Once during the school-days of the

his arms tightly upon his chest, look

him the exact position of this little
group. which belongs to the more inn
portant French establishment of Ia
hiti, and, after a short pause, and with
a little point of irony, said: 'tYou
ought to know that, Perier, because it
is thanks to your grandfather that
france acquired the ascendency in
these parts of the world; it was
through his efforts and entreaties that
the dusky queen of these islands was

An English mans Lament Over Scenes
Common in London Bathrooms.
A writer in an English newspaper
generacy of the age, says the New
York Sun, and cites examples of the
great falling off in manners in what
are generally called in Great Britain
the upper circles to prove it. If half
he says is true he makes out a very
good case. He asserts that in London
bathrooms one finds the chaperons,
ladies often of mature years, strug
Cling for seats like so many football
men IN a scramble. He objects to
what he calls ''their calm insolence
and their tricks and devices to get the
better of one another" He alleges
that couple of dowagers will, when
seated on each side of a third talk
across her for an hour or more so
eagerly that their chins almost meet
in front of the sufferer. Dowagers
have offended him seriously. The
critic notices the recent stringent
rules at the queens drawing-roOms.
and says that they were necessary
Nothing milder, in his opinion, would
check the crowding and pushing which
have now converted the scene of a
great state ceremonial into lively
bear garden Then there is the i'll
hammered chatter with which oc-
cupants of stalls and boxes at the
theater interrupt the performance.
This censor of public manners finds
that the most hopeless feature is the
behavior of the rising generation.

He looked at the fine piece of pie
and big glass of cold milk she set
down on the table for him to finish
on, and laid down his knife and fork
IF you mean by better days,

woman was so pleased that she
almost wanted to take him as a
