He wouldn’t feel half as much interest in tbe hallelujahs that he used to feel in an election. It would take a long time for him to forget his old political war cry, or use himself to a government where they didn’t change rulers every four years.

SATURDAY MORNING. JUNE 15, 1889. NAPOLEON AT ELBA. The Extravagance That Characterised H la Manner of Living. , The scene of Napoleon’s landing at Porto Ferrate was a curious one. He had taken the municipality by surprise, so that the pro¬ posed decorations and triumphal arch were incomplete. voted Eighty pounds sterling had been for these preparations, and the council had also decreed that £40 should be expended In the purchase of suitable furniture for the palace which was set apart for him. But, If their means were small, the El bans’ hearts were by warm. Napoleon was met on the mole the mayor a and other clergy. The people crowded around the harbor, and waved bunting from their windows. The keys of the city were offered to him In a sil¬ ver dish by ly the 9 did t them with his fin Hie troops then at the tittle piazza of white houses with green Jalousies, now known as Piazza Cavour, into the adjacent piazza (Vittorio Emanueie), by one side of which is the plain little cathedral of the city. Here a Te Deum was sung with enthusiasm. Na¬ poleon stood throughout the function with bent knees and a far away look. He was afterward presented with a map of. the island. Then be lunched, mounted his white horse Tiber tin, and rede out of the bah ttemented little town to see something of this residue of his great empire. Tbe vicarious vision.of the opulence that was to come upon Elba with the emperor was illusive. The revenue of the island, ail told, was only 887,- OOOL Of this, as soon as the figures were be¬ fore him, Napoleon devoted 200,0001 to public works, such as roads and fortifications The balance was little enough for the mainte¬ nance of a court and the several hundred sol¬ diers of the Old Guard who had followed him Into exile By the treaty of Fontaineblean, an annual allowance of 2,000,000 francs was allowed to him. But he received not a franc of this, and had he not carried with him a sum of 8,400,000 francs he would have been at the mercy of the Elbans for the means of exist¬ ence. As it was, he did not eke out his funds very judiciously. Had his mother kept the bag the Elba establishment might have held out for two or three years instead of lea than one year, and Waterloo been postponed. During the first few months he seldom passed a child or a peasant In the road without a brief Inquisitorial chat, which ended in the gift of a couple of gold pieces. He gave ragged boys money to buy clothing, and lit¬ tle girls napoleons in. exchange for flowers. Such lavishness could not last Retrench¬ ment had to be the order of the day. Thus, at length, the worthy, astonished Elbans found such burdens of taxes laid upon them as they had never dreamed ot At Capoli- veri, indeed, there was a revolt The people intrenched themselves in their village an d took op stones of resistance against the tax col¬ lector. i “So Gapoliveri wants to make war with me!” exclaimed Napoleon, with a brisk air, when he heard of this. But, bidding upon reflec¬ tion, Capoliveri yielded to the of the victor of Marengo.—The Comhiii Magazine iifmwtoirriMl firtlfhi* "MM DM UmMst W hen Dr. Finsch landed in Astrolabe bay, New Guinea, a while ago, he went with an escort where of sailors buried a. short distance forest inland, large he found in the a village The party was accompanied by some of tbe village men whose acquaintance they had cultivated at the shore The women, however, were none the less frightened at the strange appearance ot the visitors, and most of them ran off into the woods. A few old women, however, who had been brave enough to face the strangers, were rewarded with presents, and through their efforts the other women were soon induced to return. Dr. Finsch says that throughout his ex¬ plorations ho took particular pains to ingrati¬ ate himself with the old women. He often found that they wielded important influence, and their good will was very helpful. He admits that he did not always find -it a - par¬ ticularly agreeable task to win the favor ot the older women, for they are not fair to look upon. But it was to his interest to have all the old ladies on his side, and so be pat his best foot forward to make them think he was a very nice sort of a fallow. Dr. Finsch advances one rather novel idea about tbe women of uncivilized tribes in tropical countries. He reports the well known fact that these women lose their youth and freshness while still young, but he adds that they would not seem to fade so early in life if they wore clothing and understood tbe arts of the toilet, with which women in other lands long contrive to conceal advancing years and artificially supply the charms they have lost. —New York Sun.- „ The American GlrL The American girl is gradually invading every department of operatic representation, and always with success.

