A Fascinating Occupation For
Tourist In Paris.
Window gasing Is one of the recog
nized vocations of the tourist In Purls.
Everybody engages iu this fascinating
occupation, and, in truth, it would be
Impossible to resist the temptation, for
the most beautiful wares are set forth
in the most artistic manner, and the
only way you cmi withstand the desire
for possession is to leave the coin of
the realm and even your letter of
credit at home; otherwise there Is no
telling into what extravagance, not to
ay useless purchase, you may be per
suaded when probably you have Just
gone out for a morning stroll.
Of all these windows the Jewelers'
seem to be the greatest magnets. Hut
the bewildering part of it is that to
the man or woman unversed in the
knowledge of precious stones the Imi
tations thereof look quite as good as
the genuine articles. I'earls, diamonds,
rubies, emeralds and so throughout
the long list stones are so perfectly im
itated that It Is small wonder many
American women succumb to the
temptation of buying them. Hut there
the temptation does not end, for they
bring thorn borne with all the intent
to dazzle, bewilder and deceive their
.unsuspecting relatives and friends
with the maguiticence of their sudden -ly
acquired wealth of Jewels. Women

H Was Acting.
Stephen' Phillips, the dramatist and
poet, began life as a member of F. It.
Benson's repertoire company. . An
amusing story Is told of his debut. Mr.
Benson had told him that the great
thing for an actor Is to act. "It does
not matter," he continued, "so much
what the words are which the actor
speaks as the Impression which he con
voys to the audience by those words."
Then he gave Mr. I'hllllps the port of
Balthazar iu "Romeo and Juliet." On
the first night Balthazar managed the
first line of his part and then forgot
the rest. Romeo, lu the person of Mr.
Benson, bad to go to bis assistance
and speak the rest of the part for him,
while Balthazar exhibited an agony of
speechless grief. "What do you mean,"
Mr. Benson afterward demanded, "by
going on the stage without knowing
your part?" "I 'was only doing what
you told me. You said the great thing
on the stage was not so much the
words you speak us to act. Well, I
was acting." Loudon Tit-Bits.

that "in the severe winter of that year
a bouse was built of ice taken from
the river Neva which was fifty feet
long, slxteeu feet wide and twenty
feet high, and the walls supported the
roof, which was ulso of ice. Before It
stood two Ice mortars and six Ice can

carriages and wheels also of Ice. The
cannon were of the caliber of six

with one-quarter pouud of powder and
with bemp balls on one occasion with

only four inches, and yet it resisted I

Tricks of 8hort Sight,
Not only tbe Inanimate but the aul

forms to the myopic. Humanity, for I.

even as headless, as the borseniuu of

work is commenced the faker assem

clearance at the edge of the forest and
erects a number of huts. In which be
places Images of certain deities. After
offerings have been presented to tbe
images tbe particular forest Is declar
ed to be free of tigers, and tbe wood
cutters In virtue of the presents they
have made to the deities are supposed
to be under their special protection.
If after all these precautions a tiger
seizes one of tbe party the faker
speedily takes his departure without
waiting to offer superfluous explana
