Heavy, Peaceful Slumber of Lions, Tigers and Bears, There is nothing odd or peculiar about the sleep of the lions and tigers. In cap- tivity they show the same indifference to danger that they manifest in the jungle and by day or night will slumber through an unusual tumult, unmindful or\ uncon- scious of the noise. Their sleep fs com- monly heavy and peaceful. Bears are also heavy sleepers, buf less disposed than lions and tigers to sluigpber in the daytime. Grizzly bears usunlly curl up under the rocks, but sometimes they crawl up to the very top of the rocks and, with front paws spread around. the iron cage 'bars, go to sleep in) what seems an uncomfortable position But bears hever release their muscular grasp of an object when asleep. The black bears will curl up among the branches of a tree when they have the opportunity and go to sleep in this pecul- far position. The polar bears show a pe- culiakity in the selection of their sleeping places. Thiéy choose one particular corner of the cage for the purpose and invaria- bly seek this out for the night's rest. The high strung, nervous animals are the most interesting to watch at night. They usually belong to the hunted tribes, whose lives are in cofistant danger in the forest, and they possess such a highly de- veloped nervous system that they really sleep with one eye open. The slightest fiolse will instantly awaken them. The prairie wolves merely seem to close their eyes for an instant and then n them agaln to see if all is quiet. = ; ph these animals by flaghlight,~ \ Yealed the fact that one eye at least was partly open. The day sleepers in the menageries are for some reason the heaviest slumberers of all, and when they close their eyes ¥n early morning they seem almost as stupid as if drugged. This i8 in marked contrast to the light night sleepers, who on the approach of danger are instantly awake and on the alert. Woman, Why ?--You have sallow skin, pimples, eruptions, discolorations.

I hi 1: no thought of it, My rollicking bach" elor life pleased me too well to ex- change it for any other. And that sort of existence lasted un- til I was twenty-seven, #ud then it was brought to an abrupt close by-- what do you suppose? Well, a girl's i face, nothing more--a girl's face seen for a brief moment only at a window as I was changing carriages at Bolton station. You smile. I don't wonder, but I declare to you that from thence-' forth I knew no peace of mind. That face was ever before me, looking out from under a dainty gypsy hat, pale, pure, perfect in outline, with a luxurl ant mass of soft btown hair full of shiny ripples, dark eyes, a little red mouth and shining white teeth. "Some dreamy little chit," I sald to myself again and again, "with a pret- = ty face and a head full of romance. I wish I had never seen her. At all events, it is highly probable that we 'have met for the first and last time; so IYI forget her." Brave words! I could not forget her, and just then, to add to my perplexity, my regiment was ordered off to India. A few days before embarking I re celved, a letter from my grandfather, Sir John Halbrooke, urging me to run down to The Towers in order that I might méet the lady who was destined to be my future wife. My answer was short and tp the point: Dear Grandfaghei--I have no desire to marry. Besides, 1 start for India in two weeks, #0 1 hav no time for courtship. But I shall run down to The Towers to see'you. Your affectionate, eto. The old gentleman's answer was equally concise and explicit: { ll re tively in hag ps. Wha Fe gntontion, (FO) NAYS Jou go to.

XEviden nothing, so 1 cheerfully made n preparations for departure, and bef we sailed--I am glad to remember regrets that T could not do as 'he de; i sired. To this I received no answer, but. month after my arrival in India IT re the announcement of the baron death, and the same paper conta his marriage notice. A letter from solicitors explained the mystery. My grandfather bad been sev: fnjured while overlooking some vations which were being made at Towers, and, feeling that death fast approaching, he had almost at last moment married the only cl and heiress of Hubert Mohtkton, "Moreover," Wrote the lawyer, your grandfather's will you inh something above £50,000, provid: consent fo marry the lady with wB he went through the ceremony of m riage on his deathbed. Otherwise receive not a penny of his fortune." Had tlie man goné mad? Marry grandmother? For, word it as Lh might, the ugly fact was still there = the womdn was my grandmother, 4 Bristling with indignéition, 1 w 6 8 In the first place, I said I would" accept a penny of Sir John Halbi fortune as.a free gift. In the ni would not accept the whole of 1 | dened with a single restricting cl clined holding any comm whatever with her. 3 "And say to my grandmother, ed, "that the world ts wide eno theré are men enough in it for peck whom she may devour and not among those whom the the land now declares to be her own kith and kin. Let her cast her eyes among the strangers at her gates and not upon her grandson!" ? f That ended the matter, and 1 was 3 troubled with no more letters about it. | Two years afterward 1 returned to England on leave, and then fate, Im the person of General Ashland, led me dowti to Surrey for a fortnight's shoot- ing.

