o. OF these, July IA is the popular French
holiday or Independence Day" As is well
known, the revolution went on to much
greater changes, but these were the main
events of 1889
Not long after the general paciication of
1915 the nations of Europe began to extend
the scope of those great fairs which have been
held for centuries at noted places. Among
these that of Novgorod obtained a wonderful
celebrity, and 'Donnybrook fair" in Ireland,
thoug this reputation is rather comical, was
really an occasion of great commercial and
industrial importance Previous to the Ma
poleonic wars the fairs at which many ma
tions were represented were chiefly in the
eastern border of Europe or in Asia, as was
natural in the days of great caravans; and
the English were the first to make brilliant
success in the west. 1t is scarcely possible to
convey to the younger generation fair idea
of the interest created by the worlds fair and
Crystal palace of 1851. The fair was not only
a wonder in itself, and the palace marvel
of skill, but they came at a time when, by
an extraordinary combination of events the
whole world was at peace. All classes of the
English people entered into the scheme with
dent support and her husband, the prince
eonsort, devoting his entire time to it. The
occasion was 50 peculiar that enthusiasm
easily ran into fanaticism, and prophets ran
to and fro, and grave divines gave their
opinion that as this was the first era since the
advent of Christ in which all nations were at
peace, so there would be, as in the time of
Christ, universal movement of the nations,
and finally one language and religion.
Some of the figures on the first worlds fair
still create amazement. For the main build
ings more material was gathered than that in
the pyramids Of Egypt, and no less than 240
plans were drawn, examined and rejected be-
fore the form of the Crystal palace could be
determined, the great difficulty being the
support of the immense arched roof. The
plan was after all the result of combination
or compromise and so peculiar that no fair
conception OF it can be presented in words

HER CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION IS
THE MARVEL OF THE NATIONS.

Before the Show Is Over 1t Is Proposed
to Celebrate the Doings of i1S0-Some
Notes Regarding Great Expositions Of
Previous Years.
The French propose to spread the big expo
sition with which they will celebrate the CEN
tennial of the beginning of their revolution all
through summer. They have invited all the
world and his wife TO assist in the festivities
and the invitation has been and will be very
generally accepted. Every month of the
coming season will bring one or more noted
centennial days from the meeting of the
states general on the 9th of May, 1852 TO the
final smashing of the old regime the next au-
tumn; and each day is to be properly signal
lied. One may, therefore, properly consider
the great events of 1889 before taking note OF
the wonders of the exposition, from the mar
velous gardens and arches to the Eiifel tower,
the tallest structure IN the world.
1t may be said that the germs of the French
revolution were planted during the long
reign of Louis XIV, who drove the Protes-
tants out of France and exhausted the people
by long wars and excessive taxation 1t was
clearly proved near the close of his reign that
the rural peasant only got one-twelfth of

died in the woods with grass and bark In
their mouths which they had gnawed in the
rage of hunger. In the reign of Louis XIV
the John Law bank and Mississippi scheme
ruined the mercantile classes, and though
there was a tightening of burdens under
Louis XVI and Marie Antonette, 1t came
too late to appease the popular rage. In
February, 1857, was convened the assembly
of the notables-lH officials and noblemen.
They declined to tax their estates and local
instructions began. Then the king convened
the states general or ancient parliament,
which had not come together since 1914. 1t
met in Paris on the 9th of May, 1889, and
this is regarded as the beginning of the
French revolution-five days after the lnau-
guration of George Washington.
The mobiles and clergy in the states general
insisted ON their ancient privileges, and on
the 18th of June the deputies of the third
estaten-that is, the middle class-declared
themselves the sole representatives and or
ganized into the noted national assembly. On
the Goth the king sent soldiers to prevent
their meeting; they gathered in a tennis
court took a solemn oath to change the gov

convention On the 18th of July the common
people rose en- masse and seized the public
arms. On the 18th they stormed and cap
tured the Bastile On the 4th of August the
convention by one sweeping act abolished all
feudal forms and all special rights and privi-
leges. On the 2lst of September the conven-
ton completed its work of providing for "A

the people stormed the palace, killed many
of the kings guards and virtually compelled
him to accept the new order, including uni

