Drank it Bravely.

A recent French writer on "The
Revolution, the Empire and the Restor-
ation," cites an amusing instance 0.
what he calls heroic courtesy.
Percy, Lord Beverly. invited to dine
with him a marquis who was one oi
the most valiant soldiers of the army
of Condo. Wishing to honor his guest
and the cause which he served, that OF
the French king, the English peer
ordered his butler to bring him bottle
of fine wine 100 years old, "a ray OF
sunshine in crystal"
He opened it carefully and offered a
glass to the marquis, saying: If You
deem it worthy the honor, will you
drink in this wine the health of the
king?"
The marquis tasted the wine.
"How do you like it?" asked the host.
Exquisite" replied the marquis.
Then" said Lord Beverly, "linish
the glass; only in full glass can one
drink the health of SO great and so un-
fortunate king"
Without hesitation the marquis did
as he was bidden. Only when the
Englishman tasted the wine did he
learn that what he had forced on his
guest was castor oil; and henceforth
he held the politeness of the French
toward the English in the highest
esteem.

FRENCH FEMALE CONyIcTS.
by HsrSAx FeRaw-C.nviets They Can
KssaSe CsnAa exs snt ia Prison.

Frssoh female prisoners and con-
vists are treated with more Kindness,
ca the whole. than persons OF their
class in England. says an exchange.
| Their matrons and wardresses are
Augustine nuns. whose rule, though
firm. is gentler. more merciful and
more steadfastlv equitable than that
of lavwomen could be. The female
convicts are allowed the same priyi-
lcge as the men In the matter Of earn
ing money and bmying things At the
canteen; those Of them who are young
also enjoy privilege not granted TO
female convicts in other countries
that of having husbands provided for
them by she state-only these hus-
bands must be convicts.
Every six months a notice i eirca-
lated in the female psntsntiaries call
ing uaon al women who feel minded
to go cat 10 New Caledonia ana be
married to make an application 10
that effect through ths governor.
Elderly women are always very prompt
in making such applications, but thoy
are not eHtertained. The matrimonial
candidates must be young and exempt
from physical inlirnities. Girls under
long sentences readily catch at this
method of escaping from the intolera-
BILE tedium of prison life, AMI the
pretty ones are certain to be put on
the governors list, no matter how
| frightful may be the crimes for which
they have been sentenced. The only
moral qualification requisite is TO have
passed at least two years in the peni-
tentiary.
The selected candidates have to sign
| engagements promising TO marry con-
victs and to settle iii New Caledonia
for the remainder Of their lives. On
these conditions government trans
ports them, gives them decent out
fit and tickot-of-ieave when they
land at Noumea Their marriages are
arranged for them by the governor Of
the colony, who has a. selection OF
we'll behaved conyicts ready for them
to choose from, and each girl may con-
suit her oWl fancy within certain linn
its for the proportion of marriageable
men to women is about three to one.
OF course if the girl positively de-
clares that none of tn aspirant bride
9rooms submitted to her inspection
have met with her approval the gov
ernor can only shrug his shoulders in
the usual French way.
1t has happened more than once that
pretty girls have been wooed by ward
ers, free settlers, or time-eNpired sol
diers and sailors, instead of by con-
yiets. In such eases the governor can
;ssant to a marriage only on condition
that the female conyict's free lover
shall place himself in the position of
ticket-of-ieaye man and undertake
never To leave the colony. Love works
wonders. and there is no Instance on
record sof man having refused TO
comply with these conditions when
once he has fallen in love.

Well, will tell you. At that time no

An Odd Idea

There w2s an impressive ceremony
in the cellar of Il John street chop
house yesterday afternoon, says the
New York C0nlBacrciG} -4dceriiSer 1t
was a funeral-the burial of a small
cask of old wine newly arrived from
Oporto. The proprietor of the chop
house is a young man, and thcee DAYS
ago lie entered into the bonds of mat
rimony with Il young lady who had
previously acted as cashier for the op-
position establishment across the
street The burial of the wine was
the closing event of the festivities
which marked the occasion. Six of
the proprietor's friends were present,
and divers drinks We're drawn from
the cask before it was finally sealed up
for interment. The company was in a
highly mystilied state of mind as to
the reason of it all. until the proprie-
tor climbed upon butt of sherry and, ,
with glass in one hand and the lam
tern in the other, addressed them IN
this wise:
"Gentlemcn, the cask of wine that
we are planting with so much cere-
mony to-day is in for long period of
strict seclusion and perhaps may neger
see the light again.
"lf it ever is resurrected it will be
on the day of my silver wedding,
twenty-five years from now, when
those among us who still remain will
tap it TO the extent OF genteel suffi-
cheney.
IF we are all gone the Wine is liable
to lay hidden until some Alaskan ex-
plorer of the ruins of New York runs
across it in the course of his excaya-
tions.
"ln closing let me refer again to
the sentiment dear to the heart of
every American: Lets have morer +"
And this being done the port was
put in its little earthea bed and care
fully tucked in.

Wisdom from a Child.

A story is told of a Harvard profess

learned dissertation upon the expan-

He gave numerous illustrations of an
interesting and convincing character,
and his guests were evidently greatly
edited and pleased. while he appeared
in the best of moods with his success.
As he. took his seat his little daughter,
who was sitting in corner with her
doll, asked: Papa. if cold contracts,
why did the frozen water break my
glass last night?" The gresf scientist
and the clever students were alike
dumbfounded by the question. No
answer was attempted. Which was

A Years Drinking in Great Britain.

The United Kingdom Alliance has.
according to its annual custom, pub
lished a statement of the amount of
wines. spirituous liquors and beer con-
sumed in Great Britain and Ireland
during the year 1881, and it shows the
bill for intoxirants to be pretty stiff
one. The total spent in intoxicating
drinks during the twelve months was
considerably over 800, 090, ,000-an av-
erage of SIS for every man, woman
and child in the country, or 800 for
every family in the course of the wear
The bill for 1891 was nearly S9,03o.olD
greater than the bill for 1899. but this
increase was not more than what
would naturally arise from the in
crease of population.
