The author of Miss Selma Lue" has
provided the Mother Mayberry Of this
new story Of hers with an abundant fund
OF genuine and helpful simple philoso-
phy. which stands her in as good stead,
and comes in as aptly. when she ap-
proaches the great questions OF life as
they present themselves In her quiet lit
tie Tennessee neighborhood. as when she
discourses entertainingly on the mater
nal instinct in brooding hens. As for
courtship and marriage and the conduct
of daily life. she always is ready with
a bit OF wisdom. as she is capable of
gently managing the affairs of her son,
the young doctor. or the girl who has
lost her voice. The young doctor. by
the way. enjoys the confidence Of the
government. for II has charged him with
an investigation OF the local appearance
OF pellagra, but the squire knows better

LESS INFANTILE PARALYSIS
Only Sixteen Gases in Greater
City Since November /.

Only sixteen cases Of infant.le PARALYSIS
have been reported To the Health Depart-
ment from all horouchs OF the city since
November J. 100. WREN the malady Was
made a rcportarle orc bv tho Board Of
Health. Two Of these We're in Manhattan.
The insignificant number hears out tho
statements OF officials Of the dopartmcnt
some time ago. when il YVES said tuat New
York was at the time sgnaliy free from
the disease. which Seemed to be prevalent
in sections Of the New England States.
Commissioner Ioder!e made public yes
terday the report of the division Of COM
municable diseases, which has given special
attention to infantile paralysis. The re-
port. In part is as follows
Epidemics OF acute poliomyeltis have been
noted with increasing frequency I'M this
and other countries. It's infectious nature
has long been suspected. and in 1893 was
rendered almost certain by the production
OF the disease In monkeys by incubation
of the en- ilsifed spinal cord Of a child that
had died OF the disease. Studies made at
the Rockefeller institute have made this
proof stlll more conclusive.
The disease is characterized by "A sud-
den onset with fever. followed generally
within from twelve hours 20 three or four
days by general or localized paralysis. al
most always of naccid type, with reac-
ton OF degeneration and early atrophy In
the muscles permanently affected Paraly-
SIS is most common in one or both legs bat
may occur IN any part of the body. NomIt-
ing and conyulsions occur frequently at the
onset. but are not constant symptoms. More
significant are rcStlcssness and insomnia.
which occur early in most cases Pain and
tenderness, usually referred 10 as affecting
the joints ana muscles, were common in
the 1897 epidemic in New York city.
The period Of incubation varies widely,
being from two 10 thirty days. The average
appears To be seven TO ten days. Tho So
called abortive eases may act az carriers.
and there are also many authentic cases in
which the disease was in all probability
carried by a third person.
The duration OF the period Of infectivity
is unknown. which leaves the question of
isolation and quarantine unsettled.
special form OF card has been prepared
for the recording OF cases by the division
OF communicable diseases ana VIII soon be
in use Inspectors of the division have been
instructed To be particularly careful and
exact in obtaining information as To periods

AIN ENIGMATlC FACE
A Study of the Conflicting Por-
traits of Napoleon.
Paris. LanuarN Is.

Paris, January ~.
VI. Georges Ohnet, whose novels were
SO much in vogue some years ago, is get
ting to work again after long period Of
recreation. The author Of the "Maitre
de Forges." "Doctcur Rameau" and TN
Brasseur dAfaires." has earned the
reputation of being the historian OF the
contemporary French hourgeoisie, or in
dustrious middle class. He delights in
depicting the social struggles between
the nobility and the wealthy self-made
men of business. He is strong de-
scriptive writer, and his situations arc
replete with melodramatic intensity. NJ.
Ohnets latest novel. Pour Tuer Bona
parte: La L6sende ct rHistoire," is an
historical novel. in which the author
strives to strip Napoleon Of all legendary
myths and presents him exactly as he
was"
Alexandra Dumas used to say that
History was very useful because il
provided writer's OF romance with con-
venient nails upon which to hang pretty
pictures" NJ. Ohnet has collected all
the known portraits Of Napoleon. and
has comuared them. He deduces the
conclusion that no two Of Napoleons
portraits resemble ono another. He ap-
plies similar methods 10 historians. nov
clsts and dramatists. and finds that no
one really has we'll defined ideas of the
great Corsican. and that the legends are
so contradictory that his real character
and personality arc practically killed.
There is a great deal 70 be said 10 re-
fute this theory. especially after rea''"G
some OF the numerous personal rel mis-.
cences of Napoleon by men who Nnew
him and who were often with him More
over. that indefatigahlo "Napoleonist.'
NJ. Frederic Mason, Of the French
Academy. who has devoted his life 10
the biography Of his hero has achieved
the remarkable feat OF creating sort
of chronological life Of Napoleon, so that
one can ascertain what his occupations
were, not only on any given day, but al
most during every hour Of his life, from
the age Of tweuty-nine until death
In spite of all this. however, the truth
remains that the fine bust of Napoleon
by Houdon. in the Diion Museum. is to-
tally unlike the colossal statue 10y ca
nova at Milan, which represents Ma
poleon. naked. holding in his hand
statuettc Of victory. II may also be re-
membered that when Napoleon entered
Davids studio while the master was
painting the famous picture Of tho
Coronation Of the Emperor" now in tho
Louvre. he exclaimed: We'll done,
David, We'll done, That may not bc
exactly how I look but. at any rate, it
IS the way in which | want to appear"
