Health and Longevity.

Some wise advice to secure health
and longevity is found in an old and
unidentified print: Il. Take advice
from none; consult only yourself. 2.
Take your digestion into your con-
tidence and place yourself at it's dis
posal, listening to no suggestion from
your palate, which is greedy and
selfish. 3. Avoid all books on diet
and sleep in a room with the windows
open. 4. Take a cheerful view of
your surroundings and allow as little
as possible to disturb your serenity.
Above all, avoid violent changes in
your mode of life, for when certain
set Of rules has been followed for a
number of years it is dangerous, es-
pecially as age increases, to attempt
to force obedience to a new set"

Marks That Warn,

1 nave often wondered" said a
man to Underwood Armstrong. the
well known builder, why the win
doWs OF a new building are daubed
with soap or paint as soon as thew
are put IN. l have taken notice of
new buildings for years and never
knew 1t to fail, whether on business
streets or away out in the suburbs.
IL can't be done to prevent people
from looking in, because the marks
usually consist of rough circle or
cross In the center of each window
pane. wish you would explain the
mystery"
"Thatis easy enough" replied Mr..
Armstrong. 1T is done to save the
windows"
TO save the windows?"
Yes. You see, the men atwork
IN new building are often careless
and get into the habit of throwing
things out of the windows or poking
around with long boards and things
that stick out through the window
sash. Now, unless they know win
dow has been put in they perhaps
wouldn't see it, especially plate glass
windows. Or they may be told and
forget. During all the time the build
ing has been in course of erection
there has been no glass in the win
doWs, and the glass is liable to get
smashed, either from the inside or
outside, unless people know it is
there. So they daub soap or paint
on the windows. It's the same thing
as saying, Look out or you'll break
the glass. '"-Detroit News

Personal Appearances of Napoleon.

Captain Maitland gives the follow
ing description of the person of Ma
poleon as he appeared on board the
Bellerophon in 1915: He was then a
remarkably strong, we'll built man,
about feet Z inches high, his limbs
particularly well formed, with fine
ankle and very small foot, of which
he seemed very vain, as he always
wore while on board the ship silk
stockings and shoes. His hands were
also small and had the plumpness of
a woman's rather than the robust
ness of a mans His eyes were light
gray, his teeth good, and when he
smiled the expression of his counte-
nance was highly pleasing. When
under the influence of disappoint-
ment, however, it assumed a dark
and gloomy cast. His hair was a
very dark brown, nearly approaching
to black, and though little thin on
top and in front had not a gray hair
among it. His complexion was a
very uncommon one, being of light
sallow color, different from any other
l ever met with From his being
corpulent, he had lost much of his
activity.

STORY OF NAPOLEON.
His Generosity Extended to an Old Man
Whose Sons Life Was In Danger.

w nose sons Lie was In Danger.
On an incognito visit to the depart
ments with Josephine, Napoleon
once entered humble cottage where
sat venerable man in deep medita-
ton, with his arms folded on his
chest. plain and virtuous old man, -
murmured Bonaparte, thou enjoy
est peace under thy roof. Remorse,
suspicious, the projects of ambi-
ton, trouble not thy delicious sim
plicity-'tis the simplicity of limo
cence and goodness.
He was wrong. The old man was
in agony. His son, a soldier, was
about to be tried for some act of in
subordination before a court martial
and was likely to be condemned to
death. He begged the intercession
OF his visitor. One of his daughters
added her entreaty. "Speak to Nine.
Bonaparte," she said. people say
that she is SO kind and so indulgent
that her husband never refuses her
anything"
You are right, replied the con-
sui, with a smile. ''She manages so
well that her advice is always fol
lowed, especially if its object is to
save some one who is unfortunate.
You cannot do better than to pro-
nounce the name of Josephine, for it
will secure the pardon of your broth
er. Nay, will myself solicit Bona
parte in his favor and endeavor to
have him enter the consular guard. "
Then Josephine placed ring on
the girls finger, pledged herself to
provide for her dowry when she
should be married, and Bonaparte
added: 81 will give Charles his first
pair of epauiets. He shall receive
them on the field of battle as a re-
ward of his bravery"
The visitors went out without tell
ing their names. But the son was
saved and the daughter got her dow
ry. All such promises were held as
sacred by Napoleon. He was always
displaying hisgenerosity in innumer-
able ways and never seemed to for
get anything. Perhaps this charac-
teristic did more than any other to
endear him to the common people
as well as to the soldiers in the
ranks. 1t was folly for any one to
tell these soldiers, ''Bonaparte makes
you food for bullets" Their answer
was: 'The Bourbons would have
made us food for poverty and starva-
ton. Now at least we have decent
food, we are fairly well clad, and
there is not one of us who can read
who may not aspire even to a
throne. Chicago Herald.

An Effective Muzzle.

The level headed horse, turned out
to Craze, seldom lets more than five
minutes pass before he discovers that
the choice young shoots of the care
fully trimmed hedge or the foliage
of the valuable fruit trees is a lot
more palatable than grass. This
doesn't apply to horses only. There
fore a native of New South Wales
thinks fit to call attention to his au-
tomato muzzle, which offers no in
convenience to the animal so long as
it eats its legitimate food, but which
closes and remains closed when the
head is raised to nibble anything
above the level of the shoulders.

Roman Standards,


In the Roman army there was q very
highly developed system of military en-
signs, which. just as among modern ma
tions, were regarded not merely as a
rallying point for given body Of men,
but as an emblem Of the state, and were
therefore surrounded with veneration
which degenerated into idolatry. From
a tactical point Of view, the Roman
standards were of more Importance than
the flag at the present day, for tho
movements Of the troops were entirely
regulated by them.
According as they were raised and
carried forward, planted in the ground
or turned toward the rear, in obedience
to the sounds Of the horns of the ''cor-
nicines," the army broke up its camp
and marched or retreated and halted.
In the camp the standards were planted
before the generals tent, where their
presence sanctified the spot as though it
were temple and rendered it q safe de-
pository for the booty collected by the
legion. It was to the standards the SOL
diers swore allegiance, and the first
step Of q pretender who sought to be-
come emperor was to seize tho stand
ards, as he thereby secured the fidelity
Of the legion.-Au the Year Round
