Napoleon stood on 1 the bank of a wide river gazing 1 i across to where the enemy had * I planted batteries, which he desired ' to attack with artillery. "How wide is that river?" was the 1 question pu,t to the engineer. "Let me get my instruments," was 0 the reply as he turned to go for them. 0 "I must know at once," the ems peror insisted. The engineer went down to the level bank of the river, and, standing erect, gradually bent his head ? forward till the edge of his hat brim r . 3 just touched the line from his eyes ,to the water line at the opposite bank of the river. Then, keeping his head bent as it was, he wheeled his quarter turn till his eyes looked along the hat brim and met the land at a point on the same side of the river on which he stood. Here he' noted a rock or tree near the point at which his eyes met the ground, and, calling a soldier, directed that a stake be driven near that point, as he should direct. Then, by motioning just where to drive the stake, he fixed the point at which the line from hat brim and eye reached the J l bank. Turning to the emperor, 1 "Your majesty," said' he, "the disf tance from where I stand to the l stake is the width of the river." And so it was, as you can readily f see. If the emperor did not pro , mote that officer?why, then the 1 story does not end as it should! ? - St. Nicholas Magazine. a One for Exchange. t Sam had been apprehended by the sheriff for chicken stealing.

I hereby appoint these i two gentlemen present in court to c defend you. Have you anything to ' say?" ? Sam's face brightened at the 5 judge's words. "Tw'o lawyers, yo' honah!" he ext claimed delightedly; and then, with an engaging grin', "yas, suh, yo' r honah; but, ef it ain't crowdin' the s law, can't I swap off one of dem - lawyers for a witness?"?New York = iiiveniiig jrost.
