When the child was born and the ex-
Empress was informed of the fact her
rage was intense. She had planned for
her marriage of her son with the
youngest daughter OF Queen Victoria.
Consequently, wishing at all hazards
to break the liaisop, she induced the
Prince to go to Iuiuland. After the
death of the young Bonaparte Miss
Mary Watkins visited Chislehurst, but
she wss not received. Then she came
to Paris and gave her son to lad y
named De Bercy, who raised the little
fellow with the greatest care. Miss
Mary Watkins went to Melbourne,
Australia, where she earned her living
honorable as school teacher. Prin-
ces Matilda, bearing of the affair,
wanted to see the child, who was then
about 10 years old. Two or three years
afterward the Empress Eugene her
self welcomed the abandoned one, and
she was often noticed in the Bots de
BOulOgne in company with young
schoolboy-
Most of the letters of the Prince I'm
perial that had involuntarily slipped
from the hands of Miss Mary Watkins
were bought by the Empress. In JAN
uary, 1878, the Times published the fol-
lowing advertiser emit:

as they can, but they had better not
meddle with it, because it can be
proved conclusively by the production
of further documents if necessary.

New Remedy For Burns.

A new and simple remedy for burns
is cold water, properly applied. If for
instance, the hand is badly burned, i'm
merse it in a jar of water, and keep it
there for several hours. Air must not
be allowed to get to the burned surface
when the water is renewed. When re-
moved from the water the burn should
receive some simple dressing, as -four,
and be neatly bandaged. This method
of treating a burn is said not only to
prevent all pain, but to leave the in
iured tissue without soreness. Com
mon table salt kept moistened over
the burn alleviates the singing pain,
and baking soda used in the same way
is soothing.

Tan Shoes Out OF StyIe.

The tan shoe, so far as woman is con-
cerned, has about had its'day, observes
u Philsdelphia paper. For the last two
or three years IL has held it's own over
all others for summer wear, but this
year finds it's popularity on the wane.
Like everything else in life, the tan
shoe has its good aud It's bad points. II
does not show husband mud like other
shoes, and In admirably adapted TO coun-
try and seaside wear, but there Is some
thing in the dressing OF tan leather
which draws sensitive feet into almost
doubled aud twisted bow-knots. Per-
haps this IL the reason that 80 many
women have discarded tan, shoes for
plain black or linen-colored canvas
boots and ties this season. At any
rate, swell bootmakers say the tan shoe
does not occupy the place In the esti-
nation OF womankiud that it once did

profit by this fashion, are mourning its

ests. This was the commencement of
the romance. The sequel follows:
One day Miss Mary noticed her lover
speaking pleasantly to Lord Beacons-
field at Brompton, on the occasion of
the marriage of the Duke and Duchess
of Norfolk. Naturally she thought
that for an ordinary individual he had
aristocrstic acquaintance. Shortly
afterward she saw in the window of a
picture shop photograph of the Prin-
Prince, wearing the cross OF the Legion
of Honor. That.was how she first learn
ed his identit But the romance con-
tinued all the same. Just as she lOved
the private individual. she continued
to adore the Prince. When the child
was born the mother came to London
and lived at SO Germyn street, to which
address the Prince often wrote to her.
To be precise, he gave her in all 1885,
including e4OO on his departure for
Zululsrd, whence he was destined new
er to return.
At this time the enemies OF the Bon
apartists represented the son OF Napol
con III. as young man of lit
tie intelligence and with
dissgreeable temper. 1t was even
added that he failed in his eX-
animation at the end of the year in the
military college of WoOlwich. But all
that was nonsense. AS a matter OF TACT,
it was well known that the Prince I'm
perial was talented young man, and
that, far from having failed in his ex-
a animation at Woolwich, he came out
among the first, his number being o..
Documents to that effect are in exist

with everybody on account of his cor

will not consent to cross the strait.
But is there not another motive?
Evidently there is. For a long time
the ex-Empress has visited Paris every
year, in spite of her age and her in
firmities. The truth is that she comes
simply to see the son of the Prince I'M
perial, the young man who, after hav-
ing been pupil in one of the lyceums.
has recently passed his examination for
bachelor of arts.
The Prince Imperial was 20 years of
age and pupil at Woolwich when he
hrst became acquainted with Miss
Mary Watkins. The Empress, who
was always stingy, deprived the young
man OF the money which is usually al
lowed to persons of his rank Conse-
quently. when he met the young girl
he told her that he belonged to a small
family in business and that his recour-
ces were limited. The couple became
smitten with each other. Miss Mary

How To Remove Stains.

Ripe tomatoes will positively remove

stains-indeed, most fruit stains; but
when it comes to tea stains, results are
dubious. This is probably due to tea
authorizations. Clear. boiling water will
certainly remove some tea stains. but
that is all that can be said. There are
other "sure methods" which give vary
ing results. The clearest points about
ugly stains is that plate should in
variably be placed under the teapot by
way of preventing them. AS for blea-
ches, all the patent" varieties have
more or less lye in them, and need to
be very cautiously used. A tablespoon

The Bdby'S Scalp.

Many little babies have tendency to
an irritation of the scalp which is so
common that one would almost fancy

should be disfigured by the insight
eruption known variously by the dis
agreeable names of ''cradle-cap,'
"milk-crust" and 'scurf," says Harp

redness or a scsly condition of the scalp
appears, the head should be regularly
anointed each night with vaseline,
which must be gently rubbed into the
skin. This Is TO remain on all night, a
large piece of soft linen protecting the
pillow from grease. At the. time
OF the morning bath the head is to be
thickly lathered with old CASTLE or tar
soap, aud then washed in warm water
containing little borax. In the first
stages OF the eruption this treatment
will generally suffice, but If the
yellowish crust be already formed, it

the manger we date foreign missions.
The Jewish faith was not a missionary
faith. The Greeks taught all but
Greeks are harbarians. Jesus said,

with no force but persuasion, though
awful martydom made christian Europe

of immortality. Poor Job cried, eff

taught: 10 my Fathers house are

immortality or the social life of heaven.
