NAPOLEON'S OLD COAT.
Garment Fcr Whici H? Had 3 Sort cf
Superstitious Reverence.
Ar tho 1-1 Vend miaire Napoleon
was in such a state of pove:i that ;
In- clothes were all torn anl he ?1;-1
not own a >word. He had to borrow j
one, and the day following hi- sac- '
cess he had to pet a quantity of
cloth from the >tate to have ff suitable
uniform made. From thi- moment,
however, he paid great atom- ;
tion to his toilet and took a certain 1
pride in richly decorated clothes.
At Marengo lie wore a uniform '
covered with gold embroidery, a uni- ;
form to which lie attached a sort of I
superstitious reverence. When lie j
went to Milan, for instance, to be j'
crowned king of Italy lie attended
a review on the field of battle in the !
old fashioned and much tamMied |.
suit lie had worn on the memorable I '
ISfh of June, 1800.
He never parted with this old
coat. He brought it with him to
St. Helena, and when he wa- dead
his companions put it over him (
When Xapoleon became consul he .
still took great care*of his toilet, j
but he affected simplicity all the j
more, as he wished his generals and ,
suit to he gorgeous in gold uniforms j
and plumed helmets. ,
l( was then he took to wearing
the gray redingote and the hat ^
which, as well as the uniform, has
been decreed to the Kmpress Ku- t
genie. At first the hat was low
crowned with a wine uoruer, out rv
tie by little it got higher and higher 1
until it became the hat every one
knows. Th? hat wa- of long hairy 6
felt, what hatter- called 'vn.-ror *
francaise," and it had a lining of
grayish gi"e:i silk. Napoleon wore c
his hats for a long time and sent ?
them to be repaired again aod

** ?A writer dc-criVs the interesting
' operations of the hee called the
"leaf cutter." This insect drills in
a sand bank a hole ten inches deep
and half an inch in diameter and (
divides it into about a dozen com- I
partunnts or cells. Kach coll is .
composed of pieces of leaf, cut into
proper'shapes/and carefully fitted
together. Hose leaves and sweet ?
j>ea leaves are among the favorites (
of the bees. The cutting is done;?
with the jaws, while the six legs
hold the leaf in position am] enable
the insect to turn it-elf about with 1
the precision ot a pair 01 compares. .
B' Some of the cat pieces are perfect j
r circles. Others arc oblong iigures '
I of varying proportions. Having cut M
' out the segment of leaf, an opera- 1
tion requiring about twenty seconds, (
the bee carries it to the sand bank *
and then returns for more materials '
.When a piece has been nearly cut '
otT the bee, in order to prevent tear- 1
ing, poises it-eif in the air with its 1
wings and completes the operation :

The Goiden Fleece.N , ]
It was on Jan. 10, 1129, in the j ]
ancient city of Bruges that Philip M
the Good, duke of Burgundy and | <
Brabant, sot the climax u]>on the j
scene of indescribable splendor that I
formed the setting of his nuptials ! i
with Isabel of Portugal by issuing
the proclamation which called into
being the Order of the Golden
Fleece, for centuries the most coveted
distinction for the mighty of this
earth, the reward for stainless chivalry
and deeds of heroism and prowess.
forfeitable at the least deviation
from the strictest code of knightly
honor. The conduct of the sover
eign himself, chief of the oruer,
was subject to investigation and
censure by the chapter, and many
ere the occasions when the assembled
knights availed themselves of
their dangerous privilege.
Choosing a Charioteer.
A certain king once required a
charioteer. There were many candidates
for the honor, and one by
one they were brought before the
king, lie inquired of each, 'Tf you
were driving my chariot near a
precipice how near could you steer
without falling over?" The first
said two feet, th^next that he could
go safely within ? foot of the brink,
a third that a few inches would he
quite enough for him. A fourth

came and. hearing the question, said
at oncv, "J i' I were driviii_r the
kind's ckaro: I should consider it
my duly to kecj> as far away as possible
from the precipice." The king
felt that he was the safo-t man, and
lie was at once engaged.

A Modest Village Blacksmith.
The little village could not boast
>f having many entertainments, and
1 concert was an event which was I
ooked forward to witd delight by
:hc inhabitants. It was at of I

sang with great feeling "The

The Leading Imp Is Small, but Mean
Out of All Proportion.
It may not he generally known I
hat the black art flourishes to a I
ertain extent in southern India, es>ecially
on the west coast.
The average Malayalee Keralan
s superstitious to the very highest
legree. lie considers himself to he
ilways under the influence of some
levil or other (the number of devils
ind demigods on the west coast is (
egion), and every house in Kerala
las a temple dedicated to the patron 1
levil of the family. i
In this country the place of honor ,
s given by the superstitious Maayalee
to the imp Kuttichathcn,
vho is considered by him to he the
nost mischievous and frightful of
lemons. This imp is about three
'eet high, with hair all over the
>ody and capable of any mischief,
lie is the most dreaded of all and
manifests his displeasure in a thou:and
ways.
Primarily he begins with throwing
stones over the house of a man
under his displeasure. If steps are
not taken immediately after the
preliminary stages of the manifestation
of his displeasure it is said the
consequences generally are very violent.
Tt is said that everv sorcerer lias
a devil or demigod under his com-1
mand to do his wishes and carry out j
his commands. To get the mastery j
over a devil or demigod, it is said,,
one has to undergo severe trials.
Keeping vigils, incessantly uttering
the name of the devil or the demi-'
god he wishes to subdue, in crema-.
tories and lonely jungles, is the
primary duty of a man who aspires
to become a sorcerer.
On the fortv-first day of the vigil!
the devil will present himseli to tne
candidate who aspires to take the
decree of honors in sorcerv and surrender
himself to the latter. A sorcerer
who has already one devil at
his command generally aspires to
exercise sovereignty over another.
This can only be enjoyed after a
great trouble. It is said that the
demon whom the sorcerer wishes to
captivate will generally a-k the candidate
to fetch inaccessible and impossible
things as a proof that lie is
sincere and capable of doing anything.
They say that such candidates
generally meet their demand
through the aid of the devil already
under command. Indian World.
