During some recent excavations a;
Saint Gervals, France, an urn was acci
dentslly broken, exposing 20 view seven
thousand silver coins. Although bearing
no date, the Greek inscriptions, inter
mixed with Latin, suggested that they
were struck long before the commence
nlent of the Christian era, when Mar
seilles was the center of commerce, art,
snd civilization. The coins are in 8
/ wonderful state Of preservation, and on
one side bear the stamp OF MassiliR in
half Greek, half Latin characters.
Edward FraedeT says, in his 'fReni-
niscences of 1S4S, - that when the Arch
duchess Sophia, of Austria, in 1913, first
told her son Francis Joseph, then 8
/ gEwky, and by no means PrecOcious LAD,
that he was to ascend the imperial
throne, her son was by no means pleased
with the prospect, but wept and cried,
Z and downright coercion had to be re-
I sorted to in order TO obtain mis- consent.
/ The poor imperial lad was afraid that his

he should become the successor of his
wonderfully gifted and bright uncle, the

/ -Haussrsnn, the rehuilder Of Paris, and
I the most unpopular man in France, has
made a seriQHs blunder by changing the
name of Economy street in Paris, to
/ Haussmsnn street. The Paris papers say
/ that be has hit the nail on its head.
/ Economy street would be bad name for
4 any street in HsusmsnniZed Paris, and
! that he could not have better expressed
/ the opposite than by giving his own
! name TO the street. They mention in
| this connection that FOuid, the late Min
lister Of France, one day said Of Hsuss-
mann: /" He is the greatest fellow to
/ squander other peoples money"
Harriet Elizabeth Georgiana, Dowa-
ger Duchess Of Sutherland, whose death
is announced, was the third daughter OF
the third Earl of Carlisle, ard was born
ia 1905. She was married on Monday
q, 1923, to the late Duke of Sutherland,
who then bore the title of Earl Cover.
She was Mistress Of the Robes to Queen
Victoria, under the Liberal ministries,
until her husbands death, February %,
1861. The late Duchess greatly distin-
guished herself by her active support of

liberal encouragement OF the fine arts.
The thread used in Brussels lace is Of
extraordinary fineness; it is made of
fax grown at Brsbsnt, at Bal, and Re-
bscq ROgnou. The finest quality is spun
ia dsrB Underground rooms, for contact
with the dry air causes the thread to
break; so fine is it as almost to escape
the sight The feel of the thread, as il
passes through the finger, is the sUTest
guide. The thread spinner closely eX-
Rmines every inch drawn from her dis
tsff, and when any inequality occurs,
stoDs the wheel to repair the mischief.
Every artificial helps given to the eye
d background OF dark paper is piaced to
throw out the thread, AID the room so sr-
ranged as not to admit one single ray Of
light upon the work. Il is the Eneness
OF the thread which renders the real
Brussels ground, called Urai TsSeau, so
costly.
The ladies must not suppose that the
small size Of the bOunets al present in
vogue is wholly without q parallel.
Even il it be 8 rosebud fastened with
GWo strsws," the women Of yOre have
had them quite as dimln1tiye. There is
in Taunton Museum 2 hesd-dress more
than q century old, very much like one
Of the present fashion. The bonnet
itself is about the size Of small tea
saucer, constructed Of fiue lace-which
was once white-with flowers OF blue,
white and pale orange and the strings
8Te composed of rowe Of small Circleis Of
lace joined at the edges, esch containing
q tiny bud in the center. We have no
evidenee as 20 who the fair owner was,
but We gives this account OF her duck
OF bOnnet": Uncle George G0ldfbch
brought me from Paris, as token Of his
love, q little cap, ruff and collar, called

One Of The Paris cafes to which the
greatest number Of literary souvenirs is
8ttached-the Cafe Talma-in the Pass
age Choiseul, hss just been sold for the
sum CT 2Sj0f. Many years sgs il was the
rendezvous of Frederic Soulie, Baizsc,
Theopbile Gautier, Alphonse Karr,
Henri Monnier. TIE actors Of the old
Theatre de Ia Renaissance used TO gather
there after the nights work was over,
slOng with the authors whose pieces they
pIsvSd. After midnight the noise OF
talking, laughter, and the ciinking OF
glasses used to re-echO from the rooms
aboVe. How many witty things have
been said there, says an English paper,
ard what q tale those old walls would
nave to tell If they coulG speak It was
there that Dumas the elder first related
the marvellous adventures Of the young
captain MsTseiiles, loDg before Monte
CristOn became famous. Nowadays a
very different company freguents the old
cafe, and nothing, save the portrait of
Talms, remsins 10 tell Of its bygOne
popularity. The name Of even the Illus
tri0us trsgedian has been effsced from
over the door.
The Revue des Deux M0ndes has
some curious statements respecting the
consumption Of Paris. In the large ly-
ceUms and schools Of Paris, boys are
generally very wasteful; they will throw
away half the bread they get for lunch,
tread upon it, kick it into the gutter, ink
If, etc. None Of these fragments are lost
the servants sell them 10 certain dealers
who are called 6C1tlGageTS en- UiettJ, and
turn their acquisitions to good account
They first pick out all the tolerable pieces,
which they best in an oven and then rssp
clean; thus prepared, these bite re appear
in the market in the shape of toast for
COUP. Most OF the crOlttOnS (crustl cut
into lozeDges and served on the tables Of
the rich with spinach have no other
origin. AS for the dirty crum os sDd re-
fuse left after4hs picking, they are pOun-
ded in q mortar and sold to butchers as
chGpeture, with which they cover their
outlets and knuckles OF ham. The really
filthy remainder, which is too bad even
fcr chdpeJtlre, is blackened over q fire,
pounded, aRd then mixed up with honey
aroInstized with few drops OF essence
Of peppermint; this is sold rs an opiate
for the tOOthsche.
"A German correspondent OF the
FFeischlLets says: " What q pity that
the beautiful Danish princesses should
be married 10 such men Rs the Prince Of
Wales and the Grand Duke hereditary

rake, and the latter scTOfulOus youth. /
