Advice for Wag. Earner-s. A dinner should be chosen with care in the summer months, especially by those in moderate circumstances whose income is dependent on their health. Wines and vegetables should be in sym- pathy with the meat. Thus with epi- grammes de pigeonnaux drink claret cup and eat black Hamburg grapes; with venison, take dry champagne, melon, and French beans; with ortalo ans, chateau Yquem; with artichaux a la qarigoule, tokay. These niceties mafiseem trivial to a man with a vast appetite and uncultured palate, but they give sweetness and light to the banquet; they are the results of a subtle and rec- ondite chemistry which renders impossi- ble both indigestion and dissatisfaction. —Boston Journal. _ So Near and Yet '0 Far.

NAPOLEON’S SWELL" FRIENDS. , Oflhand Way in Which He Spoke of His Royal Correspondents. The great Napoleon’s character was a strange mixture of eager desire to en- joy .the honors and glitter of -royalty and_of contempt for those whom he found upon thrones. It was as if he thought a crown the thing most of all to be desired in the world, but had no respect for kings who had not them- selves won their crowns. He laughed at all attempts to prove that his own blood was derived from royalty, and said that his nobility did not go back any further than his receipt of his cor- poral’s commission, says the Philadel- phia Enquirer. It is told that Bonaparte presided one day in the French Senate, and, taking out his pocket handkerchief, accident. ally dropped several letters on the door. Senators scrambled to be the first to pick up the letters, which were all finally gathered up and returned to the Emperor in a bunch. “Oh, never mind,” said he; “they are of no consequence at all; simply some letters from Alexander and Frederick, who tease me almost to death with their. troublesome correspondence.” Alexander was the Emperor of Rus- sia. and Frederick the King of Prussia. . “And, by the way,” Napoleon went on, “Alexander—see—writes a better hand than Frederick. But (searching his pockets for another letter) Francis, here, writes worse than either of them." _ ' Francis was the Emperor of Austria, who, by the way. judging by the sam- ples of Bonaparte’s handwriting that re. main, certainly did not write a worse hand than the great Emperor of the French. And. at any rate Alexander, Frederick and Francis, calling to their aid one George Of England, were event- ually able to write the doom of this se- vere critic of theircorrespondence. Advertising on Trees. One of the most disagreeable of spec- tacles along village streets and country roads is the sight of noble trees disfig- ured by flaring advertisements and no« tices of various sorts. A splendid oak, which commanded the landscape long before the Revolution, and arouses the sentiment ‘of veneration in the mind of any one who has a. love for the beauti- ful relics of the past , receives no re- spect from the village people. Tothis tree a. local tradesmen attaches 3. hide- ous, advertisement of a clothing. store. Below that the advertisement of some fertilizer, rudely printed on cotton cloth, flaps in the wind, offending the eyes of human beings and frightening passing horses. . Upon a great elm in a village green ‘ are tacked all manner of announce- ments—0f local concerts and meetings, of lost breastpins and jackknives, and of auction sales. Its gray and venerable sides are furrowed and defaced by the nails driven there by several genera- tions. Seeing a. tree served in this man- ner, the correspondent of a contempo- rary has proposed that a placard to read as follows be added to the rest: “Lost! The dignity of this tree, through the disrespect Of the towns- people!" This ill treatment of old trees is gen- erally the result of thoughtlessness, and not of deliberate intention, and it is possible that such a placard might lead people to think. There should certain- ly be a. convenient place in every vil- - lags for such announcements as those described; but that place is not the most graceful and venerable tree in the town—nor, indeed, any tree at all.— An Afiidavit. This is to certify that on May 11th, I walked to Melick’s drug store on a pair of crutches and bought a bottle of Chamber- lain’s Pain Balm for inflammatory rheuma- tism which had crippled me up.
