There's a black rage in Paris; it's the
style to look as if you We're in light
mourning there, whether it's so or not.
All the toilets one secs are black of
some description or black and white
that is, all but the hats. A woman may
go out deeply and solemn.y robed in a
garment that one would surely suppose
TO DO worn as token of grief until ones
eyes reached the headgoar, when its
light and brilliant coloring would imme-
diately dispel the effect. They're not a
bit consistent in gay Paris, else one
might think they had at last reached a
period of sobriety and common sensei
that they had concluded to be more like
their English sisters and settle down in
quieter and more subdued oolors But
when a woman wears a black gown and
a hat containing several colors Of the
rainbow in bright display there is little
foundation for the belief, after ALL

Fifty-four years ago Mr.. Gladstone
conceived the idea that it would be bet
ter for his eyesight were he TO substitute
candles for the somewhat primitive
lamp by which he had been in the habit
Of studying by night. The light shed
by two candles was not sufficient for his
purpose, but with the inhexibility and
perseverance which are his most marked
characteristics he continued to perform
his nightly task, with the result that his
right eye became so much weakened
that his medical adviser enjoined upon
him the necessity Of abstaining totally
from work, and living as far as possible
in a dark room for six months. Long
before that period had expired Mr..
Gladstone made a trip TO southern Eu-
rome in company with his old college
friend, Sir Stephen Glynne.
Once again q grave accident TO Mr..
Gladstone's eye threatened for q few
days to produce the most serious conse'
duences. 1t is well known that he did

Old Eaton Stone, the circus rider, lives
on an eighteen acre farm near this vii
lage. He is almost as active as he was
years ago, when his daring feats on
horseback made him famous all over the
world. He is seventy-four years old,
but keeps constantly busy. When he
has nothing else to do he gets out his
oil colors and adds to the unique deco
ration of the ancient farmhouse in
which he resides. Nothing exactly like
Mr.. Stones painting is to be found else
where, and what he has done in a score
of years must have kept him we'll em-
ployed. Almost everything in the house
is decorated. Red Of the brightest ver-
million hue, green which rivals the
grass in June, yellow which would do
credit to the daffodil and blue of the
most lively shade, go into all his scrolls,
stars, flowers, stripes and nondescript
figures.
The ceiling of the dining room is hid
den in wonderful designs traced in vivid
colors. There is no attempt at blending
or compounding colors. They are laid
on as they come from the pots and tubes,
and the patterns are original creations.
Even the stove has come in for a base
line of vivid decoration, and one of the
two clocks in the room is completely
covered with paint. The picture frames
are decorated; the mantel has a gener-
ous share of decorations; the oilcloth
table covers have added designs the
maker never contemplated, and even the
chairs have been treated TO display OF
the old mans handiwork. On the walls,
and even on the doors, he has oil paint
ings and compositions from his brush.
They are not high art, but they are very
effective and show considerable genius

We sat for an hour or more on the east
bank of the Beaverkill at Rockland and
watched the trout of that celebrated
river passing over the dam, which is
nearly three feet high, with about a
4-inch volume of water pouring over it.
The trout ranged in size from ten to
eighteen inches, and during the time we
sat there at least twenty managed TO get
over. In many instances a first attempt
failed, owing, however, more to an ap-
parent want of judgment, or perhaps Of
experience. than from lack of physical
ability in the fish to accomplish the feat,
the smaller fish as a rule failing to get
over in the first effort.
But few of the larger fish made a
clean jump into the smooth water above
the apron of the DAM most of them
passed perpendicularly up the falling
waters and with apparent ease. These
fish were enabled to swim straight up
this downpour Of the waters by the
great muscular power they possessedl
there was no trick, no sleight Of hand
about tit was pure strength Of body
which is evidently centered in the pc
duncle or tail and the tail fin.
They actually sculled their bodies W
this comparatively dense mass Of water
The query naturally arises; If a 10
inch trout can swim up such fall
what is the capacity Of salmon Of forty
inches under similar conditions9-Amer

