NAPOLEON'S BAD OMEN.
He Was Superstitious, and His Pre
sentiment Came True.
Napoleon the Great was exceedingly
superstitious. The following is told
as one of the illustrations of this:
When Napolecn, in the spring of
1790, was lying before Acre he wns
Rnxious for news from upper Egypt,
whither he had dispatched Dessaix in
pursuit of a distinguished Mameluke
leader. Not many days after a cour
tier arrived with favorable dispatches,
favorable in the main, but reporting
one tragical occurrence on a small
scale that to Napoleon outweighed the
public prosperity.
The commander as a brave man felt
that any fate that awaited him would
be better than to fall into the hands
of tbe enemy. FTe set fire to the now-
der magazine. The vessel blew up
and the crew perished.
For all this Napoleon cared little,
but one solitary fact that was in th
report which struck him with secret
alarm this 111 fated boat was called
L'ltalle, and in the name of the vessel
Napoleon read an augury or the fate
wnicti had befallen the Italian terri
tory. FTe felt certain that Italy was
lost, and Napoleon wns Inconsolable.
But what possible connection, it was
asked, can exist between this vessel
on the Mle aud a remote nenlnsula of
southern Europe? "No matter," re
plied Napoleon, "my presentiments
never deceive me. You will see that
all is ruined. I am satisfied that my
Italy, my conquest, Is lost to France."
So, indeed, it was. New York Press.
CHAMPION LAZY PEOPLE.
Kongo Gluttons Who Do Little Else
Than Sleep and Eat.
According to M. Fried ma nn. a Ger
man traveler and historian recently re
turned from the Kongo, there is a tribe
of natives down in one of the interior
parts of that region actually so stuffed
all of the time with food, three or four
times as much as they have any need
of, that they are continually in a dull
and almost unintelligent stupor.
They do little besides sleep and eat.
They are too lazy to do any individual
hunting, and it is the disliked end un
popular member of the family that is
forced to do the food providing for the
relatives. The women are quite as lazy
as the men and work only when it is
absolutely necessary to eat.
The only time when the natives
rouse themselves is at marriage or at
death. Both of these occasions are cel
ebrated by eating more than on ordi-
viry occasions even and thf after cf-
fects of both events are often disas
trous, as one or two of the party are
sure to eat so much as to be seriously
and often fataliy sick, which only
means another celebration of a differ
ent kind.
The few missionaries who have pen
etrated the interior sufficiently far to
meet with these tribes own to their be
ing practically hopeless as far as any
regenerating is concerned. They seem
to have been stupefied through the
centuries and to have become utterly
degenerate and useless members of so
ciety. Chicago Tribune.
A Single Line Poet. v
Every man lus Ihe streak of poetry

Tbe Dominating Automobile.
The automobile is in our midst,
we see and hear it every day. It is
in high and constantly growing fa
vor in country as well as in towns
and it is to be feared that many of
the proud and happy owners of cars
borrowed the money with which to
to buy. Sometime the purchase
price is represented by a mortgage
on the home, which of course is bad
policy. Many farmers are also be
ing exploited as new consumers of
automobiles. Just as soon as the
car is bought the owner straightway
becomes interested in good roads
and the marked improvements on
our roads are largely due to car
owners and drivers, this indeed is
one blessing. Many of the larger
cars have the power and speed of a
locomotive and no matter with what
motive, when recklessly driven on
the public roads is a nuisance. They
seize too boldly upon the right of
way and relying upon the size and
speed of their "horseless" carriage,
frequently exceed the lawful limit.
The farmers driving along the
country road with a spirited horse
hears the distant signal of a high
speeding car, which says in whistle
far more emphatically than if it had
used the words, "Get out of my way
or you'll be sorry." A moment la
ter a large touring car dsshes by
with pulsating machine and a cloud
of dust to mark its course. It is in-
deed very unpleasant to be "chased"
by one, and is still worse to met it
with a frightened horse. Does the
chauffer pause to see what damage
is done? Nine out of ten times he
will not, nor will he even give half
of the road, if any one gets in the
ditch the horse must gc and get out
the best way he can.
Now there is some exception to
the rule of course, if our doctors
over speed they are pardoned in the
sight of all men, for some times
their'patients need instant attention.
As results of overspeeding a feel
ing of antagonism has arisen be
tween the car drivers and the horse
drivers. The longer such a regula
tion of cars is delayed the haider it
will be to exercise the requisite con
trol over one class in this communi
ty who have, in defiance of the
rights of others as users of the high
way, become a nuisance.
The auto, for both good and bad,
is in our midst and we cannot get
rid of it if we would. We are some
times helped, but often annoyed by
it.
Nojcountryman ought to be obliged
to run to escape an automobile, to
make his do so is unlawful and yet

