NAPoLEoNs GIRL SCHOOL.

Some time since there came to
light an old manuscript of Napoleon,
the First, setting forth his views in
regard to a girls school which he
had established. His ideas are well
worth reading and considering, both
for their intrinsic merit and the repu-
tation of their author. We subjoin
some quotations taken from it:
What will be taught to the young
ladies who will be educated at
Ecouen? You must first begin with
religion in all it's severity. Admit of
no modification on this point. Re-
ligion is an important affair in a pub
lie institution for young girls. What
ever may be said to the contrary, it
remains, the surest guarantee for
mothers and for husbands. Teach
the girls to believe and not to rea-
SON.
1t is my desire that there should
come out of this establishment not
very accomplished women but very
virtuous women. l want their at
fractions to be in their conduct and
in their goodness, and not in brilli-
ancy or amusement. Consequently
there. must be at Ecouen a director,
a. man Of intelligence, of ripe years,
and good morals Each day the
pupils should say their regular pray
ers, should hear Mass, and receive
lessons in their catechism. This
should be the most important por-
ton, of their education.
They should be made to accustom
themselves to economy and to cal
culate the value of things. But, in
general, they should all be occupied
during three.Quarters of the day with
needlework. They should know how
to make stockings, underclothing, and
work embroidery. In a word, they
should learn all the work that belongs
to a woman. {
A young, woman, in coming out of
Ecouen to take her place at the head
of a little household, should know
how to make up her dresses, mend the
clothes of her husband, make the
baby linen for her children, procure
dainties for her little family by
means of the pantry portion of her
household duties, care for her hus-
band and children whenever they are
sick, and know how to do it like a
trained nurse. All this is SO simple
and SO trivial that it does not require
much reflection.
Their apartments should, be fur
nished with the work of their own
hands. They should make their own
underclothing, their. stockings, their
dresses, and their coiffures. All that
is great affair in my opinion. l
want to make these young girls use.
full women, because am certain that
in this way shall, make them charm
ing. They will know how to dress
themselves when they make their own
clothes, and consequently they will
dress themselves with taste.
Dancing is necessary for the
health of the pupils, but the dance
should be lively and not a dance
d'opera. | grant music also. but
vocal music only.
If the objection is made that the
establishment will not be much in
vogue, my answer is that that is pre-.
cisely what I want. because, in my
opinion, of all educations the best is
that of mothers, and my principal in.
tention is to come to the rescue OF
those young girls who have lost their
mothers or whose parents are poor.

YOUR BEST IS AFTER FORTY.

There has. been a lot of talk-far
too much and far too incorrect, ac-
cOrding to medical authorities-to the
effect that this is the young mans
era" It is not. And DR.. c. II.
Brown and others have compiled lists
to prove It.
Osler was once reported as saying
that a man was back number after
so. Many concerns will not hire
laan who is over 40. In other words,
it has been of late the fashion TO con-
slider a man has been" when he
began to near the half-century mark
His years of training, his acquired
wisdom and his ripe experience were
supposed to render him worthless. As
sensibly say that the longer and more
perfectly pugilist trains his muscles
the less fit he is to fight and the
poorer his chances against green,
unscientiic schoolboy. Here are a
few-a very few-of the million in
stances which go to show that a man
is at his best between the ages of 40
and 65.
]. P. Morgan did his greatest work
after IS. Commodore Vanderbilt
rolled up an extra $1O0,000,000 and
increased by eightfold the mileage OF
his railroads after he was 70.
Gladstone at 83 became once more
prime minister of England. and John
Quincy Adams and Thomas Jefferson
were at their political prime of intel
lect between 20 and go
George F. Baer and John Wanna
maker-both past 70-control vast
interest. Col. G. W. Goethals of
Panama canal fame has done his best
work since so.
Gen. Grant at 80 was considered a
failure in life. He had made sue
cess of nothing and could hardly sup
port his family. Between the ages of
40 and SO he rose to world greatness.
A similar tale of rise to fame after
the age of 40 may be told of Robert
E. Lee. George Washington was 43
when he began his fight to free our
country.
And, by the way, the youngest
president of the United States was 40
when he was inaugurated, and with
Eve exceptions all the rest were be.
tween so and 65.
Thomas A. Edison at 20 is at the
zenith of his fame If, at 40, he had
been shelved as a back number Ito
make way for some younger and al
legedly smarter and more up-to-date
mani the world would have been in
finitely poorer. Other tremendously
busy men of about the same age are
Arthur j. Balfour, Alexander Graham
Bell of telephone fame, Justice La
mar, Senator Tillman, Champ Clark,
Senator Lodge, Pierre Lott, the Duke
of Connaught and President Schur-
man of Cornell
The worlds greatest writer's, must
clans and actors have practically all
done their best work after 40.
In this era of young men, too, there
are thousands of young men working
with scarce a chance of winning
similar Succession such hustling old
timers as Andrew Carnegie and John
D. Rockefeller.
Look in the big jobs almost every
where-the jobs that can be filled by
none but the biggest men-and you
will find the boss is nearer 60 than 40.
He is there because he belongs there.
Because no young man is able to
tackle that mighty job.
