. iiignest 01 au m leavening AnSOMJUVEVX PURE NAPOLEON'S ORIENTAL DREAMS. He Longed to Follow In the Footsteps of Alexander the Great. Bonaparte was a child of the Mediter ranean. The light of its sparkling wa ters -was ever in his eyes, and the fasci nation of its ancient civilizations was never absent from his dreams of glory. His proclamations ring with classic al lusions; his festivals were adorned with classic ceremony. In infancy he had known of Genoa, the tyrant of his is land, ns strong in the splendid commer cial enterprises which stretched east ward through the Levant and beyond into the farther orient In childhood he had fed his imagination on the histories of Alexander the Great and his conquest of oriental empires. In youth he had thought to find an open door for his am bition when all others seemed closed by taking service with England to share the renown of those who were building up her eastern empire. Disappointed in this, he turned with the same lack of success to Russia, already England's ri val on the continent of Asia. It is perfectly comprehensible that throughout his early manhood his mind should have occasionally reverted to the same ideals. The conqueror of Italy and Austria might hope to realize them. Was he not master of the two great maritime commonwealths which had once shared all eastern trade between them? England's intrusion upon the Mediterranean basin was a never ceasing irritation to all the Latin powers. Her commercial prosperity and her mastery of the seas aggravated the exasperation of France as threatening even her equali ty in their ancient rivalry. From the days of the first crusade all Frenchmen had felt that leadership in the recon struction of Asia belonged to them by virtue of preoccupation. Ardent repub licans, moreover, saw France's mission incomplete in the liberalizing of the continent, and the department of marine under the directory stamped its paper with the motto, "Liberty of the Seas. " Imaginative forces, the revolution ary system and the national ambition all combined to create ubiquitous en thusiasm for the conquest of the Med iterranean. To this the temperament and training of Bonaparte were as the spark to the tinder. It was with willing ears that the directory heard his first suggestions about the Venetian isles and subsequently his plans for the capture of Malta, which was to be followed by a death blow to England's supremacy in the seizure of Egypt and the dismem berment of Turkey. W. M. Sloane's "Life of Napoleon" in Century. A SPIDER FARM. A Sirup Bottler Has Recruited the Spider Against His Foes With Success. A siren bottler has imbroved uron the prison lesson of Bruce. He has taken the spider into partnership in the work ing of one of his most important depart ments. Flies, cockroaches and other in sects, attracted by his sweets, and en couraged by the genial atmosphere of his bottling room, used to interfere with his work, get into his bottles, steal his goods and "worry him to death." He has recruited the spider against his foes and vanquished them. Some 6,000 spi ders now make their home on the ceiling and walls of his bottling department Their webs are everywhere, and they be have themselves with great intelligence. Said the bottler to an interviewer: "These creatures know more than a great many people. Spiders do not care for sweet things, and never drop into my vats or get into my bottles. I never disturb them except to feed them occa sionally. They appear to know my call, and will come out and feed from my hand, or take a fly from my finger. - "They shut themselves up during . most of the winter months in the little nests yon see stuck like daubs of mud about the ceiling. . When winter comes, I brush away the webs. They prefer to weave new ones every spring. "Each May they reappear ready to unravel the silken fabric that is stored . in their little bodies. It is just about then that the flies have hatched their first young. If the spiders appear earlier, the crop of flies would soon give out "I have been only running this spider farm far two years, but I find my little partners indispensable. They will not endure in the place a single fly or insect that is a plunderer of sweets and sir ups. " Pittsburg Dispatch. A Tattooed Snake. The sailors of the gulf of Mexico and the equatorial regions of the Atlantic ocean amuse themselves and also turn an occasional honest penny by capturing both large and small snakes of the va riety known as the lemon boa and cov ering their bodies with tattooed letters and designs. One of these living manu scripts was recently exhibited at Egyp tian hall, London, which had the whole of the third chapter of Genesis and some pieces from Punch tattooed upon his back in indelible letters of various col ors. Thousands of these tattooed snakes are annually disposed of at Bio de Ja neiro. The buyers generally kill these snakes and either skin them or preserve the entire reptile in alcohol. Such speci mens are highly prized by both Euro pean and North American collectors of curiosities. St Louis Republic. Heathen and Heathen.

