Ths following Anecdote i related of
the Mai qui da La Tour Matibor,, the
French Minister of Wat in 1820. He
lot t hit leg In consequence of a musket
hAll in the thigh. He bore the Amputa
tion with much indifference, And when
the operation itti over he conversed
jocosely with those Around.
During the operation, it m remarked
tbAt he hAd his ere fixed on his own ser
vant, who was in tears All the time At
the sufferings of hie beloved master,
Tbeonlr sound he (the Marquis) was
heard to make was a muttered "Damned
hypocrite I" now And then during his
sufferings, And the utterance seemed to
relieve him Terr much. Vv hen all was
over he perceived the servant still in
tears, on which he said to him :
"Tou infernal hypocrite, you are still
shedding your crocodile tears, but you
ran not deceive me, I know you, you
lasy vAgabond. You are secretly rejoic
ing because in future you will have only
one boot to clean, wherein formerly you
had two. But Til get a bio; brass ferule
on my wooden leg that will give you a
much trouble to polish ae the boot. "
Tfct Kaak f Gibraltar.
The rock is the most remarkable object
At Gibraltar. It is impossible to describe
the effect produced on the mind by the
light of those immense tunnels, crossing
Ach other in all directions, bifurcating
Again And Again, sometimes lit up, some
times wrapped in the deepest darkness,
forming an inextricable network of gal
leries And passages, A most oon fused
labyrinth, the way out of which could
be found by no one who did not possess
the cue of Ariadue,
The slopes by which we Asoended were
smooth And wide, better than some high
roads traversed All day long by passen
gers. Frequently we came upon enor
mous heaps of cannon balls stored in case
of need, or we found an embrasure in the
living rock through whioh a gun was
pointed as though ready to begin work
on the spot, surrounded by all the neces
sary Ammunition.
Sometimes the darkness was so dense
that I scarcely dared move my feet for
fear of falling over one or other of those
iron monsters, And on more than one oc
casion I was forced to strike a match to
find my way through those gloomy cav
erns, while I found myself nearly Always
lagging behind my guide, who, knowing
the way and being more active on his
legs, kept Ahead until be reached the
neat loophole, when he waited for me.
At last we reached a spot where the
pAMAge was barred by thick timbers, And
where my guide told me we oould go no
farther, as this was the reserve part of
the fortress where excavations are still
being made to continue the enormous
treach.
This plsoe, he said, was closed to all
outsiders; And even the officers of the
English Army not on duty At the works
at scarcely Allowed to see it I had,
therefor, to resign myself to forego the
sight of the greatest part of that myster
ious cavern, and approached the nearest
loophole the highest we had yet passed
to admire the delicious view and
breathe the fresh Air to which it gave ac-
From the cursory examination which,
considering the precautions necessary
there, was all I was Able to make of the
immense fortress, I gathered that it was
an impregnable position, which, brist
ling with cannon and piercsd with loop
holes looking toward every direction
from which an enemy could conceivably
come, makes it simply impossible for an
army to take it by force. To get posses
sion of Gibraltar, I have not the slightest
doubt that it would first be necessary to
annihilate it.
Ab Irresistible Appaal.
Men And women who understand the
Art of bending others to their will give
due importance to the passion of vanity,
and do not scruple to play upon it A
young French officer who was ordered to
firs upon a French revolutionary mob,
begged his generAl to let him try first to
persuade them to withdraw. "It is use
leas to appeal to their reason," said the
general. " Certainly, " answered the offi
cer j "and it is not to their reason, but to
their vanity, I would appeal. " The offi
cer rods up to the front of the mob, doffed
bis cocked hat, pointed to the guns and
said: "Gentlemen will hare the kind
ness to retire ; for I am ordered to shoot
dawn the rabble. " The street was cleared
at once; for none could brook the idea of
being classed with the scum of the city.
During the agrarian riots which dis
turbed England in 1832, a mob of rick
burners And maChine-breakers Appeared
At the old mansion of two elderly maiden
ladies. The walls of the hall were deco
rated with suits of Armor And Antique
weapons pikes, halberds, swords And
battle Axes. The mob clsmored for the
weapons and for drink. The ladies cour
ageously refused their demands, and
when the mob seemed ready to resort to
violence, Miss Betty, the elder of the
ladies, went up to the leader, a hideous
looking man, and said ; " You, too, of
all the people in the world) I'm not sur
prised at these poor misguided creatures.
But that suoh a good looking, intelligent
man as you should Attack two defence
less women does astonish met You are
the man I should have looked to for pro
tection. But you are not the man I took
you fori Never again will I trust to
good looks!" There was no standing up
against that compliment. The man took
off his bat, and said ; "Come, old lady,
we ain't so bad as all thatl only give us
some beer. We would not harm a hair
of your head!" "No; I know that,"
retorted Miss Betty. "You can't; I
wear a wig!" Ths mob roared with
laughter, and retired without another
void. Womanly tact had won the day.
A gentleman is distinguished from a
churl by the purity of sentiment he can
reach in all these three passions by hia
imaginative love as opposed to lust ; hia
imuginative possession of wealth as op
pound to avarice ; his imaginative desire
of honor as opposed to pride. RiiBkin.
To become wise is to find out how lit
tle you know.

Maay Prlviltsjs.
A visit to the harem considsrably al
tered my preconceived opinions of Turk
ish life. The Pasha's daughter, a bright
pretty little woman, took me in charge
and after asking me a number of ques
tions concerning my own way of living
kindly answered those I asked in return.
A Turkish "effendl," she said, rsrely
married more than one wife. He was
not esteemed socially when bs did so.
