"A Piantagenet Cobbier.

The rapidity with which royal and
noble blood may, under adverse circum-
stances, filter down to the lowest strata
of society is strikingly exemplifed by
the following facts: The last male
Plantagenet, Edward, Earl of Warwick
nephew of Edward the ", and SOL
of George, Duke Of Clarence, who
was popularity supposed to have been
drowned in a butt of malsmey-was
beheaded in 1893. In him and his sis
ter, Margaret Pole-the Countess OF
Salisbury, who was bcheaded in 154l-
several royal descentS converged.
Margaret Pole left a daughter, Ursula,
whose husband, Henry, Lord Stafford
could also boast Of several royal de-
scents through both his father and
mother, being son and heir of Edward
De Stafford, third Duke of Buckingham,
by Eleanor Percy, daughter OF Henry,
fourth Earl of Northumberland. Rich
ard, the third son of Henry, Lord
Stafford, and Ursula Pole, had a son
Roger and adaughter Jane. The latter
married a joiner, and had a son who
was a working cobbler at Newport, in
1857, in which year her brother Roger
became entitled to succeed to the Stat
ford barony, though compelled by
Charles /. TO relinquish his claim to Il
on account Of his poverty.

French Horse-Cars.

|
IAN amusing feature of Paris to a
foreigner is the horse cars. The ap-
pearance of the car, driver and conduc-
tor would almost assure one that they
had been imported from America, but
certain rules to be observed in running
the cars, very quickly remind him that
he is in France. The cars are are al
lowed to carry only a certain number
OF paSsengeIs-ten standing on the plat
form and as many in the car as are al
lowed tohave seats. Those inside pay
90 confines (ten cents) and those on
the outside % confines. When a car
has Its complement, the gates are shut,
a sign is hung out reading 'COmplit,'
and no one can enter. During the busy
time of b eday, between 5 and 6 O'Clock
when crowds are waiting for a car, it
is necessary to apply at the office for a
numbered ticket. For instance, say
you applied and received No. 81. You
walt for a car, and the driver, when
ready, commences to call me deuG,
trols, and 50 on until he reaches your
number, when you must be ready to
enter; II not, you must procure another
ticket and wait your Turn again. The
system has its advantages as well as
disadvantages, and the French think it
a great thing, but the amusing part of
it to foreigners is the calling of the
numbers, and unless one is pretty well
up IN French, he is very apt to get left
and has TO so ana get another ticket.
Instead of ringing a bell like our con-
ductor, they use "a kind of horn, which
is attached to the dashboard and blown
by a rubber bell which the driver pos
sesses. The sound, which is not unlike
that of a COW horn, can be heard dis
tlnetly for a block. 1t is not unobjec-
tionable unless the instrument happens
to be out of order, and then it is very
unmuSical. The cars are a great con-
v%enience and are literally ~patroniIed.
One sees in them the economy of the
French people as a class, very finely
dressed ladies standing Cd the platform
to save five cents Economy is observ-
eble everywhere IN France, and there is
much truth In the aphorism the people
could live on what the Americans
waste"

used to assemble at the rear entranceto
the fremont Theatre to see her come
out. She would be 80 muffied up that
we could not even see her figure, but we
used to find great satisfaction in seeing
her walk by on the arm of her escort
up to the fremont House. Then we
would give three student cheers for her
and walk out to Cambridge to bed.
Such audiences as she had, tool If

A celebrated London writer says:
Surely now is the moment to say a few
words about the burials of the future.
The sudden changes of the weather II
this time of the year seriously affect
the bills Of mortality, and hardly a day
passes but our street is traversed by one
of those lugubrious professions which
add much more than is usually mag
ined to the gloom associated with dis
solution and the grave. We are thereby
reminded of the necessity for some
association formed for the purpose of
bringing about a less hideouS fashion of
bearing to the tomb, and there can be
no doubt of the readiness with which
many of us would join 1t when formed.
The matter is easy enough. 1t is only
necessary for a few learned, thoughtful
and artistic men and women to league
together and accomplish in this field
what has already been accomplished in
domestic art. Membership should be
open to all under certain conditions,
and all members, whether resident in
the United Kingdom or in the more
accessible quarters of Europe, should
be entitled to aesthetic burial. / am
putting down these thoughts on paper
merely as a tentative suggestion, in the
hope that the suggestion will be seri-
ously taken up by those who have the
leisure and capacity to work 1t out.
Abundant scope for invention herel

