NAPOLEON's HABITS.
The Great Warrior Was Fond of Per-
 fume and Clean Linen.

It is pleasant to learn if one has Ma poleon l. on the hero list that he had very dainty habits In personal mat ters; that he was fastidiously clean in his person, according to an article in a French contemporary. and poured eau de cologne into the water he washed in, then sponged his head with per fume and finally poured the remainder of the contents of the flask over his neck and shoulders He was also ex- trayagantly fond of clean linen and during his campaigns had relays of it sent to different places. In those days 1t did not cost farm to have starched things laundered, for, in account with a famous laundress in Paris, the en- peror's linen for one wash amounted to 3s6 pieces and cost only a trife over S20.
 This strikes an American as very reasonable, but his majesty never wore any article but once, and. as he always uudressed himself without aid from his valet, his garments were literally cast to the four corners of the room. Napoleon's bill for eau de cologne, however. exceeded the washerwoman's by large majority It is q relief to learn that the Little Corporal was so much dude. Some of his predecessors in the Tuileries were not blessed with such excellent habits if history is to be relied upon.

How Could She Do lt7

The homely forms of speech used by the country people with whom little Edith and her mother boarded last summer were frequently very puzzling to the child.
 One evening the farmers wife, in talking for few minutes with Edith's mother, remarked that. as she was very tired that night, she would Ego to roost with the chickens"
 When Edith's bedtime arrived lit tie later the youngster was nowhere to be found. After considerable search she was discovered sitting on a large stone near the chicken house, quietly watching the fowl as they came in one by one.
 Edith" called her mother, what are you doing there? I've been look ing for you everywhere; it's time to go to bed"
 T know. mother" was the reply, but they're nearly all in now. so she'll be here soon, guess"
 "Who are in and who will be there2 What on earth are you talking about, child" asked the mystified mother.
 Why" explained Edith, rather im- patiently.s"you know Mrs. -- said she was going to roost with the chickens tonight. and I'm waiting to see how she does 1t"

Halevy and the Due dc Morny,

It may not be generally known in what circumstances Halevy owed his advancement in the French civil serv- Ice to the Due de Morny. The duke, an amateur of the arts. had begun to write the libretto of comic opera of which Offenbach was to provide the music He found that he had not the time-or perhaps that he had not the talent-to finish It. He sought collaborator, and Halevy came to the rescue and Kept his secret. When. therefore, the office of the ministry of Algeria. which he held. was suppressed he had no hesita- tion In asking his august patron for the post which he sought on the Journal Oficiel. "The very thingr exclaimed the duke. There is six months vaca- ton when the chamber is not sitting. so that you will have plenty of time to write for the stage" And he gave him note to the head of the depart ment. consisting of the simple words. Make arrangements to give the bearer the post for which he will ask you."- Westminster Gazette

How MxekoH Wa. Revealed.

The late Professor Walter A. Wyck- off of Princeton had passion for knowledge at first hand and will be best remembered as the college pro lessor who studied labor conditions by becoming himself laborer. Starting in 1891 in Connecticut with no money and with q suit of overalls, he worked his way through nearly every state in the Union after the fashion of the floating laborers of this country, 60 many of whom ultimately become tramps. Wherever there was q possl- bility of work he applied for 1t, wheth- CT it were digging ditches, wrecking houses or factory work. For awhile his ineognito usually worked well. but as soon as his fellow laborers saw him at table they at once began to suspect him. His manner of eating. his way of holding knife and fork. at once set them speculatirg. Once he was sesn drinking tea at a fellow laborers house in Chicago. He liSied the saucer from the table, held 1t in his hand and forget himself 60 far as to drink with out noise. T knowed then" his host afterward said. "thnt he was a swell mssqEerading"-Harper's Weekly.

A Bishop In Anaer.

It is popularly supposed that bishops possess the power of self control in a perfect degree. but sometimes the best of them disclose the fact that after all, they are but men.
 On one occasion a certain lord bish. op, eloquent and saintly. whose name is almost household word in Eng. land, was preaching at the opening of new church and for a few days stayed at country house in the neigh borhood. This bishop was excessively fond of game of billiards and could hold his own on the cloth against the majority of amateurs.
 During this visit his lordship played several quiet games with his host, but one morning had prolonged run of bad luck. which so exasperated him that at last he entirely lost his temper and in his rage snapped the cue in two across his knee. ..---.
 This mad action seemed to bring the bishop to his senses, and with profuse regrets he apologized to his host for his conduct. declaring that he would not have had it happen for the world.
 But the host coolly replied:
 "I must beg you. my lord. to think no more about the matter. am really glad that it occurred. as for many years have been wishful to see what bishop was like when he wanted to use bad language. ."-London Tit-Bits.

A Rich Woman's Closet.

"The nearest approach to a Blue. beard's closet that I ever saw" said a woman the other day, was in the country house of one of New York's s most fashionable women.
 Il didn't know her, but in queer, roundabout By l was once shown over the house and saw Mrs. v.'s pri- vate apartments. pretty nearly faint ed when I walked into a room where a dozen or more women were apparently hanging from the ceiling.
 When l came to l found that what l had taken to be choice collection of female corpses was really a lot of manikins. Mrs. Y. had them made after her own measurements. and her choicest costumes were kept on them when not in use.
 Her maid would fasten gown on to a manikin, put something over 1t to keep the dust off and then by means of rope and pulley draw the whole thing to the ceiling. It was fine ar engagement. but looked as If Bluebeard had been around."-New York Sun.

