NAPoLEON's LAST BATTLE.
Woman Still Living Who Saw the
Great General Leave the Field
of Waterloo.

LIE Gaulois gives an interesting ac-
count of conversation with one of
the very few surviving spectators of
the battle of Waterloo, a widow
named Givron, the Tooth anniversary
of whose birth is about to be celebra-
ted in the little village of Viesville,
Hainault. She relates that on the
morning of the day of the great bat
tie she ran away from her parents
and made her way through the
woods, being curious to see what was
going on. She was close to Hougo-
mont when the place was attacked
by the French troops, and remained
in hiding for hours, not daring TIC
move. The cannonade having dimin.
ished, she ventured toward the farm,
but fled horror stricken at the sight,
the ground, as she expressed it, being
red mud, so drenched was it with
blood. She ran across the fields and
reached the Bots de Plancenoit, where
she fell asleep, worn out by fatigue
and excitement. At dusk she was
awakened by the noise of horses
hoofS, and saw a troop of cavalry,
headed by man of short stature
mounted on curvetting gray horse.
He was riding slowly on, as if in
dream, looking straight ahead and
paying no heed to what went on
about him. The girl learned on the
same evening from her relatives,
when she finally reached home, that
the rider was Napoleon. Nine. Givron
is remarkably active, and is partic-
ularly proud of her eyesight, which,
she declares, is as good as it was rs
years ago. When her daughter, Mar
celine, who, as she says, is only ~,
sits down to sew, her mother threads
her needles for her. The old woman
had seven children and her descend
ants number 90.

ner towards Hestor. Capt. Waters
also stepped forward. Mr.. Morton
and>his associates were speechless in
amazement. "Put the boat about at
once, and do not mar by your ill
timed jokes, an occasion which has
been SO thoroughly enjoyed by all
your guests" Hammond's eyes
flashed in anger.
This is no merry jest or joke"
said Hestor, who though slightly
pale, was cool and collected. 1--WE

night nor for many days to come. I
have determined to ascertain whether
or not the universe will continue to
run without the aid of you gentle
men, and have adopted this pleasant
method of making the test. Of
course there are bound to be some
trltilng annoyances and some worry
occasioned, but with your aid these
can be reduced to minimum"
With the exception of Mr.. Kent,
the guests had arisen from their
chairs. Their faces were study for
an artist. Mr.. Rockwell was in a
rage, and nervously grasped a heavy
decanter, as if to use it as a weapon.
eff you are in earnest. this is an
outrage for which you shall suffer-"
he shouted in a voice hoarse with
passion. He dropped the decanter in
his excitement and it smashed in
fragments on the floor. eff you are
sane, this is crime. If it is Joke,
it is an intolerable outrage. If you
are crazy, you should be taken care
of by your friends. I am sure" he
continued, lowering his voice and
speaking with more calmness, "that
Capt. Waters and his crew will pay
no attention to your orders. Surely
he will not detain gentlemen of our
standing against our will"
Mr.. Kent arose deliberately and
paced up and down the dining-room,
smoking his cigar with the air of a
spectator who was but slightly inter
ested in the matter at issue. Mr..
Pence was in an agony of terror.
"This is awful" he groaned. sSpeak
to him, Mr.. Carmody. Speak to the
captain!"

BABY's FIRST CRADLE.
An Idea from France Which Deserves
to Be Adopted by Young
American Mothers.

When baby first comes to reign in
nursery land, don't put him into
cradle right away for his 20 hours of
sleep day! The custom that the
French have of providing a dainty
bassinet is not only pretty idea,
but practical one as we'll. The bas-
sinet can be placed where one wishes,
and its depths of luxurious comfort
prevent all danger of draught.
A pretty homemade bassinet can
be made out of an ordinary clothes
basket. Make the lining by quilting,
with a thin layer of cotton between,
two thicknesses of any soft material;
then fasten this in place around the
inner sides by baby ribbons, sewed at
intervals and fastened to the wicker
work OF the bassinet.
The handles can be wound with rib
bon and tied with a finishing bow,

ounce, diluted with water, is added for
each pound of glue used in the afore-

keep for some weeks. 1t is said that

THEY LACKED TACT.
True Stories of Two Women Who
Made Remarks That Had Better
Been Left Unsaid.

A woman who would consult her
husband on his deathbed as to what
mourning she would wear for him
might fairly be pronounced lacking in
tact. You agree with me? 4 should
not hesitate to say that she had not
proved herself a perfect wife. "Mon-
strous!" l hear you say. Yet this
really occurred the other day. The
woman in question belongs to that
class in which reticence is quality
almost unknown, and in which argu-
ments are conducted by means of
lighted paraffine lamps and sharp
edged tenders. Think of the poor
man clinging to life and cherishing
hope that he would get better, and be-
ing plunged into an abyss of desolatio
by the wife of his bosom murmuripg
tenderly in his ear: "The doctor says
you are too far gone to recover, AIRY,
What sort of Widows bonnet shall I
buy?"
Several instances of want of tact
have come before me lately. One was
the case of a wife who had gone abroad
and sent home foreign postcard to
the following effect:
Safely arrived, and have just en-
joyed the first well-cooked meal I
have had for months"
Her husband wrote to her:
'What madness possessed you to
write what you did on postcard? You
have bitterly eNasperated my mother
and her cook, and the house is in such
turmoil in consequence that 1 am
most uncomfortable"
The peccant wife's reply was this:
81 can't forgive myself. and l am
sure you will never forgive me for
writing that idiotic postcard. You Will
scarcely believe me when l tell YOU
that writing in Germany, as l did.
some ridiculous idea possessed me that
a postcard in English could not be un-
derstood, forgetting that its destina-
ton was England. = London Truth.

