"Never," siiys Roederer, ' have I seen his mind weury; never have I seen his mind without spring; not in the strain of body, wrath or the most vio lent exercise." One of his ministers complained that "it would require a constitution of Iron to go through with what we do. After a day's ride iu a carriage we no sooner alight than we' mount on horseback and some times remain in our saddles for ten or twelve hours successively." In his fortieth year Napoleon rode ninety miles without stirrups In five hours and a half. His surgeon, Percy, said that he was "made of iron, soul and body, always on horseback, galloping about In nil weathers, bivouacking, working like ten men, never ill, never tired." Even his enemies declared that Napoleon had a capacity for work equal to that of four' other men. Scientific Monthly. Personal Experience? A few weeks ago in one of the state high schools, in an English class, this little episode occurred: The teacher had asked the pupils, for the follow ing day, to write an editorial, and In giving suggestions had said that "pup py love" would be an interesting topic to work up. A member of the class, who was busy copying the assignment when the above statement was made, looked up and innocently inquired: "Does It have to be a personal experi ence?" Indianapolis News.
