Mc!ssonler.

Meissonier's paintings are all the
rage in Paris just now and the stories
In which the artist is the hero seem TO
be innumerable. 1t now turns out
that he inherited his artistic genius
from his mother. His father kept a
shop and thoroughly despised the as
pirations of the young man. "Ver,
we'll" said he one day, III, instead Of
learning my business and assisting me
TO increase it for your own benefit lin
ally, you are determined 10 enlist Ia
the army OF long-haired and long
bearded tramps that die of starvation,
you can 90. But don't want YOU to
die of hunger. A man can live on 10
cents day. will give YOU Is francs
a month. That is the best way to en-
able you to find out if you are really
born painter as you say. But every
time you are without the price of YOUR
dinner come here and dine with us. :"
Meissonier accepted the offer. He be-
gan by peddling his sketches. but he
was not successful. and the ID cents q
day was not always sufficient to keep
him. Every time that he was sorely
pinched by hunger he came to his
fathers house at desert time. ~Have
you dined?" was the usual question of
his father, and Yes, sir, have just
come to join YOU in cup Of coffee"
was Meissonier's regular reply. As
Dumas puts it. his stomach remained
empty, but his honor was saved. In
other words. he lied to save his honor
and then went TO bed hungry.
We'll, Charlie" said the nurse the
other day to 9-year-old Boston boy,
you're an uncle now; you've just had
a little nephew" us that SOP" said
Charlie with blase air. We'll, l sup
pose I'll have to give the little beggar

FIRING UP AFRICAN STEAMBOATS,.
o"opping Wood Every Night ON the
congo for tho Next Day's Hun.

One OF the chief riches in the Congo
valley Is the forests, which contain not
only inexhaustible quantities of india
rubber, but also essences and woods OF
. great value. among which ebony and
rosewood are most conspicuous, saws
the N. Z. Sun Traces of coal have
been found, but for the present at least
steamers on the upper river are entire
Iy dependent upon the forests for fuel.
They have no difficulty in renewing
their supplies. because the borders OF
the river and its tributaries are for the
most part an upbroken forest. 1t Is
estimated that the forest around the
Congo State station of Lukolela num-
bers about half million trees, and that
the various kinds of timber are adapt-
ed for every use which mankind makes
OF woods, from canoes to the finest
quality Of furniture.
There are now about thirty steam
boats plying on the Upper Congo.
Some parts Of the river widen until It
Is almost seaike. On these stretches,
miles and miles in width, the liver
Is quite shallow, and it is not possible
therefore, to use vessels that surpass
a certain tonnage. 1t is necessary for
the boats to renew their supply of fuel
daily.
Every evening when the steamer ties
up to the bank for the night the wood
choppers jump ashore and make for
the timber. They are employed for
no other service. While the tents are
being raised on the bank and part Of
the crew are preparing supper, the
choppers begin cutting down dead
trees and saving up fallen logs. They
often work all night preparing the next
days fuel. dragging IL TO the boat and
slowing II away on board; and when
the steamer is ready to start in the
morning they turn in for their we'll
earned sleep. OF course green timber
could not be used. but there is plenty
OF dead wood as dry as tinder. Some
OF the larger boats consume about three
cords Of wood q day.
At a number of places TIC natives
have now begun TO collect dead wood
and pile IL up on the river banks ready
to sell to the steamers. This is a
source of considerable profit TO them,
and the boats prefer To get their sup
plies IN this way, as delays are thus
obviated. Sometimes, however, there
are long controversies with the natives
before they permit the steamer hands
to cut the wood. These palayers. as a
rule, are.not inspired by feelings Of
hostility, but are merely an attempt Of
the natives to axtort the last bead or
the last inch of cloth they can get for
the fuel. They, however. rarely refuse
permission 10 cut wood in their neigh
borhood, for thcy know TINT the steam.
er can easily go few miles farther,
where the people will probably show
themselves to be more hospitable and
benefit by it.
The State imposes very small tax
upon the steamers OF the trading COM
pnnies for the privilege of cutting
wood. The fact that last year this
trifling tax amounted in the aggre-
gate TO about 5000. shows that the
trading companies are making some-
shing Of stir on the upper Congo.

