NAPOLEON A. CAPTIVE. The Little TE widiadl Ile ids Met

kaaperor William and Bi.marek.

The third Napoleon, chief of a mush-

room empire founded on force and fraud, and doomed to be erushed out as swiftly and suddenly as it had trisen, was never a sovereign worthy of respect and did not deserve sym- pathy in his fall. Nevertheless, 10

reading such pictures of his overthrow as that given not long since in Archi- bald Forbes’ article, “After Sedan,” it is impossible not to pity the shamea and suffering man, already in the grip of the which killed him, uppointment in every hope, and break- ing into helpless tears at the moment

f «acountering his conqueror, the Em- peror-or Germany.

The German Emperor showed him every kindness, but his meeting a lit- tle later with his other powerful ene- my, Bismarck, that bluff and determin- ed man of action, while outwardly def- erential, was less tender of the cap- tive’s feeling. They held their inter- view in a weaver’s cottage never the battlefield, and the weaver’s widow, Mme. Fournaise, related to Mr. Forbes

disease dis-

her recollections of the event. Bismarck, roughly dressed, passed through her room to join the fallen

Emperor in a room beyond. They taik- ed awhile in low tones. Then the Ger- man left the room abruptly and ran clattering down the breakneck stairs, regardless of her warnings that he would trip. His face was stern. She Waited a few moments, and then en- tering the room found the Emperor with his face hidden in his hands anda his on the table. She asked him if tlfere was any service she couil render him. He answered:

“Only to pull down the blinds.

She did so and then stole away. An hour later Bismarck returned ir full uniform, saw the Emperor again, ana after a short talk, accompanied him down the rickety stairs and out at tlie door, ushering him with some show of deference. On the threshold the Em- peror gave his hostess four napoleons, saying as he did so, in a broken vitce:

“This hospitality of yours is, perhaps. the last I shall ever receive in France”

Mme. Fournaise, though sympa- thetic and patriotic, was poor, and she confessed quite frankly to Mr. Forbes the profits she had made by the sale f£ relics of the thistoric meeting. To 3ismarck himself she sold, after some sharp bargaining, the table at which the two had sat; to General Sheridsn, who had been a spectator of the bat- tle of Sedan, one of the chairs, ard to Sir Beauchamp Walker, an English- man, another.

These was the true and actna’ ics, but she also confessed to selling, mostly to Americans, relay after re- lay of straw-bottomed chairs of the same pattern and supposed by these purchasers to be the veritable cnes in which the fallen Emperor and Bfs- marck had sat. She had, however, some conscience in the matter of such sales, although she drew the Ime at sentiment—not principle.

When Mr. Forbes asked, laughingty. if she had not also sold and resold the

elbows

rel-

four napoleons, she exclaimed greativ shocked: ‘Oh, Mon Dieu, no, never, never’ Dta

he not give them to me with his -»wn hand? See, the original four are there in that locked case on the mantel with the glass top. Yes, I’ have had great offers for them. Over and over gain I could have had 500 fran -s the four pieces, but no money would tempt me to sell them.”

Passing yet again by Sedan several] years afterward Archibald YSvorbes tn- juired once more for Mme. But the weaver’s cottage and locked fast, and its lay in the churchyard, her place rest and her funeral expenses paid for, as on her deathbed she had 4di- rected, by the precious four Nayp9oieons given her in acknewledgment of the last hospitality he shoula ever recetve in his own country by the outeast i m- peror of France.—Youth’s Coinpanion.

The Passing of Pagilism.

It is announced with all the gravity and solemnily that should be part of such an important event that the Cor- bett-Fitzsimmons fight has beeyg de- clared “off’’—finally and forever. There is no guarantee that a windy war of words will not continue for months to come, or:that there will not be a street brawl between the two bruisers, but it is reasonably certain that they will not pummel each other in public for a money stake in any part of the United States. This inglorious ending of this much-talked-about test of phys-

ical prowess marks the passing of the prize fighter and his degrading

sport. It is doubtful whether another encounter of the kind will ever take place in any State in the Union. The pugilists and théir managers have been put to a vast deal of trouble and ex- pense to bring off the encounter, and their failure is significant. The time was when New York was the Mecea for these exhibitions but New York de- termined to be disgraced no longer, and interdicted the so-called “sport.” This wholesome example has been fol- lowed from Maine to California, and Legislatures in several States where the laws against prize fighting were defective have had their’ statutes amended, so that where it would have been possible five years ago to have arranged a pugilistic encounter in a dozen different places, without any in- terference on the part of the authori- ties, it would not be possible to-day in any State or Territory. The stamp or public disapproval has taken the pugt- lists’ vocation away from him. In- stead of the dictum “The prize fighter nust g0,”’ we are prepared to say, “The prize fighter has gone.’—New York Mail and Express. Au Areiic Rhinoceros.

