Timne advice given 'Mrs. C. Wil loughby: of Marengo, Wis., (R. Io. I) prevented a dreadful tragedy and saved two lives. Doctors had said her fright ful cough was a "consumption" cough and could do little to help her. After many remedies failed, her aunt urged her to take Dr. Kinsis New Discovery. "I have been using it for some time.I she wrote. "and the awful cough has almost gone. It also saved my little boy when taken with a severe bronchial! trouble."

Prince Napoleon Lucieu Charles, was in exile in the United States, and so it happened that I was! born in America on the borders of the Delaware. I came into the world with the last sigh of the old year-that is to say, at midnight on the 31st of Decem ber, 1833. I have said that my father was in exile. When he was eleven years old his mother left Naples with: her four children-two boys and twol girls-and retired to the Chateau de Frolisderff. taking the title of Comtesse de Lipona-Napoli transposed. Tliere my father lived till he was joined by his incle. the Emperor Napoleon's eld est brother. King Joseph of Spain, who on the fall of the first empire had re tired to the United States and taken a lovely place near Bordentown, N. T., where he lived for eleven years as Count do Survilliers. It was at Bor dentown that I entered this sorry! world, my father having in 1S31 mar ried a Miss Carolina Georgina Fraser of Scotch origin, descending from the old family of Lovat.-Princess Caroline Murat's "Memoirs." A Shock to Vanity. "My wife gave me a birthday pres ent that has a tendency to take the conceit out of any man who thinks he's good looking," said the man who shares himself. "I confess that I have all along had a sort of sneaking idea that I had a little more than my share of manly beauty; that when It came to a showdown I was there with, the goods. But not any more. I'm cured. And my wife's present did it. What was it? Why, simply one of those shaving glasses that magnify three times. The first time I used it I got a view of my face that rather startled I me. Every blemish, every wild hair under the skin, every open pore, all the minute ugliness that isn't apparent to the naked eye-these things confronted me in all their magnified repulsiveness. I used the glass just once and then ac cidentally dropped it down the air shaft to the basement below. I don't want to look like a monstrosity every time I shave myself."-New York Times. The Addition. "What makes you act so grouchy this morning, Dobklins?" "Rad an addition to my family." "What? Why, you ought to be ashamed to be gloomy over that! To think that a normal human being should be angry because of the advent of such a cherub! Do you actually grudge a place in your happy home to an innocent creature fresh from heav en, bringing with it the very fragrance of those celestial realms? Do you greet with an unwelcoming chill a small epitome of all purity and sweet ness given into your keeping as a priceless though undeserved treasure by a too benevolent Providence? A lovely copy of whadt fancy feigns the angels to be like--a tiny shred of grace and glory snatched from the" "Say, that's very pretty, but do you know you're talking about my mother in-aw?"-New York Journal. A Cow For a Life. The Ober Gabelhorn is a peak no torious for the dangerous cornices which decorate its upper ridges. Of ma ny accidents reported in connection with it perhaps the most remarkable, says G. D. Abraham in "Swiss Moun tain Climbs," was the adventure which befell an amateur and his young guide. In passing along the dangerous final cornice It suddenly gave way under the amateur, and he went flying through space to apparent destruction. The guide at the other end of the rope seemed in hopeless plight, but with astounding presence of mind he flung himself down the opposite side of the ridge, thus saving two lives. The rope cut deep into the snow above, but held flrm. The young guide's name was Ulich Almer-. His reward was a cow. His Choice of Weapons. In "A Century of English Ballads," a book by Harold Simpson, there is a delightful story of Stephen Incledon, an eminent tenor of other days, whose singing of "Black Eyed Susan" was peculiarly to the peoplie's taste. While staying at a country inn ineledon had quarreled during the evening with an army officer-. Hie inmagine-d he had closed the controversy by going oir to bed, but the otlicer. left downstairs to brood over his wrongs. thought oth erwise. Making his way to Incledon's bedroomn, he found the singer- fast asleep. When he succeeded in wvak lug him,. a matter of some ditliculty. the otficer demanded satisfactionu. "Satisfa ctiour' murmurted l ucledon sleepily. '-Well, you shall have it." Whereupon he sat up in bed and sang "Black Eyed Susan" in his best st'de. "'There," he said, lying dowA. again. "my singing of that song has given satisfaction to thousands, and It will have to satisfy you." And he turned over and went to sleep again. West Point Traditions. "It is an interesting fact, often re ferred to at alumni reunions and in addresses delivered to the cadets at West