There were chairs lame and backless. and

There were punches of odorous herbs on the

Just longing for .ome one to give them .
So out OF sheer pity We pstted them lightly.

STUDENTS FRANKS.
"reminiscences by q Graduate o,
the Beaux Arts in Paris.
How tho Young Artists OF That Institu-
ton Amuse MISUNDERSTANDING New
Arrival-The Victim Shown
No Mercy.

Warren R. Briggs, a young Boston
ian. who has been taking an architect
ural course at the Paris Ecole des
Beaux Arts, recently addressed a num-
Der of students of architecture on the
subject of his experiences at the school.
His "reminiscences were extremely in
teresting.
In entering a French atelier, he said,
it is to your advantage to identify your
self as closely as possible with its GUS
toms and traditions. Be not over
fastidious-you will find your new COM
rades not too refined. DO not look
with contempt upon that unwashed,
uncombed and altogether unsavory in
dividual; uncouth and wild as he may
look. he may be able to teach you more
than you ever knew of design or rem
dering. Likely as not, some day you
will see him capture the greatest of all
prizes, for the French student-the
Grand Prize of Rome.
There comes to my mind now two
men who, when entered the Atelier
Andre. were perhaps the widest and
dirtiest of the lot and were, l am sure,
the leaders OF every escapade in which
the atelier indulged-of these men,
one, LalOux, has since won the Grand
Prize, and the other, Pujol, was the
finest draughtsman ever knew, and
has since won many notable COMPETE
tiOns. and stands to-day high up on the
ladder of fame. can truly say that
from these two men / learned more of
q technical nature than from any other
source during my stay in the school.
This you will find true of all atelier
life-you can learn more from your
companions-cspecially the frst-class
men and those who are more advanced
than yourself. than from your pro-
lessor, whose visits occur only twice or
three times week, and if you can Sc
cure ten or fifteen minutes of his time
at these visits you are extremely fort
innate.
When l was at Paris, there were
situated in the school-building, on the
Rue Bonaparte, three ateliers devoted
to the study Of architecture, and like
number to painting and sculpture.
When you enter the atelier you will
have to pay small amount. and from
time to time such assessments or dues
rs are customary. You will also be ex-
pected Ito set 'em up for the boys"
1t simply means to give money enough
for a glass of beer and smoke to those
who happen to be present when the de-
mand is made. The amount asked for
rarely exceeds FIVE francs.
The next thing that will probably be
demanded of you will be a speech and
q song. It is useless for you to plead
that you are not accustomed to public
speaking. that you do not know French
enough to make yourself Ineligible,
and that you never sang a note in your
life. A speech and song they will
have, and a ready compliance with the
request win BE- the best way out of it.
You can imagine your humble servant
on the top of a high bookcase at one
end of the Atelier Andre, surrounded by
thirty or forty bowling Frenchmen-
making his maiden speech, and that too
IN French, two words Of which do not

Rather than break his resolution not
to part with a single dime under any
circumstances he took the liberty of
requesting the lady to lend him some
change, and when she had none to
ask her to walk home. They were
both very much more willing to walk
than to ride, fancy, and enjoyed
that long stretch to utmost. But it
was very late when the young lady
was admitted to her home, and she
found her parents awaiting her, both
little bit alarmed at her long
absence.
AFTER the departure of her COM
panion the lady explained his mishap
and did it so nicely and with so
much praise of her hero that ber
father changed his opinion of him at
once. He said that q young fellow
who would save money at that price
would get along in life without q
guardian, and he determined to do
all in his power to show friendship
for him. The young people are en-
gagged, of course, and the young
man stands better with his proposed
pater-familias than any one in the
city"
All of which goes to show that it
is good thing to save your dimes.

fees, but stick to the resolution to
part not with the little silver ten

self ahead in every respect. Begin

"a WORD TO THE WISE" ETC.

A New York street-car conductor
of an observing disposition thus
moralizes on the way in which the
fair sex make his life a thing of
weariness: ''Some women are so
peculiar in getting off cars they
are worse at getting off than getting
on. Now, you won't find one man
in five hundred who will get off a
Car holding to the hind rail. He
will take hold of the one next the
car. But every little while you see
woman get off who will freeze to
the hind rail and cling to it for life.
l don't dare start the car until she
has let go, for in order TO get off
that way she has TO face backward,
and if the car started before she let
go, she would be jerked backward
on her head. The proper way to
step off car is in the direction it is
going. But great many women
take hold of the wrong rail and face
the wrong way, as they have to
then, and increase ten-fold their
chances of getting upset. You can
get off a car moving rapidly with
ease, if you have hold of the right
rail and step in the direction the car
is going. But women are peculiar
in more ways than one. Perhaps
it's because they don't have expert

THEORY VS.. REASONING.

A man with a theory only. is not
going to do very effective work in
the unravelling of mysteries. He is
especially out of place if that be his
regular business in connection with
the administration of justice. A
detective or one detailed to do de-
tective work should have no theory,
as it has tendency to warp and
bend the facts that upon investiga-
tion might furnish clue for the So
luton of the mystery. Nearly allmen
who have won distinction by detec-
tive work, have done so because
they followed a scientific and reason
ing method for the elucidation of
the mysterious, and did not allow
themselves to be handicapped with
theories. True, others at times have
been successful, but their success
can only be attributed to luck, for
as rule the man who only employs
theory to help him solve mystery,
finds himself in a hole from which
the only possible chance of being
extricated is by changing his mode
of investigation. This theoretical
system of investigation has been the
cause of failure in many instances,
in bringing the criminal to justice,
whereas effective work would have
been done had theories been aban-
doned and the whole power of the
detective been employed in gather
ing up the facts; after which a
theory could be formulated that
might, if carried out, result sue
cessfully. No fact, no matter how
trivial or apparently inapplicable
should be overlooked while prepar-
ing case of this sort. This is not
question of the activity or earnest
ness on the part of the police, as
there can be hardly any question on
that point. Their duties are tedi-
Gus; and in many cases while prose-
cutting an investigation they are
misdirected but this may accident
ally lead to good results for occa-
sionally they stumble onto a
CLEAN that will light up the crime at
some point, though not sufficiently
strong to reveal the whole, but ii
must not be relied upon for tangible
and certain results; whereas an in
ductive course can be, and the
twists and turns that seem to battle
the best efforts will eventually lead
to straight road with the object
sought for within grasp.