Then a smile like the full sunshine i | wreathed my darling's perfect lips, and --and-well, to me that prim old ter- race became then simply Eden, a gar- den of all delights, She is my wife now. I like my fam- ily far too well to think of marrying Cardinal Newman. A friend of Cardinal Newman says 40 The Cornhill that that eminent man if spent every day from 9 to 2 or 8 o'clock in 'his study.

Widows are likely to be that way, too, so that it may be said to be d characteristic com. mon to either sex after a certain age. The incident was almost tragic. "My dear Margaret," he said to her one afternoon. when he had met her by change down town ind walked home with her, "I have known you since you were a little girl and have always liked you. Since you have grown to womanhood I have talked to you on several occasions, and I think you do not dislike me. I have more than liked you. Indeed I love you, Margaret, and [ want you to be my wife." "W-w-why, Mr. Blank," stuttered the girl, utterly routed by the sudden and un- expected attack, "I--I never thought of such a thing. I have the greatest respect for you, but I do not love you and cannot marry you. I would"-- "I don't know what you are going to say," he interrupted, "but for heaven's sake don't say you'll be a sister to me." The girl laughed. She was recovering from the first shock. "I won't, Mr. Blank," she said, "but I do want to be a daughter-in-law to you. Your son asked me to marry him a week ago, and I said 'Yes.' I think he is per fectly dear, don't you?" "Oh, of course," assented the father, but he wasn't as happy as she was. NAPOLEON'S ORDER. TC ead IMPERIAL OIL 00, | THE LEGION OF HONOR AND HOW IT WAS FOUNDED. Despite the Ridicule the Pyofect at wee nr irtton' Napoleoh Knew | French Human Nature. | ! Proved That France owes the Legion of Honor to Napoleon. All orders of chivalry had been abolished by the revolution and had left a gap which it was not easy to fill. "They are mere geegaws," sald Monge, the chemist; who had taught the revolutionists how to make gun- powder out of plaster of paris. "Gee- gaws, if you will," the first consul an- swered, "but people like them. Let us approach the question frankly. All men are enamored of decorations-- the French more than any. They posi- tively hunger for them, and they have always done so." This was at Malmaison in 1802. In May the conseil d'etat was invited to | consider the project of the institution of the Legion of Honor. It was ridi- culed by many, notably by Moreau, who as victor of Hohenlinden was bit- terly jealous of the victor of Marengo. At a dinner party he sent for his cook and said to him In the presence of his guests: "Michel, I am pleased with your dinner. You have indeed distin- guished yourself. I will award you a saucepan of honor," Mme. de Stael was also satirical upon the subject. "Ah, one of the decorated?' she used to ask each guest who was shown inte her salon. But Napoleon had gauged human na- ture correctly. His Legion of Honor did meet a felt want, and It was defl- nitely inaugurated on July 14, 1804. Among the eminent men of science and men of letters on whom it was then bestowed were included Laplace, the mathematician; Lalande, the as- tronomer; Cuvier, the naturalist, and Legouve, the poet. The most notable name omitted was that of Bernardin de St. Pierre, just then in disgrace for éhamploning Mme. de Stael, whom Na- poleon had banished, but he got the decoration later on the entreaty of Queen Hortense, After Jena Goethe was decorated. A little later high promotion in the order was given to General Lamarque, to whom Sir Hudson Lowe had surrender ed at Caprl. "What did you do with | him?' asked Napoleon. "The king of Naples had him exchanged for a Nea- politan general who was a prisoner in Bicily." "Very well; there is no harm in letting this Boglish colonel go. He {s not dangerous." It seems not un- likely that Sir Hudson Lowe remem- bered this sarcasm when he was Na- poleon's jailer a few years afterward. After Napoleon's downfall the ques- tion of suppressing the Leglon of Hon or arose, Chateaubriand, whom Napo- leon had not decorated, strongly urged its abolition. So did Puzzo di Borgo. Marshals Victor, Marmont and Mac- donald opposed. After debate it was decided to recognize and retain the or- der, not