A new Private IAfe which Defends the
Act of Separation.
A great deal OF sentiment has been
wasted over Josephine and her di-
sorcc, but the author OF a new pri.
yate life Of Bonaparte by Simeon and
translated from the French BY Arthur
Levy shows that Napoleon was fully
justified, apart from reasons OF state,
In taking the steps of separation. At
the tine OF his marriage and for a
long time afterward he worshiped
her, bat she was always cold and in.
different seldom writing to him dur
Ing his absence, continually and Sc
eretly contracting debts for jewelry
and dress, and finally compromising
her reputation by her relations with
an officer, Hippolite Charles who had
been expelled from the army OF Italy
by the Emperor. This scandal oc.
cured while Napoleon was in Egypt,
and was kept from him as long as
possible. He was at last told OF 1t by
Iunot, and determined on an i'm.
mediate divorce. On his return he
was met by Josephine with such a
show of humiliation aud sorrow and
with SO many VOWS Of future devotion
That he forgave her and continued to
live with her, although his love for
ler was dead. Later a genuine af7
lection seems to have grown up be-
tween them, so that at last, when
The divorces vas decided upon it was
matter Of pain to both. Napoleon
never, even after his marriage with
Marie Louise, lost interest in Jose.
phine The second marriage was
wen ore unhappy than the first.
Marie Louise was a weak creature,
with no principle, and when the En-
peror was banished to Elba, she took
lp witha lover with whom she had
long had relations. Both wives,
whom he had striyen by every means
ia his power to make happy, deceived
him, with this difference; while
Josephine was unfaithful to him
from the start. Marie Louise only
deceived him after several years Of
marriage. In each of these unions
be tried to found an exemplary and
peaceful home go erned by the SIM
pliest habits. Neither the splendor
II his career nor the pride of State
had any in1ue ce upon his character
S husband and father.
Several chapters are devoted to the
elation of what Napo.eon did for
lis officers and relatives, and the in
gratitude shown by them in return.
We are inclined to think that MIR.
Levy does not sufficiently regard both
I;des OF the question, AS a general
thing when Napoleon bestowed a
lavor upon anyone of his relatives it
vas saddled with conditions which
Sere often dificult and irritating;
ind, besides, any reel pient of his
avors was never allo wed to forget

The Secret Of Digestion.

THE secret Of digestion is modera-
tion," said an old man the other day,
who at seventy-eight has the com,
plexion of a girl and the relish for
food of a schoolboy. SIT seems absurd
to me that persons should suddenly
discover that many articles of food
upon which our ancestors lived to a
green old age are extremely detri.
mental to health and longevity. ]
have never considered what I ought to
eat, but I have made it a rule of my
life to always leave the table wanting
just a little more.
"I did not leave the home roof,
which was on o farm, until I was
nearly thirty years old, and it was my
habit from November to April to eat a
piece of mince pie every night Just be-
fore going to bed. 1t was rather a
small piece, but I invariably took il
and do not recall ever having ever o
bad dream in consequence.
"And 1 think, too, that digestion is
like salvation-to be worked out in
dividually. We are not all Baptists or
Methodists, why must everybody be a
vegetarian or some other food crank?
When I got away from the mince-pie
country, missing it, I took fruit in its
place. A friend who saw me eating an
apple one night hurled at me the old
saw: Fruit is gold in the morning,
silver at noon, lead at night Non
sensei' I cried, and retorted with
another provery, what is one mans
meat is another mans poison and I've
continued to eat something, usually
fruit, every night of my life. New

In reply TO the question In wha,
engagements he considered himself
to have been IN the greatest danger
of losing his life, Napoleon once said

had three horses shot under him
while at the siege OF Acre, during tn

than four in the same manner.
During the last days Of his life
when captivity, disappointment and

their work, it is said that the agon,
OF his fatal disease drew from hil
on many occasions the pitlful cry Of
"Why did the cannon balls spar

During his long military careel
Napoleon fought sixty battles, whilt
CT sar fought but fifty. In the early
part of his career he was utterl!
reckless Of danger while on the bat
tlefleld, and this spirit Of fearless
ness..conLributed largely to the low
end esteem in which he was held b!
his armies. There was a curious be

that he carefully, il not in a cow

that like Achilles, he was we'll .nigt

enjoined, once for all, upon the part
