A Paris grocer sells small bits Of
macaroni for soup, stamped with the
image of Napoleon III. When the
macaroni swells, the features enlarge
until the nose, mustache, and profile
of the late Emperor stand out in start
ling relief. The last place in the
world where the ghost of Napoleon
would be expected to appear is from
tho depths Of macaroni soup, and the
profound judges are in doubt what to
do. If they let it alone it becomes
incipitcnt treason, for with Napoleon
in their stomachs half the road to
their affections will have been tlRv.
orsed; and, on the other hand, they
hesitate in making the cause popular
and themselves ridiculous by q maca~
roni war. "
