A PARISIAN BEAUTY. MME. TALLIEN, WHO, IT 13 ASSERTED, SNUBBED NAPOLEON. ' A TVonian Whose Entranrlna; Loveli ne Hassled Even the Women of the French Capital The Mild and lanllenslve Voinl Bonaparte. During llio tllrcetolre Mnrle dc' Medi ci's palace became the center of gov eminent and Itarras reigned there un der the Inspiration of Mine. Talllcn. It was she who organised nil the fetei and ceremonies which enlivened I'arls after the Terror. In 1700 the beautiful Spaniard was twenty-three and had al ready had an eventful past. The daugh ter of a financier named Cabarrus, sue had married at the age of sixteen the Marquis de Fontenny, been divorced from him In 1703 and had remarried, a few months after, Talllen, the conven tional. Arrested May 22, 1704, she was Im prisoned In Les Cannes, and It was from here that she wrote the stinging epistles to her husband which Induced that wavering spirit to dare all In the attempt to set her free. Armed with a dagger In caao of failure and all the Icourage he could muster, Talllen on Khe famous 0th Thermldor attacked Robespierre In a debate which brought about the fall of the "sea green mon ster." The reign of terror came to an end, the prisons disgorged their victims, and Mme. Talllen received from the people the title of Notre Dame de Thermldor. The world was at her feet, and she dai sied It by her beauty and her charm, toer lovers and her luxury. Even wom en forgot to be jealous and acknowledg ed what all men proclaimed. Tho fol lowing description Is from the pen of one of her own sex, Mme. de Chaste nay: "Mme. Talllen came every day to ,vislt Barras. I do not think it possible fto be lovelier than this woman was Khen. I shall always see her like a fairy qneen among the rest, her beau tiful black hair colled simply on hor Ibead without any ornament, round her oeck a tingle string of large pearls, fine wore a white underdress and jjfunlc of Ink crepe, and, sitting on the ground playing with a child of tbreo, the son of ono of Barras' friends, they made a group which no classic sculp ture could surpass." Tiarras tells us with great naivete. In bis memoirs, that the "Little Corslcan" only turned bis attention to Josephine Beauharnais after a fruitless attempt to obtain favor with Mme. Talllen and that this lady had treated hiin with great disdain, telling him "she could do better for herself." This account of the affair coming from any other quar ter would be more credible. A considerable event was now to take place at the Luxembourg namely, the reception given to General Bona parte after the campaign of Italy. For this ceremony (Dec. 10, 1707) the court yard of the palace was transformed Into a sort of temple, and an altar to la Fatrio erected In the grand entrance ball. The five directors, with Borras at their head, attired themselves as Romans, while Talleyrand, the min ister of foreign affairs, was prepared with an elaborate harangue. The scene was made additionally ' brilliant by the presence of many la dles, whose splendid Jewels and rich dresses did honor to the occasion, while their eager faces and murmured admiration betrayed their interest In the young horo. Among these groups not the least noticeable were Mme. de fttael and Mme. Recamler "Wit and Beauty," as Napoleon himself named them. Alone of all the assembly the future emperor bad assumed no Imposing cos tume. His uniform, that of a general of the Revolution, suggested a character of republican simplicity, while bis pal lor, bis gravity and quiet demeanor seemed to deprecate the ceremony of which be was the object The tone of bis speech was equally modest, bis theme the pride be felt in bis country's scientific conquests and her progress In the paths of peace. Surely no government could suspect a rival In so well disposed a young man. Two years later the coup d'etat of Brumalre drove Barras from the Luxembourg, and the first assembly, which in France has borne the title of senate, began its sittings In the palace. Hon. Mrs. E.

To pity distress I but human; to re lieve it Is godlike.-Mann. nndlal Maxima. It Is quite an Interesting thing to learn that some of our best known proverbs and mottoes were originally used In connection with sundials. Be fore the days of watches and clocks, when dials and sun marks were among the rude means of reckoning time, It was a prevailing custom to Inscribe them. Among the maxims traceable to this source are, "Make hay while the sun shines," "The longest day must end" and "All things do wax and wane." Sundials spoke the truth, ns nuiy be Inferred from a historic one which was placed on St. Paul's cross. In London, and which proclaimed, "I number none but sunny hours." This no ono will doubt who has had occasion to commit a dial on an overcast day. A famous dial In Sussex, KtiKlaud, bore four famous mottoes nppllcnble to the flight of time and tho brevity of life. They were as follows: "After darkness, light" "Alas, how swift!" "I warn whilst I move" and "So passes life."

