THE FIRST MAPLE SUGAR.
An lutliuit Story <•« « < «r*—
leunexa anil ll« K«-.NUU.
One morning the mights hunter
Woksls bade his wife cook for his
dinner a choice bit of moose meat and
have it ready when the tail stick
which he stuck in the snowdrift should
throw its shadow to a certain point.
Moqua was a meek wife, so she prom
ised to obey, and well did she know
her fate in case of failure. After her
lord departed she hewed off the meat
with her sharpest stone knite, and,
tilling an earthen pot, or kokh, with
snow for melting, she hung it o\cr
the Are.
Then she sat down to her embroid
ery. It was her pride that Woksis,
her lordly husband, should sport the
gayest moccasins in the tribe, and
many hours did she spend ev cry *l,a y
ln working with bright colore* 1 porcu
pine quills, for no brave in all that
country was so warlfke as Woksis, no
squaw so skilled in embroidery as
Moqua. As she worked on the moc
casins hours passed as minutes. She
took no note of time, so busy was she
in her labor of love. Suddenly she
heard a startling noise, the bark string
that held the kokh suspended was
burned off, anil a quenching, scatter
ing explosion followed the overthrow
of the pot.
What could she do? There was no
water, the melted snow was gone,
and she must boil the moose meat be
fore her lord's return. It was growing
late. There was no time to inelt more
snow, so seizing a birch bucket of ma
ple water that was always tapped In
the spring for its sweet flavor she
filled the kokh anew and hung it over
the mended lire. Into it she popped
the moose meat and set a cake of
pounded corn to hake on the slab be
fore the fire. Then she resumed her
embroidery, in which the quills were
both needle and thread. She was
working the totem of her race, the
bear, so different from the wolves, ea
gles and turtles of other tribes.
Dreaming of her husband's future
success In hunt and buttle, the hours
passed by. the shadow crept past the
murk, the fire burned low, the once
juiey meat was a shriveled morsel In a
mixture of gummy, dark liquid. When
she saw this the frightened squnw ran
into the bushes and hid herself from
the rage of In r corning lord. After a long
and silent waiting she carefully drew
near the camp once more, and what did
she see? There was Woksis devouring
the morsel of moose meat, and her
wonder was great when he deliberately
broke the earthen pot nnd carefully
licked out the last vestige of her spoil
ed cooking.
She forgot her fears and cried out
In surprise when, discovering her,
Woksis said: "Oh, Moqua, my wise
squaw, who taught thee such a marvel
of cooking? Was the Great Spirit thy
Instructor?" With great Joy he em
braced her, and in his sticky kiss she
tasted the first maple sugar.—Fittsburg
Gazette.
NAPOLEON'S DOWNFALL.
Some I'opulnr DelnNlnn* About the
lluttle »( Wnlrrloo.
Three of the commonest delusions
about Waterloo are:
First. -That Napoleon had the finest
army In' ever commanded. Nothing is
more false. The men mistrusted their
officers, the otiicers mistrusted the fu
ture. Every department was hopeless
ly short of capable leaders, and as for
the marshals whom ho had relied on
for his former triumphs he now lacked
Massena, Lannes, Davout, Marmont,
Murut, Bertbier, to take but six. As
for the Old Guard of Austerlitz, Jena
and Wagrain, It had died in Itussla,
and especially at Vilna, while those of
his men who were not "Maria Ixniises'*
had either been cowed In Frusslan
fortresses or Itussiun prisons or bro
ken at Vittoria or after Lelpsic. His
cavalry was undisciplined and badly
led, its horses untrained and half
starved.
Second.—That Wellington, as he de
clared, had an "infamous army," the
worst he ever commanded. It is true
thut the Americans can lay unction to
their sotils from the fact that the best
regiments we had at Waterloo were
those they bad just so severely re
pulsed ut New Orleans. Henceforth
their pride in Waterloo Is that "dea
vaiuquelirs ties vainquenrs ilu monde."
Yet men of the ritle brigade, of the
King's Own and of the Forty-fourth
regiment were not troops that even
Wellington eouhl Justly decry. It Is
true that of his tIM.OOO troops only 24,-
000 were English, but the Oerman le
gion, the Hanoverians and the Bruns
wlckers were as good.
Third. That, an Sir William Fraser
considered, Wellington, unassured of
Blucher's aid, would have declined the
battle. Whether Wellington could have
declined battle without losing Brussels
or the campaign is a problem for ex
perts, but he had certainly no right to
count on Blucher for the lMth. Wel
lington had half promised to help
Blucher at Ligny, but found himself
unable to do so, though pinned by an
Inferior general and a smaller army
thun his own. After Ligny, Wellington
might hope for a juncture with lyn
cher, but he could not reasonably expect
sufficient of tln* Prussian army to ex
tricate him. Blucher himself was like
ly enough to turn up in fact. Napoleon
told Oourgaud that this cerveau brule
would have rvished to Wellington, if
only with two battalions.—Henry Fol-
Jambe Hull in Spectator.

