that Massachusetts has been "cul-

London World.l
While drawing the illustration for
"Our Mutual Friend" it happened
that Marcus Stone had the privile e
of suggesting a character to Dickens
or perhaps it would be more accu-
rate to say, investing a character with
strange external attributes. Dickens
required Mr.. Venus for bis story, but
was in doubt what occupation to give
him. 1t must be something strange,
weird, grotesque-an uncommon call
ing; if CHASTITY, so much the better.
1t was required to "dress" Mr.. Venus,
so to speak. The question was put
over Dickens dinner table and his
young friend at once suggested a
prepared skeleton and man who wired
up" dead animals for artists. Dickens
jumped at the idea at once, and the
preparer of skeletons could not think
who the quiet gentleman was who
came in with his customer and waited
so long while his friend showed him
self very difficult to please. Only
the other day Mr.. Stone paid a visit
to the prototype of Mr.. Venus to got
some doves wired up to paint from
in his picture Married for Love"
but found that Mr.. Venus own skel-
eton has been underground for some
time-the clever naturalist" was
dead. His name was Willis, and he
lived in Seven Dials.

A Paris Fancy.

A peasant ball Is one of the fancies of fashionable Paris. No expense is spared to give it the proper rustic coloring. All the elegant Parisian furniture is cleared away to give place to deal benches, three-legged stools, and the like; the walls are hung with evergreen garlands and streamers, and in the center the hostess, in all her village bravery stands receiving her guests, supported by a knot of country officials-the mayor and the municipal council. Everything is in keeping; even the beef and cider, which hide the champagne on the rus. tic refreshment stall, and the accessories of the inevitable cotillion. After the dance there is supper, at which dis tinguished poets, artists. dramatists and civilians are gathered together and make brief and funny speeches. The health of the hostess is duly proposed and she returns thanks ia her traditional style.

BECAUSE native woman had been de- liyered of twins the Indian seers prophe- sled that unless one of them died the seals would not come again to the seal ing grounds on the British Columbia coast. So the parents carried the babes into the bush, and began course of in- cantation and starvation. In the midst of the rites, father Nicolai of the Roman Catholic mission suddenly appeared and induced the parents to give the babes proper nourishment. The twins lived, the catch of seals was uncommonly large, and the seers have lost all prestige in fine village.
