WRITING WITH FIRE.

A Simple ITamicr In Which Roys and Girls Can Amuse Their Krieini*. Did you ever sec any onu write his name with llamo on a piece of paper without burning anything? The fire seems to travel over tlio surface until the letters are all outlined, and then it goes out. It looks very weird iudoed, especially if the lights have been turned down and the performance has been preceded by a lot of stories about ghosts unci other uncanny topics. But, liko the -wonderful snow, it's nothing but a trick, and any boy or girl can do it. "What you need are a few cents' worth of saltpeter, which you can buy at any •apothecary's .shop, and sumo pieces of •unsized paper. Drop tho saltpeter into bowl of water until no nioro will dissolve. Then take a wooden toothpick or any other sharpened stick, dip it in tho saltpeter and write whatever you liko ion tho paper.

A regular littlo show mitrht bo arsrangwe by a clever boy, or a girl either, for that matter. It might hotter be both.

A Hearty Salufeltion.

There is at hand an amusing anecdote about Mr. Tree's littlo 10-year-old daughter, Viola, who was recently acting before the queen at Balmoral. Her majesty gavo the child a lovely pearl and rub3* brooch as a souvenir, and, pleased with Viola's dainty grace, held out her hand for tho littlo girl to kiss. Viola, all unsuspecting, grasped the queen's hand and shook it heartily, and there was much amusement among those present.—London Lady.

I. Boyhood.

Napoleon may bo said to havo had a threefold life. Ho waff an Italian by descent, a Corsican by variation, and a Frenchman by nationality. He was the last b3T a close contingency for Corsica had only become French a few months before his birth. We may here 3 briefly at the aspect of tho world at the date of his apparition.

Tho Bourbon monarchy of France was in its hectic heyday—knowing little, and fearing nothing. Its wisest organ was the minister of Foreign Affairs, tho great Choiseul. Louis XV. was in the forty-sixth year of his reign. Italy consisted of distracted principali-

In America the rebels of New England had been outlawed by Parliament for their "rash and hasty proceeding" against tho tax 011 tea. Only a few miles from the birthsceno in the house of Carlo Buonaparte was stationed a Provencal lieutenant with his regiment of Lorraine, and his name was Mirabeau!

Letitia di Buonaparte was not quite nineteen years of age when her war-god was born. Incidents in the first years of the Napoleonic childhood there aro nono recorded. We aro left to himself and to his schoolmate Bourienne for our knowledge of tho earliest characteristics and events of his life.

Tho Corsican had a prodigious memory, and it reached back well toward his infancy. When in after years ho spoko of himself—as lie was much given to doing—ho generally used exaggeration but we may not doubt that there was always a vein of sterling truth under-

The young Buonaparte was from a babe abrupt and quarrelsome. His willfulness was extreme. Tho likelihood is that he never once in his life willingly obeyed anybody! Near his death, at Longwood. lie declared that he was never afraid. His ehihi-passion was frequentiv excited against Joseph, over whom he exercised a censorious sway from the time when they toddled together in the birth-room or fought in the yard. He appears to have loved his mother, and to havo obeyed her in a morose and mathematical way but in his last talk he indicates that his conduct as a child to',vard tho mol her was rather prudential than affectionate. He hears witness that the liantolino lioness was tender in the treatment of him, as well as severe and just.

To their fourth child, Carlo Brondparte and his wife gavo tho name of Napoleon. At the first it was Napolenne. In this form the possessor retained it until, flaring up in Paris in tho character of a young Jacobin, lie threw away tho Italian and aristocratic fictions in his name, to become plain, republican

BONAI'AKT!:.

Tho first teaching of the child Bonaparte was given by bis mother. Then ho was sent, in his sixth year, to a child's school kept by a woman. He went from tho parental threshold in that same arbitrary and belligerent mood which characterized him ever. Ho fought with his schoolmates, among whom ho appeared with no sign of neatness in his clothing, and nothing debonair in his manner.

At this time, liesido his parents, he had two important relatives. One of these was Lucien Buonaparte, brother of his grandfather Joseph and the other was Joseph Feseli, afterwards tho Cardinal Fesch, half-brother of his mother. The latter was a studious lad of twelve, who took an interest in his sister's son and the former had wealth and influence in the island, both of which he was willing to bestow on tho linnaparto I schoolboy. Young Fesch aidod him with his lessons, and exorcised a conservative influence on his temper. How little might it bo foreseen that thoyoungor of theso twain, witJi his surly look and long hair and stockings down over his shoes in the dust of tho playground, should one day, from an imperial palacc in tho most splendid city in the world despatch his elder playmato as ambassador to tho Popo of Homo!

