Mmq, Bonaparte learned with Intense Borrow of tho determination taken by her husband. In the main his measures and his convictions had been kept a secret, but sho confided both to Mme. 4o Remusat, and the first consul him self had told them to Joseph. On tho 20th tho decree for tho duke's Impris onment and trial was dictated by the first consul from -tho Tullerles, and In the early afternoon ho returned to Mal malson, whero nt three o'clock Josenh found him strolling In the park, con versing with Talleyrand, who limped along at his side. "I'm afraid of that cripple," was Josenhino's Kreetlnc to her brothor-ln-law. "Interrupt this long talk If you can." Tho mediation of tho elder brother was kindly and skillful, and for a tlm the first consul seemod softened, by the memories of his own and his brother'g boyhpod, among which pame and went tho figure of the Prince ot Condc. Bui other feelings prevailed; the brothers had differed about Luclcn's marriage and the question of desceut If the con sular power should become hereditary; tho old coolness finally settled down and chilled the last hppea In the tender hearted advocation foi- rinmnnnv T Josephine's tearful entreaties for mercy, her husbani' replied: "On away; you're a child; you don't understand public duties."

When Napoleon was on Ills death bed a maladroit attendant read from an English review a bitter arraignment of him as guilty of the duke's murder.

That la what Dr. Aiintole Roulftho vctcrln&rlan, saye, After the unfrtu nato accident It was decided first to kill the old fellow and sell his careas$ to some restaurateur, but Dr. Roulf sug gested that ho could take a rocf it) tho elk's temperment by performing a sur gical operation. So It was finally agreed to give the forest monarch a longer lecre of life, and tho operation waa successfully accomplished. .Since then tho elk has hceu doing nicely and giving no trouble. Dr. Roulf, tfark Commissioner Rldgoly and eight as sistants, armed with clubs, pitchforks and rope enough to hang anyone, Btart ed for tho lnclosuro wherein dwelt tho murdcrouc elk. After some tedlpua maneuvering tho old fellow was as soed, Then he was securely fastoned on each side and his head pulled down to tho ground. But this didn't put him In readiness for the operation; cmly half of the work was accomplished. Ho Ho v md J fought desperately with his fore and hind legs and no one would ventur within their reach. One by ono tho legs were encircled by the rope and then alj four were eecurcly fastened togother. Then tho operation wna easy. This Ib the flrBt operation of tho kind ever performed on an e!k, deer or any slmillar Animal, either In Europ'a or America, says Dr. Roulf. In speak ing of tho affair tho doctor said: "Qf course this elk was a bad fellow, and had killed one man before, In Chlcag6, but what made him bo extremely vill ous was his constant jealousy nnd his quarrels with the other bucks. He will now be kept by himself nnd can huvo no chanco for a fight In future." Tho doctor performed laparotomy on one qf tho bull buffaloes last week. Two of the buHs quarreled and one was badly gored In the right side. Through the Incision made by the horns, part pf the entrails protruded. When the doc tor wont to replace them ho noticed one was badly lacerated. This was quickly stltchod up and tho entrails rcplnced. After that thp wound In tho side waa sewed and dressed and tho buffalo- a now well. ' ' IN A MOT BOX. Another Time tin, r...i.,iieur Would Dtixr ttie Water. San Francisco Post: "I got Into n hot place once," remarked cx-Sherlft Healoy of Marin county. "In fact, It was tho hottest place I ever got Into In my life. When I waB running nn engine on the Narrow Gauge road I noticed a leak at the 80ft plug Jn the crown of my engine. It kept getting worse, so I decided to pluff It. That night I rnked the Are", and when the Are box cooled off a llttlo crawled In and examined the lcaft. I measured tho ho'e carefully, nnd after trying the calipers on a rat-tall file, l had concluded that It was just tho thing. I would drive it in and break it off. I put tho end of tho fllo in the hole, hit It a crack with the hammer, and In stead of sticking It went clear through. The nest minute boiling hot water waa pouring down on mo from the boiler, The Are box was only about four feet square and the soft plug was right In the center over my head, so I couldn't get close enough Into any of the corners without getting my legs scalded. I am pretty largo, and tho door of the flro box was smalt, but I had to get out or get scalded. I turned my back to the hot water, and by the time I wiggled out tho door I was the hottest man on tho coast. When I pulled oft ny clothes I took about eight square Inches of skin with them. Since then I draw tho. water hafnre i do any DlUKglng." A I.wrer rtrench nt Confidence. A queer case Is reported from Sydney, Australia.
