The NanoIaons as Novelists.

Some curious revelations have recently
been made as to the moral and mental char
acteristics of the BonapaFtes; but none of
these more or less authentic disclosures of
hidden motives and masked habits strikes
the world with such surprise as the discov-
cry that Napoleon /. and Napoleon III.
tried their hands at novel-writing. The
outline of lie petit captrals romance was
found not along ago among bundle OF
papers confided to his uncle, Cardinal
Fesch, before sailing for st. Helena. If its
existence was known to the family, the rea-
sons Tor it's suppression will be readily I'M
derstood, when we say that it is conceived
in the bitterest spirit of Corsican hatred
againt France and Frenchmen. 1t was
roughed out just on the eve of the defence
of Toulon, where the young lieutenant of
artillery laid the foundation of his fortune.
The style is said to bear some analogy to that
of Jules Verne.
The nephew's literary project was more
ambitious. He conceived the idea of boil
STEERING up the imperial regime by the aid OF
fiction. So far as can be judged from the
scenario draughted by Badinget's own hand,
the result would have been work of por-
tentous dullness. NJ. Benoit, a worthy gro
Ger of Paris, is supposed to expatriate him
self in 1S47, when Louis Philippe was the
idol of the bourgeoisie. AS he roams
through the forests and over the prairies of
the New World, only vague echoes OF what
is going on in France reach his ears. In 1868
he returns, expecting to find his country
grooming under despotism and utterly de-
| moralized and impoverished. Bit by bit his
| melancholy anticipations are dissipated.
The marvellous reforms in every depart
| ment of political and social life are one af-
ter another brought before his astonished
gaze, and at last he is compelled, like Ba-
laam. to take up his parable and bless what
| he had started with the intention of ours
| ing. Perhaps the funniest feature OF the
| whole programme is the detailed enumera-
| ton If each item which was to be glorlted
| by the romancers art. The bald list reads
| like manifesto of the London County
| Council.
But even more extraordinary IMAM thls
| emanation from the brain OF man whose
| own life surpassed in fantastic interest the
| widest product of imagination is the I'M
| doubted fact that Napoleon Ill. seriously
| contemplated dramatic authorship. lie

IS IT The LIVER?
Cam Liver Pills Cure the Evils
of Indigestion.

For hundred years doctors have disa-
greed about the liver. Only yesterday, fig
uratively speaking, they woke up to its real
uses in the digestion and absorption of food
Billousness is not indigestion. Liver pills
stimulate the secretion, but 10 not stimulate
the storage powers of the liver OF aid diges-
ton. If you cannot digest starch food your
liver cannot store up reserve You are al
ways hungry but food does you no good.
1t is not the liver. Pills won't help you. 1t
is partly the stomach, but medicine won't
help it. What you need is Paskola, food
that is already digested. Paskola is made
of grains and fruit, artificially transformed
into the actual products of digestion. When
swallowed. it is at once absorbed without
further digestion, and part of it is stored up
in the liver. There is no waste about Pas
cola. 1t is a highly concentrated food, but,
unlike most concentrated foods, which arc
usually indigestib1e, it causes the stomach
to work, because it is already digested
Paskola helps the stomach to digest other
food. 1t is the food for all people who suff-
er from indigestion.
Mr.. Charles E. Isaacs, 413 Main ST., Wor-
cester, Mass, says: 81 have tried many doc.
tors and patent medicines-all were of nc

Ills SUCCESSOR,

There used to be a smart young man who
bossed his old papa,
And who at times forgot to heed the wishes of
his ma,
And all his doings were SO real impulsivelike
and bold
That folks all shook their heads and said he
couldn't be controlled.
Wherever he might go he seemed tocut a lord
ly sway,
And all the people bowed to him and granted
him his way.
Of everything he always claimed the choicest
and the best.
He seemed to think he had right to lord it
DER the rest.
He married. but his wife, alas! as wives too
often are,
Was sometimes sadly bossed around by this
domestic czar,
And neighbors talked about the pair, as neigh
bors sometimes do,
And said they'd like to see this man brought
down peg or two.
Fate moves in a mysterious way it's wonders to
perform
This man who couldn't be controlled, this
roaring thunderstorm,
Is whipped and limp and weary as he goes his
nightly rounds.
He's now the father of a boy that weighs about
ten pounds.

A Man of Repartee.

The quickest repartee for which the late
S. Teackle Wallis of Baltimore was dis
tinguished was capable of taking caustic
turn and was, when occasion called for
it, used with telling effect. The name of a
certain DR.. Smith, a man of high social
standing, who had become impoverished,
having been mentioned for some office, a
purse proud parvenu rose to his feet, say
ing, with unmistakable significance:
And who, pray, is this DIR. Smith who
is being brought forward for this posi-
tion?"
DIR. Smith, Mr.. Robinson" replied
Mr.. Wallis, also rising, els well known to
the gentlemen of Baltimore. Perhaps you,
Sir, have not been in the way of making
his acquaintance.
On another occasion, when Mr.. Wallis
was showing a visitor through the city,
the stranger paused before certain Pres
byterian church-a bare looking editice, al
together devoid of architectural adorn-
ment, which has since been destroyed by
fire-saying:
'And what building is this?"
This, " replied his companion, lis -
Presbyterian church"
G Presbyterian church," repeated
the visitor in some surprise. ''Why, 1
thought it was a courthouse.
''Ah," said Mr. Wallis, laughing, iwell
I believe it does smack more of election
than of grace Philadelphia Times.
