Of course, when Napoleon fell, even his claim to the kingdom of Italy, which he had managed to enforce for many years, fell also.

Expression Used When Debtor Gets Best of 'Creditor# by Question able Methods in Basi ns*^. Dealt. Distribution and salt* of tho govern ment supply of bacon brought to the minds of many who are ftftjuftltltwl with old sayings the ancient colloqui alism, "Saving one's bacon." Tho thrifty housewife, laying in a store of tho smoked moat, assures ^her near neighbors that she In "saving her ba con." The housewife, of course, is toll lug the truth, but as she repeats the ancient colloquialism site falls to use It In Its proper sense. The housewife who Is ho gay over "saving her bacon" would be horri fied and Justly provoked If her neigh bor would reply ? "What ! You cheating your creditors?" And that Is Just what she mean* if she employs the term properly. The story of the origin of th?**colloquinIlsm Is credited to Con necticut, according to tho Hartford Times. In the (fays when the Charter Oak Was green, and Sir Edmund - Andreas was, more green, New^ London boasted of a citizen of the name of Fltz John Winthrop, Ho was a sailor, and more over of literary tastes. These tastes were more distinctly commercial. That Is, while ho Was quite a bibliophile on his own account, and had a goodly store of books, he was In tho business of collecting books for others. Prob ably because he was something of a connoisseur, the colonist who coveted foreign published books engaged him to obtain them when he was In port on tho otheraslde; or, knowiuif their ftuls, he would, of his own account, make the purchases, and bring them over, disposing of them at a fair profit. Among *th? customers was a lawyer who was also Interested In shipping, politics and several other things which In our later day might ro by the name of speculations. At the time when he was flush with money he would invest in books, and depute Capt. Fit* John to obtain them abroad. Among, other works for which he had something of a penchant were those of Lord Bacon. He managed to have quite a sizable importation at different times. On one occasion, when the captain came Into port and brought him a bale of books, he found the lawyer In financial difficulties? of s shady char acter. On the following day the prop erty was to be "distrained." Under the colonial luw among other things exempt from the claws of the. creditor was meat of various descriptions and quantities. Bewailing the fact that his books must go under the hammer, he was disconsolate when the captain came( with the additional volumes. He hpd a decent sdpply of wits and he and the lawyer, working industriously by night, managed to stow away a [ good deal of the library in meat bar- ? rels In the cellar. Oft top of each was a layer of bacon In coarse salt. The following day, when the sheriffs clerk came with his red chalk, he scrawled his "X" on each of the barrels, and the contents were exempted* It must have been some time later when Capt. Fit 7. John related the story, and man aged to add, "Leave It to any one If them bar'ls didn't hold Bacon I" And so when a debtor got the best of his creditors by questionable methods, the proceedings got to be known as "sav ing one's bacon." ~ 7 The Fathead. It surely would be Imprudent to ad dress that formidable creature the swordflsh as Fathead, yet the term would be quite appropriate. The heads of 100 average swordflsh will yield sixty-five gallons, of an oil that has high market value. Refined and sun bleached. it Is Indistinguishable from whale off, and fetches the same price. In fact, commercially, It is whale oil. Whale oil Is obtained -on a much larger scale from halibut heads, which are.treated in the same way as the swordflsh heads ? I. e.t cooked to u pu)p with- steam and pressed. A short ton of them will yield 40 gallons o( oil. Boston and Gloucester (Mass.) ' annually produce 12,00(J gallons of re fined oil from halibut heads. Awny back in the seventies some body discovered that salmon heads were rich In oil, and since th6n the production of it has been a consider able Industry in connection with {be Pacific salmon fishery. By 1805 the annual output had risen to 50,000 gal lons. Force of Habit Only. "Billy Youngdad's baby is beginning to talk now." said Jones to Smith, the other day. .
