WHEN NAPOLEON WALKED.
Incident of the Tragic Retreat
From Mcscow.
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."
Suspicious.
"Rut you infers, father," protested
the beautiful girl, when the father
showed indications of a desire to with
hold his consent, "that you do not
know of a single solitary thing that is
in the least derogatory to his reputa
tion."
"That's just it." replied the old gen
tleman. "I don't like the idea of bring
ing any one Into my family who is so
infernally sly as all that."—Exchange.
She Said No.
Mrs. Mannerly (to her daughter,
who has just returned from tea with
friends)—l hope you said "No, thank j
you," oftener than you did "Yes, thank j
you."
Mabel—Yes, 1 did. I hadn't been
eating more'n half an hour before j
they begau saying, "Don't you think
you've eaten enough?' "Aren't you
afraid you'll make yourself ill?" And I
Bald "No, thank you," every time. !
Wife—lf only iny husband were not
so frightfully abscntminded! The oth
er day when we were dining at a res
taurant the waiter brought him some
bad fish, and all of a sudden Fritz
threw the whole thing—flsh, plate,
bread—at my head. I was awfully
ashamed.—l'llegende Blatter.

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!'"

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.
Getting Worse.
j Doctor—Well, madam, you better
tell your husband to give you a list of
his property and money as soon as
possible.
j Wife (bursting into tears)—Oh, doc
! tor, is it as bad as that? I thought
! you said he was getting better.

, well, and I want to find out how he's

"We've been camping for four days
and this is the first minute I've hud
yon to myself. Four chaperons are
entirely too many for twenty people;
that's four-tenths of a chaperon to a
couple—too rich for my system."
"And what, may I usk, is your sys
tem?" She made a grab at lier pole,
which had gradually slipped half its
length Into the creek.
"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. I was earnestly
seeking information—the desire for
knowledge Is strong wltbiti me—nnd I
really wanted to know your—system."
She landed a tiny perch aud helplessly
held the rod for him to take the quiver
ing fish off the hook.
He put the fish in the basket, and
they regarded the lack of proportion of
basket and fish gravely.
"It needs to be Illustrated," he said
solemnly, "not the fish, hut the system.
I could teach it to you."
"I don't know that you are a quali
fied teacher." She cast her hook In a
way that made her line cross Ran
dolph's. 'Professor Jordan is coming
down tomorrow to stay in camp with
us two days." and the inference was
that Professor Jordan, as a teacher,
could not he discounted.
"Hltmph! The old fossil!" grunted
Randolph.
"Fossil? lie's not more than forty

"Your tone. Miss Newton, Intimates
that I am a mere matter of physical
bulk, and yon are further aggravating
uie by getting your line tangled iu
mine Just as I was about to have a
bite."
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."
"Personally." he continued, "Profess

I'll run up to town for the two days

was delighted that he remembered the .
word.
"Is lie really so bad as all that? i
Sounds three or four shades wickeder
than a (Jreek root, but I am glad you
are at least generous enough to credit
him with versatility."
"Doesn't make any difference which
head you classify him under, if he's i
coming here to spoil the party 1 might
as well go back to town and stay. I
asked yon to marry me seven times !
last winter and couldn't even get you
to look at the matter seriously—thought !
maybe all this scenery and the moon
light nights and the or—hammocks
would develop a little sentiment In
your soul, but if there's another man
In the case I have nothing more to
say."
"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. "When you are in town to
morrow night, gasping for a breath of
cool air, don't think you are entirely
forgotten. I shall be remembering your
Idea and trying the hammock. The
moonlight here is fascinating," she
murmured irrelevantly.

Ancient Egypt.
The further the Egyptian archaeolo

civilization lu the land of the Phara

been generally supposed. It Is now
certain that the great pyramids were
built at least 4.0u0 years before Christ,
and it is equally certain that those
mighty monuments attest an already

"Wanted, at once, a rough carpen
ter. 7 shillings a day. Apply J Mor
ris. Onehunga" This advertisement
caught my eye one morning, says the
author of "Adrift In New Zealand,"
when I had been some weeks In the
antipodes and thought It time to cast
about for work. The 7 shillings ap
pealed to me. and. as the advertiser
did not say how rough the carpenter
was to lie. 1 decided to apply at once
to Mr. J. Morris 1 applied and got
the job.
In spite of my conceit, however, I
felt very nervous when the day ar
rived on which 1 had to Itegln my
work. I was at the appointed plat*
a full half hour liefore my Umc.
tramping up and down lu front of
two empty houses, wondering what I
would have to do to them.
At 8 o'clock my fellow worker ar
rived, and after a critical survey of
me asked if I were the new man.and
on my explaining that I was he had
the impertinence to Inquire if I knew
anything about carpentering. I was
piqued.
"No," I answered very sharply.
"Neither do I," he replied as cheer
fully as could be and swung open a
gate and walked into an empty house.
From that moment we were fast
friends.
A Sense of Duty.

