NAPOLEON AMI) THE BRITISH SIVY. _ ♦__ . There are, we fancy, very few people who know that the great Napoleon once applied for permission fco enter the British navy. Such, however, according to the Naval and Milita>y Record, is the fact, and Mr Goschm has recently discovered in the arohivei of the Admiralty the original lett E in which the request is made by Bonaparte, then a student aft Brienne. He was, as everyone knows, then preparing for a mili tary career, but the school inspectors reported that he would make an excel ent naval officer, and isir William Fraser relates that his application to the British Admiralty was dm to the Influence of his fellow a t, Lawley, afterward Lord Wenlock Bonaparte, when sending this letter, ex pressed his belief that the application would not be successful, beo*uee, though not religious himself, he came of a fanatically Roman Catholic family, and at that time Roman O»< holies were not welcome od British warships. As we all know, Bonaparte proved a true prophet. Siugul&rly enough, it wa» only chance which, at a later d«.te, prevented him from entering the British army. Paoli, the Oorsioan "patriot," strongly urged him to do bo. Paoli at that time had some influence in British military circles, and would have procured Napoleon a commission. The latter considered the offer seriously, and then only declined it on the ground that the French Revolution offered brilliant opportunities for a young officer just starting his career. So he placed his sword at the disposal of his adopted country, Debility Neuralgia, Biliousness. When the nerves are weak there 13 no telling what may happen. You are tired all the time, depressed, restless, and suffer greatly with headache, back ache, neuralgia, and general discom fort. But there is a cure, as Mr. J. Elliott, of West Perth, W. A., well knows. He sends us his portrait, and says: "For many years I suffered greatly with neuralgia in my head and also with bilious ness. I had tried many kinds of medicines but without help. I then tried AVER'S Sarsaparffla Two bottles made such a difference in my feel ings that I was greatly surprised. My general health improved at once, my nerves were stronger, my headache disappeared, and my severe attacks of biliousness were cured." Constipation alone will often cause biliousness, neuralgia, and sick head ache. Ayer's Pills are a safe and sure cure for all liver troubles. And they cure dyspepsia also. Preiaretf by Dr. J. C.
