surprise at this treatment, was informed
that Sheridan's sermon had heon, from
beginning to end, a personal attack upon
Mr.. -, who had rendered himself very
unpopular by his harsh conduct to the
poor, and to whom the congregation had
applied every sentence the preacher had
uttered. The sermon is preserved, but

Of the ass, while his companion drove
the animal away. The owner, on
his return, was not little aston
ished to find his beast gone, and a
hermit standing harnessed in its gear.
Still more was he amazed when he heard
Turpin devoutly thanking God for the
return of his human shape. "At length
exclaimed the hermit, my sins are ior-
given me, and my penance is expired.

The white Flag of France.

The Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Times writes to that journal: "A
book just published by NJ. Gustave Des-
jardins, on the French national en-
blems, has revived the question mooted
nearly two years ago as to the historical
claims Of the White Flag NJ. Desjar-
dins contends thar up to 1889 France
had no national flag, but that every regi-
ment had its own standard decorated
with white badge, the old Hugenot
symbol which was adopted by Henri ".
AS for the white cornet which he regards
as the ancestor of the White Flag, it
was introduced in the middle of the
sixteenth century as sfgn of superior
command. But Charles TX. and Henry
~. we're the only Kings who used it,
though up to the Revolution every col
onel was entitled to display it. The
cockade varied in different regiments;
but in 1867 the infantry received white
cockade, and under Louis XVI. it was
extended to the cavalry. In the navy,
both blue and red were originally hoisted,
then blue alone; while Louis XVI. re-
served the White Flag for his own yes.
sci, allowing merchant vessels, however,
to employ it, coupled with some distinc-
tive badge. In the eighteenth century
merchant vessels universally adopted
the White Flag. The colors of Paris,
red and blue, displayed after the fall OF
the Bastile, formed, in conjunction with
the white cockade of the troops, the
tricolor cockade, and the colors becom-
ing national were transferred to the
flags M. Desjardins intimates that the
Emigres and Vendeans were mistaken
in regarding the White Flag as the en-.
sign of Henry ~ The Legitimists,
however, cite the authority of Favyn,
1920, who mentioned the white cornet
as the national color and Beneton, 1889
who gives still more empolitic testimony
to the same effect They also appeal
to Lafayette's Memoirs which state
that he proposed to the tricolor instead
Of the blue and red, because the latter
formed the Orleans livery, and because
he wished to nationalize the old French
color, white, by combining it with the
colors of the Revolution. They urge
also that, even after the tricolor was
adopted for the cockade, the White Flag
was unfurled above the King in the AS
sembly in 1890, and was retained by
Colonels of regiments till 1871; while
the Assembly, in decreeing in 1890 that
the tricolor should be adopted by the
navy, distinctly incited that the White
Flag had up to that time been the'naval
ensign. The Journal Oficiel and the
0rleanist Soleil side with NJ. Desjardins,
while the Union insists that the Comte
de Chambord was under no mistake in
mailing the White Flag to his mast The
former would fain prove the tricolor to
be of older date than its competitor, for
they maintain that the French arms un-
der Louis XIV, showed three feur de-lys
hags-red, white and blue-grouped on
each side SO as the form the tricolor,
while the Legitimists lay stress on the
white cornet, and on the use of white
scarfs, plumes and cockades.

Shocking Facts About Boston Ladies'
From the Boston Tines
Ladies who patronize our jewelry, dry
goods and similar establishments some
times do it in a way that is anything but
pleasing and profitable to the proprie-
tors. The latter, anxious to accommo-
date, often permit customers to take to
their homes articles which they cannot
decide to purchase at the stores. We
have read Of jewellers recognizing their
flashing diamonds, thus temporarily en-
trusted to some fair customer, upon the
evening before it was returned, with the
conclusion regretfully expressed that
they won't suit" and the vendors
Of costly shawls, elegant sacques
and other garments have even recog
nized their goods doings duty on
special occasions, to be returned next
day by the wearers, with the assurance
that they we're compelled to state, re
gretfully, of course, that they won't do
at all. We had supposed that New York
alone furnished the parties who perpe-
trated such jokes upon the gallant
traders; but such is not the case. Re-
Gently a nice velvet garment was sent to
the house of lady customer from one
of the dry goods firms of this city, she
desiring to give it a critical examination.
1t was returned with good sized cut in
it, which the customer had attempted to
stick together with some adhesive sub.
stance. In making her pattern from
the newest Partisan model she had un-
luckily nearly spoiled the garment.
Still another lady wished to examine an
elegant new velveteen sacque just from
Paris, and it was sent by well known
dry goods firm to her home. 1t came
back to the store with dish OF egg yolk
upon it about the size of the British
Isles in an ordinary map of Europe.
Whenever she had worn the garment
she had unconsciously plowed through
the omelette in passing the butter or the
apple sauce to her next neighbor. We
have but one comment to make. Don I
do such things, ladies, especialIy-es-
pecially Boston ladies; but if you must
do so, keep the borrowed sleeves out oftbe
velveteen. Then the statesmen and pro-
prietors will die in utter ignorance.of
your little pranks.
