Actor and Emperor.
vice.

The following anecdote is related APP
rOpos of the Russian Emperor Nicholas,
father of the reigning Gar, whose
fondness for the stage and artistes led
him to institute Theatre Francais at
st. Petersburg. He always treated the
actors with great kindness, almost
bordering on intimacy. The Emperor
often took long solitary walks, and, to
prevent troubling the tranquility of his
promenade, it was strictly forbidden to
address a word or present petition to
him under pain of fine or imprisonment.
One day a comedian met the Emperor,
and, removing his hat, bowed respect
fully. 1t happened that this actor was
a particular favOrite Of the monarch,
and on the day in question was to ap-
pear in new piece.
"Ahl is that your" said Nicholas,
"Well, my friend, hope you are going
to make us laugh tonight"
"Sire, shall do my best to please
YOU" was the reply.
Well, well, trust to you,' said the
Emperor

spoke Of the smallness of the trees
in Paris. There is some reason to sus-
pect that dwarfing process has been
going on in the size Of the people.
France has been selecting all her men
of best physique for her army and go
dcpriving them of families, and killing
them off, leaving only the inferior stock
to propagate the species. Napoleon's
wars for whole generation kept weed
ing out and destroying the largest and
strongest men of the empire; and the
results have been what might have
been expected. The standard height
for enlistment has had to be reduced
again and again, until it is now less
than five feet. How this process, long
continued, must tell not only upon the
phySjgue but the mOrdie of a nation, one
can easily see. The strong and the
brave are all killed of, the runts, the
hump-backed and the ellemnaie propa-
gate the species. The only wonder is
that nation so treated can survive.

THE FALSE ORACLE.
By MARY AISGE DE WERE

She picked little daisy flower
With fringe Of snow and heart OF gold
All pure without, and warm within,
And stood 10 have her fortune told.
"He loves me" low she musing said,
And plucked the border leaf by leaf;
"a little-too much-not at all
With truest heart-beyond belief"
"a little-too much-not at ALL
SO rang the changes DER aud DER;
The tiny leaflets fluttered down,
And strewed the meadows grassy floor.
"a little-too much-not at all
With truest heart"-oh, magic brief
All, foolish task, TO measure ont
Loves value on dasiy leaf.
For as she pulled the latest left
With mot at all, heard her say
"Ah. much you know, yeu silly flower,
He'll love me till his dying day."

to commence, Nicholas, like Loui,
XIV, disliked waiting, but the per.
formance does not begin. An aide-de-
camp is dispatched to inquire the cause
of the delay. He soon returns, and an
nOunces that the comedian has failed to
put in his appearance. A search is in
stituted-the actor has disappeared
The Emperor summons the General of
Police. Questioned by his majesty, he
knows nothing of the whereabouts of

Thereupon, all the agents of police
are set to work, and with such success
that at the end of three minutes the
General of Police cOmes and announces
to his imperial majesty that the actor
has been incarcerated for having dared
to address him i'm the street. The Soy

When the actor found himself a
prisoner, his fury had been uncontroll-
able. But by degrees he had calmed
down, and had determined to abide the
course of events, making no effort to
regain his liberty. When he appeared
on the stage, the Emperor himself gave
the signal for the ovation which greeted
him. The assembly had learned the
whole affair, and was literally cOuvulsed
with laughter at the serious face the
comedian wore.
At the end Of the performance he was
conducted to the imperial box.
