From q recert Paris letter.
But few Americans leave Paris without
visiting the Chapelle EXpiatoire of the Rue
d'Aniou, which was erected over the body
of King Louis XVI, in order to commeni-
CRATE h sad fate. A literary acquaintance
who specially interests himself in the col
Iec,ion of unpublished memoirs drew my
attention to-day to the fact that the bones
resting under the monument in question are
moi those of Louis XVI. but of Robes
nierre. Dictator Barras relates in his
memoirs that after the decapitati0n of
Rohespierre he personally superintendent
fine Iatter's Inflammation. Being of a cyni-
cal disposition. he thought it would be
amusing to bury the body of RObeSpierre
nn the TOD of that of Louis XVI. Accord
inpjy he caused the latter'S grave to be
onened. quantity of quickline 10 be
thrown on the royal remains, and then
placed the corpse of Robespierre i'll the
same grave.
When. after the restoration in 1915, the
renains believed to be those of the king
were exhumed. it was noticed that while
tbe buckles of the shoes were of silver. the
Iynee buckles were of gold. Now. it is well
Inown that R0bespierre always made a
pnint of wearing knee buckles OF diff
feient metal to those of his shoes; and
moreover. the quicklime must necessarily
have caused the complete disappearance OF
the kings remains. The bones, therefore,
switch lie under the monument of the Cha
nellie EXP atoire. where worthy Legitimsts
fock to pray for the soul of the mariyred
Ting are those of his executiOner, Robes
nierre. The discovery of the whole affair
was made during the reign of Napoleon
Ill, but at the urgent request of the EN-
press was flushed up.

Instantly William was on his feet. asking

William arose.

One day North Meridian street man on
his way to his office noticed colored man
loading spalls, cuttings from stones. from
in front of a neighbours new house. The
colOred man told him he had been hired, at
% cents load, To haul them off to dump
ing ground. The North Meridian street
man thought he could use couple of loads
of them. and. going to his rich neighbor,
said if he would let him have couple of
loads he could use them to make walk in
his back yard and he would pay the colored
man for hauling the two loads. His neigh
Dor said. all right" The loads were
hauled and the colored man was paid so
cents. Next day, meeting his ne ghbOr, the
North Meridian street man thanked his
neighbOr for the spalls. The neighbor
didn't appear satisfied. and said:
why. Mr.. -. that doesn't paw me- "
Much surprised, the n. NJ. street man
said:
But you have been having them hauled
off and thluwn away"
80 was" said the awfully shrewd
business man. That's one thing; it's an
other thing in your case. They're worth
something because you need them"
SURPRISING his rising Indignation at this
unneighb0rly exhibition of acute thrift, the
n. NJ. street man desired to know what the
spalls were worth. He was told SIS, which
he promptly paid. and now the two old
neighborS don't speak as they pass by.

A Ranchman Discovers the Realm
of CO.Ony Of Sucks.
4 singular story comes from the head of
Panther creek. stream of Northeastern
Colorado with its course not many miles
from the Nebraska line. One of the sources
of the creek is a shallow. sedgy pond, from
which the water pours over a miniature
precpice some ten feet in height and five or
six iii width.
The pond is the resort, in their season, of
a great many wild ducks. who iced on the
sedgy plants growing on its margins and its
shallow bottom. Last year a neighboring
ranchman noticed that OH disturbing the
water fowl, in place of flying to dis
lance. they circled about for Il few moments
and then dashed through the veil of water
formed by the falls coming from the pond.
Though a good deal astonished the ranch
man had no time for investgat on OF the
singular circumstance, and not until a short
time ago did he follow the tracks Of the
ducks through the falling waters. Beyond
! slight ducking he experienced no lncon-
ven ence in passing behind the falls. Once
there and the way was clear. Opening be-
fore HIM WAS passage three feet IN width,
and of sufficient height to allow man TO
pass upright. The walls of the subterra-
mean way were directly beneath the pond
He had not gone many yards before the
sound of a great quackmg fell upon his
ears. Fastening his pace he soon came
upon large cavern. in the centre OF which
was a lake The surface of the lake was
thick with ducks. The water fowl were
mostly mallard and teal though several
other varieties were represented.
On the approach of the intruder the
pucks arose in an immense cloud and dis
dapeared through an opening beyond the
lake. Our adyentuTer followed them
and found another and similar lake. COW
cred with wild ducks. Again the fowl
arose and with frightened and clamorous
quacks thr0nged through another passage
way. Here the purSuer found the largest
lake of all, and the end of the subterranean
water chain. The ducks now took the
back track. and he could hear the rush of
their wings and the sound their harsh
notes growing fainter as they sought the

gagged at his desk writing when a fellow
clerk came up to him and began to talk to
him in the sign language.
The secretary is going to go for you, .
said the clerk with his fingers.
The mute clerk looked up surprised.

his fingers.
''Oh, the secretary has heard tales about
you. and hear that you are about to be dis
charged"
The deaf mute clerk looked bewildered.
''Why?" his fingers asked.
''Some people have told the secretary
that YOU have been around the hotel cor.

manner against the administration.
An expression of relief came across the
mute clerks face when he heard the rea-
son. and his fingers replied: Il can prove

Objections to the practice Of wash
ing wool are multiplying, and it
would seem that in many parts of the
country the custom would soon die
out. An Illinois exchange says
"Mr. Hileman sheared twenty-five
head of Cotswolds, and the clip, as it
came from the sheep, weighed 224
pounds. twas afterward thoroughly
washed, and weighed al pounds-a
loss of 1913 pounds. The unwashed,
at the middling price, 20 cents, would
have brought $48.SO the washed, at
the present highest price, 80 cents,
would have brought $45.12. This
leaves a balance in favor of the un-
washed wool, to say nothing of the
loss of hard work in washing"