Point," said a retired army 0th cer, "that one of the most distin guished of the graduates of the acad emy, who afterward wore the epau lets of a major general, was once a bootblack on the streets of New York and was plying his trade when he no ticed in a newvspaper an announce ment of a vacancy at the academy for the district in which he lived, and he applied for it. "Another of the traditions," contin ucd the oflicer, "is that one of the best cdet oilicers that ever wore the gray was the son of a convict, and, al though that fact was known to every one of his comrades, it never made -the slightest difference In his social standing. I do not know of any other institution where the same social ree ognition and the same loyalty- of com radeshIp would be displayed."-Wash ington Herald. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Thingo Are Chahged Now. The Foiirth of July, the day of our arrival at Albany, ras the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence; and on our arrival we were told that great preparations were making for Its celebration. Our landlord, as soon as he foun out who we were, immediately came to us to request that we would excuss the confused state in which his house was, as this was the anniversary day of "American independence," or, as some indeed more properly call it, "American repentance." We were all of us not a little surprised at this ad dress, and from such a person. In stances, however, are not wanting of people openly declaring that they have never enjoyed so much nulet and hap piness in their own homes since the Revolution as they did when the states were the colonies of Great Britain. Among the planters of Virginia I have heard language of this sort more than once.-From "Travels Through the States of North America," by Isaac Weld, Jr., 1795. A Wedding Hoax. There have been many foolish hoaxes since the days of Theodore Hook, but few so cruel as one mentioned by Bram Stoker in his book, "Famous Impostors." "A young couple were about to be married in Birmingham when those officiating were startled by the delivery of a telegram from Lon don with the message: 'Stop marriage at once. His wife and children have arrived in London and will come on to Birmingham.' The bride fainted, and the bridegroom was frantically perturbed at thus summarily being provided with a wife and family. But it was useless-the unhappy man had to make the best of his way through an exasperated crowd, full of sympa thy for the wronged girl. Inquiry, however, showed her friends that the whole thing was a hoax-possibly worked by some revengeful rlVal of the man whose happiness had been so unexpectedly deferred." Found the Word. The late Thomas Lowry of Minne apolis was a great wit and a great story teller as well as a great finan cier. He needed $1,00D,000 one time for one of his railroad enterprises, and he went to New York to get it On the morning of his arrival a friend met him at the hotel and asked, "What are you doing, Tom?" "I am going downtown to get $1,000, 000." "Can you do it?" "My boy," said Lowry impressively, "In the bright lexicon of youth there Is no such word as fail." That night Lowry came back to his hotel after a. hard day. The same friend met him. "Did you get the mil lion?" he asked. "No," replied Lowry, "I didn't. I opened that bright lexicon of youth, and the word was in it."-Phladelpha Saturday Evening Post. Anecdotes of Richter. Dr. Richter will forgive us, we are sure, for telling two rehearsal stories about him. Madam X. was singing at a rehearsal and was decidedly out of tune. Dr. Richter stood it as long as he could, then turned to her, "Madam"! be said, "will you kindly give the -or chestra your A.?"j At another rehearsal one of the in-5 strumentalists made a mistake. "No," said Dr. Richter; "it 'goes so (hum ming) - rum-tum-tarum!" The same player made another mistake. "No, no --rum-tum-tarum!" At the thirds mis take Dr. Richter momentarily lostpa. tience and cried, "Why do you make so many mistakes, Mr. -?" Then; quickly recovering his habitual good 4 humor, "Ah, I know why it is-you like to hear me sing!"-3fanchester Guard magnitude or a jimon. In some public schools where large4 halls are available an effort bas been ~ made to realize the meaing of a mil lion. They secure 100 large sheets of paper, each about four feet six inches 4 square, ruled in quarter inch squares. 4 In each alternate square a round black wafer or circle is placed, a little overlapping the square, thus leaving4 an equal amount of white space be- 4 tween the black spots. At each tenth spot a double width Is left so as to separate each hundred spots, ten by4 ten. Each sheet then holds 10,0004 spots, each horizontal or vertical row containing 1,000. One hundred such sheets contain, of course, a million4 spots, and they would occupy a space 4 450 feet long In one row or ninety feet long in. flve rows, so that they would entirely cover the walls of a room about thirty feet square and 4 twenty-five feet high from floor to4 ceiling, allowing space for doors, but not for windows.
