Tho Fair seq in France.

Place aux danes. The fair sex Of
all classes Of society are just now dis
tinguishing themselves in the French
capital. What with lady doctors,
lady artists, lady politicians, and lady
agitators Of all colors, they are max
ing remarkable progress. Should they
continue to advance at the present
rate, their male rivals will have to
look to their laurels. The Parisienne
is evidently determined to show that
she is fit and able to become public
character. Too long has she been kept
in the background to tend the chill
dren and mend the stockings. The
time hasarrived TO prove to the world,
and particularly TO their masculine
tyrants, that women are really superb
or beings, and capable of taking care
Of themselves in the struggle for life.
They have not yet obtained the right
OF political voting, and consequently
cannot DO deputies, but they look for
ward to that victory at an early pc
riod, and say they will not be satisfied
until they get it. They hold that, be-
ing forced 70 pay taxes, they are en-
titled to have voice in the affairs Of
the nation. In any. case, they con-
tend, with some reason, that things
could not possibly be worse than they
are, and in all probability would be
infinitely better. London Globe.

1.-THE BARRING OF THE DOOR,"
The Eastern Incident Which Furnished
the Theme Of . Scottish Song

Tho Eastern Incident Which Furnished
the Theme Of . Scottish Song.
It is not generally known that the in
cident which forms the subject Of the
droll Scottish song, 1.-THE Barring Of
the Door," which also occurs in the
Nights" Of Straparola, is Of eastern
origin. In an Arabian tale q block
head having married his pretty cousin,
gave the customary feast to their re-
lations and friends. When the festivi-
ties were over he conducted his guests
to the door, and, from absence of
mind, neglected to shut it before re-
turning to his wife.
Dear cousin" said his wife to him
Gssa sssy ~sss Be- a sa shss
indeed" he replied, III I did such a
thing. Am just made q bridegroom,
clothed in silk, wearing a shawl and
dagger set with diamonds, and am I
to 60 and shut the door9 Why, my
dear, you are crazy. Go and shut II
yourself" "Oh, indeed" exclaimed
the wife. IAN I, young, robed in a
dress of lace and precious stones, am ]
to go and shut the street door9 No, in
deed! It is you who have become
crazy, and not I. Come, let us make
bargain" she continued, land let
the first who speaks go and fasten the
door," Agreed" said the husband,
and Immediately he became mute, and
the. wife, too, was silent, while they
both sat down, dressed as they were in
their nuptial attire, looking at each
other and seated on opposite sofas.
Thus they remained for two hours.
Some thieves happened to pass by,
and, seeing the door open, entered and
laid hold of whatever came to their
hands. The silent couple heard foot.
steps in the house, but opened not
their mouths. The thieves came into
room and saw them seated motionless,
and apparently Indifferent to all that
might take place. They continued
their pillage, therefore, collecting to.
gether every valuable, and even drag
ging away the carpet from beneath
them; they laid their hands on the
noodle and his wife, taking from their
person every article Of jewelry, while
they, in fear Of losing the wager. said
not word.
Having thus cleared tho house the
thieves departed quietly, but the pair
continued to sit, uttering not sylla-
BILE. Toward morning police officer
came past on his tour Of inspection,
and seeing the door open walked in.
After searching all the rooms and and
ing no persons, he entered their apart
ment and inquired the meaning OF
what he saw. Neither OF them would
condescend to reply. The officer be-
came angry and ordered their heads to
be cut of. The executioner's sword
was about to perform its Office when
the wife cried out, "Sir, he is my hus.
band. Do not kill himi" "Ohi oh u
exclaimed the husband, overjoyed, and
clapping his hands, "you have lost the
wager; go and shut the door," he
then explained the whole affair to the
police officer, who shrugged his shout.

How it Should Read.

