she accepted it, saying:
II would rather be sheltered under
the wing Of an eagle than suspended
from the bill Of a goose"
Indeed, she had the greatest admira-
ton for Napoleon, and always said he
was "the greatest genius that ever
lived" defending him against the Brit
ish, whom she loathed. She held Je-
rome in the utmost contempt, and his
treatment of her changed her into a
cold, cynical woman of the world.
During her later social career in Eu-
rope she was the belle of every capt.

Bonaparte family recognized the regu-
larity Of her marriage to Jerome and
she was frequently the guest of Ma

Marriage a Real Lottery.

In some parts Of Russia q queer
game is still played which has much
to do with the future lives Of the par
Elephants. Some prominent person in
the village announces that the annual
merry making will be held at his house.
On the appointed day the young men
and women hasten in huge excitement
to the meeting place.
There are songs and games and
dances, but they are simply prelude
to the more important business Of the
day.
When the time comes the hostess
leads all the girls into one room, where
they seat themselves on the benches
Laughing and chattering, they are each
promptly muff1ed in sheets by the hos
tess. The head and hair and figure
are completely covered and when this
is done the girls resemble mummies.
The young men draw lots and one
by one they enter the room where the
muff1ed girls sit. Helpless so far as
sight or touch goes, the puzzled lover
tries to find his favorite. Maybe she
would help him if her eyes were not
hidden, but she is as helpless as he.
Finally he chooses one and then he
may unveil her. This is the critical
moment and disappointment or rap
ture will be the result Of seeing her
face.
It is the law and custom that the
man shall marry the girl he has picked
out, and if either backs out heavy
forfeit must be paid. 1t is said that
this matrimonial lottery is productive
Of many happy marriages.

ROME VERSUS PARIS.

When the Eternal City Was the Art
Center of the World.
There was time when Rome was
the worlds art center. No artists edu-
cation was considered complete unless
he spent some time in that city. There
was always to be found there a coterie
of strong men, many Of them famous,
in whose society the tyro might mingle
and gain much by the companionship.
That day has gone by, however, and
a change has taken place Paris has
usurped the prerogative of the old
city, and it is to her that the world
now turns for new ideas Of art The
Italian galleries remain, the master
pieces hang in their accutomed places,
the sky Is as blue, the air as soft and
the outlook as lovely, but the glory Of
Roman art life has departed. The hu-

interest to the student, has betaken it.

and the judgment must be left to
the reader-the fact remains that to-
day Paris is the hub about which the

Yet from Paris there go annually to

GRANDSON OF A KING.

Relation of. the New Secretary of the
Navy to the Bonapartes.
Charles J. Bonaparte, the new Sec
rotary Of the Navy, concerns himself
little about his royal origin. His grand
mother, Elizabeth Patterson, was the
reigning belle of Baltimore when Ma
poleons brother, Jerome, afterward
King Of Westphalia, visited 1t. They
first saw each other at race course.
A few days later Jerome was intro
duced to Miss Patterson, with whom
he fell madly in love- He determined
on making her his wife and they were
soon bethrothed.
When the French consul at Wash
ington heard what Jerome had done
he was beside himself with rage and
terror What would Napoleon say?
He paled at the thought and alter
nately tore his hair and said naughty
words in choice Partisan. He drove to
Baltimore and implored the young
man in vain to break off the match.
But the marriage took place, and the
consul, making a virtue Of necessity,
graced the occasion with his presence.
When Napoleon heard Of the nuptials
he was furious. He Immediately for
babe the consul to advance Jerome
any funds and warned every French
ship captain not to take on board
"Citizen Bonaparte and the young per-
son to whom he had attached himself"
Three years later the couple sailed to
Lisbon in one Of Mrs. Bonaparte's
fathers ships, but the woman was not
allowed to land. An ambassador from
Napoleon waited upon her and asked
what he could do for Miss Patterson"
She looked him haughtily in the face
and replied:
"Tell your master that Nine Bona
parte is ambitious and demands her
rights as a member Of the imperial
family"
Jerome fastened to Paris, hoping to
win over Napoleon. For a time the
Emperor refused TO see him. When
at length he was admitted to his
brothers presence he pleaded with
tears in his eyes on behalf OF the
'Iittle GIRL" but Napoleon was ada
mant. The erring one must give Up
his bride or suffer Napoleonic ostra-
cism. Jerome was in despair, but at
first was true to his beautiful wife.
Being excluded from every port on
the continent Of Europe, and in mo-
mentary danger Of assassination, Nine
Bonaparte sailed for England. There
q new peril confronted her. The pep
ple. learning that she was Napoleon's
sister-in-law, wished to mob her and
sack the house in which she was liv-
ing until they learned that Napoleon
was her enemy. After a stay Of sew
eral months in England, Nine. Bona
nate. accompanied by her son, who
was born in that country and named
Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte, father Of
the Secretary Of the Navy, sailed for
tbe United States, where she was re-
ceived as one surrounded by a halo of
romance.
Jerome afterward obtained an an
nulment Of the marriage from the
French council of state and married
Catherine of Wurtemberg.
After Nine. Bonap arte's return to
Baltimore Jerome offered her a title
and an annual income of 100000, but
she declined it, saying that "Westpha-
liza was a very large country, but 1t
was too small to hold two queens"
But when Napoleon offered her an an
nnal income Of $4,000 provided she

