War of Words Over Napoleon's Bed

In the war over the authenticity of the
Bed of Napoleon presented by Edmund
Tuck to the museum at Malmaison, pow
erful reinforcements have just been
brought to the American side by Fred
erick Mason, the famous historian of
Bonanarte.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. and Mrs
Edmund Tuck and their niece, Mrs. Elsie
French Vanderbilt, presented many Ma
poleonic relics to the Chateau Malmai-
son, where the Empress Josephine died,
among them being Napoleon's bed. The
Princess Marat. who claims to be de-
scendant of Marshal Ney, violently ques-
tions the authenticity of the bed In her
attack she referred contemptuously to Ed

to fly from the royal house of the two
Sfcilies. This same granduncle married
an American, Miss Caroline Dudley. The
grandmother of the present Prince Murat,
husband of the warning princess. was ais o
| an American, Miss Gecrgiana Fraser.
Hence. says the historian, If the fighting
princeSs finds fault with Mr. and Mrs.
Edmund Tuck and Mrs. Elsie French
Vanderbilt for being Americans, similar
censure applies to her husbands family.
Then Historian Mason pulverizes the
princess by tracing the passage of the bed
on which Napoleon died at ST Helena to
Jerome Bonapartc, the whilom King of
Westphalia, until it reached the hands of
Edmund Tuck.

George H. Earle, the Philadelphia

Peter Brown was a Conshohocken
grocer. He was delivering some gro-
ceries IN his wagon one morning
when he ran down and badly injured
an old lady. The old lady sued him
and got big damages. A few months
later Brown was on his rounds again
when he ran down and crippled an
old man. The man also sued, and so
large were the damages awarded him
by generous jury that poor Brown
found himself actually on the verge
of ruin.
"One morning about this time
Browns young son rushed into the
shop in great excitement. 'Father!'
he cried, Father! mothers been run

Hops can be grown generally
throughout the United States, but at
present they are grown almost en-,
tirely in Oregon, California. New
York and Washington.
A mild climate and abundant rain
fall early in the spring, followed by
warm, dry weather, are ideal ccndi
tions for the plant
Hops require rich alluvial soils, OF
deep sandy or gravelly loans The
best method of growing hop vines is
from root-cuttings. Sometimes these
cuttings are propagated in nurseries
and set out when a year old The
price Of the roots ranges from $100 ia
$1,000 per thousand, according to the
yield of the crop.
The vines are set in rows and are
trained to run on trellises made OF
wire or wooden Stats. The posts fol
the trellises are about 20 feet lone
and set about feet in the ground
The trellises alone cost about SIS
per acre.
Hops are picked by hand and cured
by drying with artificial heat They
must be dried soon after they are
picked, otherwise they suffer from oxi
dation or heating.

THE HAPPY MAN.
Mrs. Browning.

Apropos of the jubilee of the death
of Mrs. Browning, it is not generally
known that the event occasioned one
of the tenderest things her husband

night before she died, and wrote OF
her passing in a letter of infinite pa

heart will keep till l see her again.
and longer-the most perfect express
sion of her love to me within my
knowledge of her. Always smiling and
with face like girls; and in a
few minutes she died in my arms, her
head on my cheek. There was
no lingering or acute pain, nor con-
sciousness of separation. God took
her to himself as you would lift a
sleeping child from dark, uneasy bed
into your arms and the light
