Napoleon's Parents.

The family of Bonaparts were of
pnre Italian race: there was not drop
of French blood in any of them. Their
ancestors had come from tho main land
in tho early history of Corsica, and
their names are found in the remote
annals of Ajaccio. Carlo Bonapart was
poor gentleman of exceleut breed Y
and character, who married in his
youth voung and romautic girl named
Letiz'a Ramolino. who followed him III
his campaigns up to the moment of the
birth OF Napoleon. 1t is impossible to
say how much the history of Europe
owes to the high heart aud iniomitabe
spirit OF the soldierly woman. She
never relinquished her authority in her
family. When all her children were
princes aud potentates. she was still
the severe; stern Madame Mere Ths
beauty aud grace of Josephine Beauhar-
nais never conquered her; the sweet
Tyrolese prettluess of Maria Louisa
won from her only sort of cotempt-
uous indulgence. When her mighty
son ruled the continent, she was the
only human being whose chidings he
| regarded or endured. She Was faithful
in her rebukes while the sun, shone. aud
when calamity came, her uudaanted
spirit was still true and devoted to the
fallen. Her provincial habit of econo-
my stood her Ill good stead III her vig-
orous Old age; she was rich when the
Empire had passed away. aud her
grandchildren needed hey aid. It
must have been from her that Napo-
leon took his extraordinary character.
for Carlo B)naparte, though brave
soldier aud an ardent patriot in his
youth, wes of an easy and genial tenn =
per, inclined to take the world "a he
found it aud not to insist too much on
having it 60 in his especial way.
After the cause of CorSicau liberty was
lost by the success of French arms, he
accepted the situation without regret.
and becoming intimate with the con-
qnerors, he placed as many of his faml-
ly as possible on tas French pension
list. His sons Napoleon aud Louis
were given scholarship at Brienna and
at Autun, and his eldest daughter,
Elise, entered the royal institution at
ST. Cyr. While yet in the prime of
life, he died of the same deadly disease
which was to finish Napoleon's days at
st. Haleua; and the mother, her respon-
sibilities becoming still heavier by this
blow, lived for eight years longer amid
the CO fusion aud civil tumult which
had become chronic in Corsica. and
then after the ctpturc Of the island by
the English in 1913, she made her es>
cape with her children to MIr5eilles
where she lived several years in great
penury. Nupers Mayaztne.

The Rose. .Si.m 10roeis and Thistle

One day, when all the nations met
To choose the enblems OF their glory
Their well-earned fame that none forget
For war, for peace, for song or story
the symbol that old England chose
Was the full blooming, bright, freeh rose
Then Scotland came-her martial voice
Proclaimed in good, brave Scottish
manner,
The strong, sharp thistle was her choice
To represent her on her banner
And since no man could ever ire
To touch that thistle painted there.
Then Ireland came attired in green,
Her golden harp 80 proudly bearing
The shamrock in her hair WAS seen,
Aud in the robe that abe WAS wearing
"Give me the simple plant ssi she,
"The symbol of the Trinity."
Those rations now are j,ined in one,
And one that ia by all re9p?cted-
And long--so long AZ waters run--
My all those nations he connected!
LING with she rose and thistle LAY
The hamroc'l-till the judgment day.

'Tis Christmas night, It's Christmas night,

Aud children filter to and fro,

No child so small that he need stay
A. home, this night Of Christmas day.
Aud glad bells ring, and children sing,
And chant their praises to their King.
Within the church Ills warm a'd light,

Stands watching, through the sleet and

And teara all vain, fall down like rain,
And winds toss back her cry of pain.
Tie Christmas night, 'ts Christmas night,
And all within The church is light;
Aud childreR shout in merry glee,
At sight of loaded Christmas tree.
And still they come and still they go,
Without thought of pain or woe.
Not one child there but has his share

And still against the iron rail
The young girl stands, SO slight an1 frail,
And catches glimp-es through the dopr,

For these were bits of fairy light.

New Ronnets.

