It ia «r«aitet-<rf Bistory-that at
the b«ttt«t*Afr*AipSr»]li»H*g id
1809 Archduke Charles of Austria,
considered by many one of the
greatest soldiers of his day, inflict
ed upon Napoleon the first serious
defeat'that he had ever suffered.
Not so well known is the story of an
earlier battle between these two sol
diers
One day in 1778 the Archduke
Charles and his brother Ferdinand,
aged seven and nine respectively,
were playing with a box of wooden
soldiers in an anteroom of the
grand ducal palace at Florence. It
happened that a gentleman, accom
panied by his little son, called to
pay his respects to the Grand Duke
of Tuscany, the father of the two
brothers. After waiting for some
minutes in the anteroom the stran
ger was summoned to the grand
duke’s study.
The boy whom he left waiting in
the room was a sallow, aggressive
child, with fine gray eyes and a pre
maturely serious expression. In his
father’s absence he amused himself
by joining the two small archdukes
in their mimic warfare on the car
pet. Gradually, to their displeasure,
he began to get the better of them.
His toy cannon, which he worked
vigorously, mowed down their sol
diers as fast as they could set them
up. At last, when a quarrel was
imminent and the little archdukes
were on the point of pummeling
their adversary, they were restrain
ed by the return of his father, ac
companied by the kindly grand
duke.
“Eh, but your youngster is be-,
ginning well, M. de Bonaparte,” he
said, laughing. “I see he has been
outmancuvering my sons while, we
have been talking. Well, good luck
to himl I trust,you will have no
trouble in getting him into the es
tablishment at Brienne.”
It wras inaeea young ixapuieuu
who, with the wooden soldiers and
a toy cannon, had given evidence of
the great military genius within
him. M. '’e Bonaparte had called
with his son to ask for the grand
duke’s personal recommendation,
which he hoped would be of service
to him in getting his son admitted
to the military school at Brienne.—
From “Reminiscences of a Diplo
mat’s Wife,” by Mrs. Hugh Fraser.

Animal Claanlinesa.
A zoologist thus writes upon a
point in which he claims that the
lower animals set an example to
many men:
“It has taken human beings
many hundreds of years to acquire
habits of neatness and clennliness,
whereas the animals have always
possessed them. From the time
when they first made their appear
ance on earth animals have washed
and combed and brushed them
selves with tongue, claws and tail.
Many of them grow wretched and
languish if deprived of any oppor
tunity of taking a cold bath. As
for the apes, they arc such sticklers
for cleanliness that they expel any
member of the tribe who shows a
disposition to shirk his duties in
this respect. Even the insects
show a scrupulous regard for neat
ness, as anybody who has watched a
fly brushing itself with its feet, for
instance, will readily admit.”
Modest, Happy Writer.
After years of successful writ
ing, with her stories translated into
French and German, Maria Edge
worth said to a would be biogra
pher, according to a sketch in the
Lamp, that she had nothing to
tell. Her life had always been
peaceful, secluded, domestic and
happy. Sl.c was fully satisfied with
the experiences that had come to
her. She said, “Imaginative as I
am thought to be, I have always
found the pleasures I have expect
ed would be great have actually
been greater in the enjoyment than
in the anticipation.” The magazine
asks. “Is not that statement in it
self a most remarkable life his
tory ?”

“Waiter,” said the hungry man,
“T want you to bring me a thick
porterhouse steak with mush
rooms”—
“I’s sorry, boss,” replied Mr. Eras
tus Pinkley, “but you’ll have to
take jes’ plain steak.”
“Why?”
“ ’Structions f’um de boss. When
de other gues’es sees an order like
dat cornin’ into de room dey’s liable
to git so jealous dey all loses deir
appetites.”—Washington Star.

“Miss Doyle,” said the six-year
old to the visitor who was waiting
for mamma, “will you take one of

“Mv shoes?” repeated Miss Doyle
in amazement. “Why. Johnnie?”
“Why. 1 heard mamma say you
