nationalities. He declares that there
is no better place in the world to note
these little oddities than in the smoking-
room of an ocean steamer, adding:
"Now, take Frenchman. If party
are sitting down for smoke, he will
scratch match, wait till the brim-
stone has exhausted itself, and with
smile and gracious bow, will pass it to
his nearest neighbor before lighting his
own weed. The German, after light
ing his own cigar, will then offer the
match to his friend. But the oldest
character of all is the Englishman.
His weed ready for use, he will strike
his match, light his cigar, and without
a thought of the others, will deliber-
ately drop the lucifer into the nearest
receptacle"

IT have lived forty years and can

II was the editor of weil-known
MAGAZINE talking on the subject OF
young girls.
what am I to think of the one that
bothered me for half hour tins morn

up his girls with great care. This IS
Helen, his youngest. She foated in my
office this morning, looking astonish-

about her father, and then she began to
rattle on about the way she was pass
ING the summer out on the Hudson.
Papa has fitted up the cupola OF the
house for me-, said she. I had some
fun painting the walls myself. There
are rugs and table, and some Jolly
easy chairs, and can take my friends
up there in the evening and we
can make as much noise rs we want
without disturbing the family. Its
real fun when there are any men about.
A friend of mine came up the other day,
and I want to tell you something, If
you'll promise truly to keep it secret.
This friend is ON awfully handsome fell
low and just knew that Mignonne-
that's my chum, you know-would try
to get him away from me. Mignonne
bet that if we took him up into the Gu
pola after supper he would try to kiss
her before he tried to kiss me. That
was equivalent to declaring herself
more attactive than I, and it made me
mad, I tell you. But I took her bet
and that night we all went to the cupola.
Pretty soon it grew dark and no one
said word about lighting the gas.
Well, won the bet. Jack tried to kiss
me and never noticed Mignonne at all.
81 looked at the chatterer rather Sc
verely, and asked if Jack succeeded in
his effort to kiss her. Instantly her
animated face grew naughty and angry
in its expression.

young men to kiss me-, she said in freez-
ing tones.
"'But, said I, you let him try. In
what manner did he try?'

around my waist, and we struggled

"And no one offered to pay the boys

Tl,e Paris Catacombs,

At the gates of entrance we were fallen
upon by women selling candles, which
they had arranged on sticks and card
boards so as to keep the sperm from
dripping, writes correspondent. We
fought them oft is scarcely too strong
an expression, SO pressingly, roughly,
a thick, double line of people were
passing and had been passing for over
an hour through narrow door.
An official at the barrier examined
the guides permits, counted us, and on
we went with tapers lit, most curious
procession of hundreds, descending
spiral stair until we were seventy-ive
feet below the city. Then on for if
teen minutes through an arched stone
passage and SO on into the ossuary. A
black line on the vault above was for
merly the guiding mark from entrance
to exit, but the side passages are now
all chained across to prevent people
from getting lost.
The bones are arranged systemetric-
ally on either side of the damp, and in
some places even muddy, path. Legs,
arms and skulls fashion crosses of vari-
GUS forms, while ribs and smaller bones
are piled on top. Every now and again
we arrive at point where the path
widens into circle, and an official
stands with lantern. In one of these
spring wells up. Stalactites in pro-
cess of forming glisten on the vault.
Wierd shadows fall from the CHASTITY
relics of the dead. The tramp, tramp
of the footballs and the murmur of voices
echo and echo again.
We have read it all up for ourselves,
but we listen while the guide explains
that these excavations are ancient quar-
ries extending under nearly all of old
Paris, that when in 1884 (the church,
yards throughout the city having fallen
into bad condition., it became neces-,
sary, for sanitary reasons, to remove
the dead, the quarries were prepared
and duly consecrated, and the bones of
three millions of human beings were re-
moved into these receptacles by night,
with solemn religious rites. Each GEM
etery was kept separate and carefully
marked.
We pause to examine various tablets
fastened here and there with quotations
from Scripture, verses from Latin and
French poets, or moral sentiments in
memory of the dead or for the consola-
ton or warning of the living. After an
hours walk we leave the ossuary, pass
through another stone vault and up q
spiral stair, which brings us out on a
street mile and half from where we
started. An officer stands at the exit to
count us as we emerge, in case of any
one being lost, and crowd of urchins
scramble for the candle which people
throw away.