A gigantic specimen of the Arctic rhinoceros has lately been discovered frozen up in an iceberg which strand- ed at the Lena Delta. This specimen was seven feet taller than the largest variety of the rhinocerous of to-day and was armed with two nose horns, the shortest of which was three feet and two inches in length. The animal joubtless belonged to an antediluvian species of rhinoceri, and his immense size gives some idea of the enormous ind terrible beasts which inhabited this planet in the “days when the sarth was young.” The creature’s body was entirely covered with very long, hick hair, which proves that the Arc- tic pegions were his natural haLitat

There is only one kind.

And there is only one cure.

So don,t expect to escape or recover untll you have used the cure.

Backache always results from trouble or ailment in the kidneys.

Now, the cure is Dodd’s Kidney Pills.

It is wonderful how much backache means,

It is not a violent pain—no match for toothache, nor even a corn.

Bunt it means agreat deal.

j; Nearly always it is proceeded by a cold = The circulation of the biood is checked right at the kidneys in such a case.

Take one of the worst and most fatal kidney diseasas—Bright’s. ;

The doctor shakes his head and says it is incurable.

This disease is essentially an inflamma- tion of the kidneys,

The blood is checked, or dammed up, r ght in the kidneys themselves.

Still the heart keeps pumping away azainet ths obstruction caused by conges- tion or inflamation.

We are not taking about the heart just vow, but sometimes it fails at such a uncture,

What does it all mean ?

It means that by this extra pressure or the walls of the blood vessels, watery particles ooze through. This accumulated water is the condition called dropsy.

It means a breaking down of the tissues of the kidneys, and then the doc- tors retire or send the patient away some- where to die.

Ur it neans the passage of a great part of the blood unfiltered to do harm at the weakest spot.

Is there still hope ?

Yes.

The hope—the only hope of such a patient—is Dodd’s Kidney Pills. And they always cure.

A HEAVY MORTCACE.

How a prominent farmer quickly lifted It.

A mortgage has been described as an incentive to industry, a heavy mortgage, asasure signo ruin. The last is particu- larly true, for if a mortgage is allowed to run it will eat upthe farm. In this con- nection Mr. Henry Fowler, of Huron writes: “ From my beyheod scrofula had marked me for a victim and it seemed as if it had a life mortgage on my blood, I suffered fearfully with sores, and know- ing my condition I have remained a single man, Doctor after doctor prescribed tor me, and finally a Teronto specialist tojd me bluntly that my complaint was a deep-seated, incurable, blood disease. Sarsaparilja 1 kmew was a good blood medicine, and I sent for a bottle of the best. Mr. Todd, the druggist, sent me Scott’s Sarsaparilla, and I have stuck to it. It has lifted my mortgage, for to-day 1 am free from thos: horrible sores, my eyesight is not blurred, my tongue is not furry, and I have n» irritation. I look upon Scott’s Sarsaparilla as a marvellous medicine when it will cure a life long disease in so short a time.”

Scrofula, pimples, running sores, rheu- matism and all diseases generated by >oisonous humors in the blood are cured

y Scott’s Sarsaparilla. The kind that cures, Sold only in concentrated form at $1 Pe bottle by your druggist. Dose from half to one teaspoonful.

SCIENCE AND PROGRESS.

Recent Discoveries and Lnventions in the Arts and Sciences.

At one of the sittings of the Ameri- car. Association for the Advancement ci Science at Springfield the other day the geologists met with the anthropoio- gists to discuss some important papers, and especially the much anticipated chert implement from the Ohio glacial gravel.

This new evidence presented by Prof. G. F. Wright con- sisted of a chert implement and three quarter inches long and three auarters of an inch broad, which haa very clearly been chipped to an edge all around. This was found by Sam Kiuston of Steubenville, Ohio, at Bril- li nt, eight miles below his residence. Mr. Huston is a graduate of the scien- tific department of Washington and Jefferson College, and for 25 years has been the County Surveyor of Jefferson County, Ohio, and is thus perfectly conversant with all the natural fea- tures of the region, and especially with the gravel deposits which are exten- sively used in road making. He dis- cevered for Samuel H. Scudder of Bos- ten the fossil insects in the coal strata ef Ohio, and so ts well known to sci- entific men.

