Financial Affairs of France.

The financial speech of the ex-Prime
Minister M. Loubet, in the senate, is to
be posted, by order of that house, all
over France. There are some statements
in it worthy of consideration. Thus, the
national debt is set down at 81 200, 000,
900. It also appears that the difficulty Of
making both ends meet has greatly in
creased since M. Meline secured the tri-
umph of his system The court Of audits
has discovered eli Irregularities i'll the
last budgetary account of money paid.
By irregularities it means embezzle
ments, set down under the head Of "vire-
ments. -
Among them figures the $500 spent
on behalf of minister for "cabs,
and g640 month for little ode
ieuners'' at Voisin S, where a min
lister of justice entertained his friends.
The "virenlents" at the home Office are
set down at $3.50, those of the war Of
fee at 81, $50, those of the colonial office
at e2, 900, those Of the public works Of
fee at e2, 1916. When M. de Freycinet
was war minister, the "virements" Of
his department amounted to about &c.
900 year. He, as minister of public
works and war, swelled the national
debt more than any one else in power
since Theirs retirement. The redeem
able loans were an expedient of M. de
Freycinet to give employment to the
public works department.

A Daring Forgery.

A neat forgery was recently commit
ted by Partisan criminal, one Alt
mayer, which in it's adroitness and au-.
dacity was worthy of Jim the Pen
man" himself.
The accused had lately had several
hearings at the Palais de Justice before
M. Villiers, JUICE d'instruction. Several
times during these hearings M. Villiers
was summoned from the room for few
minutes at a time
During one of these absences the cul-
prit contrived' to get possession OF a
sheet Of paper and an envelope with
official printed heading, and also to affix
the official seal Then he drew up at his
leisure a document ordering his own
immediate release, counterfeiting with
rare skill the judges signature.
On quitting the court one day he
handed the letter thus prepared to the
sentinel stationed i'll the corridor and re-
marked in an offhand manner, "The
judge wants you to carry this letter i'm
mediately to the director of the Mazas
prison. The soldier, suspecting moth
ing, look the letter ana accompanied
The prisoner to Mazas A few minutes
Later Altlnayer was summoned to the
directors office and was informed that
he was a free man.
With an outburst Of simulated joy and
surprise he at once took his departure,
and as the fraud was not discovered un-
til the following day he had plenty Of
time to get beyond the reach of the
clutches of French justice.

HALF A CENTURY AGO.
Philadelphia Gentlemen Drank In a W
to Astonish Their Descendants.

Philadelphia Gentlemen Drank In a Way
to Astonish Their Descendants.
Among Americans up to 1855 the use
and abuse of st1ong drink were almost
universal, but it certainly affected their
health less injuriously than at the pres
ent time The worry and strain Of mod
ern business and social life shatter
nerves now and lead to Cram drinking
to repair them. On the contrary, most
of the excuses in the old times came
after a solid dinner, and three or four
hours were spent in rest and convivial-
ity, but the amount drank was enor-
nous. When the exchange was COM
pleted, in 1882, a dinner was given, and
there was some apprehension that the
wine would run out, and well known
broker on the committee expressed his
surprise, as the company had not aver
aged more than three bottles apiece.
This would be Thought a very large al
lowance Of strong Madeira in these
times.
In 1853 the final audit of the accounts
of the United States bark was complet-
ed, and on behalf of the government
James A. Bayard of Delaware, John
M. Mason and Kentucky gentleman
named Dukes appeared. 1t was mere
formality, as the matter had been settled
ten years before. John Young acted as
clerk. The party met in the northwest
chamber Of the bank building-now the
custom house-at II o'clock A bottle
| of brandy and six Of Madeira were Oh
| the table, and after short inspection
of papers the wine was opened, and by
O'Clock was drank. The day was
warm, and bowl of bishop was order
ed, and this was made by the servant
with the brandy and flask Of Curacao.
This was drank, and the three COM
mitteemen went to dinewith Charles j.
Ingersoll about 5 o. clock. They returned,
| bringing a friend. A dozen Madeira
were at hand, and smoking, drinking
and whist were in order until IL, when
the last bottle was drank, and then
Prosser, the cook, brought in cold ducks
and mighty lobster salad. A gallon
bowl of brandy punch was made as con-
ducive to digestion. A tumbler Of this
finished the clerk, who went to sleep
and was aroused at daybreak to drink a
cup of coffee, and then all went down
the steps and walked away in the fresh
morning air, none the worse in appear
ance from the nights rotations.
It is apparent that in a life like this
it was the survival of the fittest. The
steady ones carried off the honors, but
govt, gravel and d1opsy played havoc
with the others, and these complaints
were charged to port and Madeira by the
doctors, and SO the habit Of drinking
claret and light wines came into fashion.
Gambling was almost universal, and
many fortunes Of old Philadelphians dis
appeared in this Philadelphia

