Among those persons 70 whom Marie
Antoinette, queen Of France, paid partic-

1879, the milliner placed herself In n bal

majesty as she passed waved her hand 10

"From beef without mustard, from

woman who painteth herself the good Lord
deliver us, says an old English proverb.
This calls renewed attention to the value
which epicures have always placed upon
mustard. In the household account books
of the sixteenth century the annual sup
ply of mustard is laid down as an impor-
tant item. While this stimulant TO the di-
gestive powers can undoubtedly be abus-

most wholesome and excellent. The French

low exceptional facilities for seeing
what is best worth seeing in the coun-
try, and particularly in giving him the
run Of the military and secret ar

of making plain, simple, direct story
of the national struggle for liberty in
Germany during the period of Ma
poleon l. which struggle was against
Napoleon in the first place and against
despotic narrow legislation in the
second.
when Prussia was smashed to atoms
by the first Napoleon, Mr.. Bigelow
said, when no Prussian knew whether
there was to be Prussia or not; when
the Prussian king had given up all
hope Of regaining his throne; when he
expected TO have to seek an exile on
Russian soil. exactly as Napoleon III.

this would be inconsistent with the
