An Emperor Hard Up.

When he was in Paris, Napoleaa
T., accompanied by DuToo, was often
in the habit OF rambling about the
city in the evening, dressed like his
attendant, in blue overcast, without
any decoration or ornament Like
the Csliph Haroun al RIschid, he
often met with curious adventures
Sometimes the Emperor hurried D1.
roc of, scarcely giving him time to
dress, and often causing him to for
get to take any money with him.
AS for Napoleon be never had any
about him. One day Napoleon and
Duroc took long tramp, and the
Emperor, being very hungry, went
into 8 cafe at the corner OF the
boulevard, and ordered q chop and
an smelette, bis isvorite dishes.
When they had breskfasted, the bill
was presented. The grant marshal
rummaged his pockets and found
that he had left his purse Ut home,
and that they we're In q Sad SIX"
The waiter who saw their annoyance,
politely told them that il they had no
money they might pay the next tim Q
they came that way. The woman
who kept the shop scolded the
waiter for his verdsncy, and said,
''There's eight francs dead loss"
"No, ma'am," said the waiter,
"I'll pay you myself. I'm sure
these men are honest, and won't let
me suffer"
The WON an took Ihe money, all
the time scoIding her guests for Or
dering breakfast before they found
out that hey could pay for it The
marshal then took Gu bis watch and
offered the waiter to leave it in
pawn, but the honest fellow refused
to receive it, and the guests took
their departure, after thanking him
warmly. But both OF them forgot
ell about the breakfast and the debt,
and for some days the coffee-house
Woman's tongue rang like the clap
per OF bell at the expense of the
poor walters gul!ibility, as she called
it. At last, on the fifth day, the
Emperor happened to think OF the
breakfast, and the confidence Of the
waiter. He Immediately dispatched
one Of his feotmen, who, on reach
ing the cafe, asked if two gentlemen
had not breakfasted there and run
up bill of eight francs which the
waiter bad paid, and added that he
had been sent to return the money.
The young man was called, and
after the servant had ascertained that
be was really the person in question
le said:
"Here are twenty-five NapoIeous
which the Emperor sends you, with
rs thanks for your paying his
'ill and becoming ansWerable for
Iim."
The waiter was overwhelmed with
hls honor, and. as long as he wore
be apron and carried the apkin

Jackson had waited another day before fighting
he would have lost New Orleans, and the whole

For by making this night attack he showed
the British that ne could and would fight,
and they, finding what kind Of defense he
meant to make, made up their minds to move
slowly and cautiously. They waited for the
rest of their force to come up, and while they
were waiting and getting ready, Jackson had
more than two weeks time in which to col!ecs

Readers.
81 frequently notice the mention of Holland
bulbs, and would like to know what they are,
and how they differ from the ordinary bulbs,
such as gadiolus, tuberosos and hyacinths."-
Carl Ans.: Holland bulbs are, strictly speak
ing, bulbs which are grown in that country
For generations all other countries have re-
ceived their supplies Of hyacinths tulips,
narcissus, crocuses, snOwdrops and some others
of hardy bulbs from Holland, where they are
grown cheaply and in great perfection, and are
on this account known in trade as Holland or
Dutch bulbs. GIadiolus and tubcroses are not
included, as they are easily raised in all
countries where the summers are warm enough
for their growth.
"What is the best method of cleaning plants
from the common meay bug in comseryato-
ries ?"-Mrs. A. r., New Haven. Ans We
know of 40 better way than TO wash them off
either by hand or by dashing water on the
plants through a syringe. Many applications
have been tried, but when used strong enough

also suffer injury.

Davis, Md Ans.: Either method is good; the
main point is to protect them from rains and
SHOWS, in mild winters especially, to keep them
from rotting
Mrs T., Hartford CO., Nd, "wishes to learn
how best to keep dahlia roots during winter;
keeping them in the cellar has not proved
satisfactory, as they shrivel and dry up by
spring" AnS.: We would suggest that the
roots be placed in a box and covered completely
with dry sand. Her cellar appears to be too
dry for the roots when exposed; the sand will
keep them plump and fresh. The roots should
be lifted after the stems decay; lift them on a
dry, sunny day, and let them be well dried
before storing for winter.
The above correspondent also asks about
growing hyacinths in water III glasses and
where they can be procured? To these ques-
tions we would reply that the single varieties
of hyacinths are the most satisfactory either
for glasses or for pot culture. The glasses can
be had at most seed stores. The bottom of the
bulb should barely touch the water, and the
glasses should be kept in dark closet until
they are well filed with roots; then, if brought
to the light in q warm room, the flower stems
will speedily grow.
