A Dit of History,

History makes many mistakes in the appor- tionment of its titles of distinction. Moth ing could be more erroneous than the assump- tion that the establishment of absolute mon- archy in France was the creation of Cardinal Richeleu supplemented by Louis XIV. The credit really belongs to Anne of Austria, daughter of Philip III, king of Spain, and queen of Louis XIII. Louis wAs induced by the artiice of Richelieu to suspect his con sort of complicity in conspiracy. But the queen treated the charge with contempt. The death of the monarch and minister left Anne in undisputed possession of power. She selected Cardinal Mazarin as her minister, whose abilities she made use of without being in danger from his ambition. Tho minister's unpopularity excited an insurrection to which the Spanish pride of the queen was compelled to submit, but civil war soon ensued be- tween Anne, her ministers and their adhe- rents on one side and the nobility and citizens on the other. The court secured the services of Turenne, through whose abilities the aris- tocracies, headed by the great Condo were defeated, and the nobles and the middle classes were never afterwards able to raise their heads against the royal power until the great revolution of l7S9 The queen, mother of Louis XIV, died on Jan. 20, 1656, at the age of 64-Philadelphia Times.

THE END.
The Talinud.

Rabbi E. L. Hess of the Mount Zion syna- gogue has some valuable books in his library. He has, what comparatively few persons pos sess, complete copy of the Talmud, in twelve volumes, folio, of the Frankfort edi- tion of 1888. This enormous work, enabody- ing the accretions of ages of Jewish comment and exegesis on the law, has never been trans lated into English in its entirety. A very small portion of it, indeed, is accessible to English readers There have been reports of complete English translations forthcom- ing, but you should receive such reports with incredulity," said Rabbi Hess. II don't be- ieve the Talmud will ever be completely rem dered into English. You see, in the original Hebrew, or rather Aramaic, it is not com pressed into less than twelve volumes, and to render it into an English equivalent would take many more volumes, for the Hebrew language is so condensed in expression that thero are small sentences on page which would require several pages of foolscap in English to properly and clearly render. There are, moreover, comparatively few who have really read the Talmud through" :" Rabbi Hess has also one of the only four copies in existence in the world of Yakoub Ben Shenmeth's Commentary, published in 1909. This raro book is worth several hun tlred dollars.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

EnrIy Balloon Asccnfs.

The following. taken out of an old book. says a writer in The Leeds Mer cury, will give an idea how the early balloons were inflated, and will show. also, that Baldwin's decent in a para chute is an old invention: 'On Sept. 21, 1902. M Garnerin filled his balloon with hydrogen gas at St. Georges Parade, North Audley street. The gas was made from diluted sulphuric acid, together with quantity of iron filings, placed iii thirty-three casks to generate, and by communication with three larger casks or receivers, and then by tubes to the balloon. At 6 o'clock the balloon rose with its long appendage of the parachute, the aeronaut in the little basket. Tens of thousands of spectators were fixed in astonishlnent and admiration at the gal lant adventurer. For eight minutes the balloon continued to ascend till it ar rived at such an immense height as to be scarcely visible. When Garnerin cut away from the balloon the parachute did not expand immediately. It fell with great velocity for short space of time, when it opened, and the descent became gradual, but attended with remarkable oscillation like a pendulum of a clock. These vibrations became less as the ground was neared. The balloonist de scended in field near tho smallpox hos. pital at St. Pancras without injury to himself or the parachute.

The Growth of Berlin.

One of the morning journals recently published statistics showing the growth of Berlin during the last seventeen years, Removed as it is far from the sea coast, and situated upon river which is only such in name. the rapid development of the Prussian metropolis is one of the marveis of the age. From 1870 to 1887 Berlin almost doubled it's population, adding 6S9. 100 toits numbers, averaging S7,59a each year. During the same period the number of lots built upon grew to 6,l87. or an annual increase of 3G4. h tlse year 1870 there were fifty-six persons to every lot upon which house stood. In 1873 this had increased to sixty, in 1879 to sixty-one, in 1883 to sixty-ivo. and i'll 1887 to seventy-cne. The density of the population has constantly in- creased. The average rent of dwelling in 1870 was 479 marks. which in 1887 had risen to 640 marks, or about $160. Berlin has over 1.5C0,0 ,000 inhabitants at the present time. Berlin Letter.

