The widow OF ootare Feuilleh.

Valerie Feuillet had been brought up
q ROyalist ia the provinces by her moth
er, Nine. Dubois, who belonged to the
most prejudiced ancient regime, and
there are pretty anecdotes of little Vale
rie's childhood, when she was hidden
to kiss a lock Of blond hair belonging to
King Henry Y, who was to be king only
in exile, and when her pretty, dainty,
frail mother, going to some ball in q
sedan chair, took Valerie with her as
far as the threshold of the fete and then
sent her home to the old Norman house
where the little girl had first seen the
light, writes eth. Bentzon' (Mme
Blanc) in The Ladies' Home Journal.
The mother of Nine. Feuillet was
own niece to a heroine of the revolu-
ton, Mile. de Ste. Suzanne, who saved
her father from the guillotine by going
alone on horseback into the midst Of the
battlefield to ask the condemned mans
pardon Of General Hoche M. and Nine
Dubois lived sometimes at their chateau
of GrecWur, sometimes in the little city
Of St. Lo, the ultra provincial society of
which is described by the author of the
Memoirs with extraordinary spirit.
1t is very easy to find in these portraits
the types which inspired her husband
with the delightful 'fStory of Sibylle''
and with the provincial scenes of Goa
mors. In fact, there was always be-
tween them kind of involuntary col

Where Curfew Rings Toniel,t.

After years Of disuse the curfew bell
is again ringing. It's peaceful clangor
rises in many village like a fireside
hymn It is the angelus of the home,
calling the people from labor and pleas
ure back 20 the household. The revival
Of the custom may seem like u return
to Puritan simplicity, but its beneicent
results can hardly be questioned.
Twenty towns in Minnesota have al
ready adopted the curfew ordinance. It
provides that young people under 16
years Of age who are found on the streets
after the ringing of the curfew are sub
ject to arrest. The first offense is pun
iShed with fine, the second with i'm
prisonment and the third with both.
While the ordinance has not been long
enough in operation to definitely deter
mine its results, yet it has been proved
practicable, and the towns that have
tried it seem satisfied with it. The
warning bell, at 10 o clock, sends youth
full stragglers where all young people
should be at that hour. There can be nc
legitimate excuse for children being
without the guarded walls of home
when traitOrous night threatens danger
The curfew ordinance serves the best
interest of parents and children and the
community at large. Other towns would
do we'll to follow the example of these
20 enterprising places. Minneapolis

Caught by a Clam.

We were shown a most interesting
thing in the way of a curiosity day or
two ago by DR.. G. B. Whitfield, same
being the leg of a bird firmly held in
the shell of mussel The history of the
curiosity is as follows: DR.. Whitfield
was riding to his plantation, and as he
passed a pond near the road he heard
the cries of a bird. The sound was so
plaintive that the doctor got down from
his horse, and walking to the pond saw
kingfisher Hopping about desperately
and making every effort to fly, but be-
ing unable to do so on account of a
weight attached to his feet. His curiosity
being excited by this strange sight, the
doctor walked to the bird, and picking
him up discovered that his foot was held
firmly within the shell Of musseL Dr.
Whitfield at first thought of bringing
the bird to town to exhibit, but as it
appeared to suffer SO much he cut it's
leg off and turned it loose, bringing in
stead the shell and the leg.-Demopolis

Reversible Names.

d. o. Marshall, writing from Glou-
cester, Mass, to the New York Sun, says
My attention was called to recent clip
ping from The Sun in which the pecul-
iarity of the name of the Rev. Philip S.
Moxom, D. D., was noted. In the town
of Rockport, Mass, there lived few
years ago at the same time grandfather,
son and grandson, and the name was the
same in each case-Esrom Morse. You
will notice that it reads the same from
left to right and backward, and that the
first IS the family name transposed. 1t
is certainly unique in its construction
and can be arranged in two crosses,
which is one better than Moxom. The IA
ther and son bearing the name are still
living.

Good Guessing by Pilots.