Stands Today Unscathed by Disease- How He Conquered Rheumatism A Story Fnll of Interest. From the Examiner, San Francisco, Cal. There is at least one happy man in San Francisco today one man who can enjoy, despite the fact of his being sixty years of age and of oorpnlent build, the full and free use of all the powers of mind and body. James Keenan is a prominent liquor dealer at 256 Brannan street, and it is he who is now lauding those who have restored him from a bed of pain to his former youthful activity. Mr. Keenan had, to within a year ago. beep blessed with the enjoyment of alomst perfect health It was a year "ago that Mr. Keenan first suffered the hand of disease to take hold upon him. At that time he was stricken down by an aggravated attack of rheumatism, which robbed him of the use of his lower limbs and of both his hands. For fully six weeks he lay on his couch, a helpless victim of the dread disease, and all the time he suffered intense pain in the affected portions of his body. He could not move himself upon his bed, and all that he ate had to be fed to him by those in attendance. He had about despaired of ever gaining release from the clutches of the frightful disease, when one morning his attention . was drawn to an advertisement in a morn' ing paper, of a remedy for rheuma tism. . The story of what succeeded this casual glance at a medicine adver tisement can best be told in the .words of Mr. Keenan himself, who, when asked for an explanation of his seem ingly miraculous cure, gave the fol lowing account: "It seemed to me that after all the weeks' of terrible suffering that I had endured that there could not possibly be a relief. - I had no faith in patent medicines, and when I saw in a paper the advertisement of Williams' Pink Pills I was induced to try them only in sheer desperation, I did not feel any relief until I began taking the sec ond box of the pill, but then the pain began gradually to leave me, my appe tite became better, and I could sleep soundly throughout the night without experiencing any of the jerking pains that had before kept me awffce. I con tinued to take the pills and it was only a short time until the rheumatism had entirely left my hands, and I had so far recovered the use of my legs as to be able to walk about the house with out assistance. In about two weeks more I was entirely free from the dis ease, but I took two more boxes of the pills as a precaution against a return of the rheumatism. From the time that the last trace of the disease left me I had not felt the least sign of its return, and I can truthfully say that I now enjoy the free use of my limbs as ever I did before the rheumatism at tacked me. . - "I have taken the pains to recom mend Williams' Pink Pills to a num ber of my friends who - are Buffering from rheumatism. I think I know of no other remedy that will afford such quick and permanent relief from rheu matism as do Williams' Pink Pills, and I only hope that many others may be brought to see and feci the high cura tive powers that the pills possess." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in a condensed form, - all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, irregularities and all forms of weakness. They build up the blood and restore the glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks. In men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork or ex cesses of whatever nature. Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never unloose bulk) at 60 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, and may be had of all druggists, or direct by mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y. New Treatment For Barns. -, A Paris medical man of resources and alternatives had in hand a case of severe and extensive burning, caused by boil ing water. So deep was the injury that the healing process was greatly delayed. The patient's family objected to skin grafting, which seemed to be the only way to accelerate the process of recov eiy, and the doctor, as an experiment, applied the internal membrane of the hen's egg the white film with which everybody is familiar. The injury must have progressed beyond the suppurative stage and shown signs of healthy heal ing. A freshly laid egg is broken and the membrane immediately cut into narrow strips and laid carefully across the raw surface, then antiseptic dress ings are applied with carbolic solutions, and the whole is covered by tin foil. In a number of cases this procedure has been eminently satisfactory. New York Ledger. The Quarter Came Back. "Excuse me, sir," said a Woodward avenue car conductor to a passenger rid ing on the platform with him the other morning, "but can you change a quar ter?" "Is it a plugged quarter?" cautiously asked the passenger. "Yes, sir; plugged in two places." "Get it about a week ago?" "Yes, sir." -V "From me?" . "Yes, sir." "No, I can't change it I carried that old coin around about three months and offered it to at least 60 conductors