N.noIeon Had Dog Teeth.

''In the worlds history said Charles
Roberts of Buffalo, at the Hotel Manhat-
tan, there are three characters who in
the popular mind stand pre-eminent-Al-
exander the Great, Caesar and Napoleon.
Napoleon lived so near our own time as
to be almost within the memory of liv-
ing men, and there are plenty of men
today in France who heard of Napoleon
from their fathers, who lived in the stir
ring times connected with his name.
There is a curious fact in connection
with Napoleon's personal appearance that
] have never been able to find mention
of in any of the biographies, and that is
that two upper front teeth were very
long and Tapped over the lower ones to
an unusual extent, giving him most pc
culiar appearance when smiling. These
teeth-the two upper incisors, on either
side of the mesial ordinarily form
a line that meets with the correspond
ing teeth in the lower jaw, but in Ma
poleon's case they over-lapped. This in
formation came to my father directly
from the son of Napoleon's dentist, who
made a memorandum of the fact. '-New

What Ocean Travellers Eat.

following from Ainslee's Magazine:
Everything about the kitchen of a great
steamship is on a most elaborate scale.
The range weighs many tons The vari-
Gus soup caldrons are constructed to
hold twenty gallons. Loaves are baked
by the hundred, joints roasted by the
dozen, each in a separate and specially
constructed compartment. To serve the
meals thousands Of plates, pieces of sill
yer, cups and saucers and napkins are
required and the average breakage in
the galley Of a big ship amounts to a
barrel G. china every day.

Eggs a la President KRUGER.

Take hard-boiled eggs and slice off the
white at one end Sc that the yolk can
be taken out. Season this with pepper
put back into the whites. Cover the
eggs with aspic jelly, tinted different col
ors-violet, yellow, pink, blue, red and so
on: There are harmless preparations for
coloring purposes. The eggs will stand
up on a plate, placed on the end which
has been cut. Cover with whipped cream,
in which are a few chopped truffies. Or.
instead of using aspic jelly, roll the eggs
in a bowl in which are an egg or two
well beaten up with little cold milk
then roll in fresh bread crumbs and fry
for few minutes in very hot fat. Take
them up with a skinner and serve hot.

FORTUNE IN A WHEAT FIELD.

money they have in cash in the bank

OIL CROP DECLINING.
Beet Sugar is Being Raised in New
York Instead.

The beet-sugar industry is attaining
wonderful proportions in various sections
of this country. A few years ago III some
sections of central New York the pepper
mint-oil crop was the leading feature,
and brought more money into the hands
Of the farmers than did the apple crop
But now the peppermint crop is mostly
a thing of the past in that section, and
the mint stills are kept in operation by
the crop of q few acres near them.
The beet-sugar crop has driven the
mint crop westward, for the farmers find
it more profitable to raise sugar beets.
Ten years ago every community IN cen
trail New York had a resident who was
getting rich by sitting mint, but these
mills are now falling into disuse. Lyons,
Y. Y, was the center of the mint market
of the world, but that honor is now
among the claims of distant Western
cities. The fame of the Wayne county
oils was known near and far and took
the worlds prize at the Columbian expo
sition i'll 1898. The Pan-American ex-
position will bring new locality into
similar prominence in all probability
Thus, the peppermint crop, like the
march of civilization, has gone west
