Many Reason« Why Snapshots of
l< Familiar Spots Are Dearly Prized
by the Soldiers.
Longwood, the Prison Hou«e of Napo

, A piece of paper covered with black
and white splotches—nothing more.
But suppose those splotches have been
painted by sunlight shining through a
camera lens, and form a picture of a
homestead, a familiar street or a
mother’s snowy hair, and face lined
With the eloquent handwriting of the
years—what would a soldier rather
have from home than such souvenirs?
A snapshot of the house and barn;
of the family sitting on the front
steps; of father spading up the gar
den ; of the old horse rubbing his nose
along the pasture gate; of the dog
wagging expectancy' at the kitchen
door; of the baby sprawling in the
■and pile, or the older children squint
ing at the camera with the sun in
their eyes—these are the scraps of pa
per which defy time and distance, a
writer in the Boston Globe states.
They assure men amid scenes of vio
lence and death that the peaceful,
sweet life they have left behind in or
der to defend still exists.
Now that the sweaters, stockings,
wristlets, helmets, Jam, tobacco, choco
late—and other creature comforts
have been sent off, and brains are be
ing cudgled for something else to send
the boys at the front, do not disdain
the humble snapshot—the amateur
photograph that any one can take by
.pressing a spring; the little peep of
home faces and home scene« that can
be sent far overseas and taken out of
a pocket at odd momenta—who knows
at how odd moments?—for a renewal
of faith and hope and memories of
home.
Longwood Old House, the prison
home of Nupoleon, Is about four miles
from Jamestown, the capital of St
Helena. Dismally unattractive, the
place is In about the same condition
that It was In the emperor's time. A
low rambling one-storied farmhouse,
once the dwelling of a peasant fanner
of the island, It is hard to connect the
place with the one-time master of the
Tuileries and Versailles. But Long
wood has an air of romance and mys
tery of its own, for It was the death
place of Napoleon.
The house Is badly lighted and Ill
ventilated. The rooms are tiny and
musty. The so-called billiard room
could never have held even the small
est table and the players at the same
time. The reception room Into which
the emperor was moved when dying, Is
the pleasantest spot in the place, for
It boasts of more than one window. It
was In the space between the two win
dows that the death bed was placed.
Here today is a bust of the emperor.
Visitors to Longwood sign the ancient
visitors’ book In this reception room,
while the aged guide tells the story of
Napoleon’s la it days.
Above the first floor are the garret
rooms, little more than cubby holes,
where former statesmen and marshals
of France lived during their exile with
their master. Outside is the tiny gar
den and the emperor’s fnvorlte arbor.
Here is the flshpool built by his own
bands. At the foot of the plateau is
Geranium valley, and the emperor’s
tomb. It was by Napoleon’s own re
quest that he was buried here. The I
famous willow tree of fiction and his
tory still shadows the emperor’s tomb.
In 1858 Queen Victoria presented |
Longwood to Napoleon III, who re
stored the old plnce. to the condition
in which the great emperor knew IL
NOVELIST HAD HIS REVENGE
Dumas Worked With Subtlety, but

* T"
Thoroughly Complete.
-----
When Alexandre Dumas, the French
novelist, was a young man, he was
grievously insulted by a man whom he
had regarded as his friend.
• Everyone expected him to punish the
«ftender severely, but instead he began
looking upon him with more consider
ation and apparent friendliness than
he had ever shown before.
Y At length, three years later, when
the erstwhile friend was to be married,
the novelist was asked to serve as best
man, and did so. When the ceremony
was over and the guests were leaving
someone remarked to Dumas: “I have
often wondered at your kindness to
this man. Surely yours is a remark
ably forgiving nature, for although he
Insulted you grossly, you have assidu
ously studied his happiness ever since,
and even assisted him in getting mar
ried.”
“Quite right!" answered Dumas. “I
flatter myself that I have given the
fellow the most furious and ljgix-eyed
mother-in-law to be found in France!”

Making New Words.
We’re going to help the dictionary
makers with a couple of suggestions.
Here are two words we have thunk up
without the aid of mechanical appli
ances or paraphernalia whatever—
without even brains.
Pfscapalate—A taste for fish ; for In
stance, the fellow has one who loves
shad so much that he is willing to
spend half an hour taking bones out of
his teeth Just eo to eat one Blub of
fish.
Strenulst—here is now “strenulty."
therefore, why not strenulst, one who
■trens? The strenulst Is one who gets
up before any one else and starts tn
doing a lot of unnecessary things real
hard, Just to make dust fly. He bores
you to death telling you about it. so he
should be separated from the common
herd.
We’d like to have some more new
words, If you’ve coined any. pass ’em
along, please. The language Is in
danger and needs help!—Richmond

-
Tfiere Is not much mystery, or even
any at all, in the dislike of "experts”
that is felt and expressed by not a few.
The expert man is a man who goes to
other men and tells them that the
way In which they are doing their work
is not the best way—that it is a bad,
costly, or even stupid way—and that if
they will only listen to him and follow
his advice their work will be Improved
and their efficiency Increased.
None of us takes pleasure in hear
ing talk of that sort, and the displeas
ure is greater in exact proportion with
length of the hearer’s training and ex
perience in conducting his business,
trade, or art. All that the expert says
carries the Implication of adverse criti
cism directed against the recipient of
his suggestions, and usually it Is criti
cism of that rertplent's father and
grandfather. Of course that Is re
sented, and the resentment Is bitterest
when the expert goes ahead and gives
undeniable proof that his new way
of doing things is better than the old
ways which have long been productive
of honor and profit.
The expert, too, is always open to
the convenient charge that he is not
“practical"—that he Is a man of the
ories and fads. Sometimes the charge
is true—but only of the expert who
claims the name without deserving it.

The electric ray Is a species of fish
found on the Pacific coast. It Is known
from central California southward to

common In Monterey bay. This fish Is
provided with an electric organ com

the skin of the upper surface to that
