the confidence Of the country. He said the
Governments first care would be to satisfy
the wish of the Chamber by applying the
law of 1894, under which Princes would be
deprived Of their military posts. The Gov
eminent thought nothing more was neces-
saEy for the present. The Republic was not
endangered, and in the event of conspiracy,
would have ample power to protect itself by
rights inherent in all governments without
infringing upon the essential liberties Of the
people.

Practical jokes are Objectionable enough
under any circumstances, but, as some
times played by actors on the stage, they
are simply criminal A case in point ID
furnished by curious action now before
the civil tribunal of the Seine.
Mdlle. Lima Munte and Mdlle. Helene
Peris were both engaged in "L'Assom-
moir" at the Ambigu theatre. and in the
scene at the wash house it was the duty of
the former actress to throw pail Of cold
water over the latter. Even realism,
however, has its limits, and the water
was always made lukewarm, 1ntil one
night Mdlle. Munte threw real cold water
as practical joke. This exquisite pleas.
antry was the cause Of an attack of p0eu-
monia, from which Mdlle. Helene Petit,
or, as she really was, Nine. Marais, died.
N. Marais, her husband, who is . young
and succs ssful actor at the Gymnase,
threw up his part the other day with
out assigning any reason, and the
action now being tried is one brought
by the manager of the Gymnase Q
against him for damages. He is being dc.
Tended by the celebrated advocate, Maitre
Clery, ard the defense is that Mile. Munte
had been engaged for the same piece, and
that NJ. Marias could not bring himself to
act scenes full of love and tenderness
with the young lady whose practical joke
had caused his wife's fatal illness. The
court has not yet given its decision, but
NJ. Marais was certainly wise to throw up
his part An actor sometimes loses self
control and he might have been tempted to
avenge his wift's death.
