Napoleon a Good Reader.

Napoleon not only read a great deal
 but read with profit. His memory was extraordinary. Take, for instance, his knowledge of Roman civil law, long passages of which he once reeled off by heart to the astonishment of the state council engaged with him in the production of the Code Napoleon. TC one of the councillors he explained how he gained his legal learning. When a young lieutenant he found in the cup board of q prison room in which he was confined a ponderous tome of Ro- man law. You can easily imagine y he said, "what a valuable prize that book was. When, at the end of ten days, recovered my freedom was saturated with Justinian and the Ro- man legal decisions" Napoleon add ed that the old book was covered with marginal notes-so much so that he could not have been idle if his i'm, prisonment had Tasted a century,"

Supposed Dancer to the Eve.

Many people believe that certain modern illuminants are dangerous to the eyes on account of their ultra violet or actinic radiations. Dr. Louis Bell and Dr. F. H. VerhOeff have made an extensive investigation of the eff fleets of radiation on the various parts of the eye, from the corneal epithelium back to the retina. In an article in Science the investigators report that no artificial source of light pro- duces enough ultra violet radiation to be of the slightest danger to the eye Such pathologic or injurious action as they have been able to detect ex- perimentally from ultra violet rays is confined to strictly Knitted region of the spectrum. and perfectly definite laws govern it's quantity and effect Actual experiments on the human eye show conclusively that no concentra- ton of radiation on the retina from any artificial illuminant is great enough to produce injury under any practical conditions. Protective glasses are useful only, they conclude, in cut, ting off dazzling light.

am ashamed to say that I had en- tertained a good humored tolerance, mingled with contempt, for country newspapers. They seemed to me the apotheosis of the little, the palladium of the uninterestang.
 1t did not occur to me that any thing possessed of such tenacity of life as the country newspaper must have a real meaning and perform a genuine function in our civilization. In this roaring age of efficiency we do not long support any institution that does not set it's claws deep into our common life-and hang on.-David Grayson in American Magazine.

Marriaue Tn Japan,

A Japanese husband is allowed only one wife, but to marry is sometimes a much more serious. matter than with us. Either the husband must be form ally adopted into the family of the wife or the wife into the family of the husband, the couple being, absorbed into one family and subject to its discipline. AS a rule, this custom weighs more heavily on the bride than on the husband, for she must not only obey her husband, but every member of his family of an older generation than himself; hence a young woman often longs for old age. so that she may wield authority over the younger generations. To bring about a mar riage in Japan an intermediary is ap- pointed, whose duty it is to introduce the parties and to look to every ar engagement of the wedding. He re- mains through life the guide. philos- opher and friend of the married cou- pie, who refer all matters, all misun- derstandings. to his counsel. Pear sons.

 Nearly every winter people persist in sliding down hill into the village and just so surely there is an accident. This time all were fortunate in that no one was hurt.