Ball Room NIisl,aps.

A well known society man stroked his mus tache the other day and thus held forth:
 ''The most amusing thing ever saw at a dancea Well, I'll tell you two and you can take your choice. No. 1 was at small dance party given at private house. It was late in the evening, and when the music died away after a waltz, and the dancers had seated themselves around the room, there, lying in open sight in the center of the room, lay beautiful silk garter. My first impulse was to step forward and pick it up and look for the owner, but l was afraid she would not thank mo for my trouble, so the trinket lay where it was until maid was actually sent with dustpan and brush, and the of lending article was swept from the floor, while the guests tried vainly not to sec what was going on. At another party the over skirt of one of the ladies who was dancing collapsed, and hung limp and formless where 1t had previously swelled in triumphant pride. Tho cause of this sudden metamorphosis was the loss of newspaper, which was found on tho floor, and when it was picked up Q nasty glance showed that the particular journal that had been dedicated to this purpose was the Christian at Work.-Philadelphia Press

An urcomiortxbic s,tu.,ion.

Col. Ryan. the manager of Prencott & Varnelfs museum in St. Louis, tells the following narrow escape which he had from being killed by tl.e snakes of his show: ''Wc had ninety seven ser pents on exhibition. and some were enor- nous specimens eighteen 10 twenty-five feet long. These were confined in glass covered cage, the top of which, having been. broken, -was temporarily held in place by stick. Maj Varnell and mvsl!t had sleeping apartments at the head of q stairway. directly above. One night we returned and dropped languidly into bed without lighting the gas. After little felt something en- cumbering my lower limbs and heard a harsh. grating sound all over the room. Attempting to rise. found to my horror that my feet were bound, and by fash of lightning that passed at that mo ment I saw an immense boa constructor wrapped about them. Striking match shackled together by ths serpents. One Iugc anaconda was also coiled on the Ma aiors breast.
 "Eo make matters worse. the flicker ing matchlight in the gloom had at tracted q host of reptiles. and anacondas. rattlers, garters. black snakes. vipers, cobras and copperheatls soon began to congregate. hiss. scrape their rasp like, scaly bodies over our ears, crawl their clammy selves over our faces and breathe their breath upon our flesh. Great drops of precipitation stood out on our faces as we signaicd each other to keep still and silent. To speak would have been but to transfer the attention of the reptiles to ourselves. The snakes in short time began a fierce battle between themselves. and the suspense grew awful. as help less we lay. not daring to move if we could, and listened to the writhing, struggling forms and fangs in the horrid work of wasting their hateful venom upon each other But soon our jailers. to our delight, took Il hand in the row. and unwound their coils from our limbs. Once free. it was but few moments work to light the gas. get brooms and by the arts known to the profession. drive them into big box that was convenient. We found that they had knocked the stick down. escaped through the roof of the glass case and crawled up into ouI room for warmth. Louis Globe Democrat

 But she did not see any memory in it. She thought it was tao cruel gray river in tho strange white city; and she cried to it; and went out into the old familiar ways, and know mono of them: and ran feebly yet fleetly through the bushes and flowers, looking up once at the stars with helpless broken blind look, like a thing that is dying.
 "Ee does not want nle!' she said to theIn 'He does not want me-other women kiss him there!'
 Then with q low fluttering sound like a birds when its wings are shot, and yet it tries to rise, she lowered moment over the water, and stretched her arms out to it.
 "He does not want mer' she murmured ''hc does not want me-and I am so tired. Dear Godr'
 Then she crept down, as weary child creeps to its mother and threw herself for ward, and let the green dark waters take her where they had found her amidst the lilies, a little laughing yearling thing.
 There she soon lay, quite quiet, with her facc turned to the stars, and the starhng poised above to watch her as she slept
 She had been only Bebee-the ways of God and man had been too hard for her.
 When the messengers of Flamen came that day, they took him back q dead moss rose and a pair of little wooden shoes worn through with walking.

