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. It is the
carefully -prepared and stuffed head of
a horse which was burn, with a finely
developed mustache. This seems to con
tradict the sage Ben Akiba's favorite
saw that "there is nothing new under
the sun. " Bt Louis Poet-Dispatch,

WOMEN COMPETING WITH MEN.
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.

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

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. London Letter.
