. THE TWO NAPOLEoNs.
Both Attached II superstitious Importance
to the Letter mr.


1t is not generally known that both
Napoleon l, and Napoleon III, attached
the most superstitious Importance to
the letter M. This will be understood
When it is remembered thatMarbeuf
was the tirst to call attention to the
genius OF young Bonaparto at the mil
ltary college, that Marengo was Ma
Poleon's first great victory, that Molae
was the General whom he superseded
in the command of the French army
in Italy, that Morton was one of his
best Generals, that it was Moreau who
betrayed him, and that Murat, King of
Naples, was the first martyr to his
cause. Marie Louise shared the cul-
minating point of his fortunes, Mos
cow was the scene of his greatest dis
aster, and it was Metternich who de-
feated him in the field of diplomacy.
NO less than six of his Field Marshals
and tweuty-six of his best Generals
had names beginning with M, and
Maret, Duke of Bassano, was his most
trusted confident. His very first
battle WAS that of Moulnotte, and his
last that of Mont Saint Jean, subse-
quently and more universally known
us Waterloo. Among his victories
were those of Millesimo, Mondovi,
Montmirail, Montercan and Montmar-
tire. His first Chamberlain was NJ. de
Montesqieu, his last residence in
France was at Malmaison. Ho sur
rendered himself to Captain Maitland
of Her British Majesty's ship Bellero-
phon, aud his attendants at st. Helena
were Montholon and Marchand.
The superstition attached by Ma
poleon III, to the letter NJ may be &C.
counted for by the fact that his wife
was Countess of Montijo, that his
most Intimate friend was the Duke Of
Morny, and his most dreaded enemy
Manzini. The most glorious feats of
arms by the French army during his
reign were the capture of the Malakoff
and OF the green Mameleh during the
Crimean war. His most famous Field
Marshals were Mcmahon, Duke of Ma
genta and the Duke of Maial1off The
great victory of Solferino in 1859 took
place on the banks of the Mincio, and
the cities of Mautua and Milan played
an important role during the cam
paign. The Mexican war and the exc
cution of Emperor Macmillan caused
his power to wane perceptibly.
Mallnesbury was the name Of his most
intimate friend in English political
life. Sedan, which witnessed his fall,
is on the banks Of the Mouse; the sur
render OF Metz rendered his restora-
ton to power impossible, and Moltke
was the name of the man to whose
genius he chiefly owed his defeat.

The age of great men is going; the
epoch of the ant-hill, of life, in multi
plicity, is beginning. The century OF
individualism, if abstract equality tri.
umphs, runs a great risk Of seeing No
none true individuals. By continual
leveling and division of labor, society
will become every thing and man moth

by the denudation ana washing down
of the mountains. what is average will
rise at the expense OF what is great.
The exceptional will disappear. A
plateau with fewer and fewer undula-
tions, without contrasts and without
opposit1ons-such will be the aspect
of human society. Tho statistician
will register growing progress,
and the moralist gradual de-
cline; on the one hand, Il progress
of things; On the other, a decline OF
souls. The useful will take the place
of the beautiful, industry of art polit-
ical economy of religion, and arithme-
tic OF poetry. The spleen will become
the malady OF leveling age. Is this
indeed the fate reserved for the dem
ocratic era? May not the general
well-being be purchased too dearly at
such a price? The creative force
which in the beginning we see forever
tending to produce and multiply diff.
ferences. will it aftorward retrace its
steps and obliterate them one by one?
And equality, which in the dawn of ex-
istence is mere inertia, tvrpor, and
death, is it to become at last the
natural form of life? Or rather, above
the economic and political equal.

Even the most cursory observer Of
vegetable life must have been often
struck with the various forms of
leaves. Why they should be so vari-
ously formed does not. however, often
suggest itself, though there is a reason
for the special shape and texture of al
most every leaf in existence Plants,
such as grasses. daffodils and others
which usually grow in clusters, have
generally narrow leaves growing up
right, so as not to overshadow one
another. Other plants. of isolated
habits, have an arrangement of foliage
which secures to themselves the space
OF ground necessary for their develop
ment. The daisy, dandelion or shep-
herds purse-which may mostly be
seen IN pastures are examples
Of this. A circle of broad leaves
pressed against the ground, form
ing what is known us rosette growth,
etfectually bars the approach of any
other plant and keeps clear from all
other roots the space of ground neces-
sary to its own nutriment. Floating
leaves, and leaves of marsh plants,
are usually of simple outline, for, hav-
ing few competitors, they are not
liable to got in one anothcr's light
Submerged plants have mostly leaves
OF narrow segments-the reason for
which is not very we'll understood,
though it is assumed by naturalists
that it is for the purpose of exposing
as large surface as possible, in order
to extract the minute proportion Of
carbonic acid dissolved in vast bulk
of water.
Leaves on the boughs OF trees are
often much divided, so as to fold east
ly, to prevent their being rent and torn
by high winds, while the glossy sur
face of evergreens is intended to throw
off rain and dew, which might freeze
on them, and SO cause injury to the
tissues within. But the hairs on the
face of leaves are perhaps the most in
teresting study of all. With the aid
OF microscope, the beautiful and sys-
tematic arrangement of these can be
easily discerned, and their uses under.
stood. On many plants there are
glandular hal rs, to catch or deter small
creeping insects; on others there are
hairs set so as to act as effectively
against young animals as spike pail
SADIE against obtrusive boys; on others,
hairs which arrest the drops of moist
ure and force them down the leaf-stalk,
to moisten the earth about the roots:
while others are protected by series of
poisoned stings. The ordinary nettle
is an example of this, and the beauty
and ingenuity OF it's mechanism is truly
wonderful. Each nettle hair is armed
with brittle and pointed siliceous cap,
which breaks off in the wound; and the
poison is then able to flow out through
a tubular hair, from a reservoir at it's
base. There is scarcely form of leaf
but is specially modified by nature for
some particular purpose, and the dis
covery of this purpose is source of
very pleasant and profitable study

DRINKS FOR SUMMER.

