As Louis Napoleon was the first of new line of rulers, by what right did he assume the title Napoleon IiI.2
 The great Napoleon never styled him. self Napoleon l., nor was his son, the king of Rome, ever called Napoleon II. Kinglake, the British historian, gave 8 curious explanation of the origin of the title Napoleon III. He said that when Louis. Napoleon's adherents were manufacturing public sentiment to re ceiYe him a subseryient minister, who was preparing proclamation. wrote these words: ''The peoples cry will be 'Viye Napoleon!i? g The printer Mis- took the three exclama tion marks for three Ps, and the proclamation was so issued. This was considered good story when 1t was related, but it has lacked continuation.

THOMAS CLEARLY A HERO.

There came near being a drowning fatality at the Kossuth street dump last evening. Two Italian boys who daily haunt the dump in search of old rags, got into a wrang1e as to which had the best claim to a barrel floating off the dump. One of the youngsters, who was considerably stronger than the other, clutched the latter by the throat. and after tus- s1e threw him down the bank. Be- fore the victim could prevent it he rolled into the river.
 His cries attracted the atteRtion of several people who were passing and Thomas Cleary went to the lads as- sistance. The latter was sinking for the third time when MT. C1eary seized him. The other boy became fright ened when he saw his victim strug- gling in the water and ran off.

 h have beeen informed that there is an American flag with sioetesn stripes. Is this so7 And, if so, will you please give the reason7
 Yes, there is an American flag with sixteen stripes. The stripes, however, are arranged vertically, not horizon tally as in the regular ensign. The flag with sixteen stripes is the flag of the revenue cutter service. It has sixteen stripes because there were sixteen states in the Union in 1799, when the flag was adopted for the service, and the design has never been altered. The flag with the stripes running up and down instead of across and with thir- teen stars and an eagle in the union is a familiar sight in the principal American ports.
