LUCIEN BONAPARTE'S SONS.
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

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

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.

WORDS WITHOUT A RHYME.
Cngllull ljngnaae Contain Several Which
Are Hard to Item Agalnat.
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.
No, sir, when tbut peaceful uruiy of
1.50,000 Irishmen congregated round
me, thoir presence spoko, trumpet
tougued, their firm resolution never to
desist from the strugglo until Ireland
should have her own parliament again,
Ana tneir multitudinous masses
were us orderly and pacific us they were
resolute and determined. Ob, with
what unspeakable delight do I recognize
in tho conduct of those 200,000 noble
fellows," eta And thus sailed along,
upborne upon the swelling tide of his
imagination, each sentence adding at
least 60,000 to the previous amount
until at last he arrived at, I think,
800,000. Newcastle (England) Chron

The attraction of such a chnrch as is
that of Homo Is partially, no doubt, an
Imnglnntive attraction, bnt not pnrely
one of tho imagination. Even Dr. Mar-
tlnenn, whoso point of view has Imen so
different that he regnrds apostnlla au
thority itself as by no means final, has
described the Church of Rome as "the
missionary of nations, tho associate of
history, the patron of art, the van
quisher of tho sword." And yet he
would admit no final authority at all in

They thought that the Anglican church

Modern fire Worship In ftnotland.
Burghead, iu Morayshire, is unique
in one respect It has "the burning of
the olavie." This ceremony is gone
through every Now Year's eve, old
style. It is supposed to be a rolio of
fire worship. There is now only one
other community, it is said, in Britnin
where the practice is curried on. Tho
cluvio consists of half an Archangel tor
barrel fixed on tho top of a fir prop
about four feet long. The second half of
tho tar barrel is broken np, put insido
aud mixed with tar. A stone must be
nsed to knock in tho nail which con
nects the polo and the barrel. The bro
ken bits in the barrel are then lighted
by means of burning peat no such thing
as a lucifer match being allowed.
For over 60 years the clavie hns been
mado by the same man, and one partic
ular townsman has provided the "live"
peat for 40 years. Iu the dark winter
night the blazing thing is borne up ono
street and down another at high speed
then carried to the Doorie hill in
the middle of tho village Here tho pole
is fixed ou a short, strong column, and'
tho cluvio burns out. The women rush
iu, aud, picking bits of the now dying
cluvie to "keep the witches away," dis
appear into the darkness. Glasgow
