t Snicide in Kentucky.
A Kentucky judge holds that a
man who takes his gun , goes after
trouble and gets shot , commits sui
cide. Being a Kentuckian , how
ever , he does not say that if the
man shoots the other fellow he
commits murder.
Is There a Difference ?
On April 26th a negro was hanged
by a mob at Chrthagc , Texas , for
criminally assaulting a 4 year old
white'girl ; and on the same day at
Santa Fe in Illinois a negro was
hanged for attempted assault upon
a 10 year old white girl.
There don't appear to be much
difference between Democratic
Texas and Eepublican Illinois ,
when the crime is assault and the
criminal a negro ; and yet there are
some people who appear to think
that lynch law in the South is a 1
crime ; but a highly moral and com
mendable performance in theNorth.

NAPOLEON'S AWFUL HAND.
One Theory of the Great BIna'H Fsll-
uru : it Waterloo.
Napoleon , according to Alexander
Dumns , lost sucli battles as lie did lose
because he vrrote such : i lieuJisl : band.
His generals could not read his notes
and letters , typawrltinjj had not been
invented , and the trembling marshals ,
afraid of disobeying and striving to in
terpret the indecipherable commands ,
loitered , wandered and did not coiue up
to'the scratch , or not to the right
scratch . Tims Waterloo was lost. Can
not you fancy rouchy handing round
Napoleon's notes on that sanguinary
Sunday ? "I say. " cries the marshal to
"is that word Geiu-
his aid-dc-camp , -
bloux or V.'avre ? Is this Blucher or
BulowV So probahly Grouchy tossed
up for it , and the real words may have
been none of these at which he offered
his conjectures. Meanwhile 011 the left
and center D'Erlou and. Jerome and
Ney were equally puzzled and kept on
soading cavalry to placon where it was
very uncomfortable ( though our men
seldom managed to hit any of the cav
aliers , firing too high ) and did no sort
of good. Napoleon may never have been
apprised of these circumstances. His
old writing master was not on the
scene of action. Nobody dared to say ,
"Sire , what does this figure of a centi-
ped mean , and how are wo to construe
these two thick strokes flanked by
blots ? " The imperial temper was pep
pery ; the great man would have torn
off his interrogator's epaulets and
danced upon them. Did he not once
draw his pistol to shdot a little dog
that barked at his horse ? And when
the pistol missed fire the great soldier
threw it at the dog and did not hit him.
The little dog retreated with the hon
ors of war.
Such was the temper of Napoleon ,
and we know what llarlborough
thought of the value of an equable
temper. Nobody could ask Bonaparte
to write a legible hand , so his generals
lived a life of conjecture as to his
meaning , and Waterloo was not a suc
cess , and the cinneror never knew why.
Of all his seven or eight theories of his
failure at Waterloo , his handwriting
was not one. Yet if this explanation
had occurred to him Napoleon would
certainly have blamed his pens , ink
and paper. Those of Nelson at Copen
hagen were very bad. "If your guns
are no better than your pens/ ' said a
Danish officer who came in under a
flag of truce before the fight and was
asked to put a message into writing ,
"you had better retire. " Andrew Lang
in Longman's Magazine.
SICKROOM PHILOSOPHY.
Never confine a patient to ono room
if you can obtain the use of two.
Never play the piano to a sick person
if you can play 011 strings or sing.
Never stand and fidget when a. sick
person is talking to you. Sit down.
Never complain that you cannot get
a feeding cup if there is a teapot to he
had instead.
Never read fast to a sick person.
The way to make a story seem short
is to tell it slowly ;
Never judge the condition of your' '
patient from his appearance during a
conversation. See how he looks an
hour afterward.
Never put-a hot water bottle next to
the skin. Its efficiency and the pa
tient's safety are both enhanced by
surrounding the bottle with llannel.
Never allow the patient to talu the
temperature himself. Many patients
are more knowing than nurses where
there is a question of temperature.
Hot CroK * Zuns.
In its early days , when , it is to be
hoped , it was more toothsome than it
is LOW , the hot cross bun played some
part in converting the people of tlicse
islands to Christianity. Pagan EngKiiul
was in the habit of eating cakes ia
honor of the goddess cf spring , and
Christian missionaries foiidthat
thorgh they could jlt"r tl'e views of
the people in refeivi.ce to religious
matters they could not induce them to
withhold from the consumption of con
fectionery. So they put tlie sun of the
cross upon the bun of the Saoa era
and launched it upon missionary enter
prise' which has extended through the
intervening centuries and survived till
novr. Loi"lx * * T- :
