Mrs. James Taylor is seriously ill EHer sister, Mrs. Fisher, is with her. ! Jessie Enc and wife drove up from
 Mansfield Center to attend the church services Sunday afternoon.
 MT. and Mrs Darrow attended the annual meeting of the Willimantic Y. P. S. c. E. Union at Mansfield Center, Saturday, where very fine program was we'll carried out.
 News was received by F. w. Pratt, secretary of the Cemetery association, Monday morning of the death of Miss Lsa bella Merrick, native and long resident of the town. The burial will be in the family plot in the old Hill cemetery this Wednesday fore noon.
 The funeral of Mrs. Sarah Brown irons was held at her late home in Orcutts, Saturday. Burial was in Willingron, the Irons plot in West cemetery here. The auto ambulance demolished in Manchester Saturday morning was on it's way to that flu : neral. The undertaken came in an automobile with flowers that had been ordered.
 The state has an auto truck at West Willington, run by Arthur Devereaux that is in use to facilitate the state road work. In looking it over on it's arrival, County Road Inspector F. W. Pratt in alighting made a miscalcula- tion and had bad fall which happily he is suffering the discomforts of vari- ous sprains and contusions.
 Our copy of the late Rev. Theron Browns "Under the Mulberry Tree'' was returned few days since with an appreciative note saying that the neighbors gathered in long winter evenings at Joseph Dimock's and listened as the old time story of real happenings in Willington and Vest ford was read aloud, and greatly en- joyed. The information spoke well for the book, the neighborhood and the intelligent and hospitable host and hostess.
 The response to the "Everyone-at- uhurch'' Sunday invitation was quite general and the result most satisfac- tory, as there were but few vacant seats in the church. There were 87 present at Sunday school and the full attendance for the afternoon consider able over 200. As usual some of the little people left before the preach ing service. The floral decorations were lovely, the cactus, with seven large blossoms, brought by Mrs. G. V. Smith being much admired. Pastor Darrow's convincing and effective sermon was from Acts 16: 3O-31 The music by the orchestra with F. Tyler at the piano - the stringed instru- ments of Miss Dunning, Misses Church and Lips and Floyd Ayers and the trombone by Clarence was very fine. The duetts by MT. and Mrs. Darrow was greatly appreciated and as always, the choir and congregational singing very inspiring MT. Darrow read letter of appreciation from Rev. and Mrs. Adoly Yukl to the members of the federated churches with good byes and good wishes, and Church Clerk Mrs. F. w. Pratt read a letter that had been prepared expressive of the affection and esteem in which these conseorated workers and their beauti- full children are held and the prayers and best wishes that follow them as they leave this week for their new field in Pittsburg, Penn. By motion of Dea. Pratt, seconded by Dea. Marsh, this was made the unanimous voice of the churches and was so voted. Notices for the week embraced the prayer meeting Thursday evening

Mt. ochepetuck Notes.

The forest fire of week ago last Sunday referred to in last weeks is- sue, illustrates the value of the fire lookout. The fire was sighted from the bungalow at 9.15 a. m. It had probably been started by fishermen on a stream just before. It was To- cated almost exactly in the south of Eastford, and Warden Buell. was noti- fled. He started at once gathering men and fought the fire all day. Be- ing very dry it spread over some 400 acres before being finally subdued, but was kept from some lumber re- gently sawed. On the same day sev- en other fires were sighted and the different wardens notified.

Bring Back Sunday

Another and generally welcome effect of the Concordat was the restoration of Sunday. Sunday had been abolished by the republican calendar, which pro- vided in its place day of rest each 10th day. Some wit had proved the folly of that attempt to change the settled habits of mankind when he said the republican calendar would have to fight two enemies who never yield, the beard and the shirt" for 10 days was too long to wait for the weekly shave and change of linen.
 While Napoleon was willing to bring back Sunday, he objected to the revival of the feast days of the church and said, "A saints day is day of idleness, and I do not wish for that. People must labor in order to live. I shall consent to four holidays during the year, but no more"
 Letizia was the happiest of the Bonapartes at the thought of the return to mother church. Now I need not box your ears,' she said to Napoleon. "as I used to in order to make you go to mass" No" the son replied. Tt is my turn now to box yours'-and he gave his mother love tap. He had not for gotten her half-brather in his nego- tiations with the church. the uncle who taught him the alphabet; Joseph Fesch having re-entered ecclesiastical life, was to be archbishop of Lyons and a cardinal.

