An English Warehouses, resident in the
Legitimist fabourg, and avoiding the Ma
poleonites as low" gave grand parties. To
one of these an English lady took, uninvit-
ed, pretty French woman, friend of the
Empress. This pretty woman made herself
conspicuous by her prettiness and tiirtations
but the Warehouses found out who she was
and was disguised. She said TO her:
II am SO conscious of the honor you have
done me in visiting me, that | dare not
expect REPETITION of the unexpected COM
pliment.'
The pretty woman grew pale, but smiled
and orderd cavalier to order her carriage.
The pretty woman was clever, and messed
red yenge. She bribed the marchioness
femme de chambre to give her the list of
guests invited for the next solree.
Armed with this she prepared a
circnlar note. which she dis
patched to each of the invited late in the af-
ternoon of the appointed day; "Ihe mar
chioness presents her compliments to so and
so and regrets that domestic calamity will
prevent her etc. She then went to great
Mad Doctor representing herself as the
daughter of the marchioness, and acting with
the consent of her ladyship's family; she rep
resented that her mother, the marchioness, was
afflicted with insanity, and her madness was
in the delusion that she was always having
great parties. For instance, if Monsieur the
doctor would go to her ladyship's hotel that
evening he would find her dressed in great
splendor, with the salon illuminated, adorned
with flowers. and buffets covered with re-
freshments.
The doctor went. on the understanding
that he was to obtain the proper police
authority to take the marchionness TO Malson
DeSante in the event that the representa-
ton made to him being confirmed by his
own observation. He arrived at 10 in the
evening; he was the frst--the only-guesti
and, though the marchiones did not remem-
Der his name, she took it for granted that
she had invited him, and was
profusely civil. His manner puzzled and
his questions startled her. and as he
grew abrupt as his perception of her lunacy
became more clear, she was at last offended
and rang for her servants. At the same
time he made the proper intimation of his
police authority; and the end of the story
is, that she was taken off by the doctor In
mysteries, and detained as prisoner in his
ASYLUM until the whole truth came out. All
Paris was in roars, and the pretty fiirt was
heroine forever. Protected by her august
friend she escaped retaliation,-a British
machoiness ia too grand for wit.

On Skatin'.

My friend, little Johnnie, sends me the
following aneCdOte, suitable, he thinks,
to the Winter season; "There amt no
place like CalifOrny for skatin'. First
thing boy does is to buy a skate, and
when he gets bigger, and more money,
he biZe a other, and girls, too. And when
there is frost everybody takes their
skates and goes and stands around a
pond waitin' for it to be ice and git
drownded. Well, once there was a ole
man a cryin' like his heart was busted,
and the dOckter he come, and he said,
the dOckter did, 'WOt is the matter?
Take a pill Then the ole man, he said,
NO, it is Jest I am a ruin man. and the
dOckter he said, Take two pills. But
the old feller he shuke his head, savin'.
1t amt that; wOt ails me is blasted hops
and wasted opportunities and the dOl
ter said, Oh, that's it! Then you must
have xercise; git a pair Of skates to once
Wen the dOkter had said that the ole
man he stude up and luked at the dOkter
and said, Away! you have come to tont
mel Coz it's them skates that has done
it. Wen Twas little l bot a pair, and I've
KEEP them to this day, but not anyice yet;
andIve been fgern it up and find if
Ide put the money out to interest l
wud now be a rich naybob, a livin in a
Willy at the North Pole, where it is gud
skatin ol the year round. AvOnt!" Wen
the ole man had sed so he thrOde out his
feet rite and left, like skatin, and set
down ker-plump, and pushed his fingers
up thrO his hair, wich made it stand out,
and hollered, 'Ha, ha!' and nasht his
teeth fritefe. Then the dokter he bakt
of the dokter did, and snaked his head,
and said, Take black draft!'" 49,

We would rather be poor and merry
than inherit the wealth of the Indies
with adisCOntentedspirit. A merry heart
aCheerful spirit from which laughter wells
up naturally as bubbles in the springs of
Saratoga, are worth all the money bags
stock and mortgages in the city. The
man who laughs is a doctor with diplO-
ma, endorsed by the school of nature
his face does more good in a sick room
than pound of powders or a gallon of
bitter draughts. If things go right, he
laughs because he is pleased; if they 60
wrong he laughs because it is cheaper
and better than crying. People are
always glad to see him, their hands in
stinctively go half way out to meet his
grasp, while they urn Involuntary from
the Clammy touch of the dyspeptic who
speaks on the groaning key. He laughs
you out of your faults, while you never
dream Of being offended with him. It
seems as # sunshine came into the room
with him, and you never know what a
pleasant world you are living in until he
points out the sunny strealls on its path
way. Who can help loving the whole
sOuled, genial laugher2 Not the bUffOOn,
nor the man who classes noise with
mirth-but the CHEEKY, contented man of
sense and mindl A gOOd-humOred laugh
is the key to all breasts. The truth is,
that people like to be laughed at in a
genial sort of a way. If you are making
yourself ridiculous, you want to be told
of it in pleasant manner, not sneeTed
at. And it is astonishing how frankly
the laughing population can talk without
treading on the sensitive toes of their
neighbOrs. Why Will people put on long
faces, when it is so much easier and more
comfortable to laugh? Tears come to us
unsought and unbidden. The wisest art
in life is to cultivate smiles; and to find
the smiles where others shrink away for
fear of thOTns.

