Old Families.

The most ancient family in France,
in so far as the tracing back of the an
cestry in an unbroken line is concerned,
is the royal house of Bourbon, which
goes back to Robert lie Fort, in the
year SCI. Next in point of antiquity
comes the Rohan family, which for the
last century, however, has been set
tied in Austria, the so-called Rohans
in France being not really Rohans,
but merely Chabots, their only con-
nection with the house of Rohan being
by marriage. Then comes the house
of Narbonne-Pelet, the head of which
is the Due de Narbonne, who can trace
his lineage back without interruption
to the year 910. OF course, in making
this assertion L do not take into con-
sideration the somewhat mythical
claim of the duke of Lewis Mirepoix to
be descended in direct and unbrolen
line from Jacobs son, Levi. He has
among his family pictures one old
painting in which the Holy Virgin is
represented as requesting the former
duke of Levis-Mirepoix to put on his
hat, which he had dotted in salutation,
she being depicted as uttering the
words: "Couvrez vous, mon cousin"
Another picture represents an ancestor
of the dukes of Lewis Mirepoix navi-
eating small boat on the waters of
the deluge, he being too exclusive and
high-toned to share the ark with the
Noah family and its belongings.

Wild Ducks.

The breeding places of the Chesa-
peake ducks are in Canada, where they
are being destroyed in vast numbers
by the cutting away of the forests
which shelter the lakes and pools
where they harbor, and by the use and
sale of their eggs. Thousands of these
eggs are annually marketed, and by
these methods, rather than by num-
bers actually shot, they have been
greatly diminished. This condition of
things seems to be beyond remedy,
since a state can not make treaty
with foreign power; and the general
government is not likely to interfere
on behalf of what is practically a
Maryland industry, or to provide such
compensation as Canada might see fit
to ask if a proposal were made to her
to protect the ducks in their native
habitat. So the prospect Is that fifty
years will sec the determination of the
finest wild fowl in the world, and one

PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

Mr.. Frank Stouch, of Reading, Pa.
although in his 87tb year, still teaches
dancing, and Is said to be as active as
vigorous man of So During hislong
career as a dancing master he has had
$4,000 pupils.
"A king who objects to music is
King George of Greece, whose pet
aversion is the national hymn of the
country over which he reigns. No
matter where the unfortunate man
goes, either at home or abroad, he is
compelled to listen to the strains of this
melody, which is invariably struck up
in his honor.
The eminent French author, M.
Anatole Leroy Beaulieu, once made a
remark which may be instructive at
this time. "The character" he said,
lis what changes the least in a race.
Among the French of the Third repub-
lie, one can yet find characteristic
traces of the Gauls of the time of We
reingetorix."
Mime. Casimir-Perier, wife of the
now ex-president of the French re-
public, has organized a crusade against
the use of birds and wings for decora-
tive purposes, and movement thus au-
thorized is likely to be attended with
success. If Paris gives the word, of
course, England and America will
abandon this barbarous custom; other
wise these countries may find a plague
descending upon them rivaling those
of Europe.

on this task, and pretty hard years Of
daily labor. The education which en-
abled me to attempt it was very cost
ly one, and the abilities which quail
fed me for it, though not first-rate,

which implied an expensive education
and unusual cast Of intellect. The pay

WONDERFUL GRAND CANYON.
Moro Impressive Than NiaEars, More
Beautiful Than the Alps.

4
There are many wonders within the
limits of the Yellowstone park, but of
them all there is nothing so wonderful
rs the Grand canyon of the Yellow
! stone river. One can at no season of
! the year view this tremendous gorge
without sense of awe at the work of
| the Titanic elemental forces which
! have followed it out of the enduring
! granite of the hills. There Is an inn
preston of unspeakable solemnity con-
veyed by this giant spectacle, and no
American looks upon it without a
sense of absolute humility and insig-
nifcance. The thought, the meaning,
the expression of the Grand canyon is
something the human mind is unable
at first to grasp. There is no coup
d'oeil possible there; there is no definite
thought resultant upon any single
glance at the Grand canyon, no matter
how comprehensive or how perspective
that may be.
The Grand canyon refuses to be COM
passed at glance. 1t demands faith
full, humble study. More impressive
than Niagara, more mighty than the
offers to the visitor an enigma capable
of solution only after long and rever-
ent acquaintance. To attempt to see
the Grand canyon in an hour or day
is ridiculous. To attempt to see it as
one of crowd is wrong to ones best
self. To study it hour after hour, to
drink in with undated zest the same
view time after time, day after day, to
see the mountain lights and shades,
give thousand different expressions
to the face of mature, and to learn
some new feature even at the last visit
to some familiar point Of view-these
are othe things which make the
visitor and observer at first curl
Gus, then wondering, and then,
we may almost say, worshipful.
Not even the most blase world
trotter has ever been heard to express
disappointment with the Grand canyon
OF the Yellowstone, and it is singular
to notice the universally respectful
and subdued comment upon it by even
the most casual and flippant visitor.
There have been very few persons
who have seen the canyon in winter
time, and it may be well believed we
made the most of our rare privilege.
1t was risky work approaching the
great walls on the skis, but we man
aged to get to different points COM
handing full view of the main portion
of the canyon and of both the Great
falls and Upper falls of the Yellow
stone. The Great falls were encased
in vast white columns OF ice on each
side, and from them arose noble pill
lar of dense white vapor. Never again
shall we sec a more remarkable sight
than that thus presented to us on that
clear winter morning Philadelphia