Along the villa decked waterway trav-
eled by the Providence boats when they
are nearing that city are nearly 900
summer places where the people burn
red fire and colored lights whenever one
of the big sound boats passes on its way
to the sound and New York. The pilots
are SO proud of this fattering attention
that they blow an Il thank YOU and a

interesting thing that these pilots, do is
to practice the science Of locating their
position in the water no matter how
foggy or pitch black the night may be-
They do this by calculating the revolu-
tions of the paddles, and they become so
adept that when they say to a passen-
ger, Sin two minutes you will see such

they can actually make such predictions

The cause of badness in man is
said by DIR. Leslie Phillips to be the
fact that he cuts his hair. He says:
"In men the hair is habitually cut
short from childhood, while in women
the converse is almost universally
true. In boyhood and manhood, by
clipping or cutting the hair, we re-
move the gentle traction on the bulb
and follice which the natural weight
of the hair exercises, and which con-
stitutes the essential and natural sUim-
illus necessary to secure due inner
walton and vascular supply to the
hair producing structures. Loss of
vigor, and finally more or less pro-
nounced atrophy, is the memorable
result, modified or delayed, it may be
by collateral circumstances, predis-
positions, or conditions. DIR. Phillips
warns the "new woman" against
wearing her hair short. Almost
every theory has some defect, and
we might ask DIR. Phillips why men
who clip their beard or shave for
long time do not get bald on their
chins?

TONGUE CUSTOMS

Fashions of the tongue and other
vocal organs come and go, the same
as in other matters. Some of them
are important, some are home made.
If a wealthy and stylish lady in a
moderately small town happens to be
afflicted with slight lisp, you will
soon notice the same popularity in a
portion of her lady admirers. If a
distinguished political speaker pro-
nounces a word with novel accent.
the new departure will go home with
some of the audience, and may have
it's effect on the community.
The funny little upward infection
which some children conclude an in
direct question, and which was un-
known till Within a few years, no
doubt came from England. Also, per-
haps, the queer and intense emphasis
which some young ladies give the ad-
jective "very," ''splendid," etc.
Numerous local and semi-local pc
culiarities are to be found almost
everywhere; sometimes depending
on the climate, which has prehaps
fashioned the vocal organs of residents
in such way that certain forms of
expression are easiest. North Of Ire
land people must find it difficult to
enunciate eyes," or "No;'' for they
will almost always say in preference,
"He did," or "He did not" or II am, I"
or "I am not" etc, thus using two
or three desirable words, rather than
one undesirable one.
The elision of the letters r., h, etc.,
comes largely into the same class.
A queer tongue custom has risen of
late years, in several of the mid-wes
tern states; EVERY WHERE does not
know how much farther it extends.
This is, to commence the answering
of question with the word "Why."
For example: ''Whose house is that?"
"W-h-y, it belongs to SO and So" "Do
you think it will rain today?' "W-h-y
l don't know"
The exact cause of all these pecu-
liarities, will eventually be discov-
cred and described by some one who
will be able to add very interest
ing chapter to the habits and customs
of Human Nature.

Mr.. Barring Gould has a delightful
paper in the Sunday Magazine, on
pulpits, as they appear to an eccles-
iastical observer who is far from being
blind to the human side of things. He
objects to the deliberately carved re-
ceptacle on the ground that it dis
tracts the listener. Moreover, he
says, 1" the living preacher is made
ridiculous, perched among the leaves
of the Tree of the knowledge of Good
and Evil, or in a cloud lowering over
the PROSTATE Saint Paul" He de-
nounces marble pulpits, also, as call
ugly and unsuitable in our cold north
ern climate, where the pulpit should
be calculated to warm, not to chill"
Several entertaining stories are told
of unique pulpits. One had sort of
screwjack attachment, worked from
the vestry, by which the pulpit floor
was raised or lowered to suit the
preachers height. Bishop WILDER
force was the first victim, the clerk
screwing up the floor on the occasion
of the reopening of the church. The
thing would not have been so bad,
were it not that the raising process
was conducted on the spiral method,
and the bishop found himself being
spun round during the prayer. GA
sense of nausea, of sea- sickness, came
over him; and he feared that in an
other turn his knees would be level
with the edge of the pulpit"
Ewes grave is visited by over 49,
900 pilgrims each year. 1t is to be
seen at Jeddah, in a cemetery out
side the city walls. The tomb is fifty
cubits long aud twelve wide. The

was the tallest woman who ever
lived.

ATTRACTIONS OF THE law.
Sacrifices That Young Men Make In the
Hope of Fame and Fortune.

