Memoirs of Napoleon
In Three Volumes
The personal reminiscences of Baron de Me'neval, for
thirteen years private secretary to Napoleon Bonaparte,
bring; out, as no history can, many enlightening and
interesting side lights on the character of that greatest of
leaders. De Meneval's descriptions have the piquancy
and interest possible only because he was an actual eye
witness of the scenes and incidents of which he writes.
Their reliability and historical interest can be judged by
the fact that the very conservative French Academy
publicly recommends them.

How Women Were Made.
An ancient Hindu legend has
h that woman was first made in
lis wise: Twashtri, the god
discovered that with man he had
exhausted all his creative mate
rials, and that not one solid el
ement had been left. This, of
course, greatly perplexed Twash
tri, and caused him to fall into a
profound meditation. When he
arose from it he proceeded as
follow: He took 'the roundness
of the moon, the undulating
curves of the serpent, the grace
ful twist of the creeping plant,
the light shivering of the grass
blade and the slenderness of the
willow, the velvety softness of
the flowers, the lightness of the

This is the "ThornhiU" Wagon
the Wagon that Must Make Good
The best known materials the labor
of master workmen the aid of the most
ingenious modern machinery have been
employed to make the Thornhill wagon.
The wheels are made with excessive
care. For the spokes the manufacturers
use the finest hickory machine driven
to insure the right dish. The hubs are
of oak," thoroughly seasoned and banded
with double refined sable iron.
The bolsters are of the best white oak.
They have an iron plate at top and bot
tom, riveted through and through mul
tiplying their strength.
The "Thornhill" has a malleable front
hound plate that is braced to the hounds
at all points. This is an exclusive
"Thornhill" feature. It prevents the
gears from ever getting out of line and
causing hard pulling.
"Thornhill" wagons are equipped with
long sleeve malleable non-breakable
skeins that insure light running, and out
last any other skein. Each skein is
fitted to its axle with a Defiance ma
chineinfallibly accurate. This machine
insures the right pitch and tuck, makes
light draft a certainty. 0
The axles are of toughest hickory
the steel axles of the best refined steel.
The sides of "Thornhill" beds are
made of poplar. It costs the makers
more but it holds paint better and gives
better service.

To prevent flies in garbage
two ounces of dry borax should
be used to the can. Borax is not
a poison and the garbage may be
used as a food for hogs.

. Borax Kills Flies.
Remember this method for
preventing flies and use it in the
early spring.
A small amount of powdered
borax sprinkled daily on manure
piles and garbage will prevent
the breeding of house flies. It
does not kill the adult fly but it
prevents the eggs from hatch
ing. By preventing the breeding of
flies near the house such diseases
typhoid and tuberculosis, the
germs of which are spread by
flies, will be greatly reduced.
Manure is not injured as a fer
tilizer when treated with borax
at the rate of ten ounces to eight
bushels of manure. This is
enough borax to do the work.
When used in stables borax
should be sprinkled in the quan
tities given above with a flour
sifter or fine sieve.
Most-of the borax should be
applied arounrt the outer edges
of the pile, as that is where (
most of the maggots are found.
The manure should then be
sprinkled with two or three gal
lons of water to eight bushels of
manure.
David J. Downey, of Spring
field, Mass., had an exciting ex
perience near West Warren,
when he was carried several hun
dred yards on the back of a
wounded buck and then tossed
aside, apparently more used up
than the buck he had ridden.
Downey and Otto Reim were
in the wcods hunting. At lunch
time they sat down in a clearing
and began to eat. Reim heard
a deer in .the brush and shot,
striking the animal. Within a
minute a buck came charging,
through the clearing, plunging
to the ground in front of Dow
ney. Believing it dead Downey
jumped on its back, shouting to
Reim to hurry and cut the an
imal's throat. The buck howev
er, was far from, dead, and
leaped to its feet again, bearing
Downey, The animal then dash
ed into the woods and ran some
distance before Downey was
thrown off. Reim saw the oc
currence but feared to shoot lest
he should hit his companion.
The deer escaped.

Evolution of the Dollar Sign.
The abbreviation "Ps," to signify pe

dollar mark, according to a Spanish
American scientist. When Ameri

Spanish were strong competitors foi

'thaler" or "thaller." a coin much used
In commerce at that period and Tvhictt

Spanish coinage. The peso or piaster,
which was the Spanish name for the
"pieces of eight," was worth approxi

Speed of the Street Song.
One of the curious things about the
popular song Is the rapidity of Its dis
semination among the street children.
Few of them can hear it at first hand
at the music halls, yet long before the
latest catchy tune has found its way to
the barrel organs or Sunday newspaper
yon will hear it rendered with amazing
accuracy by tiny boys and girls. It
seems to travel like rumor through an
East Indian bazar. London Standard.
Judiciously Used Ensilage Is a Chvap
and Valuable Feed.
Accurate data regarding the value
of silage in a ration for fattening
she'ep and lambs are scarce, hut what
there are indicate tliat it is useful, says
Ellis Roil of the University of Ne
braska. As far back as the early nine
ties the Michigan experiment station
fed some lambs on silage and othee j
foodstuffs. The gist of their findings
is to the effect that a mixture of
fodders composed largely of a good
quality of silage proved a cheap and
successful ration for fattening lambs.
The Iowa station at Ames mado
some comparative tests of dry hays,
roots and silage as roughage in 1900
and 1007. In lots fed the first winter
the silage cheapened the ration conoid- I
erably. During the second winter the
various lots were fed for along period,
1GS days, and the silage lot refused to
eat much silage. They ate almost as
much grain and hay as the other lot
did and the gain on these silage lambs
was more expensive than was that
with some of the other food combina
tions. But the average of the two
years was favorable to the use of
Bilage as a means of cheapening ths
ration. The lambs from all lots fin
ished into market toppers, but the
dressed carcasses showed the silage
lambs a little superior on the hook.
Taking these few experiments then
Into consideration and also the gen
eral results which various feeders have
obtained in practical work, it seems
that silage has an Important place

The Grocery Game.
At least eight players are necessarj
to play "grocery game." These art
seated in a circle, and one of the play
ers stands iu the middle. The player
in the middle gives each one in the
circle the name of some article to dp
purchased at the grocery. Then, stand
Ing In the center, be calls out the
name of two articles, the names or
which he has given to the players
The two players representing thest
two groceries must change places,,
while the player in the middle tries te
get into one of the seats. At any time
the player in the middle may call one
"Groceries!'' Then all the players
must change their seats, and the one
not getting a seat must take the placa
of the one in the middle. This is a
variation of the well known "fruit
basket"

The girl scouts have an organizatlor

divided into patrols and troops with a

second class scouts. Their motto is