How He Caught . Confidence Man Who
 Dealt in Counterfeit Money.
 There used to be young blind man who sold cigars at stand on Winter street or thereabouts, says the Boston Transcript. Ordinarily the sales were of single cigars or small packages of cigarettes, and the dealer, being expert in the handling of coins, had no difficulty in making change Sometimes paper money would be given him and then the blind man had to trust the honor of his patrons not to give counter feits. One day man came to him who wanted to buy a lot of cigars, and offered a fve-dollar note in payment. The blind man trusted his honesty, took the five-dollar bill, and gave what change was due him in sil yer. The bill proved to be counterfeit Some tune afterward the swindler, feeling secure in the inability of the dealer to iden- tify hlm, came back to the blind mans stand and bought cigar
 1T should think,'' he said nonchalantly to the dealer, that you'd sometimes have counterfeit money pas sed on you"
 70, no,'' said the dealer, ''nobody would impose on poor blind man like mel
 'sSo2" said the sharper. His victim had thrown him off his guard. Evidently" he thought, ''the blind man succeeded in pass ing the bill, and nobody discovered that it was bad till. it got into the third or fourth mans hands. So here's a chance to get him again."
 ''Of course," said the sharper again, aloud, 'snobody would come such game on you. By the way,I got a lot of cigars of you while ago that were good. Got any more of the same sort!'
 "Yes, sir'
 "An right I'll take another five dollars worth."
 The blind man got up like flash and seized him by the arms.
 'So you're the man that passed the counterfeit five-dollar bill on me, are you!'' he exclaimed. Help! thlefH'
 There was a crowd on the street, and the man had plenty of help to secure the swindler, who was promptly marched off te the station, where quite a supply of coun terfeit money was found on his person

 H. B. Parker, of Salem, Ill.,, relates good bird story, which he sends to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat: II was engaged in the monument and tombstone business," he writes, land made and put up in the Cath olic cemetery of Southern Illinois town stone imitation of q rustic cross, standing on pile of rocks. Some few days after set the cross up I had some other work to do in the cemetery and my attention was called to large woodpecker of the yellow hammer variety very lndustriously tapping away at my cross 1 said to myself: Old fel- low. don't think you will pan out very well on that stump watched him with some curiosity. He came to the same conclusion apparently inN little while, and flew to a dead tree that had been left standing about twenty feet from the cross, tried that awhile, and then flew back to the cross, seemingly puzzled to account for things, then backward and forward for some little time, testing the difference apparently, when all of a sudden he left and started for the timber, about half a mile distant
 1T continued my work, thinking more of the matter, but in the course of half an hour, I should judge, on looking up saw some ten or twelve birds over my head mak ing toward the cross, one seemingly in the lead, who lit on the cross and commenced tapping for dear life. Most of the others lit on the tree, but finally all got to work on the cross. sat down and watched the pro- ceedings. The origin al woodpecker seemed to be running the business, as he would fly back and forward from tree to cross till he had them all at work picking away. They did not seem to be very well satisfied, but he would, as it looked to me, encourage them by seemingly getting something for is>.work by his actions. so judged any way. At last he flew back on the tree by himself, watching them, and l thought could see gleam of fun Ill his eyes. He then, as they were all busily engaged, gave one of his woodpeckerian screeches, and left for the woods in high glee. The rest looked at each other, and came to the con clusion that they were settling in their minds, if they had any, that they were sold and looked mad; and they all started hot foot for the timber.
 'sIt was then about time for dinner, and started for home somewhat amused at the affair.
 s'After dinner I went back to finish my work, and had to pass the cross on my way many feathers lying around in the lot, all from the yellow-hammer bird. couldn't account for them, and went up to the cross to examine more closely, when discovered dead woodpecker lying on the rock at the foot of the cross every feather picked as clean as possible and his head all picked to | pieces. came to the conclusion that it was l -he joker who had paid so dear for his fun

Her advice to beginners is to study the classics constantly and in- dustriously in order to avoid tWadc;le and commonplace expression.
