Mil Anna L. BickncIL -ho mm for (tinny yrars a Kovcrnrss in tho fnniily of Mio of tho Indies of tho Empress Engo nio's housriiolrl, writn of "ThoTnilo rics Under tho Sisxiiid Empire" in Tho Ocntnry, from whicih wo take tho fol lowing account of tho escape of tho em press nfter tho downfall of Napoloon in tho Frnnoo-Oormnn war: Tho chnmhor of dpnties hnd licon in faded by tho mob; tho downfall of tho cmpiro had been decreed; tho ropnhlio had been proclaimed. Tho cries of tho popular fury wero henrd in tho very gardens of tho Tnileries, find the enrag ed populace vu coiuIiik nearer and near er. Tho crowd reached tho reserved gar den in front of tho palace and tore down tho emblematic imperiul eagles. It was then a quarter past 8 in tho afternoon. Tho Auittrinn and Italian embassa dors now entreated tho ompross to leave tho palace, but she warmly rojoctod tho proposal Tho daughter of a noble race, with the horoio blood of the Germans flowing in her veins, she could not but consider flight as an act of cowardice. She was a sentinel left to defeo the post, and sho would die there. The roar of the mob becamo louder and louder; the crios of "Vivo la ropubliquol" wore distinctly hoard. "Madame," then oaid her faithful secretary, Pletri, "by remaining hero you will canso general massacre of your attendants. " 1 Sho seemed struck by this, and turn ing to General Mellinet she said: "Can yon defend tho palace without bloodshed?" "Madame, I four not. " "Then all is over, " said tho empress. She turned to those present. "Gentle men, can you bear witness that I have done my duty to the last?" They hastily answered "Yes," again urging her to loave. All her usual attendants of tho serv ice d'honnonr were assembled in tho rose colored' room a fairy bower, ill suited as a frame for such a tragic pio tnro, and which sho was nover to see again. Sho bade farewell to all. StrnngO to say and tho inexplicable fact has nover been doniod nor excused not one of those present ofTered to follow her, not ono asked her whore she was seek ing a refuge. Lot us hasten to add that her ever faithful friend and follower, tho Duo do Bassano, was not there. He was at the senate house vainly trying to stem the flood. But there were oth ers who could have filled his place. All wore bewildered and absorbed by selfish fears. Ono lady who filled a sec ondary though confidential post in the household, Mme. Lebroton, sister to General Bourbaki, followed her unhap py mistress into exile. With one faith ful attendant, Pietri, and the two em bassadors, the empress threaded the gal- Orjes communicating with the Louvre whftq the mob broke into the Tuileriea on the other side. There was a door of communication which was found lock ed, and for one brief moment anxiety was intense, but the key was happily found, and crossing the splendid gallery of Apollo in the Louvre the fugitives found their way into the place opposite the Church of Saint Germain l'Auxer tola Two columns of insurgents were com ing la different directions. The danger was great, and the Austrian embassador,' Prince. Metternioh, went in haste to seek , his carriage. Meantime a street boy called out, "There is the empress t" Mnch alarmed, the Italian embassador, Chevalier Nigra, hastily thrust the em press and Mme. Lebroton Into a hackney carriage and turned to silence the boy. The driver, frightened at the approach of the mob, drove off In violent haste, and the two embassadors immediately lost sight of the vehiola The empress had no money about her, and when, on reaching a quieter region, the driver asked her where he was to take her she knew not whither to go. Several calls were made at the houses of friends. ' None was at home, and the empress, utterly exhausted, and not knowing where to find a refuge, sud denly remembered, that Dr. Evans, the American dentist, lived near, and to biat she -went Dr. Evans was about to go to dinner and at first refused to see the unknown lady who oame at such an nnpropitious time, but as she insisted ' upon speaking to him he came out and was struok with astonishment on finding himself in the presenos of the fugitive empress. To his honor be it said that never in the days of imperial prosperity could she have met with more respect or more devoted seal in her service than was now shown by Dr. and Mrs. Evans. Nothing that could be done for her com ' fort was neglected, and Dr. Evans never left his imperial guest until he had safely landed her on the English shore. Here at least there was neither ingrati tude nor selfish fear, and the oonduot of Dr. Evans on this memorable occasion will be remembered as a title of honor to his name and to his country. A Natural Curiosity. The Provincial Museum For Natural Sciences of Westphalia has come Into the possession of a natural curio such as has never been seen before.