on any high moral or patriotic grounds, but because Louis XVIIL could not afford to make himself more unpopular than he was already by stripping people of their decorations. Chateaubriand andl Lamartine consent- ed to accept the red ribbon, but it was also conferred upon & great number of | worthless personages and so brought into contempt. _Theré have been many Legion of Honor scandals since those days, but one of them surpasses all the others in magnitude. This is, of course, the Wil- son scandal, the history of which, though intricate, is worth recalling. The trouble may be said to have be- n on the day on which Mlle. Allee revy fell in love with an' opera singer who need not be mentioned here. He , Wanted to marry he; and she wanted to marry him, and the papers were be- ginning to couple the two names in a manner most embarrassing to the pres- ident of the republic. The president, however, sent the opera singef about his business and. found his daughter another husband, not a very good hus- band, but the best husband he could procure on the spur of the moment. His choice fell upon M. Daniel Wilson, iwho bad long been one of M. Grevy's political supporters and was a financier of some mark, « No sooner was } Wilson established the KI than he proceeded to en- other Le Moniteur de "Exposition Univer- gelle, which really covered a traffic In decorations. The whole story came out In a state trial toward the end of 1887. It was proved that Wilson had made & regilar practicq of selling the Legion of Honor, or, rather, of invit- ing people who wanted it to bribe him to use bis Influence to obtain it for them. His overtures were presented throtigh his jackals, Generals d'Aud- lan and Cafferel and Mmeés. Limousin and Ratazzl, dnd the whole party bad to stand in the dock together. Wilson was sentenced to two years' {mprisonment, a4 fine of 8,000 francs and five years' deprivation of elvil rights. He appealed, and the court of cassation annulled the judgment. The accused, sald the judges, was obvious ly guilty of everything that he was charged with, but as his offenses were not anticipated by any punitive law he could not be punished. 80 he retired to the country and tried to live down his bad name. As he ultimately got himself elected conseiller general, one must suppose that he succeeded in this object. ---- His Mission. A lawyer was passing along the street carrying under his arm & law- book when he was accosted by a self igbteous Individual: "Ha, Mr. Bink! 'nd where are you going to preach to lay? "1 don't preach, I practice," replied lawyer A STORY OF TWO FLAGS. How a Man's Life Was Saved at the Very Last Moment. The following stirring incident of the two flags happened at Valparaiso, Chile, and was related at Montreal in 1881 by the Rev. Dr. J. O. Peck. Dr. Peck sald: "The man who gave me the facts I am about to relate was Mr. Haskins, an American sailor who had sailed to a port in Chile. On going ashore, he sald, to enjoy his day of liberty he @ ilttle 'and became hilarious. ® p+ of ghort skirts. One of the police officers, Instead of | warning him not to make & noise in the street, drew his sword and, strik- ing him a blow, knocked him down. On that the Ameérican sailor got up and knocked the policeman down in return. He was on that arrested and tried and condemned to be shot in the morning of the following day. "Mr. Loring, the American consul, ex- postulated with the authorities that it would be monstrous to shoot the man for such an offense, but they pald ne attention to him, so he thereupon made a formal protest in the name of the United States government against the barbarous act. Mr. Haskins, the sall- or, was in the merning brought out pinioned to be shot. "As the English consul was prepar- ing to holst the union jack he saw the crowd in the field opposite, where thé execution of the American sailor, of which he had heard, was to take place. Rushing over the American consul, he said, 'Loring, you're not going to let them shoot that man!" " 'What can 1 do? he sald. 