JOSEPHINE'S TRAGIC FATE.
Reigned With Napoleon at Zenith of
His Power.
Empress Josephine is really immortal
in the hearts of women for three
reasons: For her moral excellence,
intense suffering (such agony as only
women can appreciate,) and heroic
submission to her fate, says the Philadelphia
Press.
She had hardly entered her teens
when a young nobleman, the Marquis
de Beauharnais, sought and won her
hand. They had a charming home
in Paris, and were living the gay and
brilliant life of the capital when the
awful revolution of 1789 loomed upon
tho horizon. They were both ar
rested and held as prisoners, with
the idea that both should be led to
the guillotine, as all the nobles
should, according to the law of the
Girondists.
The Marquis paid the penalty, but
Josephine escaped. A few years later
the great Napoleon lost his heart
to her. The marriage was a fortunate
one for him, as his own words
testify.
"The circumstances of my mar^
riage with Mme. de Beauharnais," he
says, "placed me on a proper footing
with the party necessary to my plan
of fusion, one of the first principles
of my administration; without my
wife, I should never have established
any natural relation with that class."
Another declaration of his agrees
perfectly with this idea: "I win only
battles?Josephine wins me all
hearts."
Josephine, at the time of her first
acquaintance with Bonaparte, then
only a young lieutenant, was in the
flower of her beauty and grace. All
historians agree that she possessed
rare personal attractions and especially
in those of speech and grace of
movement she was inimitable. Aside
from this, she possessed a wonderfullv
cultivated singing voice, and she
played the harp with much skill. No
woman in all France, 60 the artists
of the day agreed, could rival the
consummate beauty and grace of the
Empress Josephine at any time,
whatever she might be doing or saying,
but the fair Josephine seated at
her harp was so ideal that her hearers
often used to/say that only gods
and heroes should be allowed the
privilege of being present at these select
musical soirees.
From the time that Napoleon became
emperor he lavished the greatest
honors upon the children of Josephine
by her former marriage, loving
them and treating them as if they
were his own.
The coronation took place at Notre
Dame with all the show and pomp of
which the French are so fond. When
the papal benediction was pronounced
Napoleon did the unique act of
crowning himself by placing the
crown on his head with his own'
hands. He then turned to Josephine,
who knelt before him, and performed
the same ceremony for her by placing
a crown upon her head. And France
acknowledged them both as their emperor
and empress. So much for
France.
The following year the magnificent
coronation at Milan took place, surpassing,
according to all accc/unts,
the one in France. It was a gorgeous
epectacle, one never to be forgotten
? * 1 J X _ it xl x.
Dy tne people, ana yet amiast an mat
brilliant blaze of beauty and of jewels,
the glittering uniforms of his
splendid soldiers and the martial
strains of music by which Napoleon
was surrounded, what were his feelings
as he held the iron crown of
Milan in his grasp, the greatest ambition
of his life?
And Josephine, who knelt at his
feet, to receive the highest honor that
mortal hands can confer, did the
glory of that crown satisfy her heart?
No. For even as Josephine knelt as
this second crown was being placed
upon her head, she felt or divined
that the supreme tragedy of her life
was yet to be, for she had not given
birth to an heir, and as they had
' ? - J 1 ii
oeen married several years, mere
was no further hope of one.
Josephine knew that her failure to
give France a Napoleonic emperor
was her death knell. At last the fatal
day came. Napoleon tried to get
the agony over as soon as possible by
going straight to the point by saying:
"Josephine, it is to you alone that
I owe the few moments of happiness
I have known in the world. Josephine,
my destiny is more powerful
than my will; my dearest affection
must yield - to the interests of
France."
In these words the blow had fallen.
What she feared had come upon
her.
t? " on i f lm rvm v A/?c*
oaj iiu rnuic, saiu mo(
"I expected this; I understand and
feel for you, but the stroke is not the
less mortal."
Little did Napoleon think when he
was making a sacrifice of all the happiness
he had known in the world
that the ambitious views for which
it was given up would fade away before
five years had passed.
Then came Josephine's hour of supreme
sacrifice. When it was her
turn to speak, though tears were in
her eyes and though her voice falter
PIONEERING IN ALASKA.
What the Government is Doing to Develop
Its Resources.
"For a long time it was thought
that Alaska was valuable only for its
furs and mines and fisheries, writes
Dr. S. E. Forman, in the July Nicholas.
But recently our government
has been making experiments
through the department of agriculture,
and we find that Alaska is a
J -1- 1 o o
gUUU iui uic iai iiici as wen ao
for the fisherman and miner. Surveys
have been made and it is estimated
that in the whole territory
there are about 100,000 square miles
which can be made valuable for tilli
ing and grazing. The farming area
of Alaska, therefore, is as large as
the combined area of the States of
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware.
New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts,
Vermont and New Hampshire;
and, in the opinion of an officer of
the department of agriculture, this
area should be capable of supporting,
a population nearly equal to that
supported by the farm products of
those States. Almost all kinds of
crops can be grown in Alaska.
"The government at Washington
is encouraging the - development of
these agricultural resources. Through
the valley of the Matanuska river it
is building a railroad at a cost of
$35,000,000. When this road is
completed the farmers of the valley
will have an outlet for their products
and will be able to sell them in the
markets of the world. Uncle Sam is
aso selling land to settlers at a reasonable
rate. For four hundred dollars
a homesteader can secure a farm
of 320 acres. Pioneers in considerable
numbers are taking advantage
of this opportunity to become inde

