NAPOLEON’S AWFUL HAND.
One Theory of the Great Man's Fail
ure at Waterloo.
Napoleon, according to Alexander
Dumas, lost such battles as he did lose
because he wrote such a fiendish hand.
His generals could not read his notes
and letters, typewriting had not been
invented, and the trembling marshals,
afraid of disobeying and striving to in
terpret the indecipherable commands,
loitered, wandered and did not come up
to the scratch, or not to the right
scratch. Thus Waterloo was lost. Can
not you fancy Grouchy handing round
Napoleon’s notes on that sanguinary
Sunday? “I say,” cries the marshal to
his aid-de-camp, “is that word Gem-
bloux or Wavre? Is this Blucher or
Bulow?” So probably Grouchy tossed
up for it, and the real words may have
been none of these at which he offered
his conjectures. Meanwhile on the left
and center D’Erlon and Jerome and
Ney were equally puzzled and kept on
sending cavalry to places where it was
very uncomfortable (though our men
seldom managed to hit any of the cav
aliers, firing too high) and did no sort
of good. Napoleon may never have been
apprised of these circumstances. His
old writing master was not on the
scene of action. Nobody dared to say,
Sire, what does this figure of a centi-
ped mean, and how are we to construe
these two thick strokes flanked by
blots?” The imperial temper was pep
pery; the great man would have torn
off his interrogator’s epaulets and
danced upon them. Did he not once
draw his pistol to shoot a little dog
that barked at his horse? And when
the pistol missed fire the great soldier
threw it at the dog and did not hit him.
1'he little dog retreated with the hon
ors of war.
Such was the temper of Napoleon,
and we know what Marlborough
thought of tbe value of an equable
temper. Nobody could ask Bonaparte
to write a legible band, so his generals
lived a life of conjecture as to his
meaning, and Waterloo was not a suc
cess, and the emperor never knew why.
Of all his seven or eight theories of his
failure at Waterloo, his handwriting
was not one. Yet if this explanation
had occurred to him Napoleon would
certainly have blamed his pens, ink
and paper. Those of Nelson at Copen
hagen were very bad. “If your guns
are no better than your pens,” said a
Danish officer who came in under a
flag of truce before the fight and was
asked to put a message into writing,
“you had better retire.”—Andrew Lang
in Longman’s Magazine.
SICKROOM PHILOSOPHY.
Never confine a patient to one room
If you can obtain the use of two.
Never play the piano to a sick person
If you can play on strings or sing.
Never stand and fidget when a sick
person is talking to you. Sit down.
Never complain that you cannot get
a feeding cup if there is a teapot to be
had instead.
Never read fast to a sick person.
The way to make a story seem short
is to tell it slowly.
Never judge the condition of your
patient from his appearance during a
conversation. See how he looks an
hour afterward.
Never put a hot water bottle next to
the skin. Its efficiency and the pa
tient’s safety are both enhanced, by
surrounding the bottle with flannel.
Never allow the patient to take the
temperature himself. Many patients
are more knowing than nurses where
there is a question of temperature.
Hot Croas Buna.
In its early days, when, It is to be
hoped, it was more toothsome than it
is now, the hot cross bun played some
part in converting the people of these
islands to Christianity. Pagan Ahgland
was in the habit of eating cakes in
honor of the goddess of spring, and
Christian missionaries found that
though they could alter the views of
the people in reference to religious
matters they could not induce them to
withhold from the consumption of con
fectionery. So they put the sign of the
cross upon the bun of the Saxon era
and launched it upon missionary enter
prise which has extended through the
intervening centuries and survived till
now.—London Tit-Bits.
Finding: More Material.
“How large is your Mammoth cave?”
asked the foreign tourist.
“Nobody knows exactly,” said the na
tive. “It’s so large, though, and people
get lost in it so easily, that when a
man is about to explore it he makes his
will and wishes his weeping friends
goodby.”
‘Most astonishing! I never heard that
before!”
“Oh, well, of course, it Isn't quite so
bad as that. I was only joking.”

Another curious custom among Amer
icans is that when they tell an amaz
ing lie they call it a joke.”]—Chicago
