NAPOLEON AND ROUSSEAU.
The Theories Of the Latter Had Great
Charms For the Former.

Charms For the Former.
In ono sense it is truo that the first en-.
perOr of the French was a man of no age
and Of no country. In another sense he
was, as few have been, the child of his
surroundings and Of his time. The study
of politics was his own notion. The mat
ter and method of the study were condi-
toned by his relations to the thought of
Europe in the last century. He evidently
hoped that his military and political
studies would one day meet in the culmi-
nation of a grand career. Those years of
his life which appear like a realization of
the plan were, in fact, the least success
full. The unsOundnGss of his political in
structors and the temper of the age COM
bined to thwart this ambitious purpose.
Rousseau had every fascination for the
young of that timC-a captivating style,
convincing logic, the sentiment of q poet,
the intensity of prophet. A young Cor.
sican would be doubly drawn to him by
his interest in that romantic island. Sit
ting at the feet of such a Gamalicl, the
young scholar would learn through con-
VinCing argument the evils of a passing
social state as they were not taught else
where He would discern the dangers of
ecclesiastical authority, of fcudal privilege,
of absolute monarchy. He would see their
disastrous influence in the prostitution
not only of social but of personal moral
ity. He would become familiar with the
necessity for renewing institutions as the
only means of rcgcnerating society. All
these lessons would have a value not to be
exaggerated. On the other hand, when it

ing for negative criticism, he would learn
nothing of value and much that was most
dangerous. In utter disregard of a sound
historical method there was set up as the
cornerstone of tho new political structure
a fiction of the most dangerous kind.
Bonaparte, in his notes. written as he
read, shows his contempt for it in an ad-
mirable Tefutation of the fundamental err
ror of Rousseau as to the state Of nature
by this remark: Il believe man in the
state of nature had the same power of
sensation and reason which he now has. "
But if he did not accept the premises there
was portion of the conclusion which he
took with avidity, the most dangerous
point in all Rousseau's system-namely
the doctrine that all power proceeds from
the people not because of their nature and
their historical organization into families
and communities, but because of an agree
ment by individuals to secure public or
der, and that consequently, the consent
given, they can withdraw; the order they
have created they can destroy. In this lay
not merely the germ but the whole sys
TEN of extreme radicalism, the essence
the substance and the sum of the French
revolution on its extreme and doctrinairc
side.-Professor William NJ. Sloane's "Lifo
of Napoleon" in Century.

Terrible Bees,

Not far from .Jabalpur, in the highlands
Of central India, the Nerbudda river boils
aloEg deep and sullen, for two miles be-
tween sheer walls of pure white marble
100 feet in height. Here and there tho
white limestone is scanned by veins of
dark green volcanic rock, a contrast which
enhances the purity of the surrounding
marble. AS the visitor to these marble
rocks is poled up the gorge in fiat bot
toned punt he gives himself to the admi-
ration of the marvellous scene of beauty.
But there is "a fly in the amber" Nj
merous colonies of bees, whose combs are
attached to jutting lodges Of the rocks, are
easily disturbed and then come down in
angry swarms on the offender An Eng
lish engineer, Mr. Boddington, was in a
boat with a companion sounding the river
for projected crossing of railroad. Sew
eral of the party were on the plateau above
shooting at r. Lluerock pigeons that
build in the cliffs.
The shooting irritated the bees, and they
attacked the two men in the boat below
and forced them to seek protection by tax
ing to the water. The companion eluded
the singing insects by diving under wa
ter, remaining there for long time, and

Parents and Children.

About the worst thing parents can do is
to discuss the failings of children before
them. The next worst thing is for one
parent to attempt to punish the child and
the other parent protest against it. Either
action will dar.swge the respect Of the child
for one or tho other of its parents, and il
there is one thing more than another that
parents want to preserve it is their dignity
before their children. A child who gets
the idea that one parent is at variance
with the other on the question of disci-
pline will make both unhappy and render
itself decidedly Objectionable by playing

LongreI1ow,s Great Addiction.

Suddenly an awful calamity befell him
in the death of his wife by accident. One
sad day in July, 1861, Mrs. Longfellow's
light dress caught fire from match fallen
on the floor. The poet rushed to her aid,
but despite all his efforts her injuries were
fatal. She died the next morning. Long
fellow himself was so severely burned that
he was unable to represent at her funeral.
When his wounds healed, he was still
broken in spirit. To give himself occupa-
ton and to help him bear his sorrow he
translated into English the "Divine Com
edy'' of Dante. He found the labor restful
and consoling, and in time he completed
his translation, which was published in
l867,-Professor Brander Matthews in St.
Nichnlns

Talmape on HcreditY.

Now, the longer live the more I be-
lieve in blood-good blood, bad blood,
proud blood, humble blood, honest blood,
thieving blood, heroic blood, cowardly
blood, writes the Rev. T. De Witt Tai
mage in The Ladies' Home Journal. The
tendency may skip generation or two,
but it is sure to come out, as in a little
child you sometimes see IA similarity to a
great-grandfather whose picture hangs ON
the wall That the physical and mental
and moral qualities are Unbeatable is pat
ent to any one who keeps his eyes open.
The similarity is so striking sometimes as
to be amusing. Great families, regal or
literary, are apt to have the characteristics
all down through the generations, and
what is moro pcrcoptible in such families
may be seen on "a smaller scale in all fam
lilies. A thousand years have no power to
obliterate the difference. The large lip of
the house of Austria is seen in all the de-
scendants and is called the Hapsburg lip.
The house of Stuart always means in all
generations cruelty and bigotry and SEN
suality. Witness queen of Scots. Witness
Charles l and Charles II. Witness James
l and James II and all the Others of that
imperial line.
Scotch blood means persistence. Dutch
blood means cleanliness and good breed
ing. English blood means reverence for
the ancient. Welsh blood means religios-
ity. Danish blood means fondness for the
sea. Indian blood means roaming DISPOSE
ton. Celtic blood means fervidity. Roman
blood means conquest. The Jewish faculty
for accumulation you may trace clear back
to Abraham, of whom the Bible SAYS, He
was rich in silver and gold and cattle,
and to Isaac and Jacob, who had the same
family characteristics.

An abscntmindcd person can spread

from an inland city met in London dis
tinguished British author, whom he in
vited to visit him during tour of Amer

his English friend and his own invitation,
but was reminded of both, in good time,
by Il letter announcing the date of the ccle

got in few minutes, and when the APP
pointed day came it found him living in
shut up house, getting his meals where he
could, while his wife made an extended
round of visits among her relatives.
When the distinguished visitor drove up
to the house on the evening of the day set
in his letter, he met a single servant, who
explained that the master was at club
meeting, over two miles away, and would
be back about midnight Sending his
wife, who was tired and i'll, back to tho
railway station, the Englishman started
in pursuit Of his delinquent host. The
latter was found with company of pleas
ant people, to whom the great author was
promptly introduced, and the two absent
minded friends finished up the evening at
the club meeting, forgetting all about
their lack of suitable quarters for the night
and poor Mrs. Distinguished Author sit

When the meeting broke up in the small
hours, they recalled these awkward cir
cumstances and rescued the weary woman,
whose comments upon the situation did
