NAPOLEON lll.’S COUNCIL.
A Hmiernqi Fainting That Uaa Had
. an Amiilng History.
A certain, picture painted during
tho laat years of the second French
empire by the artist Schenck, has
lately been bought by an American
gentleman for a considerable sum.
This picture was shown at the Salon.
It represented simply a lot of donkeys
deliberating gravely around a table
covered with preen cloth. It was a
very olever and amusing picture, and
took the public fancy. The Princess
Mathilde, sister-in-law of the emper
or .was pleased with it and had
made arrangements to buy it, when
It w*b noised about that the painting
was intended to satirize the privy
council of the emperor. This
stepped the sale of it at once,
either to the princess or to
any other of the rich people
of the time who were in sym
pathy with the court. After this the
picture went from pillar to post, and
finally brought up at a sale exhibition
in Munich. Here it was seen by the
empress of Austria, who was so much
pleased with it that she began
negotiations for its purchase. At
this stage of the proceedings, how
ever, it was whispered to the empress
that the canvas represented the royal
eouncil of Bavaria. “In that case,”
said the empress, “I shall not buy it;
I do not want any political pictures.”
It is not known how many more royal
councils the painting of the donkeys
was taken to represent; but after
more than twenty-five years of vicis
situdes it has come to America under
the name of “Napoleon Ill’s Privy
Council”
THE IDEAL lARM.
■VrailnniH, u Wail as Beauty, an
Important Bnt Bare Feature.
“I find great difficulty in getting a
model with good arms,” said a well
known sculptor recently. “It is as
tonishing how few women there are
with arms that conform to the stand
ard. A perfect arm, measured from
the wrist joint to the armpit, should
be twice the length of the head. The
upper part of the arm should be large,
full and well rounded. There should
be a dimple at the elbow. The fore
arm must not be too flat, not nearly
so flat as a man’s, for instance.
“From a well-molded shoulder the
whole arm should taper in long,
graceful curves to a well-rounded
wrist. It is better to have an arm
that harmonizes, even if the parts do
not conform to the generally ac
cepted lines. For instance, a full,
round upper arm which is joined to a
fiat or thin arm has a very bad effect.
Perhaps it is only a little worse, how
ever, than a graceful, well-molded
forearm tacked to a thin, scrawny
upper arm.
“Correctness of form is not the only
thing necessary for a good arm. The
owner must possess the power of ex
pression with her arms. 'American
women are deficient in this as a rule.
Those nationalities which show the
most expression in their arms are the
Spahish, French and Italians. The
warmest admirer of Sarah Bernhardt
would not claim that she had beauti
ful arms, yet no one can say that the
divine Sarah ever appears ungainly in
consequence. Much more lies in the
faculty of arm expression than is gen
erally supposed.”

HOW A WATCH IS BFPECtBOw
la tom Cities It Bnm Ahttd an« la
Other* It tan.
“It is chrlous to notice the effect of
oert&in atmospheres upon timepieces
of a certain kind,” said A. G. Graham
of Chicago. “I have a watch of the
old-fashioned typo, which I always
carry with me wherever I go; first,
because it's a curiosity, and secondly,
because it is a gift from a muoh be
loved friend. Well, thiB watch has a
habit of running ahead of time. In
my own city, or in St. Louis, for ex
ample, it gains five minutes in every
twenty-four hours. This is notice
able, because it means nearly two
hours a month. I have a way of let
ting it run for a length of time, say
six months, so that it regulates itself
praotically in that time. It manages
to make abont twelve hours, and
when a timepiece is that much ahead
of, or behind, time it is just as
good as if it were perfeot. A short
while ago I was compelled to visit
Philadelphia, from which city I am
just returning. During my stay there
the watch lost five minutes a day, and
the loss was as regular as the gain
was in Chicago or in your city. I
have a theory npon the subject. I be
lieve that the movements of a man
have more or less effect upon a
watch. Now, almost every man read
ily falls into the ways and gait of his
fellows. In Chicago or in St. Louis
every man likes to be five minutes
ahead of time. In Philadelphia
everyone says, “Well,- there's no
hurry: five minutes behind time will
make no difference,’ and from this
follows that slow, easy gait which is
the most striking characteristic of the
Quaker city. It would seem the
watches keep time in the same fash
ion, as if in sympathy with their
owners. So you Bee there is pretty
good reason for the allegation with
regard to Philadelphia's proverbial
slowness.”
