The Scrap Book At Napoleon's Tomb. An American wun lieins shown the tomb of Napoleon. As the loquacious guide referred to the various points of Interest in connection with the tomb the American paid the greatest atten tion to all that was said. 'This immense sarcophagus," de claimed the gul.!e, "weighs forty tons. Inside of that, sir, is a steel receptacle weighing twelve tans, and Inside of that is a 1 union casket, hermetically sealed, weighing over two tons. In side of that rests a mahogany coffin containing the remains of the great man." For a moment the American was si lent, as If in deep meditation. Then he said: "It seems to me that you've got him all right. If he ever gets out, cable me at my expense." Success. OVER AND OVER AGAIN. Bay over again ami yet once over again That thou dost love me. Though the t word repeated Should seem a "cuckoo song" as thou : dost treat It. Remember, never to the hill or plain, Valley and wood, without her cuckoo : strain, Comes the fresh spring In all her green ; completed. I Beloved. I, amid the darkness greeted By a doubtful spirit voice, in that doubt's pain . I Cry, "Speak once more thou lovest!" j AVho can fear Too many stars, though each in heaven I shall roll, I Too many flowers, though each shall crown the year? Bay thou dost love me, love me, love me toll The silver Iterance, only minding, dear, To love me also In silence with thy soul! Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Honesty as Good as Sobriety. Gear of Iowa was a candidate for congress. The Prohibition sentiment was running bigli iu Ills district, espe cially among the Quakers, who held a meeting to which they invited Mr. Gear. He accepted. . "We learn," said the chairman to Mr. Gear, "that thee does not belong to any temperance society and that thee does take a drink when It pleases thee." "That is true." replied Mr. Gear with out hesitation. "Thee is very frank," said the Quak er. "I do not like thy habits, but I do like thy honesty. Perhaps we shall be able to vote for thee." And Gear got the Quaker vote. All He Asked. Stephen A. Douglas was very de monstrative in his professions of friendship. ue !h.v he sat down on Beverly Tucker's knee and, throwing his arm around the Virginian's shoul der, said, "Bev, old boy, I love you." "Douglas." said Tucker, "will you always love me?" "Yes, Beverly, I surely will." "But," persisted Tucker, "will you love me when you get to lie president?" "Indeed ,1 will. What do "you want me to do for you?" "Well," said Tucker, "oil I want you to do then is to pick out some public place and put your arm around my neck just as you are doing now and call mo Bev." Seneca on the Ways of God. Why does God afflict the best of men i with ill health or sorrow or other trou- i bles? Because in the army the most I hazardous services nre assigned to the ; bravest snldiers. A general sends his j choicest troops to attack the enemy in j a midnight ambuscade, to recouuoiter his line of march or to drive the hostile I garrisons from their strong places. No . one of these men says as he begins his ! march, "The general has dealt hardly .with me," but "He has judged well of me." Let those who are bidden to suf fer what makes the weak aud coward ly weep say likewise, "God has thought us worthy subjects on whom to try how much suffering human nature can endure." Well Up In Geography. "Whore was Christ born?" asked the teacher of Willie. Willie pondered j awhile nnd finally announced : "Mauch Chunk"' i "Mauch Chunk!" exclaimed the teacher. "You ought to know better I than that. Why, little Georgie knows where Christ was born. Where was ChriRt born, tJporgie?" And the shrill treble of the four-year- i old answered: j "Bethlehem!" "Thafs right," said the teacher. "Well," said Willie, pouting, "I knew It was somewhere on the Lehigh Valley railway!" j Heait!i Is Holiness. Health Is the holiness of the body. ; Girls should be as much ashamed of Illness brought on by their own folly as of being whipped by the teacher for disobedience. Mrs. Cheney. Absence of Mind. Dr. Jenkins of Stanford university Is head professor of the department of zoology. He Is often profoundly ab sorbed in the problems of his profes sion. ' , He was reading one .evening after dinner when his wife approached and, touching him on the shoulder, remark ed softly, "Oliver, Mr. and Mrs. Bran ner are coining over this evening, so just go upstairs and put on your other coat" The professor complied without a murmur. An hour later, when the vis itors had been in the house some time, the hostess excused herself for a mo meut and slipped upstairs to see what detained Dr. Jenkins. She found him In bed, calmly sleeping. "Oh, to be sure, the Branners!" he said when she awakened him. "I'll be right down. I must have forgotten what I came for when I removed my coat, for I kept right ou undressing and went to bed." Dunbar's Resignation. Paul Laurence Dunbar, while he was dying of consumption, contributed t '..ipplncotfs this sermon of resigna tion: Because I had loved so deeply, ' Because I had loved so long, God in his great compassion Gave me the gift of song. Because I had loved so vainly And sung with such