writes, -'the noise of The ,rr movements

how clearly every noise Is conducted in the

Lnfnyett0'B 'I'onln.

All Americans should make pilgrimage
to the last resling-placc Of the great Lafay-
ette at the cemetery Of Picpus, Paris. 1t
has been said that it became necessary to
abandon this cemetery because it was
gorgcd with dead. This is TN error; the
room was not lacking, but the place OF in-
tcrmcnt was badly situated in the midst of
a quarter thlnly populated, but rich; 1t was
beside the "subjcct of the diatribcs of the
aristocrats and OF the contre revolutioniste.n
Tho result was its removal. During tho
carly part of the Reign of Terror, a cemo-
terry beng needed, choice was made Of O
sort Of desert, which backing up against
the very walls of La Folic Chartres, that is
TO say the Pare. .Monceau Of to-day, was
bounded by the old wall d'cncicntc tho Rue
Valois and the Rue du Roche. This was
called the Cemetery de Mousscaux, as
known officially, but all the people Of La
Petite Pologne called it the "Cimetiero dos
Errancis." 1t was "inauguratcd" in July,
1905, by the burial of Charlotte Corday,
one OF the very first to be inferred there.
IL received also all the ''hard cases" Of tho
revolution. The cemetery was very soon
closed and never again used. Before tho
18Th Brumaire no moro intermcnts were
made there and it's very existence seemed
u be ignored. A "cabarct" was estab-
fishcd on it's site, and people drank, sang,
and danced there. The annexation of that
suburb of Paris caused this "petit Tivoli"
to disappear. The construction Of tho
Boulevard Maleshcrbes and the extending
Of the Rue Miromcnil scattered nearly tho
last remains of this ancient cemetery. All
that ~ left of 1t now Is a fragment close TO
the walls, and some ball players come
together there occasionally to enjoy them
selves Picpus, La Madeleine and Les
Errancis were, therefore, the three deposit
tarics Of the victims OF the guillotine.

Marriage rees III ASussil.

A schoolmate III the district of lucknow,
Russia was engaged to wed the daughter
of u landowner in the neighborhood, whose
wealth was not at all proporlionatc to his
acres. The bridgcgroolI, bride and the
parents of the latter called on the priest of

amount OF the wedding fee. The clergy.
man fixed 1t at twenty five roubles. I'm
happily, the BRIDES father was determined
TO make show more In accordance with
his ancestral dignity than with his impov-
crishcd condition, and invited all his KIN
sfolk and acquaintance from far and near

that the procession to the church included
no fewer than eleven carriages, all full of
wedding guests. When the priest saw
this magnificent preparation, he hurried TO
the bridegroom, and informed him that

when they reached the church, and asked
the price Of the saccrdotal function, the
parish priest was ready with tho reply,
"One hundred roubles." The procession
