A striking incident in the career of Capoleon is described by Camille Co ruand inbis Look. -a -,tour de l'Isle lElbe" ("The Return From the Island if Elba"). It describes how he met the !rst opposition offered to his march to >arls after his escape from Elba: "Meanwhile Napoleon had traveled y the Alps to Dauphine, advancing ato the Interior of the country. Har ag received Information on Sunday. be 4th of March. the prefect of 'Isere had immediately. In concert sith the military authority, taken neasures to deal with the startling s!t mtion. A detachment composed of a >attallon of the Fifth regiment of the Ine and two cor'npanies of engineers ras dispatched to prevent the further Ldvance of the emperor. "The meeting between this detach neat and the little troop from the Isle 4f Elba took place on the 7th of darch near Vizille, but not before the ensants had had time to hasten to in 'orm Napoleon of the antagonistic dis >osition of the officers commanding he troops which had been sent from xrenoble. In order to avold the shed Ling of blood the emperor ordered ambronne. who was accompanied by t small escort, to enter Into treaty ith the cocardes blanches (white mvekades). Cambronne found the de achment ranged In order of battle. lChe commanding officer refused to en :er Into communication. and the sol Liers remained silent and gloomy. "Napoleon immediately took his share In the proceedings He gave the >rder to his grenadiers to put their -ifes under their arms, In order to ;ve proof of their pacific disposItions. Mben he advanced alone. while some if his friends cried to the soldiers of he : "' s do not fire! There is the r, who wishes to speak to you.' .oleon now found himself about hirty meters frorm the Grenoble de acbment. He dismounted and, his arms crossed on his breast, remained andlc In the middle of the road. "Soldiers of the Fifth,' he said in a oud tone-'soldiers of the Fifth, do ron recognize me? "'Yes. yes!' they all replied. "Then Napoleon. throwing open his ray cloak with a dramatic gesture md pointing to his breast with his ands, replied: "If there Is one among you who wishes to kill his general, his emperor. ie can do It. Here I am!' "The response was unanimous, sub lme: 'Long live- the emperor! In lye the emperor!' "Breaking the ranks, their shakos at he ends of the swords or on the bayo aets, the soldiers of the Fifth, to whom were joined the engineers, ran toward Sapoleon, surrounded him. embraced hm, kissed his hands, culled him their reserrer. their father, their generaL. :heir emperor. Finally the two de |achmnents mingled together and be mme consolidated. Napoleon then had 2.000 men with whom to march on to arenoble. "They took the road, and It was a riumphal march. The people or the listrict came to meet the colun, ac laiming Napoleon as the liberator of he nation and as the living incana ion of the revolution. "The peasants wept with joy. At his sight the emperor, turning toward is officers. Droudt and Bertrand. said to them : "'Everything is now in good order. Within ten days we shall be at the rulleres!'" UTTLE RED SPOT.

A Pathetic Incident In the Life of Rob- of ert Brownuing. so A young American woman was trav- uS eling one day in an Italian railway lo: coach, the only other occupant of the It compartment being an elderly gentle- p man. Observing the interest of the y( young woman in the country through w which they were passing :nd seeing at also that It was new to her. the more of experienced traveler pointed out ob- b 3ects and places of note. w From scenery the conversation drift- a ed to books and authors, until some- sr thing suggested to the young Amern- ih i can one of Elizabeth Barrett Brown- m ings sonnets, which she quoted. tr She was astonished and abashed be- tt cause the grtlenan made no reply. s but during the rest of the ride sat look- d, ing Intently out of the window. har- cc hxg apparently forgotten the very ex- st Istence of his traveling companion.

