A PRINTERS BLUNDER

Nopoleon Ii. is one of the faint
est figures IN French history. In
point of fact he never reigned, and
was never recognized by that title
save once-by the executive COM
mlttee of the Chambers before the
accession of Louis XVIII. He was
known as the King of Rome, and
latterly as the Duke of Reichstads.
His life, after the six years of royal
babyhood III the Tullleries, was
spent in Austria with his mothers
family.
In 1882. at the age of twenty-one,
he died at Schonbrunn, many said
of poison. A weak and effeminate
creature, it was absurd to give him
place among the reigning monarchs
OF France. When the Second Eau
pire was established, many wonder
ed at the title assumed by the EN-
peror, Napoleon I'LL" It was ex-
planned then that he desired to be
considered sovereign by legitimate
heredity, and had thus recognized
the claim of his cousin, as that of
the poor prince in the Temple was
recognized by the Bourbons after
the restoration.
But it appears now, upon the
authority of the historian Kinglak.,
that the intention of Louis Napo-
leon was to call himself simply
Napoleon and that a printers
blunder was responsible for the
change. Just before the pyp d'etat,
a minister of the Home Office, busy
provincial sentiment,
wrote: Que le mot d'ordre soh Viue
NapoleonY The printer mistook
the exclamation points for ILL.,"
and SO the proclamation went out,
was copied by che press, and incor-
porated in public speeches. It was
no time for explanations, and so the
nephew of his uncle adopted the
title.-PriRters' Circular.

very much higher than il ought to be. The
death rate Of London in 1877 was 2l.79
While the mortality from zymotc dis
eases those against which sanitary pre-
cautions are most scryiccablc-was less
than in 1877, that from tho diseases casscd

was greater in about the same proportion.
The zymotic, or forment, diseases are such
as diphthcria, scarlet fever, typhoid fever,
