(MENS 1N WARTIMES
EVENTS WHICH PORTENDED GOOD
OR EVIL FORTUNE IN BATTLE.
Ivarriorm with wit who Parried
the Unlucky Signx-IncidentWhic
Attended Napoleon at the invasion
of Russia and at Waterloo.
In the uncertain volcanic atmosphere
which envelops nations engaged in war
every throb of the political ground is
acutely felt, every tremor in the air
is caught by the ear instantly, and it
is thought to prophesy an issue. The
air of a troubled state soon becoics
thick with signs and prognostics; ev
erybody becomes an augur, a sooth
sayer, an interpreter of dreams; every
event is hailed as a bright or a black
omen.
However, some great warriors have
been gifted with the ready wit which
has enabled them to, pass off what
might reasonab!y be supposed to be an
unlucky portent as an auspicious sign.
For example, Leotychides II. of Sparta
was told by his augurs that his pro
jected expedition would fall because a
viper had got entangled in the handle
of the city key. "Not so," he replied.
"The key caught the viper." Then ev
ery schoolboy knows the story how
William the Conqueror fell to the
ground on landing at Pevensey and
how this was turned to a. lucky omen
either by William himself or by a sailor
crying out that he took "seisin" of the
kingdom with both hands. Freemantle
thinks that it is probably an adaptation
of the story of Caesar's landing In Afri
ca, when, having stumbled, be, with
admirable presence of mind, exclaim
ed, "Thus I take possession of thee,
o Africa!" When William was arming
for the battle of Hastings his squire
by accident handed him the back piece
before the breastplate. an evil omen
signifying flight, but the duke again
turned the mishap to cheerful account
"Yes, the last shall be frst," he said
that is, the duke shall be king.
Others, however, there have been
who have met the evil omen halfway,
so to speak, by throwing up the sponge
as soon as it occurred. On the morn
of the sanguinary battle of Shrews
bury, Hotspur called for his favorite
sword, and on being told that it had
been left behind at the village where
he had spent the previous night he
turned pale and said, "Then has my
plow reached its last furrow." Before
many hours had elapsed the power of
the Percies was shattered forever, and
their great captain was a corpse. At
the hoisting of the royal standard at
Nottingham in the month of August,
1642, some delay took place. It was
with difficulty the standard could be
fixed at the place selected, the ground
being solid rock. Scarcely had this ob
ject been accomplished by means of
digging into the firm stone with the
daggers and halberd points of the sol
diers when a tierce gust of wind,
sweeping with a wild moan across the
face of the hill. laid prostrate the em
blem of sovereignty. Many persons
regarded this accident as a presage of
evil, and the lowering sky of evening
sympathized with the general melan
choly that lay on men's spirits as, any
further attempt being 'tbandoned, the
standard w'as borne back into the cas
tie in silence.
Napoleon's invasion of Russia was
inaugurated with a curious personal
mishar, followed by real as wvell as
metaphorical gathering clouds. On
June 23, 1812, the emperor arrived at
the Niemen, the extreme frontier be
tween Russian and Prussia. As he
appeared on the banks of the river at
2 o'clock in the morning his horse sud
denly stumbled and threw him. A
voice cried out: "This is a bad augury.
If this occurred to a Roman general
be would turn back." It is not known
whether It was the emperor himself or
one of his suit, who spoke the words.
"The next day,'' says an eyewitness,
"sarcely had the emperor crossed the
river than a dull noise agitated the air.
The light afterward became obscured,
the wind rose and the sin~ater rolling
of thunder was heard. The heavens
had a menacing aspect, and the bare,
shelterless earth presented an appear
ance that filled us with sadness. Some
of those who but a short time before
were inspired with enthusiasm were
now shaken with fear, as if they re
gared these circumstances as of evil
omen. They believed .that these fiery
clouds, which were gathered together
over our beads, were forbidding our en
trance into Russia." At any rate, those
wise after the event declared that they
had portended the burning of Moscow,
with its appalling consequences to the
grand army. Then on the morn of
Waterloc tne emperor met with yet an
other ominous mishap. -As Gudin, his
page, was helping him into the saddle,
he lifted the imperial elbow too sud
denly, and Napoleon pitched over on
the offside, nearly coming to the
ground.
