They Were an Enrrgrtle Iit, lint Had rw Other Ornid (ualltle. Prlnro Lnrieii Bonaparte was tho best of the four sons of Lnuien I. The others made tho states of the iliurrh too hot to hold them. All had impetuous, master ful tempera and literary and archnHiloK leal tastes. In different wnjs each con trived to bleed the lato emperor of mon ey. They worn broniht up ni Muignano tmnng the Ktrurian remains which their father diHenterred during more than 30 years, to the enrichment of most of the great museums of Europe. Pierre and Antnine lived like ban ditti, carrying off women and shooting the men who went to stop or came to arrest them. Pierre fired his final shot t Victor Nnir, at Autenil, and killed him. The eldest, whom I remember as Prince of Musignano, was married to daughter of his ancle Joseph. He re volted against the pope, was president of the Roman constituent, and such a violent domestic tyrant that his wife ran away to Paris to supplicate the em peror to protect her and her ion the future cardinal. The Prince of Musignano met this by threatening to publish certain papers of the first Lucien proving over and over again the dishonor of Josephine and Hortense. Louis Napoleon bought these documents at his cousin's price. The death of the wife, Zenaidc, put an end to the feud. The late Prince Lucien, who obtained a civil list pension of 950 a year about the fourth of the en tire fund figured in Paris during the second republio as an ultra Liberal. He played this card until he got a large sum of money and a senntorship. This post was honorary, as he had to live out of France. Antoine, the youngest of the four brothers, led a charmed life. His life was spared by the pope at the supplica tion of Lady Dudley Stuart and her mother. Tho papal government banished him, and he went to Greene, where he got into another serious scrape. In New York be had the narrowest escupe of be ing lynched for forgetting that ho was not at Musignano. Thence he went to Mexico and Panama, with scheme in his head that ho and Louis had talked over at Borduntown for making an in tnroceunio canal. He laid tho egg at Columbia (?) which his cousin Luciei Wyso and De Lesseps hatched 15 years ago. Thus, bad the tnan sent to arrest Antoine shot, instead of being shot by, him, the Panama bubble would not bavo been inflated in our time. Puris Letter in lAindon Truth. Tesjelirna; Tbfm English. The simplo and effective method of teaching LngliNh to the children of Ital ians, Portuguese, Polish and German Jews used in the north end schools of Boston might profitably be adopted y other cities which are obliged to face the fact that within their borders are thousands of foreign children who know nothing of the customs, institutions or lauguugo of this oountry. A writer in the Boston Transcript thus dosoribesAhe method: The children, within a few days after their arrival, are sent to the patdio schools, as rule without compulsion, nd hero they .are first of all taught the English language. It Is done by a sys tem of object lessons. Tho teachers in the eleuiontary rooms are young women, as men would not be patient enough, to accomplish the best results. The teacher tuny point to bor eye and say, "This is my eye," repeating it sev eral times and requiring the pupils to repeat it in unison. Other portions of the body are pointed out in a similar manner, and then familiar objects in the room are in ithe same way brought to the attention of the children. Later, when they have made snffloicn progress in the language, it -becomes de sirable to teach the different tenses. To accomplish this, boy or girl is directed to run slowly round the room, when the teacher and children aay in unison, "That boy is running," repeating the sentence several times. The bay la then told to halt, and the teacher and pupils say la unison, "That boy -did run;" gain, "That boy is standing stilL" "That boy can run," "That boy is walking," "That hoy walks fast,"-"! can walk," "I can ran," "I did walk," etc. These and other sentences, as .they are spoken, are written on the black board by the teacher, and the pupils write them on their (dates. Thus they are taught the language and taught to pell, read and write almost lmsutene onsly. ' Tb Compass Flu. The compass plant is one of the odd est creations of the vegetable king dom. It derives its name from the fact that its leaves always point directly north and south. So if you are out on a western prairie and lose your way just look for one of these plants and re member that they always point in the directions indicated. Botanists eall this curious plant Selphium laoinla turn. It is unpretentious In appear an oe and bears yellow flowers that are not unlike field daisies. It has a remark ably thin leaf, so thin as to be notice able eves to the untutored eye. The com pass plant is really a western Bower and Is indigenous to the prairies of that section. Ob, guard thy roving thoughts with .jealous care, for speech is but the dial plate of though and every fool reads plainly in thy words what is the hour of thy thought Tennyson. A I.ohntnr'a lga. A lobster's legs, all told, are ten in number, but only eight of these are largely used for walking. The front pair, or big claws, have been specialized, as in the crab, and most others of the higher cruntiiennns, into prehensile or gans for catching and crushing the prey. Their use is obvious. Lobsters feed largely off mntlusksof varior.s sorts and other hard shelled marine uuimnls. In order to be able to break or crush the shells of these and so to get at the soft er flesh within they have acquired such largo and very muscular nippers or pinchers. That is not all, however. Not only have the two front legs been differ entiated and specialized from tho eight others in this manner, but also, by a rare exception to the symmetry of the body, the right claw has been special ized from tho left, each being intended to perform distinct function. One is scissors, the other is a mill ; one is a cutter, the other is cracker. As a rule, tho right claw is the slen derer and longer. It has toothlike pro jections or serrated edges on its nipping faces, and it is rather adapted for bit ing and severing than for crushing or grinding. The left claw, on the other hand, is usually thicker, heavier and rounder. Its muscles are more powerful, and in place of sharp teeth it has blunt tubercles or hammers of different sizes. It acts, in fact, more like a nut cracker than like tenth or saw. It is smash ing organ. Nevertheless you will find it interesting to observe, by noting the lobsters served to you at table, that this differentiation has hardly as yet become quite constant, for sometimes it is the right claw that displays the hammerlike nut cracker typo and tho left that nets as nipper and biter, while sometimes no difference occurs at nil, both claws alike being sharp toothed or blunt hammered in the same specimen. Longman's Magazine. Jay flniild's Netneala. I am seated before a blazing flrn in the library of a man I sea at a glance is a book loving as well as book owning man. Near me, by the center tnble, Jay Uonld is seated in a low chair. Tho shaded lump throws a flood of light ou a book he holds, and also shows in re lief against tho background of shadow his clear ont features. It is tho face of a studuut, and as bo turns to answer aotno questions I have asked about the book I find the happiest expression rest ing on that face. Tho dark eyes are brimming over with that thoughtful look which shows a free mind and a happy moment Then suddenly a spasm of pain distorts tho fane, the eyes close, the book falls from a nerveless hand. For a raoniuut ho socms to suffer tho torturo of tho damned. Then bo pulls himself together, begs to bo excused, and then goes slowly up tho broud stair way, to pass a night of anguish. His Nemesis lias struck home neu ralgia, which hits traveled with him 40 yoars an enemy which all his weulth could not bribe had claimed its pound of flesh. When 1 heurd of how he died turned his face to tho whitu wnTl, whin pered "I am so tired, tired," tuid then slipped into the unknown this scene couio back to me with new inclining. Gould grabbed for gold got it. And tbut, was all he -did get out of life. Oornhill Magazine. The 1'rauttoanundorf Fiddle.

