u Was Difficult Job For Constant,
the Emperor's Barber.
Constant, Napoleon's barber, tells of
the many difficulties he experienced in
shaving the emperor. Napoleon would
take his place in the chair, conversing
and gesticulating. Suddenly he would
call for paper or turn rapidly to look
behind him.
The utmost caution was necessary
on the part Of his barber to keep from
cutting him, vet in spite Of all these
restless movements not once while
Constant was shaving the emperor did
he do SO.
Sometimes when in the chair he
would sit stiff and motionless as a
stone, and Constant tells that he could
not get him to move his head either
way In order to facilitate the opera
ton Of shaving.
Napoleon had singular within Of
having only one side Of his face lath-
cred and shaved at a time. When he
shaved himself, which was seldom, he
Invariably cut himself badly. This was
due to his restless impatience, and,
though he was scrupulously neat in his
person, he would, after hewing slice
from his cheek, give up the operation
IN disgust and 60 about with part Of
his face unshaved until he had found
his faithful barber.

In all countries in which the witch

course learnedly on the diabolical
properties of 'hemlock digg'd L dark
and of "slips Of yew silvered iii the

to have had their favorite flowers as
well as plants, and In England at the
present time foxgloye is spoken Of as
witch bells'' and harebells as witch
es' thimbles. J" The common ragwort
Is well known as the witches horse :,
the tradition being that they mounted
rank growths of that species Of -weed
and rode the Skies" Just as the dame

In the familiar picture. IN Germany
and throughout northern Europe it is
the belief that witches float from place
to place on beds of hay, composed
largely of witches blossoms and s.devil
spikes, this last being species Of
dWarfed slough grass. st Johns wort,
which is now SO popular for shoulder
and buttonhole bouquets on st. Johns
eve, was formerly, worn for the ex-
press purpose Of averting the crafts
and subtleties Of the witches, bogies,
ghosts and spirits which the European
peasantry believed walked abroad on
that night of witching mysteries. -

SUSPICIOUS BIRDS.
Easy TO Make sparrows Show Their
u Fear st Trap.

Fear Of 4 Trap.
One winter day made an expert
ment with sparrows to see exactly how
far their natural suspicion would hold
out against hunger. had often no
ticed that If one put a little bit of
string, a large button or any strange
object among breadcrumbs the spar
rows would not touch the bread. They
feared trap, Starlings are less sus-
picious In. this way. If they care
about the bread at all, they are more
trustful and do not make any fuss
about some small foreign object. But
thought hard weather might make all
the difference even to sparrows.
So I put long piece of apple peel
among the bread. 1t looked quite good
: to eat, but might be taken by q very
suspicious bird for something Of the
nature of string or tape, which spar
rows seem to regard with particular
distrust. Can they regard 1t as an
emblem Of captivity? Directly the
bread was thrown on the ground about
fifty sparrows perched in a tree above
1t. They looked at 1t very glumly, and
not one ventured to come down. Cen
orally they would be devouring the
bread within a few seconds. For a lit
tie oyer three hours crowd Of spar
rows watched the bread with the ter
rible piece Of apple peel lying among
II, but 1t remained untouched. Then
one sparrow made up his mind to take
the risk. He was soon followed by all
the others. In twenty minutes the
bread was gone. But they had wasted
over three hours. st. James Gazette.

What Rules the World.

Many years ago John Brougham,
Lester Wallack Artemus Ward and
others used to meet after the play at
Windhurst's, In Park row, in New
York. One night the question, What
rules the world r. arose, and various
opinions were expressed William Ross
Wallace, who was present, retired be-
fore long and some time later called
Thomas J. Leigh from the room and
handed to him poem which he had
Just written. Mr.. Leigh read 1t aloud
to the company, and Mr.. Brougham
made happy little speech Of acknowI-
edgment. The thing was entitled
What Rules the World. !" and the first
stanza ran:
They say that man is mighty.
He governs land and sea,
| He Yields mighty scepter
Ger lesser powers that be.
But mightier power and stronger
Man from his throne has hurled,
And the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world.

Graphite or black lead Is formed IN:

period In which black leads was first

lead, but the metal was formed Into

used to make the mark. IL an orna-

therein illuminated designs, usually

without resting. The little bluebird
