tablished, but the power Of the weekly
organs of literature was still considera-
BILE. The then editor OF The Atheneum,
Hepworth Dixon, was greatly feared by
the small fry OF literature and not
much liked by the large fry.
u Is well known that Thackeray had
objections TO his daughter becoming an
authoress, from the apprehension OF
what Dixon might write OF her work. 1

An Anecdote of Perier.

Once during the schooldays OF the
president of the French republic his pro-
fessor in geography asked him, "Perier,
give us the exact position and indicate
the latitude of the Gambler group. 4"
Casimir- Perier crossed his arms tightly
upon his chest, looking very perplexed.
One of his neighbors whispered to him
the wrong answer, whereupon the pro-
fessor gave him the exact position Of
this little group, which belongs to the
more important French establishment
Of Tahiti, and after q short pause, and
with little point of irony, said: "You
ought to know that, Perier, because it
is thanks TO your grandfather that
France acquired the ascendancy in these
parts of the world. IL was through his
efforts and entreaties that the dusky
queen of these islands was induced to
come to France, and the men of my
generation still remember the comical
songs which celebrated the event" Pc.

LOST AND SPOILED MONEY.
The Bank of England Makes n Big Profit
on Her Notes.

on Her Notes.
Bank notes OF the value of thousands
of pounds are annually lost or destroyed
by accident In the 40 years between
1909 and 1882 there were outstanding
notes Of the Bank Of England, presumed
TO have been either lost or destroyed,
amounting TO 1880, 900 odd, every
shilling OF which was clear profit to the
bank
In many instances, however, IL Is pos
tble TO recover the amount of the note
from the bank in full. Notice has TO be
given TO the bank of the note supposed
TO be lost or stolen, together with
small fee and q full narrative as to how
the loss occurred The note is then
stopped" is, IL the document
should be presented for payment, tho
person stopping" the note il informed
when and TO whom IL is paid If pre-
sonted, after having been stopped"
by any suspicious looking person, and
not through banker, one of the detect
ives always in attendance at the bank
would bo called to question the person
as to how and when the note came into
his or her possession. IL is quite mis-
taken idea that stopped payment" of a
bank note has the effect supposed by
very many people. IL simply means that
the Bank of England carefully keeps q
lookout for the note which has been
"stopped, " and, though it cannot refuse
to pay such note Immediately on its be-
ing presented, "a notification would at
once be made to the person who stopped
it, and the bank would give all the as
sistance in its power to enable tho loser
to recover the amount
In the case OF bank note having
been, say, burned by mistake, IL the
number is known and notice sent TO the
Bank Of England 1t will pay the amount
after an interval of five years from the
date of lodging notice Of destruction
should no one have presented the note
for payment in tho meantime. The bank
In such cases also insists on guarantee
being given by % banker or two house
holders that 1t shall be repaid in the
event of the document turning up and
being again rendered for payment 1t is
not at all an unusual circumstance for
mutilated note to be presented for
payment, burned perhaps half through,
with marks of burning on the fringes.
Nor is the damage always accidental.
The men who indulge in the luxury Of
lighting their pipes with bank note
are not always, as some may think,
millionaires or recognized lunatics of
society. The spoiled notes are more often
than not presented by workmen or la
borers, who confess without hesitation
that they have Intentionally lighted
their pipes with them from mere brag-

A Partisan Industry.

A Paris correspondent describes one

be found in little shop in the Rue des
Ecoles, which deals exclusively with the
secondhand boots Of the men who work
In the sewers. These boots are furnished
by the state and come half way up the
thigh, and each man is allowed new
pair every six months. When new, they
cost 90; when sold secondhand, they
realize the modest sum of 90 cents, but
as at least 5000 pairs per annum are
sent to the Rue des Ecoles II makes
quite booming industry. The leather
Of these boots is, so to speak, tanned by
the alkaline and greasy water In which
the sewer cleaners paddle, and they are
eagerly sought for by the great Partisan
bootmakers, for this leather, being at
once tough and light, serves to sustain
the curve Of the Louis XIV heel.

SARCEYiS FAMOUS DUEL,
The Noted Parisinn Critics Own story OF
the Encounter.