'I have protested against it. I can do no more.' "Quick as thought the English con- sul shouted, 'Give me your flag? And in a trice the stars and stripes were banded to the English representative. At once, taking his own union jack in his band, he hastened across the fleld, elbowed his way through the crowd and soldiery, and, running up to the doomed man, he folded the American fing around him and then laid the un- fon jack over it. Standing & few paces back, he faced the officers and soldiers and shouted defiantly, 'Now, shoot, if you dare, through the heart of Eng- land and Americal' "And they dared not do it, for they feared the consequences, so the man was at once released. In telling me," sald Dr, Peck, "Mr, Haskins sald to me, with tears streaming down his cheeks even then, 'They loosed me then, and, oh, how I longed to embrace those two flags!' " POULTRY POINTERS. 'A safe rule In feeding is to give enough to satisfy and no more. Droppings should not be allowed to accumulate In the poultry house longer than a week. Bone dust supplies an abundance of bonemaking material and counteracts any tendency to diarrhea. When possible, give the poultry house a southern exposure and furnish that side with an abundance of light. 'While wheat is one of the best gralns to feed to fowls, it should not be fed to excess or It may cause diarrhea. Feed it with other grains. Loss of feathers ls generally caused by want of green food or want of a dust bath. Supply both, and, as a local application, use mercurial ointment. Breed the best flesh formers for mar- ket; then feed them up to as great a weight as possible. Well fattened, well dressed poultry bring the best prices A Point of Order.

THREE PLUMP BABIES, An Exhibition Which the Crusty 01d Bachelors Thought Disgasting. "Disgusting," said ene old bacheior to the other. "Isn't it?" said the other old bachelor to the one. Three women had come into the street car at different intervals with bables of different intervals. The first baby was a lusty child with nerve test- ing lungs. The second was about & year old, and the mother, just a little bit embar d at the bachelors' glares, finall ained courage to take & bottle from a grip and plug up baby's mouth with a rubber neck. The third baby was the newest of them all and entered the car a mere white bundle in the arms of a dignified matron hardly, pe Fass Beginning to unwrap the bundle; which had been somewhat disatranged in the haste to embark, the proud mother first unfolded a cunning pait of blue worsted booties that might fit & grumpy old bachelor's thumb. Then, feeling the eyes of the world upon her; she showed baby's two fat legs, which were as pink as her own ears. Then the cunning sight was solemnly shut from all eyes by a procession of gowns all of white, laced, tucked, embroidered and plain, the fat legs kicking vigor ously, and baby's laces hid thems from sight. Then the little mother sat the bundle upright and threw a soft cloak from the other end. disclosing a round face, a pair of blue eyes wide open in amaze ment and as pretty and baldheaded a baby from end to end as ever made a& | bachelor angry at his own lost oppor tunities. Then the three mothers smil- ed at each other's baby. "Disgusting," sald the bachelors. Then they went out en the platform, and one took a chew of tobacco and the other lighted the butt of a malodor- ous dead cigar he bad been carrying: POCKET COMPASSES. Thousands of Them Sold Yearly {¢ Hunters and Others. "Pocket compasses," said a dealer In guch things, "cost from 25 cents to $10 each, and they are made in various sizes, from tiny compasses half an inch or less in diameter up to those of about the size of a hunting case watch. "Many compasses are carried in nick- eled hunting cases. Some of the tiny open compasses are carried for & charm on watch guards. "In the cheaper pocket compasses the needle turns on a brass bearing; in the costlier compasses on a bearing of agate. In either, of course, the needle will point north, but the compass with ger. "A good pocket compass will last & lifetime. A considerable part of the cost of the more expensive pocket com- passes may be due to the material used in them and to elaborateness of finish. "A ten dollar compass, for instance, might have a pearl face, and so on, bus a good compass, with an agate bear- ing, as good a compass, in fact, as & man needs, éan be bought for $1.50. "Every wise sportsman carries & compass, and compasses are carried by various other people. There are sold of pocket compasses of one sort and another thousands yearly."