The implement in question was seen by Mr. Huston projecting from the freshly marked face of terrace gravel about eight feet below the surface, and about 50 feet above the Ohio River, and was taken out with his own hands. The gravel was fine, and the bedding #nd cross bedding above and below it was perfectly distinct and undis- turbed, so that the implement is as old as the deposition of the gravel.

Prof. Wright has visited the place with Mr. Huston and says that no one wili question that it is of the same age of the gravels at Trenton, N. J., and in the valley of the Somme in France, where similar discoveries have been made, These terraces correspond close- ly in age to the terraces along the Con- necticut, of which that where the ar- mory in Springfield stands is a good example. They mark the _ so-called Champlain epoch of Dana, and were formed near the close of the glacial period. At this stage of inquiry there should be nothing’ strange, Prof. Wright said, in finding such evidence, for it is abundant in France and South- ern England; while Dr. Abbott’s nu- mercus discoveries at*Trenton, N. J., are of the same age. This is especially significant at the present time because of reported discoveries. It has thus f&reat cumulative force. This is now the third locality in Ohio where similar discoveries have been made and well attested by competent observers, the other two being at Madisonviile by Dr Metz; at Newcomerstown by M. © Mills. Thus more and more closely dces it become evident that the study cf the glacial period is an essential »sreliminary to the study of huma&h

+ history.

The first comment upon the find was the permanent secretary, Mr. Putnam, who came on the platform gingerly bearing the precious relic in a hat, and it may be that there was a shade of admonition in the little lecture which he gave as to the necessity of keeping hands off such treasures. However that may be, Prof. Wright took the op- pcertunity to explain that it had been brought carefully wrapped in tissue paper. Many were surprised by Mr. Putnam’s statement that after it had been passed from hand to hand by the people in the room its archaeological] value would be gone. At present there Was a peculiar polish which spoke of great antiquity, and it ought never to be touched, except when it is to be ex- amined with a microscope or on some such great occasion. The swiftness with which he formed an expert opin- ion seemed miraculous to the listeners. Further comments were made by Dr. Spencer, who thought the gravel where this chert was found older than the Trenton glacial gravels; by Dr. Hali- burton, who distrusted all finds in the crift; and Prof. Coue, who illustrated by comparison with Pacific Coast dis- coveries.

At the conclusion of this discussion the regular programme for the after- ncon was taken up, the first paper be- ing a study in folk lore, “The spider f0ddess and the demon mare,” by F. H. Cushing, the greater part of which was filled with a singular poetic In- Cian legend, which it is quite impos- sible to reproduce in small compass.~ Fhiladelphia Telegraph.

Achievements of Science.

The whaleback steamer recentiy launched on the Pacific Coast is the largest ever built. It will run between San Francisco and Panama

Andrew Keiser, train dispatcher on a Pittsburg railroad, has invented an ap- pliance by which any engineer upon a locomotive can close an open switch ut once should he by any chance run into one. This is done by a simple de- vice on the locomotive, and a special construction of the switch itself, one engaging with the other at the will of the engineer.

In New Zealand water power is used for generating an electric current, which is employed in dredging for gold in the River Shotover, about 25 miles from Queenstown. The cost of the plant was 335,000, the cost per week of the entire plant is $175. The result is $9 cubie feet of material dredged per hour from a depth of 20 feet. It has now been running successfully for three years.

It is now claimed that smoke never issues from volcanoes, nor are there ftf'ames from the same source. The red light seen above the volcano is the glow of molten lava reflected on the under side of the clouds of dust. The clouds of dust are never mixed with smoke. There are, it is true, bursts of steam sometimes, but rocks do not burn as coal or wood and give off the finely divided carbon which we know as smoke.

The French Government has a scheme under consideration for utiliz- ing the water power of the Seine for the production of electricity at the ex- hikition of 1900, and for commercia} distribution of the current permanent- ly. There are upward of 20 weirs from which power could be derived. At Suresnes there is an available fall of 19 feet. Suresnes is but a trifle over £ix miles from the Champ de Mars. The estimated power available is 1800 herse-power, which should result in an efiective transmission of 1300 horse. power to the exhibition site. It is ar- gued that the employment of the water

power would mot impede navigation, while the cost of the utilization wil}

not be excessive.
