John Quincy Adams was noted for
his self reliance and for his ~tenacity
of purpOse-his enemies even said he
was self willed and obstinate. The
old gentleman was very fond of chess,
but had n strong Discrimination to be-
ing beaten. Report said that when he
discovered the danger of a checkmate,
he would often be SO long in consider
ing his next move as to tire out his
adversary, and the game would end in
a draw"
a similar mastery inactivity" is
often shown by selfish people who
hope by doing nothing when SON =
thing should be done to gain an
advantage. An anecdote, told in
''Glimpscs of Life in Westborough,'
illustrates this trait of human selfish
ness.
Isaac Davis, a deacon and one of the
representative men of the town, mar
ried for his second wife u widow, who
lived in New Hampshire. She had
bought Il barrel churn with one of her
neighbors, each of whom paid half of
the cost. After her marriage Mr..
Davis rode over to this neighbours to
arrange about the churn.
He proposed two plans-that she
should sell him her share in the churn,
or buy his wife's, but she would not
agree to either of them. At last, when
Mr.. Davis saw that the woman was
determined TO retain, if possible, not
only her own, but Mrs. Davis share
of the churn, he went out to the
wagon and came back with a saw.
II anticipated there might be trou-

for it,
Then he quietly sawed the churn in

A RARE PICTURE OF NAPOLEON.
Taken Nineteen Years After the Generals
Denth. When His BODY Wa EIhumed.

Taken Nineteen Years After the Generals
Death, When His Body Was EIhumed.
w. H. Green, of this city, has in his
possession an exceedingly rare and
curious portrait of Bonaparte, which
was made after his body had been Ia
ken from the grave at st. Helena in
1910, after it had been buried for nine
teen years. This is a remarkable pic
ture, showing how perfectly the fea-
lures We're preserved Sc many years
after death, and giving a striking view
of the strong lines of his face.
The history of the picture is also re-
markable. The portrait was made by
an eminent French artist by order of
Louis Philippe directly after the body
had been eXhumed at st. Helena. The
original was a medallion about four
inches in diameter, set in pearls.
When Louise Philippe lost his throne
and was obliged to leave France, one
of his officers, who departed at the
same time, took the medallion of BO-
uaparte and carried it away with other
articles of value. The officer, whose
name has been lost, came to Bath with
Capt. William Drummond. The Off
Ger remained in Bath for owe a year,
and then went back to France, leaving
the medallion i'll Capt. Drummond's
care. Some years afterward Capt.
Drummond received n letter from the
officer asking that the picture be sent
over to Paris to him. DIR. Isaac llsley
Cummings, of this city, was commits
stoned by Capt. Drummond to convey
the medallion to Paris.
When DIR. Cummings arrived there
the city was again in confusion and he
could not find the owner. He there
fore retained the picture and brought
it back to Portland. He returned it
to Capt. Drummond, first having a
daguerreotype copy of it made by the
| captains permission. The original is
now supposed to be in the possession
of Capt. Drummond's daughter, who
is an inmate Of some religious institu-
ton in France, near Paris. The copy
was kept by DIR. Cummings for thirty
five years or more, and vas then given
by him to William H. Green, of
Princes express, in this city, who still
retains possession of it.
The duguerreotype is as perfect as the
day 1t was taken, and shows not a !
of fading. The original may not be in
existence, or it may possibly have been
returned to the French government by
Capt. Drummond daughter. This
does not appear likely, however. for if
1t had been some Il would have seen
it before this and reproduced it among
the other portraits Of Napoleon which
are eXtant.
The picture has been shown to a
number OF Frenchmen; among others,

The steamer on which Capt. Sarah

one of the Newfoundland coast fogs
some years ago, behind another steam

first steamer passed through the earth
clouds, it tunheled as clearly and as
clearly as u gang of men would tuu

the commander of the second boat
steered his steamer into the tunnel of
mist, and could plainly see the steamer
ahead, while everything on the sides
was obscured. After being in the
clouds for some hours, it closed in on

but she does not make anything of her

as regards dress. Nobody copies her.
1t is sad to say 1t, but it is your coun-
try who carry off the palm for
handsome dressing. They have the
money and the taste, but they have not
the proper means of displaying their
beautiful gowns here, for Nine. Carnot,
from some uneXplainable reason, does
not welcome American ladies'. Perhaps
they are too pretty and too bright.
On some of the old and noble families,
therefore, falls the pleasant duty of re-

ladies. noticed day before yesterday a

The gown was of drab poult de sole
with six rows of brown velvet ribbon

only by braid and buttons. With thi.

Now that lamps are S freely used.
there seems to be an equal demand for
mats which serve the double purpose of

upon which they rest. When to be used
upon n dining table which is lighted by

mat is made of material that does not
conflict with the whiteness of the napery.
If for a parlor or sitting room table, or

The mat illustrated is made of green

busiest time, that she wa not even Of
fered a chair A woman should not ask
too much. A courteous civility even I'M
der the greatest pressure of work she
will always get, and more ought not to

"What do you know of the recently
organized Woman's Press club?" Mrs.
Sangster was asked, it having been noted
that she vas down as a member.
Nothing" she replied, Except that
it is a mistake that 1 belong to it. Per-
s%onallr, 1 am not addicted to clubs;
large ones, especially. do not attract me,
and this is in no spirit of criticism. l
am O member of only n club, a very
small one, which exists more as a circle
of congenial companions than as an or
ganization.
Something of the future of woman's
pursuit of a journalistic calling?' con-
tinued Mrs. Sangster; 81 am disinclined
to think that she will ever supersede
men i'm any very perceptible degree.
Women have published as well as edited
newspapers and periodicals, but in such
exceptional and rarely recurring in
stances as to rather point the assertion
that women cannot compete with men
in this particular than to serve as a
precedent. Her executive ability is suf-
ficient-I think the average woman has
more of that than the average man-but
she has not the inherent business in
stincts and natural business habits that
generations of systematic workers have
developed in her brother laborer.
ITO succeed in the journalism for
which she is best fitted by nature a
woman needs a broad education. She
must know literature as well as life.
Some skill in the grand old tongues
which men call dead is very helpful
thing, and a living language or two be-
sides her own will not come amiss.
1.-The oma journalist must be sys-
tematic, though she cannot be the slave of
system. She must grasp details, make
quick decisions, and learn nov to say no,
in every possible infection. She must
be quiet hammered and self controlled,
not losing her temper when things go
wrong. Considerate of others, she will
receive consideration from her asso-
%ciates, and will exact no defer
nee which she is not willing to
give. She will put heart and conscience
in her work and be thorough, leaving no
loose ends She will welcome criticism,
but hold to her own judgment if this be
needful.
"She will feel. if she be a born journal
island journalists, like poets, are born,
not made-the pulse of her public opin-
ion. She will seize by intuition the topics
which are vital, but all the while through
the tumult and turmoil of the hour she
will hear the far off booming of the bells
of eternity and realize that her work is
not for today nor to morrow only, but
forever.
In brief, the qualities which inhere in
good housekeeping come to the front in
good editing, and the journalist will look
on her paper as the careful matron at her
home-her kingdom to administer, her
province to rule, her sphere to I'LL"

In her coy nook in the very heart of

postmistress Of Young People, and now,
