a BALL AT THE ELYsEE.


Now the Plain Dress OF Our minister There
Distinguishes Him.
A modern ball at the palace of the
Elysee, in Paris, where the presiferst III
France lives, is an extraordinarily bril-
liant and picturesque sight, for. besides
the military trappings and gold braid OF
the army officers and the exquisite, del

fures of the Frenchwomen, there are the
varied "habits" Of the many members
of the diplomatic corps. These uniforms
alone are sufficient to furnish brilliant
mass of color and elaborate display.
Described in detail and according to
their nations, they are these:
France. "A coat Of dark blue, en-

His Thirst Was Very Precious.

Some years ago while travelling from
Kansas City to st. Louis the seat in
front Of me was occupied by typical
cattleman and man who looked like an
eastern clergyman. The western man, a
whole souled, genial fellow, after tell
ing his companion all about his western
ranch and about the business which call
ed him to Chicago, reached down in his
grip and drew forth bottle of generous
proportions
''Pardner," said he, "there's the best
liquor west of Kansas City. Throw a
hooker into you and give me your opin-
ion. I"
The clerical looking man, though ter
ribly shocked, managed to say, Friend,
I have not drunk for 40 years. -
The Texan jumped from his seat and
exclaimed: "Great guns! I would give
$1,000 for your thirst. Chicago

WELLINGTON WAS WARNED.
A Design Which Might Have Materiall
Affected the Destiny of Europe.

A Design Which Might Have Materially
Anected the Destiny Of Europe.
The story goes that Wellington used
to ride over daily, with one or two of
his staff, from his headquarters at st.
Jean de Luz, and take his stand on the
top of wooded sand hillock, called
Blanc Pignon, ON the left bank of the
Adour, which commands view of both
banks and the town itself two miles up
stream. This had been noticed by the
French, who had still command of the
river and the opposite shore, and the
jealous sailor aforesaid, Bourgeois by
name, conceived the plan of entrapping
the great English captain by lying in
ambush for him, with q few men,
among the underground on the sand
dune, which happened to be on neutral
ground just outside the line Of French
pickets.
General Thouvenot very honorably de-
clined to sanction this tricky proceeding,
but, seeing through his glasses from the
clock tower of the cathedral in Bayonne
that it was actually being carried out,
notwithstanding his disapproval, he sent
mounted orderly, as fast as he could
gallop, down the road on the left bank
of the river (the present site Of the Al
lees Marines) past the French pickets,
to warn Wellington of his danger. The
message was just in time. When within
a short distance of the ambush, awaiting
him on the narrow little track winding
up the sand dune, he turned his horse
and moved quietly off in another direc-
| ton.
| So says the story, which, entirely be-
ieved by the French, is placed ON record
by Morel, declared in a footnote to be
correct, and then (1846) within the
memory of living witnesses. We can en-.
tirely agree with the author in his sue.

BOONE AND THE INDIANS.
The Old Kentucky Hunter Was Prisoner
In Their Hands For Months.

The Old Kentucky Hunter Was . Prisoner
In Their Hands For Months.
Boone frequently took to the field on
set expeditions against the savages
Once when he and party of other men
were making salt at a lick, they were
surprised and carried off by the Indians.
The old hunter was prisoner with them
for some months, but finally made his
escape and came home through the track
less woods as straight as the wild pigeon
flies. He was ever on the watch to ward
off the Indian inroads and to follow the
war parties and try to rescue the pris-
onerS.
Once his own daughter and two other
girls who were with her were carried
off by band Of Indians Boone collected
some friends and followed them steadily
for two days and a night. Then they
came to where the Indians had killed a
buffalo calf and were camped. Firing
from little distance, they shot two In
dams, and rushing in rescued the girls
On another occasion, when Boone had
gone to visit salt lick with his brother,
the Indians ambushed them and shot the
latter. Boone himself escaped, but the
Indians followed him for three miles by
the aid Of tracking dog, until Boone
turned, shot the dog and then eluded his
pursuers. In company with Simon Ken
ton and many of the noted hunters and
wilderness warriors he once and again
took part in perilous expeditions into
the Indian country. Twice bands of In
dams, accompanied by French, Tory
and British partisans from Detroit, bear
ing the flag of Great Britain, attacked
Boonesboro In each case Boone and his
fellow settlers beat them off with loss.
At the fatal battle of tho Blue Licks,
in which 200 of the best rifemen OF
Kentucky were beaten with terrible
slaughter by great force Of Indians
from the lakes, Boone commanded the
left wing. Leading his men, rifle in
hand, he pushed back and overthrew
the force against him. But meanwhile
the Indians destroyed the right wing
and center and got in the rear, so that
there was nothing for Boone's men ex
cept to fee with all speed Theodore

