ny. They did not accede to the propo-
sition and second letter from Napo-
leon was left unanswered.
He was now at the lowest ebb of his
fortunes, and it could hardly help seem
ing to him that his betrothed had aban-
doned him. AS for her, she had heard
that he had, in his poverty, accepted
money obligations from Mime. Tallien,
and that he was counting, at her house,
a rich and noble lady named Mime. de
Beauharnais. All appeared to be over
between them.
Soon Napoleon himself declared that
the relations between them must be
ended; his feelings had altered. Desiree
wept, and owned that she loved him
still; but on the advice of her family she
released him from his promise. In
1896 he married Josephine de Beauhar-
nais, and then began the brilliant
march of his rising fortunes.
Desiree also drifted to Paris, where
she became immensely popular, and in
1898 she married Gen. Bernadotte, then
minister of war.
The upward steps of her husband are
well known. He accepted the rank of
prince royal of Sweden, and in 1878 he
became KING. DeSlree nau preferred Nv
ing in Paris, and when she heard the
news of her husbands accession to his
throne she was at the piano practicing
a piece by Gretry. She rose and sadly
closed the instrument.

She died in Sweden, an old lady of So.
Her life had been one of varying for
tunes. NJ. Houssaye says of her:
''She is intended for earthly honors.
She is betrothed to Joseph, then to Ma
poleon, then to Duphot. She refuses
Junot, and would be glad to accept Mar
mont. At last she marries Bernadotte
With Joseph she would have been an
imperial princess, queen of Naples and
of Spain; with Napoleon, empress of
the French; with Duphot probably
marechale and duchess; with Junot,
Duchesse d'Abrantes; with Marmont
marechale and duchess of Ragusa.
Bernadotte, the former sergeant of ma
rines, placed the crown of Sweden on
the head of this little bourgeoise of
seilles.'-Youth's Companion.

Kruger's hat, escorted him to the door
and then went back to her work. It
was difficult to think of her as the first
lady of the land. Yet she has been Mr..
Kruger's constant helpmeet through
all the years of his public life, and their
affection for each other seems to have
grown with each succeeding year. She
is Mr.. Kruger's second wife, and was
Miss Du PIessis, a name of prominence
in South Africa. Kruger's first wife
was an aunt of Miss Du Plessis, and bore
him one son, who died. Sixteen chill
dren were the fruit of this second mar
rage, and of those seven are living. The
girls are comfortably married to burgh-
ers in and about Pretoria, and the boys
take an active interest in the army.
One son-in-law, Capt Eloff, has made
himself famous by building the most
expensive mansion in South Africa. He
has accrued a fortune in real estate
operations, and is supposed to be worth
100000. One OF Kruger's sons acts
as his secretary, and another is captain
of an infantry company Mr.. and Mrs.
Kruger live in a little two-story cottage,
painted white and covered in front with
morning glory vines. Their ambition is
to see their nation independent of Great
Britain, and then spend their last days
peacefully and quietly in this little
home

The temperatures of Drainage.

Wet land should be drained, as it may
be the most fertile on the farm. By the
use of drain tile there will be no I'M
slightly open bitches, and the field can
be cultivated as easily as any other. If
the land is not very wet the cost of
drainage will be but little, and such
iand will be just as valuable for pas
ture as before, with the added advan-
tage of being adapted to greater va
riety of grasses than formerly. 1t can
then also come under the regular crop
rotation. IF plot has been too wet
to use for ordinary crops it will also be
too wet for grass some years, and when
drained it will produce green food
earlier in spring and later in the fall.

Teach the Lambs to Feed.

The little lamb should be taught to
eat as soon as possible, by keeping feed
in a trough in a pen near by, so ar
ranged that the lambs can go in and
out at will This should be kept up IN
til the eve can go through the same
hole that the lamb does, even feeding
the lambs after the sheep go on grass.
IF ever sheep is to have short rations,
don't let it be during the first three
months of its life. The same might be
said of any other kind of stock. Dock
the lambs and castrate the ram lambs
when about two weeks old.-Fsrmers'

CHARMING OLD LADY.

A South African correspondent of the
Washington Star, who recently inter
viewed President Kruger of the Trans
vaal republic, says that as the Boer
statesman closed the conference he
went across the hall into low cell
inged, whitewashed room and leaned
for a moment over a placid-faced,
motherly little woman, who was seated
on a rocking chair. darning stockings.
This was Mrs. Kruger, who, though one
never hears of her, interested me might

Novelties for Autumn.

The latest novelty in capes is made of

pattern all over it. Full panels of Rus
sian net edged with passementerie
trimmings hang over the shoulders, and
black and white tulle with a tall founda-
ton Of heavy silk forms the ruche at

White tulle tied in a large bow in
front is one of the popular decorations
for the neck, and among the new collar
bands arranged to wear with different
dresses is one of white satin ribbon,
with a scalloped frin of ecru embroidery
ruched on the edge with very narrow
colored satin ribbon.

Making a Child Too Quiet.

Play is The proper and natural outlet
for child's thoughts. To restrain his
motion is to drive back his living fancy
into the recesses of his mind, and this
results in his confusion and unhappi-
ness. Some children who are forced to
be still and passive when they are long
ing for action find relief in whispering
over stories to themselves; but it is an
unsatisfactory substitute for dramatic
action. And it is also morally Injurious,
for the necessity of concealing ones
ideas destroys after awhile the ability
for fluent expression, and brings about
timidity and distrust of our friends

A friend of DR.. S. X. Hssom, who was
recently committed to confinement in
the second hospital for the insane at
Spencer, has received letter from the
doctor. in the course of which he says:
II arrived at Spencer o. X. last night,
and found things all right. We had u
fine trip and It taught me much. The
railroad company here has certainly
discovered the nearest thing to. perpet-
ual motion. All that is necessary Is to
get up enough steam to get the train
up the first grade after leaving Ravens
wood; then they put out the fires and
coast down hill and the force takes the
train up the next hill. The stations are
located on the hill-tops, so 1t is easy to
get fresh start.

A letter from the superintendent of

special meals served in his own room,