Is it not surprising that George I'llot,
with all her knowledge of the inner

should have lust her way when dealing
with the morbid changes of mind and

been a great scholar, but after a long
illness his memory upon recovery t*>-

nothing of his scholarship, though he

all this, BaMassare is not represented

CHOICE MISCELLANY
Were Not ii»l«*vr«.
Enforcement of the recent rule that
under no circumstances will persons
be permitted to carry packages from
the world's fair grounds at St. Louis
without a special permit resulted in
four Chinese artisans destroying four
valuable carved wooden images before
an astonished gatekeeper. The four
Celestial artisans had been instructed
to take the images from the Chinese
pavilion to the Chinese commissioners
residing In the city, who had arranged
to have them glided and painted to be
presented to distinguished world's fair
people as souvenirs. Through error no
written permits to take the images
from the grounds had been provided.
A gatekeeper stopped the four China
men and investigated their packages.
The Celestials could not understand
English, but they perceived that they
were not going to be permitted to car
ry the images through the gates.
Thereupon each broke his image Into
pieces. An Interpreter was summoned
end quickly made it plain that the Chi
namen had broken the images to prove
their innocence of theft.
"til China when a man is accused of
stealing anything found in his posses
sion he immediately destroys it to
show that he is no thief," said the in
terpreter. New Orleans Times-Demo

At the bottom of (Ireat Saffron hill,
London, is situated what at one time
was one of the most hideous and dan
gerous slums. It is part of a ruinous
old tenement, exactly answering to the
d. - i-Kption of the infamous den to
which the Artful Dodger led Oliver
Twist as a new pal for a visit to
"Greenland." The den had several
ominous looking staircases leading into
dark and ill smelling passages and had
plenty of cupboards available for
thieves' booty.
From the outhouses any of the light
fingered gentry could easily have drop
ed into the street, while the adjacent
house, condemned by the London city
council, was easily accessible. The last
named tenement, formerly a haunt for
vagrants, with all the conveniences of
a thieves' kitchen, had associations of
the worst kind and has not come un
der the ban of the London parliament
a moment too soon.
Fagin was a real character, named
Isaac Touch, who, when raided by the
police, was found to possess a peck
measure of watches. He had the name
of being a confederate in worse crimes
than training young thieves and buy
ing stolen property.
Tomato Vine an Tall an a Tree.
The skyscraper stage has been
reached in the development of the to
mato In southern California. One of
the latest prodigies in that succulent
vegetable is a group of three thirty
foot vines that have borne fruit at all
seasons and under all sorts of climatic
conditions. These remarkable growths
are in the gardens of F. 0. Case in
Fasadena.
It is necessary to use an eighteen
foot ladder to harvest the tomatoes,
for the vines have covered a trellis
twenty feet In height, where they have
tangled themselves Into a thick, com
pact mass of greenery. The seeds of
these wonderful plants were sown last
May and have been growing and bear
ing fruit ever since. In fact, the vines
are always filled with bloom and both
green and ripe fruit. Los Angeles

Entombed In a grim castle on the
outskirts of Lisbon are some of the
most miserable men on earth. These
are the Inmates of Fortugal's deadly
prisons of silence. In this building ev
erything that human ingenuity can
suggest to render the lives of its pris
oners a horrible, maddening torture Is
done. The corridors, piled tier on tier
five stories high, extend from a com
mon center like the spokes of a huge
wheel. The cells are narrow, tomb
like, and within each stands a collin.
The prison garb Is a shroud. The at
tendants creep about In felt slippers.
No one Is allowed to utter a word.
The doors are unlocked, and the half
a thousand wretches march out, cloth
ed in shrouds and with faces Covered
by masks, for it Is a part of this
hideous punishment that none may
look upon the countenances of his fel
low prisoners. Few of them endure
this torture for more than ten years.

Juliet, Shakespeare's heroine, had
crammed into live days and a half.
The time Is thus apportioned: On
Sunday the ball took place, and on
Monday Romeo and Juliet were mar

draft, and on Wednesday she was
placed in the tomb. On Thursday Bo

In a slang sense bacon stands fur the
human body, and"to save one's ba
eon" is just to escape, so that when it |
is said that a man has saved his bacon
it refers to himself, as do the cognate
expressions, "Spare my bacon" and j
"Sell one's bacon." Thus in t'arlyle's
"Schiller" we read, "To the kaiser I 1
sold my bacon, and b\ him good
charge of the whole is taken."
others have less probably connected
the phrase with the limes when heresy j

who had narrowly escaped being burn- i

How SptirkN Are Formod.
Sparks are formed by tin- expansion, j
under the action of heat, of air con- j
tallied in the minute cells of wood, coal
or other burning substance and also j
by the evolution of gas in the same .
ells. When the elastic force of the
imprisoned gas or air is greater than
the tenacity of the material can hold
in check, then the small cells or cavi- (
ties burst, and the flying splinters rise
as sparks. A sharp crack commonly
accompanies the explosion and con
tinues as hundreds of these cells burst
In rapid succession. The quick tlight
of these burning particles acts as a |
fan to increase the flame, and when
the substance burns so far that no
more flame is formed the remaining j
carbon ash is kept in a state of in
candescence bv the draft of air. When
all the carbon has been consumed the
spark dies out, as Is evident if wo
watch a falling spark on a dark night, j

There lias been a vast amount of
1 pity wasted upon the Moslem woman.
| It may surprise even the woman suf
fragist to learn tliat the laws of Mo
hammed eonfer upon women a greater
I degree of legal protection than any
[ code of laws since the middle Homan
j law. Only the more recent liberties
and protection granted to married wo
men by the laws of divorce and the ex
clusive properly rights now In force In
the United States can be properly com
pared to those in Turkey.. Under the
Moslem laws the provision for secur
ing to the wife the free and uncon
trolled possession of her property Is
minutely stipulated in the marriage
contract. A suitable sum Is also ar
ranged for her maintenance in accord
ance with her husband's rank.—Cen
tury.
Plenty of Opportunities
In this era of education, of books and
libraries, of newspapers and period
icals, of schools and universities, even
ing schools, lectures and the other end
less opportunities for self culture
which our country in particular af
fords all classes, there is no excuse for
Ignorance. It Is only will that Is want
-1 lug.- Success.
Nothing has ever equalled it.
Nothing can ever surpass it.
