Napoleon’s Drill Book.
Some curious finds are being made by French inhabitants returning to the lands recently wrested from the grasp of the enemy. In the library of a ruined chateau was found a notebook bearing on its title page the signature “Napoleon Bonaparte.” The book was dated at the time when he was a corporal,-and was filled with notes referring to foot drill. In' another case, a dugout, once a German battalion headquarters, contained a well-filled bed of excellent mushrooms.
