Anew Version of an Old Story.

Every one has heard that old and popu-
larly accepted story Of Marie Antoinette
and the starving peasants, and it is always
told as an illustration of the heartlessness
and carelessness of royalty concerning the
common people.
1t has served it's purpose well, but unior'
tunately it is not quite true. Mr.. Mattieu
Williams gives the correct version. he says:
"Weare told that when Marie Antolnette
was informed Of a famine in the neighbor-
hood of the Tyrol and Of the starving OF
some Of the peasants there, she replied, l
would rather eat pie crust than starve. ,
Some Of the story tellers, by the way, have
il pastry, Others cake. ThereupoD the court
iers giggled at the ignorance of the pam
pered princess, who could suppose that
starving peasants had such an alternative
food as pie crust.
THE ignorance, however, was all on the
side of the courtiers and those who repeat
the story in its ordinary form. The prin-
cess was the only person in the court who
really understood the habits of tn peasants
of the particular districts in question. They
cook their meat, chiefly young veal, by roll
ing it in kind of dough made OF sawdust,
mixed with coarse -four to hold it together,
then placing this in an oven or wood EN-
bers until the dough is hardened to a tough
crust and the meat is roasted throughout
to the proper point of cooking. Marie An
toinette said she would rather eat pie crust
than starve, knowing that those meat pie
crusts are given to the pigs, and they are
nourished by them and digest them IN spite
of the wood sawdust."

lions. Wealth subjects them to conditions
under which they are tempted into de-
moralizing habits, such as idleness and
extravagance-the former the devil s
workshop"-the latter one Of his tools.
The conditions which surround the poor
render labor compulsory, and tend to
develop habits of industry, economy
and thrift. But perhaps the conditions
of life under which men are neither so
rich nor so poor as to be subjected to
the demoralzng influences of either
wealth or poverty. are most favorable
for the development OF moral character
and manhood, and such are the conditions
to which Mr.. Pages middle classes"
in Virginia are generally exposed.
It Is probable that in Virginia the per-
centage OF virtue in the people who have
not colonial" or distinguished ancestry
is as great as 1t is in the people who have
them; and after all. is It not virtuous
rather than n distinguished ancestry Of
which man should be most proud? Is It
not better to inherit virtue than talent
II II Is more difficult to lift man on an
ethical than on an intellectual plane,
Is not moral character the highest pro-
duct OF evolution? The man who Is
honest, truthful and pure in words,
speech and deed must be recognized as
blood Of an intellectual giant may not
course through his veins.
The efforts which some people in vir-
ginia frequently make to prove their
gentility or right TO social position by
paradlng their relations and connections
before the world is not only in bad taste,
but betrays a knowledge Of defect in the
very title they aim to establish.
The masses Of the people in this State
are well-bred; they are perhaps as pure
English as any people on earth, and
without distinction OF class have the
virtues and vices" OF that race They
composed large part Of the flower Ct
a soldiery which has been extolled in
history even by enemies as that incom-
parable Southern infantry" They have
ever been the faithful guardians OF public
and private virtue. and have displayed