be fore yon took it, and having finally worked it off I can't take it back. If yon want to borrow two tens and a five, all right, but I can't take plugged quar terscan't possibly do it, even to oblige." Detroit Fiee Press. THE STORY OF A BEAR. The Troth Came Out In Spite of the 93S, Paid to Suppress It. "There used to be some good hunting up in Maine, aboflt Rangeley lake," said Mr. T. L. Page. "A house that I man aged in the little village of Phillips wag the headquarters of a lot of Nimrods, who came up every season after big game. Of all the ardent sportsmen, twe New Yorkers, chums and partners in business, Messrs. Buckley and Webb, were the keenest, lovers of the chase. They were very successful hunters, too, and generally carried off the palm both as to quality and quantity of game. - "One season, however, they met with very poor luck, and after spending about a week in camp, with nothing to show for their labors, started to come to town, with the intention of going home. On their way in they overtook a coun tryman driving a farm wagon, in the bed of which lay one of the handsomest specimens of black bear that the New Yorkers had ever laid eyes on. The rus tic stopped his team to let the city stran gers admire his big take. Suddenly a brilliant idea occurred to Buckley. 'What would you be willing to sell your bear for?' said he to the farmer. " 'Well, the state gives a bounty of $10 for every bear, and I reckon if you'll give me $10 more yon can have him. ' ''Buckley gave the old man his price, with $5 additional, first exacting from him a solemn promise that he would never breathe a syllable of the transac tion to any one. Then he and Webb rode ahead, and on reaching the hotel told in most enthnsiistio style how they had killed the . biggest black bear that had ever came out of the Maine woods. They entered into details of the shoot ing, and every guest of the house was on the qui vive for a look at bruin, that was coming on a little later. He was such a heavy beast that the mighty hunters were forced to hire an old farm' er to bring him in town in a wagon. Pretty soon the wagon hove in sight and a big crowd gathered at the hotel en' trance to see him unloaded. Exclama tions of delight were beard on every side, and Buckley and Webb were the heroes of the hour. "Down in the little village of Phil lips Old Sol Mayberry, with a bigger wad of cash in his pocket than he had possessed for a long time, was getting very drunk On the proceeds of his sale, and after the third or fourth round of drinks he couldn't resist telling how, on that very morning, he had caught in a trap the finest bear he d ever beheld, and how he had sold him to two chaps from the city. The facts leaked out in less than an hour, and the conspirators were forced to own that Old Sol had spoken the truth. Their bill for cham pagne that day was in three figures." Washington Poet . Indoor Bicycle Rldins;. Nowadays every one wants to ride a bicycle, but many do not attempt it be cause they dread the ordeal of learning. In the first place they dislike the idea -of abrasions and bruises, and in the second they can hardly bring themselves to the sacrifice of dignity which the flounder - ings of the beginner usually entail. They need no longer hesitate. The bi cycle can now be learned indoors, safe from prying eyes and without fear of falls. A new appliance designed for this purpose consists of a small flywheel covered with rubber and two side wheels fitted with a simple arrangement by means of which it can be adjusted to any kind of cycle in two minutes. Its great advantage is that . the rider expe riences the same momentum as in a spin on a hard road, while the machine either remains stationary or moves so slowly that in traversing 15 feet the same amount of exercise is obtained as in a mile of ordinary traveling; Practice can thus be carried on in a hall or roor, and riders can gauge the rate of speed their exertions would have given them on the highway. For begin ners, children and invalids needing phys ical exercise this invention is specially adapted, as it stands perfectly steady and enables the difficulties of mounting and dismounting to be thoroughly over come without danger of falls or bruises. The appliance is collapsible, weighs 16 pounds and can be easily carried in the hand. Exchange. Wood Faring. A nonslipping wood pavement has been recently devised which is claimed to be simple, inexpensive and efficient It consists in preparing the wooden blocks before they are laid by boring a few boles in them and filling the same with a hard setting substance composed of crushed stone, bitumen and Portland cement The compound is cleared Off even with the surface, and when they are laid the roadway is thus covered with a series of rough spots which ar rest the foot of the horse in all condi tions of weather, and prevent the ani mal from slipping. Wood paving is ex tensively used in England and France. Northeastern Lumberman. Division of the Sexes.

