sugar, wing with each other to exhibit
their courage, their devotion through
this harmless poison.
Gently, my ladies. my lords" cried
Maurepas, ''every little piece of that
sugar cost a golden louis.''
:, But the sugar is not one bit better
IMAM our ordinary sugar." demonstrated
the queen, "and it is only curiosity
leading to ruin"
Dumonet dropped on one knee. "Your
majesty is In measure correct. EXper-
lmentlng in small way.at the same ex-
pense as great trade, naturally makes
thls sample excessively dear; but if
your majesty will advance me two mill
IONS for the development of larger facil-
lties for the manufacture shall be able
to furnish pound of sugar for 10 sous
instead of 4 francs"
The king recoiled involuntarily, and
Marie Antoinette grasped her famous
necklace, which had cost two millions,
as II the plain man before her had been
a rob0er. Her disappearing glance
gave direction to the kings answer.
''Dr. Dumonet, / honor enterprise:
accept this snuff box as a recognition of
1t. But two millions the state cannot
possibly lend you. That is too much
money for the exhausted eXcheQuer.''
Dumonet received the gift respectfully,
sire, sooner or later my enterprise
will find the money"
The whole shallow, subservient
swarms of courtierllngs cried out an ex-
cited echo to the royal words:
Two millions for sugar! Two mill
IONS. The man should be in a mad
house! How can anyone be so shame
less? Just as If it were not all the
same NVhlthpr 70

any can't pay it let him take his food

And SO DumOnet was dismissed. He

Maurepas composed the only good verse
OF his life, which, translated, runs
somewhat thus:
Altho' his life to sweeten
Is all his royal care,
Two million francs for sugar
The king finds rather dear.
The Juror which his wit created at the
court cOnSOled him somewhat for the
lost 1,000,000. and was it not all the
same whether at his death there should
be deficit of one paltry million more
or less. He left, in fact, round 10000
600 in debts. 1t was noble sum; nine
would not have sounded so impressive.
Dumonet migrated to Belgium, where
he found more appreciation, and lived,

LOOKING TOWARD THE POLE
Picture of the Most Northern Hab-
itation on the Continent.

In his recent interesting account of
cruise with Arctic whalemen, under the
title, "Arctic Alaska and Siberia" Her
bert l.. Aldrich gives striking descrip-
ton of the most northern habitation on
the American continent. Most readers
are familiar with descriptions of the in
terror Of Alaskan dwellings. but Mr..
Aldrich's pen picture is fuller than
usual, and has the additional interest of
portraying the farthest foothoid of
humanity among the SHOWS and ice of
the Arctic regions. The igaloo, which
Mr.. Aldrich has photographed and pict-
ured, is situated on Point Barrow, the
northernmost spur of the Alaskan coast.
After touching upon the desolate stu
alton and squalid appearance of the
native settlement, Mr.. Aldrich saws:
Finding one large igaloo that was
dry, took the liberty to drop down
through the window into it. This was
the most northern habitation on the con-
tinent, which added to my desire to see
it. The roof was high, so that 1 could
stand erect. Across the north end of
the room was platform raised a yard
from the floor and extending
out from the wall five feet.
A bundle of deerskins neatly
1OiiCo up 10y Oti lGs uulcIHtdtil were
box and one or two household utensils.
Close to the wall on the south side
was an oval hole in the floor large
enough for one not very corpulent
to crawl through; this led to the en-
trance proper. A few cooking and other
utensils stood in corner near by. In
the other corner was a small blubber oil
'stove.' On each side OF the room was
an other OF these stoves. Each was made
of piece of three-inch plank, probably
wreckage. The first one was about
eighteen inches long, the second about
two feet and the third three feet. They
were followed out to depth of an inch
and nalf and raised slightly from the
floor. There was no moss on them to
serve as wick nor oil I'm them, but a
piece of well-smoked blubber hung
nearly two feet above each, indicating
that they had seen service.
1.-The walls were of smooth boards
closely held together. and the floor was
a good one. Everything was as scrupu-
lousy neat, clean and orderly as any
housekeeper could wish for. The three
lamps were tlickly coated with grease,
but that could not be otherwise. Every
article seemed to have its own
place and be in it, three or
four racks on the walls con-
tanning many of the smaller articles.
The size of this igaloo was twelve by
fourteen feet. Outside, opposite the en-
trance, was the usual staging or scat
fold, on which were some whalebone,
perhaps fifty pounds of deerskins, a
bear and other skins, two dead seals and
other valuables. Evidently the owner
OF the place was in good circumstances

WHEN QUESTIONED CONCERNING THE
MATTER
she admitted having committed the act,
and medical experts were then called in
to examine her as to her sanity. 1t was
then found that the mind of the poor
girl was badly affected, and that with
such IDEAS it was extremely dangerous
to allow her to be at large. The father
reluctantly consented to have his

A VICTIM OF THE SLOT.

An Amusing Occurrence in a Chi
cago Theater the Other Night.
Chicago Tribune.
1t was at Hooley's theater Just before
the rise of the curtain. A young man
and his best girl were seated in the par
Quette. In front of the Young lady was
one of those patent opera-glass holders.
They are placed only in every other seat
at Hooly's, and when the case is opened
the glasses become fastened to handle
that is attached to the seat by a chain.
Sometimes however, the machine doesn't
work. Sometimes it slips a cog or some
thing. 1t did this night. The girl
wanted to operate 1t herself.
LET me do it, Charlie" she said.
So he did. She dropped in the dime.
took the handle and put it in the lock,
but the case didn't open.
Push harder" said the young man.
in his superior way. She did, and this
time the case flew open, but the handle
didn't stick.
"See! You didn't push hard enough"
he said, land you ought to give the
handle twist in the lock. I'll show
you the way"
He reached over and got the handle
attached to the seat on the other side of
MN, dropped MS dime In the Slot, ana
poked the handle into the lock. Every
thing worked to charm.
"Therer" he said; ''that's the way"
Then his face fell and the girl laughed
out.
''1'he person who occupies that seat
will probably be grateful to you for
supplying him with an opera-glass," she
said.
aand the young man was so silent that
one could almost hear him think. The
opera glasses were chained to the other
side of the seat next him.

AUDITORIUM OPERA
How "SoNnambuia" Was Sung fin
Chicago in the Good Old Style.


Chicago in the Good Old Style.
Chicago Times.
OF course it goes without saying that
it was done in the old Italian concert
style of doing opera. The chorus stood
around in an irregular curve-for the
most part stolid and inactive. Patti, or
whoever else had a solo, praneed up to
the footlights and fired the song over
them at the audience, pranced back at
the first break in the melody to the
chorus line, then pranced down and
fired another volley over the prompter's
head or joined hands with anybody
with whom duet was to be sung, and
the two leaned together, like an OK team
with heavy load, and warbled at the
center of the house. And as one looked
Oh and listened one could not but think
that it was this utterly senseless manner
of presenting it quite as much as its
honeyed melody that lay at the source
of the revolt against Italian opera,
which has we'll nigh driven it out of the
most musically advanced nations in the
world.

At the regular meeting of the Central Board