the Encounter.
AT this moment appears gentleman
whom all Paris knows and almost all
Parisians adore-namely, Francisque
sarcoy Knowing himself to be among
friends, he talked freely. For half
century nearly our great critic has held
the pen, at first timidly, and now ho
wiolds IL with unquestioned authority.
Like most Parisian celebrities, he was
born in tho provinces, at Dourdan,
where his father kept school after tho
fall of the first Napoleon dissolved the
army in which the elder Sarcey had in
sisted ON enisting i'm spite of his excess
i've nearsightedness, transmitted to his
son. There Sarcey's parents toiled with
varying fortunes, and thence Francisque
took his flight for Paris and walked
firmly in the footprints of the late Jules
Janin, who also devoted his life to
dramatic criticism. He makes an idol of
the drama. He lives for his work lie re-
spoctfully considers dramatic criticism
an art and not trade and perhaps for
that reason IL the greatest critical au-
thority in France.
He told us of his duel with Hector
Pessard, the musical critic and comic
opera composer, who is "a very charming
man, by the way. Sarcey, in 1865,
wrote scathing attack on Girardin's
paper La Liborte. Emile dc Girardin
objected on principle to duels, SO the
editorial staff, considering their literary
style insulted by Sarcey, drew lots as to
who would call him out and kill him If
possible. Tho lot fell on Pessard. Now,
Pessard and Snrcoy We're great friends,
but it was necessary to obey the call Of
honor, so Pessard mt the challenge,
which Sarcey accepted with dignity.
The adversaries took off their coats and
vests and faced each other, swords in
hand, when, loi the four seconds took to
squabbling over some detail. The dis
pute was long and ferocious, and tho
two adversaries fell into conversation,
sword in hand.
Quoth Pessard-I am frozen. Would
you mind If put on my coat?
Sarcey-A good idea We can kill
each other later
Pessard-Let me tell you, my dear
Sarcey, how greatly admire your tai
ent.
Sarcey-I can say the same to you,
but why are we going to kill each other?
Pessard-I don't quite know. IL
seems you grossly insulted me, and IL i
do not succeed in killing you that you
must certainly slay me in expiation.
Sarcey (meditatively)-I do not re-
member having insulted you, but If you
say so suppose it is true.
In the meantime the four seconds
were quarreling furiously. One gentle
man was shaking his fist in his oppo-
nent's face and another was brandish-
ing his riding whip, whereupon Sarcey
suddenly burst out laughing and said:
Come, Pessard, let us separate our
seconds, and then, instead of cutting
each others throats, we will go and
have some breakfast.
Which was no sooner said than done,
and the two duelists have been fast
friends ever since.-Paris Letter in
Philadelphia Telegraph.

EXCURSIONS FOR SCHOOLS.
A Form of Instruction Scarcely Yet Known
In This Country.

In THIS Country.
Among the methods of instruction
scarcely yet known in our country. but
long established in Germany, is the
school excursion. Indeed, while to the
uninitiated this measure may be regard.
ed as no less than revolutionary, it is
nevertheless true that excursions from
two to three weeks in duration were un-
dertaken by Salzmann with the pupils
of his school at Schnepfenthal, in Thur
ingia, when Washington was president
of the United States. Since the close Of
the last century the school excursion, i'm
one form or another, has been growing
in popularity in Germany, and today
it forms regular feature of perhaps the
majority of the elementary schools of
that country.
The school excursion offers tho most
favorable opportunity for introducing
the child into many branches of knowl-
edge, for the reason that, by means of
outings, the pupil may be brought in
direct contact with various phases of
nature and the works of man. And in
deed the locality is exceptionally unfa-

may not be found for instructing the
child in geography, history and the
natural sciences.
In Germany this broad study Of the
environment is recognized as distinct
branch of knowledge, known as die
heimathskunde (homeology), and as
such is included in the curriculum of
the first three years Of the elementary
schools. DIR. j. M. Rice in Forum.

An Effort in Chancery to Upset an
Executors Account.
Chancellor Wolcott presided at Joint
session of orphans and chancery court
last Monday. Chief Justice Lore was
present on the bench. In the orphans
court the Security Trust and Safe De-
post Co. was appointed guardian of
Robert g., Lucy NJ, William b. and
Albert G. Draper; Benjamin Nields, at
torney for Allen L. Sharpe, presented
petition asking for summons to issue for
Daniel II. Kent and Joseph Sharpe in
relation to recognizance in the orphans
court. In the court of chancery the re-
turn of the commissioners to make par
titinn of estate Of Sarah Bartholomew
was confirmed. Saran 4. Eliason,
guardian of Henry D. Eliason, was
granted permission 10 expend certain
sum of the principal of the estate. E.
d. Tumlin took exceptions to the ac-
counts of Alexander Baxter, executor
of Mitchell Evans. William S. Prickett
appeared for exception and ]. Frank
Bigss for executor.
The case of L. D. Tumlin VS.. Alex
ander Baxter@was continued in the
afternoon before the Chancellor. Mr..
Baxter is executor for the estate of
Mitchell Groves. William S. Pr;ckett,
counsel for Tumlin, showed that the
executor took. part of the estate for
Groves board while the latter did work
and labor of various kinds on the farm
for Baxter, with whom he lived. Argu.
ment was made to show that this LABOR
should have been sufficient of an offset
to pay for the board. DR.. j. J. Black of
New Castle testified that Groves suffered
from tumor and that he could not do
the work of an ordinary farm hand. If
lie exerted himself he would collapse
and would be left unable to work for
several days. Henry D. White, whose
farm adjoins that of Baxter, often saw
Groves ut work. He was of the opinion
that the man almost earned his board
Edward Hance gave evidence that the
man was dirty in his habits and gave
trouble. Mrs. Baxter testified that she
nurseG Groves and that he did not pay
for his board or for his clothes. On
account OF his delicate condition the
witness had to prepare special food for
him. She produced a bill for $46S for
board and $36 for funeral expenses.
Executor Baxter was called to the
stand BY j. Frank Biggs. He testified
as to the trouble given by the deceased
ON account of his sick condition. 1t
was alleged that Groves gave Baxter
receipt for $50 on account of mort
gage and that Baxter did not give him
the money nor did he credit his board
bill with the amount. The case will be
continued next week.
