Sunday I'm Paris.

Every year Partisan tradespeople are
becoming less disposed to Sunday shop
keeping and there are even fewer arti-
sans TO be seen at work than was formerly
the case, says a correspondent. The in
habitants of the proverbially lively city
have not, of course, adopted the strict
Sabbatarianism Of their British neigh
bors, and it is even doubtful il many of
them patronize the metropolitan churches
on Sunday mornings. Their great OBJ
ject seems to be TO extract as much ra-
tional amusement as possible out of the
one day in the week when they are not
tied down to their eternal desks, ledgers
and counters. Dissipation there may be
in some cases, and there is much I'M
godly revelry carried on during Sunday
evenings in second class cafes, low dane
ing saloons and absinthe reeking resorts
of the "Assommoir" type; but the re-
spectacle portion of the community takes
its holiday in a decent fashion, and en-
joys itself in manner at which only the
sourest disciple of Calvin or the most
melancholy minded follower of Me-
lancthon could cavil. Serious, steady
and respectable Parisians walk leisurely
in the Champs Elysees on Sundays, when
the weather permits, or attend morning
performances in the theatres or the after
noon concerts Then they go home to
dinner and have family reunion, or
wind up by quiet game Of cards or
draughts in a favorite cafe.-Boston

A burglar entered house at Water
ford. Ireland, and after purloining every
thing he could find he prepared to re-
move a large Photographic camera that
was standing on table. In some way
he touched off a magnesium flash light
attachment that was part of the machine,
and fled precipitately when the thing
fared up. The next day it was found
that the camera had taken the photo
graph Of the burglar. The negative was
placed in the hands of the police, and by
It's aid they quickly nabbed their man.

under his arm, while he carried a sack
over his shoulder with valuable pieces of
plate. books. etc.. and was gazing at the
flash light in open mouthed amazement.

Will my Youngest American readers
my very youngest-please give me their
attention.
All, here You are! Well, my little
ones, as you very soon are 50 begin TO
learn your letters, ii, indeed. you are not
already learning them. il may interest
you 10 know that the babies of other
countries, as well as baby Americans,
are expected To know their alphabets at
a very early age; and some of them, be-
cause there are more letters in their
alphabets, have even harder time than
you do. Some again have less TO learn.
For instance, as sprightly and learned
correspondent informs this pupil, the
Sandwich Island alphabet has only IL
letters; the Burmese, 10; the Italian, 20;
the Bengalese, 81; the Hebrew, Syriac,
Chaldee, Samaritan and Latin, % each;
the French, %: the Greek, "a; the Ger
man and Dutch, 90 each; the Spanish
and Slavonic, % each. But, on the other
hand, the Arabic has %; the Persian and
Coptic, ~; the Georgian, 80: the Arme-
nian, 80; the Russian, Al; the Muscovite,
43; the Sanskrit and Japanese. 90; the
Ethiopic and Tartaric, 2O2.
If this information bewilders you, my
poor little letter learners, don't mind it.
1t will keep. One of these days you will
be big and able to play tag. and, later on,
baseball In these languages. Then, few
letters, more or less, in any one Of them,
will be matter of small consequence 70
you. Even now, l dare say, after what
/ have told you, you'd be able to play
with the letter blocks OF any country. In
truth, if were you, think should pre-
fer box of Ethiopic or Tartaric letter
blocks to begin whilst Nicholas.

The forthcoming August number of
the Century will contain IA chapter on
Lincoln and the Churches" in the
Lincoln History by Messrs. Hay and
Nicolay, from the advance sheets of
which we make the following extract:
He was man of profound and intense
religious feeling. We have no purpose
of attempting To formulate his creed ;
we question if he himself ever did so.
There have been swift witnesses who,
Judging from expressions uttered in his
callow youth, lave called him an atheist,
and others who with the most laudable
intentions, have remembered improba
bic conversations which they bring for
ward to prove at once his orthodoxy and
their own intimacy with him. But
leaving aside these apocryphal evil
dences, we have only to look at his
authentic public and private utterances
To see how deep and strong in all the
latter part of his life was the current of
his religious thought and emotion. He
continually invited and appreciated, at
their highest value, the prayers of good
people. The pressure of the tremendous
problems by which he was surrounded;
the awful moral significance of the
conflict in which he was the chief com
blatant; the overwhelming sense of per-
sonal responsibility, which never left
him for an hour-all contributed To pro-
duce, in temperament naturally seri-
Gus and predisposed TO a spiritual view
of life and conduct, a sense of reverent
acceptance of the guidance of Superior
Power From that morning when,
standing amid the falling snowtlakes on
the railway car at Springfield, he asked
the prayers of his neighbors in those
touching phrases whose echo rose that
night in invOcations from thousands of
family affairs, to that memorable hour
when, on the steps of the Capitol he
humbled himself before his Creator in
the sublime words of the second inau-
gural. there is not an expression known
to have come from his lips or his pen
but proves that he held himself answer
able in every act of his career to more
august tribunal than any on earth. The
fact that he was not COMMUNICATE of
any church, and that he was singularly
reserved in regard TO his personal re-
lgious life, gives only the greater force
to these striking proofs of his profound
reverence and faith"
