NAP0LEON's HABITS.
The Great Warrior Was Fond Of Per-
fume and Clean Linen.

The Great Warrior Was Fond Of Per-
fume and Clean Linen.
1t is pleasant to learn lie one has Ma
poleon I. on the hero list that he had
very dainty habits In personal mat
tiers; 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-
travagantly fond Of clean linen and
during his campaigns had relays Of 1t
sent to different places. In those days
1t did not cost a 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
1856 pieces and cost only tri1e over
$50.
This strikes an American as very
reasonable, but his majesty never wore
any article but once, and, as he always
undressed 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 a large majority. 1t is relief to
learn that the Little Corporal was 50
much dude. Some Of his predecessors
In the Tuileries were not blessed with
SyIch exceilenf habits AZ hfsfnrv In tn he
relied upon. D

IRVING AND MONTAGUE.
One Of Their Practical Jokes That
Scared Their Friends.

One Of Their Practical Jokes That
3s Scared Their Friends.
n In SCOTS "The Drama of Yesterday
and Today" the author tells of a prac-
teal joke played by Henry Irving and
Harry Montague upon a number of
their friends, and Gin its execution was
seen the first dawning glimmer of that
tragic force that was ultimately to find
expression in Hoods Dream Of Eugene
Aram and The Bells" Irving and
Montague, hitherto the best allies, be-
gan to quarrel on their way to a picnic,
and their friends feared some tragic
consequences. After luncheon both of
the men disappeared.
Smale's face turned deadly pale. He
felt that his worst fears were being
realized. With one wild cry, They're
gone what on earth has become Of
them?" he made dash down the OAR
gle over the rocks and powders, with
the remainder Of the picnic party at his
heels.
At the bottom Of dreadful hollow
behind the little wood" fearful sight
presented itself to the astonished
friends. There on a stone sat Henry
Irving in his shirt sleeves, his long hair
matted over his eyes, his thin hands
and white face all smeared with blood,
4 and dangling an open clasp knife.
He was muttering to himself in a
savage tone: I've done it! I've done it:
| said would! said / wouldr'
Tom Smale In an agong Of fear
rushed up to Irving, who waved him
on one side with threatening gestures.
For Gods sake, man." screamed the
distracted Smale, "tell us where he tsp
Irving, scarcely moving a muscle
pointed to heap Of dead leaves and
in sepulchral tones cried: Hes there
there! I've done for himl I've muir
dered HIM"
Smale literally bounded to the hear
and began finging aside the leaves IL
every direction. Presently he found
the body of Harry Montague lying face
downward. Almost paralyzed witt
fear, Smale just managed to turn the
head around and found Montague con
yulsed with laughter, with a pocket
handkerchief in his mouth to prevent
an explosion. Never was better acting
seen on any stage.

Weighty Problems That Are PuxxIing
Dur English Cousins.
4 A problem is put forward by a writer
in contemporary which gives food
for thought. 1t is this: Suppose by
some combination Of circumstances you
were faced by the alternative Of wear
ing frock coat with brown boots.
Which would be the better way out Of
tito wear bowler or tall hat? As
the writer justly remarks, If you wear
q bowler then the thing you have to
explain away is the coat. If you wear
a tall hat, you have only the boots to
account for We should advise those
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 frock coat,
Waistcoat, trousers, shirt, collar, vest
tie, a pair OF brown boots and two hats
lone 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

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
clean double collar or dirty ortho-
dox evening collar? In the former case
you will be natty, but a thing Of
loathing to all properly constituted
men. In the latter you will give the
impression that you cannot afford the
services Of laundry. Il London Globe.

An old Scotch farmer was lying on

requests, and this SO enraged the farm

Soienodons.

Only two species Of that singular IN
sectivorous mammal, the solenodon,
are known, one inhabiting Haiti and
the other Cuba. They differ chiefly in
the color and quality Of their fur.
Solenodons are quaint looking animals,
rather larger than rats, with long f1exi-
BILE SHOUTS and naked tails. They are
nocturnal and obtain their food by
digging In the soft ground for insects,
etc, with their shouts. Their brain
capacity is small, and they are said to
have the curious habit when hunted
by dogs Of hiding their heads In the
nearest holes and leaving their bodies

Drunkenness in France

Alcoholism in France is, says the
Hospital" held to be one of the most
terrible scourges of the present day,
and is also, apparently, one OF che chief
causes of death. Two years ago the
Academic de Medicine invited men,
bers of the medical societies to collect
statistics of all deaths in their wards
NJ. Fernet has communicated a sum-
mary of these statistics. and finds that
during the last Is months. among a
total of over 1.500 deaths occurring in
II different hospitals and asylums, al
eohol played part in the cause of
death In third of the cases. 1t was
the principal cause in oEe-tenth of the
deaths, and IL was the accessory cause
In more than one-fifth. As the prin-
cipal fatal manifestations of alcohol
are included such affections as delirium
tremens, pachymeningitis hemorrhagi-
ca cirrhosis and cardio-vascular dis
eases. Conditions in which alcohol
played an accessory part to the fatal
issue include cases of pneumonia, cry
sipelas and other acute infectious dis
eases Alcohol showed still greater
influence on mortality in asylums than
in the general hospitals. At the Asile
Sainte Anne 80 out of SO consecutive
deaths were among alcoholics In asy-
lums generally alcohol was the cause OF
disease and death in nearly half the
male cases. and in one-sixth of the fe-
male cases. In view of the recent dis
cussions as to the relation of alcohol
to insanity in this country these fig
ures are of especial interest.
