more or less resemble daisies. Such
spots as are dotted regularly over the
muslin are easiest to manage, and
therefore usually chosen. The fol.
lowing shows more elaborate way OF
working the flowers when the spots
are scattered among the details OF a
leafy, branching pattern. The spots
are covered with French knots; the
rays Of the flowers are worked with
spike stitches placed on each side OF
a straight line of split stitch. A
good effect may also be gained by
working these sections with feather
yeining, such as is used in many
kinds OF linen embroidery for the
midribs of leaves and In similar
places. This work is even prettier
when a pale shade Of pink or blue Is
used for the flowers than when the
customary white filoselle is employed,
which is rather apt to pass for por
tion of the pattern already on th'
muslin.

ing as a soldier. She served as a
marine on one of the vessels OF a feet
bound for the West Indies, and
showed so much courage that she was
repeatedly promoted. Her sex was
unknown, and therefore it could never
be claimed that Hannah SHELLS sue
cess was due to partiality or favorit-
ism. Once, when dangerously wound
ed, she extracted the ball herself,
fearing that she might be discovered
and discharged. After long service
she returned to her native home at
Worcester, England, where her adj
ventures soon became spread abroad.
The government on investigation OF
her really great career granted her Q

one Eminent Lawyers Fee.

The most eminent consulting law
yer OF Paris at one time in the last
century was the Able May. His
opinion had great weight in forming
the decision of the judges, and he
was often consulted in important
matters outside the law. His fee
for an opinion was usually large
one. The story of one of his excep-
tional fees is related by NJ. de Bots
Saiut-Just in his history OF Paris: q
A cure from the country called on
the Able one day, and after compli-
menting him with earnestness and
sincerity on his creditable and de-
served reputation, said that he was
involved In a lawsuit which he did
not understand. He asked the Able
to advise him whether he was in the
right or in the wrong, and whether
he had better carry on the suit sc
saving, he delivered TO the great
| iurist an enormous package OF pa
pers covered with almost illeglDle
handwriting.
The Able cheerfully accepted the
task. and told the cure to call AGAR
in two weeks. He was pleased witt
the good simpIe-hearted man, ano
devoted his best energies to clearing
up the case, though he was obliged
TO nut other matters aside in order II
do so. The cure called on the ola,
appointed, took the .Abbe's WRITER
opinion and read it through critically
He was delighted with the enthusi
asm and clearness with which hi
rights were set forth.
Embracing the Able gratefully, n
cried: :,
aAh, monsieur, no one could b
better pleased than am, and / wan
Won To be satisfied also. Here Is m

is due you," and he threw a 3-fran
piece on the table.

Several gentlemen, sitting together |
in the smoking compartment OF a
Pullman car, fell to relating their

Four or five adventures OF the sort
had been related, when an English
man in the party declared that all
these stories were as nothing COM

own country, OF which he had been
an unwilling spectator. or course he
was at once called upon to tell the
story.

The Marseilles Hymn.

The famous French national song
had singular origin. Early in l7e2,
during the first French revolution, a
column of volunteers was about leav-
ing Strasburg, and the Mayor gave
them a banquet, and asked young
officer named Rouget de Lisle to COM
pose a song in their honor. He con-
sented, and in the course OF single
night produced the song and the tune
to which it is sung. 1t was received
with great enthusiasm, and by lts
means the column was increased
from 600 to 1000. 1t was soon sung
by the whole army of the north, but
was still unknown in Paris. In July
the youth Of Marseilles were sum-
mOned to Paris, and they came sing
ing this hymn. The Parisians were
electrified, and they gave 1T the name
OF the @Marseillaise," which 1T has
borne ever since. 1t is sung with true
French enthusiasm on every inspiring
occasion.
The following Is a translation Of
the hymn:

ening him with what they termed dumb
bull" which is q rawhide stretched over
large can having no bottom, and the noise
Of which can be heard long distance,
made by drawing rosin strings through
holes in the rawhide. They invited him
opossum hunting.
When Alonzo Ravire was reached one Of
the hidden confederates turned loose the
''dumb bull, )" and all the boys pretended to
be frightened and outran Hunter. He
could not get out of hearing of the unearth-
~ noise, and was beside himself with fear.
He would pray awhile and then get up and
run. When the boys thought they had
scared him enough they searched for him,
but he was not found until after midnight,
behind a log, almost frozen. He had to be
carried home and put to bed, where he has
remained since The boy remembers moth
ng, but raves continually.
