Wellington at No Time Caught Even
a Glimpse of Napoleon.
In an article on Waterloo in the
Newfoundland Quarterly the Right
Hon. Sir Edward Morris, prime min
ister of Newfoundland, tells the fol
lowing story:
King Edward VIII. as 2 boy wor
shiped Wellington, who lived for
eleven years after the birth of the
future king. One morning the
young Prince of Wales displayed
with pride a drawing wwich he had
made representing Napo'gon on
horseback leveling a pistol "at the
head of the duke, who was advanc
ing with sword drawn to cut down
his enemy. Just at this moment
the Duke of Wellington entered the
prince’s room.
“You are just the man I want to
see,” cried the boy, holding up his
picture in delight.
“How is that ?”” asked the veteran
duke.
“Why, because you can best criti
cise my drawing,” said the prince.
*Now, can you tell me who is on
the left?” he went on, showing the
picture to the duke.
“Well,” said the latter, “from the
waistcoat and the hat I can see it is
meant for Napoleon.” |
“Right,” said the prince. “And
who is the other?”
“By the cut of the features 1
should say it was myself.”
“Right again,” answered the
prince. “Now, what I want to
know is—is the drawing accurate ?”
The old duke put down the draw
ing and impressively answered: *“My
boy, I am going to tell you some
thing that the linglish people don’t
know. I never in my life set eyes
upon Napoleon! Once, in the midst
of a battle, some one cried, ‘Look,
there is Napoleon!" Before I could
get the fieldglass to my eves the
smoke from a field gun had envelop
ed him.”
Self Respect and Water.
Some years ago | was inspecting
a railroad roundhouse in southern
Texas, and noticéd men going to
the master mechanic’s clerk and
getting keys. Inquiries brought ou:
the information that these men
were engineers and firemen coming
in from their runs, who desired to
bathe before going home. A record
of the baths has been kept and
showed that practically every crew
availed itself of the privilege of
bathing.' There was no way of
measuring the benefit to the rail
road, but it was surely far in ex
cess of the cost of the baths. Even
where it is not practicable to fur.
nish regular baths, sanitary wash
bowls should be provided, so that
the men can at least clean their
hands and faces before going home.
A man who will walk the streets
with a dirty face soon loses his self
respect and ambition.—C. J. Morri
son in Engineering Magazine.
Working Overtime.
Mr. Griffin had spent an anxious
afternoon at the office and hurried
home at an unusually early hour.
“How do you feel, dear? What
did the doctor say?” 1 - questioned
his wife as she lay on a couch, her
eyes half closed.
“Oh, he asked me to pu out my
tongue!” she murmured.
“Yes?”
“And after looking at it he said,
‘Overworked.” ”
Mr. Griffin heaved an audible
sigh of relief. “I have perfect faith
in that doctor, Mabel,” said he firm
ly. “You will have to give it a
rest.”—Buffalo Express.
Dressed For the Part.
“What subject have you taken for
your address at the Civic club?”
“Woman’s moral obligations as a
citizen.”
“What a lovely subject! And
what are you going to wear ?”
“That new gown I brought home
with me from Paris. And just
think! I had it so cleverly packed
in with my old clothes that the cus
toms house inspector never discov
ered it was there” Baltimore
American.
A Queen’s Critical Brother.
Marie Antoinette’s brother Jo
seph could not bear the rouge pot,
and one evening when the queen
was going out, being very heavily
rouged, the emperor was looking
on. Pointing to a lady present who
was excessively bedaubed with paint,
Joseph remarked faceMously: “A
little more under the eyes! Lay on
the rouge like fury, as that lady
does !”—Hassard’s “Louis XVI.”
Geology and Biology.
Geology is the complement of bi
ology. As soon as one has mastered
the rudiments of botany and zoology
and of the distribution of life forms
in space the range of his thoughts
should be extended to take in the
orderly succession of life in past
ages and the evolution of modern
specialized plants and animals from
the earlier generalized tvpes.
= SKIN® v THE EMIT
1t Is Wise Not to Eat Apples or Pears
. '"Without Peeling Them.
Seme people say that an apple does
not taste right when the skin is re
moved. Some evea go so far as to say :
there is danger in eating fruit that has
come in contact with the steel of the
paring knife, as the acid in the fruit is
apt to produce some poisen when it
comes in coutact with the metal. But
whether these things are true or uot.l
there is still greater danger in eating|
apples without peeling them.
The skin of the apple has always
been more or less infested with gerwms
of different types, and now our mod
ern methods of fizhting insects by
spraying the trees are liable to leave
poisonous deposits on it which will do!
our stomachs serious harm.
Arsenate of lead, lime and sulphur
wash and a number of other spraying
compounds used by fruit growers have
been found to remain in considerable
quantities on the skin of apples and
pears until ripe and placed on the mar
ket. The action of such chemicals
upon the tissues of the human body
is very injurious.
Spraying the trees is giving us more
perfect fruit and getting the grower
better prices, but if you value your
health you should never eat apples or
pears without first removing the peels.
—New York American.
NAPOLEON VALUED TIME.
He Might Have to Lose Battles, but He
Would Not Lose Minutes.
After forcing the army of Sardinia
back toward Turin, Napoleon bhad
scarcely taken possession of the beau
tiful Palace Salmatori, at Cherasco,
thirty-five miles from the Piedmon
tese capital, when an aged marshal
from the Sardinian side came and in
formed the little general of the French
that the king was about to propose
terms of peace. 1
“Terms!” shouted the young com
mander in chief in startling tones, as
he pounded the desk, *“it is I who name
terms. If you don’t accept them at
once Turin IS mine tomorrow!”
Although the directory, sitting in far
away Paris, had reserved the right for
themselves and their trained diplomats
to accept or reject terms, the young
general could not delay operations for
weeks while messengers were sent
back and forth between the camp and
the capital, so Bonaparte took it upon
himself to arrange an armistice. He
called a balt to all sparring for time
by drawing out his watch and, tapping
the dial with his forefinger, ordered
them to sign immediately, remarking:

a minute or two. Then he wrote this:
