N A PO L E6 pT' SAW F UL HA N 0. One Thenrr ' "real Man's fall nra at Waterloo, Napoleon, according to Alexander iMimn, lost such battles ns he did lose bernuso ho wrote such a fiendish band. Ills generals could not rend his notes and letters, typewriting hnd not been Invented, mid the trembling mnrslinls, afraid of disobeying and striving to In terpret the Inileelplicrnlilo commands, loitered, wandered nnd did not come up to tho scratch, or not to the right scratch. Thus Wnterlno wns lost. Can not you fancy Uroileby liand ,i round Napoleon's notes on that Siingiiliiiiry Sunday? "I any," cries the niti rxlinl to his nlddecnnip, "Is tlint word (lem bloiix or Wnvre? Is this Itltichcr or Hulow?"

Napoleon may never have been npprlsed of these I'lieilliistiilices. Ills old writing master was not on the scene of action. Nobody dared to say, "Sire, what does tills figure of u centl ied mean, and how are we to construn these two thick strokes flanked, by blots?" Tho Imperial temper was pep pery; the grent man would have torn off his Interrogator's epaulets nnd danced upon them. IHd he not once draw his pistol to shoot a little dog tbnt barked nt Ids horse? And when the pistol missed liro the grent soldier threw It nt the dog and did not hit him. The little dog retreated with the hon ors of wnr. Such wns the temper of Napoleon, nnd wo know what Marlborough thought of the value of an equable temper. Nobody could ask Iliinapiirto to write a legible hand, so Ids generals lived a life of conjecture us to bis meaning, nnd Waterloo wns not n suc cess, mid the emperor never knew why. Of nil his seven or eight theories of his failure at Waterloo, his handwriting was not one. Vet If this explanation lind occurred to him Napoleon would certainly have blamed his pens. Ink and paper.

Never Judgo tho condition of your patient from his appearanco during a conversation. See how ho looka an hour afterward. Never put a hot water bottlo next to tho skin. Its olllcioncy nnd tho pa tient's safety aro both enhanced by surrounding tho bottlo with flunnel. Never allow tho patient to tnko the temperature himself.

In lta early days, when, it is to be hoped, it was more toothsome than it is now, the hot cross buu played some part In converting the people of these islands to Christianity. Pagan England was in tho habit of eating cakes in honor of the goddoss 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 tbetn to withhold from the consumption of con fectionery. So they put tho 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.

Life ALLIGATORS AS BOATMATES Kinerlrnea With Una That If Beea Apparently Killed. Alligators move rapidly under water, am hnrd to see, harder to hit, and the harpoon will poiietrntn only the least necesslhlo portions of thn body. Nor does the title to thn bide necessarily pass with making fast the wenpon. One nfternoon In tho ('heesehowlta ken river I harpooned a largo alligator which towed mo up and down the at renin for nn hour or two and then sulked In lis deepest part. I pulled on thn linn until tho boat wns directly over him mid stirred hi in up with tho harpoon pole, lie rolled himself up on the lino In the manner peculiar to sharks nnd alligators and bnuged thn boit suggestively.

We re pelled the attack with liarxoti polo nnd rllle. Tho former was promptly bitten In three pli-cos, but the latter ap parently Mulshed blin. It was so nearly dark that we decided to carry him In tlio skiff n mile down the river to where our sloop wns anchored. We broke tho seats out of the boat mill together liiim nged to lift the bend of the alligator aboard mid tie It. We then tied tlio oilier end, when the reptile came to life ami landed a blow with Ids tall which lined me out of the skiff Into the saw grass, with the breath knocked out of my body nnd my band nnd face badly cut by the grass. Boat nnd boatmen were eapslziil. As my rllle had fortunately been left upon the bank, I wns able to kill the nlllgn tor ii in. We secured him by flouting the boat under him nnd then balling It out. The nlllgator completely filled the boat, so that my companion and 1 sat upon his hack ns wo paddled down the liver with gunwales unpleasantly nenr the wnter. It wns growing dnrk, and the wnter around us wns becoming alive with alligators. While we were reflecting upon our overloaded condition our alli gator came to life again and shifted ballast until water poured over the gunwale.

Some porsous aro of tho opinion that the first writing was upon thin ploces of wood. Prom their convenience this seems probable. Such boards wore usod at an early period by the Greeks and Romans, and were frequently covered with wax, which was of course more easily written upon than tho bare wood. Where wax was used errors were reudily erased by rubbing with tho blunt end of the piece of metal which served for a pen. To make tho writing more vlsiblo it appears that soiuo black substunce was smeared over tho sur face of tho white wax and remained In the scratched marks.
