ernoon encountered a very misers-
BILE beggar, to whom he gave 2 sous
and passed on. A wealthy Partisan

Napoleon's Arithmetic.

Napoleon used to make mistakes
in figures, absolute and positive as
arithmetic has to be. He could have
worked out the most complicated
mathematical problems, and yet he
could rarely total up sum correct
ly. It is fair to add that these er-
rors were not always made without
intention. For example, in calcu-
lating the number Of men who were
to make up his battalions, regiments
or divisions, he always used to in
crease the sum total. One can hard
ly believe that in doing SO he wanted
to deceive himself, but he often
thought it useful to exaggerate the
strength of his armies. 1t was no
use pointing out any mistake Of this
kind. He refused to- admit it and
obstinately maintained his volun-
tary arithmetical error: = Memoirs

Certain Death Turks In Many Of The
Beautiful Plants.

Beautiful as flowers appear to the
eye, there turks behind their attrac-
tiveness certain death. They may
be handled with impunity and their
odors enjoyed without any danger,
but let any one taste the juice of
some of the sweetest, and with every
drop he is taking deadly poison into
his system. Even the bulbs of such
dainty flowers as the snowdrop, mar
cissus, hyacinth and the jonquil are
poisonous.
The oxalis also is not safe thing
to put between the lips, and all the
lobelias will produce dizziness and
general disease. The monks hood
and the beautiful foxglove are no1-
ious affairs, from which powerful
drugs are obtained, more than q
few drops Of their extracts being
usually fatal dose.
Certain of the crocuses if eaten,
even if nothing is swallowed but the
juice, produce vomiting. The bulb
of the intricately beautiful lady's
slipper poisons externally as the
noxious ivy, dogwood and sumac-
The quaint old jack-in-the-pulpit,
although not garden plant, is an
other enemy to health and life, and
so also is the marvellous Queen
Anne's lace, which now and then
will creep in through the paling
and looks so enchanting when far
and wide it embroiders field and
roadside.
The laughing little buttercup,
that might be a drop of visible sum
light, is by no means as innocent as
it looks. The cow in the pasture
knows enough to avoid it. That and
all its cousins, the rich, profuse
peonies, the dazzling blue larkspurs
and the rest, are full of toxic prop
critics.
The oleander tree that is set OUT
doors when spring comes and that
lines the streets of various Of our
southern cities is another hive Of
deadly poison.
The superb catalpa tree, towering
with its great leaves and its masses
of white and fragrant flowers, is a
charming thing in the garden, but
its bark is exceedingly injurious,
and the laburnum, that looks like
a fountain of gold leaping into the
sun, is poison in leaf and flower and
seed, and even the grass beneath it
is best thrown away when cut in
stead of being fed to cattle.

Souarinq the Circle.

The oldest mathematical book in
the world, which dates some 1000
wears back and which was written in
Egypt, contains a rule for squaring
the circle. The rule given is to short
en- the diameter by ninth, and on
the line so obtained to construct a
square. And this, though far from
being exact, is near enough for most
practical purposes. Mathematicians
have long been convinced that the
solution was impossible, but it is
only in recent years that they were
able to demonstrate this. A Ger
man professor named Landmann
published in 1882 a demonstration,
which was accepted by the seien-
tifc world as satisfactory.

over or upper portion Of the loin;
also because King James l., when
