napoleon sad the Plough. ".' 'V
A certain incident connected with the
great Napoleon while he was in exile
at Elba is commemorated in the is-
land, to this hour, by an inscription at-
A man nsméa diacssi vies ploughing
when the famous exile came along one
day, and expressed an interest in his
work. Napoleon even took the
ploughshare out of the man's hand,
and attempted to guide it himself. But
the oxen refused to obey him, over-
turned tho plough, and spoiled the fur-
row.
The inscription runs thus:—
“Napoleon the Great, passing by this
place in MDCCCXIV,
neighboring field a ploughshare from
the hands of a peasap’t', and himself
tried to plough, but the oxen, rebellious
to those bands which yet had guided
Europe, headlong fled from the fun
row."
Sell Mode Men of Other Days.
The self-made man ls by no means
solely the product of modern times.
Columbus was a weaver, Franklin was
a journeyman printer, Pope Slxtus V.
Was employed in his young days in
keeping swine, Robert Burns was a
ploughman, Aesop was a. slave, Home:
was a beggar, Daniel» Defoe was aps
prenticed to a. hosier, Demosthoncl
was the son of a cutlcr, while Virgil
was a‘b‘akér’s son.‘ Ben Jonson was
:a bricklayer, Cervantes was a. common
soldier, ‘Canova’s father was a stone-
cutter, Captain Cook commenced life
as a. cabin boy, Haydn, the musician,
was the son of a poor wheelwright,
Pizarro, instead of going to school,
was sent to'keep hogs. Klrke White's
father was a butcher, and Keat’s fath-
er kept a livery stable.
She " on. ‘1'me-
"Mary," said Mr. Thomas when a sl-
lence fraught with unpleasant mean-
ing, had followed his first altercation
with'his young wife." _ '
“Yes?” said Mary; interrogatlvoly.
“When a man and his wife have had
a—a difference,” said Mr. Thomas,
with a judicial air, “and each consid-
ers the other at fault, which of the
two do you think should make the
first advance toward reconciliation?”
“The wiser of the two," said Mrs.
Thomas, promptly, "and so, my dear,
I'll say at once that I am very sorry.”
It occurred to Mr. Thomas that it
might have been as well for him to
make the first advance, after all, but
he thoughtfully refrained from saying
so.
For Co's! Summer Days.
A handy little garment for» cool sum-
mer days or evenings is made of cadet
blue covert cloth lined with plaid silk.
The pointed yoke in of embroidered
cloth and is made with a rolling col.
lar.
Dainty wraps of every variety are
shown for the summer. Some of them
are little more than two or three
shaped ruffles, trimmed with boulllones
and dainty ruchings, while others are
made on the shawl pattern, long in
back and short in front and these form
handsome garments.
War Tax on Club Women.
The question of imposing a war tax
on the club-women of the country is
one that has been discussed with great
interest in club circles. Undoubtedly
the result of such a. tax would be a
very important sum, as the number of
club-women in the United States is
close to if not over half a million.
While waiting to be taxed, however,
the club-women of the country both
in and out of patriotic societies are
showing great zeal in their services in
behalf of the country’s defenders.
strawberry Salad.
Strawberry salad requires very large,
firm luscious berries. These are piled
six or eight of them in a. lettuce cup,
made from two leaves taken from the
heart of the head, and are either
sprinkled lightly with sugar or with a
few drops of lemon-juice. before a tea-
spoonful of mayonnaise is put on them.
