gard in his stables our biue-costed chas- seurs clattering fast on his tracks. Pres entlr they passed the bordsrs of the fsrest, and entered wheat field which skirted the read, unprotected by fence or hedge as is the custom in most parts of France. The grain was ripe for harvest, and already a peasant proprietor, assisted by two or three farm lads, had begun operation st an up- per corner. Calling halt to the company, Meissonier sped across the field to barley with the farmers. An animated pantomine took plrce, in which coin of the country seemed to flow uncounted from capscious shooting jacket pockets to some secret re- ceptacle under the voluninous blue blouse Then back again, sslow with generous en- thusissm.
 ''Now, my dear sir, "the old painter cried, Han have to ask of you is to station your men yonder, under shadow of those trees. At signal from me-tiensl I'll iutter this handkerchief-makea bee line through the grain. Gallop straight for me"
 The officer did as desired, and was met by Meissonier in ahigh state of excitement Faster, faster." he shouted, gesticulAting wildly, note book in one hand craion in the other. "Try it again,"
 Half dozen times at least the soldiers charged, and devastated indeed lay that golden grain field before word was given to desist- They were then courteously thanked and dismissed with 40-franc pourboirs, that ices braves enfants might wet their threats after such dry work. {" When last in sight, the old painter Cyerg- ing at the time, be it remembered, on his S0th year1 occupied grotesque attitude in the middle of the beaten field, taking an up- side down view of his surroundings

 There are worse countries than this to live in It will encourage those who are having hard work to get bread and butter to know that they do not owe as much as people in other countries do. From the facts gathered in our own country by the census officers and from information fur nished by the administrative officers of several nations at the bureaus request, it appears that the public indebtedness per capita amounts in France to $116.35, in the Netherlands $9596 in Great Britain ss7.79, in Italy $76.O6, while in the United States the national debt per capita is only s14.63, and national, State and county debts all together only s20 46. These figures do not repre- sent the real burden of indebted ness, as they do not include town and city debts. But, as purely local indebtedness is not included in the foreign figures either, the comparison is sufficiently accurate. More than this, it appears that while the aggregate indebted ness of the foreign nations heard from nearly doubled in the last ten years our own was reduced in that time nearly one half. Our national debt was diminished more than half, State debts somewhat lessened and the county debts slightly in creased in amount, though not per capita. Thus, while European countries are get ting more and more involved every year, our own is rapidly throwing off the burden of national indebtedness
 Let us. therefore, take courage. Most of us can probably get together s20.46 if it becomes necessary

"besrings." These, curiously decorated with crosses, harps, wreaths and frequent: ly with psper-fower serpents twining around them, were carried about the vii- lsge, often followed by four maidens with a hower-bordered sheet filled with the sa- cred rushes. When the rushes were all strewn in the church, usually on Saturday afternoon, Jimmy Dawson," the fiddler of Grove Cottage, struck up "Rushbear- ing March" of unknown antiquity. He headed procession forming at the village bridge. After this had threaded all the streets and wynds of Grasmere it re- turned to the old church, where the war dens, after an ancient usage, presented each of the bearers with two-pence worth of gingerbread, paid for out of the church collections. The Rushbearing of Gras- mere now occurs on Saturday in the ,sec- ond week of August The procession, still moving forward to the strains of Jimmy Dawson's March, follows St. Os- wsld's banner; and, scattering flowers and rushes, proceeds, around the entire will lage. Rush-bearing hymns and a hymn to St. Oswald are sung. Games for children are provided in the rectory field. Wrest- ling, putting the stone," running and leaping are indulged in by countryside champions. Rushbearing hymns are chanted at the church gate 4 choral even-song is sung at seven o'clock, and the old time distribution of gingerbread, dan cling and other rural festivities are contin- ued until midnight.

He entered into the work there with will, and the stories of the astounding cures of the young Yankee physician soon filled the sleepy Oriental land with wonder. What it took the native physicians five weeks to cure with their pagan tomfoolery young Lee would cure in five days. He had only worked six months at Petchaburee when the fame of his wonderful cures spread to Bankok and reached the ears of the Siamese Government.

From the Atlantic Monthly
 At Saint Germain, which stands on a bend of the river above Poissy, separated by strip of forest land, the eccentric almost dwarfish figure of old Meissonier was also well known. Not a raw recruit in the cavalry regiment quartersd there but could tell you his name, coupling it with the fa- miliarly affectionste appellation of ''fa- ther." Among the officers his popularity was associated with that of the great Ma poleon, whose memoro he had done so much to serve. I remember, two or three sum mers ago, hearing young sous-lieutenant of chasseurs, then stationed in the town, describing an encounter he had had with le pere Meissonier The merry incident gained not little by the inimitable verve and gayety of its narrator, a born racon- teur, evidently as we'll joli garcon in his speckless sky-blue uniform
 Early in the morning, it appeared he had been abroad exercising his squad, and was returning with it at g footpace along one of those straight, interminable avenues which traverse the forest, when midway tall yell low dog-cart swooped down upon him. Aloft sat little old bonhomme, whose pa triarchal beard fioated to the wind like the famed white plume of Navarro.

GOULD THE HEILEIs.

Jay Gould is certainly an interesting man. Look at him when he is giving g ''bear" interview just before boom, or "bull" interview just before a break; look at him when he is testifying before an Investigating committee and revealing all he knows without telling anything; look at him when he binds all the warning railroads to do his bidding because he car ries out the regulations they have made and apparently sacrifices one of his faith ful servants on the altar of duty. In fact, look at him anywhere and everywhere and you will see something worth seeing. His latest public appearance shows that he has been using his gigantic intellect in some thing else than stock deals. He has evolved an idea for the healing of the peo- pie. He has been asking the Rapid Tran sit commission to allow him to greatly en- large the elevated railroad system in New York. He showed the commission what immense benefits would result from the changes he desired and then he threw in one of his strokes of genius, as follows: Yes. I guess the :'grip" is about the only disease that the Elevated road does not cure It cures levers. The pass ing of the trains creates tidal waves of at mosphere. A moving train creates cir culation and forces the bad atmosphere which stagnates in the crevices out and the air gets mixed. It is like the tides. There is no doubt that trains moving in the air are one of the great agencies of health in this city.
 This ought to and doubtless will end any discussion which Gould's plans may have raised. If he can give the Now Workers rapid transit and in giving them that cure them of every disease except the grip he ought to have the freedom of the city just as soon as it can be given to him. Some of the ignorant and unappreciative have felt afraid that MT. Gould's stuffy cars with their foul-smelling lamps and his en- zines filling the air with smoke and cind- CTS, and the noisy rattling of his trains, were not conducive to the public health. It needs man with 0 clear head and a sharp eye to see what the people really need and want. Jay Gould is such a man.
