MARIE LOUISE.
Napoleon's Bride Finds Her Vienna Room
Reproduced Exactly In the Tuileries.

| NapoIeon's Bride Finds Her Vienna Room
Reproduced Exactly In the Tuileries.
The room was at the end of long
corridor that was narrow and dimly
lighted, but in the room itself there
was blaze of light from many lamps
and candles. Philip had never seen
this roombefore, and looked at it critic
ally. 1t was clearly not a state apart
ment; it was more homelike than hand
some. There were drawings and paint
ings on the walls, the furniture was
not new, and certainly not Paris-made.
Here hung some tapestry-work; there,
birds in cages. On golden perch a
great green parrot was crawling and
shifting, cooking one bright eye down
ct little dog couched on a rug below
him. 1t was this dog. and this parrot
that Philip was to keep quiet.
He waited some time. The cheers of
the crowd in the garden and the sounds
of the great chorus at the open-air con-
cert came mufiied to his ears. The
parrot was uneasy; the dog was rest
less; so too was Philip, and he grum-
bled inwardly at his imprisonment;
but, all the same, he did his duty,
petted the dog, and smoothed poor
Polly" with promises of a make-belicve
cracker. At last he heard steps com
ing along the corridor The parrot
cooked its head to listen; the dog
started up and tried to 'woof," but
Philips hand smothered the incipient
bark.
The door opened and lady entered.
She was young-scarccly more than a
girl-but she was splendidly dressed,
and her face was pretty and pleasant.
She stopped, blinded at first by the
flood of light the dimness of the
corridor. Then she looked about her,
started suddenly, and as the dog with
a bark and struggle, broke away
from Philip, and sprang toward her,
she dropped on her knees, regardless
of her splendid dress, and fondled the
dog with cry of joy.
"Why, it is my roomw she cried,
looking about in bewilderment-''my
room at Vienna! The very same car
pet, the very same chairs, my sister
Clementine's drawings, my mothers
tapestry, my uncle Charles paintings,
my books, my birds-Polly-and you
you dear, dear Fritzkin!' here she
Rugged the little dog again. Then she
sprang to her feet and, saying impul-
sively, ''Oh. sire, how kind you are!'
flung her arms about the neck of the
gentleman who had followed her into
the room-a short, stout, middle-aged
gentleman with splendid court cos
tune and a handsome face that
sparkled with pleasure at the success
of his little plot. twas Napoleon, and
this was his surprise to his girl wife.
He had reproduced in the Tuileries the
room she had tearfully said good-by to
in her fathers palace in Vienna; he had
remembered everything-even to the
dog and the parrot that were her es-
pecial pets -Elbridge S. Crooks, in st.

THE TRADE OUTLOOK.
Increase of Profits and More Hands En-
ployed Than In November, 1893.


ployed Than In November, 1893.
New YORK, Dec. 17.-Dun's Review
of Trade says: Reports from several
thousand manufacturers show an in
crease in total November profits of 1872
per cent. over last year, but.a decrease
of 1873 per cent. in comparison with
1892. A statement of hands employed
shows that in the same establishments
10.2 per cent. more persons were en-
ployed than a year ago, but SO per cent.
less than 1892. The average of earn
ings for over ESQ 900 hands is per cent.
larger than in 1898, but 1875 per cent.
less than 1892, and this statement takes
no account of hours of work in the
months compared, or of the establish
ments not working at all this year. In
some of the industries more hands are
at work than in 1892, but in others the
decrease is large.

SHEEP and cattle ranchers in south

them to exterminate or keep down the
wild animals that are playing havoc
with stock in that region. SO far from

dollars in trying to abate the pest, but
without avail, and now they want the

A PALACE.

Build thee a shining palace, friend, (.
Not of the "cobwebs in the sky"
But of the good and lovely things
That live and glow before thine eye.
Build thee a shining palace, friend,
Not of the gloom that wraps thee round,
But of the love, so pure and sweet,
That in true, loving hearts Is found.
Build thee shining palace, friend,
Not of the dark clouds, rolling by,
But of the clear, untading blue
Through which free spirits daily ny,
Build thee shining palace, friend,
Not of the pain and fear that mar
The joys, but of the hope that comes
From the glad heaven where angels are
Build thee shining palace, friend,
But build it not of wasting clay,
Build thee palace, firm and strong,
OF what will never know decay.
Build thee shining palace, friend,
OF justice, mercy, faith and truth,
And know the palace will endure
When age is lost in endless youth.
Bald thee palace, o, my friend,
But build il not on shifting sands
Oh, let its walls rise within
