A BRILLIANT SHAM.
Faris Under the Rule of the Third
Napeleon.
Never was there so pleasure loving
and sp easy going a court, and seldom
has there been one which was exter
nally so splendid. The emperor spent
money like water and thereby produc
ed a prosperity for the time and with
It popularity for the government.
Hundreds of millions were lavished
upon Paris, much of It being wasted,
yet none the less with the result that
the city really deserved its title la
vllle lumlere.
In these days it has
gone to seed and grown shabby, but in
1869 everything seemed fresh and
new and brilliant and Imposing The
army was rotten to the core. Yet the
emperor’s cent gardes were splendid
soldiers to the eye. Society was no
leas demoralized, yet Its gayety was
exhilarating.
These were the days
when it was said that good Americans
when they die go to Paris. The em
peror conferred distinction by recog
nizing any foreigner. The empress set
the fashions for the world. It was all
a sham, but it was thoroughly mng-
nlficent In Its way. It can best be
-Understood at present by reading Zo
la's early novels, by recalling some
chapters of Daudet's "I.e Nabab" and

The hook caught in the cat’s ears, and
it promptly turned and swam toward

The fisherman knocked the
animal on the head with the paddle,
and the movement capsized the boat.
Theo there was a fight In the water,
and the fisherman defended himself so