A single blow may be enough to spoil a racer. Daniel Lambert, founder of the Lambert branch of the Morgan fnmily, was thought as a three-year-old to be the fastest trotting stallion of his day. He was a very handsome, stylish, intelligent horse, and also extremely sensitive. Ills driver, Dan Mace, though one of the best relnsmen In America, onre made the mistake, through ill temper or bad Judgment of giving Daniel Lambert a severe cut with the whip, and that single blow put an end to bin usefulness as a trotter. He became wild and ungovernable In harness and remained so for the rest of bis life. Lone: Winded Orators. Edmund Burke's greatest speech Is generally considered to have been the one on "Conciliation with America." The report of the speech, supplied by Burke himself, runs to as many as thirty-two pages. It contains over 30, 000 words. It therefore, could not have been delivered under less than five hours. It is curious, by the way, bow long winded all the great British orators were In Burke's time. The older Pitt was the first to Indulge In long speeches In the bouse of com mons. After be bad delivered one of these famous orations be was hulled by crowds outside the house with en thusiastic cries of "Three hours and a half! Three hours and a half!" "Just as If a man can talk, sense for three hours and a half," remarked the cyni cal Chesterfield, who happened to pass by. . A Railroad of Carves, The first railroad west of tho Alio gbanlcs wo built from Lexington to Frankfort, Ky., In 1331. Tho roud was laid out with as many curves as possi ble, the engineers declaring that this was an advantage. The cars were In two stories, the lower for women and children, the upper for men, four per sons being seated in each compartment. The cars were at first drawn by mules, but after a time a locomotive was made by a Lexington mechanic. The tender was a big box for wood, and a hogs head was provided for water which was drawn In buckets from convenient wells. In place of a cowcatcher there were two poles In front fitted with hickory brooms for sweeping the track. The Fleet Phealx.

Spoiled a duel. The Scheme Senator Lamar Worked to Prevent an lOneoaater, During the course of a heated debate once In the house of representatives sharp words were exchanged between a congressman from New York and out from Mississippi. A challenge was de livered and accepted, and an both were courageous and determined a bloody meeting seemed Imminent. Friends In terposed, but In vain. Both men were resolute, and neither would yield to the suggestion of an amicable arrange ment. As a Inst resort Senator Lamar was called In to save the situation, lie realized that no ordinary .methods would servo his purpose, and so re sorted to strategy. The principals In the proposed duel are still living, so I will call the New Yorker Jones and the Mlsslsslpplan Smith. Senator Lamar called on tho New Yorker, and after the usual civilities bad been exchanged be said: "Jones, I've come here to do you a friendly turn. I know that you and Smith ore determined to fight and that nothing will stop you. I have not come as a mediator, but simply to mitigate, If possible, the horrors of a fatal end, so far as you are concerned. As to Smith, I have no fears. Ho Is a dead shot and can take care of himself, but he Is not an unfeeling man, and Is In clined to respect any partiality you may have in favor of any particular part of your anatomy. Some men eu tertaln a mortal dread of being dis figured after death, and If the choice were left them would prefer not to bo wounded lu the eye or mouth or cheek bono. Now, if there is any particular spot that you would like to hare Smith's bullet enter he has commis sioned me to say that your wishes will be respected." This extraordinary proposition stag gered the New Yorker. Even Ids un doubted courage did uot stand so se vere a test and be puled visibly. After he recovered his composure he replied that he would confer with his second, and Mr. Lamar, after an Impressive farewell, took his leave. The tip was given to friends of the principals and new negotiations en tered upon. The duel did not conio off. Lamar's device had succeeded. New Orleans Times-Democrat. TIME FOR SCOTLAND. Ball on One Hill Drops When Cannon on Another Is Fired. "Speaking of clocks," said the travel er, "Edinburgh, Scotland, bus the most Interesting time marking dovlco I ever saw. The city lies between two hills. On ono of these, known as Carlton hill, there is an observatory tower, in the top of which a large black ball Is sus pended. Across tho valley, probably a mile away, is Castle hill, surmounted by the historic Edinburgh custle. Ono of the large guns In this fortress, point ing toward Carlton hill, is electrically connected with the ball in the tower n mile away. Every evening at 0 o'clock the gun is fired, and at the same mo ment the ball falls. The device sets the official time for ail Scotland. "It is Interesting to stnud on Carlton bill at tho appointed hour to see the simultaneous flash of tho gun on Castle bill and tho fall of the ball closo at band, while the roar of the gun is of course somo moments in crossing tho valley. On the other hand, It Is equal ly Interesting to stand beside the big gun at dusk to watch tho ball at Carl ton hill fall Just as the shot Is fired. I recall once standing in the courtyard of the castlo, watch In hand, waiting for the cannon Just overhoad to be fired. It occurred to me it would be more exciting to watch tho crowds of passing people, especially since not one was apparently thinking of the shot from the cannon. When the roar took place, absolutely without warning, hardly a yard above the beads of the crowd, the scene well repaid my wait ing. Everybody dodged. Children screamed, and men and women jumped to the side of the wall. Of course It was all over In a second, but In that moment It seemed that an electric bock bad passed through the crowd." Birmingham News. Malice and superstition. In tho middle ages malice and super stition found expression in the forma tion of wax images of bated persons. Into the bodies of which long pins were stuck. It was confidently believed that In that way deadly injury would be done to the person represented. This belief and practice continued down to tbe seventeenth century. The super stition Indeed still holds Its place lu tbe highlands of Scotland, "where," says a well Informed writer, "within tbe last few years a cluy model of an enemy was found In a stream, having been placed there in the belief that as the clay washed away so would the health of tbe bated one decline." Trees and Wind. When one travels through the purts of Belgium bordering on tbe seu be sees a striking example of the Influ ence on trees of strong and constant winds.

