Anywaya man's autobiography sel- dom gives him the worst of it. There is more spare room in some women's heads than in their skirts. There are two slaps to everything; yet a woman only has use for one side of a mirror. The man who makes good doesn't wait for opportunity to knock. He has the door wide open. No man knows the day or the hour when one of his old love letters will turn up and take a fall put of his happi- ness. Once in about 7,000 years a man man- ages to hit the mark when he shoots off his mouth. Only a few years ago married women felt sorry for spinsters.

Islaed royalty and, like a child with a. new toy, issued foolish decrees which began, "Napoleon, emperor, sovereign of Elba, to his people." :Utterly devoid of a sense of !ismer the emperor must have been to take his new position so seriously. It was a ,hiage joke that the powers played upon the Corsican by permitting him to retain the title of emperor and awarding him a "kingdom" that placed him on the same footing with the sul- tan of Sulu and the king of the Can. nibal isles. If Napoleon bad remained there he would' doubtless have become what his enemies intended he should become -an object of derision, the butt of the world's sneers and jeers. But he did not stay, and the glory of the "bane dred days," the brave carnage of Wa- terloo, the culminating tragedy of alt. Helena, restored Napoleon to a place among the world's beroes. St. Helena was grim and terrible. There humanity pictures Napoleon "with his hands crossed behind him, gazing out upon the sad and solemn sea" -a caged lion, feared by all the world. Elba was trifling, pitiful, pet- ty, insignificant, and there' Napoleon was a caged monkey to be laughed at. -New York World. A Caustic Critio.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tuba is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en- tirely closed, deafness is the reault, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be de- stroyed forever nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

For a Moment It Filled the Hostas, and Company With Dismay, but Proved a Case of All's Well That Ends Well -A Snub For a Taetless Baroness, Liszt resented people counting on his playing. When Baroness K. Inveigled him into promising to take tea witla her, because he knew her father, she, on his accepting. invited a lot of friends, holding out hopes that Liszt would play. he pushed the piano into the middle of the r0003 --no one• could have possibly failed to see it. Every one was on the qui vive when Liszt arrived and breathless with an- ticipation. Liszt, who had had many surpriees of this sort, 1 imagine, saw the situation at a glance. After several peeple had been presented to him, Liszt,- with his most captivating smile, said to the hostess: "Madam, where is your piano?" and loolsed all about for the instrument though it was within an inch at Ms nose. "Oh, monseigneur! Would you, really * * * ?" advancing toward the piano, triumphantly.' "You are too kind. I never should have dared to ask you." And, waving her band toward it, "Here is the piano!" "Ale yes," said Liszt, who dearly loves a joke, "I wished to put my hat 013 it." Very crestfallen, but still undaunted, the tactless baroness cried, "But, mouseigneur, you will not refuse, if only to play a scale -merely to touch the piano!" But Liszt, as unkind as she was tact. less, answered, coldly: "Madam, I never play my scales in tbe afternoon," and turned his back on her and talked wit!) Madam Efelbig. On another occasion Liszt wrote to me that he would bring some of his songs to try over at 5 o'clock. 1 in - :lose his letter. Wbat a chance, thought I, for roe to give pleasure to some of my friends who I knew were longing to see him. Although he had saidAntre , nons tn bls letter, 'and I knew that he really wanted to look through the songs alone with me. I could not resist the teruptation-though it was such rank disobedience -and said to them: "Liszt is coming to me at 5 o'clock. If you would lin to hear hlm, and consent to be bidden behind a door, I will invite yon." They all accepted with rapture and were assembled In the little salon be- fore the time appointed The door was left open and a large screen placed before it. Johan fetched Liszt in our carriage, as he always does. I received him and the book of "Lleder," which be brought with him (Only Johan and Nina were present.) He opened the book at "Com- ment disalent lis?" one of his most beautiful songs, which has an exquisite but very difficult accompaniment He played with fairy fingers, and we went over It several times. I could see the screen swerving and waving about, but Liszt's back was turned, so he could not see it After we had finished tea was served, and then he said. "Have you beard my 'Rigelettor " "Yes," I said, and added. "but not by you." • "Well," be said, "I will play it for you. Your piano is much better than tbe one I have. It is a pleasure to play on Tbe screen, now alive with emotion, almost tipped over. After "Rlgoletto" he played "Les Soirees de Vienne," and this time the screen actually did topple over and exposed to view the group of badly frightened ladies hud- dled behind it. I shuddered to think how the master would take this hop rIble treachery. He took It better than I expected - in fact, he laughed outright The la- dles came forward and were presented to Mm and were delighted. I am sure that Liszt was, too; at any rate, be laughed so much at my ruse and con- trition that the tears rolled down his cheeks.

In his recent work, "The Antiquity of Man in Europe," Prof. James Geikie of Edinburgh University, declares his belief that man has inhabited Europe between 250,000 and 500,000 years. All such estimates are based on geological facts -such as the rate at which sedi- ment is deposited, or at which stalag- mites grow -that are very hard to de- termine with any accuracy but no one now doubts that man is far older than men of science originally supposed him to be. "When we reflect," says Pro- fessor Geikie, "on the many geograph- ical changes that man has witnessed, - the submergence and re -elevation of enormous tracts, the erosion of valleys and generally lowering of the surface by denudation; when we consider that he has lived through a -succession of. stu- pendous climatic revolutions; that he has seen widely contrasted floras and faunas alternately occupying our contin- ent, -tundras, pelves and great forests succeeding each other again and again, -we must feel convinced that it few thousaed years that have elapsed since the downfall of Babylon, Assyrian and Egyptian empires are as nothing com- pared with the long aeons that separate the earliest times of history from the apparaition of Palaeolithic man in Eur- ope.

The servant was discussing her lat- est love affair with a mistress, who was humane enodleh to be interested. "Well," said the mistress, "since you've been going out with him for months, I think It's quite time he took you to see his parents." "I've been telling him so, ma'am.
