The influence Of Dict.

The intimate interaction of body and mind
is most strikingly illustrated in the moral
influence of diet Modern science has re-
vealed the fact that the various ingredients
of the fuel feeding the fire of a confagration
can be tested by the spectrum lines of the
flame, and with tho same certainty search
ing analysis could trace every change of
diet to its effect in q modification of our
mental disposition. "Der Mensch ist, was er
isst, )" says German proverb; MAN is what
he cats" The maxims of dietetic hygiene
thus gain q moral significance, fact recog-
nized in the principle of the temperance
movement, and, indeed, in the ethics of all
health loving nations
The moral influence Of habitual surfeits
contrasts, indeed, most suggestively with the
effect of abstemious habits. Gluttony torpi-
fes the mental faculties. Tho latter dinner
lassitude" finds its physiological explanation
in the circumstance that the work of diges-
tion monopolizes the energies of the organism,
and that transient torpor may become a
chronic aversion to mental efforts. The
bonhommie of epicures can be traced to a
similar cause. Yielding in argument is
easier than controversy; the indulgence of a
generous impulse is more pleasant than its
suppression, and the iberality associated
with the after effect of full meal may be
founded on Incidence as much as on phian-
thropic principles, plethoric gluttons being
notoriously subject to fits Of brutal passion.
The same gourmand, who, in the enjoyment
of his siesta, will grant the request of an
insolent petitioner to obviate the annoyance
of further opportunities, may, before night,
kick his wife and half kill his child for
trifling offense.-Dr. Felix L. Oswald in
0non Iourt

finances were in such bad condition that In
1857 King Louis XVI convened an assembly
OF notables to consider them. Then the
states general was called-a sort of old par
lament, which had not met for lis wears.
In June. l7S9, the representatives Of the COM
mon people in this assembly organized sep
arately, and swore never to adjourn till a
general reform was secured This was the
beginning Of the French revolution.
On the 18th of July the king refused to aid
the reform movement. On the 18th the peo-
pie rose and national guard was formed,
under command Of our own Lafayette. On
tho 18th they stormed and captured the Bas-
tile. Revolution and reform then proceeded
regularly for two years, till the exiled no
olemen induced Austria, Spain and somo
minor powers to make war on the revolu-
tionista Then the French people rose as one
man and the long war with the rest of Eu-
rope began Aug. l, 1872, the monarchy
vas abolished; Aug. and 10 the people
stormed the palace and massacred the Swiss
guard. Still the kings supporters contin-
ued to intrigue with foreigners, and the
Austrian and Prussian troops continued
their advance; SO, the first week in Septem.
Der, the maddened people rose and massa-
cred some 400 priests and mobiles and their
retainers. Jan. 20, l70S, the king was
condemned to death; on the 2lst he was gull
lotined, and the noted ''Reign of Terror"
began. In 1875 comparative order was re-
stored, and soon after Napoleon Bonaparte
obtained control Nearly all candid men
now agree that the interference of Austria
and Prussia was a great blunder, If not a
crime; and the later adhesion of England
was equally bad Those nations did in fact
turn the orderly revolution into fierce and
unreasoning current of fury. In these days
of comparative justice and peace American
visitors will find much to interest them in
the restored Bastile.

Making, Love in Public.

A young couple devoted to each other
sometimes fall into the error of showing
their affection too plainly in company
People of tact and tasto never make ti;:;
mistake. Husband aud wife should not take
much notice of each other i'll public; both
should be devoted to their guests Making
love in public" is a great offense against
good manners, as it puts every one else at q
disadvantage.
Still less should they quarrel in public;
that puts them and the guests and the hosts
and everybody else in very bad box-the
witness box. possibly, if it goes far enough.
Let no young couple be ashamed to receive
attention from cider and richer people than
themselves which arc joyfully extended, but
which they cannot for the moment return.

benefit When the czar was finally blown TO
pieces in St Petersburg, N. Floquet exulted
openly. When, therefore, he was made
chief Of the cabinet in 1885, by President
Gresy, every one looked for a radical min
isery. radical measures, and perhaps a rupt-
uSh with Russia But as often happens with
radicals, the responsibilities OF Office made
him more conservative Since the Grevy
administration went to pieces and N. Flo
queA returned to his seat in the national as
sesnhy, American visitors have often re-
married on the general resemblance of his
air and manner to those Of Charles Sumner.
Dignity and benevolence appear united in
his countenance; he looks every inch a
senator, and the last man to be suspected Of
SYMPATHY with assassins or violent men Of
any sort. Early in 1887 the Prussian am
bassador at Paris met NJ. Floquet socially,
The latter being president of the chamber Of
deputies, and cordial relations were resso'.ed,
the common ground being the feeling both
entertain towards Germany. In conclusion.
it can only be said that French politics are
so theatrical that in a few days we may
learn that NJ. Floquet is the idol Of the
people or that he is in exile to avoid the
popular wrath for his having killed the
popular idol

