why She Was Loved.

It is related of Nine. de Circourt, at
one time teigning belle in Paris society
that her mother said to her: MY dear
child, you are too ugly for anyone ever
to fall in love with you" From this time
Nine. de Circourt began to be very kind
to the pauper children of tne village, the
servants of the household, even the birds
that hoped about the garden walks.
She was always distressed if she hap
pened to be unable to render a service.
This good will toward everybody made
her the idol of the city. Though her
complexion was sallow, her gray eyes
small and sunkeD, yet she held in devo-
ton to her the greatest men of her time.
Her unfailing interest in others made
her, it is said, perfectly irresistible.

When the French and German ouests
oi uEe yorktown centennial were here
they occupied separate dining rooms
ahu the difference between the two
Iouhtries was strongly marked. The
rlenchmen were more formal and re-
IuIied much attention in the service OF
their food. They seldom called for more
tt'ah one dish at a time, while the Ger.
mans dlned en- familie and would call

me Maiagassy envoys, from Madagas-
IIal, were the mostpeculiar people whom
nave met; lhey eat no meat, except
perhaps, little chicken or some similar
l0od. They were fond of fish and rice.
Inc latter they require every meal; at
breakfast, lunch, dinner and at midnight
tiiey ask for rice. The Siamese embassy
who, you will recollect, were here last
summer, were much more civilized and
were fond of American and European
dishes. Still they were never without

Each morning we make our estimate

and guess at the probable number of ar

kitchen and estimate sufficient for two
hundred people. On that amount we
could easily feed two hundred and
twenty-five persons. and it rarely hap

that out of the way?"
"Hsw many employees have you who
are connected directly with culinary de-
partment?"
"Nell. including the store-keeper, the
steward, the head cook, the night cook,
and their various assistants, there are
about thirty men,
do you have a separate cook for your
servants?"
"Oh, yes To certain extent the
servants consume what is left from the
guests table, but that is not their princi-
pal source of supply"
"Do you do your own buying, or leave
it to the steward"
"Yes, l buy everything myself. Come
around some morning at o'clock, and
I'll take you to market with me and
show you how it is done"

for the old graveyard. Most OF the
vaults are cut in solid rock against the
high mountain side, and some of them
are the tombs of many generations.
There are two chapels here. one of them
built in 1927, the other some time in the
| twelfth century. High above is the
chapel of st. Gertrude partly built into
| solid rock and connected by almost per-
pendicular stone steps with cave, the
hermitage of st. Maximus. The tomb
| stones and crosses of this cemetery are
very old and curious. In one place, close
by the main path saw seven rusty iron
crosses, as tall as myself They used to
stand in line, but the wind has played
them rudely and long since tumbled
