The homing Instinct is lifelong. Dur
ing the Franco-Prussian war the Ger

was on its way Into beleaguered I'arls.
The bird was kept prisoner for ten
years It was then released. It Itnme

DISCOVERED BY ACCIDENT. !
How the Paving Value of Asphalt Was
Brought to Notice.
| All forms of bituminous pavements, I
i whether manufactured from natural or
i artificial asphalt, are in fact artificial |
| stone pavements. The industry started j
i with the use of the natural rock as- j
j phalt from tlie mines in the Val do j
1 Travers. Canton Neufchatel. S wit/or- j
i land. The mines were discovered in
17-1, but it was in 1810 that its utility
as a road covering was first noticed.
| Fhe rock was then being mixed for the j
| purpose of extracting the bitumen cou- |
: talned in It for use in medicine and i
arts. It is a limestone found iuipreg- [
I nated with bitumen, of which it yields
ion analysis from 8 to 14 per cent.
It was observed that pieces of rock
which fell from the wagon were crush-
I ed by the weight of wheels, and under
I the combined influence of the truliic
j and heat of the sun a good road sur
face was produced. A macadam road
of asphalt rock was then made which
gave very good results, aud linally in
18T>4 a portion of the liue Bergere wm
laid In Paris of compressed asphalt on
a eoncreto foundation. In 1858 a still
larger sample was laid, and from that
time it has been laid year by year in
I'ariß. From I'arls it extended to Lon
don, being laid on Threadneedle street
in 1809 and Cheapslde in 1870 and <n
successive years on other streets, and
then Its use In street and road making
extended to . other countries. Ex
change.
Followed the Book.
"Die, Bertrand Maltravers!" hissed
the villaiu. And the hero of the piece
prepared to fall and perish, as per in
structions of the prompt book.
But, alack, the revolver with which
the fell deed was to bo executed failed
to do its horrid work; The villain,
however, was a man of resource.
lie stole behind his victim and smote
him on the head with the butt end
of the refractory weapon, and the hero,
thinking one deatli as good as another,
fell to the ground.
All would have gone well now, but
the promoted super, who was taking
the part of the policeman who discov
ered the body, was late in taking his
cue. lie walked on and indue course
found the body. He was not a funny
mau by any means, but still his flrst
words caused a yell of laughter.
"Shot!" he cried tragically. "He's
been shot through the back!"— London
Scraps.
A Peculiarity of Dreams.
As to dreams, there was a discussion
at the club lunch, and oue man re
marked that no mau dreamed of him
self as braver than he is. When the
dream came the dreamer was always
the underdog. He was in horrible
danger and never did anything pic
turesque to face it. There may be men
who are brave In their sleep, but it j
would be interesting to find one mat, j
outside of the dozen sleeping coward* 1
who Is a hero In a dream.—London I
Chronicle.
A Disappointment.
"Uncle Jed," asked his neighbor,
"how Is your boy getting along at col
lege?"
"First rate," answered Uncle Jed.
"He hasn't cost me a cent. He's work i
iug his way through, he's winning all j
the class honors, aud they've promised i
hltn a professorship of some kind.
"Oreat Scott" gasped his tieighiior i
