GUARDS NAP0LE0N's TOMB.
A Quaint and Interesting Character
Reminiscent of the Days OF
frances Greatness.

Among the veterans calmly living
out their heretofore stormy lives in
the quiet, silent gardens Of the In.
valides, one Of the best known is the
aged Pere Denys Roch, who is a
great favorite with members of the
imperialist party and whose person
atty Is doubtless familiar to many
readers as the custodian Of Napo.
Icons tomb. This gallant old grog-
nard, says Mainly About People, who
styles himself grandioseiy orderly of
his majesty the King Napoleon L."
but who in reality was only a ser
geant in the voltigeurs de Ia garde.
makes a great point of never missing
the annual service in memory of the
prince imperial to which refer.
So the other day he made his ap-
pearance at the Church of st. Au-
gustin in his ordinary uniform rs one
Of the Invalides, with the exception
Of the usual headgear. In place of
this he proudly wore his enormous
voltigeur shake, with the imperial
eagle, topped by great red and yell
low plume. Yet no one in the church
smiled at this grotesque reappear-
ance Of relic Of the grande arme,
for, frivolous as many of these toy
Bonapartists, they OWNED the touch
ing faith that possessed the old mans
soul-the unsuitable fidelity to the
memory OF his master. On the con-
trary, they overwhelmed him with
sympathetic greetings, Prince Murat
shook hands with him, and then the
old man went home through the
streets of the city, n quaint and pa
thetic figure Of hero in his extraor-
binary bedizenment.

Identifying the Idiots.

A gentleman once being shown over
an idiot asylum. says Sir Wilfred Law
son, asked an attendant how they
knew when an idiot was considered TO
be sufficiently restored TO sanity TO be
discharged. "Oh," said the attendant,
ut is easily managed. We take them
into the yard where there are several
troughs. We turn on the taps and then
give the idiots buckets to bail out the
water and empty the troughs. Many
Of them 60 on baking away while the
tap keeps running. but them that isn't