How the Dingy Dwelling Places Are Con-

The mud cabin in Ireland consists Of
two rooms and possibly small semide-
tached clubhouse which is used as store
room for perishable articles There is
mot chink in the walls or thatch save q
marrow chimney, which seldom If ever
answers its. purpose The doorway faces
the east and emits the smoke. What lit
tie light penetrates inside through the
tiny window discloses the deep choco-
late stain from the eternal turf reek
which pervades the atmosphere Of the
interior, and literally paints walls, roof
and furniture uniform color. The fur
niture is rough and also scanty, few
stools atoning. for the occasional COM
plete absence of chairs.
The mud floor is always more or less
wet from the patter of the children S
bare feet or from the animals which
have free access to the house. At night
there is a goodly company within the
walls Of this spacious mansion. In the
inside room there are two or three box
beds or berths, where the children sleep,
according to their age and sex. From
8 to IL is not an uncommon number
in a family. In the state berth in the
calliogh, or recess at the side Of the
hearth, the father and mother repose un-
screened from the live stock Of the farm
and breathe the same atmosphere as some
eight quadrupeds besides the poultry.
Pigs, cattle, dogs, cats, and probably a
horse or donkey, have their bed space re-
spectively, and jealousy resent any en-
croachment by bedfellow.

Met by Chance.

An amusing story is told Of Robert
Franz, the famous German song writer,
and another equally celebrated compos-
er. The incident occurred soon after
the publication Of Franz's famous
"Open Letter to Edward Hansick, +" in
which he made severe criticism upon
some musical work Of the composer,
Johannes Brahms.
Franz had occasion at that time to
take five or six hours trip by rail In
the compartment with him was little
man with whom he fell into converse
ton. The fellow travellers found each
other delightful and whiled the hours
away in agreeable talk, which did not
turn upon music.
When the train reached Franz's des-
tination, he took out his card case, say
ing to his companion:
"You have made me pass most de-
lightful afternoon. Allow me to give
you my card
The stranger seemed highly gratified
and offered Franz his card in return.
Each looked at the bit Of pasteboard he
had received in amazement The stran-
gers eyes opened wide at reading the
name of his merciless critic. "Dr. Rob
I ert Franz" while Franz himself was
!, equally astounded at reading on the card
in his hand, Johannes Brahms.
There was no time for mutual expla-
nations, but each Of the musicians had
discovered that, however their ideas
might differ from musical standpoint
they were at least admirable travelling
companions and had found much to en-
ioy in each other.-Youth' g Companion.

Does the Eve Sec?

The question asked in the headline
may sound odd to you if you have never
taken the trouble to give the subject
serious thought, but venture the broad
statement that you are not able to an
swer the question "offhand. " 1t is an
admitted fact, must confess, chat the
eye is the "organ Of vision, yet there
is but little doubt, even in the minds Of
opticians and Psychologists, that the
phenomena of seeing is. chiefly men
tain other words, that it is the mind
and not the eye that "sees. How often
have you seen friend who seemingly
was engaged in looking intently at
some object on the table, at the opposite
side Of the room or at some picture, who
ON being aroused from his day dream
would confess that he was looking at
nothing in particular. The explana-
ton of the fact that he saw nothing in
particular is plain enough if properly
set forth. It is because his mind was
busy with other times and scenes.
Faces, bits Of wayside scenery, etc. +,
were being presented to view in the
panorama of the mind, and the "mind' s
eye''-or mental vision-was engaged
in eagerly scanning pictures Of impress
sions made thereon months, years or
scores of years before. Another test of
this mind vision theory is to shut your
eyes tightly and then ply the brain to
the task of recalling faces and forms
that have not been seen by the eye for
years And, again, if you want to know
whether your companion looked at his
watch with his brain or his eyes, ask
him the time Of day after he puts the
timepiece in his pocket. st. Louis Re.

his orders sufficient number of graves
