AMERICAN BONAPARTES.
Members of the Historical Corsicau Fam.
lily Residing In Washington.

Two striking figures have become
familiar to people along the fashion
able part of Rhode Island avenue and
out Fourteenth street. They are al
ways on horseback, sweeping along at
brisk trot or canter, aud whisking
| around corners with a reckless grace.
The one is a man of striking appear
ance, in high military boots and with
the strong face of asoldier. His heavy
shoulders bend forward in an un-Amer-
lean fashion for riding, but his strong
limbs and the bold carriage of his head
attest that he would be an erect figure
dismounted, and when his horse comes
to stand he sits his saddle as erect as
statue. His large, round head is set
firmly, and his heavy black mustache,
brushed straight out on either side and
waxed at the ends in the military style
of France, and a black goatee, drawn
down and waxed in the same style, give
him a fierce expression, and bring to
mind historic portrait. His mount
is blood bay of large build, which
carries him at a sweeping trot.
The companion who gallops on a
smaller animal at his side is a little old
lady, with an abundance of iron gray
hair, and features that always attract
attention. She is daring rider as
well as a good one, and she often
presses her horse to a more reckless
pace than is his wont. Sometimes
they are accompanied by young girl,
apparently their daughter Nearly
every day in the winter, when less en-
thusiastic horsemen restricted their
equestrian exercises to the quadrangle
of the riding academy, these two
would face the cutting wind with
dash that showed them seasoned to the
sport.
The mans striking resemblance to
Napoleon LII. marks him at once for
one of that stock. They are Colonel
jerome Bonaparte and Nine. Bona
parte. 1t is Nine. Bonaparte's love of
this exercise that swings her husband
so often into the saddle. This active
outdoor life gives her a youthful color
that disputes the accusation of her
gray hair. The Coloners hair is
tinged with gray. Any one at all IA
miliar with the portrait OF the last
Emperor of France is struck with the
resemblance between the two faces.
Colonel Bonaparte rides better horse,
but he is not as graceful rider as his
wife Washington Letter.

Two Parlor Paradoxes-

Two interesting physical experiments
ire amusing French scientific men. In
the first lighted candle is placed be-
hind bottle, and the latter is blown
upon with the breath from a distance OF
about a foot. The meeting of the air
currents set in motion around the bottle
quickly extinguishes the flame, though
extinction would be impossible if fiat
board or sheet of cardboard were sub
stituted for the bottle. For the second
experiment two bottles are placed on a
table, with space of half an inch be-
tween them. The candle is set behind
this space, and from the same distance
as before, on the opposite side, the
breath is blown smartly against the
flame. Not only will the latter continue
burning. but it will incline slightly to-
ward the operator, as if through the
effect of suction. This phenomenon,
analogous to the first is due to the fact
that portion of the air can not pass
between the bottles, and is forced
around them and back towards the ex-
perimenter. Mechanical Netos.

and even II he passes that he IL not

The recruiting officers need to know as
much as a surgeon. Besides that thew
acquire knowledge OF human nature
which helps them pick out the best
men. Hardly half the applicants for
enlistment are received, and as a re-
suit OF this careful culling, and the re-
enlistment OF the best OF the old men
the physical and the moral standard of
the army is constantly, rising.
The most careful examination f.
made OF the chest and heart. A table
has been prepared giving the mean
chest measurement and mobility for
each inch of height. A recruit five
feet four should weigh 1928 pounds. have
mean chest measurement Of thirty
Tour inches. and a mobility OF two
inches. At five feet height his weight
should be l4l pounds, his mean chest
S44 inches, and his mobility two and
one-half inches. Each inch in height
over five feet four should mean an in
crease in weight OF two pounds, with
i've pounds extra for each inch over
i've feet seven. After five feet seven
there should be an increase OF half an
inch In the mean chest measurement
for each inch in height. The table gives
the weight, height and chest mobility
up to o feet 8, where the weight should
be 1870 pounds, the mean chest 3Sinches.
and the mobility p inches. 1t would
be ground for rejection If the man
should be under weight, or If his mean
chest or chest mobility were too small.
The measurements of the chest are
made by having the recruit raise his
arms above his head. The tape is cir
cled around the chest under the arm
pits. As the arms are lowered and the
air expelled, the measure is taken.
Then full inspiration, and the meas
ure is taken again at the same point.
The difference is the mobility. A
mobility Of over three inches shows
that the chest is in good expansive
condition.
The recruit hops around the room
first on one leg and then on the other.
Upon his return the recruiting officer
feels his pulse, to see how much it has
quickened through the exercise. The
glands, muscles and bones are ex-
amined, and occasionally measure
ments are taken Of the arms, legs and
stomach. The recruit then goes
through the positions required in drill
ing. and he hops his arms, legs, hands,
feet and fingers around to show the
officer that they work freely. The ex-
animation extends to every part Of the
body, and is as thorough as it can be
made. Y. San.
