Bourrienne, Napoleon's Schoolma.e

Bourrienne was banished by Napp
leon to Hamburg. But, to soften the
blow, his old school friend gave the
secretary fat official appointment
there. Bourrienne had acquired the
taste for graft Now that he was
away from Napoleons watchful eye ne
gratified his dishonest cravings with
out stint.
He wrongfully wrung huge sums
from the Hamburg senate and from
German noblemen. At last his thefts
became so outrageous that complaint
was made to Napoleon. The latter,
who was now emperor of France, re-
called Bourrienne in disgrace. degrad-
ed him from his office and compelled
him to refund 100000 of the stolen
money. Napoleon was never noted Tor
gratitude or for kindness. The fact
that he had done anything at all Cor
the ex-school chum was unusual. Now
he washed his hands of the man.
Bourrienne, turned adrift and forced
to give up part Of his ill-gotten cash,
became Napoleon's bitterest enemy.
He did all in bis power to injure his
former benefactor, and toiled cunning
ly for the emperor's downfall.
In 1914 Napoleon was overthrow
by the allied powers of Europe and
was packed off to Elbe an exile. Bour-
rienne was among the first to hail
Louis XVIII. (the Bourbon king Of the
allies set on Frances throne In Napo.
Icons place., and to clamor for Office
under him.
Then back from Elba came Ma
poleon. All France rose to greet hirl,
! and Louis XVIII. fed for his life. Ma.
poleon offered pardon to nearly all his
political foes, but he pointedly re.
fused to forgive Bourrienne. Tremb.
ling at his own danger, Bourrienne
rushed for safety to the still fleeing
Louis XVIII. This act of devotion"
touched the heart of the fugitive king.
He made Bourrienno minister Of state
after Napoleons second and final
downfall. The turncoat Jared we'll fol-
some years. But. like most grafters
Bourrienne at last lost every penny OF
his tainted wealth. lie was forced &c
flee from France to escape his cred
itors.
His mind gave way and, in 1884, he
died in an insane asylum.

Care of EGGS.


A great many people in the poultry
business never give a thought 10 the
care and preservation of eggs The
many as possible when they will bring
the best returns for their labor, quail
ty not being considered. one of the
most essential things to the producer,
if he intends to make a success of the
business, is the study and care of an
egg. He will find the longer he studies
the more he will learn about eggs.
Eggs are like milk You will find that
they run no two days alike. To the
inexperienced this may sound strange,
but ask the experienced eheesemaker
and he will tell you that milk will
work no two days alike. The same
may be said about the egg. The
changes may be due to the condition
of the weather. food or physical con-
dition of the hen.
Eggs, like all perishable goods, will
keep better in cool weather (not freeZ-
ing) than in warm weather. Warm
weather starts what is called the
fioater, or reddish cloud in the egg.
This is the first stage of decomposi-
ton, and the longer it is kept in a
warm temperature the darker grows
the cloud. until it will fasten itself to
the side of the shell and become black,
and when broken the yolk will break
with the white aud run together and
Immediately be condemned. Eggs laid
in the grass in hot weather may be-
come bad inside of forty eight hours.
For instance, an egg laid in the morn
