Perkins wrote home to the marchioness asking her adviee and pointing out her son's infatuation. A day or two passed in agonizing suspense. At last the answer came. Perkins breathed a sigh ot relief. All his anx iety would now be over. He tore open the envelope, but as he read the letter he groaned In the anguish of his soul. It consisted of three words: "Marry her yourself." Poor Bijou! During the siege of Paris, Fran clsque Sarcey indignantly protested against tii< practice of eating dogs. Hunger, however, knows no law, and cauitie and feline butcher shops were opened in different parts of Paris. Skillfully prepared, properly skinned and cooked, with a good sauce, the dogs proved excellent eating. Their meat;was pink and delicate and by no means tough. Canine cutlets were sold at 2 francs each, and a leg of dog might be purchased at double that price a pound. Two good bourgeois, husband and wife, had a little dog of which they •were very fond, lint a day came when there was nothing to eat in the house, and p.oor Bijou- had to be killed and cooked. His master and mistress sat down to dinner with tears in their eyes, and during the dinner the latter mechanically placed the tiny rib bones on the side of her plate. "Poor Bijou!" she ejaculated with a sigh. "What n treat these would have been for hi in!" —Frank Sehlosser in Contemporary Review. A Tearful Eye to Business. Advertising is nowadays almost a fine art. Clever advertisements at tract customers in two ways—first, be cause they effectually call attention to the goods, and. second, because oi their cleverness, pure and simple. Such a one is the following, quoted from London M. A. P.. which adorned a boot shop in the Rue d'Amsterdam, in Paris: LIQUIDATION. With tears in my eyes, i am obliged to clear the whole of my stock of boots. To get rid of It all In a week 1 offer it to you at a loss of 50 per cent. My husband seeing fit to abandon m« with five children. WITS Can't 1 goon wtthout my husband? He cause my husband alone was able to ob tain Job lines from the big provincial and foreign bootmakers. Prudont ladies will profit by these ex traordinarily low prices, which will en able me to olear out my stock and search for my husband throughout Europe. MME. MARIE-LOUISE X. Nothing to Say. According to a delightful story oi Shelley, recounted in the International Journal of Ethics by the Rev. Bradley Oilman, the splendid mental equip ment of the poet did not include hu mor. In his characteristically impas sioned way, Shelley was deeply inter ested in the problem of immortality. One day be met a nursemaid wheeling a very young child in a perambulator. "Here Is a little soul," he reflected, "recently come to earth out of the great unknown preceding human life. Perhaps he can tell me something about the great unknown after human life The two realms may be one and the same." ne accosted the infant twice, but oi course gained no response, only a blanli infantile stare. "Alas, alas!" sighed Shelley. "How very reticent these little creatures are!" Rubber and Gutta Percha. There are important distinctions be tween india rubber and gutta percha, and in the majority of purposes fol which they are employed one cannol replace the other. While the trees yielding India rubber are well distrib uted over the tropical parts of the world and may be cultivated witll more or less facility, the tree whict furnishes gutta percha is to be found only in Borneo.

