BASllICA OF PARIS.
little Has Been Heard of Late About the
Progress of Construction.

Little mas been heard of late about the
progress of the construction of the Mont
martre HILL known as the Basilica of
the Sacre CGur, says the London Daily
Telegraph The vast mass of masonry
glistcns in the sun, which this after
noon was summcr-lille i'm its intensity.
The Basilica dominates the metropolis
of France by its towering height. 1t
may bc seen from various points along
the boulevarlo, but hardly one Partisan
in hundred seems To take any interest
i'm its existence.
Pilgrims and religious people gen
orally flock To- it rs the sacred landmark
of the Mount of Martyrs, hut the ordi-
nary citizen does not trouble about il.
lie is content 10 know that il l. being
built and that il will bc finished some
time before the day of general judy
ment, like the Opera COmique. which is
also slowly rising ON its former site.
The building of the BaSilica has now
been 80 long in progress that it would
be almost a relief 70 hear that those
who are organizing its construction had
determined TO take the scafTolding
away and To let the church stand as an
incomplete specimen of ecclesiastical
architecture, like the Cathedral of Col
Opuc.
II is useless 20 tell Parisians, as they
are informed to-day after long spell
of silence. that the works of the Bias
ilta are being pushed forward with
activity, and that 800 men are engaged
in putting the big dome in position 1t
was supposed that the dome in ques-
ton would be ready last week, but now
il IS stated that it win require many
months 20 complete il. The belfry will
not be ready until the year 1896. The
committee. down to July of last year,
had received 27,594.OOO francs. or 81
1913, 100 The subscription list was
opened in July, 1873, but in spite of the
large sum collected since that year,
further appeals viii have To bc made TO
the faithful before they can hope 70 see
the ch urch even near completion.

ALL LOVE a WIDOW.
Let Her lie Young and Pretty and the
World Is Hers


IF | were "A wOman-a Young WOm-
ant would be my first ambition to be
a widow, said young man 10 the At
lanta Constitution man.
II was in big store one morning
and a pretty widow came in. She wore
becoming black and high and wide
Gainsborough hat. The clerks rushed
over one another 20 wait ON her.
a little, insignificant looking fellow
with thin, sandy mustache and light
hair was the lucky man. She gave him
a smile that fairly made his head swim.
The other clerks were simply con-
sumed with jealousy.
"She wanted TO look at some dress
stuff and She toyed with it daintily.
She paid more attention to the little
clerk than 20 the goods.
she looked at every piece in the
store and consumed three-quarters OF
an hour of the little fellows time. In
the meantime a number of men came in
and attempted 10 lounge around where
they could get good view of her.
Finally she bought one of the cost
lest pieces in the house and the clerk
was SO agitated he made three mistakes
in fixing the check.
That was not all. She had com
pletely demoralized the whole store.
The clerks had eyes for nothing but
her.
And il was all because She was a
widow and wore black. There's an oc-
cult fascination about widows that |
could never fully understand.

MASS FOR HOMER.
The Cure CIeverIy Turned the Tables OF
HIS Jokers.


BY order of the archbishop of Paris a
requiem mass in the nature of cere-
mony of PREPARATION was celebrated
lately. 1t was fitting that this should
take place at st. Eustache, where the
coffin of Moliere should have been
taken after his death, as that was his
parish. The artists of the Comedie
Franchise, the Odeon and the Opera
were present.
The day following the Moliere mass,
two young testers fresh from the boule-
wards presented themselves gravely at
the sacristy of one # the largest
churches and asked 10 see the cure. lie
gave them audience.
I'VE desire. said the holder of the
pair, ito have a mass said for the re-
pose of the soul Of Homer"

cure. without SO much as the lifting of
