John Hurst has completed the i'm

one of the most attractive houses in

poses to sell shares at ten dollars
each, and efforts are being made in
Nashville and other cities to raise d
large sum for this worthy cause. We
hope the scheme will work well, sd
that an ample sum may be raised
for the support Of the old hero and
his family. Mr.. Davis is in very bad
health now, and it is feared that he
can not live long. But in the event

The queerest fee | ever heard Of F."
said member of tho bar, "and a fee
that shows the soft side of lawyer,

newsboys' pennies to boot, to ex-Judge

just ninety eight cents, that fee was,

gotten together in this way: Mr.. Rid

the newsboys a dinner which cost him
a thousand or two The boys all loved
him; they all called him Billy, as in

there was trouble in Riddles bank
it was another official there, man
high up in politics and society, who

was in trouble, too. They knew that
money cures many things, and after
moments consultation half a dozen of
them took UP collection. A spokes-

the bank, handed a tiny brown paper

In one of the asylums where are
kept those unfortunates who know so
much that their fellow mortals are
forced in self defense to regard them
as lunaties was an old gentleman who
in his day had been somewhat famous
as teacher. He had been at the
head Of school for boys in which
had been educated soma OF the leading
men of his part of the country, and i
may have been the strain of training
their unusually brilliant intellects that
had SO married his own. He was a
harmless, pleasant old gentleman,
only now and then doing anything
which gave trouble to those about
him, and most of his time he passed
IN celebrating theories in regard to the
best methods of education. His theo-
ries had not always the advantage OF
being practicable, but they were gen
orally at least ingenious, and it would
be rash to say that they were not wise,
since they have not yet been tried.
Il have been thinking a good deal
lately" he observed on one occasion,
''of the difficulty we have nowadays
in teaching boys the languages. There
is an awful sight of work wasted
somewhere, and | have concluded
that after all we make a great mistake
in not going back to the Bible method
after all.
''Ghe Bible method2" repeated his
nearer. "What is that, Mr.. III"
why, don't you remember how
they learned the languages in the BIZ
ble9 They just built big tower and
then they all got struck with the lam
guages without any further trouble"
1t is a pity that no note has been
made of the effect upon the linguistic
powers of the workmen which has
been made by the erection of the
Eiffel tower, for here was an oppor-
tunity of putting Mr.. H. S theory to a
practical test.
On another occasion he spoke of
the attempt to invent flying ma
chimes, and observed with the greatest
solemnity:
''The way to learn to fly is to eat
worms. It's the wiggle in worms
that does it, and if | wanted to teach
boys to fly | should make them eat
worms. 1t is in this way providence
intended them to learn" Boston Cou-

Partisan Dinners.

Princes live well in Paris, and the
ordinary human in Paris can either live
like prince or as cheaply as anywhere
in the world. You can get a table d'hote
dinner in the students quarter of hall
a dozen courses for franc, Or you can
go to Bignon's and pay 500 per cover.
You can get the most delicious coffee
and rolls served in your bedroom with
dainty pats of fresh butter, for fifty
confines, or bowl of bouillon and a
roll on a street corner for thirty CEN
times or about seven cents. The choc-
olate, the coffee, the bread and rolls,
the vegetables, the ice creams and the
confectionery and fancy cakes are a
revelation to Americans. If you I'M
derstand how to order a dinner and
know the French language, you can
live better in Paris, and for less money,
than in any other city on the habitable
globe.
One -,,>.--.-isrUw something about
Paris restaurants, however. 1t is not
because the restaurants are bad. for
they are not. And it is not that the
keepers are any more anxious to fleece
strangers than restaurant keepers gen
orally are, for they are not, in the
main. The trouble is that many visi-
tors TO Paris do not use proper discre.
ton in their choice of eating places
There is nowhere a greater diversity
OF eating houses than in Paris You
can find any kind of restaurant and
any grade of prices. You can geta table
dhote dinner for a little more than a
franc twenty cents, or you can dine
IN one OF the palatial cafes at 500 a
plate. You pay your money and you
take your choice. Again, if you like
English cooking, there are also restau-
rants where you can get it, and there
are German,American, Irish-Amcri-
can, Russian and Roumanian restau-
rants. Unless one knows the ropes, he
will have to steer clear Of the Ia carte
restaurants. Their food is good but
their prices are high, extravagantly
high. New York Star.
