Interest in Na- poleon never seems to flag, ard when- ever any fresh light can be thrown on any of the Protean aspects of this extraordinary character it is sure of general welcome. Some eur jous letters have just beew found, written more then a hundred years ago, which show the variable moods of the great captain at one of the moments when he was entering upon a new phase of his meteoric life. -.He was civilly married at, Saint Cloud on April 1, religiously on the next day, and on the 5th conducted Marie Louise to spend a brief honey- moon at Compiegne. Congratulatory letters poured in from every cormer of Europe, and the modern Caesar had to answer them himself, as he would not leave this business to any- body else. POOR HANDWRITING. In an almost illegible handwriting he jotted down the list of recipients, and then set his secretary, Fain, to write from dictation. The first was to the King of Prussia and began : Monsieur mon Frere I was quite certain that the news of my marriage with the Arch- duchess Marie Louise of Austria would cause your Majesty to share in the joy that I feel at an extent that is as important for my family and for the good of my people. The congratulations that your Majesty sent me in the letter that ete.

The proofs nature to convince Me that you would feel a real pleasure in. hear - ing of an event as interesting to My Imperial family as to the wel- fare of the peoples confined to My care. In the letter dictated on June 16) for the Emperor of Russia, the first draft read : manner in which Prince Kurakin has acquitted himself of the extraordin - any mission which your Majesty en- trusted to him. The choice of this minister was the more agreeable to me, since the prince, his brother, your Majesty's ambassador to. my court, enjoys all my esteem, and this gives me an opportunity of letting him know the special liking I have for both of them.

The letter addressed to the King of Saxony is only barely polite, per- haps because of a souvenir of Jena, where he was an ally of the Prus- sians.

For two whole months, from April 20 to June 20, 1910, the epistolary talent of the emperor, who had a style peculiarly his own, which often made his private letters read like- ding congratulations, and they con stitute a real study for those who ean read between the lines and no- tice the shades of difference in cor- diality in the various epistles: To the Hanreatic Towns.and to the Swiss he is cordial and paternal, but to the Prussians he'is only cor- rectly dignified and changes the rough draft according to after acts of am- bassadors or previous recollections of past conduct. Dengnettcs adda that he heard. af- terwards that Boneparte had really made.a mistake, and that the men were not guilty, but he does not vouch for the truth of the report. Desgnette's book is full of thumbmail pictures of the life of the army in Egypt and character sketches of the generals. He has a good-deal to say of General Caffarelli, who had only one leg, but commanded a di- vision and was killed before St. Jean d Acre. His men did not like him, considering he was largely re- sponsible for the expedition and its hardships. The camp brigade of bakers, indeed, plotted to throw their general into the ovens. Another contribution to Napol- eoniana is the collection of memor- ies and letters of the army surgeon, Baron Desgnettes, who was with the Bgyptian expedition. One day he found Eugene Beauharnais asleep in the sand in the desert of Ramanieh On another occasion Napoleon. ted condemned several of his pet Grena- diers to death for looting and mur- der. His reflectings, made to Desg- nettes, are worth quoting: COST HIM DEAR. My sentence on the Grenadiers of the 32nd regiment cost me dear, but I was obliged to do it. A command- er-in-chief must have a tremendous power. How can you reasonably question the right of a man to whom the Senate sometimes entrusts the lives of a hundred thousand troops to punish such serious offences as he deems fit? I convicted these Grena - diers before punishing them t When I seized Antoine by the collar, and said to him: Come, miserable wretch, and let me confront you with your accomplice, he was con- founded. But what men -ellows to win a corporal has won some. You did did not see how they died? Like Caesars, showing their affection for me. One of their comrades went to drink with them in prison, and re- marked: Perhaps there-was some truth in the charge, else Bonaparte would not have condemmed you. Be silent, was the answen; you do not know what you are saying; he was eceived again, as he often tas been before, but no matter let us drink to his health. MARCHED STEADILY. And when the time came for the execution they marched steadily out and stood calmly before the firing party, saying: This is how the Greua- d ers of the 32nd die. Afterwards the officers came to see me, but would not receive them; but, faith T pity those upon whom the 3and may fall on the first occasion that presents itself for them to wipe out the rememberance of all this. STRANGE CHARACTER. Kleber was another strange charac ter. He had been a corporal in the Australian army, and was very rude and uncouth, especially in his speech. Nevertheless, he was a great soldier, and was left in command when Napoleon departed to become emper- or. Kleber. was inconsolable at being left alone, as in many respects he had affinities with Bonaparte, and in the solitude of Ghizeh he was wont to sulk in silence when not engaged on duty. When Napoleon was raised to the supreme dignity Kleber fused to change the address of letters written to him at the toire I have not a word to add or to subtract from my comespondence with the government, he said.

