N1efssonier's Home,

NJ. Meissonier lives at No. 13l Boule-
ward Malesherbes, Paris. The exterior
appearance of the edlfice is odd enough
and gives no hint of the surprise of the
interior, the architecture Of which is in
imitation Of that which the Moors
brought into Spain. One enters court
closed in by several pieces of wall,
joined at right angles, along which runs
columned gallery reached by a dozen
steps. In the day time this gallery has
rather cold appearance, but by moon
| light In the beautiful summer nights il
looks rather romantic, with its deeply
projected shadow, from which the stone
columns appear to issue with a blush
gleam. On the left is a long glass pas
sage, through which one reaches the
apartments by means of a wooden
staircase with broad balusters. First
comes a spacious parlor, ornamented
with bronzes and paintings, and beyond
| is the studio. The study is of cathe-
dral-llke proportions. In it reigns a
certain disorder, perhaps a trihe on
purpose. Here and there are nothing
but sketches, rough drafts Of paintings,
models of horses in wax, etc. In a
large bay window, seated before a very
small easel supporting tiny canvas,
behold the matter, little old man,
with flowing beard, which descends to
his breast in rolling waves like these Of
an ancient river. He is very simply
dressed in short vest and knee
breeches. Let US enter unCbserved,
and we will surprise him painting a
sketch in which one already sees, as in
mist, the profiles of soldiers of the
time of Henry III peep out with their
long pixies and steel helmets. At home
The old man speaks in loud tone of
voice, with that military accent which
recalls the sad days of the siege Of Paris.
during which he could be seen gallop-
ing through the streets, glorious and
magnificent in his new and gaudy
uniform of staff colonel. Meissonier
has said that it is but just that those
who paint masterpieces should be as
well lodged as those who buy them.

Quick Work on the Frontier.

While persons of wealth, learning and
leisure in eastern cities bother their
brains over the questions that interest
the welfare of society, the practical citi-
zens of little towns on the western from.
tier resort to measures that settle them
at once. During the past few months
discussions have bee going on In all the
cities where medical colleges are loca ed,
in respect to getting bodies for dissec.
tion, regulating the practice Of medicine,
eIevating the standard of doctors, and
diminishing the number of physicians.
Nothing practical. however, has been
accomplished.
They manage things differently out
on the border. A month or so ago, an
alleged doctor located in q small town
near Denver, Colorado. He hung out
his shingle, and it was not long before
he was summoned to visit sick woman.
He called on her and prescribed some
medicine, which the patient took.
Shortly afterward she died. The doctor
was asked what the drug was, but he
could not tell, BE was also unable to
state the complaint the woman was
troubled with. On being asked to show
bis diploma, he admitted that he had
none. The friends of the deceased held
a consultation, as doctors often do, and
decided to hang the unfortunate prac-
titioner to the nearest tree, which was
not far off. With the enterprise and
energy that characterize western men,
they strung up the adventurous prac-
tltioner till he was as dead as his pa
tient. Had there been q manufactory
of doctors in the vicinity the body
would have been turned over to it with
out the formality of asking the permis-
sion of the county commissioners, As
there was none, they allowed the buzz
yards and wolves to devour it. There
is an opening for courageous doctor
IN this place, bu. he must take the
chances.

Tie Crasiest Craze.