But polygamy was allowed. It could
not be gainsaid that the Sultan bad sev
eral wives, hut they did not count Only
one counted.
Not Turkish ladies wsr not so shut up
as ous supposed. They went out driving
and shopping when they pleased. It was
very amusing to spend a day at ths ba
tsars. It was true wives in Turkey
could not go out driving and walking
with their husbands, or even be seen in
their company. It was against Turkish
etiquette ; it would be "shocking, " in fact
Nor did they share a husband's meals,
nor show themselves in ths part of ths
house he inhabited, nor ever, by any
chance, see or encounter any one of his
friends, nor any gentleman whatsoever,
nor go to the theater, nor spend the even
ing out, nor travel. It was against the
law for a Turkish woman to leave the
country ; it would not be allowed.
Still, these trifling exceptions Apart
Turkish ladies had plsnty of liberty.
They could visit each other and shop
when they chose. Their husbands were
obliged to provide fur them entirely, and
to satisfy all their caprices. They oould
not be asked to do a hand's turn for
themselves not even to nurse their own
babies. In short, I think the Pasha's
daughter was of opinion that all was for
the best in the best of all possible worlds,
signify log as a matter of courts ths Otto
man world alone.
Cetera ed ha Bra of Nan.
Science gives us mauy interesting de
tails about what the human eye has
been and what it mar become. The
most aucient written documents attest
that in times most remote only two colors
were known, black and red. A very
long time elapsed before the eye could
perceive yellow, and a still longer time
before green could le distinguished. It
is remarkable that in the most ancient
languages tire term used to designate yel
low insensibly passed to the signification
of green. The Greeks had. according to
the generally received opinion, the color
faculty very highly developed, and yet
authors of the highest repute tell us that
in the time of Alexander the Great, the
Greek painters knew but four colors,
vis. : white, blsck, rsd and yellow. The
ancients bad no words to designate the
colors of blus and violet, therefor they
always referred to them as gray and
black. It is thus that the colors of ths
rainbow were only distinguished grad
ually ; the great Aristotls knowing only
four of them. It is a wall known fact
that when the colors of the prism Are
photographed there remains outside the
limit of the blue and ths violet (in ths
spectrum) a distinct impression which our
eyes do not recognise as a color. Phyti
ologists tell us that, it is reasonable to
supposs that as the color organ in the
human species become more highly de
veloped, and even before the eye becomes
what the opticians would considsr "per
fect," this outside band will resolve into
a color perfectly discernible. Only on
speculation remains : When the educa
ted eye of the year 2300 has discerned
and named this now indistinot eelor,
will another shadowy baud appear to be
classified Among the colors 000 or 1000
years later on?
Valaa af a Passport.
Henry W. Wolff, a traveller, hAd been
wandering about Mete, asking questions
and seeing the eights, and he says,
On my return to the station I found a
surprise awaiting me. The German po
lice had round me out not a difficult
task, since I purposely went about quit
openly. However, that, it appeared,
made no difference. There, at the en
trance of the station, stood a Prussian
gendarme, all on the alert, and looking
very ferocious. Hswas on the lookout
for me, and stopped me at ones.
"Have you a legitimation about your"
be asked gruffly.
"Yes, but do I want oner Am I not
entitled to travel in Germany without a
passport?"
He looked angry, and eyed with dis
gust my "Murray," which bore all too
plainly upon its cover the title "France."
"I must see it I hear you have been
about the town looking at things and
asking many questions. "
"It is strictly true; that is what I am
travelling for. "
" I must so your passport "
"What! In defiance of the emperor's
regulations?"
Ha drew himself up pompously,
"Do you not understand," said he,
"that I must see your passport in order
to bs Able to judge whether or not you
fire entitled to travel without one?"
Here was logio, but logic which, bow-
ever feeble, must be heeded, I produced
my passport And After having studied it
for a tedious interval, he gravely an
nounced that I was fitted to travel with.
out one.
Wheal New Zwlaad aiaks.
It was formerly, say fifty years ago,
nothing uncommon for a new island to
appear above or an old one to disappear
beneath the waves of the Paciflo Ocean.
Such occurrences were sometimes noted
as often as two or three times a year, and
were so common as to hardly excite com
ment among navigators and scientists.
Of late, however, the Paoiflo has been
pacific " indeed. It is about thirty-six
years since the last Island disappeared,
and exactly a quarter of a century sine
the last new one popped up its head in
the "greatest of oceans." But geolo
gists argus that this a suspicious silence,
an omen of some monstrous catastrophe ;
that Dame Nature is simply resting for a
mighty effort. Sir Sidney Bell even goes
60 far as to predict that the whole of New
Zealand and the greater part of Australia
will be engulfed before the end of the
year 1033.
What is it?
i A substitute for lard?
Upsetting the customs, hab
its, and prejudices of cen
turies? Yes, all this and
more. Cottolene is a new
cooking product it is bet
ter than lard or butter for
cooking, so say such noted
housekeepers as
Marlon Hartand,
Catharine Owen,
Christine Terhun Hrrlok,
Emma P. Ewing,
Mrs. S. T. Rorer,
Mrs. F. A. Benson,
Amy Barnes,
Margaret Wlster,
and many others; it is
healthier so says every
thoughtful physician; and it
' is cheaper as every house
keeper knows when she
finds that one-half the quan
tity answers every purpose.
COTTOLENE
is the purest clarified cot
tonseed oil mixed with pure
beef fat. It is the best cook
ing material ever devised
for frying anything and
everything easily digested
and highly nutritious.
Beware of imitations. Ask your
grocer for the genuine Cottolene.