In the days when India produced pa
CODA trees and nabobs she had a capital
school of native cookery. Pillaus, ka-
bobs, mulligatawny soup and innumer-
able sorts of curry were the dainties
that appeared in those days on the table
OF wsll-tO-do Anglo-Indlans, and very
good fare they made. But according to
the Clril and Military Gazette these in
digenous dishes are despised by the Eu-
ropean gentry, who insist that their
meals shall be Western in look if not in
taste. Tomorrow, for instance, there
Will be on most tables a number of
tasteless entrees with French names. In
addition to the perfunctory turkey and
ham, The latter are sure to be good
OF their kind, but the timed soup and
the timed salmon, the timed fruit
with which the tarts are made, and the
timed peaches at dessert might be re-
placed with the greatest advantage by
the products Of the country. Fashion,
however, rules otherwise, and under her
tyranny the once great school Of Indian
cookery is rapidly approaching extinc-
ton. Our contemporary aHirms that 1t
Is almost impossible to get a good curry
nowadays i'll India, the native cooks
lost the art of making them.
Unfortunately they have not acquired
anything mor than the merest smatter-
ing of French cookery, being entirely
indebted for what knowledge they pos
to the teaching given them by their
masters and mistresses. The conse-
q%uences is that dinner parties among
Europeans have come to be os~tentatious
leasts which look well enough on the
menus, but are infinitely inferior in
every other respect to the repasts which
HE old school used to set forth on their
lospitable boards. Even the ''moor-
ghee outlet, " that simple but exquisite
plat Which only Indian cooks could pre-
pare properly, has almost become a
hing of the past, while a pillau'd kid
stuffed with pistachio nuts would be re-
with horror.

The new palace of justice at Brus-
sells, n of the largest and most remark
able constructions of modern times,
was recently opened with becoming
solemnity. The palace, placed in a
commanding situation IN the most ele-
waited part fthe town, was commenced
in 1866. The celebrated architect, NJ.
j. Poelert, who made the plans and
directed the work, has, unfortunately,
not seen its completion. Since his
death, in 1879, the works have been
directed by NJ. Wellens, engineer in the
service of the governmental. Poelsrt
did not adopt any determined style, but
made use for its magnificent structure
OF Greek, Roman, and even, especially
as regards the outline, of Indian mod
els. The result is considered glorious
n for his memory and forthe country,
but it has only been obtained at a cost
of As, 0OO, 900 francs $50, 000, 000l.-Very
large sums will be required for the
transformation of the quarter surround
ing the palace so as to give it a frame
worthy of it. The palace by itself COW
ers &c. 900 square and ascents and de-
cents which had to be created, a total
of 10000 square meters, which were
for construction, Is arrived
at. The central hall measures 300
square meters, and is s. meters high,
while its roof opens into a gilt crown
terminating in a cupola ut a height OF
OF. meters. The palace contains be-
side tweuty.seven large and 245 smaller
halls for the different services, and
eight court-yards. All the principal
halls are most richly decorated. The
materials which have been employed in
the construction and decoration are
most durable which could be provided
by money, after a most comprehensive
study OF the matter. The building IS,
indeed, almost indestructible, and will
transmit the name Of Poel9rt TO the
most distant times. The outside height
nm TO the crown on the cupola is the
meters. From whichever side one now
approaches Brussels this colossal build
ing presents itself, dominating the
town and surrounding country. Crit
les. of course, find fault with this and
that. but on the success Of the great
enterprise as a whole Belgium must be

A German medical charlatan, having
a salge to put on the market, went to a
respectable druggist and offered him
the agency Oft, telling HIM at the same
time that if he wished to satisfy him
self absolutely as to It's freedom from
deletCrlOus substances he might send
some Of 1t to any two high medical
authorities and he (the charlatan) would
pay them handsomely for the analysis
and opinions. The druggist found the
proposals reasonable, and the quack
sent the samples to the druggist, who
forwarded them, with a list of the m-
gradients Of which they were composed
the eminent doctors. 1t is true that
Tie 'cifaI,aCan left out Of his list the
particular drug-arsenic-upon which
the value of the salve depended, but
this little trick remained undiscovered,
from the fact that the doctors. knowing
that the preparation came from a very
respectable druggist, felt that they
were safe in taking the proffered fee
without going through a troublesome
analysis, They accordingly declared
the article to be made up in consonance
with the acknowledged rules of science,
and to be wholly free from any delete
rious substance. The sales were heavy
and the profits were large. But when
the Carlsruhe Sanitary Counil recently
condemned the salye as composed
largely of an arsenical compound the
eminent doctors found themselves in a
very bad fix. While the professional
palaver over the matter was going on
the charlatan saved himself from fine
and Imprisonment by quietly slipping
over the border with his money bag.

Tea.


Young Hyson and rosebud" form
the attractions at those delighi full social
entertainments known as ''teas." There
is something SO charmingly informal
about them, SO chatty, so uncstenta-
tious, and, withal, SO di2nifed and re
s~yectable, that they capture the hearts
OF maids and matrons. People who
think balls ''horrld," who claim that
the hundreds of dollars spent for terra
pin and such d~elicacies at evening en-
tertaiuments might be better tpenf, and
who look upon champagne as a "delu-
sion and a snare" such people just dote
on teas. Some of these teas are unique
in surprises that originate with the
hosiess-some Of them very charming.
Beautiful bits of china are introduced;
there are sometimes separate small
tables for groups, and flowers as pretty
favors or gifts to give away are not
made much of. AS they do not require
much effort they are frequently made
occasions for the first introduction 10 an
official social way. if it may be SO
termed, of a daughter. After a grl has
distinguished herself pouring out tea
for Others and older ladies and serving
a few gentlemen she may safely venture
upon the more trying ordeal OF a large
reception.
