Napoleon, we are told, was dressed every morning by the valet in attendance. He did not don a single garment himself; eventually, however, he was induced to shave himself. It happened in this wise: In 1803 the head valet, Hambard, pleaded ill-health as an excuse for not accompanying his master to Boulogne. "Who is to shave me?" asked Napoleon, for Hambard had regularly discharged this duty. Hambard suggested Constant, who, foreseeing this emergency, had been diligently taking lessons on hambler china and had acquired proficiency. He had no easy task, for Napoleon, while undergoing the operation, would talk, read the newspapers, and tidget in his chair, sometimes sitting as a statue and declining to The judicial Borras, recently France, has been custom of the order a prisoner in a death, a tall and dressed in a jacket justically to throw solemnly to one voice pronounce startling work!

He did not don a single garment himself; eventually, however, he was induced to shave himself. It happened in this wise: In 1803 the head valet, Hambard, pleaded ill-health as an excuse for not accompanying his master to Boulogne. "Who is to shave me?" asked Napoleon, for Hambard had regularly discharged this duty. Hambard suggested Constant, who, foreseeing this emergency, had been diligently taking lessons on hambler chins and had acquired proficiency. He had no easy task, for Napoleon, while undergoing the operation, would talk, read newspapers, and tidget in his chair, sometimes sitting as stiff as a statue and declining to bend his head an inch. Great care was necessary to avoid cutting his face. Another peculiarity was that he insisted on one side being lathered and shaved before the other was touched. When Constant got free enough with him to venture on the step, he urged on Napoleon the desirability of his learning to shave, as he himself might be ill or absent, and Napoleon would not like to be operated on by a stranger. Napoleon was, with some difficulty, induced to try the experiment, but, of course, he experimented only on himself, and did not, therefore, acquire professional proficiency. Very clumsy at first, he gradually became tolerably expert. On one point, however, he was obstinate—he persisted in moving the razor downward instead of upward, and occasional cuts were the consequence. While not lifting a finger to dress himself, Napoleon dispensed with assistance in undressing; but he flung his garments all over the room—his watch sometimes missing the table or bed at which it was aimed, and falling broken to the floor. As to dress, he despised dandies, never wore rings and abominated acents, except can de cologne, with which he was often rubbed, and which was his specific for bruises. When coat-tails became shorter he stuck to the old fashion, until Constant got the tailor to shorten them by imperceptible gradations. He dialked tightly-fitting clothes, found a new hat uncomfortable—though lined with silk and wadding—and stuck to an old one as long as possible. He put on every morning a clean white waistcoat, with knee-breches to match—he never wore trousers; but as he habitually wiped his pen on his breeches, after three or four washings they were done with. Constant denies, however, the common story of his keeping snuff loose in his waistcoat pocket; he always used a snuffbox, and though he frequently took a pinch, he simply held it to his nose, and then dropped all or nearly all on the floor. His snuff injured the carpet, not his waistcoat. Smoking he never tried but once. An Oriental Ambassador had presented him with a chibouk. It was filled and lit for him, but he merely opened and shut his lips instead of drawing. When at last he was induced to draw, the smoke went down his throat and came out his nose. He felt queer for an hour, declared against the habit as fit only for lazy people, and never touched a pipe again. Temple Bar. The World's Population. There are about 1,500,000,000 inhabitants on the globe. Of these 33,033,033 die every year. There are 3,064 languages and over 1,000 religions professed by the people. The number of males and females is about equal and their average life is about thirty-three years; one-fourth of the inhabitants die before they reach their fifteenth year. To 1,000 persons only one reaches the age of 100 years; to every 100 only six reaches the age of 65, and not more than one in 500 lives to see their eighteenth year. 3,072,037 drums M, Agent; Aheim, California.