Skylarks are ratbor prolific birds, laving two broods In the year, and ften laying as many as five eggs, though four Is the usual number. Tbe nest Is so difficult to find that It is practically never discovered except by accident ns when, for instance, the hn j fields are mown, or what Is being hoed. The bird very seldom nests near the margin of a field, where It might bo put off Its nest by pnssersby. On tho shores of tho North sea skylnrks will nest In the "bents" and "marram" close to the edge of the sand bills, though they have to fetch food to their young from a considerable distance. There Is alwnys something very pleas ing In the sight of a Inrk's nest. It is usually sunk In n hollow, and, unlike tho nests of many ground building birds, Is most carefully made, tbe cup being di.ep and perfectly circular, and lined with '.y fine grasses, though tho outer p:..

Many flowers, natives most of them of regions where the day Is Intensely hot expand their blossoms at night Notable among them Is the Victoria Ileglti, which opens Its splendid calyx near the Amazon at nightfall and closes It nt dawn. The queen of the night blooms for one night only, and has Its home on the Islands of the Caribbean sea. The triangular cactus, whose flowers are a foot In length and width, follows the same habit. From Virginia comes the biennial Oenothera, or "night light." which wns brought to England In 1(114 because Its twisted red ro.. could be eaten as salad. Among British night flowers are the rocket, or night violet, the evening primrose and the campion. The white or yellow color ami the fragrance of these flowers of nocturnal habit attract roving moths, which carry hc pollen and so fertilize tho plants. Loudon Standard. The Mondjr Hand. Tho noted English fnmily of the Holtes has for its badge a bloody baud, and this sinister badge commemorates n wager that ended lu a crime. Sir Thomas llolte, one day In 101U, was hunting.

The Jeers of his companions at this failure, together with his huge loss In the matter of tho wager, enraged him so that he ran Into the kitchen, seized a cleaver and split tho cook's bend open wlth.lt. After ward his fnmily, to keep this crime alive, adopted for its crest the bloody band of the cook killer.

