AN EMPRESS IN A TEMPER.
Eugenie’s Dramatic Descent Upon the
Cabinet Council.
In Frederic Loliee s “Women of
the Second Empire” the author
tells a sensational story of Empress
Eugenie of France. It concerns a
pressing political matter, one of
church and state. Because the em
press felt strongly on it the emperor
feared lest she should endeavor to
influence the deliberations of the
cabiuet council by appearing in per
son. Accordingly be gave orders
that the meeting should be kept
secret from her. M. Loliee says:
“But the matter so carefully con
cealed was already known to her,
and, acting on the first impulse of
her fiery Spanish temperament,
boiling over with anger, she flew
rather than walked to the council
chamber. A sentry had been placed
at the door with orders to allow no
one to pass. Lie opposed the en
trance of the impetuous sovereigp.
“i wish to enter. Stand back!’
she cried angrily. Finding himself
in a horrible quandary hetween the
orders he had received and his fear
of hurting his empress, the guards
man, between his gallantry to her
sex and his fidelity to the word of
command, fell at the feet of Eu
genie with his bayonet laid across
the doorway.
“ ‘lour majesty, he said, no one
may pass, by order of the emperor.’
“‘We shall see,' replied Eugenie,
anil without more ado she leaped
over the sentry’s bayonet, hurst
open the door and entered the coun
cil chamber with the violence of a
whirlwind. The emperor was pre
siding, grave and imperturbable, he
i alone having his head covered in
| the presence of his respectful and
attentive ministers.
“But the sovereign failed to im
pose respect on his angry wife, who
saw in him only the man and the
' husband. Going straight up to him.
with a backhanded blow she knoek
! ed off his hat, then, without a word,
i withdrew as she had entered, leav
! ing the ministers dumb with sur
j prise and consternation.”
The Barren Fig Tree.
! This plant starts from a seed
j which takes root on the bole of a
I paltn tree and puts out two pallid
leaves. The growth of the leaves
is slow. The palm tree furnishes all
i their nourishment, for the plant is
a parasite. After some time four
I thin, almost invisible, roots appear,
i lengthen negligently and descend to
the ground. When they have grown
long enough they drive their ends
1 into the earth. The barren fig tree
' is no longer a parasite. It stands on
its own ground. Then suddenly the
sickly plant acquires prodigious
;strength. It grows broad and long,
[tutting out branches which shake
like greedy hands. It usurps the
ground and climbs toward the sky.
It drives down its roots and reaches
wide its branches. The palm tree
that gave it life is choked by it.
The barren fig tree is a poisoner
and a strangler. It rears its head
above the dead body of its victim.
This poisonous vegetable has
nothing in common with the fig.—
i Harper’s Weekly.
She Understood.
A young man who had a strong
liking for poetry, but a rather medi
ocre talent for writing it, deluded
himself into the belief that the
world was determined to keep him
| down. He continued writing for
| vears, confident that he would win
fame in. the end. Once in eonver
[sation with a clever girl he started
in on his pet theme.
“Like the rest of the world.” he
said, “you don’t understand me.
But I can afford to laugh at present
neglect, for I’m writing for pos
terity.”
“Oh, I understand you now,” re
plied the girl. “So that’s the reason
your poems are not published dur
ing your lifetime!”—Denver Times.
Why a Cat's Eyes Shine In the Dark.
A cat's eves shine in the dark not
because they produce light, but be
cause they reflect all the light that
may reach them. If the cat is in a
totally dark room one cannot see its
eyes; it is only when there is at
least a glimmer of light that these
glow. The cat’s eye is a powerful
14ns with a reflector behind. This
gathers the rays and concentrates
them in a horizontal, beam. It is
possible that these shining eyes ex
ercise a sort of hypnotic fascination
over mice and rats.
Easy Way.
An attendant at a certain insti
tute for the deaf and dumb was un
dergoing a pointless rapid fire in
quisition at the bands of a female
visitor.
“But how do you summon these
C mutes to church?” she asked
y, with what was meant to be
a pitying glance at the inmates
near by.
“By ringing the dumb bells, mad
am,” retorted the exalperated at
tendant.—Ixrodon Answers.
