The Vicissltudes of an Emperor.

The vicissitudes which Louis Ma
poleon experienced almost from the
cradle to the grave were probably all
but unexampled. He was a fugitive
before he could speak articulately. In
the interval between his goth and his
4Oth year he was a prisoner in Stras-
burg, Lorient, Ham and the Concier-
gerie. He was an outlaw for more than
half his life. There were incidents, at
Strasburg, and later at Boulogne,
which brought upon him the mock and
jeer of Europe. He carried baton as
a special constable in Park Lane on
Chartists' Day. Then, by a sudden
turn of fortune he became President
of the French Republic. The Coup
French; and thenceforth for fifteen
years he was, perhaps, the most-con-
sidered man of Europe. 1t was said of
him that on being asked whether he
should not find it difficult to rule the
French nation he replied, ooh, no!
nothing is more easy. II leur faut une
guerre tous les quartre ans" (They
just need a war every four years.) This
policy held good in a modified degree.
The Crimean war was for him a sue
cess, although not precisely triumph;
the Italian campaign. in spite Of its
hard-fought victories, ended abruptly
in approximation to a failure. The
Mexican expedition was an utter fiasco.
Yet Napoleon might have gone on w.t.
his program of a war every four years
but for the circumstances that there
happened to be in Europe in the mid
die Sixties an infinitely stronger,
more masterful and more ruse man
than the dreamy and decaying Ma
poleon. When he and Bismarck

,JeweIed Portieres,

For those who have ugly views from
their back windows or corridors lead
ing to back stairs, ETC., it is quite
serious matter as to how best to hide
them. Draperies are expensive when
the material is good, and inexpensive
material gets easily tossed. Bead
blinds, which may be made with very
little trouble at home, are clean and
tidy, besides being pretty, and have the
further advantage of admitting the
light while preventing people from
looking into the room. Measure the
width of the window or doorway you
wish to hide and get a carpenter to
make narrow lath to fit it, with small
grooves all the way along at equal dis
tances and rather close together. The
only thing you will then require is
ball or two OF macreme cord and plenty
of large glass beads In pretty colors,
to mix too many colors is mistake.
Thread the string with bead and knot
to prevent its slipping; do this at inter-
walls all the way down the string until
1t is the length required. 1t is advisa
BILE to tie each string securely on the
groove in the wooden lath as you go
along, as they are apt to tangle if
loose. Try TO have the strings as close
together as possible; the effect is quite
spoiled if they are straggly or far apart.
By the exercise of little patience and
ingenuity pretty pattern of flowers or
birds may be introduced. Beads suita-
BILE for this purpose may be purchased
at very low price.

GETTING TO THE GAME.
Now the relatives are dying
At most appalling rate,

Now the relatives are dying
At most appalling rate,
And the sudden spells of sickness
Much anxiety create.
And the strangest thing about these
Tales of woe, these faces wan,
Is that they are much more frequent
When the baseball seasons on.
There are trembling on the eyelids
VI the Office boy, once bright,
And he sadly makes announcement
That his uncle died last night.
Then the tears so plainly noticed
Down his face begin to stray,
And he sobs his thanks on being
Told he needn't work to-day.
AS the hour of noon approaches
1t is noticed that the clerk
Is so sick that he's unable
To continue at his work.
He's complaining OF fever
And pain that racks his head,
So he asks and gets permission
To 90 homo and seek his bed.
Just at 2 p. m. the merchant,
Who has long denounced the game,
Feels twinge of rheumatism,
And he suddenly gets lame.
Every minute brings more torture,
As his grimaces attest,
TIL at last for home he's starting,
With the hope of getting rest.
But ecovery is sudden,
And, from favorite grand-stand chair
That sick merchant sees the ball game,
And he sees the sick clerk there.
And among the yelling rooters
Onthe bleachers to the right,
Is the office boy who told them
That his uncle died last night.
Yes, the relatives are dying
At most appalling rate,
And the sudden spells of sickness
Much anxiety create.
But no undertaker's profit,
With the doctors it's the same,
For these tales are fabrications,
Told to get to see the game.

Injustice of Falling Prices.

Falling prices work outrageous in
Justice. Appalling is the moral wrong
which the fall of prices since 1873 has
wrought. Think of all those time con-
tracts, which form SO prominent a
feature of modern business. Probably
70 per cent of the worlds commercial
transactions are based on some sort of
deferred payment or credit. 1t is esti-
mated that trillion and half dollars
worth of these deferred payments are
outstanding at this time. Appreciat-
lng money is occasioning injustice in
Ease of every one of these obligations.
The business friction proceeding from
his source | mention presently; here
hold up to view the fraud of the sys-
tenn, how increase in the value of mon
ey robs debtors. 1t forces every one of
hem to pay more than he covenanted
TO pay-not more dollars, but more
value, the given number of dollars
embodying greater value at date of
payment than at date of contract. In
these days debtors must struggle hard
20 be able to pay what they honestly
owe; system which makes them pay
from 10 to 80 per cent blood money is

This gentleman, who was lecturing re-
Gently before an antiquarian society,
stated that it was the custom among
the Greeks for the nurses to carry a
sponge full of honey in a small pot to
stop the children from crying. The
professor went on to say that there are
two Greek vases in the British Mu-
scum. dating from 700 B. c., which
closely resemble the feeding bottles
used subsequently by the Romans. In
the old Roman cemetery of st. SepuI-
chre, Canterbury, England a feeding
bottle of bright red polished ware was
dug up in 1861, and Prof. Mosby came
to the conclusion that this bottle must
have been buried with the little Roman
