Fallen on Evil DAYS,

hear sad news about Isabelle, the flower
girl Of the Paris Jockey club in the palmy
days OF the Third empire. Mr.. Whitehurst,
then the Paris correspondent of The Daily
Telegraph, introduced her TO the notice of
the English public, and both in Paris and
London she became quite a parsonage. She
was not pretty girl-rather the reverse
but she was what the French in untrans-
latable phrase call chic. She wore fancy
costume, stood at the door OF the Jockey
Climb when no races were ON, and was al
ways to be found at the foot of their grand
stand at Longchamps when the grand
2rize was being run.
IL was there the Empress Eugene saw
her first, bought her flowers, and took a
fancy TO her. In those now far Off DAYS
Isabelle on state occasions wore in her hat
gold buckle, with her initials in brilliant,
present from the empress When the
empire fell and the Germans entered Paris
lsabelles joyous reign was over. She was
still the flower girl of the jockey club even
under the republic, but it proved differ
ent state Of things. Her fortunes gradu-
ally fell away. till now I hear from one
who knew her in her palmy days and has
helped her In her distress that she has
been sold up and turned out of her little
shop, where to the last she sold flowers

One Useful Cigar.

Il Is told of a sea captain who died not
long ago that be was formerly in command
Of ship in which passengers were carried
from New York to some of the islands. On
one occasion the ship caught fire, aud the
passengers and crew were compelled to
take hurriedly to the boats.
The captain remained perfectly cool
throughout all the confusion and fright OF
the embarkatioG, and at last every one ex-
cept himself was got safely into the boats.
By the time he was ready to follow the
passengers were almost wild with fear and
excitement. Instead of hurrying down the
ladder the captain called out to the sailors
to hold ON a minute, and taking cigar
from his pocket coolly lighted it with a
bit of burning shroud which had fallen
from the rigging at his feet. Then he de-
scepded with deliberation, and gave the
order 70 push Off
"How could you stop to light cigar at
such momentg he was asked afterward,
when some of the passengers were talking
over their escape.
Because" he answered, 81 saw that if
did not do something to divert the minds
OF those in the boat there was likely to be
panic, and, overcrowded as it was, there
was danger of It's being upset. The act
took but n moment, but it attracted the
attention of everybody. You all forgot
yourselves because you were thinking
about my curious behavior, and we got of
safely. youths Companion.
