Napoleon the Great.

Maj. Gen. YakoYitch, Of the Russian
army, is one OF the Jew men now living
who saw the great Napoleon on q bat
tie-field. The old general saw the
French emperor at Borodipo. At that
battle Yakovitch, then a mere boy
served with a battery in the grand re-
doubt which was the center of tho
Russian line. He gives vivid de-
scription of the battle. When morn
ing broke sea OF gray mist shut out
the field from view. The voices of the
enemy were heard, the neghing of
their horses, and the rumbling of
artillery wheels. Then came the
thunder of cannon, making the very
earth tremble. Three times all the
Russian gunners were killed, and three
times new men took their places.
Bullets flew thick as hail, and men
dropped dead or mangled every mo-
ment.
At last a strange sound was heard in
the distance like rain pattering on
withered leaves. 1t grew louder and
louder, until it filled the air like the
roar of q stormy sea. All at once a
great wave of bright swords and helm
cts and horses heads came surging up
over the breast works. 1t was the
Imperial guard. Before the shock of
that mighty wave the Russian center
crumoIed away shattered wrecks.
When 1akoyitch came to his senses
and opened his eyes he saw around
him the corpses of his father and COM
rades. Suddenly the tramping of
hoofs called his attention to group of
gayly-dressed officers. and Napoleon's
staff came riding over the field. The
young Russian pcered anxiously into
their faces. In his graphic language:
There were the hard faces of Rapp
and Darn and broad-chested Sebastian,
and Napsouty, with the saber scar
across his cheek, and the low, broad
forehead aud bulldog jaw of grim old
Ney, the bravest of them all. There,
too, WAS Murat, with his white plumes.
and his braided-jacket. his long, dark
curls hanging down his neck. and his
ridingwhip in his hand, just like
circus-rider. And then The group
parted suddenly, and there was the
man himself in the midst of them. with
his face hard and immovable as marble
amid all that blood and agony, and a
far-away look in those cold grav ewes
OF his, rs if he saw Moscow somewhere
up in the sky, but could see nothing
between. "A glorious victoryr cried

that he knew that God had forsaken
Napoleon. Tor no man save one doomed

Decorating Fans.
New York Evening Post.


In anticipation of the coming sutry weather,
many ladies decorating fans for future use,
and the small circular folding fan, which costs
but trife, is being turned into handsome ad-
junct to the toilet by being covered with silk
and lace. Plain white gauze fans are sold at
remarkably low prices considering their former
cost and ladies who arc skilled in the use of tho
brush paint the lace designs in the natural colors
of the flower and leaf patterns. These are. of
course, appropriate only for full-dress occasions.
Less elaborate but more useful are the very
small palm fans, which are decorated in various
ways. A simple method is to arrange a spray of
flowers down one side of the fan or across it, as
taste suggests Others cover the fan with silk, then
edgiEg it with lace. and tiny pocket is added,
which is set on irregularly, there being no fixed
position for this receptacle for the dminutive
mouchoir, which peeps above its restraining elias
tic. The handle of the fan is twisted round
with ribbon, when is secured at the top and then
tied in long looped bow that serves to attach it
to the arm or waist as may be. The aggregate
cost of either of these tasteful accessories is
very inconsiderable, and quite out of proportion
to their elegance when complete. There are
many ladies, especially French, who never feel
quite at ease unless they hold something in their
hands while walking or sitting engaged in con-
versation. The fan seems by its presence and
assistance materially to aid its owner in main

might let slip but for its unconscious help and
