soil. He gained his boat and escaped. though a soldier fired at him in the darkness. Oh leav- ing the restaurant I met an officer of the provost guard and informed him fired at him in tl1 e darkness.

But he went further. He demonstrated in the dust of the road why that exact date was chosen. Not only was it cabalistic, a multiple of nine. etc.. but it was the only date available to Moth- er Shipton which in Arabic numerals was the same backward, forward and upside down. Eleven hundred- and eleven was past. and not till 1881 would the coincidence recur. The next Moth- er Shipton will select 8008, which is not tomorrow or next day.-â€"London Saturday Review.

Such fierce carnivorous fishes as exist in the depths of the ocean are un- known at the surface. There is a “black swallower" which devours other tinny creatures ten times as big as it- self. literally climbing over its victim, first with one jaw and then with the other. Another species is nearly all mouth. and. having no power of loco- motion, it lies buried in the soft ooze at the bottom, its head alone protrud- ing, ready to engulf any prey that may wandeginto its cavernous jaws. There is a ferocious kind of shark resembling, a huge eel. All of these monsters are black as ink. Some of them are per- fé‘tly blind, while others have enor- mous. goggling eyes. No ray of sun- light ever pierces the dark. unfathom- ed caves in which they dwell. Each species is gobbled by the species next bigger. for there is no vegetable life to feed-on.-â€"Spare Moments.

Every two or three weeks I approach my house from the unusual side and make a note of the effect of porch, win- dows and the curtains. Then I try to go into the house as a stranger. Pie- tures which have become so familiar that they were a part of the wall I see the need of changing. and so I_ see things all through the house. I think more than anything else I find the rooms overcrowded and fussy and something can he banished. Of course I can’t always do these things at the time. but I make a note of them. This has worked so well with my house that I am trying it ,for myself. When dress- ed for the street or house I step to the glass and say; “Let me present you to Mrs. â€"â€",” and try to look at myself as a stranger. and I see many things to improve.

THE DURHAM ChRONICLE. Beethoven’s Passion When Napoleon! - Became peror. Even when political capital was not to be made of it. the favor of kings and courtiers was. prior .to the middle of the nineteenth century. sought by the artists in various fields of activity, who were generally dependent for their position upon those high in po- litical life, and even the most uncom- promising among them found it expe- dient to play polite politics in the in- terest of their art by dedicating the choicest or their works to noble pa- trons. The.mos_t notable example of a mas- terwork with a political origin is Beethoven’s "Erolca" symphony. Gen- eral Bernadotte during his residence in Vienna in 1798 as ambassador from the French nation suggested to Bee- thoven the composition or a symphony in honor of Napoleon. At that time Napoleon was looked upon as the champion of freedom, the savior at his country, the embodiment of re- publican ideals, with which Beethoven was in thorough, sympathy, and he willingly accepted the proposal. Be- fore the symphony was published Na- poleon became emperor. and when the news reached Vienna Beethoven was violently angered. "After all, then, he is nothing but an ordinary mortal! He will trample all the rights or men under foot to indulge his ambition and become a greater tyrant than any 0116! With these words he seized the mu- | sic, tore the title page in half and. threw it on the ground. He never; agaln referred to the connection be-' tween his work and Napoleon until news of the latter’s death reached him. Then he said, “I have already composed the proper music for that catastrophe,” meaning. of course, the funeral march. But the whole sym- phony, with its essentially revolution- ary character. is a musical portrait of Napoleon as Beethoven idealized him. â€"Bookman. ._ ___.__.-...~.-~-__..__- Vigorous Growth Results. A dozen large nails. planted among the roots of a tree assure the tree of health. because the vegetable saps cause the oxidation of the iron and the sap carries ferruginous salts through all the living cells and circu- lation vessels. Not many years ago one of the sights of a certain French cemetery was a tree. half green. half rust colored. lux- uriantly leaved upon both sides and in flourishing condition. When the tree died and preparations were made for an examination of its roots it was :11. most impossible to exhume it. When all the ground around it was loosened and the roots were exposed it was found that the tree when a sappling had clasped its young; roots around the haste of an iron bnlustrade encircling a tomb. The roots of the tree had run in and out between the iron bars of the fence. Exactly half of the tree had come in contact with the iron, and that half put forth a growth luxuriant- ly leaved in rusty brown. The half that had not touched the iron devel- oped a growth of normal coloring.
