She Priced Things.

A lady in bug.Cd cape and a love of a bonnet went into State street silver smiths saturday and drifted into a strange department. Pointing into a showcase, she said, Flow much is that silver pie knife with the ivory handle:'
 That Is uUt q pie knife, ' answered the clerk That Is q trowel used to lay the cornerstone of building. It puts on the last trowelful of mortar and is given to the one who uses it. "
 Well, it would be a pic knife if my husband got it, replied the customer
 After awhile she continued, How much is that beautiful silver basin:'
 That" said the clerk mildly, lis not basin it is baSon-an aims ba- son. " Then he explained that q basin was used for water, whereas a basOn was used to receive money offerings i'll an Episcopal church. Then as the wom an drifted toward the realm of souvenir spoons the clerk looked at tho hall clock man.
 She came back again. and pointing to brass lecturn wanted to know how much that music stand might be and whether it was not strange to have such things in jewelry store.
 This is not really jewelry store, :" continued the clork affably. You see this is a goldsmith $, but there is little | distinction of tho terms in tho west. We have jewelry department down that way. This is tho ecclesiastical depart ment :"
 Well, 1 declare!" said the lady. whose shopping instinct was now real ly aroused. How much would that cost, now?"
 The pained clerk had to set price osl q pocket pyx, get out the cruet, chalice, paten and ciborium, get out an cilstock, make an estimate on the lunette and monstrance and exhibit an SIS font.
 When it was all over. the woman cast one lingering look at the pic knife and asked which way Monroe street vas Chicago News.

 The lane which had followed to that l point had no fence on either side, nor was there any surrounding the house. which, as 1 have stated, stood among a | group of trees, some of which must have been 100 years old. The avenue ended among these, though the way was open along the side of the dwelling tc the barn and other buildings at the rear.
 Some of the facts which I give, it will be understood, were learned after ward. The house was very old one, made of stone, with q broad piazza along the front, and had been ill the | possession of ono family from q few gears subsequent to the Revolution.
 A man was walking back and forth on the porch, as if in deep meditation. i l could follow his progress by the sound of his feet, by the glow of his cigar and by the dim outlines of his figure as he | passed in front of the two windows of 1 the large room, ill which light was burning. The windows, however, were Curtained so pfTcCtually that not a | glimpse could be obtained of the in- tcrior.

 INVITE CONSULATE
 No question with which the First Consul had now to deal was more i'm portant than that of religion. France in process of restoration must have a faith. In the whirlwind of revolution, the old religious institutions of the people had been abolished. As to me, NJ. le Prcsi- dent" said Naigeon in the Convention one day, II am free to ayow myself an atheist. " Procureur Chaumette had had his placard put over the gates of Rll graveyards thus, Here is an eternal sleep" Atheism had been formally pro- claimed. In the general anarchy the Mother Church had been destr, Jed Among the masses, however, religious beliefs and hopes were not extinguished; even RobeSpierre had had his ridiculous Feast of tho Etre Supreme! Napoleon we'll calculated that rcviving France must have new religion; and what should tho new be but the old?
 No sooner was the new government established than tho First Consul put out his hand with overtures to Rome. He proposed to Plus VII. a settlement of the religious status of the French. Tho celebrated Concordat, of the 10th of July, 1891, hy which the Roman Cath ollie religion was restored i'll France was tho result. The secular pacification by the treaty of Luneville was followed hard after by the conciliation of Rome. The essence of the agreement was that the new biShops-to be nominated by the First Consul and confirmed by tho Pope-should swear allegiance to tho Republic.
 Nothing could surpass the activity of Napoleon in tho first year of the Consu- late. The energy displayed by the gov ernmont was astounding. Everything was ill process of reorganization. True, the ancient regime was extinct. True,
