The Legend of st, Denis.

st. Denis was a wanderer in the
wilds Of the Thessalonian forests for
the space of seven years. The
strange foods that he ate and the
constant companionship of nothing
but beasts and birds had a startling
effect. His fingers grew claws, and
his hair became as the fine feathers
of an eagle'sneck and breast. Final
ly, when nearly heartbroken by the
changes that his wild life was max
ing in body and mind, he wandered
over to a fine looking mulberry tree
and ate heartily Of the fruit. The
tree was enchanted, and partaking Of
its fruit brought a change O ter
rible than all his other transforma-
tions-he lost every semblance to a
man, instantly changing his shape
and likeness to that of deer. He
lay down under the tree and be-
moaned his fate in these words: Il
was of late a man, but now a
horned beast; / was a soldier, but
now a prey for doges. My bed Of
downe / must exchange for moss,
and musick for howleing windes."
While thus %lamenting his fate, the
tree spoke to him III words of cheer,
informing him that in sever years
he would be a nan again. Which"
the account says, did truly come to
ass."-Exchange.

Why the OPTICIANS Mourn.

CrinOline makers are naturally mich
annoyed at the crusade which has been
so successfully inauguraied against their
Vaccinations on ladies' attire. OPTICIANS,
especially those in the we5t end, are,
according to one of their number who
has been interviewed on the subject,
equally chagrined at the ukase of male
fashion forbidding ''mashers" wearing
single eyeglasses. The habit was a great
source of revenue for them, because the
young and old persons who formed this
notorious class, being unable to keep the
glass in position very long at a time. and
cords or chains being deemed common,
constant breakages occurred, which
brought to the opticians shops much
evenue.
Probably owing to the depression i'll
agriculture the tribe has given up thie
luxury. The loss has, however, to some
extent been compensated by a new craze
which ladies have taken of wearing
double eyeglasses, but in their case, as
the articles are always attached to a
cord, there is not so much chance of
necessity of renewal as among gentlemen.
Most married men will be pleased should
the ladies take to wearing glasses tenn
porarily, instead of crinolines, but the
optician thinks his colleagues have just
grounds Of complaint against the change
of fashion.-London Telegraph.

The +'!ust Use of Gas.

Great was the amazement of all

the last century William Murdoch
discovered that gas could be used for
illuminating purposes. So little was
the invention understood by those
who had not seer it in use that even
the great and wise @ men of the
British parliament laughed at the
idea. How can there be light with
out a wick?' said one member of that
august body, with a wink and know
ing nod. Even the great Sir Hum
phry Davy ridiculed the idea of light
ing towns and cities with gas. He
one day asked Murdoch, DO you
mean to use the dome of st. Paul's

and of the coming attempt to ''illu-

A Great War Just Avoided.

About two months ago we were on the
eve of a European war. Some of the ad-
visers of the czar insisted very much on
the desirability of Russia declaring wal
against Germany, as the defective rma
ments of the German troops would give
Russia a great advantage over her oppo-
nent. 1t was further pointed out to the
Emperor Alexander that France was five
months ahead of Russia in the matter Of
ornaments. In order to ascertain the
true facts of the case the car sent his
brother, the Grand Duke Sergius, to
Rome, Paris and London.
By some indiscretion the object of his

at n moment thought n wal unavoid-
able. The result Of the grand dukes

was not that inclination for wal which

majesty to believe.-Paris Figaro.
