Bergsli(ru, m-appearing like scarsupon
her sunny v.dleys, one occasionally sees
weather U r n, ramshackle houses, snr
rounde i>y eg lee ted gardens, fields and
orchards. Yards encumbered with old
wagons, a bony, superannuated horse,
grazing at will, and the presence of un
couth individuals show, what we would
otherwise scarcely suspect, that these are
the dwelling places of human beings. In
ninety-nine cases out of a hundred the
dwellers in these isolated rookeries and
mountain cabins belong to a class whose
standards are far below those of the ordi
nary illiterate laborer—a class that is
consider d hardly within the pale of our
civilization. The children of this class
are dull often to idiocy. This and their
irregular attendance at school accounts
for the fact that they arc furnished with
the barest rudiments of knowledge.
Catherine Sedgwick speaks of these as
"people who hang on the outskirts of
civilization," and comments on their dia
lect and peculiar manners.
A gentleman of unquestioned veracity
says that in one of the families there
were not as many articles of clothing as
there wit" children, and on the rare ap
proach ni' team the unclad ones scut
tl..l like i-.i ninny rabbits into the bushes.
The mother made "bread" by stirring
water into Hour and throwing this paste
on the stove, i t summer the children
fed. like the I tubes in the wood, mostly
on berries. There was but one chair,
which was occupied by tho father. The
tno'.i'.cr, t'.rtef throwing lite potatoes out
of the | t. made it do duty as a chair.

blew her straight, dark hair about her
pale, thin face; no shoes protected her
feet from the ground, and only a thread
bare waterproof cape was thrown over
her calico gown. At first she was very

to her as much n matter of course as that

Dr. Hansen, the Norwegian discoverei
of the bacillus of leprosy, camo over to
this country a while ago to trace the his
tory of leper immigrants who had settled
in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Dakota.
Of 100 original leper immigrants he was
able to Ibid only 13; a few more may bo
living, but nearly 14.7 are dead. Of all
their descendants, so far as great-grand
children. nut one has become a leper. In
this country the disease does not increase
nor does it appear to be hereditary. The
failure to spread here is thought to bo
duo to tlie improved conditions of living
which the immigrants are able to secure
on this side of the ocean.
The Sanitary Inspector, in speaking of
a leper lab ly found at Brentwood, ling
land, says that many persons believe that
leprosy lias entirely disappeared from
England, y, i there has probably never
been a year in which a score of lepers
could,not lie ; Viced, and that, though

Th* Dtikf of OrlcHiiM, Wlir* Think* He

and They Will Punish llim for It.
The king of France, so the old ballad
tells us, with 40,000 men marched up the
hill arid then—inarched down again.
And so Prince Louis Philippe Robert,
due d' Orleans, who thinks he has a right
to be king of France, celebrated his
twenty-first birthday by marching into
Paris and offering to serve as a private
soldier r.:i other Frenchmen of that age
are required to do. But there is a law \
forbidding any member of any family j
which claims the throne to re-enter
France; and so the duke soon found i
himself in the Conciergerie prison, and i
now the government gives out that he !
will be sentenced for a time, after which
President Oar not limy pardon hiin if he
sees lit.
The duke is the sou of that Conitede
Paris, who, with his younger brother,
served awhile on the staff of Gen. Mc-
Clellan. In those days it was no little
amusement to Americans on the stall to
observe the extreme deference paid to the
count by his younger brother, who acted
Precisely as if his

In 1807 he married his beautiful anil

Due de Montpensier, and this boy was
born to them Feb. 0, 1809. All these aro
"of the younger branch," for tho Conite
de Chatnbord, as the direct descendant
of Charles X, is by strict law of descent
nearer the throne. When, however, in
1802, the people overthrew Charles X,
they ruled out that line as a finality and
gave the crown to Louis Philippe, who
was a son of Philippe Egalite, who was
a descendant on his mother's ride from
Louis XIV, and on his father's from
that king's brother, and therefore had
concentrated in hiui a little more of the
blood of the original and beloved Bour
bon, Henry IV, than any other c-laim-
In the early days of tho republic little
ittention was paid to these kinglets—the
uore claimants there were of that sort
ho less likelihood there wps of any of
.Item menacing the government—the
boy tho Kepublieans really dreaded was
the prince imperial, son of Louis Napo
leon. V< i y opportunely lie went to
South Afri a with the Briti-h troops and
got killed by the Zulus, and so his cousin,
young Victor Napoleon, became Ids heir,
and that pradically ended the imperial
ists' chances. Meanwhile the kinglets
had been gaining popular l'avor, and one
of them, the Due d'Aliunde,had attained
to the high ofllcc of division general in
the French army. The Conite de Paris'
family gradually set up a sort of court
in their magnificent mansion in the Fau
bourg St. Germain, and the attempt of
tho so called "Henry V," or Conite dt
Chambord, of the older branch, to assert
his claims to the throne of Wpnin brought
on a crisis.
The expulsion law, whicli was the net
result of the agitation, forbade the re
turn to France of any claimant, and
when, therefore, the duke presented
himself at the Bureau do liecrutement
early in the morning and gravely an
nounced his name, that he was a citizen
of France and had come as a patriotic
Frenchmen, in compliance with the law,
to begin his three years' service, tlie offi
cials were completely shaken frotn their
propriety. One can hut regret that
there wasn't a Yankee or an Irishman in
control t hero to have promptly ordered
him into barracks with the "toughest"
lot of recruits that could be selected;
one niglit of such a practical joke would
have made him hail the government ar
rest as a relief. The prefect of Paris
police arrested him that evening, and he
spent the night in the Concergerie in
stead. It appeared in the preliminary
examination that he entered France by
night and in disguise.
Ilia intimate friend, the young Due
do Luynes, had been spending some days
with hiiu at Lausanne, where lie was a
student in the Swiss Military academy.
When lie announced his intention the
Due do Luynes assured him the punish
ment would bo severe. Philippe, etc.,
declared that imprisonment had no ter
rors for him; Franco had called her
able bodied young patriots to the ranks;
lie was one of them and must go.
The two friends proceeded to Geneva.
Philippe, who is a blonde, concealed his
half with a brown wig and changed bis
clothes; they took the night express and
| by daylight were in Paris. After break
last with Lie Do Luynes, at their elegant
mansion, lie proceeded to "enlist"—not
| for three years, but for as many months
| as tho government may think it policy
' to confine him. Bo strongly do old ideas
hold sway in Europe, and so strongly
(from the American standpoint) do peo
ple there reason, that journalists and
ministers from oilier nations have dis
patched to their journals and anxious
monarchs that the government of Franco
"does not appear seriously shaken." Peo
ple on this side of tho water hardly know
whether to sneer at a government which
can imagine danger in a headstrong boy
or laugh at ono which boasts of not be
ing "seriously bhaken." All Europe agi
tated by a boy's freak is such a ludicrous
comment on recent assurances of "sta
bility" that the American can only fall
back on the Californian's comment:
Is their civilization a failure,
And is the Caucasian played out!