l have a collection of old English pipes
of all sizes and shapes, and have supplied
my friends with specimens, which they
use not actually for pipes, but as ciga-
rette holders, and well adapted the
small bowls are for that purpose. In
my collection one may trace the history
and spread Of tobacco by the gradually
increasing pipe bowl and the proportions
ate diminution of the supporting heel or
spur until with present-day clays it is
mere ornamental appendage. Soon
after smoking was introduced one writer
states that 1.-the rich use silver pipes,
but the poor use walnut shells and
straws."
In 1878 Harrison, in his unpublished
"ChrOnologie," remarks that "these
daies the taking in of the smoke of the
Indian herb called Tobacco by an instru-
ment like little ladell is gretly taken
up and used in England against
Rewmes." By 1919 there was an i'm
portant industry in clay pipes, aud the
manufacturers were incorporated as
"the craft of 7, 2, makers. Later
pipes bear trademarks and initials
stamped ON the heel, thus indicating the
various origins,-Cor. Pail Mall Gazette

Here is an amusing description of one
of Balzacs periods Of impecuniosity
Merry, the poet, great friend of Bal
zac's, was an inveterate gambler and
rarely left the card table before day
break. His way lay past the Cafe de
Paris and for four consecutive mornings
he had met Balzac strolling leisurely
up and down dressed in a pantalon a
pieds (trousers not terminating below
the ankle, but with feet in them like
stocl1ings) and frock coat with velvet
facings. The second morning Merry felt
surprised at the coincidence, the third
he was puzzled, the fourth he could hold
out no longer, and asked Balzac the
reason Of these nocturnal perambula-
tions roundabout the same spot.
Balzac put his hand in his pocket and
produced an almanac showing that the
sun did not rise before $40. 81 am being
tracked by the officers Of the tribunal
de commerce and obliged to hide myself
during the day, but at this hour | am
free and can take a walk. for as long as
the sun is not upthey cannot arrest me.

There is not another place in the
world where tho emperor Of Russia
feels 0 secure and so easy in his mind
as at the court Of his father-in-lsw,
King Christian of Denmark. They were
sitting together on the day Of the golden
wedding of the king, when the emperor,
in the exuberance Of his feelings of COM
fort, said that he wished he could think
of something by which he could give to
his beloved father very great pleasure.
"You could not give me a greater
pleasure" replied the king, "than ]
should feel at your resolve to go and pay
visit to the emperor Of Germany

was arranged. What all the cleverest
moves Of the diplomats Of Germany had

Not sound broke the stiffness OF the
night save the ceaseless murmur Of the
sea.
Now that his back was turned upon
the phantom figure, and that his hur-
r!cd survey Of the scene discovered no
one, he moved forward with rising hope.
He had passed half of the circular dis
tance from the cave to the end Of the
narrow pathway without anything to
alarm him, though at each furtive
glance he saw the changeless shadow,
when the sound Of footsteps reached
his ears.
= moment later a mans form came
around the edge Of the cliff, and then
second and third
With low cry he turned TO retrace
his course to the cavern, knowing that
once there he could defend himself
against dozen, but in his excitement
he missed his foothold and, clutching in
vain upon the ledge, he went headlong
down its jagged side upon the rocks bo-
low.
A piercing cry that rang far and clear
on the night air, a sullen splash in the
water and deathlike silence followed.
The newcomers proved to be some Of
his own confederates, who, anxious at
his nonappearance, had come in search
of him.
The smugglers were about to descend
to the side of their unfortunate leader
when they saw for the first time the
shadow Of the cliff.
Without stopping to solve the mys-
terry they beat a hasty retreat to their
homes.
The next daY it was found that the
supposed shadow was the painted figure
Of man, and, strange enough, Burk
Brandon's idiotic son had done the
work. He had come to the place in a
boat, and, having singular aptness in
this respect, had performed his self i'm
| posed task with remarkable faithfulness
to nature. In the glimmer of the moon
light his fathers mistake was not un-
natural, though it had cost him his life.
With the death OF their chief the SNUG
glers no longer continued their nefari-
ous business, so that Witless Jack had
unconsciously rendered an inestimablo
service. That was several years since,
and though the figure has faded from
the rock, the place is known as the
Smuggler's Shadow.-George Waldo
Browne in Yankee Blade.