The following is from "Our Boys
and Girls department in Philadel-
phia Times:
You all remember the discussion
we had some time ago about the lit
tie prayer beginning
"Now | lay me down to sleep"
and how we showed you that the
second line should read
Il pray Thee, Lord, my soul to keep"
and not
Il pray the Lord my soul to keep"
as nearly everybody writes it.
Well, it is strange how many peo-
pie who ought to know better make
that mistake. We have recently
seen the lines quoted in two of the
best periodicals for young people in
the country, and in both of them the
wrong version was given.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1889-05-18

to reply. He went to the post-office
and made complaint, and for the next
two weeks that lost order was the topic
of conversation. The officials sought to
trace the letter, and Mr.. Bowser made
afhdavits to this and that, and the hunt
was still going on when, in busting off
his secretary and STRENGTHENING up his
loose papers, l found a letter sealed
and addressed to the Boston firm.
had no doubt it contained the missing
oroer. quietly handed it to MIR.
Bowser as he came up to dinner, and
his face turned all colors before he
could open it.
"Mr. Bowser," l said, "vou men
folks have curious ways of doing busi-
ness. 1t is sing"
"Id like to know how this letter got
here y he demanded.
"You left 1t here, of course"
"Never! Because l scolded you
about your careless way of sending off
money, and because you wanted to get
even with me for 1t, you took this letter
from my pocket and detained 1t. Mrs.
Bowser, this is the last straw to the
camel's load Do you want ali-money
or lump sum-"
Next day he was all right again, and
he even stopped at the sale and brought
me up half dozen pairs OF gloves.

UNDER THE VI0LETS.

Her hands are cold; her face is white;
No more her pulses come and go;
Her eyes are shut to life and light;
Fold the light vesture, snow on snow,
And lay her where the violets blow.
But not beneath a craven stone,
To plead for tears with alien eyes:
A slender cross of wood alone
Shall say that here a maiden lies
In peace beneath the peaceful skies.
And gray old trees of hugest limb
Shall wheel their circling shadows round
To make the scorching sunlight dim,
That drinks the Sreenness from the ground
And drop their dead leaves on the mound.
When DER their boughs the squirrels run,
And through their leaves the robins call,
And, ripening in the Autumn sun,
The acornS and the Chestnuts TALL,
Doubt not that she will h heed them all.
For her the morning choir shall sing
Its mathis from the branches high,
And every minstrel voice of Spring,
That thrills beneath the April sky
Shall greet her with its earliest cry.
When, turning round their dial track,
Eastward the lengthening shadows pass
Her little mOurnerS, clad in black,
The crickets, sliding through the grass,
Shall pipe for her an evening mass.
At last the rOotlets OF the trees
Shall find the prison where she lies,
And bear the buried dust t.ey seize
In leaves and blossoms to the skies
So may the soul that warm'd it rise 4,
II any, born of kindlier blood,
Should ask. What maiden lies below?''
Say only this: "a tender bud,
That tried to blossom in the snow
Lies withered where the violets blow

THEY HADN'T ANY FRIENDS THERE

The suggestion that DR.. Goodman,
whose father made the prayer at Presi-
dent Harrison Inauguration in IS4I,
should perform like service for his
grandson on the fourth of March last,
recalls to my mind a famous prayer
made in the hall of the House of Rep
resentatives sixty. odd years ago. The
occasion was the obsequies of ex-Pres-
ideLts Jefferson and Adams, who had
died on July 4, 1896, fifty years after
signing their names to the Declaration
of Independence Rev. DR.. Balch,
famous Presbyterian preacher, located
at Charleston, Va, was invited to make
the "long prayer" as it was then called.
Now, the good clergyman had habit
OF opening and closing his eyes as he
prayed, and he always made the same
prayer in exactly the same words, one
petition of which was "that it may
please Thee to root out of the earth
whatever worketh lie, and especially
subvert and confound the Pope Of
Rome and all of his adherents" for
in those times people spoke their minds
honestly. The great day came, and
DR.. Balch was going swimmingly through
his prayer, when just as he came to the
above petition, he opened his eyes, and
the horrible fact dawned upon him that
Archbishop Eccleston, of Baltimore,
and the rest OF the Roman Catholic
hierarchy were seated in one corner of
the chamber. 1t was too late to stop
and change horses, so he went on
tumultuously. "That 1t may please
Thee to root out of the earth whatsoever
worketh a lie, and specially to subvert
and confound -the-the Hotten-
tots" "But, Doctor" said a friend
that day little later on: "Wny did
you make the Hottentots the special
object of your wrath?" 81 knew they
hadn't any friends there, anyhow" was
the truthful reply.-Phila. Record.