Terms Applied te Colae aad Bank Netee la Eaelaad. "We may think there is a great deal of slang In English as we commonly use It In thla country," Mr. J. E. Bora ghan observes, "but In at least one re spect the colloquial tongue of England surpasses the wealth of terms we pos sess In this regard, and thnt Is the slang relating to money. The American Uses astonishingly few slang words In speaking of pieces of money, perhaps because he has a greater respect for It. A five cent piece la usually referred to as a nickel, but this Is practically the only slang term applied to any of our money In general use. A dime is offi cially a dime, and so Is a quarter. "But turn to tbe English appellations for their money and hardly s bit of It Is referred to under Its authorized and official designation. A shilling Is seldom called such lu Ixjndon. They cull It a 'bob,' and a 'tuyld.' which means a piece of tobacco In this country, Is what they term a pound. Sixpence they call a 'tanner,' fourpence a 'Joey' and a penny more often than not is unknown to the streot gamins save as a 'mag.' A cab man will not tell you a ride will cost S shillings, but that it will require a 'bull' to pay for It and a half crown is 'half a bull.' These are prevailing ex pressions for the pieces of money wide ly bandied, but proper terms for higher amounts are kicked aside and collo quial terms substituted for them. "At a raojs track If a bettor says be has ventured a pony' on the probable outcome of a race be does not mean that as It would appear to us, but sim ply that be has wagered 25 on the re sult. Where money is handled lu large amounts it is not an Infrequent thing to hear one say of another that he has a 'monkey' of money, meaning that the Individual referred to is the proud pos sessor of B00. So you see In compari son with this plethora of riches our lone nickel Is a poor crop of monetary slang Indeed." St Louis Globe-Democrat AFGHAN FEUDS. Towers of Refuse From Which the Warfare la Conduoted. In Afghanistan tbe people are good haters. The blood fend exists lu all Afghan trltws. When a murder oc curs the avenger does not limit bis re prisal to tho murderer, but kills any relative that conies bandy. This, in turn, calls for a counter attack, and In time matters become so complicated that whole families are wiped out. When tbe tribe la called upon to meet a common enemy the heads of the families who have bad a quarrel bury two stones side by side In the presence of tbe mollah as symbolic of tho feud being put out of sight during the pub lic danger. When affairs revert to their normal state the stones are sol emnly disinterred and the two parties are free to go on shooting at each other again. Every Afghan villager of moderate means owns a tower of refuge standing at the corner of bis courtyard. These towers, made of stone and mud, are perfectly solid for the lower twenty feet or so, the top being surrounded by a loophole wall and covored over to make It habitable. The base Is protect ed by a gallery, and the ouly means of ascent Is by a rope and a bolo Just large enough for one man to crawl through. Whenever a man has made things too hot for himself he takes refuge In bis tower, aud by the un written law of the country be can never be starved out so long as food and water are brought to blm by a woman. A traveler In Afghanistan tells of seeing one tower of rofuge whose occu pant bad not stirred outside for ten years. His only amusement was tuk tng shots at tbe occupant of auother tower, which were duly returned. In tbo meantime their wives visited each othor and gossiped and were on terms of perfect amity.

I The Peruvians' Barred Number, Tbe Peruvians cared nothing for any f the supposed mystic properties of ei ther three, five or seven. To them the four was sacred, and around It they en twined the main features of all their religious ceremonies and queer beliefs. They believed the earth to be a square divided Into four parts and suspended from the heavens by four colds one nt each of the four cornets. All of their cities were quartered by four principal streets running from a square lu tbe center. They held four annual feast" In honor of the moon, the "silver sister of the sun." To them eternity was to be divided Into four periods of time, each com posed of four times 4.WHI years, and nt the end of each of these cycles tho sun Is to be blotted out of existence. They prayed to the four winds, or to "ye gods that dwell at the four comers of the enrtls" To them the ruins came from four enormous heavenly turtles thnt vomited dampness, aud the four winds from the lungs of the four gi gantic caryatides which stand at the four cardinal points of paradise. The above are but a small portion of the fours alluded to In the legends of the incas An Antelope That Dwells la Swamp. The general Idea of uu antelope pic tures It as a swift , runner, fleeing In graceful bounds over stretching brown plulns. Then Is nn antelope In tho Congo region, however, which rarely ventures to the upland, but actually lives In water, spending practically nil of Its time wading around lu tho swamps and feeding on swamp growth, such us papyrus and other wuter plants. This swamp antelope represents amo ig animals what the heron and other wading birds do among birds, and like these wading birds the swamp antelope bus extraordinarily long and thin legs, while Its hoofs are wonder fully long and spread out almost as wide as bird's claws' when the animals wude In tho mud, thus supporting theia on tho soft bottom.
