In the middle of t] e 'nineteenth century, when M. de a sseps, after many difficulties, had e cessfully flated the Suez CanaJ 11 mpany, the governor of the British rt of Aden, about 100 miles distant, g is Surprised one morning by the visit Ii a'French squadron of very unusual a e.for that part of the orient which, t: ving encountered a terrific storm off I kotra, hid put in for repairs. 1 n the'mind of the governor curiosity l is at once aroused as to the destina- f in of so large a command, a curiosity V itch increased as he found it impossi- a ? to extract any further information r )m the French admiral or his officers t yond, the statement that they were D on an ordinary cruise, an explana- 3 an which the former was not the i st Inclined to believe. ?irm in the belief, therefore, that c me political move of great impor- t 2ce was afloat if not afoot, the gov- i 2or, in order first of all to gain time, ve orders to go very tortoiselike on repairs and then set to work to take 3 Frenchmen off their guard by giv- h r a succession of such entertainments b both his slender means and the aw- c barrenness of the place would af- d d. S 3ut though at the end of two weeks b 3 French and British officers had got v on the best of terms the immediate r stination of the French squadron re- g Lined as much of a mystery to the t vernor of Aden as before, and In a Ite of all possible delay the repairs I re nearly completed. a qow, it happened that the wife of f 3 governor possessed ani Irish maid, L o had been receiving attentions d m one of the French petty officers- -e entions which the girl did not regard S Jously. It occurred to the governor d t by such means sodiething might c learned of his unexpected visitor's t Lus, and a private conversation be- t een the governor's wife and her c id resulted in another between the ter and her French admirer, by t Lich it was discovered that Perim is- 61 id was the objective pohit. I Lt this information the governor 4 ened his eyes wide indeed, for, If the t es canal were cut through, Perim, as k nmanding the southern entrance to I , ed sea, in the middle of the strait I Bab-el-Mandeb, would be a place of c mt strategic Importance, over which, th6ut doubt, It was the intention of i French admiral to hoist the tri or. ecretly giving orders, therefore, for t ranboat to immediately .embark a do- I :hment of soldiers and steal away in I night for Perim island, the govern- a then announced a farewell banquet I a ball for the day but one following, e Jnal act of courtesy with which the 8 each admiral would willingly have 1 ipsed, for he was anxious to sail, t t wihich he eguld not well refuse on. c :unt of the use he had made of the a lish supplies and machinery at t en.a lo the dinner and party In due course a me off1, the governor beinglin high a rtit, because In the meantime he had d seved the news of the occupation of t rim, which under the circumstances t mnd surely be followed by the longed i 'pomotion, and the French admiral 1: s equally happy, for he hoped on the a rrow to add the same Important lit- r speck of land to the dominion of his a 'n country, thereby covering his a ast with the stars and himself with r iritime glory. ' Kert day, after an interchange of edial farewells, the French squadron led away to an apparently unknown stnation, until, when clear of the i id, the course was laid full speed di- , :t for Perim Island. Chn what was the dismay anddis- a pontment'of the French admiral and t i oflers when, on comning in sight of a hr destination, they beheld the Brit- r L'lagfying and acompany of sol- c r drawn up to give them a proper ute. It Is said the French admiral y s.o mnortified at being thu~s outwit- a that pe first flung his cocked hat c erboard and then followed It himself : the sea. 3e this as ~it may, as Perim was I arly already occupied by the BrItish, a only counter move which the i ech could make was to take posses- t a of a strip of the foreshore on the 3 posite Arabian coast, where they it the fortified white house in ques n, but as the place was entirely at i mercy of the guns on Perim Island was shortly abandoned, to remain to s day as a.monument of a French mia's undoing.-Exchange. - Inopportune.

