he Was the Ablest and Most Courageous
ct the Emperor's Brothers.


The Y, anger brother had, after the
first Juvenile heats Of radicalism, be-
come moderate republican, holding
his convictions resolutely. Having Op-
posed the hereditary consulate for Ma
poleon, he withdrew, unmindful of any
reward he might have claimed for his
services Of Brumaire, to lead life Of
study and cultivate his Unborn literary
tastes. On the death Of his first wife,
by whom he had two daughters, he mar
ried in direct opposition to Napoleon's
wishes, the beautiful and accomplished
Nine de Jauberthon. This was in 1903.
He had been importuned to put her
away and lend himself to the project Of
buttressing the empire by himself ac-
cepting a crown and contracting royal
marriage He was by far the ablest and
most courageous of the Bonaparte broth
ers, but his heart was true, his princi-
pies were fixed, and he was utterly in
different to the rise of Napoleonic en-
pire.
1t was with reluctance that he came
to Mantua. There are two accounts of
what happened there-that which has
long been accepted Of Napoleon offering
and Lucien hotly refusing the crown of
Portugal, with the hand Of Prince Fer
dinand for his daughter Charlotte, and
that which makes the first offer to have
been Etruria. Both accounts agree, how
ever, that the bid was raised to the
promise of Italy-all on condition that
he should divorce his wife and rule in
the interest of his brothers imperial
power. Lucien disdained even this
bride, declaring that he would accept
the crown, but that he would rule in
the interests Of his subjects, and that he
would in no case consider divorce.
Angry words were spoken. Napoleon
crushed in his hand watch with which
he had been toying, kissing out that
thus he would crush wills which opposed
his. II defy you to commit a crime, "
retorted Lucien.
Before parting there was half recon
ciliation, and Napoleon requested that
at least his brothers. eldest daughter
might be sent to Paris for use i'll his

about IA, was sent to live with Mime.
Mere. She was thoroughly discontinued
and wrote bright, sarcastic letters &c
her stepmother, whom she loved, de-
picting the avarice Of her grandmother
and the foibles of her other relatives.
These, like all other suspected letters OF
the time, were intercepted and read in
the cabinet noir." Their contents be-
ing made known to Napoleon, he sent

Lucien or his family, Napoleon formal

ECONOMY IN CUTTING.
ARE WOMEN TRAINED TO ABSOLUTE
ACCURACY2
Olive Harper Shows How Inexperienced
and Careless Dressmalxers Waste vslu-
able Material-How to Cut Garments to
the Best Advantage.
Especial Correspondence

Especial Correspondence
NEW YORK, April 2O-The new wo-
man has yet some things to learn from
men and one Of them is how to cut a
garment with the greatest economy.
think 1 hear faint protests from ev-
erywhere, for all women labor under
the delusion that they are Saving cut
ters." They are not and the reason lies
in two things. One is that they are not
trained to absolute accuracy and the
other is that they distrust their own
abilities and, further, not one in a
thousand has true eye for form or size.
Therefore the woman says: 81 shall cut
my material little larger all around
than the pattern and then, if it is too
large, 1 can take it in. If 1 cut it ex-
actly the same, it might turn out to be
too small and l couldn't remedy that. F"
So she takes her skirt pattern and cuts
out the pieces one by one, allowing an
inch all around for take up" This
"inch all around" amounts to respect
ably sized piece of stuff when it is all
done. There are % seams, or rather 20
raw edges, making IL seams around the
ordinary waist. If the amateur allows
that extra inch to all the seams, and she
does ninety-nine times out of hundred,
she has 22 inches Of stuff more in width
than her measurement calls for. This,
when the waist is fitted, is all thrown
away.
To avoid this unnecessary waste of
material, more or less costly, she should
cut her pattern out first in lining and
this, when basted, should be tried on
wrong side out and nodded to the figure
by means of pins. This should then be
slightly stretched after taking it off so
that the pinholes will show, or, better
still, it should have the seams marked
with pencil while the pins are still in.
This modelled waist lining should then
be rebasted and again tried on. When
sure that it is a perfect fit, it should be
ripped apart and the edges neatly trim
med. A pattern then may be taken OF
this glove fitting lining and kept for
future use. Goods can then be cut on
the line with safety.
There are many intricate and compli-
Gated machines and systems for taking
measurements and cutting garments,
but when one looks below the surface
one finds that somewhere or other in
the process there is the trying ON of the
lining and the molding of it to fit differ
ent figures.
Close Lay Cutting.
Now, we will suppose that the young
dressmalxer has her model pattern in
good stiff paper and her skirt pattern
The next thing is to cut the dress. She
is apt to rely upon the quantities set
down in fashion books, upon the enve-
lope of the pattern or ON the previous
demands Of dressmaker. 1t is but hon
est to say that not one writer of fashions

and Pass Examination.
The Austrians take no chances with
their BARRIERS. They must be good, and
the BARRIERS and Wigmakers' union Of
Vienna sees to it that they are Provi-
sion is also made in their code for wom-
en- BARRIERS who desire to carry on the
business of their husbands in case of the
latters' death or illness.
But in order to do this the wife must
have been enrolled in the union as an
apprentice for three years. Apprentices,
by the rules of the union, must appear
in Vienna in the presence Of judges OF
the union and show their skill before
they are allowed to open shops Of their
own.
A properly certified barber must have
a knowledge Of and pass an examination
i'll shaving, hair cutting, hair curling
and wigmaking, and during the period
before the issuance Of a certificate the
poor and others who are frugal serve as
subjects for experiment.
At the examination the young men
have their razors dulled by four strokes
in pine plank, and they must then
sharpen them. A subject is assigned to
each, who must be tonsorially perfect,
in the opinion Of the judges, when the
apprentice has released him.
After this a certificate is issued and
the apprentice serves two years as a
journeyman before he may open shop
as an employer. The average age of APP

trade is ID years. ST. Louis Post-Dis-
