DISTORTED HISTORY.

NapoIeon's Downfall as Recorded In a
Russian Textbook.
Reasons of church. state or other
policy have frequently caused the schol-
ars of one country to tamper with the
history III another with which 1t has
been intimately connected. A curious
instance of such a distortion of French
history was that found in Russian
textbook used in all Russian public
schools and edited by great Rus
sian scholar. Ilovaishi. The following
may he cited as an illustrations:
"I.ouis XVI. was good and peaceful
king. After long and famous reign
in which he was most happy in his
choice of minister of finance he died
quietly in Paris. beloved by all his
people. His death was caused by a
hemorrhage.
1.-THE successor of Louis XVI. was his
son. Louis XVII. During his reign the
brave royal army commanded by Gen
eral Napoleon Bonaparte captured the
larger part of the European continent
for the French crown. But the faith
less Napoleon showed tendencies to-
ward misusing his power and was sus-
pected of harboling dishonest schemes
against the legitimate ruler. With the
help Of his majesty the emperor and
autocrat of all the Russias. his plans
were frustrated. and he was deprived
of all his possessions. honors and rights
to pension. He was then exiled to
the island of St. Helena. where he
died."-Chicago Record Herald.

Tho Craze For Food That Seemed to
Strike>H Pet Customer.
J. Hayden Clarendon. eating his three
meals in a German grill of much re-
nown. has day after day extended
his acquaintanceship from the steward
to each Of the walters and from thence
into the kitchen to the cooks. And 1t
so happened awhile ago that one of
the cooks had to send his wife to
a hospital. Clarendon. ever thought
full. bought flowers and sent them out
to the kitchen to be forwarded thence
to the hospital.
This. of course. made him more than
solid with the culinary department Of
the big restaurant. with the result
that whenever waiter announced
that the order was "for Mr.. Claren-
don" the cooks would go the limit in
getting him the best steaks and chops
and serving them as works of art.
The walters weren't slow In learn
ing that the word clarendon" was
the passport to the kitchens best-the
open sesame. as it were.
So 1t happened that one afternoon a
waiter came into the kitchen with the
order:
''T-bone steak. rare. for Mr.. Claren-
dom
The man at the broiler threw up his
hands.
Whats come over Mr.. Clarendon?''
he asked in establishment. HE has
had two porterhouse steaks. boiled
salmon. ham and eggs. three oyster
stews. sand dabs. chops. and now he
wants T-bone steak-and all in an
hour!-San Francisco Chronicle.
