However moderate the expense of a
student of the present time may be,
they can hardly reach the extremely
modest sum which sufficed Jean Mar
montel, a French poet, during the
reign of Louis XIV, for years school
ing. In his Memoirs" he speaks of
his school-life as follows:
II was lodged, as was the custom Of
the school, with five other scholars at
the house of an honest mechanic.
MY provisions for a week consisted
of a large loaf of rye bread, . little
cheese, a piece of bacon, and two or
three pounds of beef. My mother had
added to them a dozen apples.
''This was the weekly provision Of the
best-fed scholars of the school The
mistress of the house cooked for us, and
for her trouble, her fire, her lamp, her
beds, her house-room, including even
the vegetables of her little garden,
which she used for our soup, each of us
gave her twelve pence half penny a
month.
"Reckon;ng everything except my
clothes, cost my father between four
and five pounds year. This was much
to him, and an expense of which I was
very anxious to see him relieved"
Marmontel was for years obliged to
practice the virtue of frugality. Under
these severe conditions his talent acted
quickly, and he became one of the fore

A DOG STORY.
One OF the Species That Acted the Good
Samaritan.

One OF the Species That Acted the Good
Samaritan.
A Chicago dog has been distinguish
ing himself recently. He Is a member
of the canine aristocracy that sleep on
cushions in warm rooms, have baths in
porcelain tubs twice week, and live
principally on tenderloin steaks. This
particular dog is of the spaniel family,
and has long since acquired a reputa-
ton as perfect gentleman.
For several days past the servant un-
der whose immediate care this dog is
placed has noticed that he seemed un-
willing to eat his breakfast in the
house. Every morning he took his por-
ton of meat between his jaws, walked
to the door, wagged his tail, and
looked appealingly into the servants
eyes If the door was opened in re-
sponse to this mute request he disap-
peared imm mediately and was not seen
again until after luncheon. If the
door was not opened he placed the
meat on the floor close by and sat
guard over it until an opportunity for
escape arrived.
The dogs mistress learned of his un-
accountable conduct. She was very
much interested, and engaged detec-
tive to shadow the dog and report upon
his proceedings and conduct The de-
tective was her brother, so his services
were gratuitous. One morning he sta
toned himself outside the kitchen, and
when the dog appeared was careful not
to attract his attention. But the dog
saw him, and Immediately put on an
air of dilettante indifference, as though
he had some idea of taking a constitu-
tional, but wasn't quite sure whether
he felt well enough. So the detective
pretended to be busy looking for four
leaved clovers. The dog was a trife
suspicious at first. but the detective
was good actor, and managed to de-
ceive him completely; and presently
the dog lounged away toward the gate,
and then, when he thought the detec-
tive wasn't looking, sneaked out.
Down the alley he trotted, fat beef
steak in his mouth, and presently
turned into q vacant shed in the next
block.
When the detective arrived he found
the dog sitting quietly in the corner Of
shed. He seemed rather surprised and
a good deal mortified, but was extreme
ly cordial In another corner of the
shed the last piece of steak was rapidly
doing down the throat of another dog.
This dog wasn't handsome. In fact, he
was about the homliest, dirtiest, most
unkempt and generally used-up dog the
detective had ever seen. There was an
-
unduly prominent. But he was dog,
if he wasn't beautiful, and the other
dogs charity was clearly his only sup
port.
And this, good people, was a dog
Not a man, blessed with reason and
education in the principles of Christian
ity, but a plain, brute, dog. Yet how
many men, placed in a similar situa-
ton, would act the good Samaritan as
he did?-Chicago News
