ALLOWANCE of Back Hair.

At a ball given by Louis Napoleon (when
Presidency at the Eysee, some nights before the
coup d'etat, Mile. Eugene met her future Empe-
ror and husband. Louis Napoleon did not much
care for the rush of ball rooms and he had
chosen o propitious moment to escape with his
the EIysee gardens, when he suddenly came upon
a radiant, blushng girl, who was tying up her
hair, opposite a glass in the conservatory. Her
hair had come down during waltz. and the
crowd was too great to admit of her reaching
the dressing-room attached to the dancing hall
so that she glided in here, hoping to be un-
observed. Louis Napoleon. seeing her in this
strait gafantly gave her his arm, and led her
round by the private apartments to the dressing
room in question, and from this time there was a
mutual regard between Napoleon and the fair
stranger.
During the following twelve months Nine. de
Montijo and her daughter were invited guests at
oil Presidential Observation-Disclosures Com
peigne ST. Cloud-and it escaped nobody that
the Prince paid Mile, Eugene an inordinate
amount of attention. No one supposed, however,
that these attentions could end in marriage
for the President. having performed his coup
d'etat. was on the point of becoming Emperor
and it was no secret that his ambassador at
Munich was trying to arrange match for him
with Princess of Bavaria. The King of BaTa-
ria refused to give away his relative to q Prince
whom he styled an "a adventurer = and then it
was that Louis Napoleon, much mortified at
heart resolved not to expose himself to farther
rebuffs in counting royal Prncesses. Possibly
Nine. de Montijo had been waiting Der opportu-
nifty for two days before the Bavarian snub had
begun to get bruited, she asked a private audi
ence of the Prince. and told him that, as his
attentions to her daughter were beginning to ex
cite comment, she had the intention of leaving
| France.
This was at St. Cloud, where the mother and
daughter were both staying. The Prince asked
Nine. de MoBtijO to tarry one day more, for ne
might have something to say to her; and he
employed these twenty.four hours in acquainting
his ministers of his intention to marry Mile
Eugenie. The news fell upon them like shell
Nothing of this kind had been apprehended by
any one, and Count de MOrny, Count de Per
signY, and Edward Ney earnestly mpored the
Prince not to contract such a mesalliance. Tht
communication was made to the Cabinet on thu
25th of November On the I'd of December thu
Prince was proclaimed Emperor on the I'd o
January the coming marriage was officially mott
fed to the French people. and on the Both o

Airing Beds.

No housekeeper has any valid claim to neat
ness. cleanliness aud tidiness, says the Watch
man, who makes her beds as soon as they are
vacated or if she has such a claim, it is bused
on the condition of ignorance. To demonstrate
this, let it be remembered that of all the food
and drink taken, about three-ffths pass out Of
the system through the outlets of the skin-the
pores about seven millions in number. This
waste and effete putrId matter is dead and
poisonous. passing off more rapidly by night,
and becoming more or less entangled in the
bedding and ON the surface of the body Hence
the necessity for bathing and brushing, with still
greater necessity for airing and purifying the
bedding. This is done most effectually by ex-
posure 10 the light Of the sun Us the great puri-
fer and " nothing is hid from the heat thereof. "
And here it may be remembered that the he'd
ding of the sick, so coon saturated by the filth
of acute disease, by being changed once at least
in six hours. and exposed to the free sunlight for
the same time, will be safe with half the wash
ing otherwise absolutely needed. Such clothes
cannot be kept too clean, while there is no
danger of too much care in these respects, as
OF the means of controlling such acute diseases
as fevers and innammations.
