Johnson, who departed this life January 18, 1903, aged 28 years. He has crossed the silent river to the realms of eternal silence, no more will we meet his cherry face in onr council or enjoy hiB pleasant comradeship in the work of our noble order. A link in our mystic circle has been broken that cannot be again replaced. A devoted SOD, a loving brother has been called to that bourne from which none ever returns. A loving mother and de- j oted sisters are left to mourn bis loss. Therefore, be it resolved, 1st. That in the death of Chalmers L. Johnton, Brookland Council, No. 35, Jr. O U. A.

One Theory of the Great Man's Fall- i 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 Lis notes i and letters, typewriting had not been ! invented, and the trembling marshals, j afraid of disobeying and striving to interpret the indecipherable commands, | loitered, wandered and did not come tip ; to the scratch, or not to the right j scratch. Thus Waterloo was lost. Can- i not you fancy Grouchy Landing round j Napoleon's notes on that sanguinary Sunday? "I say." cries the marshal to i his aid-do-cump. "is that word (iem- | bloux or VVavre? Is this r.luchcr or j Hulow?" 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 Xey were equally puzzled and kept on sending cavalry to piaces where it was very uncomfortable (though our men seldom managed to hit any .of the cavaliers. 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 j scene of action. Nobody dared to say, "Sire, what does this figure of a centiped mean, and how are we to construe these two thick strokes flanked by blots?" The imperial temper was peppery; the great man would have lorn off his interrogator's epaulets and danced upon them. Did he not once draw his pistol to slioot a little dog that barked at his horse? And when the pistol missed fire the great soldier threw it at the dog and did no*t hit him. The little dog retreated with the honors of war. Such was the temper of Napoleon, and we know what Marlborough thousrht of the value of an equable temper. Nobody could ask Bonaparte to write a legible hand, so his generals lived a life of conjecture as to his meaning, and Waterloo was not a success. 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 Copenhagen 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 figlit 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 I 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 patient's safety are both enhanced by surrouuding 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 Cross Buns.

A Wet I'mlirclla. Never leave an umbrella standing 011 the point in the ordinary way when wet. The water trickles down, spoiling the silk and making the wires rusty. It is also a mistake to open it and leave it standing, as this stretches the silk, making it baggy so that it is impossible to fold it smoothly. The proper way is to shake out as much of the water as possible, then stand the umbrella 011 its handle to drain. Comparison* Arc Odious. Perkins.
