LOCK OF GRAF MANS HAIR
Old Watch Has Long Held interesting Relic of the Mighty Emperor
 Napoleon.

\ new Napoleon souvenir has just come to light at Viareggio, Italy, now fashionable seaside resort not far from Naples, and its history is inter- esting. A short time after her broth CTS death at LOngwOod, St. Helena, Princess Pauline, favorite sister of Napoleon I, sent a souvenir of the great warrior and emperor to one of her intimate friends, Professor Pacini, musician, who wrote the musical work "Sapho." But she sent it in a gold watch carefully pressed between the Watch's outer and inner covers, ex- plains writer in the New York World. AS the hair was so we'll hidden from view the princess wrote to the musi- cian telling him of the treasure that was inside.
 The letter, still preserved by his granddaughter, Francesca Franchi, born Pacini, is a long one, and for some reason or other the family, like the original recipient of the gift, never P bothered about the words, "The lock of my dear brothers hair is between the two covers of the watch" and only treasured the watch and the letter be- cause both came from Princess Pau line. So, great was Signora Franchts surprise when, on taking the watch to the matchmaker, she discovered glOs- sy lock of hair between the two covers. The letter from Pauline was carefully reread and the words telling of the lock of hair now become the most i'm pOrtant part of it, giving proof that the hair is a hitherto undiscovered relic of Napoleon.
 Several offers have been made for the relic and the letter which explains it, but SignOra Franchi says she will not part with it except the Italian government buys it for one of the na- tiOnal museums,

Tho Millennium

Millennium is a term applied in theology to the thousand years dur ing which Satan will be bound and the martyred saints live and reign with Christ - Revelations 20 :2-3. This long triumph is to be preceded by the decisive victory of Christ over the adversary, and followed by a general resurrection and the temper ary release of Satan: then comes the last judgment and the new heaven and new earth-Revelations % :21.
 Attempts to fix the date of the ad- vent, the second coming. the dawn of the millennium have been proved by lapse of time to have been failures, Some of the dates that, have been fixed for the beginning of the mIllen- nium have been 17S5,. by a man named Stilling; 1896, by BengeI; 1843, by Miller; 1866, 1867 and 1868, by Dr. Cumming.

A Widow at Mine

In the Seventeenth century, juvenile unions were of frequent occurrence. Wards in chancery were sometimes married at five years of age; and MOll Vilhars, daughter of the first duke of Buckingham, was not merely a wife but a widow before she was nine, and we read of her rOmpIng in the garden in her widows veil. In almost every instance, however, such marriages were in name only, and the little wives were allowed to reach their teens before taking up the burdens Of welded life.-LondOn Tit-Bits.