The COncOrdat

After he had brought the nations Of continental Europe to recognize the re- public, Pope Plus VII adopted their ex- ample, although when he was elected at Venice in succession to Plus VT, who died a captive of France, he had recog- nized Louis XVIII, the Bourbon pre- tender, as the only true sovereign of the French. At the invitation of the first consul, the papal secretary of state. Cardinal Consalvi, came to Paris, and the celebrated Concordant was drawn up, treaty destined to con tinue in force through all the vicissi- tudes of a century. once, when the ne- gotiations were threatened, Napoleon warned the cardinal, You know, when one can't come to terms with the Lord, he malleg terms with the devil"
 By the terms of the Concordat the Catholic religion was recognized as the religion, not of the state. but of a great majority of the people and of the con suls. On the other hand, the church consented to reduce it's sees in France by more than one-half and permit the French government to nominate all bishops for the approval of the pope, while the bishops fin turn were to nomi- nate all priests for the approval of the government. In return for the church giving a quitclaim deed to the pur- chasers of the estates that had been taken away from it in the revolution. the government pledged itself to give the bishops and priests fitting main tenance

Napoleon in Council

He delivered no orations. Men who Write well and are eloquent" he con- tended. have no solidity of Judgment" :" He said he always defeated the elo- quent members of his council 'by this simple argument-two and two mak e four.' Yet he indulged in some brilliant Flights of imagination and often ex- pressed himself in clever aphorisms
 True liberty depends upon the se- curity of property was one of his savings while he said again that the law could not take note of everything, but in some cases "the legislator should hold his hands before his eyes" De- nouncing an extreme punishment for crime, he declared: You would do better to kill the man at once. Then his wife would be able to put up an altar in her garden and come there to weep over it." Again, 'the contagion of crime is like that of the plague. Criminals collected together corrupt each other; they are worse than ever when. at the termination of their pun ishment, they re-enter society"
 The vice of modern legislation is that 1t maKes no appeal to the imagina- tion. Unless you touch the inpagina tion you can't govern men, We have to look forward and provide for dis tant possibilities Who would have prophesied that the possession of the New World would decrease the popula- tion of Spain! Results do not immedi- ately follow their cause; they are the fruit of centuries-drops of water which in time hollow a block of gran ite"

Lore of the Sea

Some remarkable advice 70 seafarers is given in an old Portuguese book. pub lished for the guidance of mariners, says it deals with the rights Of captains to assault sailors, and the methods in which the attacks are to be legally met.
 The sailor is advised to bear calmly any verbal abuse that an Yrate skipper may hurl at him, but if words passed to blows he was to run away into tho bows and. firmly take his stand beside the anchor chain.
 should an infuriated master. armed with belaying pin or other lethal weapon, chase him to his stronghold the mariner was to slip round to the farther side of the chain. Should he still De pursued, he was to call his messmates to witness that the master had broken the rules by cir. oumventing the chain.
 Then. at last he was to defend him self-and let us hope he would do it well. Other little matters of discipline are set out. and they show a noble srort to make the punishment fit the crime.
 The ships clerk, a privileged person who acted as bookkeeper, rurser and car. go master. was liable to be branded in the forehead. to lose his rsght hand, and to forfeit all his property if he made a wrong entry in the ships eook, or con. nived at such an entry.
 A seaman who fell asleeI. on his watch was only put on diet of bread and wa ter unless the offense was committed in hostile waters. In that case he must bo stripred naked. logged by nis messmatcS and Gucked thrice in the sea.
 If he were an officer however, he would only lose all food except hfs bread. and have pail of water flung over him from the head downwards.

Yet this Titan did not really have great physical vigor He was seldom well, often in pain and generally walked up in the morning unrefreshed and depressed
 He was subject to dizziness, nervous spasms and fainting spells, which led to the suspicion that he was epileptic like Caesar Mahomet and some other great geniuses in history
 But he detested medicine Believe me- he insisted to a physician. "We had bet ter leave off all these remedies Life is q fortress which We know nothing about Why throw obstacles in the way of it's defense? Its own means are superior to all the apparatus of the laboratories. All your filthy mixtures are good for noth- ing. Medicine is a collection of uncertain prescriptions. the results of which taken collectively are more ratal than useful to mankind Water air and cleanliness are the chief articles in my pharmaco- pia."
 His strength lay in his mind rather than in his body. and his energy in his nerves rather than in his muscles When his mental and nervous organizations re- belled against his tyranny, he relapsed into sheer idleness for days together. He liked to lie for two hours in steam ing bath and keep turning on the hot water, until the secretary who sat by the tub reading to him could no longer see the print through the vapor that filled the room.
 Meneval says that in his idling moods he sometimes lolled about on the sofa or sat on the desk and even on the knee of his secretary, talking disiointedlv of his fancies, his plans. Again he read aloud or acclaimed poetry. He had fits of going through the palace singing and, Bourrienne exclaimed, God knows how badly he sang"

