How the Partisan Bellies Dance

France and teach natives how to walk.
There are tive things which the
French can. learn proftably from
those dreadful Americans how
TO dance and how to walk. The French
do not yet know which side Of the
walk to take when they meet one an
other. If il rains and they have no
umbrella. of course they hug the wall.
If it is clear and they meet you in a
narrow place, they seem undecided
whether to take the inside OF the out
side, and after confusing you for some
seconds they end usually by squeezing
in between you aud the house front.

many males seom to imagine hal the
correct thing IS to rush ia between

called the golden mean between
the two extremes. But it is a mean

them, therefore. that it should be
known that they were as indignant last
Saturday afternoon at the conduct of
Mile Bernhardt as the audience that
she disappointed. Talent, great talent,
Sarah undoubtedly has, and there
is something that appeals irresistibly
to the imagination in the fierce
energy with which she tries to excel in
every department Of art. But il
would seem that she is becoming
intoxicated by the fumes of the in
cense that is burned before her. At
the lord mayors luncheon her beha-
vior was not polite; the other day she
made a large party, including royalty,
wait for above an hour before she
condescended to appear in the silly
little piece for a private representa-
ton, for which she received EGO, and
new she has gone a step further and
outraged a large audience by her
capricious folly. Is all this entirely her
fault, or is it not in part ours? We
have made too much of her. As an.
actress | admit that too much praise
cannot be layished on her. But we
should not have encouraged her to let
herself out for large sums as a dccoy
duck, nor should we have good
naturedly taken au scricux her pre-
tensions as a painter, for to tell the
real truth her paintings are little
better than the efforts Of an Mintelli-
gent girl of fourteen who has had a
few lessons while as for her preten-
sions to literature, they are, to Judge
by one of her feuilletons which is
being translated in the Illustrated
Sporting and Dramatic News, beneath
contempt.

to the London Times complaining Of
a previously printed letter signed

ciSed her recent failure to appear
when announced. She declares that
she was really seriously i'll, and adds
that the English public, which has
been so good to her, must not any
Longer believe that she is lacking in

she yves it. AS for my nerves,

An Aged and Historic Ship.
New York journal OF Commerce.


The ship which carried William H.,
Prince of Orange, To England, when he
went to take possession oftne monarchy,
had long life. Ii was named the
Princess Mary, and was built ON the
Thames. 1t was more than half II cen
fury old when William landed from
her at Torbay, Nov. 4, 1858. She WAS
eighty feet five inches long, twenty
thee feet broad, double decked, with
two masts, square. rugged. Her earlier
name is said To have been Brill, but
this, we believe, is not established.
She was christened the Princess Mary,
after the Kings consort, when she was
selected 10 bear the fortunes of the
monarch to his new kingdom. During
the whole of his reign and that Of his
successor, Queen Anne, she was used
rs royal pleasure yacht, aud was kept
in thorough order, some Of the repairs
being quite extensive. In 17l4, when
the vessel came into possession Of
George l., she ceased by his order TO
form part of the royal estab-
llshmert. About 1850 in fit
of economy, the government sold her
to the MessrS. Walters, OF London, who
chrlstened her the Betsy Gains, after u
fayorite West India belle of that name.
After score or more of years in the
West India trade, during which she was
known AZ II stanch vessel and fast
sailer, she was sold to Messrs. Carlins,
of London, who employed her as a
collier to take Goals from Newcastle to
the great metropolis. About the yea
1925, more than two centuries probably
from the date she was launched, she
was purchased by Mr.. George Finch
Wilson, Of South Shields. On the 18th
of February, 1927, she was taking "A
cargo of Goals from Shields to Hamburg,
and struck upon the Black Mdderns, "A
dangerous reef OF rocks north of the
mouth Of the Tyne, where a few days
afterward she became total wreck.
Her remains were eagerly purchased,
ard innumerable snulI.boxes and other
souvenirs were made from the old oak
that had been SO indestructible through
more than two hundred years.
