EMPEROR FRIEND OF LOWLY

Napoleon 111 Declared to Have Had Genuine Regard.for the Humbler of His Subjects. i -

The friendly feeling of Napoleon m for the tollers is dwelt upon by Agnps Carey In her “An Empress In Exile,” in the Century magazine, and she gives as her authority Empress Eugenie, wife of the last of the emperors. “Whatever his failings toward her had been.” the author says, “she professed a warm admiration of his love of hard work, his pluek and his great kindness of heart and thoughtfulness for every one. The emperor genuinely loved the poor and humble his subjects, with no thought of policy. He was too good and generous for his people’s understanding. Had be been tyrannical and made use of them and trampled them down like some other sovereigns, they would, have behaved better toward him, she (Eugenie) said. “Napoleon was a dreamer and spent much of his time to the serious thinking out of schemes for the benefit of his people, and all mankind. His life’s ambition was to better their lot He had great magnetism, especially with the working classes. The empress charmed every stranger, hut the emperor was really more personally and deeply loved by his entourage than was hl? consort" No, Luke, you can’t convince a woman that any man who has proposed to herds a fool.

FAMOUS FRUMPS IN HISTORY

Proof That Feminine Beauty la Nat Always Necessary for the Acquisition of Fame. Beautiful women have their poets and their artist who do justice to their perfections, but some of the most famous women, either from their own or their husband’s talents or position, have been frumps, says London Answers. Mrs. Samuel Johnson was nearly twice the age of the celebrated sage of Fleet street; a widow, with several children as .old as the man she married. Lord Macaulay, in pis famous essay, says: “To ordinary spectators the lady appeared to be a short, fat,., coarse woman, painted half an inch thick, dressed in gaudy colors, and fond of exhibiting provincial airs and graces. But to Johnson his *Titty,’ as be called her, was the most beautiful, graceful and accomplished of her sex.” Caroline of Brunswick is thfr subject of one of . Romney’s most charming pictures. . Yet here Is a contemporary description of her from a diary printed many years after her “Her eyes projected like those of the royal family. She made her head large by , wearing an immense wig. She also painted her eyebrows, which gave her face a strange, fierce look. Her skin—and she showed a great deal —was very red. She wore very high-heeled shoes, so that she bent forward when she stood or walked. Her feet, and ankles were dreadful.” In the same diary appears a description of the famous Mme. de Stael, the most brilliant woman of her time: “Her face was that of a blackamoor attempted to be washed white. She wore a wig like a bunch of withered heather, and over that a turban, which looked as If it had been put on in the dark ; a short neck, and shoulders rising so much behind that they almost amounted to a hump.” Yet she had all the airs of a great beauty, and her salon was sought by all the wits and beaux. George Eliot, whose centenary has lately been kept, was an exceedingly plain woman. It was said that she had a massive head, but as a rule a massive head does not look very elegant on a slim, straight-down sort of figure. Besides, she cared nothing about dress, and would probably have been better content if, like Rosa Bonheur,, she could have got a special dispensation to “wear the trows.” Nevertheless, she was a most charming woman and a very good housewife. She’used to pride herself that she could turn from “Romola” to cookery.

That Biggest Gold Shipment

The Cunarder Aqultania arrived at New York the other day from Southampton, via Cherbourg, with the biggest shipment of gold ever carried on one steamship to this country. The gold bullion was packed in 884 wooden boxes clamped with iron bands and the value estimated at 18% million dollars in United States currency. On the voyage it was kept in the specje room under charge of the purser and the chief officer. The entrance to the specie room was guarded the entire trip and was watched by members of the crew and the company’s detectives from the pier until the gold was taken from the ship. The greater part of the specie goes to the Federal Reserve bank toward' the payment of Great Britain’s share of the Anglo-French loan due October 15. The largest shipment of gold previousfy carried on one vessel was 13% million dollars, taken on the North German Lloyd liner Cecilie in August, 1914, for England, but brought back to America when Capt. Charles Polack received warning by wireless that war was imminent

Future of the Helicopter.

It is by no means certain that the successful air craft of the future will be tbe familiar airplane or even the dirigible balloon. Some aerobeuttc experts believe That the commercial aircraft of the future will be some fun »of helicopter. Within a few days a noted Inventor, Peter Cooper Hewitt, hue succeeded in building a helicopter which has actually risen from the ground and carried a man along with it and flown for a distance of 100 yards. Small models of this form have been made in the past both in America and Europe, but this is believed to be the first which has actually carried a passenger. The first railroad locomotives and steamboats, it will be recalled, were built on very different principles than the models which finally were adopted, and it is within the range of possibilities that the same will prove true of -the flying craft A wonderful opportunity for invention is thus opened to our ingenuity.—Boys’ Life.

Put Technical Matters First

In order that its student body may get more time to devote to technical matters, the faculty of California Institute of Technology has eliminated modern languages from the required curricula of the engineering classes. Students maytake special courses In languors if they desire, but the hours that were formerly devoted to such subjects have been given to electriclty and kindred matters. English and currant topics will also be Insisted on more than previously. Tbe change was made after a consultation between the faculty and Frank B. Jewett, chief engineer of the Western Electric Company; John J. Carty, vice-president of the American Telegraph and Telephone Company, and ether prominent technical authorities.

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Never Suspect It Applicants for Insurance Of|en Rejected. Judging from reports from druggists Who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there m one preparation that has been very successful in overcoming these conditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success. An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview on the subject, made the astonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are tejeeted is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people,- and the large majority of those whose applications are declined do net even suspect that they have the disease. It is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium'and large. a However, if you wish first to tert this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer A Co., Binghamton, N.