There are about 1,500,000,000 inhabitants on the globe. Of these 33,033,033 die every year. There are 3,064 languages and over 1,000 religions professed by the people. The number of males and females is about equal and their average life is about thirty-three years; one-fourth of the inhabitants die before they reach their fifteenth year. To 1,080 persons only one reaches the age of 100 years; to every 100 only six reach the age of 65, and not more than one in 500 lives to see their eighteenth year; 3,053,033 dying every year, makes a grand total of 91,823 per day, 3,730 per hour, 60 a minute, or one every time the clock ticks! Married persons live longer than single ones, and the tall have a better chance for long life than those of short stature. Women have more chance of life in their favor prevails to 50 years of age than men have, but fewer afterward. The numer of marriages is in proportion of seventy-five to every 1,000 individuals born; the time when the greatest number of marriages takes place is in June and December—about the time of the summer and winter solutions. Dark-haired persons have a better chance in the greater struggle for existence than those of the opposite complexion, except in contagious diseases where blondes are comparatively exempt. A person born in hot weather stands the heat a great deal better than one born in the cold months of winter; at coolness the rule works well with warm. Those born in the spring are usually of a more robust constitution than if born at any other time of the year. Fifty-five are more frequent by night than by day; also damnals. A Freeby Good Prize. Los Angeles Herald. Anyone who comes up from Anahiem three days, reports the sale of a piece of land. The last transfer made them one more Palatine, on the corner of Orangtowns avenue and Sparta road. It is a 24 mile lot and was sold by the Bank of Anahiem, which got it for a mortgage some time ago. Smalt males are generally made a little below the market value, as the banks are willing for millions to get their money back. This prize brought about $25,000 places; a pretty good prize under all the circumstances. Story of a Parens. Two million once went with a house parens to a Talia, where a Japanese woman giving an exhibition of knight hand, interspersed with amabilis fashions.

The parrot heard this exclamation so often that he peaked it up off hand, as it were. Presently the Japanese tried to keep in the air a number of hambu sticks ignited at both ends, but having his attention distracted by a movement in the audience, he allowed one of the sticks to drop. Unfortunately it fell upon a heap of fireworks, bombs, etc., which exploded, blew out the walls, blew off the roof, scattered the audience in all directions, and the parrot, minus its tail, feathers and one eye, about one hundred yards. As the bird came down with a flop, it shrieked: "Wann't that clever? Wonder what he'll do next!" Trenchery to Summer Bowers. San Diego. In this connection it is proper to say something regarding the treachery of Los Angeles toward Senator Bowers. Opposition to the San Diego candidate was to be expected from the northern part of the district, but there is no justification of the course paramed by the Republican of Los Angeles. The solid and constant support given Markham by the San Diego delegation at Sacramento was not an unimportant factor in securing that gentleman's nomination, and because there was no written properly attested agreement, signed and witnessed, for Los Angeles to support Bowers is no excuse for the treachery of that delegation. It was tactily underected, and among honest men that is sufficient. But honesty is not one of the virtues of the hog, we believe, and Los Angeles is a political bog through and through. A Sarange Custom. The judicial error of which the man named Borras, recently liberated, was the victim in France, has brought to the front an old custom of the courts of Venice. There, when a prisoner is about to be condemned to death, a tall and ghostly-looking individual dressed in a long black gown, walks majestically to the center of the courtroom, bowes solently to the judges, and in a cavernous voice pronounces the following not overstartling works: "Remember the baker!" The seven wonders. Compared with the Seven wonders of the world classified by the ancients, there are seven times seven wonders now. The fabled Colonne of Rhodes, the Alexandrian light-house, the hanging gardens of Babylon, sink into insignificance beside the achievements of modern times. The Colonne of Rhodes was in all probability, a myth, while the Bartholdi statue is an accomplished foot, and doubtlessly equal in point of achievement to any of the seven wonders of the ancient world, not even exempting the pramida. As a matter of fact, the real wonders of the world, albeit they have amounted for the most part to be wonders by reason of familiarity, represent inventions rather than engineering and architectural skill. The printing press, the telegraph, the railway, the steamboat, the photograph, the telescope, and the seabinding paper are in themmalen seven wonders of which the Egyptians and the Great Sea never dreamed. But in the line of engineering skill, which was the most prominent feature of the original seven wonders, there are now so many proud triumphs that it is by no means an easy matter to name the foremost seven. A writer in the August number of Frank Lealie's Popular Monthly, however, has named the seven which appear to him best entitled to the pre-eminence of being recognized as the seven leading wonders of the world. The list, as he arranges it, comprises the Forth bridge in Scotland; New York's new underground aquaduct, which is 30 miles long on an average 150 feet underground and cut through rock; the Eiffel tower; the Brooklyn bridge; the St. Gothard tannel, between Switzerland and Italy, begun at a height of 1,340 feet; and cut for 94 miles through the solid rock; the improvements at Hall Gate, and the jetties at the mouth of the Mississippi. It is easy to take exceptions to this list. There are probably few intelligent people who will not dispute the claims of some one or other of these achievements. The Eiffel tower, for example, lofty as it is should scarcely be permitted to crowd out the Seas canal, and the engineering feat of removing the obstructions at Hell Gate is hardly to be A Serrange Custom. The judicial error of which the man named Borras, recently liberated, was the victim in France, has brought to the front an old custom of the courts of Venice. There, when a prisoner is about to be condemned to death, a tall and ghastly-looking individual, dressed in a long black gown, walks majestically to the center of the courtroom, bows solemnly to the judges, and in a cavernous voice pronounces the following not overstartling works: "Remember the baker!" Then he bows again and stalks away. Just 300 years ago a baker was executed in Venice for a crime of which he was not guilty. When his innocence was fully established the judges who condemned him gave a sum of money to the city, the interest on which was to be devoted to the setting up and perpetual burning of a lamp, known as the "lamp of expiation," in the palace of the dogs. It is still burning there. Retrieve Justice. An editor works 365 days per year to get out fifty-two issues of a paper; that's labor. Once in a while somebody pays him a year's subscription; that's capital. And once in a while some son of a gun of a dead beat takes the paper for a year or two and vanishes without paying for it; that's anarchy. But later on justice will overtake the last named creature, for there is a place where he will get his just desert; that's hell.—Auxiliary. Southern Pacific Route.

