Tor q hundred years and was now about
to be broaght TO light ID America. ~
appears from the researches made by
the French Napoleonic scholar, Frederic
Mason, who vouches for the fact over
his own signature, that Napoleon, when
q young lieutenant, wrote q CorRican
story. The manuscript OF this he eonid-
ed to his uncle, Cardinal Fesch, then
Archbishop OF Lyons. When Cardinal
Fesch died In 1889. his papers were en-
trusted to his Grant Vicar, Able Lyon
net. Napoleon's manuscript was sold by
the able to Libri, a member of the Acad-
envy and inspector OF Frence libraries.
Libri sold this and some other manu-
scripts to Lord Ashburnham for $4,000,
and from 1912 to a recent date Napol-
cons manuscripts slumbered in Ash
burnham Castle. To the Paris editor OF
the Cosmopolitan, belongs the honor OF
securing for an American periodical the
interesting manuscript from the pen OF
the worlds greatest personality.

1t is no easy matter to make a we'd
ding dress for lady with a 32-inch
waist. A few dressmakers, however,
manage to do it.
The dress l am now going to put be-
fore your minds eye was gray brocade,
with a pattern running in stripes-you
are well aware that stripes give height
to the figure-and was made with a red
ingote of bengaline falling in straight
lines to the edge of the dress and fasten-
ing in front with cut steel buttons. There
was not wrinkle anywhere, and the
only trimming on the front of the dress
was ruche of silk.
The bodice was softened with a jabot
of gauZe at the neck. think the lady
showed good sense in choosing to be
married in dress of this kind. Another
gown was black satin, trimmed at WIDE
intervals in front with narrow stripes of
jet 1t had two bodices. The one for
evening wear was cut square in front
and V at the back and was outlined with
jet. It had lace vest and loose, open
sleeves, falling in point just over the
elbow frilled with lace. The day bodice
had no trimming, and was fastened down
the front and at the wrists with small
jet buttons. Pail Mall Budget.

A floating semiscientifc paragraph
tells of the discovery that nearsighted-
ness prevails to a larger extent among
blends than among brunettes. The
discoverer refers to the number of spec
tacles worn in Germany as a proof of
the correctness of his statement. His
deduction, however, is wrong. In Ger
man schools the fact is well known that
of the wearers of glasses the number of
Jewish children, who are almost invari-
ably brunettes, is much larger than that
of blond German pupils. The same con-
dition is observed here. Blindness reach
es the highest point in civilized lands
(2l6 persons to 100000 of population)
among the Spaniards, who are, proven
bially and conspicuously. brunettes,
while it is much smaller in Sweden (91
per 100,0 900, or less than half, the land
of stalwart and rosy checked blends
The United States, by the way, has the
lowest ratio of blind population in the
world. Egypt has the highest. New

The winter home ef Joseph jefferson
is on Orange island New iberia, La.
The house is one of the old manors, re-
modelled and refurnished by the actor.
Its Conservatives abound in tropical
fruits and flowers. Artificial ponds
TEEN with trout and black bass. Lake
Simonette, near by. affords the finest
fishing. while one has to step but few
yards from Jefferson's tireside to find
wild fowl in abundance. Luxuriant
groves, containing thousands of trees Of
the mandarin and Brazilian varieties,
surround the house. Fully one hundred
pecan and the same number of orange
trees yield succulent corps yearly. In
the pastures are the finest specimens Of
Holsteins, while in the stables are =
number of the ieetest roadsters in the
south. The apartment of which Mr.
Jefferson is proudest is the Japanese
room. 1t is of marvellous beauty, and
visitors come from miles about to gaze
on the gorgeous furnishings. Charles

An Evil Women Can Correct.

There is serious invasion of every
body's comfort at the theaters here. It is
the indefensible habit of grabbing hats,
shoes and wraps as performance nears
the end, and the moment, or frequently
before the moment, when the bell for
the final curtain sounds, to rush for the
door. Unfortunately this bad habit is
not peculiar to indianapolis, as any one
will testify who goes to the theater in
any other city. In churches also in this
