Dilapidated M He Hp* Been Plctursd by Mark Twain. ^ Probably no written portrait of the third Nspul?-on la better known to Americans than that embodied in tho rhetorical apostrophe of Mark Twain in "The Innocent* Abroad," where ho contrasts the emperor of tho French itud the sultau of Turkey at th?l* meeting in Paris In IKC7. It was thought very fine and stirring tit the time, hut It la a picture to provoke curloflty and amusement today. Mark Twain described bow the future em- 1 peror carried his dreams with hlin Into how he aaaociated with the common herd In America, and rtfn foot lan n for a wager, how he walki d hit) weary beat, a common policeman of I^ondon. That he carried his drearns into exile, that his belief in his star never wavered, la unquestionably true, Hut It is not quite ao romantic a. figure, not such a dilapidated a Louitf Napoleon, thut we aoe In the accounts of more careful historians than Mark Twain. For example, there 1b "Inti mate Momolrs of Napoleon III," by the la(e Baron d'Ambes. D'Ambea was not with I <ouln Ngpplfon in America, but It was from tho prince's own IlpH that ho claimed ho rocelved the linpres slons of that visit. lx>uis j^apoleon camo to Norfolk, Va., from Illo do Janeiro on the frigate Androm< <)o. The commander, Henri de Villenouve, was very kind to the exile, and the prince thanked hlin with the words "You are obliging a man who wlri ono day be emperor of the French, un fortunate as he may appear at pres ent. I shall not forget you." The Andromede arrived at Norfolk March 80, 1837, Tho prince procooded straight to New York and dined at Oen. Watson Webb's, where he found Oeneral Scott, his two brothers-in-law, the Stewarts, and a number of sena tors and statesmen.

Nearly everybody bellevea. that Ben jamin"' Franklin was the inventor and i constructor of tho first lightning rod. In this particular they aro mistaken, as the first lightning catcher was in vented by a poor monk of Bohemia, who put up the first lightning rod on tho palace of the curator of Predltz, Moravia, June 15, 1754. Tho apparatus was composed of a pole surmounted by an iron rod, supporting 12 curved branches and terminating in as many metallic boxes filled with iron ore. Tho entire system of wires was uni ted to tho earth by a largo chain. The enemies of the inventor, jealous of his | success, excited the peasants of the lo cality against him and under the pre text that his lightning rod was the j cause of the excessive dry weatfcer had the rod taken* down and the In ventor imprisoned. Value of T ravel. Goethe says that no man has a right to write until he has traveled and lived. Certainly no one has a right to think he knows what life offers or what earth can give until ho travels. Travel does more toward letting UB go free of our human limitations than nnything else in life. It frees us by giving us largo views, a wide sense of opportunity, a fuller comprehension of the- lavish hand which has strewn beauty over the earth. Above all. travel numbs grief be cause It lifts us from tho personal in to tho universal life, the life trium phant, whatever be tho fate of the fragment called ono's self. ? Harper's Bazar. Two Systems Compared. A government, says a writer in the Twentieth "Century ?

The government thus eulogized is that of Germany, which tho writer quoted prefers to. pur "go-a.vyou please" system. Opposites. Tho dapper little ribbon clerk gazed ianguiahingly into the dnr^p eves of the handsome brunette waitress. "Isn't It wonderful." ho. gurgled, "how opposltes seem to be attracted to each other?"

He has a wooden leg and the other one Is bowed, and he only has one eye and Is bald In patched, and positively has tho uglleat whiskers I ever saw on a man. Why. no woman in her senses could love him!" "We shall be ideally happy," ex plains the beuuteous girl. "I shall nover be jealous qt him for the rea sons you have cited.