New York's new underground aquednet, which is 30 miles long on an average 150 feet underground and cut through rock; the Eiffel tower; the Brooklyn bridge; the St. Gothard tunnel, between Switzerland and Italy, begun at a height of 1,340 feet, and cut for 9½ miles through the solid rock; the improvements at Hell Gate, and the jetties at the mouth of the Mississippi. It is easy to take exceptions to this list. There are probably few intelligent people who will not dispute the claims of some one or other of these achievements. The Eiffel tower, for example, lofty as it is, should scarcely be permitted to crowd out the Seas canal, and the engineering feat of removing the obstructions at Hell Gate is hardly to be compared with the building of the Pacific railroads.

You may yourself be one of the many who know from personal experience just how good a thing it is. If you have ever tried it, you are one of its stunnish friends, because the wonderful thing about it is that when once given a trial, Dr. King's New Discovery ever after holds a place in the house. If you have never used it and should be afflicted with a cough, cold or any Throat, Lung or Chest trouble, secure a bottle at once and give it a fair trial. It is guaranteed every time, or money refunded. Trial Bottles Free at W. M. Higgins' Drugstore. The only radical cure for rheumatism is to eliminate from the blood the acid that causes the dimenna. This is thoroughly affected by the persevering use of Ayer's Sarasapilla Formula until cured. The process may be slow, but the result is sure. John Schauman makes a specialty of fine horse-shoring.

I began to take Ayer's Chewy Powder, and after using two bottles of this medicine, was completely cured."—Ange A. Lewis, Riverside, M.Y. Weather Indications. A red sunset is an indication of a fine day on the morrow. A yellow or gray sunset is an indication of wet weather, also one green or yellowish green. A red and lowering sky at sunrise is an indication of a wet day. A haze around the sun indicates rain. When this is seen a rain of five or six hours duration may be expected. A halo around the sun occurring after fine weather indicates a storm. A halo around the moon is a sure indication of rain. The larger the halo the nearer the rain clouds and the sooner the rain may be expected. Small colored circles which are frequently seen around the moon or sun are termed corona. A corona growing smaller indicates rain; growing larger fair weather. It is said rain will follow a halo within as many days as there are stars within the circle.