Th Ui'tort Unfortunate.
A* certain Shakespearean club in one of
the most fashionable suburbs was enter
tained successively by the various mem
bers. It finally became the duty of a
popular young bachelor to assume the
position of host. Wishing to make the
evening a pleasant reminiscence to all
present the gentleman had Rosalie Music
hall, in which ho proposed entertaining,
decorated in a charming manner. lie
also had a delicious luncheon served by
a proficient caterer, and the appoint
ments were elegant in-every particular.
So thoroughly enjoyable-was- the evening
that every one felt like expressing their
thanks to the young host, and in various
pretty speeches did the ladies signify
their appreciation of his efforts.
Surrounded by a bevy of his fair
guests, tho face of the young man was
the picture of delight, when another
. young lady joined the circle and offered
thanks where thanks were due. Her
manner of expressing herself, however,
cuu.-ed the light to die out of tl.v
gentleman's face, and a baby stare su
perseded it. It might be remarked here
that the young man had offered his hand
to a Rosalie Court belle the preceding
month and been refused. And the lady,
entirely unconscious of the affair, said:
"Oh, Mr. Blank, 1 really must compli
ment you on the charming manner in
which you have entertained us this even
ing. Everything has been perfectly
lovely: we have noticed the absence of
nothing that would have added to the
evening's enjoyment, unless, perhaps, a
hostess, and (i:i a piquant manner) we
are sure that is something you really
couldn't procure."—Pittsburg Dispatch.

have ail idea that fires hi their houses

stove to be found. Every one wears the
warmest sort of underclothing and
heavy wraps indoors and out. The peo
ple'spend six months of the year in a
perpetual shiver and the other six hi a
perpetual perspiration. It looks ratiier
odd to see civilized people sitting ia a
parlor surrounded by every possible lux
ury, fire alone excepted, wrapped in
furs and-rugs, with blue noses and chat
tering teeth, when coal is'cheap and the
mountains are covered with timber; but
nothing can convince a Chiiluno that ar

has not the wit to warm his chilled body.
It is odd, too-, to see in the streets men j
wearing fur caps, and with their throats !
wrapped in heavy mufflers, while the !
women who Walk beside them havenotli- i
big at all on their heads. During the

manta, as they do in Peru, bitt i t the i
afternoon, on the promenade or when j
riding, they go bareheaded. The prevail- j
ing diseases are ■ pneumonia and other ;
throat and lung troubles, and during the j

Aii Alarm Bottle Tor I'oison*.
A Chicago man has invented a bottle
stopper to be used exclusively for poisons.
The superiority over the old fashioned
article lies in tho construction of the
stopper. Tito projection which enters
the neck of tho bottle is ground glass,
with a small hole in ono side, through
which protrudes a little rod or trigger.
The top of the stopper is covered with a
small bell inclosing cog wheels, which
are so arranged that when the stopper is
removed the bell will ring. When it is
laid down it rings again, and when re
turned to its place in tho bottle it again
sounds an alarm. Tho mechanism is so
arranged that it is absolutely impossible
to remove or replace the stopper without
first ringing the bell, thus making it im

Senator Davi* and IIIH Wife.
It was tho good fortune of Davis to win
a splendid woman, and it was Miss Ag
new's good fortune to wed one who was
destined to occupy a seat in tho United
States senate. Mrs. Davis soon became
prominent in Washington as a social
leader, though she is by no means
ashamed of having made her living by
the needle. Indeed, slio makes her own
clothes because she can make them bet
ter than tho artists in that line. Sho is
now a very accomplished woman, paint
ing in oil and waters, speaking or read
ing several languages and being an ex
cellent horsewoman.—Washington Let
