The exiled king of France, Charles K,
was then resident In Holyrood palace with
his two grandchildren-the Due de Bor-
deaux, afterward known as the Comte de
Chambord, and his sister Louise, who was
never designated otherwise than as made
moiselle. Their governess, the Duchesse de
Gontaut, was a friend Of my mothers,
and as it was thought desirable that the
royal children should have some young
companions we were selected to associate
with them and frequently went to them
at Holyrood, while they were often also
invited to our house. Mademoiselle espe-
cially enjoyed coming to us, away from
all the stiffness of court etiquette, and
also because she had quite romantic at
tachment to one of my sisters, Sir Wal
ter's Curlinda.
On one occasion, when she came to us
without her brother, we got leave to make
our escape from the solemnity of the draw
ing room, where Meme. de Gontaut was
seated with my mother, and we all ran
off together to amuse ourselves in some
other room. We chose my fathers study
as the scene of our exploits, knowing that
he had gone out. Arriving there, my sis
ter suggested that as mademoiselle was
sure to be queen some day we had better
erect a throne for her on the top of the
writing table and duly install her in 1t.
The young princess was 1 very clever,
thoughtful child, and her words were
characteristic, "Ah, cherie, who can say
whether in the future 1 shall be poor lit.
tie queen or a magnificent beggarl"
AS matter of fact, she became Duchess
of Parma. But we carried out our design
of treating her as future monarch. By
means of pile of cushions on the study
table, we raised very satisfactory throne
and placed her upon it. Then, believe,
one of us acted as principal lady in wait
ing, and formally presented the others,
who made profound courtesies and were
received by the princess with becoming
dignity. In the midst of this little court
drama the door opened, and my father
walked in, not being even aware that there
were any visitors in the house, and ht
stopped in some surprise to contemplate
the scene.-Argosy.

Insurance and Gambling.

Certain forms of wagers are approved at
the present day universally by statute
law. The most familiar forms are fire and
life insurance. 1t is perhaps of interest to
note here that these forms of wager, now
so common and so universally approved
came into popular use slowly against a
strong current of disapproval, upon the
ground that they were immoral. AS late
as 1903 in the state of Pennsylvania life
insurance policies in which the assured
had no interest were held to be void.
There is no form of contract which
comes nearer to the essential features of a
wager than fire insurance. What does
person buy for the premium which he
paysi No certain return, only this-that
in the remotely possible event that the
building insured shall be burned then the
insurer agrees to make good the loss, up
to the amount of the policy. The amount
of premium bears the same ratio to the
sum guaranteed as the chance of burning
does to the chance of not burning. REV.
T. A. Hendrick in Donahoe's Magazine.

Chinese Punishments.

In December, 1891, was in Canton.
One afternoon visited the principal Law
court. Two prisoners in chains were in.
troduced-one an old man, too infrm tc
walk; the other youth, tolerably vigor,
Gus, but abject and forlorn in demeanor
The presiding mandarin appeared, sat
down and slipped his tea, while an official
battered out long grafton, presumably
an indictment, for the prisoners proceeded
as understood, to plead mot guilty. D
What followed was this: The old man was
held up-not held down-while two stolid
Cinnamon flogged him with long, plant
canes above the knees The youth was di.
vested of his chains, which were then piled
up in front of him. Upon these he was
compelled to kneel while his feet, hands
and pigtail were all attached by cord tc
post behind him and tightly secured.
The cries of the victims and the complete
composure of the spectators were alike
disgusting. I said as much to my guide,
whom l generally regarded as an anna.
BILE being. His reply was: "This very in.
teresting. l never seen this before, 4"
though have no doubt he had. The ex-
PLANTATION of the dreadful scene-eXcuse
there could be none-was that, by the law
of China, no man can be executed until he
has confessed his guilt. These two indi.
viduals had been convicted beyond doubt
of heinous crimes, but they refused to con.
fess. The alternative before them was ex-
ecution or death by torture, and apparent
ly they preferred the latter. The ceremony
l witnessed was to be repeated de die in
diem until either life resolution gave
way. How the end came, of course, never
knew.-London Spectator.

The Indian Money Lender.

The Indian money lender almost every.
where is a thorough Shylock. Rajah
Brooke tells me that in Sarawak, where
land may not be sold for debt, unless as q
penalty for swinding, and where limit is
put on the interest that his courts will en-.
force, the Indian money lender has been
found ar hard and merciless as the China.
man and Malay are fair and reasonable.
With men like these and an ignorant peas
antry one would have thought that Eng.
fish judges would have done their best sc
to administer the law between the two as
to give the debtor fair chance, while al
lowing the creditor what was justly due.
But they aJ1 so hidebound, such slaves tc
the letter of the law and to English prece
dents, that not a helping hand can the
debtor get, and the courts are mere ma
chimes which the money lender sets in mo
tion or directs at his pleasure.
l remember case in which a Moham
medan lady, one who never appeared in
public and the owner of valuable vii
lage, was sued for something like SO, DOG
rupees, the money advanced being, so fan
as / could ascertain, not more than 2,00C
rupees at the outside. The court of first
instance-a native subordinate judge-ap
pointed committee to examine the cred.
itor's accounts, which reported them as
very suspicious. Still, a bond for the
amount sued for had been given, and, il
face of rulings by the high court, the sub
judge had no alternative but to give de
cree for the full sum. And an appeal tt
the high court of Bombay, which was pros.
ecuted by the lady's friends, met with nc
success. However much the lady might
have been defrauded, they decided tht
bond was in order and the village must
go.-National Review.

The Friday Superstition.

Much ridicule has been poured on thir
teen clubs, Friday clubs and other associ
atoms formed for the laudable purpose OF
dealing in a practical and pleasant way
with current superstitons. General Wolse-
ley, who in pretentious military criticism
included Dessaix, the hero of Marengo
among the generals who accompanied Ma
poleon to Russia, has written flippant
letter to thirteen club in London to say
that he loves to cherish the pretty super
stitions of his childhood. Against this
false sentiment it must be said that some
of the current popular beliefs are positive
ly mischievous in many respects.
Not transatlantic steamship company
has Friday among the days of departure,
md until quite recently none of the coast
wise steamship lines had put the unlucky
day on its list 1t would be highly desir
able for the ocean mail service that some
steamships should leave Atlantic ports on
Friday, but while the owners are doubt
less exempt from any superstition on the
subject they are obliged to defer to an alb
surd popular notion. Else they would be
apt to find very small passenger list
and might possibly experience some diff