A writer in a Vladivostok paper tells of an encounter lie once witnessed on a Siberian train between a lady and h nobleman. When the train pulled up at Tsitikar. in Manchuria, a Manclm noble who had bullied all his fellow passengers, alighted at the station restaurant alter warning tbeni that lie would decapi tafe any of them who took his seat. lJuring his absence a smartly dressed young Russian lady entered the car and. despite the alarmed expostula tions of its occupants, calmly appro priated the seat When the noble re turned he flew into a passion and ad vanced threateningly with his curved saber drawn. But the young woman coolly covered him with a shining re volver. "Do you take us for a pack of cow ardly mandarins?" she exclaimed, and then, pointing to her feet, she remark ed, "Here is your place, my hero." The Manclm noble surrendered and sat at her feet for the rest of the jour uey. Hugo and the Barber. When Victor Hugo lived in Paris in the Place Royale he used to be shaved by a barber named Brassier. A friend of the poet asked the barber one day if be was busy. "1 hardly know which way to turn," was the reply. "We have to dress the hair of thirty ladies for soirees and balls." And M. Bras sier showed the list to his friend. A few days after the friend returned and inquired about the thirty ladies. "Ah, monsieur," said the barber sadly, "I was not able to attend half the num ber, and 1 have lost many good cus tomers through M. Victor Hugo." It appears that the poet when about to be shaved was suddenly inspired and seized the first piece of paper he could find to write a poem. Hugo hastily left the shop with his unfinished verses, on the back of which were the names and addresses of the thirty la dies. many of whom waited iu vain for their coiffeur. Used the Wrong Gender. A Frenchman with an imperfect knowledge of English was once called upon for nil after dinner speech. He struggled along manfully for a few minutes, managing to turn one or two good phrases. Finally he excused him self from further effort by saying, "I will no longer cockroach on your time." An Englishman sitting next to him at the table remarked; "Your speech was dooced clever, bah Jove! But you used the wrong word at the close, dou't you know, l'ou should have said 'I will no longer heucroach upon your time.'" "I see," said the Frenchman. "I used the wrong gender."—Exchange. A Curious Stone. A curious stone is the alexandrite. It Is a dark green stone that is polish ed, cut and set, very like a fine topaz or amethyst, in large showy rings sur rounded by diamonds. By the light of day the alexandrite has no special beauty save its fine luster, hut directly a shaft of artificial light strikes the dull stone deep gleams of red flash out of the green, and under the gas or in the firelight one ignorant of this va gary would instantly pronounce It a ruby.

Aarou Burr was by nature and train ing a man of extraordinary self con trol. He allowed no circumstances to throw him off Ills balance. An anec dote told by ltufus Choate to Richard H. Dana, recorded in Mr. Dana's ••Dia ry," illustrates the callousness which aided Hurt - so greatly in controlling himself. Several years after the death of Hamilton, killed by Burr in a duel. Burr visited Boston, and Mr Devereits of Salem paid him some attentions The visitor was taken to the Boston Atheneum, where, while the two men were w; through the gallery ot sculpture. Mr Devereux happened t" catch siirhi of a Intst of Hamilton, l'he thought (lashed across bis mind that Burr nilxlit not care to be con fronted with the of the featured of the man he had slain, i'.ut no. Bun' was undisturbed. He also espied the bust. and. although Mr. Devereux had distinctively turned away, lie walked Up to it and said in a loud tone: "Ah! Here Is Hamilton!" Then, passing hid fitters along certain lines of the face, he added. "There was the poetry!" Hamilton's contemporaries gave him credit for possessing a poetic mind. When Beau Nash and Wesley Mel. Beau Nash, though but an indlffer ent churchgoer, not only went to hear Whitefleld preach, but attended a serv ice at Bath held by .John Wesley. The incident Is related in Southey's "Life of Wesley "While he was preaching this re markable personage entered the room, came close to the preacher and de manded of him by what authority he was acting Wesley made answer, 'By that of Jesus Christ, conveyed to me by the present archbishop of Can terbury, when he laid Ills hands upon me and said. "Take thou authority to preach the gospel."' Nash then af firmed that he was acting contrary to the laws. 'Besides.' said he, 'your preaching frightens people out of their wits.' 'Sir." replied Wesley, 'did you ever hear me preach?' 'No.' said the master of ceremonies. 'How, then, can you judge of what you never heard?' Nash made answer. "By com mon report. 'Sir.' said Wesley, 'is not your name Nash? I dare not judge o( you by common report. 1 think it not enough to judge by.' " Tr Save You Tims. nave yr ever noticed that when reading yon waste a certain amount of time in turning from the end of one line to the beginning of the next' 1 I»ng ago. when the world was not so busy as now, columns were of a much greater width. Since then they have been narrowed more and more. Of course in an hour's reading little time is lost, but in a lifetime it is like ly to be considerable. Realizing this, some one has suggested that type should be arranged as follows. You read to the end of the line, drop the eyes and read backward: What a luxury tuohtlw daer ot the Inevitable ta kcab repmacs the end of each s'ti woh eeS .enit done? The argument is that practice will make perfect. Five minutes' practice is usually found more than sufficient for most people.—Pearson's. The Power of Napoleon. The desperate struggle to do some thing worth while is the very thing which draws out our reserve forces and develops latent power, says Ori son Swett Marden in Success Maga zine. Without this struggle many peo ple would never have discovered their real selves. Napoleon was never so resourceful, never so level headed, nev er had that vigorous mental grasp, was never able to make such powerful combinations, as when lie was driven to desperation. It was when all bridges were burned behind him and there was no possibility of retreat that the possible Napoleon came to the res cue. Napoleon said of bis great gen eral Messena that he never showed his mettle until be saw the wounded and dead falling all around him in bat tle. Then the lion in him was arous ed, and he fought like a demon. Enlightenment. "Father," remarked Johnny after deep thought, "suppose I should knock this jug off the table and catch it, then I wouldn't catch it, would I?" "N-no, I suppose not," his fathe. slowly said "But," continued Johnny, still toying with the jug, "if I should knock it off and not catch it, then I would catch it wouldn't IV" "Yes, you would!" his father grimly returned, this time with quick deci sion.

