them are Rachel and Sasselone, the two
daughters of the late E. P. Bergami, who
until the time of his death conducted an
italian bank in New York. On his death
1t was found thst his affairs were badly
involved and that the poor depositors were
likely to be heavy losers. His daughters
at once surrendered all their private prop
erty, including property in Italy that the
law could not touch, and they sought and
found employment, setting apart all the
surplus of their earnings to help pay their
fathers debts.
Stag, or the waste that makes the neigh
borhood of iron furnaces so unsightly, con-
tains valuable fertilizing qualities, 1t has
been discovered. The material seems to be
especially rich in phosphates, especially
that alag which is formed from the ores
used in making iron and steel by the basic
process, in which lime Ia extensively en-
ployed. This ore contains a large percent
age of phosphoric acid, which, after the
action of the lime, forms q phosphate of
great strength, and when ground to a
powder is rich fertilizer without further
treatment. 1t Is especially valuable In that
1t contains no weed germs, and because its
steel particles have deadly effect on the
cut worm and the ground mole. A steam
er calling recently from Philadelphia took
out cargo of . 200 tons of the alag phos-
phate to Dantzic, Germany, which country
is heavy buyer of 1t. Orders for $4,000
tons are now on hand at the Pottsto1n iron
works, where the piles of slsg are being re-
duced to powder.
The great Napoleon had great many
superstitions, and one of them was that
the letter NJ had good deal to do with
his fortunes. A Frenchman hiss been
studying this important matter, and he
makes up the following strange LIST of Ne:
Six Msrshals-Msssena,M Mortier, Marmont,
Macdonald, Murst, and Moncey-without
counting twenty six division generals.
MoTeau betrayed him. Marssilles was the
place where he encountered the greatest
difficulties at the commencement of his
career. Msrboeuf was the fret to suspect
his genius and to shove him ahead. His
most brilliant battles were Montenotte,
Msntus, Millesimo, Mondovi, Msrengo,
Malta, Mont Thsbor, Montmirvil, Nor
mans, Monteresu, Merry, Montmarte las
saulD, Mont Saint Jean, the last at Water
loo. At the siege of TouIon his first point
of attack was Fort Malbouequet. Then he
singled cut Muiron, who covered him with
his body on the bridge of Arcole. Milan
was the capital of his new kingdom. Mos
COW was the last town that he took. Menon
made him lose Egypt. Miollis was
selected to capture Plus VII. Mslet
conspired sgsinst him. Metternich beat
him diplomatically. Maret was his
secretary and his confdsnt. Montaiivet
was his Minister and Montesquin his frat
Chamberlain. In March, 1896, he married
Josephine, and in March, 1910, he married
Msrie-Louise. In March, 1911, the King
of Rome was born. Mslmaison, a we'll
named unlucky house, was his last resi-
dence in France. He surrendered 20 Cap
tain Maitland. At Saint Helena, Mon
tholom was his companion in captivity and
Msrchand his valet de chambre. He died
In May, 1921. The letter NJ also comes to
the front in the career of Napoleon Ill. He
married the Countess Montijo. Morny 10
not forgotten. In the war of the Crimes
we find Malskof and Msmelon. In
the italian campaign we iud Montebsllo,
Marignon, Magenta, Milan, Mazzini. Tow
ard the close of his career Mexico appears
with Msximilsn. Meis and MIrsmon. In
the German war he pinned his faith upon
the Misrailleuse, and the names Of Mcltke
and Metz are conspicuous enough in the