is no need to do so. Vj

DrlnKing and Smoking Record Smashed
Washington D. C The American
people drank morcwhiskey and beer
smoked more cigars and cigarettes
and chewed more tobacco during
the fiscal year 1913 than in any other
yearly period of the nation's history
according to estimates based yester-"
day upon the record-breaking inter
nal revenue receipts of the Federal
government for the 12 months ended
June 30th.
The drinkers of the country con
sumed 143,300,000 gallon of whiskey
and brandy breaking the former
high record of the fiscal year 1907
by 7,300,000 gallons. The consump
tion of beer wns 64,500,000 barrels
exceeding the great record of 1911
by more than 1,000,000 barrels.
Smokers puffed into space 7,707,

Sensational Cnarges.
New York, Aug. 9. Governor
William Sulzer, of New York was
nearly $50,000 in debt as the result
of stock market speculations at the
time of his nomination, and used
contributions to his campaign fund
to make additional purchases of
stock while this debt was hanging
over him, according to testimony
adducted today at the hearings of
the Frawley committee, of the legis
lature.
The evidence brought to light is
sufficient, according to Senator
Frawley, chairman of the committee
to warrant proceedings to impeach
the Governor for violation of the
corrupt practices act. The commit
tee closed its hearings here today to
consider what action should be ta
ken. A decision is expected by Mon
day.
Carving Tour Own Ideals.
There is a little fable that is in a
way symbolical. A young Greek
sculptor once made a beautiful figure
marble. He carved it and worked
over ft and under his hands it grew
into a maiden of marvelous beauty.
As she grew more charming day by
day he grew to love her dearly cold
stone though she was.
At last the statue was finished.
The sculptor adored; then despair
ing he went to the temple and prayed
that faith in his artistic creation
might be justified Sadly discon
solately he returned to his studio.
He stepped into the room and touch
ed the hand and lo! it was soft and
warm to the touch and the lip3 smile
down at him as the figure stepped
from her pedatal.
Though merely a fable it teaches
us a good lesson: Carve your ideal
in good mater al put the best work
of the heart, mind and soul into it,
some day your labor will be reward
ed and you will discover that you
have builded well that you worked
in marble and not in common clay.

Worry.
You must kill worry or worry
will kill you. No man is fit for
business if he is not vigorous. It
is a man's duty to keep all his pow
ers up to such a standard that he
can fling himself into his work with
enthusiasm. A man who doesn't
work cannot enjoy life. One reason
why there is so much inferior work
in the world, why so many reputa
tionsjdecline and suffed out complet
ely and why so many fail altogether
is that people do not keep them
selves up to their natural standard.
Find the interior of a perfectly hap
py domestic circle and you find a
business on the exterior that is going
on to the full ability of the head
of that house. You cannot worry
without bringing to your !system
idleness, vacillation, dissipation, ir
regularity and other forms of waste
that will impair your effectiveness.
Business should worry no man. Hard
work,cheerfulness,honesty, patience
and sobriety are natural agencies
for progress but worry will reverse
them sooner than any agency know.
If you can't master the business sell
it. but don't worry. Keep in the
right frame of mind and you will be
on the job in the right work all the
time. Merchants Journal and Com