The mine mule knows a thing or two uite as well as does the army mule. i one of the mines in the Pittsburg istrict the ever patient mule proved Imself possessed of an almost human mnse of coming danger. One morning -hen the full shift was at work there curred an unusual thing. The air arrents had seemed defective, and iere was a restless feeling among the tiners, somfthing like the uneasiness f live stock before a storm. A few ays previous a chamber had been osed on account of gas, and the men ere instinctively thinking of what iat might mean. Suddenly there was clatter of hoofs, and a mule appear 1. Its long ears were quivering, and s intelligent eyes were full of terror. It gave a shrill bray and then was one down the entry, broken traces fly ig after it. The men looked at one nother, and then'the feverishness of ie air moved them with one impulse. ropping picks, they fled precipitately, iaking a headlong dash through the Lbyrinth for the open air. With scared ices other miners joined them, and rhile they were wondering what it 11 meant a dull, deep explosion went mbling through the hollow back of iem, followed by wave upon wave of oxious vapors. Then they understood. hen the bodies of the few poor men rho had been hopelessly entrapped rere recovered, another was tenderly arried out with theirs-that of the lit e gray mule that sounded the warn ig.-Leslie's Weekly. Serpent Worship. 'It was probably in the character of a ealer that the serpent was regarded y the Milesians, since most of the 10 alities of Ireland connected with tra tions of these reptiles destroyed by t. Patrick were esteemed places of ealng. To these spots, generally holy rells, the people of the poor and igno nt classes still resort as pious pil rims taking relief from their infirmi es. They drink of the sacred waters nd circle about the fount on their nees while repeating their prayers, nd it is a curious fact, as we are in rmed by an old time traveler in Ire md, that this circling was formerly one "groveling on hands and knees or en lying flat on the ground and wrig ling like a snake." This must un oubtedly have been a relic of the an lent rites, though the people had not e slightest idea of its origin or even hat such a religion had ever existed n their island. In the same way they still on Bel ane eve (Bel-tinne, or Bel's fire) kindle bale fires" on the summit of every Ill and send flaming wheels rolling own their sides, though ignorant that hey are celebrating a day consecrated D Bel, or Baal, by their Phoenician and rish ancestors, who observed It In a recsely similar manner.-New Lippin ott.

They Were All Tired. The parlor entertainer has some amus ag experiences, although he is not al rays good natured enough to tell them ,gainst himself. One who appreciates .joke, however, relates that on a cer sin occasion he had been performing ,t an "at home" and responding to so sany encores that the programme be ame unusually long. After It was over his hostess with her oung daughter came up to him and, ter congratulating him on the success f the afternoon, said most cordially: "Oh, Mr. Blank, come and have some efreshments and sit down for awhile. know you must be awfully tired."

I have observed In the larger game marbles which we call "making a ing" that most of the boys are playing for keeps" and only a few for mn anud that those who are playing r keeps are the boys with the most ifuence and standing in the com unity. I know a whole lot of boys, me of them living in Massachusetts day, who are playing for keeps, but istead of marbles they are using 'heat or corn or railroad stocks. No e of them knows just whom he is aying against, but each knows that >r each dollar he wins a dollar is lost y some one else. Nevertheless I am old fogy enough to ay that for myself I do not regret my irly training, nor am I ready to leave ehind Its principles, but as long as ie majority of parents wish their oys to be successful it seems to me ou ought to make it clear that play ig marbles for'keeps is an excellent ray of drilling boys in that acquisl veness which will make it possible 3r them In after years to provide their rives and daughters with silk dresses, pera cloaks and automobiles.-Spring~ ed Republican. A Happy Foot. The custom of wishing a friend "a Lappy foot" is to be found in all parts f Europe, and It goes to show how such superstition is connected with ur footgear. It is to be assumed thai he well fitting boot or shoe, which en bles a person to walk in comfort. Is ymbolcal of happiness. The accidental placing of the right hoe on the left fot nutting a shoe as awry or the breaking of a lace is a bad sign from the popular point of view. To tie the shoe of another indi vidual is indicative of humility and lowly position, yet the Chinese wor ship the shoes of an upright judge. There is a curious superstition in some parts of England which advises that when the youngest daughter mar ries before her sisters the latter should dance at her wedding without shoes in order to insure husbands for them selves. On St. Valentine's eve, accord ing to a similar custom, girls should hang their shoes outside the window if they wish to secure lovers. Some actresses carefully preserve the boots they wore when they scored their first success and wear them on all im portant occasions. Got More For the Money. A gentleman living In a rural part of England sent his coachman to a neigh boring village for 5 shillings' worth of penny stamps. After a time John returned from his tramp of two miles. His face wore a self satisfied look when he came Into his employer's pres ence. "Got the stamps, John?" "Yes, sir," the man replied, handing over a batch of halfpenny stamps. "I said penny stamps, John, and you have got halfpenny ones." "Yes, sir," and the smile widened. "I asked for 5 shillings' worth of stamps, an the postmaster says, 'Halfpenny or penny?' 