ROYAL PAGES IN FRANCE.

Well Born Youths Who Used to Be MoH-
 archs' Messenger Boys.
 The Marquisde Chanaleilles was one of Louis XYIIIs pages. The other two still surviving are the Marquis de Casteja and Count de Marbles, who is as hale and hearty as Marshal MacMahon and about the same age. The pages of Louis XVIII were 20 in number and named by the king before the revolution. A youth to be admitted as page into the royal house hold had to prove Is generations of mo- bility on each side, making 82 quarters. But after the revolution the rather skep- tical and freethinking king whom Wat erloo set up at the Tuileries thought four quarters on the paternal side enough. The page had to enter at the age of and to spend three years in special school, on leaving which he drew a salary, had a uniform and duties to discharge about the kings person and at grand functions. At the age of F he entered a cavalry regiment as cornet.
 Pages in the period of their service were carefully taught how to ride, fence, dance and become showy officers Later in life M. de Chanaleilles attended as 8 page the coronation of Charles X and en- tered guard regiment. A few weeks subsequent to that event he planted the French flag on the quay of Algiers few weeks before the revolution of 1880. Louis XVIII lost the use of his limbs in exile and required fleet footed pages around him to fetch and carry. Boy at tendants always accompanied him when he went out in his bath chair or in his carriage, which, to give him exercise, was not hung on springs behind, but made to jolt there. The front seats were more comfortable.
 Two pages rode on horseback. A cou- pie stood on the steps-one on each side of the carriage. When they were tired, those behind changed places with them. They wore sky blue tunics, cooked hats and had gold buttons on their uniforms ornamented with the royal arms. The whole 20 attended at the Sunday recep- tions held by the king after mass at the Tuileries. The last old page who died before M. de Chanaleilles was Comte de Rouge. He died at the age of 60.-Paris Cor. London News.

Except myself, there was not passenger in the car, and my com panions on the ride were several pistoled policemen and the nonunion driver. Lots of stones and stuff came crashing through the windows as we made our adventurous progress through the city streets, and some shots were fired. managed to escape these delicate little attentions by skillful lodging and ducking, and if the policemen saw some thing coming that did not, they would courteously warn me, Look out theref It was very exciting, but I was rather glad to get to the end. What did do it for? I was correspondent for Phila- delphia paper at the time, and thought it would make a good story. It did too. !" New York Times.

The ability Of q woman to get on alone
in the world is sometimes questioned by
her big brothers. But there are plenty
of instances where women have been
left in circumstances which would try
the powers of the stoutest hearted man
to the utmost and have come out TIL
umphant. One Of these was mentioned
to reporter the other day In connection
with rough side hill farm in q remote
part of an inland town. There, said
our informant, pointing to the place,
sslived Aunt Abby s. when her hus-
band died. She then had three small
children, and another was born soon
after. The farm was in poor condition
and had about all the mortgage 1t could
bear. Her husbands old father, feeble
and fussy, was left on her hands. -
'sDid she send the old man to the poor
farm, think you? Not bit Of it. She
kept him a year or two, and he was SO
fussy she couldn't live with him. Then
she hired neighbor to take him, and she
paid his board 10 years, when he died.
She raised her children and brought
the farm into good condition. She paid
the mortgage, and when she died she
left good property free and clear of all
debts. The boys hadn't the old lady's
spunk, for there's mortgage up there
now, and nothing in the world but lazi-
ness did it. They had everything left
ready to their hands and amt had no
drawbacks, 'cept losin their mother, but
somehow the weeds have got the start Of
'em, and guess they'll keep it."-Lew-
iston Journal.

In Northern Alaska.

Juneau is the most northerly stopping
place on the regular Alaska excursion
route, and while it is not sufficiently
near the pole to meet the midnight sun
there is time during the summer season
Of the year for good deal of light work.
What most troubles strangers is to
know when to go to bed. The sun is ap-
parently unwilling to pass and leaves its
halo behind.
Twilight waits for dawn, or If there Is
an interval between have not discov-
cred it. It is not difficult to read ordi-
nary print at II o'clock, and sitting on
the deck at midnight (the ship keeps San
Francisco time) watching the shadows
cast upon the smooth water and the
snowcapped peaks at q few miles dis
lance is not uncomfortable with an over

Weeks before the royal wedding It
was openly whispered that the Duke Of
York, gallant sailor and gentleman,
had made a false step, had been forget
full of his princely and knightly duties
and obligations, and had, In fact, been
secretly married and involved himself In
q mesalliance, repugnant to his sense of
honor and illegal in the eyes of the well
known statute law. That law is simple.
None of our blood royal can legally con-
tract marriage without the consent Of
the reigning sovereign. Morganatic
marriages have been recognized as such,
and such love inspired sanctity as at
taches to these unions when faithfully
adhered to. The world knows all about
them and sympathizes with them. But
what said the quidnuncs, the tattlers,
the irresponsible, the chattering spar
rows who build under the caves Of pal
aces?
Blankly this, that George Of Wales
was married; that the name of the place
and the name of the lady, alleged to be
the daughter of naval officer of high
degree, were knoYh, and both names
and places changed and fluctuated as the
price of scandal shares rose or fell in the
gossip market. Like i'll winds, the ugly
rumor grew apace over the dinner table
and afternoon teapot. Men talked OF 1t
more shame to. them--women muir
INJURED it with giggles and innuendo; the
very outsiders" got hold Of it, and all
the time the story was positively and alb
solutely untrue. Think you for an in
slant that the head Of our church would
have married our prince and princess
had he not first satisfied himself, as we
have reason to know he did, that the
silly story was wholly untrue, absolutely
baseless? The question carries its own
answer. We contradict it directly with
authority. London Gentlewoman.

Willis Grave.

"That grave on the right hand of the
path as you go down to the porch door;
that heap of airth with no growth, not
one blade of grass on it-that's Will
Pooley's grave that was hanged unjust
ly."
"Indeedl But how came such shock
ing deed to be done?"
''Why, you see, sir, they got poor
Will down to Bodmin, all among stran-
gers, and there were bribery and false
swearing, and an unjust judge came
down-and the jury all bad rascals, tin
and copper men-and so they all agreed
together, and they hanged poor Will.
But his friends begged the body and
brought the corpse home here to his own
parish, and they turfed the grave, and
they sowed the grass 90 times over, but
twas all no use, nothing would ever
grow-he was hanged unjustly."
'Well, but, Tristan, you have not
told me all this while what this man
Pooley was accused Of; what had he
done?"

ever but killed the excise manI"-Rev.

The Tapping Of the Deathwatch.

The so called deathwatch, dreaded by
the superstitious, is small beetle which
has a very powerful joint In Its neck
and calls its mate by tapping with Its
head on the wall or on any surface where
1t may happen to be located. The noise
is similar to that which may be produced
by tapping with the finger nails on q
table. and the insect can frequently be
made to answer such taps.-New York
