bonds of matrimony no fewer than seven
couples, he was somewhat surprised to
hear the sound Of a species of bagpipe
coming up the grand staircase. The dis

the musician Of a Breton wedding. who
in accordance with the custom Of HIS coun-
try, was blowing his hardest, in order TO
bring luck to the bride and bridegroom.

T9 Find Your Railway Car When Abroad.
Every traveller Is aware Of the trouble
and annoyance that is often experienced on
long railway journey when, after alight-
ing for a few minutes from ones carriage,
the bell rings and the driver blows his
whistle, while the bewlldered traveller lie
frantically running up and down trying to
recognize his carriage from a dozen others,
all built alike and painted the same color.
Here he cannot as in England, jump into
an empty compartment, for in France the
practice Of Overhlling prevails, 30 that he
must either find his, place or lose the train.

and was TO be seen working for the first
time last evening ON the Marseilles ex-
press. NJ. eros remarked that the number
painted outside the carriage, often running
into five figures, Is the very last thing that
will strike passenger or fix itself In his
memory. His device consists in placing
outside the carriage an enameled plate
with, as he calls 10, a symbolical figure IN
black and white.-Paris Cor. London Tele-

Numismatists or coin collectors have in.
teresting objects of search in two coins
which belong to the transition period be.
tween the French republic and the Second
Empire. One Of these is an extremely rare
coin which was struck off just at the mo-
ment Of the assumption of the reins Of en-
pire by Napoleon III. Only the die for the
diverse or head of a new imperial coin had
been completed, and by some accident, or
possibly by mischievOus design, coin was
struck Off which bore the head of "Napo-
leon III, Emperor" on oRe side and
i'French Republic" on the other.
This contradictory ooin is Of interest to
Others than nHmismatists, for it symbol
lies in striking way the many sudden
changes which have taken place in French
politics In the past century.
With tho other coin a singular story Is
connected. While Louis Napoleon was
prince president" and just before he
made himself emperor n decree was is
sued ordering q five frame silver piece to
be coined bearing his image.
The dies were made, and one coin was
struck off as sample and sent to the
princepresident for approval. But some
time passed before he examined it, When
at last he gave 1t his attention he was an.
noyed to find that he had been represented
on the coin with love lock-" or hooked
lock of hair on the temple, which be did
actually wear at that period, but which he
thought unsuitable to 80 dignified and
permanent q representation Of himself as
an efiigy upon a coin.
The prince-president sent for the direc-
or Of the mint and ordered him to remove
he ''lOve lock. Then he found that his
silence with regard to the piece had been
aiken for approval, ard that the stamping |
If the coins had commenced
The work was stopped and the image de- |
'rived OF its undignifed lock, but the

Women Who Talk Only of Their Affairs,
As plea for the women who can talk
only Of their own affairs, one may quote
DR.. Johnson's words:
Madam" he said to a woman who was
complaining thht women could talk of
nothing at all outside of their own four
walls, why blame the woman for the only
sensible thing she could do-talking of her
family and her affairs2 For how should a
woman, who is as empty as drum,
talk upon any other subjectf ffyou speak
to her Of the sun. she does not know it
rises In the east; il you speak to her Of the
moon, she does not know it changes at the
full; II you speak to her of the queen, she
does not know she is the king'swife. How,

endeavoring to save their property from

Men rushed frantically from store to

poor and outside aid will be necessary.
