Napoleon was no epicure He usu
ally drank nothing but diluted Cham
bertln, and was no Judge of wine. He
liked plain dishes-boiled or roast
chicken, mutton chops, grilled neck OF
mutton, haricot beans, or lentils. His
table manners were not very refined.
He would use his finger in lieu OF fork
or spoon and would dip his bread in
the sauce, the dish being then passed
round to guests, who had to dispense
with squeamishness. The bread had to
be particularly good He ate fast. quit
ting the table in twelve minutes and
leaving Josephine and the company to
take their time When he dined alone
he commonly took only eight or ten
minutes Indigestion was the natural
consequence Of this speed, and he had
sometimes TO stretch himself at full
length on the carpet before the pain
abated. He detested physic, and pro-
fessed to disbelieve in it. a subject of
playful discussion with his doctors.
Constant never knew him to be Obliged
TO Keep his bed a whole day. He was
very sensitive to cold, and had fires and
warm beds all the year-TempIe Bar.

FISH TO MILL TINE.
Where Five Hundred Men Idle With
Nothing Else to Do

->OtIiIlS E1iSt W III.
Probably 500 men fish every day II
the waters Of the District of Columbia
This statement was made last week by
a river man, whose duties take him
daily over the best part of the river
frontage above and below the city.
Il don't mean professional fisher

day old fishermen. men who hang out &

have watched it for years. and YOU
would be surprised to see the number
of men in a big city like Washington
who apparently have no other object
IN life than to roost all day on wharf
or rock and watch a float. Anv fair
day, If you will come with me on my
tug, | will guarantee to count between
400 and 500 of them, scattered from the
quarries above Georgetown to the Ar
senal Point and on lid the eastern
branch. There is not a wharf but has
one or more lines hanging from it,
every old scow holds a fisherman or
two, the long bridge piers add their
quota, and up river there are more in
boats and ashore.
Most of them, he continued. fish
because they've nothing else to do. A
few of them are old frequenters, fish
ing manlacs, | reckon. Why, some old
parties have spent years at it, I've
spotted lots of them who never miss a
day till the river freezes and then they
would chop hole in the ice and keep
on fishing if there was a chance of
catching anything. But reckon most
OF them are just loafng fishing is
loafing, you know, when it amt a
mans business. Then it's work; good,
hard and a-plenty," he added.
AS l told you. I've been watching
this fishing game here on the river for
a long time, and I have concluded its
mostly the men who are out of a job;
the Kind that are always out of job,
you know. They pass the time at it.
IL don't cost much. if anything, and
after they learn the ropes they can
catch their own bait. Fishing tackle
IS cheap enough, and after awhile they

rainy days they'll rig up some sort of

N the rain They don't seem to mind
l IN the least, but put in all the day
light with line in their hands.
Yes, sir, the river front is q good
hing to judge the times by. Along
Turing the hard times some years ago
here was an army of these chaps. And {
t was a good thing the fishing was t
'retty good those days. too, reckon.
