Since I found It , impossible, on account of my responsi- j bility, to sleep of nights, I would often catch glimpses of his majesty's valet tl mending the emperor's trousers. On cl one occasion I asked him why he b didn't give his master a new pair in- ! b stead of mending the old so often. r< 'Well, I would rather have it that I ? 1 ?i?i. i.!,. i ti way, lie answereu, out. jus majesty won't let me.

J Ii FAMOUS OLD GiTY| Geneva Figures Prominently in! r> .r i i:.i rages 01 msiuiy. ! lecords Show Brave Fight for Independence Long Maintained Against Powerful, Unscrupulous Neighbors, j Geneva, the seat of the League of j Nations, witnessed some fierce fight- j 1 z in the days when the duke of avoy sought to destroy its independ- j tice with the aid of a contingent of panish troops. These mercenaries tried to rush le defenses at dead of night, but lough some of them managed to get lto Geneva, not one of them managed ) get out again. Those who were not illed in action were a'fterward beeaded. They still preserve at Geneva seal ig ladders captured from the Spanirds on that memorable night, toether with the caldron out of which Genevan housewife, who had risen arly to prepare her husband's breakist, poured a deluge of scalding soup a to the heads of the enemy troops. Another relic preserved at Geneva ?calls the little band of exiles who 'Orked together there at the tracslaon of the Scriptures, known as ihe eneva Bible. ^ * - " ' * -? -n x.? un me eve or xr.eir ueyanurt? j"i Ingland they went in a body to the' ity fathers, who gave them, as the ?cords show, "honorable license to epart, together with a testimonial f the satisfaction we have had in iem, and an exhortation to act in ie*r turn toward foreigners as we ave acted toward them." Then they 11 wrote their*signatures in the "Livre es Anglais," or Book of the English, 'hich is carefully treasured in the eneva archives. Though Geneva for some hundreds " years has been a sovereign republic, mcli of the architectural beauty of le modern town is directly due to the enerosity of a one-tin^ reigning rince, Charles II, duke of Brunswickfolfenbuttel. The duke, who was born in 1S07, suc?eded at an early age to the throne, nd governed so arbitrarily and cruel7 that his subjects appealed to the lerman diet, which, after some negoation deposed him and placed his ounger brother on the throne. After lis Duke Charles, who was very -ealthy, wandered abbut Europe, makig Paris his headquarters. On the ntbreak of the Franco-Prussian, war, 1 1S70, he finally settled at Geneva, 'here he died in 1^73. He had been an exile from his own ;nd for more than .thirty years, and if e ever had had any affection for. it, : had perished during that time; so e constituted the city of Geneva his eir. His will was disputed by his rother and successor, Duke William, 'ho demanded the family jewels and ther treasure. Before the case came into the courts fie duke agreed to compromise, and fie city came in for a legacy worth bout four million dollars. This stmv r a considerable portion of it, has een spent in beautifying the town, uilding the quays and the elaborate irunswick monument.

Switzerland has found a new use or war profits. The Swiss who reaped n excess profit during the war can et an abatement of taxes if lie will lvest his surplus in residential liouslg under official regulation.

Selling Human Bones. The keeper of a public cemetery of small Bohemian town near Prague xcavated the older parts of the graveard, and sold all the old bones he ould find for industrial purposes, as e found that certain manufacturers aid more for human honrs than for hose of animals.

' FARMER OWES MUCH TO il/SULE ! j Animal Is Hard and Rugged Worker : and Aimcst Indispensable in Many Localities. Tiic mule, like everybody else, lias ; his place. He is considered a bad i actor. Fathers caution their sons ' about going near any animal with long ! ears and ropy tail. Tlie sons Know ; what the animal will do becau.se they j have been looking over the "funny t | paper" each Sunday and were de- j lighted in seeing the mule fold up and j ! let loose with a kick that sent a man through the side of a barn or over r 1 the fence. But in spite of this unj desirable advertising the mule is with j ! us today 011 more farms than ever j i before. He is a hard and rugged j ! worker and Is especially adapted to 1 1 the more hilly farms of our agricul- ; ~ ? i tural sections. Even through the i ! Middle West there are some counties } j that have more mules than horses. In j 1867, the yiules of the United States | numbered 822,000, with an average | value of $6G.94.