 Sue let them do as they liked, only she s-ssr,ed neither to hear nor speak, ard she never spoke.
 All that Jeaanot could tell was that he had folnd her in Paris and had saved her from th5 river
 Tho women were sorrowful, and re- preached themselves. Perhaps she had done wrong, but they had been harsh, and she was so young.
 The two little sabots with the holes worn through the soles touched them; and they blamed themselves for having shut their hearts and their doors against her they saw the fixed blue eyes, without any light in them, and the pretty mouth closed close against either sob or smile.
 After all she was Bebee-tbe little bright blithe thing that had danced with their chil- dren. and sung to their singing, and brought them always tho first roses of the year. If she had been led estray they should have been gentler with her.
 So they told themselves and each other.

 But Bebee now lay quite still and silent on hei- little bed; as quiet as the waxcn Gesu that they laid ill the manager at the Nativity.

 But she never spoke; nor did she seem tc know any one of them. Not even the star ling, as he flew on her pillow and called her.
 "Give her rest, they all said; and one by one moved away, being poor folk and hard working, and unable to lose a whole day.
 Mere Krebs stayed with her, and Jeannot sat in tho porch where her little spinning wheel stood, and rocked himself to and fro in vain agony, powerless.
 He had done all he could, and it was of TIC avail.
 Then people who had loved her, hearing, came up the green lanes from the city-the cobbier and the tinman, and the old woman who sold saints pictures by the Broodhuis. The Varnhart children hung about the gar den wicket, frightened and sobbing. Old Jehan beat his knees with his hands, and said only over and over again, Another dead another dead!-the red mill and I see them all dead!"
 The long golden day drifted away, and the swans swayed to and fro. and the willows grew silver in the sunshine
 Bebee, only, lay quite still and never spoke. Tho starling sat above her head; his wings dropped and he was silent too.
 Towards sunset Bebee raised herself and called aloud: they ran to her.
 "Get me rosebud-one with the moss round it," she said to them.
 They went out into the garden and brought her one wet with dew. She kissed it and laid it in one of her little wooden shoes that stood upon the bed.

A village in New England came into possession of neat and much needed town hall. the gift of public spirited citi- zens. When completed. q meeting was held to dedicate the new building. Speeches were made by prominent citi- zens. and special reference was naturally made to the chief bcnefactor, and to those who had been most active in for warding the enterprise.
 One speaker mentioned the names of five or six of these citizens. and sug- gested that vote of thanks be rendered them. This was done.
 A moment later q little wizcn faced old man arose in the back part of the hall, and, in sharp, penetrating voice, called:
 ''Mr. Chcerman! MT. Cheerman"
 The speaker being recognized, he pro- cecded:

On the other hand, a fondness for petty pill fering is universal.

 Then her head dropped; then momentary consciousness died out, the old dull, lifeless look crept over her face again like the shadow of death.

 Night fell. Mere Krebs watched beside her Jeannot went down to the old church to beseech Heaven with all his simple, igno- rant, tortured soul The villagers hovered about, talking in low, sad voices, and won dering, and dropping one by one into their homes. They were sorry, very sorry; but what could they dol
 It was quite night. The lights were put out in the lane. Jeannot with Father Fran cis, prayed before the shrine of the Seven Sorrows. Mere Krebs slumbered ill her rush bottomed chair; she was old and worked hard Tho starling was awake. Bebec rose ill her bed and looked around, as she had done when she asked for the moss rosebud
 A sense of unutterable universal pain ached over all her body.
 She did not see her little home, its four l white walls, its lattice shining in the moon, | its wooden bowls and plates, its oaken shelf and presses its plain familiar things that once | had been so dear-she did not see them-she l only saw the brown woman with her arm about his throat.
 She sat up in her bed and slipped her feet on to the floor; the pretty little rosy feet that he l had used to want to clothe in slken stockings. Poor little feet! she felt 0 curious compas- sion for them; they had served her so well, | and they were so tired.
 l She sat up a moment with that curious dull agony, aching everywhere in body and in brain. She kissed the rosebud once more and laid 1t gently down in the wooden shoe She did not see anything that was around her.
