NapoIeon's ssDog Teeth. -

.'In the worlds history" said a Buff
falo man, there are three characters
who in the popular mind stand pre-em'
inent-AleXander the Great, Caesar and
Napoleon. Napoleon lived so near our
own time as to be almost within the
memory of living men, and there are
plenty OF men today in France who
heard of Napoleon from their fathers
who lived in the stirring times connect
ed with his name.
'There is a curious fact In connec.
ton with Napoleon's personal appear.
ance that | have never been able to
find mention OF In any of the biogra.
phies, and that is that two upper front
teeth were very long and Tapped over
the lower ones to an unusual extent
giving him a most peculiar appearance
when smiling. These teeth-the two
upper incisors, on either side Of the
meslal extraordinarily form line

teeth in the lower jaw. but in Napo-

English Cabinet Secrets.

Secrets of state are probably the best
kept of all secrets. When cabinet min
listers in England first are admitted to
the privy council, they have to take q
solemn oath not to make known the
conversation or proceedings of cabinet
councils or any communications they
may have with the queen or with an
other minister They cannot give q
hint of such things even to the highest
members of the government who are
not cabinet ministers. No clerk or sec.
rotary is allowed TO be present at cabi
net councils, no written record is kept
and il is the custom not to take any
notes hence no one but the crown and
the ministers ever knows what has re-
ally been said and decided at cabinet
meetings. The oath of secrecy lasts to
the end of life. An ex-cabinet minister
is as much bound by it as an actual
cabinet minister.
Any conversation a minister or peer
may have with the crown on state mat
tiers must also be kept secret. So must
letters TO and from the sovereign. And
even communications that have passed
between sovereigns and ministers OF
former reigns must not be divulged
But in cases of extreme urgency the
crown could and would allow breach
of the oath OF secrecy.
