Emile de Girardin and his wife lived
on the most unfriendly terms. Never
by any chance would the husband in
vade the apartments of his wife, all
communications being conducted by
letter. One day Madame de Girardin
had an important message to send to
her husband. Taking a small sheet of
paper, she wrote: "The boudoir to the H.
',rary. Would like to go to Switzerland. !"
Monsieur de Girardin, not to be out

Charles Dickens could be courteous
enough on occasion. An Oxford under
graduate sent him some of his poems.
with view to insertion in Household
Words, of which Dickens was editor.
With the verses he sent note which
ran thus SIR Understanding that
you insert rhymes in your serial, I send
you some. To this Dickens replied !:
SIR We do not insert rhymes with
out reason" The stage furnishes us
with another laconic letter. Quin had
withdrawn to Bath, soured by the
triumphs of Garrick. He desired to be
asked back to Covent Garden, but Rich
would not humor him. He wrote Il

received the reply : Stay there and be
hanged. Yours, John Rich Ver-
bosity is the besetting sin of all official
correspondence, so that laconic de-
spatch is refreshing. The Secretary of
the Treasury wrote to the collector at
the Port of Mobile: "SIR This De-

A Trip to Florida for 20 Cents.

Whether you are going for the first
time, have been there dozen times, or
never expect to 60 at all, but have to
content yourself with "stay.at home"
travel, you wiltboroughly enjoy reading
the charming paper "The Gay Season
in Florida" published in Demorest's
Family Magazine for January, which,
with its sprightly descriptions of the
beauties and pleasures of the popular
resorts, and the numerous handsome
illustrations, brings all the notable
places of "the land of flowers" so vividly
before the mind that one may have all
the pleasure of the fascinating, but,
alas expensive, trip, without mourning
the fatigue, expense, or trouble of the
journey.
If you wish longer trip, you have
only to read "Bebe Bwana,' in the
same number, to learn of the unique
adventures of an American woman,
Mrs. French Sheldon, in the wilds of
Africa. "Thirty Degrees Below Zero"
will tell how much you may miss by
not experiencing Dakota blizzard; by
reading ga Debutante's Winter in
New York" you will learn how the
"40O' Of New York spent their holi-
Gays; Looking Toward Japan and
"The Story of Ducks Breast" are
only two of the excellent stories; you
may learn somethingabout almost every
thing useful and amusing by studying
the various departments which are a
special feature of this Family magazine;
and all this need cost you but 20 cents
for this special number, which is only
fair sample of what is given twelve
times year, for 50. Published by W.

The Gameless Country.

The West Indian archipelago, with
its four islands and numberless inlets,
is called the gameless country, because,
in a region of more than one hundred
thousand square miles, there are no
monkeys, no bears, raccoons, wild hog,
iaguars, pumas, panthers, lynx, wild
cats, foxes, wolves or jackals, There
is not even woodchuck to be dug out
of the many caves. On the highlands
there are no bisons, deer, antelope or
rabbits. Dogs and cats, too, are un-
known, and this lack of household pets
seems to have driven the aborigines to
expedients. for, in book called "Ogil-
vy's Voyages, . there is story told of q
San Domingo native who keeps q tame
manatee, that made its headquarters in
an artificial pond and was so well
trained that when called by its name it
would come out of the water, go to
natives house, and, after receiving
food, it returned to the pond, accom-
panied by boys, who seemed to charm
it by singing, and often it carried two
children on its back. Its instinct was
IL was OuCS ny u
pike in the hands of Spaniard, and
after that always refused to come out
of the water when there was clothed
man near.
Manatees are often seen northwest OF
Cuba, in shoals, sporting about the
reefs like sea lions. They are cunning
creatures, and can doge the harpoon
with more success than any other
aquatic animal. When the harpoon is
thrown at them they plunge, with de.
tiant snort, beneath the waves, and
presently come to the surface at some
unexpected point, waving their fiippers
mockingly at their hunters The larg-
est land animal of this strange territory
is huge rat, measuring eighteen inches
in length without the tail. With this
exception, Cuba, San Domingo, Ja-
maica and Costa Rica have no land ami
mails.

while her character was mild and

Mrs. Wharton's influence over her

marriage. An easy-going, good natured
fellow, he soon tired somewhat of his
romance, and the insidious influences

The truth is that Robert Wharton,
the scion of one of the wealthiest fam

him only the wealth Of loving heart,
and truly pious life. She was not a
social success. Society in II was
very exclusive, and it could not afford
to lose so brilliant a member of its in

friends noticed that he grew careless Of
social obligations, and less particular
than formerly in dress. 1t was declared
that he preferred to loll about his cozy

going to the club, and he was rarely
