Initials on Fruit.

Did ever you see a name prin ted on
growing apple, pear or peach? Mo-?
Well, if you wish to have that pleasure,
this is the way to obtain it: While the
fruit yet hangs green upon the tree. make
up your mind which is the very biggest
and most promising specimen of all
Next, cut out fom thin tough paper the
initials of the name of your little brother
or sister or chief crony. with round
specks for the dots after the letters, and
the letters themselves plain and thick.
Then paste these letters and dots ON that
side of the apple which is most turned
to the sun, taking care not to loosen the
fruits hold upon its stem.
AS soon as the apple is ripe. take off
the paper cuttings, which. having shut
out the reddening rays of the sun. have
kept the fruit green just beneath them,
SO that the name or initials now show
plainly. After that. bring the owner of
the initials TO play near the tree, and say
presently: why, what are those queer
marks on that apple up thereP"
You will find this quite pleasant way
to surprise the very little ones, and, of
course, you can print short pet name
as easily as initials.-&. Nicholas.

NapOIeOn's Timepiece.

Among a number of objects belonging
to Napoleon l., which passed into the
possession of Napoleon IL, the most in
teresting was watch, which the former
always carried upon his military ex-
petitions, and from which he was not
ST. Helena. The First Napoleon bought
this watch, which was not very valua
BILE and was of very ordinary appearance,
at Marseilles, when he was still a
lieutenant of artillery, and although it
often had need OF repair, he refused to
change it for a better one, even when he
became first consul and then emperor
One day the emperor looked at the
watch before General Berthier, and
found that it had stopped several hours
before. In response to a remark made to
him upon the subject by the general, the
emperor. answered smiling, why
stop some day" In after years the
watch became the property of Napoleon
Ill, who carried it with him upon his
expedition to Boulogue and Strasbourg
From the day when he was named Prince
President until the moment of his death
at Chiselhurst it was with him con-
stantly. -.... ...
II is related by friends of the imperial
family that on the day that Napoleon
LII. quit faflS ana put himself at the
head of his army, during the war of
1870, the watch suddenly stopped. The
emperor, who was very superstitious,
saw in this incident a presage of evil,
and was much depressed during all the
journey. ..r - ~
At the death of Napoleon III. the ex-
Empress Eugene gave the watch to her
son, who also constantly carried it with
him, and expressed the wish ALWAYS to
preserve it carefully as souvenir OF his
father and great-uncle. The prince car
ried the watch with him upon his de-
parture for the war in South Africa.
The sword that the prince carried, and
which was captured by the Zulus, also
belonged to Napoleon /. The gold ring
found on the body of the prince was a
jewel which came to him from his
father, and to which was attached a seal
which General Bonaparte brought back
with him from Egypt

| There are several well-dressed men in
the city of New York who make their
entire livelihood by getting bills changed.
| They are well dressed, because the mere
claiming of bill of any considerable
| amount by any person who is not well
dressed would be in itself ;e suspicious
| circumstance.
| Some of these men act as crowders,'
as it is called; that is, they wait till
| there is crowd of people round the
cashiers desk, and then they advance
| boldly to the front, and demand the
| change of that twenty or that fifty dollar
| bill which they claim to have handed
the cashiersome time ago, and for change
for which they claim to have been
patiently waiting ever since.
| Some of these men g weaken quickly;
that is, if the cashier or man handling
the money makes any difficulty what
ever, they stink away, fearful of provok-
| ing an issue. But those who understand
| their game best do nothing of the sort;
on the contrary, to use an expressive
vulgarism. they" cheek it out i'm fact,
| they are prepared for trouble, and de-
| pend upon their impudence to carry them
| through.
In these eases, it is a matter of" buff
between the swindler and the cashier,
and the more modest man of the two
goes to the wall.
Sometimes small bill is handed in
by the swindler. and change afterward
| demanded for a large one. Occasionally
no bill at all is passed, but is only allud-
ed to as having been rendered.
Whenever it is possible, the change
swindIer endeavors to watch the cashier
while handling his money, SO as to see
what bills of what denomination he
may have before him.
IT. for instance, the cashier is seen to
be dealing with fves, tens, twenties,
fifties, ETC., then, of course, change can
be demanded for that five, or ten, or
twenty, or fifty, etc., which is said to
have been handed in some time ago. etc.
And occasionally the hange-swindlers
act in couples This arrangement is
quite effective, the one confederate sup
porting the pretensions and indorsing
the statements of the other. Sometimes
the pair of swindle rs profess to be init
mate friends sometimes they seem to be
entire gers-oniy, one stranger, in
this instance, can vouch that he saw the
other stranger hand the cashier a
twenty-dollar bill to be changed, etc.
One of the most expert change-swin-
oilers in the city is a woman, and very
pretty woman-a blonde, tall, dignifed.
exquisitely dressed. She generally acts
alone, depending upon her eyes to carry
her through, and they never fail to do
SO. Even when caught at her "little
game" she generally eyes her intended
victim into si1ence-and forgiveness.

