WAS NAPOLEON A BOOR.

A writer in LippincOirs Magazine says
the hOushold manners of Napoleon were
those of bOOr. "When the established
hour for dining at Malmaison was six
O'Clock, and, though etiquette forbade any
one to approach the table before the an
nOuncement af the head OF the house. he
often failed to appear before seven, eight,
or even ten o'clock. A chicken or some
other article was placed on the spit every
fifteen minutes by order of the cook, who
knew well the habits Of the Emperor. The
table manners Of Napoleon may have been
those of the hero; they were certainly any,
thing but those of the gentleman. He
completed the process of ciamming-it
could scarcely be called eating-in SIX or
seven minutes, a. rule. Ignoring the use
OF knives and forks as regarded his own
plate, he did not stop there, but llelped
himself with his fingers from the dishes
nearest him, and dipped his bread in The

A DUCAL ANECDOrE.

A story of an English nobleman, re-
Gently deceased, is told by the MAN
About Tow" " in the Eaglish Sporting
Gazette. We give it in his own words:
''The Duke" he says, was once in
church, no matter where, when a col
lection was announced for some char
liable object. The plate or bag, or
whatever itmight be, beganto goround,
and the Duke carefully put hishand IN
to his pocket and took out a form,
which he laid ON the pew before him
ready for transfer to the plate. Beside
hlm sat little snOb, who noticing this
action initiated it by ostentatiously
laying a sovereign alongside the ducal
hOrin. This was too much for his Grace,
who dipped his hand into
his pocket again and pulled out
another form. which he laid by the
side Of the first. The little snob fol-
lowed sUit by laying another sovereign
beside the first. His grace quietly add
ed third forin, which was cap
ped by a third sovereign on the
part of the little snob. Out came a
fourth form to swell the Dukes dona-
ton; then the little snob triumphantly
laid three soyereigns at once upon the
board. The Duke, not TO be beaten,
produced three forms. Just at this mo-
ment the plate arrived. The little snob
took up his handful OF sovereigns and
ostentatiously ratified them into the
plate, then turned defantiy toward his
rival, as who should say, I think that
takes the shine out Of you Fancyhis
ehagriu when the Duke with grim
smile put one form into the plate and
quietly swept the remaining six back
INTO his pocket. His Grace used to
ehuekle when he told that story, and
think ON the whole he had the best of
it."

The use of this word for woman is one
of the most unpleasant and inexcusable
Of the common perversions of language.
It is not a criticism, although it is much
more in vogue among British writers
and speakers than among our own.
With us, lady is the favorite eupbonism
for woman. For every one of tie softer
and more ambitious sex who is dissatis-
fed with social position, or uncertain of
IT, seems to share hrs. Quickly's dislike
Of being called a woman. There is no
lack Of what is called authoritative usage
during three centuries for this misuse Of
female, ms may show, sb0uld undertake
the discussion of Americanism, 50 called.
But this is one of those perveFsiOns which
are not justified by example, however emil
nent. 4 COW or a sow, or any she brute, is
a female, just as woman is; as a man is
no more male than bull is; or a boar;
and no woman calls herself female with
oft thereby sharing her sex with all the
brute creation.

THE five counties of Harper, Bar
bour, CoBanche, Kmgman and Ness,
in Southwestern Kansas, are said to
contain about 800 inhabitants between
them. The Kansas law requires a pop
ulation Of 600 In each county. When
Barbour county was to be organized, it
contained three houses. A list of 600
names was made up. Just before it
was laid before the Governor, it was dis
covered that the names were all mascu-
line. The proper changes were made;
fictitious women and children took the
place OF some of the non-existent men;
and the county was organized. 1t at
once voted 100000 railroad bonds,
which are now in the market. The
same process was rep. ,ated in the four
other counties. So the Ring got half
million dollars in bonds and sent five
of It's members to the Legislature.
Each was unanimously elected. Evi-