Men Moat Make Vp Ttinlr Minds That I Women Arc In lndtutry to Stay. I ' Tho example of tho Brooklyn elevated railways in uhstitnting women for mon as ticket agents will very likely be fol lowed In New York. It is said that, while the service of women in the Brook lyn offices is cheaper than that of men, it is not loss efficient or loss courteous. The Brooklyn managers say that they have taken account only of economy and utility. Women have as good a right as men have to tako any kind of honest work which they p.roblo to perform or which they can secure. Within a few years past they havo entered into hundreds of tnrlnstries which hnd previously been followed by men nlono, and wo mnst snpposo that they havo found it to their advantage to do so. The unnumbered in ventions of tho nge have opened up now fields of activity for them. Tho ever ex tending employment of machinery in production has enabled them to do things which formerly required such strength as is possessed by men alone. Even with in 10 years there has been an immenKe increase in tho number of women who are experts in skilled, trades. Women clorks and counter waiters have sup planted mon in thouso: Is of establish ment, wholesalo and retail. There are several thousand feminine typewriters and telegraph operators in the city. Lit erary women are turning out books upon all subjects in rivalry with men, Wom en teachers abound as never before, and we have seen a long list of fomale leo tnrers, all waiting to receive orders. What are tho men to do about it all? In the first place, they have been able to get along about as well as usual during the 10, 80 or more years in which wom en have been largely superseding them in many branches of activity. i In the second place, it is beyond the power of tho men to keep women out of any industry which they wish to fol low and in which they can earn the wages that they need. The mon may as well make up their minds that this is a solemn fact. Men will have to turn their attention more than ever to those indus tries which thoy alone are capable of pursuing. There are lots of things which women cannot do as well as men and which must be done by tho stronger sex. Then, again, there are hordes of bach elors who, if they wero to marry, as they ought to do, could very speedily and largely reduce the competition of women in the lubor market We guess that, as tho saying goes, "things will adjust themselves" here after, as things aro always pretty sure to do on this overcharging old earth. New York Sun. Share and Share Alike, Bov. Charles G. Ames of Boston lnto ly preached an excellent sermon on "Men's Religion and Women's Reli gion. " In closing he said: "We shall not always put asunder what God has joined together. An end is coming to the unnatural divorce which keeps in on from the work of the church and women from the work of the world. All burdens will be lighter when we bear them as a common load. All blessings will be doubled when we share together the spirit whioh blesses. All the good things of earth and heaven let us mingle them in one cup of com munion." Remodeling; a Skirt. A simple way of adding fullness to a skirt of last season's cut is to put a half circular piece of a quarter of a yard in depth at the bottom. If you haven't material enough, then black moire will in most oases make a pretty contrast A narrow trimming of silk braid or Jet on the edge and at the seam where the piece fits in the skirt makes a pretty finish. An odd sleeve whioh appeared on black satin dress consisted of an immense puff below the shoulder, and into this was inserted some chine silk, with a cream ground daintily flowered. New York News. A She Breaker In these days curious occupations are constantly developing. A late one is that of "shoe breaker. " An English woman will, for half a crown a pair, take your new shoes and wear them long enough to take off the tight stiffness that new shoes are apt to have. It takes about three days to bring them to the happy condition of comfort whioh poets sing of, and in busy times she has as many as six pairs going at onoe, wearing each two hours every day.
