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, as may be inferred from a historic one which was placed on St. Paul's cross, in London, and which proclaimed, 1 number none but sunny hours." This no one will doubt who has had occasion to consult a dial on an overcast day. A famous dial in Sussex, England, bore four famous mottoes applicable to the flight of time and, the brevity of life. They were as follows: "After darkness, light." "Alas, how swift!" "I warn whilst I move" and "So passes life." Another old sundial spoke petulant ly about the same subject in the words, "Sirrah, be gone about your business." A Sensitive Horse. Harsh treatment, though it stop short of inflicting physical pain, keeps a nervous horse in a state of misery. On the other hand, it is perfectly true, as a besotted but intelligent stable keeper once observed to me, "A kind word for a hoss is as good sometimes as a feed of oats." A single blow may be enough to spoil a racer. Daniel Lambert, founder of the Lambert branch of the Morgan family, 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. His driver, Dan Mace. though one of the best reinsmen in America, oncs made the mistake, throi ill temper or bad judgment, of giving Daniel Lambert a severe cut with the whip, and that single blow put an end to his usefulness as a trotter. He became wild and ungovernable in harness and remained so for the rest of his life. Long 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, how 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 house of com mons. After he had delivered one of these famous orations he was hailed 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 Curves. The first railroad west of the Alle ghanies was built from LTxington to Frnnkfort, Ky., in 1831. The road 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 mechapiec. 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 First Phenix. Legend tells us that the first phenis was born in the garden of Eden and had Its nest In a great red rose--the first rose that ever bloomed. When the angel drove Adam and Eve out of paradise a spark of fire fell from the angel's fiery sword and burned up the phenix and his nest Out of the ashes sprang a glorious bird, which also lived 500 years before mysterious ly burning itself, at every recurrence of which a new phenir is said to arise. His Explanation. "All men," said Mr. Meekton, who was preparing a speech, "are created equal." "What did you observe?" asked his wife. "I said all men are created equal.

MME. TALLIEN, WHO, IT IS ASSERTED, SNUBBED NAPOLEON. A Woman Whose Entrancing Lovel-. nes: Uazzled Even. the Women of -the Frenh -Capital-The Mild and !noffensive Young Bonapnrte. During the directoire Mario de Medi ci's palace became the center of gov ernmc-nt and Barras reigned there un der the inspiration of Mme. Tallien. It was she who organized all the fetes and ceremonies which enlivened Paris after the Terror. In 170G the beautiful Spaniard was twenty-three and had al ready had an eventful past. The daugh ter of a financier named Cabarrus, she had married at the age of sixteen the Marquis de Fontenay, been divorced from him in 1703 and had remarried, a few months after, Tallien, the conven tionnel. Arrested May 22, 1704, she was im prisoned in Les Carmes, 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 case of failure and all the courage he 'could muster, Tallien on the famous 9th Thermidor 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. TaIllen received from the people the title of Notre Dame dejhermidor. The world was at her feet, and she daz zled it by-her beauty and her charm, her lovers and her luxury. Even wom en forgot to be jealous and acknowledg ed what all men proclaimed. The fol lowing description is from the pen of one of her own sex, Mme. de Chaste nay: "Mime. Tallien came every day to visit Barras. I do not think it possible to be lovelier than this woman was then. I shall always see her like a fairy queen among the rest, her beau tiful black hair coiled simply on her head without any ornament, round her neck a single string~ of large pearls. She * wore a white underdress and tunic of ink crepe, and, sitting on the ground playing with a child of three, the son of one of Barras' friends, they made a group which no classic sculp ture could surpass." Barras tells us with great naivete, in his memoirs, that the "Little Coi'sican" only turned his attention to Josephine Beauharnais after a fruitless attempt to obtain favor with Mme. Tillien and that this lady had treated him 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 Lutembourg-namely, the reception given to General Bona parte after the campaign of Italy. For this ceremony (Dec. 10, 1797) the court yard of the palace was transformed into a sort of temple, and an altar to la Patrie erected in the grand entrance hall. The five directors, with Barras 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 dies, whose splendid jewels and rich dresses did honor to the occasion, while their eager faces and murmured admiration betrayed their interest in the young hero. Among these groups not the least noticeable were Mmne. de Stael and Mmne. Recamier-"Wit and Beauty," as Napoleon himself named them. Alone of all the assembly the inture emperor had assumed no inmposingecos tume. His uniform, that of a general of the Revolution, suggested a character of republican simplicity, while his pal lor; his gravity and, quiet demeanor seemed to deprecate the ceremony of which he was the object The tone of his speech was equally modest, his theme the pi-ide he felt in his country's *scientinle 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 Bruma'ire drove Barras from the Luxembourg, and the dirst assembly, which in France has borne the title of senate, began its sittings in the palace. -Hon. Mrs. E. Stuart Wortley in Na tonal Review. * MONEY SLANG. Ters Applied to Coins and Bank Notes Kn England. "We may think there is a great deal of slang in English as we commonly use it~ in this country," Mr. J. E. Sora gh-an 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 that 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 ive cent piece is 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 aialy a dime, and so is a quarter. -But turn to the English appellations for their money and hardly a bit of it is referred to under Its authorized andJ official designation. A shilling is seldom called such in London. They call it a 'bob,' and a 'quid,' yvhich means a piec( of tobacco in this country, Is what they term a pound. Sixpence they call a 'tanner,' fourpence a 'joey' and a penn3 more often than not is unknown to the street gamnins save as a 'mnag.' A cab man will not tell you a ride will cost 5 shillings, but that it will require 'bull' to pay for it, and a half crown-is 'half a bull.' These are prevailing ex pressions for the pieces of ioney wide ly handled, but proper terms for highe: amounts are kicked aside and collo qui terms substituted for them. -At a race track if a bettor says hi has ventured a 'pony' on the probabli outcome of a race he does not mear that as it would appear to us, hut sim ply that he has wagered ?25 on the re suit. Where money is handled-in larg' amounts it is not an infrequent thinl to hear one say of another that he has a 'monkey' of money, meaning that th< individual referred to is the proud p0s sessor of ?300. So You see in comnpar son with this plethora of riches oun lone nickel Is a poor crop~ of mnonetar3 slang indeed."--St. Louis Globe--Demn He's Probably Alive.