rose from the table. his tall form erect,

Sing Cuckoo.

When grass is mowu, and bends the grain
Before the sckle's keen caress,
When shrilly creaks the loaded vain
And groans the spouting cider press,
A flying shout from the haunted wood,
BY tangled thicket and roaring flood,
herrily ringeth the bright day through
Cuckoo! cuckoo
When bleating lambkins seek the fold,
And from the farmyard banks the dog,
When rusts the sunsets wealth OF gold
And FIELDS are dtenched in river fog,
While fits the bat in the village streets,
This unseen, magical voice repeats .......
A mourniul chant mid the falling dew
Cuckooi cuckoo!
When Stars are brightest in the sky,
And low the spectral crescent swiIns,
When from the woodland comes cry,
And Yer the marsh the owlet skins,
While all the life OF the glad day sleeps,
A ghostly watcher his vigil keeps,
Bitterly weeping the long night through
Cuckoo! cuckoo!

minority in the profession, and is
made up chiefly of those who have
had but little acquaintance with the
disease.
Observe that even this small class
of physicians ascribe it to malaria,
not filth, for the profession has every
where conceded hat the poison of
sewers, vaults, ETC., begets another
kind OF fever altogether, when it re-
suits in fever at all, the usual form Of
disease from this source not being
fever. The proposition to abolish
vaults, and substitute earth closets,
may result in mischief They have
been extensively tried in large manu-
featuring establishments, without sat
isfaetory results. Beside entailing a
vast deal of trouble and expense to
keep them in proper condition, it is
by no means certain that they are less
Objectionable, in a sanitary point of
view, than vaults properly constructed
and cared for. Vaults of the right
are not so exposed to that de-
gree of temperature likely to develop
nOxious causes as are earth closets,
and the expense necessary to maintain
the former in healthy condition is not
s. great as that required for the latter.
A halt should be called. We should
go slowly about this matter, A
change so extensive and radical as the
one proposed (the filling up of all
vaults aud the substitution of earth
closets, fit can be safely done at all,
cannot be done in the short time allot-
ted to the work till the next hot sea-
son, and harm may and probably will
result.to the general health if it is
thus hastily, and necessarily imp,r
fectly, attempted.
The case then presents itself thus !;
The community adversely to the OBJ
servations and teachings of the pro-
fession, touching the cause and nature
of this fever, have jumped to the con
c%lusion that it is filth, and filth only,
that is the matter ; and propose to
engage in radical changes and meas
ures, which, when accomplished, will,
in the general judgment Of the. pro-
fession, give no immunity from the
disease for while a council of ply
sicians will advise, on general princi-
pies, to clean perfectly everything, it
will not hesitate to declare when you
have so done, that yellow fever may
not be introduced, and prevail as
readily as formerly.
The most fatal epidemic that Phil
adelphia ever suffered was when she
had made herself never so clean,
while Baltimore escaped the same cpl
demic by e of quarantine without
any effort at cleaning whatever. Mem
phis may not suffer another visitation
of fever for a long while indeed,
may never suffer from it again, if the
proper efforts are made during the
approaching cold season, to get rid Of
infected tenements, bedding, ETC., and
trade and travel are prohibited, ALSO
lutely, when necessity is presented.
Make her perfectly clean. Remove
and renew everything as far as posi-
BILE to which the producing agent may
have attached itself. Do this during
the present cold season, and the dis
ease will have to be imported before
we will again suffer from it. The
attempt to abolish vaults throughout
the city, if desirable, would be unsafe
in the brief time allotted to the work