Flowers and Bir.s-They Take tho Places

'sWhat class of persons are your best Gus
tomelsf" asked reporter Of q bird fancier
recently.
''Shop girls, seamstresses, milliners and
other working women" was his unexpected
reply. "Rich folks buy the parrots, edu-
Gated canaries the rare foreign birds ard the
expensive aquaria, but the pretty working
girls are the best and steadiest buyers of the
common varieties and without their custom
we should fare badly. We are one with the
florists in that respect"
"How do you mean7"
"Well, just ask the lorists-I mean the
cheap sidewalk florists of the market and
street corners-who are their best customers.
and you will get the same answer that have
given you. can't understand it, either"
''These pets and flowers" said o modest
working girl to the reporter half hour
later, "they cheer and We should feel lost
without them. Why, we can almost always
tell when one Of our companions is going
wrong-that is, coming home late, becoming
bold and gay and entertaining longings for
dress and ornaments-by giving away her
pets and plants or neglecting them"
The canary is by long odds the favorite pet
with working girls The little sky blue nom
pareil birds, as they are called, love birds,
Java sparrows, and others are well repre-
sented. Guinea pigs and white mice also
occasionally receive their share of fostering
attention in these humble homes As to
flowers, the harder, cheaper and prettier of
pot plants are the most popular. The gera-
MUM is the most popular; then comes the
heliotrope, then the fuschia, and they also
cultivate the wall flower, daisy, the gilly
flower, the primrose, several varieties Of tho
pink, the oxalis or wood sorrel, and whatever
will thrive in circumscribed quarteas with
limited care. The working girls are often
put to their ingenuity to have their pets and
and flowers attended to during their absence
from home in the pursuit of their vocation,
especially in cold weather, when the more
delicate specimens are apt to suffer severely
in the lofty, unwarned tenements if not
properly cared for. Sometimes one who is
too i'll to seek her daily work, but able to be
about within doors, will minister to the
wants of dozen or more Of such possessions
on behalf Of companions lodging in the same
house. Sometimes kind hearted landlady
will volunteer similar offices for trifling
reciprocation in the way Of stitching, mend
ing, or of some cheap but pretty worsted or
cardboard ornament for her vacant walls

controversy with n. Cambon, the French
consul general at Tunis; but the latter liu-
IDENTIFY declined to push the matter to light.
Last year his quarrel with jules Ferry led

meeting. This year A. Floquet accommor
dated him with fight to the finish.
Floquet has long been quite as active In
his faction as Boulanger, and to an American
observer far more reasonable. When tho
Republicans held their preliminary meeting
to decide as to whom they should support for

ceived l0l votes, leading the poll, and sadi-
Carnot but %; nevertheless the former

apparent conservatism in opposition to
Boulanger is comparatively new thing; for
at his entrance in public life he was ac-
counted rather radical, and in 1867, when the
czar visited the Paris exposition and entered
the law courts in company with Napoleon
III. NJ. Floquet offered q gross insult by
shouting: "Vive Ia Polosne!" dong live

Then followed a time of upward work. He
PLAYED Brigard in "Frou-F -Frou, J" the Admiral
and other leading parts in Gilbert and Sulli-
van operas. Under D'Oyley Carte's manage
ment he appeared to New York six years
ago At the end of his first season on the
American stage Richard Mansfield found
himself star.
Mr.. Mansfelds recent achievement in his
presentation Of his marvellous psychological
studies Of DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde is uni
yersally conceded to be among the few
really remarkable stage creations conten-
poraneous history has afforded.
Daniel E. Bandmann, who was star when
Mansfield was in his swaddling clothes, be-
came rival to Mr.. Mansfield in this wise:
Bandmann sent request for tickets for him
self and friends to Mansfield's performance.
Mansfield replied that he didn't give tickets
to dime museum people-Bandmann has OF
late played at s'popular price"
Herr Dandmann determined to play the part
himself.
Bandmann was born at Cassel, Germany,
and made his debut at the age of IS at the
Court theatre of New Strelitz. After making
reputation in the Shakespearean drama in
Germany he came to America, and for the
first time played in English, as Shylock, at
Niblo's Garden, New York, Jan. Is, 1858.
For about five years he starred. He pleased
Edwin Forrest, and was selected by him to
nlav Hamlet in the tercentenary birthday
celebration at Philadelphia Feb II, 1869,
he appeared at tho Lyoeum theatre, London,
and created strong impression in mar
cisse"
In 1877 he played Hamlet and Othello IN
Berlin. In 1884 Bandmann began an engage
ment at tho Thalia theatre, New York Some
seasons ago he adopted the circuit of cheap
theatres.
Bandmann, having made arrangements to
NAV the celebrated double character in Eng
land. secured q London theatre in order to
oncn ahead Of Mansfield, who was to have
opened at Irving's Lyceum theatre on Sept

MANSFIELD AHEAD NOW.

