Just to be sure that everything was right she gave a glance into the dining room. There she beheld a busy com- pany of monkeys hard at work, grin- ning and jabbering, their cheeks and arranged a tempting show of tweetmeats, flowers and fruit. When dressing time came Lady Barker charg- ed her servants to be on the watch and take care of everything; but something of interest occurred outside, and every servant left the room, quite forgetting to close the open window.

By this measurement he livides ‘ obtained 8 for the freezing point and le and 53 for the boiling point. His scale now .' He read: Zero. freezing, 8; body heat, 24. lt side and boiling water, 53.

His death took place on June 5. His health had been declining for a long time, and the cause of death was a cancer in the stomach. He was born in 1769. The cost of his maintenance at St. Helena was each year between £200,000 and £300,000.” Obituary of Napoleon. When the great Napoleon died there were doubtless among the readers of the London Globe many persons who would have liked to read a full ac- count of his life, but, if so, they were disappointed, for the Globe in its issue of July 4, 1821, contained only the fol- lowing brief notice: ed.

So exten- sive did these abstractions of the cov- erlets become that a huge felt counter- pane was made, which is let down by pulleys from the room of the building.