JAPANESE PATRIOTISM.
Homely Incident Showing on Old Wo*
man's Love for Her Country.
A homely incident is related in one
of the Japanese journals which is
not without a touch of pathos.
Kuriso is the name of one of the
lesser stations on the northern route,
the nearest village of any importance
being known as Higashi Nasu-no
mura, a little place of less than 500
inhabitants. As many trains have
lately been bringing soldiers down
from the northern provinces, and as
these trains have invariably to stop a
while at Kuriso, the people of the
above-named village thought this an
excellent opportunity to turn an hon
est penny by selling articles of food,
tobacco, etc., to the soldiers en route.
There was one old woman, how
ever, who had a bigger conception of
her duty and what was owing to the
defenders of her country than any of
her fellow villagers. Parting with
everything she could spare she spent
all the result in buying a large quan
tity of chestnuts. These were then
made into that kind of cake known
as kachikuri This done, the old
woman carried the cakes to the trains
whenever they bore soldiers south
ward and presented each man with
some of the sweets she had sacrificed
so much to procure.
She accompanied each little gift
with a bow and the wish.“Conquer in
battle and come back to Japan .vic
torious and nnwounded.” The sol
diers were much touched by her sim
ple words and artless demeanor and
wonld have given her money, but she
positively refused to receive anything
in return for the loyal offerings.
A Tongue Twister.
Among the literary curiosities of
which Boston is justly the proud pos
sessor is the following jawbreaker,
framed and hung in the old South
church in that city: “Wutappesittuk
qussunnookwehtunquoh.” This word,
so far as known, has never been pro
nounced by a white man, but occurs
in Eliot’s Indian bible, and is found
in Mark’s gospel, first chapter and
fortieth verse, and according to that
means “kneeling down to Him.” If
the brave red man had thrown such
chunks of wisdom at the forefathers
instead of dull arrow heads and way
side stones, probably American his
tory wonld have been written in a
different key.
Stevenson's Kovels Are Mescaline.
It is a noteworthy fact that the late
Robert Louis Stevenson’s stories are
almost entirely lacking in the femi
nine element Women plays only the
most insignificant part in his plots;
they are the merest supernumeraries
on his stage, and it is one of the
many striking proofs of his genius
that he is able both to create and sus
tain an intense interest without the
aid of a heroine, an adjunct usually
regarded as indispensable in fiction.
In “Prince Otto" Stephenson made
his almost sole attempt to portray
the complex character of a woman,
bat without marked success.
Live Snake In Solid Stone.
A live snake in a cavity in a solid,
stratified stone is an oddity reported
to have been found by a railroad con
struction gang in charge of Matt Mc
Laughlin of Beaver halls, Pa. The
snake was of some unknown striped
variety, about ten inches in length,
and unusually lively and vicious.
The geologist who examined the egg
shaped cavity in which this particular
ophidian was found, and who declares
that the cavity had no possible com
munication with the outside world,
assigns it to a period which would
make the snake at least 10,000 years
old. __

• A NOVttL PHILANTHROPY.
Th* Log1 Q*bln Colltga SottlmMI to
to* HotaUlu of North Carolina.
The latest movement in feminine
philanthropy Is the log- cabin col
lege settlement proposed for ereo
tion In the mountains of North Caro
lina, not very far from the famous
Vanderbilt eastle. Miss Chester, a
sister of the organ master of St.
