Not to he Reached.

The people Of the extreme south oi
France, in the neighborhood of the Pyre-
nees. have hard shift to live. Some OF
them gain livelihood by tanning bears.
Many others take to begging which be
comes a trade by itself, reasonably re-
munerative and not exactly dishonorable.
Baron Haussmann, in his Memories,
cites the case Of one of these professional
beggars who amassed good property and
finally became mayor of a large commune.
Even then he continued to ply his trade,
especially in the bathing season, when
many tourists visited the country. One
of these outsiders was so taken aback at
the sight OF the mayor begging on the
street that he demonstrated with the men
dicant.

if he knew anything of an alleged expert
ment before the French Academy of Medi-
elmo demonstrating that the ten trillionth
part of IA drop of scpticnmic poison would
destroy the life of guinea pig, it having
been publicly argued in Boston that this
proved the potency CT infinitesimal doses
of medicine DR.. Holmes added in post
script to his note of reply, The argument
from the effect of animal poisons in small
quantities tC medicinal substances in gen
cral is like saying that because spark

6 feet inches in height, and from every
outward appearance river driver,
boarded train No. at Bangor, which ar
riyes here at 1l.07. He held a second
class ticket, and although his mind was
somewhat bewildered, he remained peace
full until Augusta was reached While
nearing Hallowell his ideas of travelling
become more elevated and he determined
to s'do up" everybody on the train He
concluded to promenade the cars tor
.sblood. " but owing to the difficulty in
maintaining his equilibrium his mission
was not accomplished, and was checked
in his mad career as the train arrived at
Hallowell. He was being disposed OF by
the police when he repented OF his ac-
tions and after demonstrating his willing
ness to let the conductor run the train he
was allowed to proceed to his destination.

TO PLAY THE DEVIL.
A Story Of the Days of the Miracle Plays
of Long Ago.

OF Long Ago.
Many familiar phrase may be traced
to the old miracle plays TO play the
devil" Is one Of them. Naturally tho devil
played most prominent part in those old
world dramas whereof the Oberammergau
passion play is now almost the sole sur
vival. And when these old plays gave
way to the moralities his satanic majesty
was felt to be far too important person
age to be dropped. The devil, too. could
and did tear passion to tatters. He was
paid for it, but none too well paid if we
may judge from veteran pay sheet, where
we read: paid to Hcrod, 3s 4d.; item to
PLATE, his wife. 2s.; item to the devil,
Is. Cd
We know not how much guerdon was
received by certain John Adroyns, to
whom it once fortuned to play the dyvyil"
at a certain market town in Suffolk when
the seventh Henry ruled this realm. But
even If he played gratis he had some fun
for his pains, for as he trudged home
ward after dusk in his DEVILS apparel he
stumbled on the curate of his parish and
two or three other unthrifts rabbit poach-
ing The poachers mistook him for the
genuine article and took to their heels,
leaving behind them horse laden with
comics. John Adroyns mounts the horse
and rides off to inform the lord Of the rab-
bit warren, thinking to be thanked for re-
storing the pluDder. But first one servant
and then the other, after peep at him,
runs away to tell the master of the house
that the devil is at the door, sitting on a
horse laden with souls, and "by likelihood
he is come for your soul. Purpose yo to
let him have your soul? And if he had 1t
l ween he would be gone"
On hearing these words from the fourth
frightened servant the master called his
chaplain and bade him get bell, book and
candle and go with him to the door, To
the door they went with as many servants
as burst at their heels. And the chaplain
bade the horseman in the name of the Holy
Trinity tell his errand, whereupon John
Adroyns made answer: Fear not me, for
am good devil. am John Adroyns,
your neighbor, that played the devil today
in the play. / bring my master dozen
or two Of his own comics and the horse Of
the thieves who for fear ran away" And
so, knowing his voice, "they unsparred
the door and let him in, and the aforesaid
fear was turned to mirth and sport. -