L h A CURIOUS ANIMAL The Sea Cucumber Can Part with and Replace Its Organs' h Among the curious animals which In- b habit the sea we may take the holo- : thuria, or sea cucumber, so called from t! Its resemblance to the cucumber. When this animal Is attacked by an it enemy it does not stand up and fight. j but by a sudden movement it ejects its teeth, stomach, digestive apparatus- d and nearly all Its intestines and then shrivels its body up to almost nothing. a When, however, the danger is past _ the animal commences to replace the organs which It has voluntarily parted with, and in a short time the animal Is as perfect as ever it was. Dr. Johnstone kept one in water for P a long time, and one day he forgot to a change the water. The creature in 1 consequence ejected Its intestines and If shriveled up, but when the water was f changed all its organs were repro- n duced. Although the animal is not eaten in Europe, It is a favorite with n the Chinese, and the fishing forms an u Important part of the industry of the t4 east. Thousands of junks are annual ly used in fishing for trepang. as the animals are called.-London Tit-Bits. tg b Cows That Never Drink. "The "wild cow" of Arabia, in reality t1 an antelope, the Beatrix oryx, is said t never to drink. which is probably cor rect, for unless these animals can de scend the wells they can find no drink lug water for ten months in the year.

His treatment of the subject E was Interesting, the utterance ofa man who k-new the art of which he spoke. But the most interesting parte of the hour came after the completion ai of the formal address, when an oppor tunity was given to the audience to ask any questious they wished of Mr.' Jefferson. Soon the familiar topic was a introduced. the effect of the modern elaboration and realism in stage set- V ting. Mr. Jefferson at once rose to the' question. He spoke somewhat rapldly. with a quaint humor and sympathetica charm that were irresistible. He char acterized the modern fashion of stage t setting as "a tribute to the weakness of the human imagination." "I am of ten asked." he went on. "why I do not have a real dog Schneider. But if I did I) none of you would be satisfied. Yott sould go home saying. 'Well. Schel der never looked like that dog!' You1 love Schneider because you have made him out of a piece of your own heart. And then." medItatIvely. "if I had a real Schneider some one in the gallery t would probably whistle to him at the critical moment. and he would bark I and spoil the play, while if be knew 1 his part perfectly and did just what! Schneider ought to do"-pausing and with his delightful smile--Schneider would be the hero and not Rlip!" Then.1 with a twinkle of the eye, he summeds up the whole matter with the quiet re- t mark, "Realism with a tail to wag in the wrong place Is a dangerous thing."! -New York Post IF WOMEN ONLY KNEW What a Beap of Happiness it Would Brirg to Manning Homen.

While Robert Browning and his son Barrett were living alone In Florence the son gave one afternoon an exhibi tion of his new paintings in the family drawing room. To 3r. Drowrlng was assigned the task of meeting the guests. Late in the afternoon. when the room was well filled. there appeared: at the drawing room door a woman: whose face was familiar. Yet Mr. Browning could not recall her name. and he judged from her appearance that she was not an invited guest. There was embarrassment on both sides for a moment. and then the wo man said eagerly: -Oh. please. Mr. Browning. I'm the cook. Mr. Barrett said as I was to come and see his pret ty pictur's." Whereupon Mr. Browning. offering his arm. showed her about the room with all the attention that he could have bestowed upon a reigning queen. The Rat and the Bulbs. According to the French naturalist De Parrille. a gardener planted one afternoon 250 tulip bulbs on a terrace. and next morning he noticed that the ground had been disturbed and that the bulbs had all been taken away. He was confident that rats had done I the work, and, taking a spade. he be I gan to dig in the hope of discovering their nest. Soon he unearthed a large female rat, which he killed. and after digging a few more minutes he dis covered an underground chamber lined with bay and leaves and connected by a corridor with two holes, which were evidently used as storehouses, for in them he found the 20 tulip bulbs. This wan remarkable, but more re markable was the fact that they were neatly arranged in two rows and that not one of them had been gnawed or otherwIse injured. The Rhodum Sidus. An amusing story told by Hood de scribes how a country nurseryman made a large sum out of sales of a simple little dower which he sold un der the name of the Rhodum sidus. This charming name proved quite an attraction to the ladies. and the flower became the rage of the season. It was one of those freaks of fashion for which there Is no accounting. At length a botanist who found that the plant was not an uncommon weed re quested to know where the nursery man got the name from. Hie elicited the following reply: "I found this Oow er In the road beside us, so christened it the Rhodum sldus." The Purist Lost a Sale. .I're just happened to remember that my wife told me to get a tin pan that will go under the Icebox. Have you any?'