Hope of Fame and Fortune.
Considerably over 300 young men are
graduated annually from the lazT schools
of this city. The graduates inclr<e not
only the usual number of well sckc3led
young men with friends to help them
and perhaps means at command, but as
well a considerable percentage of men
who come to their law studies without
the advantage of a good grounding in
English, Latin and the sciences, with
out money or influential friends and
with wives and children dependent upon
them for support. Some of these latter
finish their law studies at an age when
most lawyers have been from three to
ten years in practice.
Persons acquainted with the difficult
ties that beset the young lawyer in New
York wonder what the new graduates in
law Of this sort are to do. They are
earning In various occupations from
$3.50 to 81 500 year. Few of them can
hope to earn Immediately at the law
above 5000 year, and almost none can
hope within four or five years to earn by
his practice as much as the most success
full now earn by their present occupa-
tiOns. Most of such graduates in law
hope to find law clerkships at $500 to
$500 a year, but for these they must
compete with the cleverest and best edu-
Gated men from the most famous law
schools III the country. Those who take
the alternative of setting up Offices for
themselves must sacrifice ordinarily all
of their present income for an uncer-
talnty that may not yield $500 in the
first year and may yield less than 81 900
in the third or fourth or fifth year Some
never get beyond law clerkships, some
never find themselves able to give up
the trade that earns their bread in order
to begin that by which they hoped to
earn both bread and fame. Enough sue
coed to insure full classes in the law
schools year after year.
As a matter Of fact the law continues
to attract men here and elsewhere, in
spite Of statistics that prove the average
earnings Of lawyers to be below those of
skilled mechanics Men with families
to support work all day and pay from
10 to % per cent Of their incomes an
nUally for the opportunity Of studying
law at night. Other men work all night
for the opportunity of studying law by
day. Naval officers stationed here some
times squeeze in law lectures along with
their duties to the government. Stenog-
raphers, office boys, newsboys and all
sorts Of hard working people share the
belief that q chance to practice law is
worth almost any sacrifice Of time and
energy. Country folk still say Of any
bright lad, He ought to be lawyer,
and the same belief in the law as pro
fession seems to be held by q great many
New Workers of all sorts. It is still held
to be the profession that leads to digni-
ties and horrors, to political success, and
even to wealth. New York Sun

CABLES PASSION FOR TREES.
He Makes All His Distinguished Guests
Plant Them.

George W. Gable, the novelist, who
has resided in Northampton Mass. for
some wears. calls his residence Tarry-
awhile. Some time ago careless re-
porter sent paragraph travelling about
the country making the name Stay

Cosires correction. Like the old story
"Stayawhile' has been going the rounds
before "Tarryawhile' can catch up, and
every little while Mr.. Cable is ANNOYED
by the false and uneuphonious name.
The pleasant residence Tarryawhile is
on Dryads green, which is the name OF
a locality in New Orleans which Mr..
Cable has utilized in one Of his novels.
Mr.. Gable takes great pleasure in
trees. Whenever he has a visitor of rep
utatiol in the literary world he is asked
by Mr.. Gable to become the godfather
| for tree.
Once Henry Ward Beecher was a
guest at the home of Mr.. Cable, who
was then living on Paradise road, in the
rear of the lake which adorns portion
of the Smith college grounds.
Then the tree planting with distin-
guished sponsors was inaugurated, and
an elm sapling was planted by the great
preacher. Tt is now lusty tree, but it
has been q great traveller. About two
years after it had been planted by Mr..
Beecher Mr. Cable changed the form Of
his grounds somewhat, and he had the
tree transplanted.
On moving from Paradise road to
Tarryawhile Mr.. Cable had the tree
transplanted again and placed in front
of his new home. It did not seem to the
novelist to be just where he wanted it,
and it was transplanted again and is
now thriving finely.
The next tree that had famous spon-
sor is a graceful white ash which now
stands at the edge of the pine grove in
the rear of the novelist's house. This
tree was planted by Max O'Rell, the
French humOrist.
Not far away is another graceful ash.
This was planted by Mr.. and Mrs. R. j.
Chard, the parents Of the young man
who married Mr.. Cables daughter
Louise last winter.
Another tree was set out by the Rev.
Paul Vandyke, pastor Of the Edwards
church at Northampton. In the spring
Of 1894 Edward Atkinson planted an ash
near the south corner Of the Ta1rya-
while grounds. Last fall DR.. A. Conan
Doyle planted a maple on the edge Of the
grove about 40 yards west from the north
west corner of the house.
A few months ago Sol Smith Russell
and Mrs. Russell planted linden mid
way between the ash trees of Max O 'Ren
and Edward Atkinson.
Mr.. Cable has planted many trees,
but his favorite is a tall and handsome
elm which was about Is years old when
transplanted last year. It is beauty
