PARIS A CENTURY AGO.
Jews and Theatrioais Duriug the French
Revolution.

| Jews and Theatrioals Duriug the Frtpch
Revolution.
An Industrious and amusing writer,
NJ. Gustave Isambert, has taken the
trouble to go over file of old news
papers in an endeavor to find out pre-
cisely what people were doing-in Paris,
at all events-when the last century
was drawing to a close. One thing with
which he has been struck is the extra
ordinary taste of the French people n
hundred years ago for theatrical enter
tainments 1t might have been thought
that with their king practically pris-
ener, the Parisians would have had lit
tie inclination to frequent places of
amusement AS all readers Of French
history know, the theaters were legion,
owing to the restrictions which had
only just been removed, and which had
for so many years secured a practical
monopoly to two favored houses. So
numerous did the play houses become
/ that satirical piece on the subject was
produced, under The title of 1.-The Thou
sand and One Theaters." Our own
famous horse rider, Ashley, had house
in the Faubourg du Temple. called
"Astley's Circus" Owing to the eX-
cited state of public opinion at this
time the newly acquired liberty of
| the theaters was source of considera-
BILE embarrassment to the government.
| Political satires, thinly veiled, were the
rage, and the fight of the king and his
arrest at Varennes. was followed by a
whole crop of plays, avowedly based on
that important event. At one house,
situated in the very heart of the aristo-
cratic Faubourg st. Germain, n military
spectacle called "The Arrival in Paris
of the Saviors of their Country" was
given, and the two men, Drouet and
Guillaume, who had been instrumental
in arresting the king, were publicly
crowned on the stage with laurels. The
minister of the interior, Cahier issued
u sort of protest against the manifesto
tions to which such entertainments gave
rise, but he was powerless to prevent
| them.
There is fact about the French rev
olution more wonderful in its way thar
any which can be discovered in ole
newspapers by M. Gustave Isambert ol
any other searcher of public records
1t is the fact gathered from private let
ters of the period that in these stirring
times, when all the world was ringing
with the events in Paris, there were ac
tually people in that city living in abso
lutte ignorance of the horrors arount
them There was no Reign of Terro
for them. They lived veritable recluse
in their quiet suburban houses, hearing
nothing, reading nothing, of the tur
mol which startled and terrified the ma
tions. One wonders much what man
ner of people these oyster-lilke folk
might be. Nothing sounds more incred
ible today. Yet there are many thing
in history not half so well authenticat
ed, though history is curiously silent ol
so strange a circumstance. - LondoI

ABOUT CHROMOS.

AT the most the chrome is no more
and no less than vicious parody, and
we know that parody is one of the roads
to popularity, or, to change the figure,
it is one of the best badges of popular

ever, for one to take the fact of par
ody or chrome as indisputable evi.
dence of any value whatever in the
original. Nevertheless, and as say ii

stays for sobbIng.

"Sobbing stays" or corsets "a sang
lots" are French addition to mourn
ing outfit With his knowledge of the
niceties of his profession, the French
iressmalser understands that when a
woman sobs unrestrainedly her frame
undergoes certain physical convolutions
that might be detrimental to her toilet
If stiff, unyielding stays was her sup
port. To permit, therefore, madame's
grief to eXpend itself naturally and still
protect her costume from any danger
resulting therefrom, these stays are
provided. A triangle of elastic is set in
ut each side, which gives" with every
violent outburst of grief, and no harm
is done. The art of the French man

Once a week give the room thorough

Harvard's Football Eleven in Prime Con.

Boston, Nov. 17.-After two monshs OF
hard and conscientious work Capt. Traf-
fords eleven, upon whom hang the hopes
ofthousands of Harvard's supporters, will
today close the seasons practice prelimi-
nary to the great struggle with Yale at
Hampden Park on Saturday. The public
In general looks forward to another Yale
victory, partly because it Is an old story
for the blue TO fiaunt above the crimson,
and partly because in public form Yale
has shown herself superior.
While this confidence in Yales prowess
Is perhaps natural, there is certainly a
gleam OF hope for Harvard that should
give courage To the graduates and under
graduates alike. Handicapped though
the team has been by the scarcity OF
constant coaches, by the slough of
despond into which the men fell two
weeks ago, they have surmounted all diff
bculties, and are now pulling together,
confident that they should win, and i'm,
spired to the highest degree with that
"Do or die" spirit so essential TO body OF
men upon whom so much depends.
When the teams line up on Saturday
Harvard will be represented by the best
man she has for each position, and every
one OF them In prime condition. Nearly
every man has been through the ordeal OF
n Yale game, and the new men are such
"thoroughbreds" that they will more than

BROWN YELLS FOR BLUE,
Large Party OF the Boys VIII See the

Local interest in the great Yale-Har-
ard football contest next Saturday at
Springfield increases as the decisive dav
approaches. A large delegation of en-
thusiasts will leave Providence in ample
time TO witness the game. MANY OF TIE a
gentlemen have already secured quarters
while others are making the necessary ar
rangements. Brown University will send
delegation OF seventy-fve rooters in n
special car attached to the 7:30 A. M ex-
press for Worcester where 10 will connect
with the Boston aud Albany regular
train to Springfield.
These are all Yale men and their seats
will be located on the Yale side of the
grounds. Yale is the prime favorite here.

Brown University. If the crimson pen

of the Brown University football team,