But Bnntlmann May Have New Surprises
In Store for Him.
Theatrical people are good deal amused
over the recent coup of Mr. Richard Mans
field, who suddenly departed from New York
with his theatrical company for Europe, in
order to head off Herr Bandmann, who in
tended to produce 'Doctor Jekyll and Mr..
Hyde" there ahead of him. Mr.. Mansfield
was born in London thirty -one years ago, and
his great artistic gifts came to him by the
laws of heredity, for his mother, Nine. Err
minia Rudersdorff, was one of the rarest
lyric artists of her time Sixteen years ago
Mme Rudersdorf and her two sons came to
America, the mother then being under en-
gagement to Mr. P. S. Gilmore to sing at the
Boston Peace jubilee. He was in his Goth
year when Mme Rudersdorff decided that he
should enter upon commercial career, and
secured him position in the great dry goods
house of Jordan & Marsh, in Boston,
He did not continue long at this, however,
and when he was 81 went to London to study
art. He acquired reputation for mimicry
rather than art, which brought him to the
attention of the German, Reeds, and he was
regularly engaged at good salary to appear
with Corney Grain. On the first night,
worn out by exhaustion and frenzied with
the excitement of his new position, which
meant either career or abject failure, he
tainted and failed. But he was given an
other trial, made success, and got what
was more valuable-his name before the
press and public in way that attracted the
attention Of the London managers.

prominent in entertaining Admiral Lusoffski
when the Russian feet visited New York in
1863 This secured him recognition of the
car Of Russia, and during stay at st. Pc
tersburg he was the recipient of great atten-
tion. At an important ceremony held by the
emperor Mr.. Sibley was honored with the
second place on the list Of guests. The Rus
sian government agreed to cooperate with
him, and build the line between 1rkootsk and
the Amoor river. Fifteen hundred miles had
been put up, when the successful laying of
the Atlantic cable caused an abandonment
Of the enterprise.
After Mr.. Sibley discontinued active opera
tions in building telegraph lines, he took up
railroading and a number Of other enter
prises. He was for several years connected
with the management Of the Southern Mich
igan and Northern Indiana railway. After
the civil war, guided by desire to restore
amicable relations between the north and
the south, he made investments in the latter
section He went into salt at Saginaw and
into storing seed at Chicago. At Chicago he
tore down comparatively new building and
erected on its site an immense seed ware
house. Tie seed business Mr.. Sibley CON-
menced at Rochester thirty years ago. He
was an innovator even in this, and instituted
many experiments for the improvement Of
plants with reference to their seed bearing
qualities. He cultivated the largest farm in
the state of New York. He was the owner
Of fourteen other farms in New York state,
besides estates In Michigan and Illinois.
Mr. Sibley's philanthropic investments
kept pace with his other enterprises. Ho
founded the Sib!ey College of Mechanical
Arts ut Cornell university, Ithaca, N. Y,
OH which he spent at different times $3.50, 900.
At Rochester he built and presented Sibley

The building was begun in 1869, under orders
Of Charles v, and by an odd coincidence tho
man who designed it and laid the founda-

His alleged crime was love for beautiful
Jewess, and yielding to her SO far as to re-
iect some tenets OF the established religion:
The word "bastile" or ''bastide' was applied
to many prisons in France, and there were
two Bastiles in Paris; but the noted one was
the Bastile Of the st. Antoine quarter.
Its strength was enormous. There were
eight round towers, connected by walls OF
massivc masonry, making the quadrangle'
the walls were nowhere less than twelve
feet thick. and around them was deep ditch
twenty-five feet wide, flooded from the Seine,
and in turn protected by lower wall In
this gloomy fortress were fifty solitary cells
for state prisoners, besides the great "herd-
ino rooms'' for common criminals, the quar-
ters for officials and guards, and many dark
cells and dungeons. These last were nine
taan feet below the surface level OF the
prison. and consequently below the bottom

A Plea for Hotel Life.

And so we come to the question of hotel or
home life. II man is here today and
thousand miles A,om here tomorrow, of
course he seeks accommodation where he
may pay his bill and be gone at any moment.
And If the pater familias foresees that the
most fashionably situated houses Of today
will be passe and uncomfortable next year,
he declines to put money into any house, but
will use the interest Of that capital in paying
his family's charges at q hotel or boarding
house. This is one Of the main reasons why
in our great cities tho palaces take tho style
of hotels, and many Of our best citizens find
their homes in them. A purely transitory
arrangement of life suits nomadic people
a people who constitutionally hate to feel
themselves bound to anything but their own
will.-Nrs. Frank Leslie in Philadelphia
