Napoleon at EIba.

One hundred years ago Napoleon
landed at Porto Farrajo, on the island
of Elba, of which he had been made
sovereign by the allies. He was re-
ceived with shouts of joy by the Ell
ban population, who were proud OF
the sovereign whom the chances Sof
fortune had just thrown upon their
shores. The former dictator of Eu
rope proceeded to organize his little
island realm with the same care and
as it proved, with the same purpose
of aggrandizement he had bestowed
on the empire he had forfeited. Dur
ing the nine months that he remained
the Man of Elba" the world was
watching him, and he was watching
the world The suspicion that Elba
would yet develop political volcano
was general and, as events proved
was well founded.

Oil DestroNa insects.

Insects generally breathe through
special pores in various parts of their
body, and if these pores are Chased
by oil they are suffocated. Anyone
may test this by dropping sweet oil
on the back of a wasp; it very soon
dies. For this reason oil has been
found one of the best things to use for
the destruction of insects. Flies, mos
quitoes, reaches and other vermin can
be driven from a house by the liberal
use OF coal oil.