NOTHING MAY BE VERY FUNNY.
Veedon Grossmith Proved It to Henry
Irving's Satisfaction.
In "From Studio to Stage" Weedon
Grossmith tells us of his invitation to
play Jacques Strop to Henry Irving's
Robert Macaire. lie says it took his
breath away. Irving told him that ho
had received ?ood reports of tbe young
nctor from Booth and Jefferson in
America and arranged to pay him 10
a week if that would be enough.
"I didn't tell bim that I would have
played the part fur nothing and have
willingly given a premium to have
done so (If I had had the premium). 1
positively received 10 a week to be in
structed In the art of acting by the
greatest nctor of our time! It was
worth hundreds to me Iwtli from an
artistic and a business poiut of view
The pains and trouble Irving took with
every one over the slightest detail were
remarkable. I admit he was very try
ing at times, especially when I was
dclng something quietly humorous or.
rather, nothing a n;l ho would gaze on
me very solemnly and say. 'That's not
funny, my boy. You must do some
thing funny there.'
"I proved to him. however, on the
Srst night that sitting perfectly still
on the staircase looking the picture of
misery was decidedly funny: at least
the audience thought so so much so
that the great chief said la me after
trsnl. Vb::t were yu doing on tbe
staircase that made the audieivv
laugh so much?
"Nothing. I replied
"'All right, my boy; do Jt again,' ba

DEAD AIR IN THE LUNGS.
When You Yawn You Expel it, So Don't
Be Afraid to Yawn.
With ordinary breathing the lungs
are not completely lilled with nir. nor
are they entirely emptied every time
you exhale during natural respiration.
This leaves a quantity of dead air in
the lungs, generally nway down in the
lower lobes. This is called "residual"
air, and after It stays there awhile and
becomes foul nature casts about for
some means to make you get rid of it
The yawn is tbe thing, so naturo
makes you yawn. Tfou open your
mouth to its fullest extent, throw back
your head, strain with the back mus
cles of the Jaw, and you can then feel
your lungs move as they fore? out all
the foul air and take in fresh. In this
manner are the lungs actually venti
lated. Yawning also ventilates the air pas
sages in the mouth, throat and upper
portion of tho chest leading to the
lungs. And again yawning is really ao
aid to hearing.
The cracking sound which you so of
ten hear when giving an extra big
yawn is due to the stretching and open
ing of the eustachian tubes. These
tubes communicate between the ears
and the back of the throat. If they
are congested, which happens when
you have a bad cold in the head, people
complain of deafness.
If you feel inclined to yawn then dc
eo. It is nature's way of cleaning out
your lungs and air passages. New

Curing Wood.
Wood has contagious diseases! A
stick of wood in a lumber yard may
be sick and infect other timbers, which
later may develop the disease when
they are supporting great weights in a
new building. Some of the diseases are
so contagious that in a building they
will jump several feet across masonry
cr brick to some stick of healthy wood.
Cures have been discussed by the
American Society of Mechanical En
gineers. Most of the diseases are va
rieties of dry rot caused by fungus,
and most of the varieties of the dry rot
fungi cannot stand heat much over 100
degrees, so the most likely cure Is to
close a building up tight. If any beams
are infected, and heat it up to 120 or
140 degrees. Even this Is not always
successful, for ends of beams ore bur
ied in the outer brick walls, and the
heat may not reach them. Exchange.

Plans Model Farm.
The international colonization so
ciety which was organized to aid bona
fide settlers who are anxious to take
possession of homestead and railroad
land has conceived the idea of estab
lishing model farms in every state
to teach the settlers the mostadvan
ageous manner in which to improve
the land allotted to them. The
society is also engaged in a camp
aign to obtain a revision of the
interstate commerce law by congress
which will permit ihe railroad to
grant f ree.transportation.to settlers.
Concerning the "model farm plan it
has made thisannounmement:
"Is is the purpose of the interna
tional colonization society, when
fully organized, to ask each state
within the United States, through
their legislatures or otherwise to
provide and set apart or transfer
to the society one section of 640 acres
of tillable land for experimental
farming to be put under a high
state of cultivation by said society
to demonstrate the productive qual
ities of the soil to the best advan
tage for Ihe raising of live stock
sacli as caltlf , sheep.hogs, horses and
poultry; the raising of crain such
wheat corn and oats and also veg
etables and fruit of such varieties
as may best be adapted to the dif
ferent soil and climate where said
land may be located. Said farm3
to be under the supervision of the
said international colonization soci