But, to go still farther bock, we were told by the Kng liHti newspapers that in September, 1 718, there was sold by auction at Dres don the famous violin of Count Trout raannsdorf, grand equorry to the Em' peror Charles VL which he had pur chased direct from the celebrated Tyro lean maker, Jacob Stainor. He paid him down in cash 70 golden crowns and undertook to provide the vender as long as he lived with a good dinner every day, as well as 100 florins month in cash and every year a new coat, with golden branden burghs, two casks of beer, lighting and fuel, and. in oase be should marry, aa many bares as he might require, with IS baskets of fruit annually for himself and as many for his old muse (housekeeper). Phipson. One cm the VMacaas. A good story of the late Princess Mice has come out on the occasion of the striking of a medal for the fishermen t Ushant She 'ouoe visited the mint unexpectedly at a time when some medals were being made for noncom missioned officers of the army. While she was being shown through the build ing, the officials thought it would be neat thing to stamp her name and the date on one of the medals and present it to her. She accepted the gift and then burst out langbing. The inscription reads, "For long service and good con duot" An Important Question.

There are a dozen words in the Eng lish language in everyday nun for which enterprising people have de spaired of ever finding u rhyme. The word "month," for example, is ono of these. "Hilver" is a word it seems very eay to secure a rhyme for, but as a matter of fact, trying to find something to rhyme with "silver" nearly drove a London writer of verse insane long ngo. As a last resort he advertised in the newspapers and received but ono reply. It came from the master of verbal con tortion, W. B. Gilbert, Sir Arthur Sul livan's erstwhile partner, who submit ted the word "chilvnr. " He wasn't quite clear, he said, as to whnt a chil ver might lie, but he had seen the word in advertisements of sales of farm stork ud had an idea, which is correct, that it described a species of sheep. "Orange" is another word withont rhyme. "Gulf" is also without an Eng lish partner, and "culm" and "ensp" are alike solitary. Many poets who have sought in vain for rhymes to "revenge" and "avenge" will not be appeased when they learn that but two exist "peuge" and "Stouehenge." "Coif" is now, happily for versifiers, growing obsolete, for there is no word which rhymes with it "Scarf" has been dar ingly linked at the end of a lino with "half" or "calf," but this is a praotiee tn be discouraged. "Scalp" rhymes only with "Alp," but, like "babe" and "astrolabe," it would require much in genuity to find an excuse for bringing these words into Juxtaposition. "Fulse" has on several occasions, by an abuse of poctio license, been associated with "vnlse," though the correct French pro nunciation of the latter word would de stroy the rhyme. Of tho names of places the African town of Timbuktu has long been fa mous for being without rhyme. The nearest sucress that any poet hits ever attained in this respect was when in some old verses describing a desci t hunt "cassowary was made to rhyuio with "missionary" and "Timbuktu" with "thin buck too." New York Preps. O'CONNELL'S ELOQUENCE. H Had Mfime Hterentypcd Ornaments Which He Vaed yulte freely. Among tho stereotyped ornaments of his eloqunnco was a favorite reference to "the tnajestio mountuins and fertile valleys of green Ireland." Once at Athlonn, in the very oeuter of tho flat test part of Ireland, ho exclaimed in the peroration of patriotio speech, "Look around, my friends, ou the tnajestio mouutuins," etc. compliance with which request would huvo severely tested the optics of his audience. Another time, when boasting at the Corn Exchange of the great attendance at a meeting he had recently addressed at Kilkenny, ho outdid Falstaff's 11 men in buckrsm somewhut after the follow ing fashion: He began by stating the numbers present at the meeting at 60, 000, 'aud who will deny," he contin ued, "that the cause must be important and the purpose strong that could as. aemble together those 50,000 men? Let no ruuu say that they gathered merely from a feeling of personul regard or curiosity on my account It would be absurd to suppose that 100,000 men would leave their homes to look at an elderly and ruther corpulent gentleman.
