Very carefully inclosed and guarded are the 200 remainiug cedars of Leb- anon, those famous trees that once clothed all the sides of the Syrian mountains. So tall and beautiful wero they in comparison with the trees of Palestine that the Hebrew writers cel- ebrated them with extraordinary praise, and from the earliest times their soft white wood was the glory of Jewish architecture. - They were used in Solomon’s temple and in its successor and also in the church that Constantine built at Jerusalem. The surviving trees are called by the Arabs the “trees of God,” and under their widespreading branches the cler- gy of the Greek church occasionally celebrate mass. Several of the trees in the grove are over 1,600 years old and have a height of 100 feet and a-circumference of 50. In appearance they more resemble the aged larch or the majestic oak than the cedar that is known in America.— Harper's Weekly. A Clause_In Napoleon's Will. Peter the Great is said to have made a will in which he exhorted his heirs to approach as nearly as possible to Constantinople and toward India, but the authenticity of this document has been disputed, and it is shrewdly sus- pected to have been forged late in the eighteenth century by August von Kotzebue. Of the genuineness, however, of the last will and testament of Napoleon I. there can be no manner of doubt. One of 1fs clauses was as vindictive as the testamentary injunction of Queen Aus- trigilda to her husband to have her two doctors killed and buried with her. The exile of Longwood absolutely be- queathed 10,000 francs to a fellow called Cantillon, who had' been- tried in Paris for an attempt to murder the Duke of Wellington. The man was still surviving in Brussels when Na- poleon IIL. came to the throme, and Cantfllon was duly paid his legacy. Sam Played the Bass Drum. They used to say that Sam-had the biggest mouth in Indiana avenue. He was a short, stocky negro, and his mouth was the most noticeable thing about him. It is sald that he used to make pretty good money placing or- dinary saucers in his' mouth flat with his face as an exhibition. He was tell- ing a friend about the negro band of ‘which he was a member. .“I should think you would all wanf to play the instruments with solo parts, such as the cornet,” was suggested. “Dat ain’t it,” replied Sam. “Each man plays de horn dat suits his mouf best.” “Well, then, Sam, what horn do you play?* Ts was evident that the ques- tioner was puzzled. He wondered how Sam’s lips could be compressed to blow a horn. “Oh, Ah mavs de bass drum, sah,” said Sam.—Indianapolis News. Bracelets and Lunatics. Bracelets have been worn from time immemorial, but: few wearers of the golden bands of the present day know that they were once used to distin- guish the insane.