faltering breath, The Master In infinite mercy Offers the boon of death. An Astonished Indian. I u one of the engagements of General Sheridan with the Indians his men, taken unaware by the redskins, had no time to remove their mountain howitzer from the mule's ' back, so they blazed away, sending mule and gun tumbling together down hill upon the Indians, who fled in panic. One of them, captured a few days ofterward, was asked why he ran away. He re plied: "Me big Injun; me not afraid of little guns or big guns; but when white man shoots jackass at Injun uie light out damn quick." Montaigne on Self Assertion. Not to speak roundly of a man's self, implies some want of courage. I dare to sieak of myself and only of myself. When 1 write of anything else I miss my way and wonder from the subject. I, who am monarch of the matter whereof I treat and who am account able to none, do not, nevertheless, al ways believe In myself. I often haz ard sallies of my own wit, wherein I very much suspect myself, and certain verbal quibbles at which I shake my cars, but I let them go ot a 'venture. I see that others get reputation by such things; 'tis not for me alone to Judge. I present myself standing and lying, lefore and belli ml, my right side and my left, and in ail my natural postures. To Get a Better Crack at Him. A Sunday school teacher recently asked his pet scholar why they took Stephen outside the walls of the city to stone him to death. The little fel low was silent for a momeut as though absorbed with the problem, when, brightening up suddenly, he replied, "So they could get a better crack at him." Schopenhauer on Journalism. Exaggeration of every kind is as es-, sentlal to journalism as It is to the dra matic ort, for the object of Journalism is to make events go as far as possible. Thus It is that all journalists are, In the very nature of their calling, alarm ists, and this Is their way of giving In terest to what they write. Herein they nre like little dogs. If anything stirs, they Immediately set up a shrill bark. Preparing For the Worst. A French gentleman anxious to And a wife for a nephew went to a matri monial agent, who handed him his list of lady clients. Running through this he came to his wife's name, entered as desirous of obtaining" a husband be tween the ages of twenty-eight and thirty-five a blond preferred. Forget ting his nephew, he hurried home to announce his dlscavery to his wife. The lady was not at all disturbed. "Oh, yes," she said, "that is my name. I put it down when you were so ill iu the spring and the doctors said we must prepare for the worst." Indians on Education. In 174-1, at the treaty of the govern ment of Virginia with the Six Nations at Lancaster, Ta., the Indians were Invited to send six youths to Williams burg college to lie educated free. It Is n rule of Indian courtesy not to answer Important questions' on the day they are asked. After deliberating they declined the Invitation. They said that they had sent several young men to the colleges of the northern provinces und when they returned they were poor runners, ignorant of how to get a living in the woods, could not bear cold or hunger, could not build a cabin, take a deer or kill an enemy and spoke their own language badly. They were not fit for hunters, warriors or councilors. They were totally good for nothing. "If the gentlemen of Virginia will send us a dozen of their sons, we will take groat care of their education, Instruct tliom in all we know and make men of them." How Bismarck Got Well. "Do you not find It a great relief," asked Bismarck of Count Beust at Gas telu in 1871, "to smash things when you are in a passion? One day I was over there" pointing to the windows of the emperor's apartments opposite "nnd I fr;t into a violent nige. On U living I s!:;u the door violently, nnd the !:iy remained in my hand. I went to Lelindorf's room and threw the key into the basin, which broke into a hun dred pieces. 'What Is the matter?' he txclalmed. 'Are you 111?' 'I was 111,' I replied, 'but I am now quite well, thank you.' " The Hero of the Adige. "I will give a hundred French louis to any one who will venture to deliver these unfortunate people," said Count Spolverinl when the swollen Adige swept away the bridge of Verona with the exception of the center arch. On this section stood a house whose In mates cried for help from the windows as they saw the foundations slowly giving way. A young peasant seized a 'boat and pushed into the flood. He igalned the pier, took the whole family nto the little boat and carried them safely to land. "Here is your money, my brave young fellow," said the count. "No," said the youth, "I do not sell my life. Give the money to this poor family who have need of It." North Carolina at Jamtstown.

I am not well yet, but am so much better that 1 will keep on taking Wine of Cardui till I am perfectly cured." j Despite the envious attacks of jealous enemies and rivals, Cardui still holds supreme position today as in the past 70 years for the relief and cure of female diseases. It stops pain, tones up the organs, regulates the functions, and aids in the replacement of a misplaced organ.