How to Make Lem onade, Orangeade and
Pine Apple Wator.
There are few people indeed who do
not suffer more or less with thirst
during a hot summer. The tank or
pitcher of ice water is to be found in
nearly all homes during warm weather,
and too often is it the cause of serious
illness among the inmates Of the home.
Although the i'll effects of this may
not be felt by all, yet the majority of
the people would do we'll to let this
drink severely alone during very hot
weather, substituting something less
Injurious.
An old-fashioned drink that was
generally made on the farms, for the
men working in fields, is heartily to
be commended for summer. 10 a
quart of water add a tablespoonful OF
ground ginger, sweeten with molasses
Or brown sugar, and put into it a
good-sized piece of ice. This drink,
although so very commonplace, is
very reviving when person is
thirsty, and it is not at all injurious.
Ice-water we'll sweetened with mo-
lasse5 is liked by some, but, although
refreshing drink, many can not use
it frequently, owing to its laxative ef-
feet
Men working in factories, bakeries,
etc., have to be careful of their drinks
during the summer. and favorite one
hof 10 cd
them is made of oatmeal and ice
water. A cupful OF oatmeal to a gallon
of water is the usual quantities. This
is stirred every little while, and tits
claimed to be the least hurtful of any
drink for warm weather.
Lemonade is standard beverage.
An easy way to prepare this is to
squeeze the juice of the lemons into
glass, add sugar enough to sweeten
and put in bottle. Keep this on the
ice, and when drink is wanted, take
out the Quantity of juice desired, add
water to taste, and it is ready for use.
This juice may be prepared when the
housewife has a little leisure, and will
be found useful during the day.
Always shake the bottle we'll before
uncorking. so the sugar may not be
left in the bottom, Or you will have to
resweeten.
Orangeade can be made in the same
way by substituting oranges for lem
ons. and is liked better by some as q
p1easunter drink than lemonade.
1t is claimed that pleasant summer
drink can be made as follows; Take
the rind and core of a small pine apple,
put into stone jar and pour over it a
pint of cold water; cover the jar and
set in cool place for twenty-four
hours. Then strain and sweeten to
taste, bottle, cork and place away in a
cool place for three days. when it will
be ready for use.-Bost on Budget

What an Old Sportsman Relax ed to an In

qnisitive Reporter
81 have held my watch on several
kinds OF ducks and geese, hut the main
part of what I am going. TO tell you
comes from several old hunters who
have favored me with their experience,
and one Of these old-timors In a letter
says: 1 can tell you just about to the
slXty-third part OF dot now much
space any one of them can get over in
an hour. There is not u railroad train
that can hold q candle to the side OF
the slowest duck that flies.
1.-The canvas-baclz can distance the
whole duck family, if it lays itself out
to do it. When this duck is taking
things easy, enjoying little run around
the block, as it were, it goes through
the air at the rate of abuut eighty
miles an hour. If it has business
somewhere and has to get there, il
puts two miles back of it every minute,
and does it easily. II you don't be.
lieve this, just fire square at the leader
IN string OF canvas-bacl1s thatarc out
on business cruise some time. Duck
shot travels pretty fast, but if you hap,
pen to hit one you see if it is not the
fifth or sixth one back of tho drake OF
leader. A drake does not always lead,
but it generally does if there is ono in
the flock; If there are more they will
seldom take the lead. fyou wish to
bring down the leader you must aim
at a space OF at least eight feet ahead
of him, and if he falls you will find
him long distance, probably two or
three squares off.
1.-The mallard is a slow ore; it is all
he can do to make mile Il minute,
but he can do it if he wants to. His
regular rate is about forty-five miles
an hour.
1.-The black duck is a slow coach.
lie is about as good as the mallard,
and the tintail widgeon and wood duck
can not do much better. Tho red head
can go easily, and make ninety miles
an hour AS long as he likes, all day if
necessary. The blue-winged teal, and
its beautiful cousin, the green-winged
teal, can fly side by side for one hun
dred miles in an hour and take it easy.
The gadwale. you see them here
very seldom, though we'll known
further West on the Allegheny river
and at Kishammock, though looking
like the mallard is smarter duck and
harder to shoot. It can Nc ike ninety
miles IN an hour and not try hard.
MAY be you may think goose can't
fly. Why, it can double tho speed of
the fastest trains on any o. our rail-
roads. Of course mean " lid goose.
Well, it has a big corporation, but it
can get from feeding ground 70 feeding
ground so suddenly that it fools our
best wing shots.
If you see flock OF honl.ers NOV
ing along so high up that thsy seem to
be scraping the Sky with th.,ir backs,
you would not think that they are
making close on hundred miles an
hour, but they are. The wild goose is
not much on foot, but it mt ans bust
ness every time.
The broad-bill goose com,s next to
the canvas back duck in speed. Put
the two together and in an hour the
broad-bill would not be more than ten
miles behind. Wilmington (Del)
