NAPOLEON'S OLD BLUE TEA SET,
Mexico is hardly the country in which
one would expect to find any souvenirs
of Napoleon, yet a notable relic of this
kind has just been found there, says
the st. Louis Republic.
1t is a tea set, fashioned from the IA
nous Sevres ware, which was manu-
featured for Napoleon in 1906. Its color
is bleu de rOi and it is stamped with
the imperial arms, the bees and deco
rations being in old gold. In every de-
tail it is as perfect today as when it
left the factory, and as to the date of
it's manufacture there can be no ques-
tion since it is clearly indicated by a
red mark on the back of each piece
Whether the emperor used it much or
little is not known, but after his death
it passed into the possession of his heirs
and thus in time became the property
of Louis Napoleon. During his reign 1t
remained in Paris, but after his death
it was purchased by an Austrian mer-
chant from the executors of his estate
at Chiselhurst, in England. The Aus
trian took it to Vienna and soon re-
ceived a handsome offer for it from a
firm of jewellers in Mexico City, which
he accepted The new owners retained
it in their possession for several years,
but finally disposed of it to Mr.. F. B.
McKircher, assistant general manager
of the Mexican Central railway.
For the last few years many adj
mirers of Napoleon in France and else
where have been wondering what be-
came of his beautiful Pea set, and the
news of its being located has attracted
unusual attention and is impelling sew
eral persons to ask whether there may
not be other Napoleon relics in Mexico.