In Palestine Bonaparte stood god- father. to a baby born at Nazareth, and astonished the monks. by the decency and reverence of his be- havior at the baptism. On the whole there was a good deal more religious feeling then might have been expect- ed in the army, and all the funerals were largely attended and earried out with the full pomp and rites of the Roman Catholic church. A. soldier who lost a, finger picked it up and carefully buried it in the cemetery, saying: I do not know what may become of my body, but at least I shall have a finger buried in the Holy-Land. DEAF AND BLIND, SHE Miss Helen Kellar Aidviaen Against Raising False Hopes for Sut Sufferers. Boston, Aug. 0/ Lawlaing xports of the world, atendants at the clos- ing session of the Interna fonal Con- gress of Otologists, listened attent- ively yesterday to an address rom the lips of Miss Helen Keller, the deaf and blind young woman who has Tearned to talk. Miss Keller spoke first In English, making s plea for the education of the deaf, and later gave toasts in French and German. As a further demonstration of her triumph over natural obstacles, Miss Keller sang, giving the ear specialists the benefit of some legsons in vocal culture, which she bas recently undertaken. Tn her address Miss Keller said: Realst the tendency, some - phy- siclans call it human, I call It bai berous of leaving the patient In hope of ultimate recovery when you know that tIs impossible.

NAVAL POLICY PLAN 1S TERMED MOCKERY Sir Frederick Borden Criti- cizes Proposal to Take Question Out of Politics. Ottawa, Aug. 19. Speaking on the naval policy Sir Frederick Borden said: I am rather amused over the pre- sent talk of the desirability of taking the Canadian navy out of party poli- tics, just as if a resotution to this effect had not been unanimously pass- ed by both sides of the House as re- eently as March 1909. Judged, by the present action of the Conservatives they evidently took that stand solely because they thought thet it would trouble Sir Wilfrid jluurter,tor-since then they have lcompltely ignored that resolution and made the question very much a party lone. The unanimous resolution of 1909 was the basis for the calling- of the imperial conference of that. year, in which*all the overseas dominions were represented, and the policies then agreed upon were afterward ap- proved by the Conservative party. hear thereis a talk of repealing that act, and-certainly the invitation to Sir Wilfrid to attend the coming conference Is only a hollow mockery of the original understanding between the wo parties, If that act had been carried out we would now have eight or nine battleships under pro- man them; As for contributing financially to Great Britain s defence is the idea to lessen the burden of the British tax- payer or materially to increase the number of ships? If the former, we must not forget that Canadfan rates jare just as heavy as the British, or 19.50 per year, but that while their taxes are going toward great arma- ments for guns, etc., ours goes into the Improvement of the country, which surely is as vital a way of strengthening the Empire as any. Though this comparison is not given as an evcuse for escaping our real responsibilities, we must not for- get, as Sir Charles Tupper pointed out some years ago, that we are bear- * ing our load in our way as England is in hers and creating on this side of the Atlantic an asset as useful or more so to the life of the Empire.
