French literary genius aims at perfec-
ton of form. 1t was this aim that orig
mated the French Academy two centuries
and a half ago. The society early began
to compose a dictionary, but progressed SO
slowly with the work that some witty per-
son gave it the name of the Academy of
Do Nothing" Cardinal Richelieu obtained
for Vaugelas the renewal Of a pension
that he might devote all his time to the
dictionary. When the scholar went to
thank the cardinal, the great minister ad-
vanced TO meet him. "Welt, N. VaugeIas, ("
said he, with smile, you viii not forget
the word pension in the dictionary. mo
your eminence," replied Vaugelas, with a
profound bow, "and still less the word
gratitude"
Naugelas worked for ten years with dill
gence as head of the committee to prepare
the notes of the dictionary, which were
read at each sitting Of the Academy. Col
bert, the celebrated minister of Louis XIV,
himself an acedemician, was displeased at
the slowness with which the committee
worked. Being practical man, and think
ing that when work was to be done it
should be done at once, he went one day TO
rebuke them.
He found them busy upon the word ami,
and listened to their discussions. Perceiv-
ing the time, thought and labor necessary
for the definition of one word, he frankly
confessed that the making of dictionary
was a much more complicated affair than
he had supposed. Magazine.

4 Blind Car Horse.

Daniel is jet black gelding, years old,
and he is as blind as bat, but he makes
four night runs on the Broadway railroad
every alternate night. Il is doubtful If
any equine on the line knows every turn
in the road and every switch along the
route any better than Daniel. From Fiji
ty-ninth street to the Battery Daniel never
makes a mistake. His driver says he is
the easiest horse to handle in the stables
and that he can tell when he is approach
ing any Of the little iron platforms which
act as levers to move the switches on the
road as well as If blessed with the keenest
eyesight, He is the off horse of the team
and as the Off horse has to step on the
switch platforms when necessary to shove
them over, the value of Daniels sagacity
can be seen at once.
Night OF day is all the same to Daniel
He could travel the route as well if the
city was in darkness as in broad daylight
Moreover, he knows his own stall, and he
will walk down the line Of horses occupy
ing other stalls till he comes to his own,
and he was never known to enter the wrong
stall.
Daniel has been on the road five years,
and he has been blind all that time. He
can make as good time as any horse on the
line, and he always travels slightly in ad-
vance Of his mate.-New York Herald.

An Extraordinary Duel.

One Of the most remarkable duels ever
fought, perhaps, took place in 1903 be-
tween two Frenchn,en. OF course the
quarrel arose about lady-a certain
Mile. Tirevet-who, it appears, was un-
able to decide on which of the two she
preferred. She finally found way out
Of the difficulty by promising to marry
whichever of them worsted the other.
They thought over the matter in calm
and Judicial spirit for a month, and at
the end decided to fight a duel in the
air. Accordingly two balloons were
made exactly alike, and upon the sp-
pointed day each scared aloft, accom-
panied by his second.
They were each armed with blum
derbuss, the agreement being that they
were TO fire, not at each other, but at
the balloons. They arose to the height
of half a mile, and then the preconcert-
ed signal was given. One fired and
missed; the other followed suit with
more disastrous effect. He hit his OPP
ponent's balloon, which instantly col
lapsed, with the result that the occu-
pants of the car were dashed 10 the
earth with frightful rapidity and in
stantiy lilled.-St. Louis Republic.

In the United States at present there
are about 100000 Jews. There are
533 Hebrew congregations, divided be-
tween the orthodox and reformed Jews.
In the orthodox congregations the men
still sit with their hats on, and the wom-
en- occupy seats apart from the rest. No
women singers are allowed in the choir.
In the reformed or liberal congregations
the usages are much the same as prevail
in Christian churches in reference to
such matters. 1t is more a difference of
rite and ceremony that divides the two
branches than a difference of radical
doctrine. There are more reformed
Jews than orthodox in the United States.

Shut up IN a drawer at the national
museum, where nobody has the privilege
OF seeing them, is a curious collection Of
decoys Perhaps the funniest among them
is a pup seal about a foot and "A half long,
quite artistically carved out of wood. Its
little paws are folded across its chest, and
it is intended to tioat on its back upon the
water, just as she animal it represents does
IN real life, However, il is not meant as a
decoy FOR mother seals, ms may be imag-
ined, but as float for tying fishing line
TO. Fishes, recognizing the innocence of
pup seals in general, are not likely to sus-
pect that one would bangle a hook and
line to catch them. This is an Alaskan
decoy of course.
The natives Of that region employ decoy
ducks made of wood in similar fashion
not to attract real ducks within reach of
arrows or bullets but as floats merely. To
the floats, set a-swimming in the rivers,
lines are attached, with hooks and bait for
salmon, No ordinarily wise salmon would
be afraid of duck. So these fishes bite
eagerly at the lures suspended from the
counterfeit birds in the water and are
caught.
Another very queer decoy in the drawer
is fish, cut out of wood and painted white
No label states, unfortunately, precisely
how it is employed, although it is certain
that it is a counterfeit intended to attract
some big fishes. Big salmon could swal-
low prey Of such a size, and it may be de
signed as bait for them. Think, however,
of the disgust which would be felt by any
scaly ogre at finding that he had taken in
a wooden fish one foot long. Washington
