At Compiegne, one afternoon, when the flower of the court was idling round his vingt-et-un table, Mile dc Montijo, seated at the emperor's right consulted him from time to time as to her play.
 She found two picture cards in her hand, counting 20 out of 21 best points.
 Stand on that" advised Napoleon ''it is very high"
 Mo- answered Mile de Montijo, 'T want all or nothing"
 The court ladies were in full slan- der of her when Napoleon had made up his mind to marriage. They had extraordinary manners, those first la dies of the Second Empire court. One evening at Compiegne, when Eugenie was going in to dinner on the arm of Colonel de Toulongeon, slight con- fusion permitted him to whisk her ahead of Mme. Fortoul, wife of the minister
 Howl" she exclaimed audibly to her cavalier, do you permit that - creature to push past mel"
 The next morning Mile de Montijo, with tears in her eyes, stood sadly on the terrace, apart from the others. Ma poleon, who had sought her. asked her the cause of her sorrow. q must leave him her long list of sights and in- suits. The emperor listened to the beautiful girl, tranquil and smiling Then, when she had finished, he tore a few green twigs from a bush, deftly twisted them into crown and said loud, that all might hear, as he placed it upon her head

Austrian Nuns of Noble Blood Lead
 Pleasant Lives.

The first lady" in the Austro-Hun- garian court is now the abbess of the Theresian Convent of the Noble La dies in Prague, position which is always held by an archduchess. The Archduchess Maria Annunciata, the present abbess, who is a niece of the emperor, has succeeded to the position of first lady through the widowhood of the Archduchess Maria Josefa, wife of the late Archduke Otto. The noble nuns of Prague live a very different life from what is the usual conception of convent life. They play leading part in the society of the city and are not even compelled to live in the ab- bey where each is provided with two rooms and service Handsome car riages with liveried servants are also provided for their use, and they have box in the opera. Each noble lady is paid $500 year, while the abbess has a salary of s10,000. When they attend court balls they must wear black evening dress with ribbon of light blue.

When a person gets up in the morn- ing with a dull headache and tired, stretchy feeling, it's an almost certain indication that the liver, or bowels, or both, are decidedly out of order
 At such times Nature, the wisest and best of doctors, takes this means to give warning that she needs the help and gentle assistance which can best be obtained from that old fam fly remedy, Brandreth's Pills, which has been in use for over a century.
 They are the same fine laxative tonic pill your grandparents used when doctors were few and far be- tween, and when people had to have a remedy that could absolutely be de- pended upon.

Odd Thinqs in Animals.

Unlike most animals, horses have no eyebrows and hares are minus eye lids. Consequently the eyes of the latter can not be shut and a thin membraneous substance covers them when asleep. The eye of the owl is also peculiar, seeing that it is i'm movably fixed in it's socket and can not stir in any direction. To comPen- sate for this seeming disadvantage it can turn it's head almost completely around without moving it's body.
 If you were to keep frogs mouth open many minutes it would soon die, as, owing to it's peculiar construction, it can breathe only with the mouth closed. On the other hand, fishes are compelled to keep opening and closing their mouths in order to give their respiration organs full play.
 A curious fact about the eel is that it has less life in it's head than in it's tail, consequently, when killing an eel the fisherman smashes Its tail; it also has two hearts. Snakes usually have their teeth in the head, but one varie- ty in Africa, whose principal food is eggs, is provided with substitute for them in it's stomach.
