Secret of NapoIeon's Success.

Europe had grown accustomed to mil itary surprises in the few preceding years. Tho armies of the French republic, fired by devotion to their principles and their na- tion, had accomplished marvels. But noth- ing in the least foreshadowing this had been wrought even by them. Then, as now, curiosity was unframed, and the most careful study was expended in analysing the process by which such miracles had been performed. The investigators and their readers were so overpowered by the spectacle and it's results that they were prevented by sOrt of awestricken incredul- ity from recognizing the truth, and even yet the notion of supernatural influence fight ing on Bonapartes side has not entirely disappeared. But tho facts as we know them reveal cleverness dealing with inca pacity, energy such as had not yet boen seen fighting with languor, an embodied principle of great vitality warning with lifeless, vanishing system. The conse- quences were starting, but logical. The details sound like aromance from the land of ICblis.-Professor Sloane's "Life of Ma poleon" in Century.

Fitting the Foot.

A veteran shoemaker contradicts the theory and practice of many of his craft who insist that the way to cure dstort- cd foot is to follow its abnormal joints and swellings in tho last for the shoe. On tho contrary, the shoe should be made as nearly the normal shape of the foot as pos siblc, with the concession of a slight en- largoment where tho distortions are found. In this way the foot, unless the trouble is of very long existence, gradually will be restored to its proper and natural shape. New York Times.