The OLD WORLD AND THE NEW.-AleX-
andria is so little of an Eastern city that
it Is difficult sometimes to believe that it
is one of the capitals Of a Mahomedan
country and one of the chief cities of the
Ottoman Empire. As one walks round
the great square and notices the bread
pavements, the frequent gas-lamps, the
lofty houses, the spacious shops, the
crowd of carriages, the Frank costumes,
one feels quite Western. But yCU turn q
corner and straightWay stumble against
a camel with his nOiseless tread, and a
man in blue gown offers to sell you
sherbet in the name of Allah; and you
see a narrow little opening in the wall
and men gOIngin and out with their shoes
IN their hand, and you pass in and see
a broad space covered with mating,
where people are PROSTATE in pray er, and
up above is a little minaret, where an cid
man in white cotton quavers out the in
vitat'On, and tells YOU there is no God
I but Allah, and that prayer is better than
sleep. AS you 60 on you see money
changers in the street, letter-Writers
doing the correspondence of a dozen,
cross legged dsChOOlmasterst teaching their
children to reCite the FatWah, the chap
ter Of the Koran that all must know as
we know the Lords Prayer; you turn
into police court and listen to a long
rObed Cadi administering justice to half
a dozen screaming men and women; and
then suddenly you come upon big ware
houses full of goods, stores piled with
cotton, steam presses turning out hun
dreds Of bales per day, a great market
where English, italian, and Greek are
almost the only languages you hear, and
a port crowded with shipping Of every
nation.

Intellectual Test of Nations.

So far as the general ability of the peo-
pie of a nation to read and write is a
proof of their superior enlightenment
the Americans have no rivals in all the
world. As readers we lead ali nations
We are 100000. The population of
England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland is
100000; of France, 96,O00,000, of Ger
many, 100000. In 1870 there were
published in the United States 574 daily,
1895 weekly and 1902 other papers and
periodicals. In 1877 the figures were:
daiies, 700; Weekies, 622I; all others.
1014, total, 1914. England has but 2252,
Germany but 1885, France but 1859, and
Italy but 935. The total for the four
nations, embracing an aggregate pOpula-
ton of 137, 100000, IS but 6,731, or 1918
less than supplies the American pOpula-
ton of 100000. The distribution of
our daily and weekly papers among the
several States is instructive. They are
not by any means appOriOned according
tOpOpulatiOn, though New York is always
first. 1t appears that New York has 81
dailies. Pennsy 'vainia comes next, with
IS; Illinois third, with AZ and curiously
enough, California fourth, with 43. In
that State of less than $4,000 of the
European race, they have 4 more dailies
than Ohio, with her 100000, 15 more
than Massachusetts or Indiana, II more
than Missouri, 20 more than Iowa, as
many lacking one as Wisconsin, Virginia
and Georgia combined, and more than
eight times as many as either Minnesota,
Delaware or Oregon. If then, the read
ing of current publications is an ire
frsrgibIe test of the superior instruction
of a community, generally, the pOpula-
ton Of California stands at the very
summit Of modern civilization, so says a
California Exchange.

The Kind Of Religion we Want.

We want a religion that softens the
step, and tunes the voice to melody, and
fills the eye with sunshine, and checks
the impatient exclamation and harsh re-
buke "a religion that is polite, deferential
to sUperiOTs, courteous to interiors, and
considerate to friends, q religion that
goes into the family, and keeps the hus-
band from being cross when dinner is
late, and keeps his wife from fretting
when the husband tracks the newly
washed floor with his muddy boots, and
makes the husband mindful of the scrap
er and the door mat; keeps the mother
patient when the baby is cross, and
amuses the children as well as instructs
them; cares for the servants besides pay
ing them promptly, projects the honey
moon into the harvest-mOOn, and makes
the happy home like the eastern fig-tree,
bearing in its bosom at once the beauty
of the tender blossom and the glory of
the Tipened fruit. We want a religion
that shall interpose between the ruts and
gulies and rocks of the highway of life
and the sensitive souls that are travelling
over them,

By the President of the United
States, a Proclamation:
A recurrence Of that season at
which it is the habit Of our people to
make devOut and public confession
Of their constant dependence upon
Divine favor for all good gifts Of life,
OF happiness, and Ofpublic peace and
prosperity, exhibits in the record Of

gratitude and Thanksgiving. Exu-

manufactures, have enriched the eoun.
try. The resources thus furnished
to our reUving industry and expand
ing commerce are fastening the day
when discords and distress through
the length and breadth of the land
will, under the continued favor Of
Providence, have given way to conf
dence and energy and assured pros

remained unbrOken domestic tran
quility has prevailed, and the insti-
tutiOns Of liberty and Justice, which
the wisdom and virtue of our fathers
established, remain the glory and de-
fense of their children. The general
prevalence of the blessings of health
through our wide land has made
more conspicuous the suffering and
sorrow which the dark shadow Of pes
thence has cast upon a portion of
our people. This heavy aflietion
even the Divine Ruler has tempered
to the suffering communities in the
universal sympathy and the sUccor
which have flowed to their relief,
and the whole nation may rejoice in
the unity Of spirit in our people by
which they eheerfuly share one an
others burdens.
"Now, therefore, I, Rutherford B.
Hayes, President ofthe United States,
do appoint Thursday, the 2Sth day
Of November next, as a day Of nation
al thanksgiving and prayer, and I
earnestly recommend that, withdraw
ing themselves from secular cares
and labors, the people Of the United
States do meet together on that day
in their respective places Of worship,
there to give thanks and praise to
Almighty God for His mercies, and
to devoutly beseech their continuance.
