tails of the imperial household. Ma
poleon's income was about 81, 100000 a
year, exclusive of what he took from the
secret service and other funds. He al
lowed himself $1,000 q year for his
dress. It is well known that If an article
OF clothing did not suit him exactly,
either in make or material, it was con-
demned, aud that he was greatly given
to linking or greasing his white breeches
and to burning his boots by using his
boot as poker, especially when he was
angry or excited. He usually rose at z.
If he wakened in the night he frequent
~ bathed, ate or worked before going
to sleep again. he suffered from a foul
stomach, and often fancied that he had
been poisoned. It took NJ. De Remusat
q long time to teach him to shave him.
self; the Chamberlain was moved to
this through Napoleon's visible uneasi-
ness when in the BARRIERS hands. If a
garment did not please him it was torn
of and thrown on the floor or into the
fire. In trimming his nails, of which
he was vain, he used countless pairs of
scissors. that were smashed off-hand if
they were not sharp. The only perfume
he was partial to was cologne, of which
he required sixty bottles q month. He
ate and drank little, though he was very
fond of coffee. At dinner he had every
thing served at once, and fed at hazard,
often taking cream or a dish Of sweets
before touching the entrees.

How NutmeRs Grow.

Nutmegs grow on little trees which
look like small pear trees, and are gem
orally over twenty feet high. The flow
ers are very much like the lily of the
valley. They are pale and very fra,
grant. The nutmeg is the seed Of the
fruit, and mace is the thin covering over
this seed. The fruit is about as large
as peach. When ripe it breaks open
and shows the little nut inside. The
trees grow on the islands of Asia and in
tropical America. They bear fruit for
seventy or eighty years, having ripe
fruit upon them at all seasons. A. fine
tree in Jamaica has over 4, 900 nutmegs
on it yearly. The Dutch used to have
all this nutmeg trade, as they owned
the Banda islands, and conquered all
the other traders and destroyed the
trees. To keep the price up they once
burned three piles of nutmegs, each of
which was as large as church. Nature
did not sympathize with their mean
ness. The nutmeg pigeon, found in all
the Indian islands, did for the world
what the Dutch determined should not
be carried the nuts, which are
their food, into all the surrounding
countries, aud trees grew up again, and
the world had the benefit.

Wild Animals in Africa.

Although the gradual spread of the
population toward the interior OF Africa
is driving the wild animals further and
further inland, and though they are
consequently difficult to reach in the
more inaccessible haunts to which they
have retreated, yet the larger wild ami
mails have, with one or two exceptions,
scarcely suffered any diminution from
the advancing tide of civilization. Os-
triches have suffered, perhaps, the most,
but only to exchange wild for do
mesticated state. Elephants are FREE
quently seen within short distance of
southern and southeastern coasA. Hip
popotami are abundant. Even the
larger beasts of prey are by no means
uncommon, and tigers are especially
depredators. If the reports of diamond
diggers in the Northwest are to be be-
ieved, new animal has lately made its
appearance as candidate for the honor
of being chased by an enterprising
sportsman. It is called by the bushmen,
or natives, the bear ion," and il de-
scribed as being about the size of
lion, but far stronger in make, and with
a tremendous head and neck. It's legs
are much shorter than lions, but much
stouter, and it is apparently far more
powerful. Its color is dark yellow,
with black spots. It runs or creeps
along the ground, but does not bound
like lion. It has sometimes been seen
accompanied by q smaller one probably
cub-so that the race is apparently
not yet quite extinct, whatever the AMI
NAL may be.

Religious Notions.

Notions about religion may grow up
in peoples heads as hair grows on them
without any feeling.
Much that we cannot ask of man, we
are, O.! SO glad, if any wise and friend
~ man will offer.
Whosoever examines and enjoys q
Scripture story feels that he is brought
nearer to God thereby.
Whatever, innocently interesting the
mind, fills the heart with pure affec-
tionate feeling serves for edifcation.
Christ has both to make Himself de-
sired as guest, and to persuade those
who already desire Him that He is most
willing to come.
It is quite natural and very useful
that there should be much homely, and
simple narrative in the Bible. This
makes Us feel that salvation" comes to
the house; and does not merely wait
in the church till we go to it.
The Evangeic narratives d0nlesticnte
the Gospel" in our souls; the dignifed
truth becomes afable, yet remains dig
nifed; and we love what we revere.
because it is SO familiar with us.-Reu.

The COlOnel's Advice !.

In reference to anecdotes of the late
war, a story is told on Col. B. of the Nine
ty-ninth Illinois Volunteers. While that
regiment was being transported down
the river from St. LOUIS, a soldier by &C.
cident fell overheard, and, as usual, ev-
erybody became excited. Above the
noise could be heard Col. BIS stentorian
voice calling out to the struggling man,
"Grab root Grab root!'
The idea of man grabbing hold of a
root in the middle of river, to save him
self from drowning, was ludicrous. The
boys remembered It, however, and at the
first charge on the works of Vicksburg
the Colonel received an ugly shot in the
calf OF his leg, which brought him to the
ground. He rolled over several times IN
pain, and, while the balls from fireworks
were cuttin g the dust around him, he
cred out, "Cease firing! Cease frin e
