suit About an Emperor's Hat.

Lately in France one of the civil tribu-
nails had to try a case which involved the
ownership of relic of some Importance,
the little three-cornered hat that the En-
peror Napoleon wore during the great Rus
sian campaign. After his final abdication,
it fell into the possession of his valet de
chambre, named Evrard, since dead. Ev-
rard's widow claimed the right OF retaining
the hat; the other branches OF the family
insisted that it should be sold with the 9TH
er property of the deceased valet, and that
the proceeds should 60 into common fund
for division. After hearing counsel on both
sides, the court decided that the hat should
not be sold with the other property OF the
deceased, but be put up for sale among the
members of the family themselves, remain
ing in the meantime in the widows posses
sion.
The imaginative mind attaches many
grand, many disastrous, many thrilling re-
niniscences, to that little, plain three-cor-
nered hat. The whole of that wonderful
pageant, the invasion of Russia by, the gran
de armee, from its magnificent, triumphal
march at the beginning,to its bloody, death
stricken retreat at the close, sweeps before
the mental vision at the bare mention of
this simple article of daily use. But it pres.
sed the brows of Napoleon That lends it
all the magic that the Emperor's crown
could possess. Yet the law orders it to be
put up at auction, and sold to the highest
bidder in small circle of the relatives Of
a French valet de chambre True, the law
is not given to sentiment or romance.-.N

GetllSeupanC.

Lieut.. Lynch, of the American Explo-
ring Expedition, to the River Jordan and
the Red Sea, in 1913, visited the garden of
Gethsemane, about the middle of May. He
says:
1.-THE clover upon the ground was in
bloom, and altogether the garden, IN its
aspects and associations, was better calcu-
lated than any place know to sooth trou-
bled spirit. Eight venerable trees, isolat-
ed from the smaller and less imposing ones
which skirt the pass Of the Mount of Olives
form consecrated grove. High above, on
either hand towers very lofty mountain,
with the deep, yawning chasm of Jehosa-
phat between them. Growing one of them
is Jerusalem, a living city on the slope
of the other is the great Jewish cemetery,
city of the dead.
Each tree liz this grove, cankered and
gnarled and furrowed by age, yet beauti-
full and impressive in its decay, is a living
monument of the affecting scenes that have
taken place beneath and around it. The
olive perpetuates itself, and from the root
of the dying parent stem, the young tree
springs into existence. These are account
ed one thousand years old Under those
of the pre- ceding growth, therefore, the Sa-
vior was wont to rest and one of the
present may mark the very spot where
he knelt and prayed and wept. No cavil-
ING doubt can find entrance here. The
geographical boundaries are too distinct
and clear for an instant's hesitation. Here
the Christian, forgetful of the present and
absorbed in the past, can resign himself to
sad, yet soothing meditation. The few pur-
pie and crimson flowers, growing about the
roots of the tree, will give ample food for
contemplation-fo they tell of the suffer-
ing and the ensanguined death of the Re-
deemern