What were tho civil and social influences around the schoolhouso of Bona-

parter The sentiments of that place are u«iong tho most potent and enduring forces of life. The child nature imbibes unconsciously the prevailing principles of the hour and the character is forming whilo tho first hesitant words aro conned from the primer. The boy Napoleon had around his schoolroom—as around his cradle—an agitated atmosphere. It was banked with the receding clouds of revolution. Thero was liglitI ning on tho rim, and blood on tho fringes.

The majority of the Corsicans had accepted the French dominations. Some still remembered Genoa with affection and many sighed for independence. Among tho latter were tho Buonapartes. The feeling of regret for the lost cause began to wane about the time that Napoleon was sent to school but there was still in his heart a drop of inherited bitterness

ties, over which tho papal power still extended its scepter in spectral majesty, shows how hardly the future emperor of Clement XIV. had reached the third month of his pontificate. The Hapsburg Joseph II. was in tho fourth year of that imperial rule which had now become a shadow and illusion 011 the disk of time. Great Britain, gaining rapidly by conquest 011 foreign shores, had for ruler George III., then in the thirty-first year of his age.

quest. He looked back angrily at the terrible conditions surrounding him in his childhood. As late as his twentieth year ho broke out in passion. "I was born,'' said he, "while my country was dying. Thirty thousand French, vomited

the French himself i:i youth became a Frenchman. When, from the sixth to the ninth year of his age, tho boy Bonaparte attended school in his native town, three lines radiated befoiv his feet. One of these was dim and clouded, but glorified with patches of extreme light. It was the way into the. kingdom of that New Philosophy which was -...t then revealing itself with such brilliancy in France. A second and well trod way led straightly to the Church, lionie was great and honorable. Her rewards of diligent ambition were rich and certain. The young aspirant who entered the colleges might well expect emolument and reputation. The third 'path led dangerously to the military life. None might at that tinio discern the coming upheaval of society, with its concomitant reign of the sword. But tho agitations of the epoch were su^ieient to encourage war, and to offer a measure of inducement to follow in tho path of military glory.

The taciturn schoolboy of Ajacciohad these three open ways before him. From the first, ho was precluded by the dispositions of his family, intensified in himself. He never had the scholastic trait. His abilities as a pupil, and afterwards as a military cadet, showed nothing of the philosophr. Indeed he conceived—how early in boyhood we knownot— a prejudico against philosophy and tho philosophers as well. As for the Church, he had an inbred admiration for Home but the kind of life tillered in the priesthood was without attractions for bun personally. He was willing that Joseph and other of his lriends should become priests and bishops but not himself. Neither the scholar's gown nor the priest's surplice ottered the sligiitest attraction to his imagination.

The condition of the Buonaparte family about the years .17 iTi-TN was critical. Carlo, the father, had given an interested adhesion to tho French. lie had his hones from the annexation, lie would keep his titles and recover he properties formerly bekingmg to the family. The Buonaparte estates in Corsica had been mostly lost. Some had been confiscated by flie Genoese parly and converted into Jesuit schools. T^e recent revolution had reduced (,'arlo's means almost to naught, lie was hiinsrit of no reputation as an economist. His family had rapid]}- multiplied. Two children died in inlancy between the birth of Napoleon and that of Lucien, in 17 75. Tho family was brought almost to penury,

Among these the most available was (Jcii'Tal JUarhreuf. Tho lalter in 17i(i appealed on behaii: of: his Corsican friends to tho authorities in Paris for the privilege of educating the Buonaparte boys France at, the expense of the roj'al treasury. This thing I might be done—provided the applicants I should be under ten years of age, and bo able to show lour strains of noble blood in their veins! In tho case of the boys Buonaparte, this could not lie proved and affairs in the homestead went from bad to worse.

At this juncture history, rather than man, came to the rescue. Franco was on the verge of bankruptcy. One finance minister alter another was appointed, I and one financial scheme alter another explodt in fiie hands of the inventors. It became neeessaiy to call together, at Versailles,a council of the nobles. Carlo do Buonaparte was chosen a representative from Corsica. In going to perform his duty at the French capital, ho took with him, to be .distributed en route, his two sons, Joseph and Napoleon also, tho boys'half uncle, Joseph Fesch also, a cousin of Letitia, the mother. As for Fesch, he was to be left as a student at Aix. The cuusin had been appointed to an office in the church at Autun and at that place the distracted father determined to drop his two sons at school.s*.

This was in tho.year 1778. The company set out by way of Florence, Genoa, Marseilles, Lyons. The youngest of tho company was a sad-faced, big-eyed boy, in such apparel as could bo furnished in the house of an impecunious nobleman. Tho boy's head was bent forward as ho walked. His foot now for the first time touched the continent. He was in his

tenth year. Ho muttered broken ejaeulijtions to his companions. It was Napoleon Bouapartq on iiis %vay to Autun —and tho world. .loiiN Clauk EIDI'ATH.