Damascus, a Garden City. Damascus is a touched by the gre it desert Under Its roses one feels le sands. Beside its trem bling wati.H one dreams of the trem bllng mirage. The cry of its muezzins seems to echo from its mosque towers to that most wonderful thing In nature which Is "God without man." The breath of the wastes passes among the poplars as that Bedouin boy passed among the merchants when he came and when he went. In Damascus one hears the two voices. And when one looks from the sacred mountain upon that city of dream, cradled among the woods, one sees far off the tawny be glnnlngs of that other magic which looks out from the Bedouin's eyes. And thouga perhaps with the pilgrims from Samarkand one loves to rest be side the fountains under the hedges of roses, one is aware of the other love, intercourse with which has made Damascus an earthly paradise for them and for you.—Robert Hicbens in Century. Handicapped. Two old settlers sat smoking In their cabin far away in the backwoods. N<> woman's hand had ever desecrated that sanctum, and grime reigned su preme and triumphant. The conver sation veered around from state poli tics to cooking. "Ya-ns." .aid the elder of the two, with a drawl. "I did get one o' them there cookbooks wunst, but I could never do uothin' with it." "llow was that?" inquired the other "What, was the hitch?" "Waal," was the answer, "every one o' them receits begun in the same way with the same words. Every one o' 'em started off with 'take a clean dish,' and 1 never got no farther." And he slowly replaced his old black clay pipe In his mouth and fell to ruminating sadly on the narrow out look ou the world of human beings as displayed by authors of cookery books. Origin of Kilts. It will doubtless surprise many Scotchmen to learn that the kilt as at present worn is only a modern fancy costume and is not of Scottish origin at all. The honor of its invention is due to two Englishmen—an army tailor who accompanied General Wade's forces to Scotland in 171!) and Thorn as Rawlinson. overseer of some Iron works iu Glengarry's country. For more than a century previously, in deed, the tartan plaid had been the common garb of the highlanders, but it was all in one piece, wound in folds around the body, leaving the knees bare. Prior to the adoption of the tar tan, which probably took place about the close of the fifteenth century, the long, loose saffron colored skirt, the real "garb of old Gaul," was the high land dress.—London Mail. Gift to the Ugly Man. The practice of making such gifts appears to have arisen in America and is nearly obsolete. It therefore seems to deserve a note. It goes back to Harvard college (now Harvard unlver sity) beyond 1794. In that year Wil liam Biglow was the recipient of the jackknife. In 1705 he handed it onto Charles Prentiss, with these lines: Item; C. I'. has my knife JJurinK his natural college life, That knife which ugliness inherits And duo to his superior merits. And when from Harvard he shall steer I order him to leave it nere That 't may from class to class descend Tilt time and ugliness shall end. —Notes and Queries. Meaning of Cemetery. It is not correct to say that "cemc tery" means the "city of the dead." The word is from the Greek "koime terion," meaning sleeping place, not the place of the dead. There is noth ing in the etymology of the word to warrant us in thinking that it was originally intended to convey the idea that the departed were really dead any more than there is in the old Hebrew term for cemetery, "bethalm," the Imnse of the living.—Exchange.
