At the 13 Vendemiaire Napoleon
Was in such a state of poverty that
his clothes -were all torn and he did
not own a sword. He had to borrow' j

cloth from the state to have a eui ta
ble uniform made, j From this mo
ment, however, he paid great atten
tion to his toilet and took a certain
pride in richly decorated clothes.
At Marengo he wore a uniform
covered with gold embroidery, a uni
form to which he attached a sort of
superstitious reverence. When he
went to Milan, for instance, to be
crowned king of Italy he attended
a review on the field of battle in the
old fashioned and much tarnished
uit he had worn on the memorable
18th of June, 1800.
He never parted with this old
coat. He brought it with him to
St. Helena, and when he was dead
his companions put it over him.
When Napoleon became consul he
Still took great care of his toilet,
but he affected simplicity all the
more, as he wished his generals and
suit to be gorgeous in gold uniforms
and plumed helmets.
It was then he took to wearing
the gray redingote and the ' hat
which, as well as the uniform, has
been decreed to the Empress Eu
genie. At first the hat was low
crowned with a wide border, but lit
Jle by little it got higher and higher
until it became the hat every one
knows. The .hat was of long hairy
felt, what hatters called "castor
francaise," and it had a lining of
Sayish green silk. Napoleon wore
s hats for a long time and . sent
them to be repaired again and
again. London P. T. O.
The Leaf Cutter Bee.
A writer describes the interesting
.operations of the bee called the
"leaf cutter." This insect' drills in
a sand bank a hole ten inches deep
and half an inch in diameter and
divides it into about a dozen com
partments or cells. Each cell is
composed of pieces of leaf, cut into
proper shapes and carefully fitted
together. Eose leaves and sweet
pea leaves are among the favorites
of the bees. The cutting is done
with the jaws, while the six legs
hold the leaf in position and enable
the insect to turn itself about with
the precision of a pair of compasses.
Some of the cut pieces are perfect
Circles. Others are oblong figures
of varying proportions. Having cut
out the segment of leaf, "an opera
tion requiring about twenty seconds,
the bee carries it to the sand bank
and then returns for more materials.
When a piece has been nearly cut
off the bee, in order to prevent tear
ing, poises itself in the air with its
wings and completes the operation
with a clean cut.
The Golden Fleece.
It was on Jan. 10, 1429, in the
ancient .city of Bruges that Philip
the Good, duke of Burgundy and
Brabant, set the climax upon the
scene of indescribable splendor that
formed the setting of his nuptials
. with Isabel of Portugal by issuing
the proclamation which called into
being the Order of the Golden
Fleece, for centuries the most covet
ed distinction for the mighty of this
earth, the reward for stainless chiv-
airy and deeds of heroism and prow-
t ess, forfeitable at the least deviation
from the strictest code of knightly
honor. The conduct of the sover-
' eign himself, chief of the order,
; was subject to investigation and
censure by the chapter, and many
are the occasions when the assem-
, bled knights availed themselves of
: their dangerous privilege.
, Choosing a Charioteer.
A certain king once required a
charioteer. There were many can
; didates for the honor, and one by
i one they were brought before the
I king. lie inquired of each, "If you
i-were driving my chariot near a
. precipice how near could you steer
: without falling over?" The first
said two feet, the next that he could
go safely within a foot of the brink,
a third that a few inches would be
quite enough for him. A fourth
came and, hearing the question, said
at once, "If I were driving the
king's chariot I should consider it
my duty to keep as far away as pos
sible from the precipice." The king
felt that he was the safest man, and
he was at once engaged.

: Humors of tha Dublin Gallery.
The humor of the Dublin gallery
has long been proverbial.-1 Macready
in his "Reminiscences" relates that
on one occasion when playing Ot
ways "Venice Preserved" Jaffiers
long and rather drowsy dying speech
was interrupted by one of the gal
lery, in a tone of great impatience,
calling out very loudly, "Ah, now

"Be quiet, you blackguard," then
turning with a patronizing tone to
the lingering Jaflier, "Take your
time."
A Daisy.
"You are a daisy," is used by
Dickens in "David Copperfield" in
the sense of calling a person a daisy
in the way to express admiration
and at the same time to laugh at
one's credulity. Steerforth says to
young Copperfield: "David, my dai
sy, you are so innocent of the world.

refreshing to find one in these cor

William Archer, the English crit

the reformed spelling board in New

"I have been rather surprised,

Fan Baths and Typhoid.
Fan baths are the latest remedy
employed by the Boston City hos
pital physicians in the treatment of
typhoid fever. Heretofore the ice
plunge ' was used, and a patient
whose temperature had reached the
danger point was soused in a bath
tub filled with broken ice until his
teeth rattled. This treatment after
a time was found to be too heroic,
as the shock was- too severe and
pneumonia sometimes developed.
Then ice water sponge baths were
substituted, but the fan baths, the
doctors declare, are just the thing.
The patient is sponged off with ice
water first, then . a sheet that has
been soaked in ice water is wrapped
about the body and more ice. water
is sprinkled on the sheet. The cur
rent of an electric, fan is then turn
ed on him, so that he is chilled by
the rapid evaporation caused by the
breeze. Recent experiments have
proved this measure highly success

District Attorney Jerome of New

"It is evidence that has been tam

lady's report of her physician's pre

her physician. The man examined
her and said:
" 'Madam, you are only a little
run down. You need frequent baths
and plenty of fresh air, and I advise
you to dress in the coolest, most
comfortable clothes nothing stiff
or formal.'
"When she sot home her husband
asked her what the physician had
said. The lady replied:
" He said I must go to the sea
shore, do plenty of automobiling