Adams, far removed as her life is
from Journalism.
But the two are in some ways alike.
The duchess is much older than Miss
Adams, although she looks nearer
40 than 60. In expression, these
women resemble each other closely.
They seem to have absorbed the same
calming influences from their contact
with the slums. In fresh coloring
they are alike and in full figure,
while l was struck by their similar
ity of taste in dress. The last time
saw Miss Adams she wore Il Sc
verely plain tailor-made gown, from
which the duchess might easily have
copied the dress she has had on
every time / have met her. The Eng
lishwoman and the American are
both simple of manner and gentle
voiced. Each is fired by the same mo-
tive-an overwhelming sympathy for
the worlds under dog.
The dowager duchess of Newcastle
has been twice married. Her second
husband, musician and man with
OUT Il tltle, dled before her grace
went into philanthropy. She kept
her title by courtesy It's title, by
the way, that May Yohe might one
day have had if she had stuck by
Lord Francis Hope. For Lord Francis
is heir to the present duke of New
castle and is the younger son of the
woman who looks like Jane adams.
Journalism is fad with most Of
the Newcastlers. The little lame
duke is high church Anglican, al
most a Roman Catholic, like his
mother, who left the English church
to go to Rome. The chapel attached
to Clumber, the family place in the
north of England, is the finest private
place of worship in England, but the
uninitiated would think it Roman
Catholic, not Anglican. The duke has
some democratic tendencies. For in
stance, he taught his little nephew's
governess to ride the bicycle, and
trotted along beside her day by day
regardless of the weather. The pu-
pill, moreover, was neither young nor
beautiful. His grace was merely
kind.-Lady Mary, in Chicago Chron-
icla

DUCHESS IN s1UMs.
Her Grace of Newcastle Lives In
WhitechapeI, the Most Degrad-
ed Part of London.

The rich and handsome dowager
duchess of Newcastle, who lives by
preference in Whitechapel London's
worst slum, has at last consented to
tell the story of her slum life. She's
not intellectual, at least she says she
isn't, but she tells good story of
her home in Whitechapel in the cur
rent number of the Pail Mall maya
zine, and, furthermore, she has given
US few pleasant opportunities to
see how she lives. Her grace says
among other things that she thinks
there is more morality on the White
chapel side of London than in the
West end. She says she never be-
gan to know the value of money I'M
til she moved from Mayfair. She
thinks it would do society good if
they'd give up comfort for part of
their time and see how high their in
come seemed when spent in White
chapel, on Whitechapel proportions.
The duchess is an English edition
OF Jane Adams. Philanthropy has
found in her grace an ardent advo-
cate. When she forsook society for
the poor, the duchess was thought of
merely as a. beautiful and rich wo!n-
an. Ten years of Whitechapel life
have shaken her up considerably, and
the English have begun to take her
seriously.
While Miss Adams is a student of
economics, the duchess is urging peo-
pie to go to mass. She visits the sick
and befriends the orphan. Commit
tees galore claim her grace as mem
Der, and she's very much in with the
clergy of the Catholic church. Even
the pope recognizes in the widow of
the late duke of Newcastle valiant
ally, and when she visits her daugh-
ter. Princess Doria, in Rome, as she
is doing now, all sorts of favor is
shown to her in high places, all of
which is very different from Miss

GERMAN MARRIAGE BLuNDERs
Two Good Stories of Embarrassing
Mistakes Made by
Pastors.

1T appears that pastors as well as
registrars in Germany get confused
over their matrimonial business,
says the London Telegraph. A few
weeks ago one of the latter, at Neu
Ruppin, near Berlin, stamped the
certificate of marriage with the
words free from trichinosis,' as he
happened to be an official for exam
ming meat as well. Now this anec-
dote can be capped by the following,
in which a pastor plays the part of
the muddler: \ young widower of
Singlingen, near Wiesbaden, was
about to enter upon wedlock for a
second time, and the arrangements
were all complete for Il nuptial cere-
mony at Heddernheim for recent
Sunday. Suddenly, the day before
the wedding, messenger came from
the reverend gentleman to the bud
ding bridegroom to say that the serv-
ice must be postponed for three
weeks, as, in publishing the bans he
had given out the name of the
mother-in-law instead of the intended
bride. Persuasion was of no avail.
The only alternative for the BRIDE
groom was to marry the mother-in-
law if he insisted on the nuptial cere-
mony taking place on the day orig
inally fixed; and, as neither he nor
his tnancee was disposed to accept
this solution, the pair have to wait
the prescribed time of another three
weeks.

Little Trick Worth KNOWING.

Hickorynut cake is deservedly a ia
yorite among sweets, but it is not
every cook who cares to spend the
time required for Smelling the nuts
A little trick that is worth knowing
in this connection is this: If boiling
water is poured over the nuts and the
latter allowed to remain immersed
FOR 20 inmates before cracked it will
be an easy matter to extract the nut
nleats.