The bow and I grew so well acquainted! Wo read several splendid books through, from first chapter to finisi we studied the New Testament; we played games.

The dear husband, it may be, has been very ill, so that for some days life, seeming gray faced and unfamiliar, has taken on a new and stem aspect; what with the secession from the ordinary routine, meals altered to suit the convenience of those in attendance on the invalid, the world of fashion and of recreation temporarily ex¬ cluded, the daughter’s practicing hushed, the little ones diverted In a far away nursery that papa should not be disturbed, kindred coming with anxious faces and soft foot falls to make daily inquiry, flowers and dainty food left at the door by friendly neighbors, the pastor dropping in os often as the physi¬ cian, the door bell muffled; while to all hearts in the household there has been eon vaguely threatening the menace of t sorrow.

Training and Taming Canary Birds. I have tamed several birds.'' 1 left England ons^yeor ago, and before I came hid a bird that was so wild, it was terrible to go near the cage. This is what 1 did; I hung the cage np against the wall in my bedroom, more from fear of the oat than anything, and at night when it got dude I threw over the cagq a light oovering. When I went to bed smd the gas was burning bright it roused the bird, and rite generally I gave a twit, covering twit, asking if I was there. took the off, placed her on my table and used to sit by her talking baby nonsense, till at last she came to tbe side where I was sitting, flatter her Wings and open her beak, which I took for a kiss and “good night” I always pnt her np and covered her; sometimes she would twit and worry in her cage after I was In bed, upon which I always called out, “Go to sleep, birdie," and she wa# generally quiet During the day I shut myself In my room and opened the cage door; It was not long-be¬ fore she came out and would pick op any threads sad carry them into the cage. Since I came to America I bought her a large cage, such as they put mocking birds In, and gave her plenty of specs (when I placed the old cage on the table she refaaed to go Into It). Never hang canaries in a draught I always placed ber cage on the dining room table at one end and there I kept it, with tbe door al¬ ways open, unless 1 opened tbe window and then I it far a moment, when she hopped about the cage in a fury.

Sleeping Booms for Children. Possibly the attention of very few mothers has been directed to the importance of the position of their children’* beds. With cer¬ tain orderly, careful mothers a small alcove adjoining their deeping room is generally considered suitable, leaving the main room so much freer for other uses. But to what fate are we consigning our child when wo exile him tothealcovol Here lurks all the stale, jy tliefrear currentsof the main room* The child breathing this air night after night experiences a loss of vitality, a tendency to colds and a languid, depressed condition in tbe morning, quite different from the re-' froshed awakening in pure air. It has been demonstrated that the beds nearest the walls in tbe hospitals have tbe highest rate of mortality, they being subject to influences of polluted air similar to the alcove of the bedroom. The existence of bad ventilation around the corners and sides of rooms has been so well demonstrated that it has already given rise to the building of ro¬ tunda hospitals, wherq the current of air along tho floors rises as it reaches the wall, firej effectually ventilating the whole. The suggestion of this idea came from the drop-' ping of a small piece of paper near the center of a rotunda, where it skimmed along the floor and rose as it reached tho wall In an ordinary room a similar experiment with a piece of thistle down will indicate the usual direction of the air currents. —Babyhood.

Mrs. Dr. Cary talked about tho evils of tight lacing and of kindred subjects, illustrating her remarks by a mani¬ kin—perhaps it should he called a womanikin. She told tho members where their lungs were, and printed out the fact that tbe heart Bra, in ordinary human beings, near the breast bone. She also located other internal organs very accurately. The need tor fresh air was enlarged upon, and the lecturer inveighed against compresting the lungs with corsets. It was remarked that most women are sadly ignorant of physiology in general and of their own bodies in particular, and the speaker emphasized her desire tp spread knowledge of that tort among feminine humanity.—Chi¬ cago Herald. ______ The Tyranny of P ra—mak ers.
