It was on Xov. 25, at about 7 o'clock In the morning, when we saw the head of the column. The first we saw were generals, a few of whom were on horseback, but the majority on foot The latter painfully dragged themselves along, almost all having their feet frozen and bound up in rags and pieces of sheepskin and dying of hunger. We then saw what was left of the cavalry of the guard. The em peror came next on foot, with a stick 1n his hand. He was muffled up In a large capote lined with fur and wore on his head no amaranthine velvet cap edged with black foxskin. On his right marched, also on foot. King Mural; on his left. Prince Eugeno, viceroy of Italy; then Ilerthier, prince of Neufchatel; Ney, Mortier, Lefebvre and other marshals and generals whose corps had been partly de- j stroyed. They were followed by 700 to 800 of- ! fleers and subofficers, marching in or der and bearing In the greatest silence the eagles of the regiments to which they had belonged and that had so often led them to victory. They were the remnant of over 80,000 men. My poor Plcart. who had not seen the army for a month, gazed on silently, but his convulsive movements showed only too well what he felt. I saw big tears roll down the cheeks and fall on his mustache, from which icicles were hanging. Then, turning to me, "Really, compatriot, I do not know whether I am asleep or awake; I weep because I have seen our emperor mnrching on foot, a stick in his hand he that was so great and who has made us so proud!"—"Memoires of Ser geant Bourgogne."

FOREIGN MONEY. A Showman's Experience With Coun terfeit Coins In Naples. "When you are abroad," said a tour ist agent, "look out for counterfeit ; money. In France and Italy especial ly look out. There are a lot of small souled French and Italians who save up counterfeit money all the year to dump it on the tourist trade in the summer. "I said to look out, but really that is impossible. An American tourist has his hands full just to count for eign money, with its centimes and lyres, its francs and centesimi, i»nd when too often he is unable to count this money how can he detect coun terfeits in it? "Italy is the worst country, and it : is safe to say that every tourist loses in bad money there 1 or 2 per cent of all that passes through his hands. "When Buffalo Bill showed in Na ples the audience was enormous, but the next day when the business man ager went to bank the receipts of the i night, lo and behold, over a thousand dollars in counterfeit money had been taken in. "Buffalo Bill in person went and complained to the prefect, or chief of police. " 'They passed a thousand dollars on you in counterfeit?' said ihc prefect. " 'They did.' said Buffalo Bill bitter ly. " 'Just like these Italians,' exclaimed the prefect 'What a grand nation!'" ; —Exchange. Thunder In Various Regions. Java is said to be the region of the globe where it thunders oftenest, hav ing thunderstorms ninety-seven days in the year. After it are Sumatra, with eighty-six days; Hindustan, with fifty-six; Borneo, with fifty-four; the Gold t oast, with fifty-two, and Rio de Janeiro, with fifty-one. In Europe, Italy occupies the first place, with thirty-eight days of thunder, while France and southern Russia have six teen days. Great Britain and Switzer land have each seven days, and Nor way has four. Thunder is rare at Cairo, being heard only three days in the year, and extremely rare in north ern Turkestau and the polar regions.

"Dura Newton, yon have a most Ir ritating habit of playing with a man's words—and with bis heart," he said, bis eyes fixed on her fine young arms, bared to the elbow. "I wasn't playing.

She east her line In a new spot with i a sudden show of humility. "Well, you see. 1 hadn't realized that you had attained the degree of psychic development necessary to tell—w hen a fish was about to bite."

"So hammocks are Included In your lystem? I never sat In a hammock with Professor Jordan," reflectively. "I could really imagine no greater Joy than—a hammock and the fossllat ed Jordan," he said sarcastically. "I have to thank you for the sugges tion," airily.
