GALLANT FRANCIS !.
How He Reconstructed Ancient Buildings
Into the Modern lgontainehieau.


Into the Modern Eontainehieau.
The modern Fontainebleau dates
from the gallant l1night errant Francis
/. a giant among his coUrtiers, q
graceful horseman, ameXpert wrestler,
a dexterous swordsman, Francis was
hailed as the glass of fashion and the
mirror of ehivalry, says the Edinburgh
Review. Succeeding to the throne at a
moment when the young nobility of
France was wearied of the economies
of lie Bon ROi Louis Douze," he en-
Ioyed the means as wei as the oppor-
tunity of iadulging his love of lavish
display. Deeply readsin chivalric ro-
mances, he had framed to himself an
Ideal of n knightly king, and. in the
opinion of his fatterel.s he united the
love Of glory and highbred courtesy OF
Roland with the virtues OF the most
constant of lovers, Armadis de Gaule.
1t was Francis and the brilliant
Pleiad of artists whom he gathered
around him who We're the true creators
Of the modern Fontainebleau Every

oratlng the victories OF the kinr-to

THE sULTAN'S WATCH.
Story of Trick Performed by Hermann
Before His Majesty.

story of q Trick Performed by Hermann
Before His Majesty.
while on board the sultan's yacht, g"
writes Hermann in the North Amer
lean Review, 81 noticed that he had a
magnificent watch, which he consulted
and handled as if it were the apple of
vis eye. This, of course, was a good
ching for me, for, since I was perform
ing before him personally, it was not
etiquette to take anything from the
audience. / asked the sultan to take
out his watch and show it to me, which
he did. l then said: VIII your inn
perial ma jesty allow me to throw the
watch overboard?'
HE laughed at first, but a second
afterwards his brow darkened, and he
looked a little bit as If he were of
Tended with me- for making the re-
quest.
If said I, 7 do not return the
watch to you exactly as you give it to
me, you can put me in irons for the
rest OF my life
THE sultan looked me in the eye
with a piercing glance and then handed
the watch to me. / instantly threw it
into the ripping waves of the Bos-
porus.
The yacht careened over, for every
individual, from the cabin boy to the
sultan himself, rushed to the side and
looked overheard after the watch.
Il felt that if anything went wrong
with this trick / certainly should be
put in irons; but I called for fishing
line, and, instead of showing any
anxiety, at'opce proceeded to do lit
tile fishing. Everyone looked at me,
not SO much with astonishmsnt as with
pure disbelief in my ability to recover
th5watch, which was not only one of
the things in the world the sultan
liked, but was worth Il great deal
more than any watch had ever seen.
Fortune favored my fishing, for in
q few minutes I drew up a sinner on
my hook, and landed it safely on the
deck. / brought it before the sultan,
took out my pockethnife, ripped it
open, and presented the watch to his
majesty in its original perfect con-
dition.
Turks, as a rule, are not very
demoEstrative, and found in after
life that to make Turk laugh heartily
is impossible. They smile, look pleased,
and with their daintily-pointed nails
pick their boards: but on this occasion
every Turk, from the sultan and his
blue-blooded pashas to the sailors in
the forecastle, sent up one howl of de-
light"
Mr.. Hermann does not tell how the
trick was done, but that is his own
affair