Certainly, there are conditions that
must be complied with. I am positive,
and you are negative, but you are
very difficult subject because you are re-
sisting me with all your might.
Mrs Darl looked reproachfully at her
husband and said in the dumb alphabet
of the married, "You have told him.
He flashed back i'll the same language,
az have not, and she moved i'll accord
ance with the wish Of the professor and
sat with her back to the light. Some of
the company were removed to remote
parts of the room, but a few, including
Mr.. Darl, stood near.
"Look into my eyes, said the pro-
fessor. Permit me. . And he took her
hands and pressed the thumbs gently.
cit is like being in dentists chair, "
said Mrs. Darl, with little forced
laugh. Then she attempted to rise,
struggling slightly, but continued to
look into the eyes Of the hypnotizer I'M
til in the place of two eyes she saw 20.
Then she asserted her will and shook
herself free.
Observation-Disclosures be-
hypnotized, she said. Her voice sound
ed strange and far away. "How queer I
feel! Staring SO long has made me
dizzy"
''Drink this,'' said Mr.. Darl, giving
his wife glass Of water.
She drank it, then rose to her feet
and said she felt as well as ever.
"Where is the professor" she asked.
81 expect he has lost faith in his sci
ence.'
'sHe was here moment ago." said
her cousin Fanny anxiously. "He
thought he had succeeded in hypnotic
ing you, Leona. Were you not uncon-
scious?"
''Not for one moment" said Mrs.
Darl triumphantly. "He held my
thumbs until they were numb-why!
where !-Ned!"
"What is it, Leona?' he asked in sur
prise at her peculiar tone.
"Where are my diamonds?"
There was startled exclamation from
every one present. Mrs. Darl stood there
bereft of every jewel she possessed. Not
Single one VI ueT gems WHICH udu Adsu-
ed on her fingers, at her throat, in her
ears, was now visible. Dazed, she held
up her ringless hands and said:
els this joke: What does it mean?
Where are my diamonds?''
"Where is the professor?"
"Search the house"
"Send for the police!'
But the professor had left for parts
unknown, and with him went Mrs.
Darl's diamonds, and neither the police
nor the Darls ever saw or heard of them
Or him again. But one thing was in his
favor. Not only had he successfully hyp-
Noticed Mrs. Darl, but, as Mr.. Darl adj
mitted, he must have hypnotized the
whole company in order to bring his
hypnotic scheme to such a climax.
And Mrs. Darl is at last a convert to
both the theory and practice of the oc-
cult science and a firm believer in the
power Of the hypnotic WILKINS. M.

Some Points About Wills.

Do you know that you cannot will
away your body; that clause in your
will giving your body after death to any
person OF institution is not legally bind
ing? Your executors cannot be forced to
carry out your wishes, though they may
do SO through Difference to your ex-
pressed preferences. 1t is also important
to remember that three witnesses are
needed in deyising real estate instead of
two, as in bequeathing personal property.
"When a woman will, she will, de-
pend on !" says the proverb. But there
are SO many sharp turns and short
curves in the course of the law that
though woman wills to will what she
will, how she will in nine cases out of
ten she cannot make her will SO that she
wills what she Will as she wills to will.

WHO SETS THE FAsHIoNsl
Evidence That the Royal Ladies of En-
land Do Sometimes.

Evidence That the Royal Ladies OF Eng
land Do Sometimes.
The late Mr.. Worth, the Partisan king
Of dressmakers, once said that it fire.
quently took him as long as three years
to educate the public up to one Of his
fashions, and to have it adopted. He of
course has set great many fashions III
his time, but the dressmakers are not re-
sponsible for most of the changes that
take place.
1t is simpler thing for man like
the Prince of Wales, who is generally
admitted to be the best dressed gentle
man in Europe, to change fashion III
mems clothing than it is for lady in
society to change the fashion of the time,
Or to bring in a new one. But any OF the
recognized fashion leaders, such as the
Duchess of Sutherland, the Countess Of
Dudley, Lady Brooke, the Countess Gros-
venor or Mrs. CORVALLIS West, can, II
they persist long enough, bring in
fashion which will soon become general
~ popular.
For instance. the Duchess Of Portland,
after her marriage, had strong inclina-
tion for Malmaison carnations as button
holes, and wore them on every possible
occasion. Before that time they were
not much sought after, but very soon all
the florists in Bond street and Regent
street had great display of them i'll
their windows.
The Princess Of Wales is not fashion
setter, but is one Of those most sensible
ladies who favor comfortable costumes
and tailor made gowns, and who does
not run to the extreme modes. She
dresses, however, with excellent taste.
Another matter in which the royal
family are very conservative is theway in
which they wear their hair. At the time
when the tbun chignon" came in not
one of the young princesses adopted it,
although it was extremely fashionable.
Curled fringes, as is we'll known, are
very popular with the royal family.
Sometimes the fashions are introduced
quite by chance. A few years ago, when
well known beauty was married to
young nobleman, the bride decreed that
her bridesmaids should wear dark velvet
hats with ostrich feathers. At first ev-
cry one was very much surprised, but
the idea caught on, and during 1892 at
two thirds Of the fashionable weddings
dark velvet hats were worn with light
dresses. Pittsburg Dispatch.

SMASHED HIS BAGGAGE.
And Then the Man Who Owned the Trunk

And Then the Man Who Owned the Trunk
Had Something to Say.
"It's queer how people stand it, " said
the man with the baggy trousers as the
hotel baggage wagon came up from the
depot and passed the window.
sStand what particular thing?" was
asked.
Permitting the railroad companies
to smash their trunks as they do. There
are two on that load which will have to
go to the shop for repairs, and the own
ers will foot the bill and not say
word -
"Well, isn't that your way?"
"No, sir, and it hasn't been for a
good many years. Last spring baggage
man threw my trunk off his wagon in
front of Boston hotel and busted it. He
drove off singing as I stood looking at
the wreck. Half an hour later walked
in on him at the depot and said:
"sI want SO Of you.