George's church, and who spends the
greater part of evory year in the
North Carolina wilds, has offered her
idea for development among the
earnest young women in New York
who would be interested in the men
tal and moral advancement of their
mountain sisters. She has found
them, she says, as needy In spiritual
and intellectual elevation as the wo
men of the slums. Education and the
refining influences have not yet pen
etrated to those barren but beautiful
regions, where ignorance unhappily
does not produce the bliss of sim
plicity or a wholesome, robust,
and pastoral existence. Therefore
the necessity of carrying some light
to the women of the isolated uplands.
The plan is to build a flue, large
log cabin, fill it with good books,
pictures, and the suggestion of what
the mountaineer’s wife and daughter
could do in the way of softening and
refining even her crude surroundings.
The gospel of teaching through
friendly Intercourse is to be closely
adhered to as in the slums, with a
broader soope for the best sort of phil
anthropic work than has yet been
found anywhere in this country.
The mountain women are, first of all,
Americans; they are not unintelli
gent, they have strong and correot
principles of.duty, and if rightly ap
proached, Miss Chester and those
who share the log cabin have
every prospect of finding more rapid
response to their improving sugges
tions than the foreign-bred class in
the city ever gave.
compressed wood.
A Practical and Inexpensive Substitute
for Certain Sorts of Hard Wood.
The advance in the price of some of
the hard woods required in various
special branches of trade has directed
attention to the possibility of produc
ing some less expensive material as a
substitute, and in one branch of trade
this has been carried out with very
successful results. For the manu
facture of loom shuttles boxwood has
hitherto been very largely used, but
the price of this kind of wood has be
come almost prohibitive, and it has
been found that by compression of
cheaper classes of timber—teak being
about the most suitable for this pur
pose—a substitute meeting all the re
quirements can be obtained. For
carrying out this purpose a
Manchester firm has just com
pleted a powerful hydraulic
press to be used in compressing
timber for loom shuttles. The press
consists of a strong cast iron top and
bottom, with four steel columns and
a steel cylinder, with a large ram. In
the center of this ram is fitted a sim
ilar one, with a rectangular head, fit
ting into a die which is placed on the
top of the large ram. The timber is
put into this die, and a pressure of
fourteen tons per square inch is ap
plied. The pressure is then relieved,
and the large ram descends. The top
pressure block, which fits the die, is
then removed, and the small ram,
rising, pushes the timber out at the
top of the die. The timber so treated:
is made very dense and uniform, and
so close grained that it is capable oC
taking a very high finish. For the
manufacture of shuttles it has been
found as good as boxwood, and thes»e
is no doubt it will be applied to otiME
branches of industry where expetHi
sive hard woods have to be used.
Hop Bad!.
In the good old colony times, and
even later, the hop pillow was pre
scribed for sleeplessness, and now it
is a hop bed which is to cure insom
nia, to use the word exhumed from
Plantus to serve the needs of pathol
ogy. The hop bed is about as com
fortable as the corn-husk mattress of
the country farm-house, but it is
fondly supposed to bring slumber.
Hops and skips are natural compan
ions, so it may be proper to say here
that a London doctor introduced skip
1 ping as a form of exercise especially
adapted to professional women who
have not much time. Imagine a com
pany of teachers, actresses, female
doctors, artists, with a stray female
minister, perhaps, skipping merrily
through a public street! Cleopatra’s
forty paces of hopping would be a
trifle by comparison.
A Chanco for larantora.
“I dare say,” remarked Mr. Bill
tops. “that sometime somebody will
make a fortune by inventing1 some
thing that will enable us to get a
straight part in our hair the first
time. Everybody knows that often
though we try and try again the part
still looks more like a zigzag streak
of lightning than a straight part, and
we lose much time in this way, and
sometimes we lose our temper. What
a blessing the hair parter will ,be, a
simple and inexpensive contrivance
that will need to be passed over the
head but once, giving a straight part
every time.”
A Sadden Rise la Prices.
Maurice Thompson tells of a certain
buyer of sheep who went into the
mountains of Eastern Kentucky,
where the following dramatic inci
dent took place between him and a
grim mountaineer who had one ewe
for sale: Buyer—That ewe is worth