A vast signiticance was attached in
the old days to mere numbers, and an
innate potency was supposed to be in
herent with each of them. In this re
spect there appears to have been an
evil destiny influencing the last Impe
rial ruler of France when he preferred
to designate himself Napoleon III. in
stead of calling himself that which he
really was, Napoleon II. The number
three became his fatal number and in
dicated his destiny. He wvas engaged
In three Indiscreet wars-the Italian,
the Mexican and the Prussian. Three
times was he a banished man, three
times was he made a prisoner and
three times was he disarmed at the head
of his military forces-namely, first, in
the ditch at Strassburg; second, in the
farcical bungle at Boulogne, and, third,
in the debacle of Sedan. Nevertheless
the "man of destiny" could do a grace
ful thing to avert an ill omen. Captain
Jean Coeurpreux in a ball given at the
Tuilerles just after the declaration of
war against Prussia tripped and fell in
the dance. The air was charged with
electricity, at. what at another time
would have been regarded as a laugh
able mishap now created consternation.
But Napoleon held out his hand to help
him up, saying as he did so: "Monsieur
le Commandant, this is the second time
I have seen you fall. The first time
was by my side in the field of Magen
ta." Then, turning to the lady, he add
ed, "Henceforth Captain Coeurpreux
is commandant of my guides."
At Walderfeld, in Germany, there
formerly grew and may still be extant
a wonderful pear tree. When things
were prosperous it blossomed and bore
fruit, and when they declinead its leaves
became blanched, and no fruit war
formed. in 1806, when Napoleon forced
the feeble Francis II. to sacrifice his
title of German emperor and to con
tent himself with that of Francis I. of
Austria, this mysterious tree yielded
neither leaves nor fruit. in 184$. when
German unity essayed to reconstitute
itself at Fr'ankfort, it blossomed forth
once mgore, but only to languish again
when the political Utopia melted away.
In 1870 it celebrated the glorious
achievement of the army by yielding a
most abhunAt crp .ra

signing of the treaty of San Stefano
and before the assembli! of the Ber

remark:1 le instance of the natural phe
nomenon known as the "Fata Morga
na." One day, looking in the direction
of the Black sea, there appeared in the
sky the counterfeit of fortifications
which an officer who knew the place at
once pronounced with certainty to be
those of Sevastopol. As this fortress
was about 380 miles &s-tant it was an
extraordinary case of refraction. The
soldiers were confirmed in their view
that It was an unlucky portent, for'
shortly afterward the British fleet en

THE FIRST LAMPS.
Seashells, Perhaps, With Rushes
Burning In Animal Fat.
"This world groped until the thir
teenth century without discovering
even the tallow candle," says a writer.
"The expression. 'Mankind was plung
ed in darkness during the early ages,'
is true in every sense. It was perhaps
the accidental burning of a bit of fat
of some slain animal that suggested its
use as a luminant, while the hollow
shell from the sea, a concave rock or a
mold of sun baked clay held the fat,
which was 1urned by placing a rush in
the fat. with the lighted end projecting
over the edge of the rude dish. Step
by step the lamp was fashioned Into a
thing of beauty. Admirable specimens
of lamps in terra cotta, in stone, in
brass and in bronze have been found
on sites of Hebrew cities and in the
temples of Hindustan. From the
tombs of Egypt, from the tumuli of
Assyria and ancient lettered Babylon,
from the opened graves of Chaldean
sages, came examples of household
lamps. revealing a general use many
centuries before the Christian era.
