Napoleon's Memory.


The duke of Wellington, the victor
of Waterloo, had great respect for
the fighting qualities Of Napoleon,
but none for his character. Once when
the little Corsican's feats of memory
was being referred to by an admirer,
who spoke of Napoleon's ability to
single out soldiers in reviews, and call
upon them by name to step out OF the
ranks for praise or promotion, We'll
lington said:
''This is a great mistake. I'll tell
you how he managed it. One OF his
generals, Lobau, used to get ready
for him list of soldiers to be called
out from each regiment. When Ma
poleon rode up opposite q
regiment he would call out the names
OF the soldiers to be honored, and the
men would step forward-that was
all. / also doubt the power of his
memory" continued the Duke, 'from
the looseness and inaccuracy of his
statements. In his works. moan
all that he has ever written-you
never find a thing related precisely as
it happened. He seemed to have no
clear or distinct recollection: scarcely
once has he ever trippeds into truth"
Wellington was accustomed to say,
however, that the genius Of Napoleon
added the strength of 10000 men
to any army he was leading in bat
tie.

evening he arrested couple Of young

"And who do you suppose one OF

ingly put at this stage of the story.
"Givs it up" was OF course the
answer.
"Why, it was mono other than Louis
Napoleon, who was afterward the
emperor of France, Napoleon Ill. He
was then q bartender over in HO-
boken, and had come over to New
York that night on a little racket.
He drank too much and got noisy, as
Frenchmen will, so I had to arrest
him. He took it very good natured-

to my satisfaction. He seemed very

A Captive Samson.

The natives of the Canary Islands
whom the Spanish conquerors found
there were a large and powerful race.
1T is said to have been no uncommon
thing for man to take an OK by the
horn with one hand, and STAY him
with the other. ......
Perhaps the most famous of these
strong men was Adargoma, of Grand
Canary, prisoner of war, who could
wrestle for two consecutive hours,
and having once been thrown under.
most, squeezed his antagonist between
his legs and arms until his bones be-
gan to crack.
One day in Seville, Adargoma was
visited by brawny youth, who was
anxious to try bout with him.
my good FRIEND" said Adargoma,
"as we are going to wrestle together,
6t is only reasonable that we should
begin by drinking something"
+; A large bowl OF wine having been
brought, he took this in one hand,
and continued to address the chaljen-
ger: "If with both your arms you can
ioverpower one of mine, so as to him
der me from drinking every drop OF
this wine, we will try our strength to-
gether. If not you may return to
your home"
The struggle took place, and Adar.
gonna by degrees drained the bowl in
the coolest manner without spilling q
drop of the wine. His one hand was
more than match for the Others

The Dog Did Not Winca

Animals, as q rule, understand
who there friends are. The Wash
ington Post tells the story of a dog
whose eyes had been treated by an
oculist, to his great relief. The
trouble returned, anu the dogs mas
ter determined to take him to the
oculist q second time. Film Flam
seemed to know where he was going,
Tor on entering the square where tho
oculist had his Office. he raced ahead
OF his master and up the steps, whore he
had been but once before, and on the
door beng opened, bolted straight
for the treatment-room, instead OF
waiting his turn down stairs, as two
legged patients learn to do to their
sorrow, and impatience. This time
the treatment was a zinc solution
that was very severe and brought
the water in streams from the pa
tents eyes, but he took it with his
nose in the air, never wincing, and
the only sign of feeling he made was
to hold ont one paw pathetically for
HE masters hand.