Samoa's Talking Man,

Samoa's talking man. or tolafali, is character. All the affairs of state of the village in which he holds office are carried upon his shoulders. In or. dinary he is the chief adviser, per suader, convincer and restrainer of the leading chiefs. Having the gift of elo- quence, he makes the most of 1t. He enjoys immunity n,om many things. He cannot be spoken of in ordinary terms. If it should be necessary to speak of his eyes or his mouth or his limbs. special honorable words must be used. words which attach to him alone and have never been applied to the personal parts of ordinary men. As he stands to deliver his soft, per suasive. mellifiuous oratory. with stan of office in his hand, any one can see that he is man of great importance. or if this is not apparent from his at titude 1t may be gathered from the at tention paid to his utterances by gray haired chiefs and by youth and maid ems. If the talking man is clever fellow and understands his business, he is the chief ruling power in bis tribe, although the nominal headship is always vested in chief or patri- archal figurehead.

EcrIy Lamps and Mieks.

It would 5e hazardous to conjecture what the first wick consisted of, but when We come to consider the iron lamp, or "crusie," We know that the wick commonly used was the pith of the rush. which was gathered and partially stripped of its outer green covering. cut into proper lengths, dried and tied up into bundles ready for use The iron lamp was hammered out of one piece of iron in a stone mold. This was usually done by the blacksmith. and the molds are still to be seen in museums. in the hands of private col lectors and no doubt at some of the country hlacksmiths' shops They are of one uniform shape. with some slight varieties. The lamp consists of two cups, one suspended above and inside the other. The suspender is so fxeG and notched as to enable the upper cup. which holds the oil and wick, tc be shifted to keep the oil constantly il contact with the wick. The lower cul, catches the drip of the oil. which can be easily replaced in the upper cup b, lifting it off until the oil is poured into it. The upper cup has sometimes movable lid.-Chambers' Journal

The Rain Was Hot.

Mrs. Goitt had lgen waiting for Q week or more to give her rear porch n good scrubbing. but she was always afraid of mourning the keen dispeas- ure of the people in the fiat below, who. 1t seemed, were never of their porch and who would get all the drip pings of her scrubbing operation.
 When 1t rained. though, Mrs. Goitt saw what she thought was her oppor- tunity. The people down below surely would not be out on the porch during the rainstorm, and all the water that dripped down would be attributed tc the rain. She filled q bucket with boil ing hot water. threw in a sallow cake of soap and got busy.
 But she had reckoned wrong for the people down below were on their porch enjoying the shower. In minute Mrs. Goitt heard womans voice below saying: Why. Martha. the rains com ing through from the porch above. The roof must leak"
 And then Martha observed, with a gasp: "Yes. And. oh. heavens, had you noticed that the rain is hot? Did you ever hear of such thing? Aren't ter rible things happening? All these aw- ful murders. and now hot rain! But it's the Lords doipgs. and we must sub init. Cleveland Plain Dealer.

There is perhaps no point on which the librarian and child disagree so en- tire!y as that of the proper condition of the hands. A child whose hands were black with dirt solemnly stated, "I was born that way" Another de- clared that the doctor said he must not wash his hands till the weather got warmer" Another whispered. Preacher, that's the color of my skin."

Wsighty Problems That Are Puxxlina
 Our English Cousins.

A problem Is put forward by writer
 in contemporary which gives food
 for thought. It is this: Suppose by some combination of circumstances you
 were faced by the alternative of wear ing n frock coat with brown boots. tito wear q bowler or a tall hat? As the writer justly remarks, if you wear bowler then the thing you have to. explain away is the coat. If you wear tall hat. you have only the boots to account for We should advise these of our readers who find one morning that all the wearing apparel in the house had been stolen during the night with the exception of a frock coat, waistcoat, trousers, shirt, collar, vest, tie, pair of brown boots and two hats -one tall, the other round--to cut the Gordian knot by staying in bed An- other of life's dilemmas which may face the traveller down the worlds dusty highway has to do with collars. Suppose on arriving at house for week end and starting to dress for dinner you find that your evening col- lars have got wetted by your sponge or otherwise defaced. Should you wear a clean double collar or dirty ortho- dox evening collar? In the former case you will be natty, but a thing of bathing to all properly constituted men. In the latter you will give the impression that you cannot afford the services of a laundry-London Globe.

Turner and the Doctor.

When Turner, the famous painter, was dying at Chelsea he sent in de spair for q Ramsgate doctor who had done him some good during his recent stay at that place and who. he hoped might take a different view of his case from that which the London physicians had expressed. The doctor arrived and confirmed the opinion that the artist had very little time longer to live. Wait bit" said Turner to the doc tor. You have had nothing to eat and drink yet, hare you?" No, but that's of no consequence" But 1t is," re- piled the painter. GO downstairs, and you will find some refreshment, and there is some fine brown sherry-don't spare it-and then come up and see me again." The doctor refreshed himself and then came back to the patient "Now. then" said Turner. what is 1t: Do you still think so badly of my case? The doctor respectfully said he could not alter his former opinion. The artist shook his shoulders. turned his face to the wall and never spoke again! Dundee Advertiser.