pushing out into the wilderness of
Alaska just as a'hundred years ago
they were pushing out into the wilderness
beyond the Mississippi. Log
cabins are springing up in the centre
of clearings, and settlers are hard
at work hewing down trees and
planting and building."
Nantucket Island is being washed
away at the rate of six feet a year
on its southern side.
ed, what she said and her manner of
saying it impressed everyone who
was present.
"I respond to all the sentiments of
the emperor," she said, "in consenting
to the dissolution of a marriage
which henceforth is an obstacle to
the happiness of France, by depriving
it of the blessing of being one day
governed by the descendants of that
great man raised up by providence
to^efface the evils of a terrible revolution,
and restore the altar, the
throne and social order. I know,"
she went on to say, "what this act
commanded by policy'and exalted interest
has cost his heart. But?we
both glory in the sacrifice which we
make to the good of our country. I
feel elevated by giving the greatest
proof of attachment an$ devotion
that ever was given upon earth."
Imagine the feelings with which
TAcanhlna tin hop roaiHonoo at

Malmaison?Malmaison, where the
happiest days of her life (and his)
had been spent. The only indulgence
she allowed herself was when she
shut herself alone in Napoleon's office,
that room where so many happy
confidences had been exchanged and
which she continued to hold so sacred
that not a soul was allowed to
enter it but herself.
The marriage of Napoleon and
Marie Louise, a daughter of the
House of Austria, took place a very
short time after the divorce was secured.
. Whatever the bitter feelings
of Josephine might have been, they
were not mingled with one ungenerous
or unjust sentiment.
When the announcement was made
that a son had been born to Napoleon,
Josephine, far from feeling
any resentment over the momentous
event, participated in the gratifica11

was happy because he was happy, although
he ha^d gained the crowning
ambition of his life, through the willing
sacrifice of her own.
Napoleon's star was on the wane
the moment he divorced Josephine.
His abdication soon followed. Marie
Louise deserted him the moment
events did not end for him as glorious
as of yore.
It was in the year 1814 that Napoleon
left France for Elba, and also
that Josephine died. The bells to
which they had loved to listen together
tolled her funeral knell. Her
body was followed to its last resting
place by a great number of illustrious
persons?their final token of respect
to one so much loved and honored.
More than 10,000 of the neighboring
peasants joined the funeral procession
to pay their tribute of affection
to her, who was justly called "the
mother of the poor and distressed."
Josephine's memory remains as
imperishable in France as Na
poleon's; but, great as were the
glory and fame of Napoleon, the
greater glory falls upon the blessed
head of Josephine, empress of the
French!

"Christopher! Did I see you raising
your hat to our parlor maid?" ^

she'd give notice. She's too smart
to be nooded to, and if I winked at
her you'd be annoyed."?Pittsburgh