"So. from the fat of slain animals,
the resinous products of the forest
trees and the wax of the wild bee
came those lights which gleamed upon
fair woman and brave men at Bel
shazzar's feasts. From Rome the oil
lamp passed successively into Ger
many, Gaul and Britain. In these
countries torches, rushes dipped in
grease and a very odorous fish oil
were the methods of artificial lighting
until the Roman conquest. The rush
light of that day consisted of a notch.
ed wooden stick set to a wooden base.
Stalks-of the rush were peeled to the
pith, save for one strand of husk, and
passed through hot grease. Sometimes
three or more were twisted together
and when cold were placed in a notch
of the standard, to be pushed up when
the fire neared the wood.
"These rushlights emitted a strong
flame and a similar odor. You may
make one of these and enjoy for an
hour the ancient light of Britain and
that which to this day dispels the
gloom of night in remote Irish cabins.
The candle of the common people was
the rushlight of our ancestors. It
burned where candles made from wax
were too dear and before Chevreul and
others found a way to refine a cheap
andle gr-ease from the fat of animals."

ALPINE GLACIERS.
Attributes of Ice That Render Their
Formation Possible.
As soon as men were able to walk on
a glacier from one end to the other
they began to look and search and re
member and compare, and finally they
discovered the secret of the thing. In
"A Pleasure Book of Grindelwald" Mr.
Daniel P. Rhodes describes this secret:
They knew at the outset that fee is a
very remarkable substance, which be
haves in a manner peculiar to itself,
and they next learned that to three of
the properties of ice is due the phe
nomenon of glaciers.
First, its plasticity permits of its
flowing downward under sufficient
pressure in the direction of the least
resistance. Glaciers may therefore ac
commodate themselves to the most tor
tuous valleys.
Another attribute of ice in respect of
which it is singular among viscous bod
les is its inability to yield much to ten
sion; hence when there is a strain up
on it, owing to variations in the direc
tion or in the rate of progress of a gla
cier, it Is rent into great fissures called
crevasses.
These crevasses do not, as is some
times asserted, always penetrate to
the bottom'of the glacier, but are of
different depths and shapes. Usually
these crevasses extend in the direction
of the width of the glacier, but on a
very steep incline they are often inter
sected by longitudinal crevasses, and
in this manner are formed tall blocks
of ice, which are soon worn by the
weather into the beautiful pinnacles
seen in the Ice falls of most large gla
ciers.
It Is a third attribute of ice which
enables a glacier to maintain itself a
compact mass in spite of all this fric
tion. Where two pieces of ice near the
melting point are brought into contact
they freeze together so perfectly as to
obliterate all traces of their original
surfaces. To this property of ice,
which Mr. Tyndall calls regelation, is
due not only the closing up of cre
vasses, but also the very beginnings of
the glaciers themselves. It happens
this way:
In the higher regions of the Alps
more snow falls in winter than is melt
ed in summer, and a constant rear
rangement of both the old snow and
the new is being caused winter and
summer by the alternation between
heat and cold which occurs in clear
weather between each day and night.
The fresh dry snow is melted by the
sun and afterward frozen again In
granules of ice.
With the frequent repetition of this
process the particles become imper-.
fectly fused together, forming that pe
culiar crust called neve. which con
stantly increases in depth until the
lower part of it, according to the prin
ciple of regelation, is so compressed by
the weight of the mass above it as to
become a fairly compact body of ice
that seeks to escape by the most con
venient channel. This is the beginning
of the glacier.
Great Mlen ot Lowly Birth.
Most of the great men of history
were of lowly birth. Look over the list
and see how little the "bornin'" had to
do with results and achievements.
