Obesity or Embonpoint.

The primary cause Of emhonpoint is
the natural disposition Of the individual.
Most men are born with certain predis.
positions, which are stamped upon their
features. Out Of ono hundred persons
who die Of consumption, ninety have
brown hair, long face, aud u sharp
nose. Out Of one hundred fat ones.
ninety have short faces, round eyes, and
q short nose.
Consequently, there are persons whose
destiny it is to bs fat. This physical
truth has often given me annoyance. I
have at times mot in society some dear
little creature with rounded arms, dim.
pied cheeks and hands, aud per, little
nose, fresh and blooming, the admira-
ton Of every one, when, taught by ex.
periencc, cast rapid mental glance
through the next ten years Of her life.
and I behold these charms in another
light. aud sigh internally. This anti,
cipated compassion is painful feeling.
and gives one more proof that man would
be very unhappy if he could foresee the
future.
The second aud chief cause Of obesity
is to be found in tho mealy or doury
substances Of which man makes his food

How England Paid for the War on
Napeleona- .--,.:..

A correspondent Of the New York
Journal of Commerce says that England
paid for the expense Of her wars on Ma
poleon from 1903 to 1915 principally By
taxes. The total amount raised in these
,hirtceu years was in round numbers
6vc thousand eight hundred million
dollars, being at the rate Of four hun.
dred aud forty.si1 millions per annum.
OF this three thousand eight hundred
and 6fty-four millions were raised bS
tuxes. aud one thousand fVe hundred
and fifty-rour millions by loans. The
writer says:
But this was gold, or nearly So
There was no sensible depreciation Of
the currency up to the year 1910, aud
it never exceeded, if it reached, twenty.
five per cent. Allowing an average Of
twenty per cent for the whole thirteen
years, we have nm annual expense Of
about 375.000,000 Of dulars in gold,
equal to about S25.000.000 Of our pre-.
sent currency, and Of this amount only
ons.third was obtained by loans. Two
thirds, or $3.50, 100000 per annum were
ruised by taxes. This was the average
for thirteen years. For the year 1915,
the taxes were not far short Of six hun.
dred and fifty millions Of dollars u
grcenbocks.

1915 was about eighteen millions; ours
in 1865. half century later, may be
estimated at fifty per cent. moro, c1clu.

only oue.lhird Of the money she wanted
and yet she borrowed more than any
other power engaged in tho wars Of Ma
poeon. France even, ind Germany
paid in cash q larger portion OF their
enormous expenditures, than England
did that is, they raised at the time, by
taxes, the money they wanted. Would
it not be we'll for US to study this les.

An Extraordinary Domestic Tardi.

The following extraordinary domestic
tradition is extracted from now book
which is much talked of in Europe:
The Duke OF Alba, the brother-in-law
of Napoleon ILL, is short, little man,
who has something icy about his whole
manner. Small and weak, his face dis
PLAYS an alabaster hue, which gives him
q ghost-like aspect. In Spain the story
is current that the Duke was buried La-
fore he was orn. When his mother was
encieRte with him she was taken so des-
perately i'll that all the attempts to re-
store her remained fruitless. The
Duchess died far from Madrid, at a
chateau which had always been her IA
vorite residence She was buried III the
family vault; and, as it is the custom OF
the Spanish nobility, several valuables,
among others her rings, were put into
the coffin. The treasures which had been
left to oblivion with the Duchess aroused
the cupidiiy of some ruflians; they broke
into the vault on the night following
the funeral, robbed the dead woman and
would not leave the coffin till they had
plucked flashing diamond from the
corpse. Inc ulduohu was oh Vne iUcio
finger, and would not como off, This
gave the body.snatchers the truly can
nibal idea of cutting the finger. The
pain aroused the apparently dead wO'
man; she came to hersenses, set up Ia tho
coffin, aud, by her unexpected wakening,
put the robbers TO flight. When they
departed they forgot to close the vault.
The Duchess found sufficient strength
to quit her coffin and return to the cha
team, where she was at first taken for
ghost, and a priest was called i'll to eX-
orcise it, but as he was unable to I'anish
the spectre, the people in the chateau
gradually began to believe in her cor
poral existence. The Duchess recovered
and gave birth to boy, who has never
lost the deadly pallor which he brought
into the world with hlm.-Napoleon the
Third and his Court, BY a retired Diplomast
