Jose ohlne's Man. Names.

Josephine, empress of the French, was Yeyette to her intimate friends. Her name In reality was Marie Josephe Rose. Napoleon after the marriage exacted that she should be known as Josephine. He had a mania for re baptiZing the women of his entourage. He made his sister Marianne an Elise, of Annonciade a Caroline. of Paulette & Pauline.
 Among her numerous friends Joseph fine remained Yeyette. Barras never called her otherwise
 The pope was so unfamiliar with her name that when he sent his hene- dictlon the letter borne by his iegate was addressed to Our Sister In Jesus Christ. Victoria Bonaparte,'
 In 1814, on the departuHF for Elba, the Debats designated Josephine under the paraphrase "the mother of Prince Eugene"
 At Ruell her tomb bears this simple inscription, "A Josephine Eugene ct Hortense. 1S25' The restoration did not permit her recognition as empress. --Cri de Paris

A Horsa's Toe Nails.

Few persons realize that q horse $ hool is really the same thing as the toe nails of human beings or of ani- mals having toes. The horn of q hoof grows just as q toe nail does. Ihe heof grows more rapidly ill unshod horses than in those wearing shoes. and t grows faster in horses which are well groomed aud well fed. But oll ;n average the horn grows about a third of an inch a month. Hind hoofs crow faster than fore hoofs. The toe of. the hoof being the longest part, ii takes longer for the horn to grow down. there than at the heel. For in stance, the toe will grow entirely down la from eleven to thirteen months, while the heel will grow down in from three to five months. As the new horn grows out any cracks or defects in the old gradually work down to where they can be cut off, just as with human finger nails you can watch the progress of bruise from the root to the tip.- London Answers.

The Sub stitution.

It is q well known fact that both Sir Arthur Sullivan and Sir ". S. Gilbert had horror of the titles of their operas becoming known until the very night of their performance. This fear that they might be forestalled ere ated considerable confusion at the ini- tial production of "Iolanthe; or The Peer and the Peri.' The opera was rehearsed for weeks under the title of "Perola.' It was only at the dress rehearsal that the company was in- structed to substitute the name ''Io- lanthe' for that of ''Pero!a" wherever 1t occurred in the text or lyrics. It was no easy task to replace vocally and in the dialogue name of three syllables for one of four. Sullivan. however, said (inaybe aside) to one or two of the actors who were nervous: "Go ahead and sing the music. GIL bert won't be in front (Gilbert never attended the first night, 'so use any name that you think of first if you are rattled, No one in the audience will be any wiser. .'-Boston Post.

 "I was acting in a comedy when l had to speak the words, Whats the matterY We'll, one night I was rather slow about taking my cue and was prompted. l forgot myself for the mo- ment, and when the words came, Whats the matterY l thought some thing or other had occurred out of the common. 1 paused and looked round.

They were all getting anxious behind the scenes, and so was l. for that matter. l looked myself up and down and then scanned my fellow actor but for the life of me couldn't see anything wrong.

There was, he main- tained, the reddish hair of the woman. for instance: her flesh color. q bit of tt.3ie ribbon, and so on.

Youno's lmpromptu.

To most persons Edward Young is the author of Might Thoughts and nothing more, but he was also a man of the world and a shrewd and caustic wit as well as the rector of St. Mary's church at Welwyn.
 It was there in the garden of the rec tory that he composed some of the best impromptu verses known. He was walking with two ladies when some one summoned him to the house. His companions were agreeable, and he was in no haste to leave them. Turn ing as he reached the gate, he said: Thus Adam looked when from the garden
