The Empress Josephine had 60O, 900
francs for her personal expenses, but.this
sum was not sufficient, and her debts in
creased to an appalling degree. Not
withstanding the riches of her husband,
she could never submit to either order
or etiquette In her private life.
She rose at 9 O'Clock. Her toilet con-
sumed much time, and she lavished un-
wearied efforts on the preservation and
establishment of her person. She
changed her linen three times day, and
never wore any stockings that were not
new. Huge baskets we're brought to her
containing different dresses, shawls and
hats. From these she selected her cos.
tune for the day. She possessed be-
tween three and four hundred shawls,
and always wore one in the morning,
which she draped about her shoulders
with unequsled grace.
She purchased all that were brought
to her, no matter at what price.
The evening toilet was rs careful q

We have all heard Of the wonderful
niracle by which the Prophet Elisha
ca,med the iron head of an OK to float
on the water of the river Jordop. And
the floating of iron ships is something
with which we arc all familiar, either
from having heard of 1t or having seen
it. ~ EAR @
A tin or iron cup or basin will readily
float, provided it displaces an amount
of water greater than the weight of the
metal in the vessel. But even d solid
iron rod may be made to float provided
it is small enough. Take fine needle
wipe, it with an oily rag, but do not
leave any visible trace Of the oil on il,
and then lay It, gently on the surface
of the water in the basin > it will float
and continue to float for some little
time. The cause Of this Il the fact
that q suantity6 of sair Adheres 10 the
needle sufficient 10 buoy il up. More
over, al the cohesion between the
particles Of water is considerable, and
water has no attraction for perfectly

To Get into the Tents.
After a recent exhibition of the
Great Forepaugh show in Cleveland,
the Leader commented as follows:
"'Did you ever see so many visi-
tors come to town to show before|
was question heard on all sides
yesterday, and it always elected an
emphatic NO. never!' The rural
people seemed to respond to the be-
hests of the advertisements to come
early and see the procession for at
8 O'Clock in the morning the streets
were lined with newly-arrived amuse-
ment seekers, who mingled with the
the denizens and swelled the throngs
to surging crowds. They came on Il e
railroads. in wagons. and from the
suburbs in street cars. The streets
contiguous to the show grounds were
crowded with vehicles from neighbor-
ing farms, and long before the hour
for the afternoon performance it be-
came problem in the minds of many
how the vast numbers were to be ac-
c commodated beneath the canvas. A
Snowman was asked what he thought
about it. oh, we have the largest
canvas of any exhibition travelling
never you fear Nevertheless, there
was room for but little over half those
who essayed to enter, and long be.
fore the performance began thousands
of people either took their money
back at the wagon or kept their tick
cts for future use. How many people
witnessed the afternoon show it ii
hard to estimate, probably seven OF
eight thousand, though many attaches
put the number still higher. At al
events, the enorrnus canvas was liter
ally packed, from the topmost seat t.
the circus ring. The side-shows were
also literally patronized; there wa'
constantly large crowd on the out
side, and the sidewalks and stree
cars were filled with people goins
home to wait another chance.
| In the evening the same scene, al
far as attendance was concerned, wa
repeated. The tents began to fillnl
by six O'Clock, and at half past seve,
the doors were closed on account Q
the impossibility Of packing away an.
more spectators. Some little excite
ment prevailed during the seating Q
the vast concourse, but the audienc
became quiet and altogether peaceful
upon few words from the manage
ment requesting them to be seated.
Every act, every animal, every fea
ture advertised, was exhibited; an
if there is larger or better tente'
exhibition travelling than the vetera
Forepaugh's, We can only say, it ha
not pitched its tents in Cleveland.

Mr.. Klapp, of heading, has been

l0iner OF the papers, who was a
young woman living in Reading

she had been led into the commits
sion of the crime by a confidence
