A recent English book about Mar shal Ney, Napoleon's herioc lieuten- ant, “the bravest of the brave,” brings out-some interesting :facts. This Frenchman was really a Ger- man. He was born at Saariouis, now in Prussia, and then and always Ger- man. . He spoke only German as a child. He was red-haired, with a wide face, and round blue eyes. Five feet eight inches in height, he had a short body and long legs. His com- rades. called him “le rougeot,” which was equivalent to “carrots’ 'or “brick top.” He was forty-six years old at ‘Waterloo. So was Napoleon. So was ‘Wellington. Michel Ney was a man who ‘was trained up to the hardships of a work- man’s life. His father was a cooper, and-in his boyhood work in his fa- ther's business he was_accustomed to toil and exposure. This enabled him to sleep placidly in the snow on the return from Moscow, wrapped in his cloak, “with the starved, ragged sol diers ‘of the grand army - keeping guard, and , the Cossacks prowling around in the darkness.” Peril of the Game, ' “Making ‘love is dangerous, some times.” . : !TMPPING N MAINE " 'PAYS Foxes and Minks Are Liquidating ‘the Mortgages on.

The fur dealers claim that the foxes and mink have never been so plentiful. The fox skins have brought more money per skin than in several years back. It is estimated that the hunters have realized from fox skins alone in the county nearly $15,000. One of the most unusual things in connection with this ‘industry, one man alone in the county caught in two days time a black fox and a gray one that brought him a check for $2,500 and in a week’s time this man trapped ten red foxes.

How much will you charge me?”’. “How much have you in your pocket?’ asked- Detaille. “Twenty-six francs,” and the trooper .pulled. out.the .money, tied up in‘ hiz handkerchief, adding, “Perhaps tha{ won’t be enough?” “Oh, yes, lots,” said Detaille; “si{ down.” And he had soon painted the soldier’s portrait on a small wood panel. “There you are; I hope your people will Hke it” “I think they will,” said the trooper; “it.isn’t bad at all,” and he.untied the four cornery of the handkerchief tospay Detaille hig | twenty-six francs.

Just how leaves, branches of trees, ete,, absorb and ap- propriate silica to such an extent as to convert them into stone cannot be explained, but they do. Some springs and some streams contain 8o much silica that branches of trees and other vegetable matter lying for a length of time in the water become so impreg- nated with silica that they are con- verted into stone. The petrification of a human body, shut off from con- tact with water or earth, would be more difficult to explain, and we doubt if there is an authenticated case of the kind. A great many vegetable fossils or petrifactions have been found, but we think no animal petrl- factions. . North Dakota offers unlimited op- portunities for business to classi- fled advertisers.
