He SOUGHT DEATH.
The Unfortunate Napoleon III. at the
Battle Of Sedan

The Unfortunate Napoleon III. at the
Battle of Sedan.
Sarah Bernhard mentions in her me-
moirs that Napoleon III. had two
horses shot under him at Sedan Some
having thrown doubt on her statement
and denied that the emperor was ever
in personal danger at the time, Baron
Verify, son of the late colonel of the
Cent Gardes, gives what he afirms to
be the authentic account of the unhaD-
py sovereign's persistent attempts to
court death when he saw that defeat
was unavoidable. On Sept. /, 1870,
at o'clock In the morning, Marshal
MacMahon, returning wounded to Sc
dan. met the emperor riding out to
Bazeilles. Napoleon III. realized that
the situation was desperate. He rode
slowly out, depressed and thoughtful,
under a hail of shot. During an hour
he inspected the positions. Bullets
rained on his escort. Captain dHende-
court was killed a few feet away from
the emperor. The latter, deliberately
seeking death, alighted, ordered his es-
cort to remain behind an embankment
height, where he stayed for another
hour, exposed to fire. He mounted
again and rode to another part Of the
field. General de Courson and Captain
de Trecesson were dangerously wound
ed by his side. but not bullet hit him.
The emperor at last seemed to despair
Of meeting his death as he sought it
and rode back to Sedan at noon. In
the town itself shells fell thick, and
while the emperor was riding with his
escort up the Grand Rue one burst
just in front of him. wounded one OF
the Cent Gardes and killed the horses
of two aids-de-camp. Napoleon III.
looked on stolidly, understanding, per
haps. that 1t was not his fate to die in
action. The story that he had two
horses killed under him is, therefore,
not correct. But there Is no doubt that
the unfortunate emperor, beaten and
i'll, pathetic and tragic figure, did de-
liberately seek death on the field to
escape the disgrace Of Sedan which he
foresaw.-Paris Letter.

HOLD CONFERENCE
President Roosevelt and Sec.
retaries Root and Bacon
Meet Sunday.
VENEZUELA THE TOPIC

Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 13.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Secretary Root
went in swimming Sunday after a
long conference regarding Venezuela's
affairs, in which Assistant Secretary
of State Bacon participated.
Early in the day Secretary Root
telephoned from Muldoon's that he
would like to consult the president
on some department matters and that
Assistant Secretary Bacon would be
with him. The president replied that
he would be glad to receive them
both at luncheon.
The president attended church, and
company of choir boys from Grace
Episcopal church. New York, who are
camping up On Center Island.
When the president returned to Sa-
gamore Hill he found Secretary Root
awaiting him. The secretary had
come across the Sound in a launch
Assistant Secretary Bacon was driven
over here in an automobile from his
home. in Westbury, L. l.
After luncheon the three drew their
chairs close together upon the presi-
dents veranda and talked earnestly
until o'clock. Then Mr.. Bacon start
ed for home and the president and
Secretary Root went in bathing to-
gether. They splashed about at a
great rate. The president is by far
the better swimmer, but he compli-
mented Mr.. Root upon his increasing
strength following his work at Null
doon's.
Thus far this summer the president
has had great freedom from the usual
summer visits of cranks. A few days
ago German managed to enter the
presidents grounds and bowed to the
president before his presence was dis
covered by the secret service men.
Today there was a man in town
who said he is a New York furrier,
with offices in Prince street He said
he had been commanded" to see the
president.
At another time he said he wished
to arrange for the sale of whatever
furs the president secured in Africa
He was induced to leave town with
out trouble.

Is Your Kitchen Clean?

Greasy floors and oilcloths can only
be cleaned properly by the use of pure
soap. The cheap yellow kind which is
filled with rosin, only makes a scum
over the dirt. Easy Task is different,
because it is made from borax. cocoa

dirt and leaves everything sweet, and

THE PEsT1FERoUs SILVER FISH.

One Of the most harmful agents in the
destruction of books in the tropics il
the silver fish, a little wingless insect
infesting wardrobes and pantries as well
as libraries. This most destructive
species may often be seen scurrying
away from a book suddenly opened.
1t has a large head, from which the
body tapers to a pointed tail, terminal
ing in three bristles. Its favorite food
is paste or glue, to obtain which it
destroys titles, labels, and heavily sized
paper, respecting only the parts that
are covered with ink. 1t may be caught
by cutting notchcs in the edge OF q
small box, and inverting the box on
plate containing paste spread on paper.
This trap should be placed in the dark
est corner Of the room. The insects en-
ter through the nOtches and are easily
surprised and destroyed at their ban
quet. Pyrethrum powder also destroys
or Supplies them, but perhaps the best
way to get rid of them is to move and
air the books frequently, and kill every

Water and Freezing.

Although water is supposed to freeze
at 80 degrees, you need not try to make
ice at that temperature. All you will
get in a tubfuI will be a thin outer
shell filed with very wet water. Sea
water freezes at 81 degrees nominally,
and the ice is always fresh. One of the
old and very common beliefs Is that
hot water freezes more quickly than
cold. This Is nature fake. Another
false belief Is that Impurities are
frozen out Of the ice. yet we all ought
to know that some ice is SO impure that
its water Is dangerous to drink. Most
people will insist that 1t is the thawing
Of ice in frozen pipes that bursts them.
Wrong. The freezing does the bursting;
the thaw exposes the damage.

NOT IN A HURRY.
A Royal Funeral and an Embarrassed
Blundering Official.


The Comtesse de Boigne's memoirs
contain an interesting account of the
departure from life of Louis XVIII,
an event which the king himself had
long been anticipating:
HE was great stickler for eti-
quette and gave the most minute in
structions about his obsequies. All
the ceremonials observed at the de-
parture Of the kings of France were to
be respected, and as he had an ex-
traordinary memory he settled the
procedure down to the smallest details.
At the last the royal almoner made q
mistake In reading the prayers for
those In extremis. Louis XVIII. inter
rupted him and corrected the mistake
with a presence of mind and calmness
which never left him for a moment.
The family was assembled at the end
Of the room and was deeply Affected
The doctors, the attendants ON duty
and the clergy were around the bed
The first gentleman of the chamber
held the curtain. When the chief
physician gave the sign that all was
over, he let 1t fall and, turning around
bowed to the princes. Monsieur left
the room sobbing, and madame pre-
pared to follow him. Hitherto she had
always taken precedence of her hus-
band as the kings daughter. When
she reached the door, she suddenly
stopped, and through the heartfelt
tears with which her face was stream
ing she said with difficulty, Take pre-
cedence, Dauphinp He Immediately
obeyed without any hesitation or re-
mark. The first gentleman announced

king and Charles x. reached bis
