Napoleon In Evergreen.

The great Napoleon, done In ever
green, is the unique statue that stands
in the garden of M. d'Aguilleres, in the
suburbs of Paris. The statue is a perfect
model of the "little corporal" in char
aoteristio attitude, wearing cooked
hat and sword and snuffbox in hand.
The features are very lifelike.
The greatest care is necessary in order
to preserve the likeness, and the artist
gardene, spends considerable time il
clipping off dead leaves and cutting
away an occasional branch. The sigma
ture of Napoleon is reproduced at the
foot of the statue in flowers. Paris

A Maharajah,s Revenge.

The maharanee of Nepaul committed
suicide in horror at the Disagreement
which an attack of smallpox had caused
in her features. The maharajah, who
was passionately attached to her, first
wreaked his vengeance on the physi-

the idols, placed loaded cannon before
them and babe gunners fire. In terror
at the proposed blasphemy they refused.
Thereupon the maharajah hanged sew
eral of them. The survivors then sub
mitted, and the guns were fired and the