HUMAN SUFFERING. ITine-tenths of It Is Useless and Could Be Avoided.'"" - Go through a crowd of people, pre ferably city people ; examine the tired, anxious, wasted faces ; remember your life and the lives of the men whom you have known intimately ; recall the vio lent deaths, the suicides of which you have heard, and ask yourself the reason oi au tms deatn, sneering and despair. And you will see, however strange it may appear, that the cause of nine-tenths of human suffering is the present life of the world; that this suffering is useless; that it could be avoided, and that the majority of men are martyrs to worldly -ideas. '- - - - : Recently on a rainy Sunday I crossed the market near the tower of Soukharev in a street car. For a third of a mile the car made its way through a dense crowd that closed in again behind us... From morning till evening these thousands of men, most of them hungry and in rags, jostle each other in the mud, dispute, deceive and hate each other. The same thing goes on in the markets of Moscow and other , citiea These men will pass their evenings in the wine shops and afterward will seek their holes and cor ners. Sunday is their best day. Monday they begin 'again, their accursed exist ence. ' : Think of the existence of these men, of the situation which they abandon and of that which they choose. Consider the labor to which they give themselves, and yon will see that they are martyrs. All have left their fields, their houses, their fathers and brothers, often their wives and children. They have renounc ed everything and come to the city in order to acquire that which the world considers necessary. All of them are there, from the operative, the coachman and the seamstress to the wealthy mer chant, the office holder and the wives of all of them, to say nothing of the tens of thousands of unfortunates who have lost everything and live on scraps and brandy in the free lodging houses. Go through this crowd ; watch poor and rich alike ; look for a man who says that he is satisfied and believes that he possesses what the world deems necessa ry. You will not find one in a thousand. Count Tolstoi. BOTH PAPERS WERE USEFUL. The Fortunate Result ef a Tennessee Jus tice Mixing His Documents. - Bill Wright was a justice of the peace, and also an absentminded man, whose wife was as kable an orator as Xantippe. Bill used to serve all his processes himself and to save time would sign the marriage certificates in blank and deliv er a number to the parson. One day Bill had a process to serve away up in the mountains on a senubar barous -recluse, who was sued for dam ages for some disdeeds, and Bill thought he would deliver a few of the certifi cates to the parson. So, sticking both packages of papers in the same pocket, he mounted his horse and rode off. . . Reaching the minister's, he stopped and chatted awhile, and, after deliver ing his papers, he started off again and took the road to the mountains. The parson had a wedding that day, one of the parties being a notorious horse thief from an adjoining county. When the ceremony was over, the parson se lected a certificate from the bundle and unrolled it sufficiently to sign his name.' On handing it to the man the latter opened it, and his eye grew wild as he read instead of a marriage certificate a warrant of arrest, signed by both the justice of the peace and by the parson. He feared some trap, so surrendered himself to custody. -, When the justice reached the moun tain side, he took out the paper to read it and immediately saw its nature, but, maintaining his self possession, he re cited the form, of summons, which he fortunately remembered. . ' He then returned and found the horse thief in jail and went and saw the par son, remarking, with his own matri monial felicity in mind, that both pa pers had unintentionally served the ends of justioe. University Courier. - Why He Wanted It Printed. Compositors are supposed to be able to decipher all kinds of handwriting, even that of editors and ministers.

"You must let me have proofs of this tomorrow, " he said. . I told him the time was too short He must give us a few days longer. "No," he said. "I must preach this sermon tomorrow. It is a special ser mon. I wrote it ten years ago, and now I can't make out a word of it" Youth's Companion. Altogether Too Honest.

Above and below him all are serious. Addison. - The Catawissa river, in Pennsylvania, was named from an Ti",i'ttn word that means "getting fat. " A Floral Detective of Loaf Ago. In early times the Dutch farmers of the np river farms of New York had an ingenious .way of recovering . pocket knives that might have been dropped or mislaid while plowing or gardening was going' on. Cutlery was not as cheap then and abundant as in .t)1se days; so the farmers took the thWity precaution of keeping two or three sunflower seeds in their knife handles. Then if the knives fell upon broken ground and could not be readily found, the owners would wait until the seeds sprouted, and an isolated sunflower stalk or blossom in field or patch would signalize the possibility of a missing article's being at its root True, the owner did not always realize the result of the scheme, because a pass ing boy who understood the token often "got there" before the planter.