No Time to Dress or Eat

He did not take time properly to undress for bed but '.ore off his clothes and flung theni about the room, hat, watch and all. He did not stop even to bc shaved, but talked, read papers and kept on the move while under the razor oi Constant, his valet He held audiences while in the bathtub.
 His servants had to go into conference and agree upon measures for getting him correctly dressed for state occasions. He refused to pause for sittings to the great Canova, whom he had summoned from Italy, but obliged the sculptor to study him while he lunched.
 And he would not spare the time to eat. A glass of hot water, in which he squeezed d lemon, sufficed for his break fast. The table bored him, and his chef, never knowing when he would yield to the need of nourishment, kept his lunch con ready and waiting for him hour after hour, replacing the food in the oven as fast as it was cooked with a new sup ply. When he came at last he chose only one of nine or 10 dishes and ig- nored the rest. He hardly knew what he ate.
 Often when he had stayed only 10 min utes, even at dinner, he pushed his chair back and left the family and his guests at the table. Once when something troubled him. instead of springing up from the table, as usual he hurled it away from him, upsetting the dishes on the floor.
 When he wrote he did not take time to form the letters, but left half of them out of the longer words. He writes like a cat scratching holes in a sheet of paper,' his brother Joseph said, His thoughts outracea his quill, which he wiped on his white brooches, neces- sitating a fresh pair every morning. He insisted that "a man occupied with pub lie business cannot practice orthography. His ideas must flow faster than his hand can trace.'
 His dictation poured forth in a torrent, which brooked no interference and could not be turned back for the repetition of a sentence or a word. There was yet no short hand system, and to keep up with him his scribes had to invent one of their own. While he dictated he strode up and down the room like a caged lion. If he sat down his tire less hand hacked at the arm of his legs from his secretary's table and rocked it so hard the poor man had still greater difficulty in making his notes.

sisted the fury of the directory against the pope in his first Italian campaign and spared Rome. After the battle of Marengo he attended Te Deum in the Milan cathedral. regardless of "what the atheists of Paris may say" As first consul he determined to make peace with the papacy and bind the church to the republic. He bade his ambassador at Rome to treat the pope as if he had 2o0.oOO soldiers"
 All this was galling to the spirit of the revolutionists, for the republic and the pope had been engaged for years in a bitter warfare, and the Holy See had been active in the coalitions against France. "T found it more difficult" Napoleon said "to restore religion than to win battles"
 Already the church bells were heard after silence of years, and as Napo- leon was walking with Councillor Thi- baudeau in the garden of Malmaisou. he stopped and said: Listen to me: Last sunday l was walking here alone when l heard the church bells of Reuil l was moved by the sound, so strong is the power of early association. l said to myself, if such a man as I am can be affectedAin this way, how deep must be the impression on simple. be- 1evins souls. A nation must have religion. l do not be- lieve in any religion. but when it comes to speaking of God-and he pointed to the heavens--Who made all that?"
 All moral systems are fine" he said again but the gospel alone has shown a full and complete assemblage of the principles of morality, stripped of all absurdity. Do you wish to find the really sublime? Repeat the Lords prayer"
 But it was, of course. as statesman and not as an individual that he sought the reunion of the church with her "eldest daughter France" coldly argu- ing:
 Society cannot exist without ine- quality. of fortunes and inequality of fortunes cannot exist without religion. When a man is dying of hunger by the side of one who gormandizes, it is inn possible for him to agree to the diff ference unless there be some auth ority to say to him, God wills it so; there must be poor and rich in this world: but afterward and during eternity the division will be made otherwise" " He reduced religion to the same base use and gave it the same earthly economic motive when he said that il "prevents the rich f, om destroying the poor"

Capacity for Work

The infinite range of his interests and the tremendous display of his energies staged the imagination, and surpassed human capacity" in the words of Taine, his severest critic h. literature. while Emerson has said that "his achievement. of business was immense and enlarges the known powers of man.
 His ministers, overwhelmed by his in- structions and pumped dry by his ques- tioning, went from the Tuileries to their offices only to find on their desks dozen or more written inquiries from him. La- vallette said that he governed more in three years than Kings in 100 years"
 He boasted that he took more pleasure iu reading official reports than any young girl does in novel," He got up at in the morning to study army reports while stretched on his sofa before the fire-and detected 20 mistakes in them.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-03-22
His Ideas on Marriage

His views of marriage and divorce do not disclose him feminist: "As to the legal age for marrying, I see less inconvenience in fixing the age of a man at 15 than that of woman at 8. for what sort of child would girl of that age be likely to bear? You quote the Jews: at Jerusalem a girl is ready for marriage at 10. growing old at IS and impossible at 20. To my thinking 1t would be desirable to forbid men to marry before they are 20, women before they are 1S.'
 "It would be good thing not to al low two persons to marry until they have known each other for six months. Your clause is immoral. You look at
