The Imperial Razor.

A writer in the Eetite Presse
gives us particulars about the man
ner in which certain crowned
heads and other distinguished NOR
tails in Europe get shaved. King
William the First, of Prussia,
the author tells US, has all his life
long shaved himself, and still per-
forms that task every morning
1t is a very light one, though, the
King wearing nearly his full whis-
kers. Napoleon is shaved by his
old valet de chambre, Jean, who
has cultivated his imperial mas
ter's chin and cheeks for over thir-
ty years. At the Tuilleries peo-
pie say he is not good barber, but
the Emperor is well satisfied with
him, Rapoleon's mOustache and
goatee are carefully waxed every
morning, and some say the Empe-
ror has dyed them ever since 1859.
Prince Napoleon, who never
wears a beard, because that would
lessen his striking resemblance to
his uncle, Napoleon l., is regu-
larly shaved by one of the most
skillful French BARRIERS. Victor
Emanuel shaves himself, but not
regularly, which accounts for the
somewhat rough appearance which
his face represents every now and
then. Francis Joseph pays more
attention to the appearance of his
face, and is shaved every morning
by one of his valets. Bismarck
shaves himself every day, except
when he is in the country. On
these occasions he often allows his
whole beard to grow for weeks
His great rival and adversary,
Count Won Beust, is extremely
particular about his personal ap-
pearance. He always dressed
very neatly, and both his barber
and hair-dresSer understood their
business thoroughly.

Crocodiles and Monkies

On some of the islands in the
Gulf of Siam crocodiles are abun
dant, and a recent traveller in that
region thus describes the manner
in which these monsters of the
deep catch the apes, also numer'
GUS which sometimes take q fancy
to play with them:
"Close to the bank lies the croc-
die, his body in the water and on
ly his capacious mouth above the
surface, ready to seize anything
that may come within reach. A.
troop of apes catch sight of him,
seem to consult together, approach
little by little, and commence
their frolics, by turns actors and
spectators. One of the most ac-
tive, most impudent, jumps from
branch to branch, till within res
pectable distance of the crocodile,
when, hanging by one claw, and
with the dexterity peculiar to
these animals, he advances and
retires, now giving his enemy a
blow with his paw, at another
time only pretending to do So
The other apes, enjoying the fun,
evidently wish to take part in 1t;
but the other branches being too
high, they formed a sort of chain
by laying hold of each others paws
and thus swing backwards and
forwards, while any one of them
who comes within reach of the croc-
odile, torments him to the best of
his ability. Sometimes the terri
bic jaws suddenly close, but not
upon the audacious ape, who Just
escapes; then there are cries of
exultation from the tormentors.
who gambol about joyfully. Oc-
casionally, however, the claw is
entrappcd, and the victim dragged
with the rapidity of lightning be-
meath the water, when the whole
troup disperse, groaning and
The misadventure
does not, however, prevent their
recommending the game a few days
afterwards.

Five Cents Worth Of Or,
ange Peel.

A man from the countryinvested
five cents in the purchase of or
ange, and preparatory to getting
himself outside Of it, threw the
peel on the sidewalk. Soon after a
young woman came along, slipped
upon the peel and fell, breaking
her leg. The woman was to have
been married next day, but wasn't.
The man who was to marry her
had come from St. Paul, Minneso-
ia, and was obliged to return on ac-
count Of business, to await the re-
covery of the girl. On his way
back he unfortunately took q train
on The Erie Railroad, which ran off
the track, and his shoulder blade
was broken, forcing him to stop at
Dunkirk for repairs. On getting
back to St. Paul he found that his
forced absence had upset busi-
ness arrangement, which he in
tended to complete, at pecuniary
loss to him of SIS, 900. Meantime
the injured girl suffered a relapse,
which so enfeebled her health that
her marriage was delayed, which
had a bad effect upon the young
man, and he finally broke up the
engagement and married a widow
in Minnesota with four small chill
dren. This so worked upon the
mind of the girl that she is now in
the insane hospital at Middleton.
Her father, outraged by the con-
duet Of the young man, brought a
suit for breach of promise, and has
Just recovered $4,000. The
anxiety and expense of the whole
affair thus far has been enormous,
as anybody can see. Similar ca
ses are liable to occur, so long as
people will persist in throwing or
ange peel around loose.-Haryo9,a
(C0nn.) Courant.

Brougham and yelling
ton.

One day when his lordship had
driven to the House in the vehicle
of his own invention, which Rob-
inson, the coachmaker, had christ.
ened after him. be was met in the
robing-room by the Duke of We'll
ington, who, after a low bow, &C
costed hin:
81 have always hitherto lived
under the impression that your
lordship will go down to posterity
as the great apostle Of education,
the emancipation of the negro, the
restorer of abused charities, the
reformer of the law; but no-you
will hereafter be known as the in
yen1or of carriage"
"And l, my lord Duke, have al
ways been under the delusion that
your grace would be remembered
as the hero Of a hundred battles,
the liberator of Europe, the con-
queror of Napoleon; but no
your grace will be known as the
inventor of a pair of boots"
''Confound the boots / had for
gotten them. You haye the best
of it."

Death at the Breakfast
Table.

Robert Bruce, a celebrated
Scotch minister, sat at his break
fast table one morning. Having
eaten boiled egg, he turned to his
daughter, and said:
81 think I am hungry yet: you
may bring me another egg"
He then grew thoughtful a mo-
ment, and added:
"Hold, daughter, holdl my
Master calleth me-"
Here his sight failed him, but
calling for a Bible, he requested
his daughter to place his finger on
Romans viii, SO, 80. This being
done he repeated the verse, dwell
ing especially on, 81 am persuad-
ed that neither life nor death shall
be able to separate me from the
love of God which is in Christ Je-
sus my Lord" He then said;
"God will be with you, my chill
dren. / have breakfasted with
you, and shall sup with my Lord
Jesus Christ tonight"
These were his last words; with
out a shiver or groan, he at once
started on his flight to everlasting
glory.
Reader, you breakfasted with
your family circle this morning.
Suppose, like the good Mr.. Bruce,
you should die suddenly to-day,
with whom would yop sup to-
night?

A Good Definition.

Sometimes a learned and digni.
fed judge, even while in the dis
charge of his duties on the bench,
will get off a grim joke. An in
stance of this kind occurred here
during the last session of the Dis
trict Court. The case of Allen
against Wheeler, a suit growing
out of some grain speculations in
Chicago, between the contesting
