It is really good for us to an away from home once in a while, lor we have a chance to observe the way other people do and how they

“gpg woman who had been held closely beneath her own root by a
famil-,r was astonished to dis
growins ` ~ cover that there was any other way,
of serving carrots except cut in thin slices and buttered. She had read oi creamed carrots and the rules lor pre- paring them. but being somewhat lack- ing ln imagination, she lied never thought lt worth while trying any of these. So when she took dinner with nn old school friend one day, she was quite delighted with a big dish of tal- lyhg peas served to her-a well-sen. soiled mixture of green peas and tiny cubes oi carrots.
She had grown Just a little careless,

People who live in remote -places,
or who stay alone by themselves a great deal are almost sure _to become eccentric. Little by lrlttle they drop the small niceties which are called forth 'by actual mingling and inter. course with the outside world, and niier a time life becomes it burden. As soon as we wall ourselves' in, we lose all the chance of progress and get into ruts. Plan deliberately to eat away from home occasionally, and let every such opportunity prove a distinct benefit.-Public Ledger, Philadelphia.
ST HELENA, PLACE OF EX-ILE.
St. llelena, the island whose special- ty is the entertainment ol' deposed monarchs, lins good economic reasons for its reported desire to have the Kaiser for a prisoner. ` .\'iipoleon wns its most famous and best paying “guest." though not the only one. -Diiiizulu, Zulu King, was ii more recent exile; sont there after he lcd n rebellion ugtiiiist the British during the Transvtlal in 1889. While Naiioleoii was at St. Helena, “pl-ofi. towing," nt the expense of the Bonn- pnrtc household, and the niiinerons iiieinbers of the garrison sent to guard him, was reduced to it fine art by the island citizens.
ln fact, it was the high cost of St.
llelcnu living which created part of the i`riction between Napoleon and the l~lritlsh Governor of thc island, Sir Hudson Lowe. instead oi living within the $40,000 allowance for innin- lenncc of lioiinpniue and the hall' liun» tired nienibers ol’ his entourage, the hills for ti year iiiiiouiited to .tin-on iiincs that sum.
iipon complaint ol’ the Governor,
irliirli Napoleon resented, thc cx~ iiioiiurcli executed zi bit of "ploy to the ;::iilci'ics," by orderiiig his silver sold :ind his bi-d broken up ici' wood, which, when rcporit-d in lijnglnnrl, t-rcntctl so much critirlsin oi` the Gov- teriinr, already none too popular, that furtiicr renioiistrnnces were not made.
Niipoleon's wants were few. His
prliicipnl luxury was books; his diver- sions chess playing and digging iii his garden. Like the former Kaiser, he *Dent many hours with the Bible. lic llrvirsscd no piety, however, frankly “dllimilltl that he was making a study oi certain Old Testament books to show tliiit nionnrchies had divine sanc- tion. :uid hc also spoke oi' wanting to “"'}"‘ -ll iil0ll0H1‘=1iili on “Tho Cani- llillstis ol' Moses."
Guarding Napoleon.
Since St. Helena is some 700 miles
from the nearest lnnd, Ascension is- land. and 1200 miles from tho nearest M""'-“ll DON, the oxtrcnic precautions taken by Lowe io prevent the escape ol' the innii who once ruled half of l‘-UPUDU, created considerable nniusc lncnt. Sir lludson was greatly dis- llll‘i1t‘_d one day to find ii newly arriv- _Gd (oriscan priest riding liorscbnck In ti cont. similar to Napoleon'-s, bo- liovinix the compatriot involved in ai
blot to heceive the guards.
The French (ioniinissioner coniplnln-
tid that tho sight ol' n passiiig dog was 011011511 to induce the Governor to Pliillt it new sentinel on the spot; but P'°“`h1\DS the most eiclrenie of the many “musillil stories ol’ I.owo's solicitudc was thc occasion of his protest against .\upoleon’s plmitiiig sonic while :ind i<I'_t‘f‘ii beans, sensing in this roiiiliin- iilio of colors n subtle illusion to tho w_liitl>. ting ol' the Bourhons itnii the tlistinctivc green unit’oriii of the gen- oral.