'Do you sell halfpenny stamps?' I asked. 'Yes,' said he. 'Well,' says I, 'if you can buy stamps for a halfpenny, what's the use of payin a penny?' An I bought the halfpenny stamps, sir."-London Telegraph. The Redcoats. An incident at the siege of Rouen, in 1591, shows that red was looked upon as the English color, for in mentioning the death of one of the Earl of Essex's captains it is remarked that the French man who shot him got near enough to do so by putting on the red coat of a dead English soldier. . In 1G43 the king's life guards, as also the queen's and Prince Rupert's, wore red coats. The Revolution of 184S. In March, 1848, I had to go over to Paris to finish up some work there and just came in for the revolution. From my windows I had a fine view of all that was going on. I well remember the pandemonium in the streets, the aspect of the savage mob, the wanton firing of shots at quiet spectators, the hoisting of Louis Philippe's nankeen trousers on the flagstaff of the Tuile ries. When the bullets began to come through my'windows, I thought it time to be off while It was still possible. Then came the question how to get my box full of precious manuscripts, etc., belonging to the East India company, to the train. The only railroad open was the line to Havre, which had been broken up close to the station, but farther on was intact. In order to get there we had to climb three barricades. I offered my concierge 5 francs to carry my box, but his wife would not hear of his risking his life in the streets. Ten francs; the same result. But at the sight of a louis d'or she changed her inind and, with an "Allez, mon ami; allez, toujours," dispatched her hus band on his perilous expedition. Arrived in London, I went straight to the Prussian legation and was the first to give Bunsen the news of Louis Philippe's flight from Paris. So even a poor scholar had to play his small part in the events that go to ranke up hstory.-Max Muller's Autobiography. -Montezuma's Well. One of the most pleasing natural curiosities In the territory of Arizona Is the pool of water known as Monte zuma's well. It is situated 13 miles northeast of the old abandoned mili tary post known as Camp Verde. It is 250 feet in diameter, and the clear, pure water is about 60 feet below the surface of the surrounding country. Some years ago certain military offi cers sounded the pool and found that it had a uniform depth of 80 feet of water except in one place, apparently about six feet square, where the sound ing line went down about 500 feet without touching bottom. The well empties into Beaver creek only about 100 yards distant, the wa ter gushing forth from the rocks as though it were under great pressure. The well Is undoubtedly supplied from subterranean sources, possibly through the hole sounded by the army officers years ago. The sides of the well are honeycombed with caves and tunnels, permitting sightseers to descend to the water's edge. Montezuma's well contains no fish. The flow of water from It is the same throughout the season. Popular opin ion has attributed the origin of the well to volcanic action, but as the rock surrounding It is limestone It is more than probable that the action of the water is responsible for Its creation. Native American.. Millions Made by Planting Trees. Any one who takes a vital interest in the welfare of his grandchildren can insure their being rich by planting trees on treeless land, which land he can leave to them In his will. Some big British fortunes have been provid ed for in this manner. A predecessor of the present Duke of Athole had a lot of land, but it was not especially valu able-In fact, he was "land poor." He determined that his descendants should fare better and so began plant ing trees. In the course of his lifetime he planted 14,095,719 larch trees alone, covering an area of 10,324 acres. His last plantation covered 7,800 acrcs, which in the ordinary way becomes a forest of mature timber 70 years after planting. Thinned down to about 350 trees an acre, each tree will contain at least 50 cubic feet of timber, which, at 25 cents a foot, gives a sum of $4,375 an acre, a total for the value of the timber on the last plantation alone of $34,500,000. The whole initial outlay for this plan tation, which has so increased the wealth of the ancIent house of Athole, Is said to have been only about $15,000 for the seedling trees and the cost of the labor of planting them. The main tnance of the wood was paid for out of the profits arising from the sale of young wood when thinning the planta tions. The Erring One.

"In a moment," said the proprietor. "I am working at something a little more Important than hunting for a clew just now." And while the detective waited the merchant wrote as follows at his desk: "The burglar who broke Into Katzen hefter's shop on the night of the 15th and carried away a silk hat, a pair of French. calfskin boots, a fur trimmed overcoat, a black broadcloth suit and two suits of silk underwear was a black hearted villain and scoundrel, but a -man whose judgment cannot be called Into question.
