very unexpected. The venerable states man from Massachusetts was suddenly reminded of story in m old novel, which would fit the occasion. Calling a little page he sent him to the con. gressional library for the book. When
 Senator Dubois sat down at the con- clusion of his remarks, Senator Hoar arose with the book in his hand, read the chapter applicable to the occasion, and won applause. To the people in the galleries that was wonderful To the initiated it was ,ry simple. That little page boy ran like streak of lightning to the library; he made no mistake; he got the right volume; he flew back to the senator; the proper page in the book was found; and Sem ator Hoar was loaded for speech by the time his antagonist concluded his attack. That illustrates very well one of the duties required of q page.
 When the vice president enters the chamber and assumes the gavel to call the senate to order, the pages range themselves along the steps at the side of the vice presidents platform. When n senator claps his hands they run to his desk to go on whatever errands he may have for them. Tho pages seldom leave the capitol. Alm0st sll of the outside work is done by the riding pages. They are older, and better capable physically of covering a wider territory. The page's duty keeps him at the capitola short time after the senate adjourns each evening. That is usual ly about five o'clock. When there are night sessions of congress, though, tho pages must remain all night. And very tired and very sleepy the little fellows are before the night is over. But they recover quickly, and are soon ready for all manner of pranks.
 Some of the senators take warm per. 'sonal interest in the pages and provide for them in some manner when they leave the senate. The late Senator Stanford used to give the pages quar- ters, half dollars, or dollars for serving him. He invariably gave the pages something for waiting on him; and, every Christmas eve, he sent new five dollar gold piece, in an envelope, to each one of the senate pages. Other senators who are wealthy are liberal with their money, so that the boys pick up considerably more than their sal aries. They are usually good boys, of good families, their experiences are ed ucational, they make the acquaintance of great men; and there is no reason why senate page should fail in life. They generally turn out well and make their mark in the world
 . It Is an unfortunate fact that the pages in the house Representative are not 10 worthy of commendation as are the little fellows at the other end of the capitol. Their circumstances are not so desirable. They learn a great deal of wickedness, and not infrequent- ly follow downward course. Some of them are obliged to carry messages to

The World,s MillIonaires.

M. de Varigny has just published at Paris statistical work about the largest fortunes of the United States and England. He says in part: While we find in the United States the largest individual fortunes in the world, most millionaires can be found in England. After careful research we find fortunes representing value of e1 100000 or more, that is, s5,OOO, ,O9O, divided as fol- lows among the nations: England, 200; United States, 100; Germany and Aus, trin, 100; France, T5; Russia, 50; India 50; all other countries, l2s.

New pages are appointed at the commencement,o of every congress, and the boys who have grown too tall are dropped.

Our English cousins have long con- sidered tea cozy an indispensable comfort and convenience; and with the custom now becoming so general all over our country of serving the sociable five-oclock cup, its use is growing in favor here. In Germany, as well as England, they are also used over the coffee-pot, and are even more useful for that purpose, since coffee often stands longer, with more chance Of cooling, before it is drank, than tea.

1t is the old story of the eagle who
plucks out his feathers that he may
become domesticated bird. And the
strange and admirable part of it is that
Mr.. Hawkins does not lament the lost
eagle and hold him up as a terrible
example to all eagles and warn them to
remain on their eyrie heights. He let's
him pluck himself and says no more
about it. Indeed, Mr.. Hawkins seems
to sympathize very little With his
genius. His heart goes out to the
common people, people less gifted and
warmer hearted whom Dale Bannister
makes supremely miserable; the poor
little soprano who breaks her heart for
him. and cratic DR.. Roberts who goes

The illusion OF intense modernness and
presentness is never once dispelled. In
that mastery last chapter 1 was afraid
horribly afraid that Rudolph might
gather his Princess up bodily and flee
with her like the knights Ct old and
make an old time romance after all, or
that he might be weak enough to stay

tone of the book. But Mr.. Hawkins

was all. That to my mind is the real
wonder OF the book, that it put
romance into a dress suit, real
romance with war and blood and love
and honor, like the romances of the
Grail or the Holy Sepuichre. And all
this comes about so naturally and
simply that it seems as il it might
happen to any of US. Only, instead of
faith and fanaticism standing for the
element, the forbidding fate,
there are all those hundred little pre-
cautions with which we have hedged
about to make life easy, but
which have in reality made it so hard,
so hard to live, SO hard to lay aside.

on the stage you may see any one OF a
dozen things; Marguerite in the garden
begging Faust to leave her, Desdemoaa
singing that love duo in Cyprus, L uccia
de Ldmmermoor gone mad, Juliette in

Philip Burke Marston must have heard
her or dreamed OF her when he wrote
that sonnet.

The Lily cometh not She will not be
with us at all this season. She has
declared her contract with Henry
French 'off, and there is nothing left
Mr.. French but to sue. The cause OF it
is this, that Langtry has made up with
Shrewsbury and he is feeling that
need OF change of air and re-
fuses to come to America. This is
not the first time that the Lily
has cancelled her American season.
She did it two years ago when Abing-
don Baird was the particular object OF
her alteration. and he gave her 100000
for doing it. Langtry's American move
ments are a sure barometer OF the state
OF her affections. Whenever she has
had a rupture with one of her admirers

one Of the most vain and jealous of
women and she cannot endure a rival.
She and Lillian Russell always remind
me of the wicked queen in the fairy
tale who used to go to her mirror every
day and say,
Looking glass upon the wall.

and if the looking glass answered nay,
it was the worse for the world.
In the last five years two young men of
great promise have come to light in
English fiction; Rudyard Kipling and
Anthony Hope Hawkins. Two men
who have not trod in the accepted paths
nor walked in usual ways, nor shown
any very great respect for the examples
OF the masters. They have preferred,
it seems. to strike off through Bypath
meadow and take their chances, and
leave the company of well ordered
pilgrims OF fame to go rejoicing on their
way to the celestial city. They can
afford to be original: they have talent
rich and brilliant, unlike that of other
men. and they have other things, youth,
future and possibilities.
A few months ago Mr.. Hawkins pub
lished The Prisoner of Zenda,- a
romance that was withal so realistic, SO
modern in tone and feeling that it made
one see new hope in fiction, made one
dream for the moment that the world
had not outgrowl the possibilities OF
romance. We have had. God be
thanked, even in this generation writers
Of pure romance; Doyle and Weymsn
aud the king and father Of them all,
Robert Louis Stevenson, whose harp is
now to finer ears than ours.
But all these are romancers of the past.
They dress their characters in hose and
doublets and grid them with swords,
give them the manners of other times
and other people. Even the deeds and
men in Kidnapped and David
Balfour' seem UNNECESSARILY distant
and far away. But Rudolph of the
Elphbergs is man Of our own world
and OF our time, like us a victim of