"I am nothing if not a man of prac

"When there is a difficulty to tie solved
Hees Rees is the man to solve it."
Then when the boat sauk Bees' fol
low excursionist, John Jones, found
that the plank to which both clung
was unequal to the support of their
united weight. At this juncture he re
membered his companion's boast.
"Prove yewer practeecal common
sense now, Rees!" he pleaded, with
true Welsh eloquence. "Eu are a sin
gle man, with noboddy dependent on
eu. I am married an' got six shildran.
If eu drowns noboddy do suffarr. But
if I do drown then there iss my walfe

A Peddler of Chestnuts.
One summer a well known senator
weut back to his birthplace and of
course made a speech to the friends of
his childhood.
"How well I remember these old
familiar scenes!" he said. "Here is the
house where I was born. Here Is the
old well and then* the garden patch.
Yonder are the woods, an 1 then- is the
meadow. Along the meadow is the
row of stately trees where I picked
chestnuts when I was a mere lad"—
"Yes." broke in an old neighbor, who
seemed to be a lilt bored, "and you
have been peddling them ever since."
Whereupon the meeting closed.—Sat

to be generally understood. A city

puzzled by it and finally asked his vis

that it was different from most dec

Lively Mourning.
A noted English artist once was
standing the edge of the road wait
ing for his horse and ho was dressed
in his usual peculiar style—mustard
colored riding suit, vivid waistcoat
and blight red tie. A man who had
evidently been reveling happened to
lurch round the corner of the street,
lie stared at the famous artist for
a minute in silence, then he touched
his cap and asked in a tone of deep
commiseration, "Beg jiardon, guv'nor,
was you in mournin' for anybody?"

Garibaldi and Tennyson.
When the popular Italian patriot
visited England in 1864 lm saw Tenny
son at Farringford. "Did you hear
Garibaldi repeat any Italian poetry?"
wrote Tennyson to the Duke of Argyll
in reference to the occasion. "I did.
for 1 had heard that he himself made
songs and hymns, and I asked him,
'Are you a poet?' 'Yes,' he said quite
simply, whereupon I spouted to him a
bit of Manzoni's great ode, that which
Gladstone translated." In the same
letter he gives h's impression of the
patriot: "What a noblo human being!
X expected to see a hero, and I was not
disappointed." Garibaldi was a great
leader; Ossein and Scott were among
3ils favorite writers. "1 read few
works of fiction," he once said to an
English visitor at t'aprera. "but I do
like Sir Walter Scott; he is a grand
romancer and much to be preferred to
Pumßs."—Westminster Gazette.

EGIDU OF NINEVEH.
The Most Ancient Banking House of
Which We Have Record.
There was a kind of public record
office attached to the palace aud tem
ple at Nineveh. In which it was cus
tomar; to deposit Important legal and
other documents, sucli as contracts
and agreements for the purchase ami
sale of property, marriage settlements,
wills, etc. Among these tiiere were
discovered official statements as to tbo
history and transactions of the emi
nent banking house of Egldu nt Nine
veh. Assyrian chronology proves that
these refer to a date about years
before the Christian era. when Abra
ham dwelt at T'r of the Chaldees, as is
stated In Genesis. We may therefore
claim for this firm the reputation of
being the oldest bank In the world at
least of which we have any record or
are likely to have. The accounts are
very voluminous and cover the trans
actions of five generations of the house
from father to sou. The linn grew rap-
Idly in importance during this period,
during which they attained great
wealth, for they succeeded in securing
from the king the apr i ieut of col
lectors of taxes, a po-iiion which in
the east always leads to fortune. They
afterward farmed the revenue for sev
eral of the Assyrian provinces with
very great gain to the firm—T. I'.'s

ituoom Beyond His Years.
His mother found him in the jam
and reprimanded hitn. A little later
she caught him teasing his baby sis
ter and reprimanded him again.
"I don't see what's got into you, Wil
lie," she said. "You're usually the
good little boy, but today you're up to
all kinds of mischief."
"I'm tired of being good," lie return
ed, with juvenile frankness.
"Tired of being good!" she exclaim
ed. "What do you mean by that?"
"Well Brother Bob Is naughty most
of the time, and you're always giving
him things to get him to bo good, and
I guess I'll be naughty for awhile and
see If I don't got something too."
Sometimes a youngster seems to have

A Magnate In Embryo.
At the opening exercises of one of
our schools it is the custom to have
mottoes and sentiments given by the
pupils.
Julius Moses gave, "The pen Is
mightier than the sword."
"Why, Julius, is the pen mightier
than the sword?"
"Why? Because," auswered Julius,
"you can sigu checks with it."—Circle.

Douglas Jerrold was convalescing
from an Illness when he read Brown
ing's "Sordello." Not a consecutive
idea could he get from that mystic pro
duction. It struck him that he bad
lost his reason during his Illness. He
thrust the volume into his wife's hand.
After several attempts to make any
sense out of the first pane she returned
it, saying: "Bother the gibberish! I
don't understand a word of it"