TRAINING THE BABY.


After Mrs. Walters had read up"
the subject thoroughly and tabulated
the results of her investigation-in he1
methodical mind-she told her hus.
band, says the Chicago News, that
she was going to make a change with
baby. "We have been making a mis-.
take with him. Last night after din.
ner we played with him and rocked
him for full hour Tonight he is to
be put to bed, and left to go to sleep
by himself"
Walters, who is an extremely youth
full father, was about tc say that rock
ing the baby was part of the fun"
Fortunately he realized in time that
this was not likely to meet with the
approval Of his wife's more serious
mind, SO he suggested instead that
baby might cry.
1--WE must be prepared for that"
Mrs. Walters said, gently but firmly.
For night or two he may cry very
hard. But conscientious parents will
not neglect the best good Of their chill.
dren because Of few tears"
Mrs. Walters did not give her reso.
luton time to cool. The baby, dimpled
and cooling and ready for his evening
frolic, was put to bed and the door
closed upon him. At first he appeared
to regard this as a new feature Of the
game. From the next room his parents
could hear occasional tnterrogatory
gurgles. Then there came a faint
wall, then a flood Of inyective in baby
language.
Hes calling ..us names now" said
Walters. ''I'm glad he takes that tack
rather than the plaintive."
He had hardly spoken when an ear
splitting shrek sounded from the next
room. Walters sprang to his feet, but
his wife waved him back.
''This was only what was to be ex-
pected, Robert" she said, determined,
though pale. "He will cry hard to-
night, and possibly tomorrow night.
BY that time he will have learned his.
lesson. All the authorities 1 have con-
suited agree that it is impossible for
a healthy child Of his age to injure
himself by crying"
Walters suggested that 1t would
have been better to accustom him to
the change gradually. On this point,
too, his wife was firm, quoting her au-
thorities with irritating readiness The
Walterses are a harmonious couple,
but this time they came near quar-
rel.
"There, he's quieting down at last"
said Mrs. Walters, triumphantly, and
she was right. Baby's frantic outcries
had given way to pitiful sobs. Pres
emily these also ceased, and Mrs.
Walters smiled across the table at her
husband, who smiled back. Both were
so relieved that the ordeal was over
that they were inclined to overlook
whatever might have been unpleasant
in the past
"Now, you see, he's asleep. I'm 60
ing to take peep at him."
She stepped lightly across the room
and opened the door of the bedroom.
Then she uttered a succession Of
shrieks compared to which baby's re-
cent exhibitions were as nothing. With
a bound Walters was at her side, fear
ing he knew not what
The baby lay on the floor, a big
lump on his forehead caused by hitting
the floor when he fell out of bed. He
was sleeping peacefully in spite of the
fact that there were undried tears on
his cheek.

An old-time quack compounded bis
sympathetic ointment according to
the following prescription: ''Take

needed was the weapon with which
a man had been stricken. This he
anointed with the ointment, pressed to
the wound and was we'll again, or
