Napoleon had been living in the Tri-

chateau but decided that he was
cramped there and that he would reign
at the huge palace in a splendor not
second to that with which Louis XIV
had filled it. SO he sent orders to the
silk and velvet merchants of Lyons for
immense quantities of costly fabrics
for hangings, upholstering, and so forth.
The idea was a trifle too late. The
war with Russia came soon, and the
next two years were spent on hum

The Work of the Life Savers.

Again comes the annual report of
the national life saving service, that
useful government department OF
which a Maine man, Sumner !. Kim
ball. has long been the head. Under
Superintendent Kimball there are enl-
ployed about 1000 of Uncle Sans most
faithful servants, a heroic little army
of which each member is frequently
called upon to risk his life to save the
lives and property of others They
are stationed at $50 places along the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts and upon
the shores of the Great Lakes.
The report for 1908 shows that dur
ing the year the service cost about
s., 900 900, while it saved an unknown
number Of human lives and about $12,-
100000 worth of shipping property.
During the year there were disasters

persons. Of this number only 16 lives
were lost Had there been no life say

along our coasts where these vessels
were wrecked cr found themselves In
distress, the loss of life would. with
cut doubt, have gone into the hun
dreds
The $50 vessels, with their cargoes,
were worth S13,55O,a25, and of this only
81, Se3, 100 was lost. In this as in the
case of the human lives 1t is only pos
sible to guess what the loss would
have been had it not been for the life
saving stations, but no doubt it would
have been a much larger share of the
total In addition to the disasters To
these 3S6 large craft there were many
minor mishaps to sailboats, rowboars
and launches, where the life savers

Prompt Aid for italy.

From all parts of the world relief is
pouring in upon stricken Italy and it
is gratifying to note that our own
country is far in the lead of all others,
both in the amount of its contribu-
tions and in the promptness with which
the contributions have been made eff

~, and the dire necessities of the sur
vivors in the earthquake zone are very
pressing and immediate. In the face
of such great catastrophe. involving
the loss of unknown thousands of lives,
the destruction of great cities and the
dcsolation of provinces. national
boundary lines are forgotten and THE
h, arts of people everywhere beat as
one in sympathy and in zeal to render
assistance.
1t is appropriate enough that rich and
prosperous America should take the
lead in this relief work. even though
ar OCEAN lies between it and the al
flictcd land. 1t has been the same
when similar catastrophies have oc-
Cured elsewhere, and it is gratifying
to note the appreciation on the part
of Italy for the promptness with which
American help is being sent. Through
the government, through private
agencies and through the Red Cross
relief is being extended and everything
possible done to relieve the needs OF
the living. care for the dead and bring
order out of chaos in southern Italy
and in Sicily.
The action of President Roosevelt in
sending two supply ships to Italy is
applauded by the whole country and nc
one is likely to raise objection to his
act on the ground that it was lacking
in legal authority. These two supply
ships were loaded with cargoes for the
fleet. but the fleet is not in any great
need for the supplies while the need
of Italy is great indeed. The esti-
mated value of the cargoes is s30o0Ot
and no doubt Congress will promptly
endorse the Presidents action which
will be equivalent to national con-
tribution of this sum.

Just Keep Sweet-and Sing.

If things don't go to suit you.
What use to froWn and sigh?
You can't frown back the sunshine
That's missing from the sky,
Nor frOWn away the winter
In wishing it were spring.
The wisest thing to do. my. friend,
Is just keep sWeet-and sing.
A song will make ones burden
Seem lighter. while sigh
Adds to the load we carry.
We can't tell how. or why,
We only know it does it.
And that the Tilt and swing
OF cheerful song makes happy heart;
So just keep sweet-and sing
Don't fret. and fume, and worry,
And make things worse, say l,
Since we can't help what's happened;
SO laugh away the sigh,
And trust that on the morrow
The clouds will all take wing,
Believing God knows what is best;
SO just keep SWect-and sing!
