still stronger. It vas not enough, 1t
did not satisfy his Unsuitable craving
for renown, that all nations should
recognize him as the greatest of iV-
ing men he would have his name
coupled forever with those of Alex
ander and of Julius Caesar, and
placed beside theirs in the worlds
great Valhalla.
The officer who would learn to con
duct even the simplest military oper-
alton will find in Napoleon's publish
ed correspondence proofs without
end of how deeply he thought out his
plans beforehand. No leader of men,
as far as military history tells US,
ever calculated more infinitely than
he did his chances of success, Or pro-
vided beforehand against every prob
able, I might say almost every pos
sible, contingency. From this prac-
tise resulted the fact that he was
very seldom taken by surprise, and
no matter how startling an unex-
pected event might prove to others
it found him fully prepared for it.
Writing to "The Committee of Safe
ty," in October, 1893, he remarks that
"three-fourths of mankind do not DC
cupy themselves with even the most
necessary things until they are sud
denly made to feel their pressing
need-in other words, only just when
it is too late" In reading the story
of his life, no fact is more remark
able than the care with which he al
ways provided himself with a second
scheme should his first fail or become
impossible. Take, for instance, the
plans he made for the invasion of
England, which he had worked out in
the fullest details. When Admiral
Calder's victory destroyed all imme-
date chance of being able to put
them into execution, he at once drew,
as it were, from out his sleeve the
alternative project he had prepared.
"Army of England" was at once
set in motion from Boulogne, and,
the news being kept a profound Sc
cret, he moved it across France into
and the victorious cam
paign of Ulm was the result.

THE GENIUS OF NAPOLEON.
He Did Not Win Victories by Natural
Ability Alone, but Carefully Prepared
Himself for Every Emergency.

1t is very common to ascribe tn
marvellous conquests of Napoleon al
most wholly to his pre-eminent nat
ural ability, but hal the great par
played by foresight and study ha
been too much underestimated is con
clusively shown by Field-marsha
Wolseley, of England, in his articl
on "The Young Napoleon" in tn,
current number of the Cosmopolitan
Magazine. We make the following
extracts:
History tells us of no famous
ruler or general who has read more
about the great men of action in al
ages than Napoleon had done in his
early years. The writings of Plut.
arch had been his delight, and from
the soul-stirring pages he had doubt.
less learnt encouragement, as well
as useful lessons. His natural ge-
MUS for wars endless combinations
proved eventually equal to that pos
sessed by the greatest leaders de,
scribed in ancient history. But with
a wisdom beyond his age he soon
realized that genius, unfortifed by
the military lessons which history
alone can teach, is too often but the
wllI-O>-the-wisp that will tempt you
on to your destruction. He began at
an early age to feel that, if his soar
ing ambition was v e to be satisfied,
it could only be so by a thorough
study of the lives and achievements
of the great soldiers and rulers who
had gone before him.
The story of his school-days in
France, without money, without
friends, and even without cordial
playmates, is truly pathetic. Not
only was he the architect of his own
fortune, but without advice from
others he had educated himself to
think logically, and by degrees had
deliberately prepared himself by
close study for the great future he
seems always to have believed was
before him.
He did not, however, rest content
with mere dreams as to that future.
The history of the Revolution I'D TO
1896 taught him that boldness and
cunning, combined with great abil-
lty, might secure to the ambitious
man a large share in the future gov-
eminent of France. His clear brain.
we'll stored with the teaching of his
tory, reminded him that in all the
worlds epochs of mad anarchy. the
successful general, if sufficiently
young and INSCRIPTIONS, is sure to
come to the front. To make himself
master, he requires just sufficient
daring and determination to press
through the wild crowd of noisy talk
erS who almost always usurp poIiti-
cal power during the opening scenes
OF a revolution. To hold and retain
the authority so obtained, a high or
der OF well-balanced wisdom is re-
qulred; and Bonaparte, without
doubt, felt that he was a man who