A Beautiful Young Thing.

She was beautiful young thing.
Her face glowed with health. Her
eyes were bright. her cheeks were
pink, and her features rs regular as
those of q Greek goddess. An old man
with a long gray beard sat opposite her
in a'Niagara street car He gazed at
her i'm unconcealed admiration. Her
eyes encountered his and she blushed
prcttily. The old man spoke to the
man next To him. That is q pretty
girl over there" he said. "How modest
she looks. Her face gives indication
of her culture and refinement. |
would she were my daughter" The
girl exiJeptly beard all that was said
She blushed again. For an instant she
gazed at the old man. Her lips moved
as to speak. The old man leaned for.
ward TO hear what she might say.
The girl hesitated. Then. picking ur
courage. she calculated: say, old
feller. your whiskers is full OF hair!"
And the conductor was so ticaIed that
he xlve a handful of transfer checks
to newsboy. The funny thing about
this story is that il is true.-Bu0alc

DEPRESSING SIGHT ON THE COAST.
The Decay OF a Beautifully Located Towa
From Which the Boom Has Fled.

The most depressing sight saw in
a month of recent travel on the Pacific
coast was dead city, says writer in
the Northwestern Magazine. i will not
give its name or locality, forI do not
want TO add 10 the ubles of its few
remaining inhabitants. At the height
OF its boom it had population of T.
900, now Il, has scaut 1000, and these
are holding on only because they
hoped that a railroad would do some
thing for the place this year or next.
The town is well built on the shores Of
q beautiful bay, but it has not single
wagon road leading back into the
country. The forests hem ii in Oh al
the landward sides. 1t has not single
industry that ! could discover to sup
port the population, save one saw mill.
The people are literally living on each
other. ,
In the big hotel sat down to an exJ
cellent dinner servered by white-jack-
eted negro walters. but there were
only three guests besides myself. l

met nobody. | looked into the many
stores and saw no customers. A daily
paper appears regularly and trains
and boats come and 90, but there is
no perceptible business transacted.
The town was founded by land COM
pany rs gigantic speculation and the
company took in money enough from
the sale of lots to accumulate re-
serve fund from which the expenses
of the hotel and newspaper are still
paid. Perhaps the railroad company.
which is constantly invoked as q spe.
cial providence, will yet do something
to revive the place. hope so. In tho
meantime il offers curious and strik.

Adopting English Words.

The French Academy, jealous as it
Is for the purity of its native language,
is nevertheless obliged to admit that
certain English words have obtained
so firm a footing in it that il is useless
henceforth to attempt to drive them
out. says the London Daily Ne,os. NJ.
Greard, chairman or "rapporteur" to
the dictionary commission appointed
by that body, has just presented a re-
port full of details interesting to phil
Ologists. The commission does not
attempt to justify "un five O'clock"
meaning live o'clock tea, still less the
infinitive form, five o'clocquer,"
meaning to take five o'clock tea. and
they are silent as to meeting" "book-
maker" Casually written "bookmack-
cry, sportsman" Cor "sportmans"),
Handicap" @boule dogue," and other
words frequently heard in the mouths
of Frenchmen. What they do say is
that forms like "bifteck" (beefsteak).
rSfssss. Spleen aud few others
which may be said 10 have no French
equivalents may henceforth be consid-
cred as part Of the French language.
At the same time it Is re mmended
that the spelling shall be altered SO
that they may correspond with the To-
Cal pronunciation. Thus "biftec" 10 to
replace sbifteck,' "brec," brake. and
-spline," spleen.
The most noteworthy Of the other
recommendations of the commission
is the suppression of the circumHex
accent, leaving only two accents. the
acute and the grave.

the Royal is correspondingly purer ana
