1t is very odd that Frenchmen
should be SO fond of copying English
ways and using fragments of British
speech. No language is improved by
crude importationsfrom other tongues,
and most of the English words which
have come into general use in France
AVE been annexed in the crudest man
ner possible often with no clearer
understanding of their meaning than
the lady who had invited some friends
pour tiveocloquer a six heures." As
for pronunciation-that, Of course, is
impossible. The word club, for in
stance, has long been a French posses
sion; but it has usually been pro
nounced 'clib." Now it has been dis
covered by the arbiters of chic, who
not so long ago were called la haute
gomme-French slang is very feeting
that "cloob" is nearer the English
style, and "cloob" it is henceforth to
be.-Paris Letter.

Remember that there are few things
one is so 10th TO loan as books-if we
except money. 1t is curious, too, that
a book, like au umbrella, is commonly
reckoned public property. Few peo-
pie trouble themselves to return it.
Considering the vast cost of even an
unpretending library, this is very ex-
asperating to the eager book hunter,
who makes many annual sacrifices
that he may add a few choice volumes
TO his meager store.
He may defend himself, however,
if he will. He may politely decline to
lend his treasures. When you have
borrowed a book you have no possible
excuse for loaning it on your own re-
sponsibility. To do so is to violate every
law of good faith, and to incur either
the open or tacit d~ispleasure of the
friend who obliged you. Chicago

! WILKES BOOTHS TRUNKS.
They Were Picked Up nrom a wrrke
Iessel RnlnH nnsh.a .na S.lL

They We're Pickles Up from a wrnked
Tessel Below Quebec and Sold.
Thomas Casey, atypical Irishman of
50 years or more, stood in front of the
Opera house in Detroit, Mich, ~in:ently
studying the show bill that bore the
name of Edwin Booth, who was play
ing an engagement there. He asked a
man who was standing near him if Ed
win Booth vas any relation to j.
Wilkes Booth. Being assured that he
was, Mr.. Casey repaired to the hotel to
tell Mr.. Booth the following remarka.
BILE story:
In June, 1865, while Mr.. Casey was
an a%uctioneer in Quebec, a schooner
called the Emma loaded at Montreal
with oil for Nassau. In the cargo
were seven large trunks marked ~.
W. B., Nassau, TO be called for" The
schooner passed Quebec, but a short
distance below that city a storm struck
her and she was wrecked. The crew
and officers were never seen, but the
derelict was picked up by some Quebec
sailors, who claimed salvage.
The goods recovered were put into
the admiralty court to be sold, and
Thomas Casey was the auctioneer to
whom the sale was intrusted. He
opened the seven trunks and found
them filled with rich velvet suits,
jeweled daggers, armors helmets,
plumes and various other theatrical ac.
c~essories. Old letters bearing the adj
dress of ~. Wilkes Booth" and hun.
dreds of tickets with the initials ~.
w. B." were also found.
The. goods were much damaged by
water. For some of them there was
no call, and Mr.. Casey kept them.
The sailors realized $500, and $500 was
deposited to the credit of ]. Wilkes
Booth or his heirs. Mr.. Casey had
never heard of j. Wilkes Booth.
Away down in Quebec he took but lit
tie interest in the affairs that were
then interesting the American mind,
and he made no effort to find the
owner, who, he then supposed, was
drowned on the Emma, nor had he
any interest in inquiring for Booths
relatives. In the lapse of time the af-
fair escaped his memory and he did
not think OF itagain. Casey's endeav-
or to see Edwin Booth was futile.
The fact that the trunks were con-
signed to Nassau leads to the belief
that j. Wilkes Booth evidently hoped
to escape to the Bahama islands and
there resume his profession, believing,
no doubt, that his offense would be
considered a political one and that he
would be safe in a foreign country.

A quaint story is told about Master
Tommy Anderson, an old time peda-
gogue. Once he taught a school in
Pennington where the boys had driven
out several teachers. He found that
the chief conspirator was a good look
ing, grown up girl, bright, saucy and
proud. The schoolmaster wore his
hair in a cue, as was the fashion in
those days. When he was doing a
sum-" with his head down, she tossed
his cue back and forth as if it were
a toy, much to the amusement of the
scholars. Uncle Tommy said nothing,
but kept up quite a thinking. He
knew if he called out the guilty girl
and punished her the big boys would
rise and carry him out. So he adopted
unusual tactics in conducting his
campaign.
He found q lot of long hair hanging
up in a barn. From this he selected
and smoothed out a bunch resembling
a cue, and tied it up nicely with a rib
bon. Taking this to the school room
early the next morning, he suspended
it from the peg where the girl always
hung her cloak and hood, then he
commenced to set copies as usual.
When she came in and spied the curl
u continuance she looked surprised
and puzzled. Quoth Master Tommy
in a mild tone Of voice, Miss, I have
brought that bunch Of hair for you to
use as a plaything instead of my cue"
The proud spirited girl was Inundated
before the whole school and could not
help crying. Uncle Tommy had won
the victory by stratagem rather than
by force Of arms aud had no further
difficulty with his scholars Farming
