ROYAL RELICS.
\ Kemlnlscence of Joseph Bonaparte

\ Rcminlscence of Joseph Bonapa arte's
Residence in America.
The death of the old Scotch gardener
of Joseph Bonapartc at Bordentown
the other day serves to recall the iape-
rial glories of the Bonapartc residence
on the out ,kirts of that little city. The
place now is divided up into smaller
tracts for the purposes OF an age of
progress and business, but hardly
more than twenty years ago it was re-
plete with the memories and peculiari-
ties of its royal founder It was in 1915
that Joseph Bonaparte arrived here, a
fugitive from the allied powers Of Eu-
rope. He came as the Count de Survil-
iiers. and was accompanied by Priuce
Lucien Murat NJ. Maillard, who acted
as his secretary, and one or two other
gentlemen OF his regal staff. He was
then dominated with the idea that there
was no place SD secret as to be safe
for him. He expected at any time
that allied men-of.war might sail up
the Hudson or the Delaware and seize
him. He was essentially timid, and he
declined any but the most modest re-
ceptions rendered him by New York
city. which felt fully the honor of a
roy al presence in her precincts. 1t was
guided By this timidity largely that he
made for himself this home at Borden
town. The tract of land he bought
there contained 1900 acres, aud
he laid it out in parks, RAM
bles, rustic bridges lakes. drives,
gravelled walks, thickly foliaged
arbors, and miniature cascades turning
miniature water wheels. He embel-
lished it also with s,atuary, but the
strangest part of the park consisted in

WOMEN'S PRIVILEGES.

The Ch,nge Time Has Wrought in the
Condition OF the Fair Sex.
There was a time, not a century ago.
when women were considered race
of beings altogether different from
men; when no woman could sharpen a
pencil, tie parcel or sing bass; when
about the only out-of-door gamc-it
was called game in bitter derision
in which young girls, between the
ages Of twelve and forty-two. were
permitted to indulge, was melancholy
performance called ''grace-hoops."
Boys were sometimes compelled to as
sist at this lodge of sorrow, but only in
case of dearth of girls, AMI in the
presence of the old folk, who had
grown tired of playing Copenhagen"
But now, woman can do any thing
she tries, even to singing bass in her
own quartette of girls, so that weak
man is superhuity in the choir. She
has harnessed her grace hoops tandem,
and made bicycle of them: she rows,
she fishes, she shoots, insomuch that
all men, and it may be that some
game, fear her shooting (ioke): she
wcareth her brothers hat, and his out
ing cap; his shirt 'front.' his four-iu-
hand tie. and many things that are her
brothers. She is stronger than her
mother, and can stand a great deal
more rest; she is quite as happy,
and far more independent She
hangs on to the strap in the street
car when her mother had a seat in the
omnibus if every man rode outside in
the rain She gets iostled and pushed
about in the crowd, when some bare
headed man. bowling low, used to N AXE
way for her grandmother. With weary
patience she stands in line at the
ticket-office: woe is she if she presume
on the privilege of sex to step in ahead
of a man; she gets hustled back to her
place. Much she bath gained by free
dom; somewhat, also, hath she lost.
She cannot eat her cake and keep it
still, If she didn't eat it, it would be-
come fearfully stale, or some body else
would get it. And cake is only good
to eat. anyhow. Scarcely would she
exchange her independence for defer
euce and helplesSneSs. Her loss is
more in form than fact Men are more
unself fisftly chivatrous toward her than
ever their fathers We're; but this hurry =
ing age of gatlop and gulp has tram pie d
upon the deliberate grace and studied
elegance of lazier day, when men
bowed lower and did less; when men
abandoned ioafing and went to work,
they quit wearing lace at their wrists
and rapiers at their side: they ceased
to talk in blank verse, and convcrsed
in plain prose; they cut off their long
ripglcts, and the curling tongs were
detaroned by the c1ippers.-Ladies

THE PUZZLED SHARPER.
a Trickstee who Was Beaten at His OWa
Game.

Il TrfckSter Who was beaten 2e HIS OW1
Game.
After awhile the young man with
the white hat and red necktie observed
that friend OF his in Chicago had
posted him on a new trick, and he took
from his pocket the shell of an English
walnut which had been cut in two to
make two small cups. He also took
from his vest pocket q common field
pea. and explained:
II don't say that can do the trick
successfully, but after little more
practice l hope to catch on"
Half a dozen Of us exchanged winks
and spotted him at once for sharper,
but there was middle-aged man from
Indianapolis who appeared innocently
interested. He was not q grecn-look-
ing man by any means-but he had a
con fiding. childish look which would
have authorized any stranger to ask
him for a match or the time Of day.
What is the trick?" he asked, as he
laii aside his paper.
''Why, it's to manipulate this pea in
this way-so and so-and this way, uu-
til you can't tell which cup it's under"
explained the other.
That's q new idea"
Eyes. perfectly new
"Say! I'd like to learn that myself"
continued the Hoosier. THE boys
down our way are full of tricks. and
l d like to get something to astonish
'cm. 1t all depends on the twist of the
wrist doesn't it?''
Partly that, and partly optical illu-
sion. AS told you before can't work
it yet be cause haven't practiced suf-
fciently, but do you think you could
tell which cup the pea is under now?"
Il think could" replied Hoosier
"And could you now"' asked the
young man after further manipula-
tions.
"rm sure of it,
'sHow sure?"
''Well. as want to learn the trick,
and rs am always willing to back my
own eyes, I'll bet $40 I can"
We winked and shook our heads at
him. but his smile only grew more
child-like.
Don't want to make it sao do you?"
asked the sharper.
I'D just as soon say sso.'
Thirty it is just hod the cups

The cup was raised, and there, sure

came into that young man's face was
: something queer t. see, and he kept

a word, but sat for long time like one

The Princesse Tea-Gown.

There is always one more thing to be
asked about or to be spoken of regard
ing the tea-gown. which is now looked
upon as an Indispensable article of
dress-a positive necessity in every
wardrobe. The princesse tea-gown,
daintily elaborated, is still the prevail
ing favorite model, but the newer sort
has yoke of some rich or dainty de-
scription, and is girdled or belted. \
tea-gown of cream surah figured with
crimson flowers has the yoke, sleeves
and belt of crimson brocadc. The col
lar aud cuffs are of dark wine-colored
velvet The gown has Wattea au fold
in the back falling from the neck and
partly concealing the velvet yoke. A
more becoming dress could hardly be
worn by either blonde, brunette. or a
woman of the neutral type.-N. Y.
