Even Emile de Girardin, whom Eu genie welcomed as "the gravedigger of dynasties" because he had gone to Louis Philippe on the eve of his flight in IS48 to warn him as he came to warn her now. said to her very serious ly that night: "Should your majesty appear brave ly on horseback in the midst of the people your majesty can still count on their enthusiasm and devotion." Eugenie resolved to show herself on horseback. . She ordered that the rid ::- habit be chosen. It must be all black, of the severest simplicity. An1 she would just pin the red ribbon <f the Legion of Honor on her left breasz. Often the slightest causes brirg about the gravest results. The tragedy of the empire's last chance, therefore, must be sought along with the black riding skirt and corsage. By incredible ill luck they could not find it. There had been one, but it had disappeared, "doubtless stolen." Oth ers were at Compiegne and Fontaine bleau. They found a riding habit of dark green with heavy gold braid, the costume of the imperial stag hunts. "It will not do," Eugenie sobbed; "It will not do!" And so for lack of a black skirt and corsage the empress of the French was forced to flee her capital and lost an empire.-Sterling Heilig in Metropol itan Magazine.

Dr. W. E. Brown & Co. The Last Word. "Having the last word," said a naval officer, "reminds me of a story I heard not long ago. A certain man died, and a clergyman was engaged to offer a eulogy. This worthy minister prepared a sermon of exceeding length and strength, but just before he entered the parlor to deliver it he thought that it might be advisable to learn what the dead man's last words had been. So he turned to one of the weeping young er sons and asked: "'My boy, can you tell me your fa ther's last words?' "'He didn't have none,' the boy re plied. 'Ma was with him to the end.'" Absentminded. La Fontaine, the famous fable poet, was a most absentminded man. Meet ing one day in a saloon a young man, he was so favorably impressed by his conversation that he expressed his ad miration for him in the most flattering terms. "But he is your own son'" ex claimed a guest in astonishment. "Is it so?" replied the poet. "Then I am the more delighted to make his ac quaintance." A nemedy. "For some time past 1've been buy ing a dozen eggs every week at this store, and I invariably find two bad ones in every dozen. Somethings got to be done about it," said an irate housekeeper.

A Paris woman who was arrested for picking pockets and who pretended to speak an unknown language be trayed herself In her sleep. When brought before the magistrate she was interrogated by Turkish, Russian, Pol ish and Hungarian interpreters, but none could understand her, although one believed she spoke a little known dialect of Persia. The magistrate was not convinced- and ordered her to be kept in the prison infirmary under strict surveillance. In her sleep the woman talked fluent French, with the true Parisian accent. Practical fIustration.

One of the leading tenors in Moscow was called upon to sing an opera in which one note was much too high for him. but he got a man in the orchestra to come in just at the right time and supply the note. In exchange the tenor was to take him to supper. The plan answered Well, the applause was loud. but the tenor forgot all about the supper. Next time he sang the opera he went to the front of the stage, put his hand on his heart and opened his mnouth as wide as he could. Iis dis comfiture was great when the expect ant hush was broken by a voice from the orchestra saying, "Where's my sup per?"-From Iskra. Chinese Similes. Some of the ordinary expressions of the Chinese are pointedly sarcastic enough. A blustering, harmless fellow they call "a paper tiger." When a man values himself overmuch they compare him to "a rat falling into a scale and weighing itself." Overdoing a thing they call "a huachback making a bow." A spendthrift they compare to "a rocket" which goes off at once. Those who expend their charity on re mote objects, but neglect their fam ilies, are said to "hang a lantern on a pole, which is seen afar, but gives no light below."

THE MEXIOA-' OCELOT. A Great Jrmnper Is This Strange Lit tie Spotted Jun;;1e Cat. One of the most interesting animals of the new world and yet one of which little seems to be written, even by sportsmen who have spent much time in lexico and the Central American states, is the ocelot. the strange little spotted cat of the dense jungles of tropical parts of the two Americas. They are not nearly so heavy as the average lynx of the eastern woods and are infinitely lighter. on their feet. They run with the greatest agility up and down the almost perpendicular trunks of trees and follow a crippled bird out on limbs too slender, it would seem, to bear the weight of the par rot, let alone the caf. Parrots~are the ocelot's principal food, and their hunt ing is done almost altogether by day, though, like all the cat tribe, they are thoroughly at home in the blackest night The parrots which they hunt fre quent the thickest of forests, coming to the ground only in the rare opeu spaces and along the banks of the many small streams where they drink. In order to follow them it is necessary that the ocelots be great jumpers, and so they are. When I was following the hounds through the southern Cali fornia hills after wildcats and an oc casional mountain lion I was wont to say that the latter was the greatest jumper on earth. The ocelot has any mountain lion that ever walked beaten a block. length for length and welght Cor weight.-F~orest anid Streami. Bears the , Th Kid Yli ': Ahais 89ight Sigrnature of A FLY IN A WEB. The 'Tay :a Tiny Spider Imnprisoned "One morin:: wvhen busy in my workshop." salys a naturalist, "a large fly, double the size of a bluebottle, was caught in a spider's web in the win dow close to where I was at work. It w ~as held by twvo of its legs only. and for some time the spider, which ,was about the size of the fly's head, pro ceeded to strengthen its hold by at taching numerous extra lines to the two captive limbs, carefully keeping out of reach of the others, which were letting out in all directions in frantic efforts to escape. "During a short respite in the cap tive's struggles the spider cautiously approached and with its hind legs got several turns of its tiny rope round one of the limbs that were free. These tactics were carried on till all the legs were firmly bound- It then injected poison into one of the legs. This soon showed itself, for its deadening effects reduced the victim's struggles in a marked degree. The poison paralyzes, but does not kill. "Shortly after a second bite resist ance ceased, and the victor settled down to suck the juices of its fallen prey.' The struggles lasted quite an hour. Next morning the fly was alive, and tihe spider was still sucking out its lifeblood."-Chicalgo News. A Card.