Lord Wolsey was the son of a butcher,
Columbus the son of a weaver, Horace
the son of a manumitted slave, Sir
Richard Arkwright the son of a barber,
Shakespeare the son of a wood stapler,
Watt the son of a blockmaker, Virgil
the son of a porter, Stephenson the son
of a fireman at a colliery, Burns the
son of a plowman, Franklin the son of
a tallow chandler, Oliver Cromwell the
son of a brewer. .Esop was a slave,
Beaconsfield was a lawyer's clerk,
Thomas Paine a staymaker, De Foe a
hosier, son of a butcher; Demosthenes
the son of a cutler. Ben Jonson was a
bricklayer, Bunyan a traveling tinker,
Dickens a reporter and son of a re
porter. Edmund Kean was the son of
a stage carpenter. Cervantes was a
common soldier. Homer was a farm
er's son and is said to have begged his
bread. The list might be extended
through columns.--New York Press.
A True Bear Story.
An angry black bear, through an er
ror in judgment, attacked a freight lo
comotive on a lonely stretch of railway
in Austria-Hungary and came off sec
ond best. A switchman had walked
up the track to a siding, where he had
set a swvitch to allow a freight train to
make way for the express. It was
night, and he carried a lantern. See
ing a dark, formless mass lying across
the rails he went to investigate. The
dark, formless mass suddenly resolved
itself into a big she bear and three
cubs. The switchman was surprised.
In his fright he foolishly dropped his
lantern and started to run. The bears
followed. The old mother bear was
rapidly outfooting the switchman when
the freight train came along, its head
light gleaming along the rails. Even
this did not deter the enraged animai.
She attacked the engine and was killed.
The cubs escaped.
Farragut and Schley.
During the civil war Captain Schley,
then In command of the Monongahela,
was sent up to bombard one of the
works at Port Hudson. While firing
on the fort signals were hoisted on the
lagship to recall him, but he could not
read them and kept on firing until the
fort was silenced. When he reported
on board the flagship Farragut said
sternly, "Captain, you begin early 1n
life to disobey orders." And when
Schley tried to explain about the sig
nals that were seen, but could not be
read, the admiral said he "wanted none
of this Nelson business in his squad
ron about not seeing signals." After
ward, however, when in the cabin, the
admiral said to him, "Do it again
whenever in your judgment it Is neces
sary to carry out your conception of
duty."
Numerous and Worthless.
Everything is in the name when it
comes to Witch Hazel Salve. E. C. De
Witt & Co., of Chicago. discovered
some years ago how to make a salve
from Witch Hazel that is a specific for
piles. For blind, bleeding, itching and
protruding piles, Eczema, cuts, burns,
bruises and all skin diseases DeWitt's
Salve has no equal. This has given
rise to numerouss worthless counter
feits. Ash for DeWitt's-the genuine.

Kennedy's ILaxative Honey and Tar
THE ROBIN
ie Is an Adaptive Bird, but He
Doesn't Mix Mortar.
The robin is a very adaptive bird cer
tainly. It adjusts itself readily to new
conditions, but it falls far short of the
intelligence that is often ascribed to it.
Thus there are persons who seem to
believe that when mud is scarce the
robin will bring water in its beak to
the dust of the road and so make the
mortar that it needs. This notion is, of
course, absurd. low could the robin
know that water and dust will make
mud? This knowledge is the result of
reflection and experiment and Is not
within the reach of an animal. More
than that, if the robin culd find the
water he could certainly find the mud
somewhere. I have known them to use
a substitute for mud furnished by the
cows.
Another equally absurd claim for the
robin comes from a correspondent A
robin had her nest In a tree under his
chamber window in such a position
that he could see all that happened in
the nest. He says that when the young
robins were nearly grown he saw the
mother bird take them, one by one, by
the nape of the neck and hold them out
over the rim of the nest to teach them
to use their wings! I suppose "our
modern school of nature study" would
accept this statement without question.
It Is such preposterous natural history
as this that furnishes the stock In trade
of this "school." Some persons deceive
themselves in what they think they
see, and not a few, I am convinced, are
deliberate falsifiers.-John Burrougbs