The D;rectoire bonnet and other
large forms of chapeaux introduced at
the beginning of the season have grad
nally disappeared from millinery blocks,
and in their place are established small
close bounets for ladies', soft crown tur-
ban shapes and a modified Rnbens hat
in plush or long pile felt, with droop-
.-r, ie-:.-> nf r."nnafnl .cnrvas for girls
Materials and trimming remain mnch
the same. Satin is popular fabric in
millinery; so are velve.s in rich cotors
and fine French felt. Feathers remain
the prevailing garniture of hats or
negliae, carriage and evening wear.
Flowers, when introduced at all, are
generally associated with feathers. and
are of velvet, in warm rich dyes. jet
still glltters on all black bonnets, a
fayorite model being a close boubet OF
satin overlaid with jet embroidery.
Long ostrich feathers, are largely re.
served to wind their graceful length
about the crowns of round hats. Feath-
er tips, both shaded and plain, are
much nsed on bonnets in connection
with bird. or birds head, applied as
finish where the feathers are fastened
on. A graceful model for evening veal
is termed the Fanchon; this is ia reality
bat banieau of satin. lace and feather
with broad satin or lace ties. 1t is q
popular bonnet. for it allows-beine

honnets are for the most part made OF
cream-white or lemon colored satin
with feathers to match, and broad
Spanish lace scarfs arranged as ties
These are, as all women know. mach
more becoming to every face, whether
it be that of blonde or brunette, thar
thu dead and blue whites of severa
seasons ago. Carriage bonuets are
composed OF gendarme blne, wine and
garnet velvet. Iridescant trimmings
and gold cord are still employed or
oolored bonnets, though the latter is
more sparingly used than it was earlier
in the season.

MEANS OF ERAsING GREASE SPOTS.

(1) Dissolve in quart of water, four
ounces of CASTLE soap. Add four ounces OF
ammonia water and an ounce of ether and
glycerine The mixture should be kept from
the air, as the ammonia and ether are very
volatile, and will soon escape if the bottle is
not kept tightly corked. A lady who has
tried it, recommends rubbing the grease spot
with crumbs. (2) Put on powder Of French
chalk, and place piece Of blotting paper over
it then pass hot iron over the blotting paper.
The heat liquefes the grease, the chalk alb
serbs it, and the excess Of grease is absorbed
by the blotting paper. 90 You can get a
bottle or barrel of oil off any carpet or wool.
en- stuff by applying dry buckwheat plenti-
fully and faithfully. Never put any water
to such a grease spot or liquid of any kind.
(4) A grease spot on my trousers was satura-
ted with aqua ammonia Cor hartshorn) and a
smoothing iron was placed on it to prevent
rapid evaporation. After the lapse Of twenty
four hours more ammonia was applied. A
piece of smooth sheet iron was placed within
the leg of the pants, opposite the smoothing
iron, to prevent the liquid from being absorb
ed by the cloth where there was no oil. At
CeT IWo uays uoio nou PosSco inoio s@u1l ~ ~
was applied. After another day the dry oil
was so soft, that soft soap rubbed on the grease
spot and allowed to remain for a few hours
and then washed in warm rain water, remov.
ed every trace of the oil without discoloring
the cloth. Alcohol and spirits of turpentine
will remove tallow and oil from garments, if
applied before the oil has become dry and
hard. We have frequently cleaned greasy
coat collars in neat manner with spirits OF
turpentine. (5) To remove grease spots, put
half teaspoonful of ammonia into half ia
blespoonful of alchohol; wet bit of wooden
cloth or soft sponge in it, and the grease, if
freshly dropped, will disappear If the spot
is of long standing, it may require several
applications. In wooden or cotton, the spot
may be rubbed when the liquid is applied,
and also in black silk, though not hard. But
with light or colored silk, wet the spot with
the cloth or sponge with which the ammonia
is put on, patting it lightly. Rubbing silk,
particularly colored silk, is apt to leave Il
whitish spot almost as disagreeable as the
grease spot.
