NAPOLEON III. IN AMERICA
Real Louis Was Not as DllaPldated as
He Has Been Pictured by
Mark Twain.

Probably no written portrait OF the
third Napoleon Is better known to
Americans than that embodied in the
rhetorical apostrophe of Mark Twain
In 1.-THE Innocents Abroad" where he
contrasts the emperor of the French
and the sultan of Turkey at their
meeting in Paris in 1857. 1t was
thought very fine and stirring at the
time, but it is picture to provoke
curiosity and amusement today. Mark
Twain described how the future em-
peror carried his dreams with him
into exile, how he associated with the
common herd in America, and ran foot
races for a wager how he walked his
weary beat a common policeman OF
London. That he carried his dreams
into exile, that his belief IN his star
never wavered, is unquestionably true.
But it Is not quite so romantic
figure, not such dilapidated a Louis
Napoleon, that we see in the accounts
of more careful historians than Mark
Twain. For example, there is "1nti-
mate Memoirs of Napoleon ILL.," by the
late Baron dAmbes. D'Ambes was not
with Louis Napoleon in America, but
1t was from the princes own lips that
he claimed he received the impress
sions of that visit. Louis Napoleon
came to Norfolk, Va, from Rio de
Janeiro on the frigate Andromede.
The commander, Henri de Villeneuve,
was very kind to the exile, and the
prince thanked him with the words
You are obliging man who will one
day be emperor of the French, un-
fortunate as he may appear at pres
ent. I shall not forget you" The
Andromede arrived at Norfolk March
80, 1887. The prince proceeded
straight to New York and dined at
Gen. Watson Webb's, where he found
General Scott, his two brothers-in-law,
the Stewards, and number Of soma
tors and statesmen.

Made First Lightning Rod.

Nearly everybody believes that Ben
iamin Franklin was the inventor and
constructor of the first lightning rod.
In this particular they are mistaken.
as the first lightning catcher was in
vented by a poor monk of Bohemia.
who put up the first lightning rod on
the palace of the curator of Preditz,
Moravia, June Is, 1854. The apparatus
was composed Of pole surmounted
by an iron rod, supporting IL curved
branches and terminating in as many
metallic boxes filled with iron ore.
The entire system Of wires was uni.
ted to the earth by a large chain. The
enemies of the inventor, jealous of his
success, excited the peasants of the To-
cality against him and under the pre-
text that his lightning rod was the
cause of the excessive dry weather
had the rod taken down and the In
ventor imprisoned.

Value of Travel.

Goethe says that no man has q
right to write until he has travelled
and lived. Certainly no one has a
right to think he knows what life
offers or what earth can give until he
travels.
Travel does more toward letting US
eo free Of our human limitations than
anything else in life. 1t frees us by
giving us large views, wide sense
cf opportunity, fuller comprehension
CT the lavish hand which has strewn
teauty over the earth.
Above all, travel numbs grief be-
cause it lifts US from the personal in
to the universal life, the life trium-
rhant, whatever be the fate Of the
fragment called ones self.-Harper's 8

Two Systems Compared.

A government, says writer In the
Twentieth Century Magazine, which
tells you how to carry your umbrella.
which forbids ladies who wear long
hatpins to enter railway trains, which
fines you If you throw cigar stubs or
papers on the street, which does not
permit your children to make noise
so that others are disturbed-such a
government does restrict individual
liberty, but just as certainly 1t en-
larges the common liberties and pleas
ure of everybody. The government
thus eulogized is that Of Germany,
which the writer quoted prefers to our
"go-as-you-please" system.

GLENDALE

The Baptist church of Glendale was completely destroyed by fire on Satur- day afternoon about four o'clock. The origin of the fire is unknown, hut it is thought that some matches were left lying in front of one of the windows, and that the sun shining through the glass ignited the matches. Some of the ladies had been clean
 ing the church in the morning, and they do not remember seeing any matches there, but as no one was in the church at the time the fire started this is the only idea that has been advanced. When the fire was discovered by Miss Hotchkiss, who lives nearby. she immediately ran to the phone and turned in the alarm, but even then it was too far gone to hope to save the church and the firemen's efforts were turned to MT.

WONDERFUL DRUG THAT STIMULATES
 GROWTH OF HAIR
And Revives Pigment forming Cells
 That Give Hair it's Natural Color.

Hardly any of us are entirely free from dandruff or other scalp affections. Millions of us. so long as the trouble is slight, do little or nothing to cure the affection. Other millions are try ing to do something, but getting no results, by applying all sorts of fancy cOlored and fancy named hair "tonics.' You are not likely to get much benefit, if any, by using any preparation that does not contain the one known drug that positively stimulates the growth of hair. The safe and sure way is to mix your own tonic or go to a reliable druggist and have him mix it for you. Here is a simple formula: oZ. Ordin
 ary Bay Rum; oz. ordinary Lavona de Composee; F drachm Menthoi Crystals. If you choose. add 1 drachm of your favorite perfume. Apply to the scalp with finger tips, night and morn ing, to destroy dandruff, to stop fall ing hair, to cleanse and beautify the hair, and to stimulate the growth of the hair This treatment is recommended to stimulate the growth of the hair even in cases of complete badness. If your hair is prematurely gray. try it and see if it will not make the pig ment-forming cells active enough to completely restore the natural color. cial coloring matter but is designed to make nature produce the natural color
 in the natural way. Any druggist can supply you with the ingredients or mix the tonic for you.-Advertisement.