"Who Is thst young mann"
"The one leaning against the show
easel"
"Yes the same"
'.He looks like dude or fashIona-
BILE loafer, but he is really detective,
placed here to watch the ladies.'
$40 prevent stesling?'
"Oh, no; the ladies who visit our es-
tabllshment do not steal. They peculate.
T0ey carry small SCISSORS with them and
snip pieces out OF the curtains, drsperIes
and even each others cloaks and dresses.
They cannot help 1t. The crazy quilt
rage has become a mania, and now that
the storekeeper will no longer give SAM
pies, and they have begged all the ueck-
ties and pieces from their friends, they
just appropriate 3 patch from anything
they see. | know q dozen ladies who
have elegant garments ruined by 3 piece
cut out. Ore lady wore blue velvet
brocade suit to church, and when she
got home one of the tails of her basque
coat was gone. She thought some evil
minded person had done it TO distress
her, but a few days after she discovered
the piece in the block of crazy quilt"
The gentleman was one Of the proprle-
tors OF large and elegantly appointed
establishment on Woodward avenue, and
while he talked he watched q beautiful
girl who fingered near the superb plush
trapery of one of the portieres. The
young man leaning against the showcase
also watched her In sleepy, indifferent
way, but ready tc spring and stop her
hand if he saw q suspicious movement.
''But," SAID the representative of the
press, 'these are ladies of position and
wealth. They csn buy all the pieces they
want for crazy quilt
'AhI that's all You know about II.
There is not a bit OF pleasure to them in
what they call commercial patchwork. 1t
IS like smuggling. There must be spice
of adventure in it, and there is. They
beg al the old knight Templar badges,
menus or notices printed On ribbon, book
marks, neck-ties-why, bashful man Is
actually afraid TO call on lady, she de-
mands SO much Of his wardrobe-an odds
and ends obtained by the most hazardous
proceeding.
81 have no doubt pocket-book filed
with money would be no temptation to
those ladies, but an old-gold satin lining
in a mans coat sleeves will be cut out and
appropriated without a struggle. 'Tis
true. It's pity, pity It's 't,s true" and the
disguised proprietor reached into his coat
pockets after a handkerchief. 1t was
gone, and SO we're the pockets. They had
been quietly sbstracted while ne was ex-
planning the modus operandI OF the crazy
quilt business, and as they were blue satin
they no doubt form harmonious dIscord
by this time in q demented countsrpane.

"Senu Fur Me :"

A life insurance agent who had been
working up considerable business in
Fort Scott, Ks, was one day ap.
preached by tough-looking customer
who wanted to take out a s. 900 policy.
He inquired about the cost and other
particulars and finally remarked:
swell, stranger, when you kin put
the figgers down about one-half you kin
send fur mr.n
"Oh, I couldn't do that"
"Mebbe not, but them's my terms. "
When the man had departed the
agent went out to inquire who he was,
and citizen replied:
"Why, that's Bill Callahan. What
did he want?"
"Wanted some insurance at half
rates"
"Give it to himl"
''I'l see him hanged first! Why
should l make a reduction to himp'
because you've get insurance on at
least twenty of us here, and if you don't
come to Bill's figures he'll kill a full
dozen of US before the year is out! Bet
ter consult the interests of the COM
pany and make a reduction
The next day William had a policy
on which a shake-purse paid the first
premium.

Building Stone.

A peculiar kind of building-stone is
found in some localities in Oregon,
having the property of being uninjured
by the action of cold, heat or moisture.
1t Is called granite sandstone, IS very
rich in silica; of close, fine grain,
highly crystalized, unlaminated, and of
a fine brown color. On being brought
to white heat and suddenly plunged II
cold water, it comes out as solid and
firm as at first.

EDUCATIONAL STATISTIC.

The annual report of the Commissioner
of Education brings up the record of educa-
tional statistics to the close of the fiscal year
1888 From this volume, now at hand, we
learn that the school population of the ma
ton is something in excess of 1G,000,000
OF this ten-sixteenths is enrolled in the
public schools q larger proportion than is
generally supposed. There are employed
in the public schools 900 teachers. The
people expend for the system over $91 900
600. The income and expenditure for
school purposes increased during the year
10000 900, and the school population was
augmented by $4,000; the public school
property increased nearly S5,500,000 and the
permanent State school funds over $50, O00,-
600. In the South the school population of
over 4, 100000 is about equally divided be-
tween whites and black But of white
children there 100000 enrolled and but
500. 0G0 of blacks. Another singular fact is
disclosed also in the same line. In the
wear there was an increase in the
South of $1,000 white children of school
age, and of something over $4,000 of blacks,
but the enrolment in schools increased
only sic for blacks, but 1900 for whites.
But it is also disclosed that the expenditure
for school purposes has increased largely in
the South during the year, from which the
conclusion is drawn that there is a healthy
growth of the sentiment favorable to free
and impartial education" 1t is certainly
TO be hoped that this is So bat it would be
better evidence of it to note a larger enroll
ment of blacks in the schools The one
thing the South needs to cultivate and
stimulate to-day is the spirit of self-help.
1t must not rely upon the possibility of
national aid, encouraged thereto by the
persistent advocacy Of that scheme by the
Tourgee school of political economists.
Nothing could be more injurious TO cduca-
tional interests in the South than to give
the States to understand that there is no
need for exertion on their part for the
cause of education
