The attitude of England toward the

famous diplomatist.
He had been educated at the Uni

to England visited his uncle, Lord KEEP

went TO shoot p%heasants in Fakenham
wood and there he became acquainted
with his celebrated cousin, Charles
James f'ox.
MI. Fox, the bcst-natured of men,
seeing that he vas a shy youth, did
everything in his power to set him at
ease.
"Well. youngun," said he, "where do

"Oh. yes; we used to shoot foxes, re-

MYSTERIOUS DISCREPANCIES.
Men OF Prominence Who Suddenly Drop

Men OF Prominence Who Suddenly Drop
Out Of Sight.
There appears to be singular in
crease. in late years, in the number OF
people moving in the higher walks OF
life, occupying civil positions of promi-
nence, and enjoying rare social distinc-
ton, who suddenly disappear under
circumstances that battle all ordinary
efforts to account for. Without known
reason or ascertainable cause they van
ish from mortal ken and, stranger yet,
leave no trace. E. A. Osborne, NJ.
u. writes in the Chautauquan OF
these mysterious disappearance and
the attendant lapses of identity In
the missing ones, giving several in
stances that came under his own obser-
walton. He says:
From the more reliable statistics
available they seem to be as common,
Der ratio of population, in one section
as in another, as frequent in one sea-
son as another, and erratically to avoid
anything like a rule of procedure be-
yond the one prime propelling impulse
to step out and be gone. Herein lies
an undefinable mystery and an I'M
measurable danger, for until we know
just how and why this subtle psyche
logical force arises, there can be no
sense of security felt by any individual
as a personal immunity from this
strange and powerful, all powerful it
would seem, propelling force. In the
selection of victims the educated and
illiterate, the sick and the well, the
strong and the infirm, the rich and the
poor. the man of brains and the man Of
Drawn, the occupant of the palatial
residence and the dweller in the hut
are all treated with rare ind.scrimina-
ton.
Let us suppose for the sake of ex-
PLANTATION that we accept the theory of
every PERSONS being actuated by q
double consciousness, a twin self,
which, when the organization is in
state of normal, healthy equipoise, har-
moniously dominates all the acts which
characterize us, just as in health and
in physiological balance our two eyes
see as one, our ears hear as one, or our
double brain SO nicely conjoined, rea-
sons, receives impressions, transfers
them into sensations, and directs the
operations of the complex nervous sys-
tenn, in all acting, essentially, as one

An Aged Darby Says His Son Is Poorer
Trash Than Existed "isefo' de Wah.'
A white-haired Virginia negro, Isaiah
Dorsey, whose thrift and good charac-
ter many years ago won him not only
his freedom but white wife, appeared
before Justice Mcmahon in the York
vile police court the other day in an
swer to a summons issued at the re-
quest of his son, Albert C. Dorsey,
twenty-three years old, who complained
that his father had whipped him twice
during the week, the more recent
chastisement partaking of the nature
of a clubbing, says the New York Post.
Young Dorsey, clad in figured waist
coat, brilliant tie, and generally strilz-
ing attire, told the judge very coolly
of his fathers violence, and rather
sneeringly said that 1.-The old man does
not know how to behave" At this the
father, trembling with anger, broke
out as follows:
Judge, dat ERE dude trash standin'

says I dom know how to- behave.

his mother I'll whale him again, sah!'
Justice Mcmahon finally succeeded
in convincing the father that it would
be safer for him not to take the law
into his own hands, and on his agree
ing to let his son alone Dorsey was al
lowed to go home. AS he went out he
muttered back to the judge: Dat ere

The Honest Tramp Who Had Never Seen
Better Days or Better Surroundings.
The tramp, whom the lady of the
house had admitted to the kitchen
table and was giving dinner Of her
own cooking. was such a pleasant-looi1-
ing fellow that she became quite inter
ested in him. After busying about
awhile she ventured into conversation,
says the Detroit Free Press.
You have not always been in this
business, have you?" she asked.
No, madam" he replied briefly.
''Ah, thought so. You have seen
better days, then?"
He looked at the fine piece of pie and
big glass of cold milk she set down on
the table for him to finish on, and laid
down his knife and fork

find something to distinguish the COM
ing from the preceding shows. Among
these has been proposed by the Petit
Journal scheme which it is thought
will be particularly interesting to the
children, and everyone knows how at
tractive that is to grown people, al
though they may not be willing'to adj
NIT it. 1t has been suggested by Ar
mand Dayot, inspector of fine arts. to
unite with the exposition of 1900 the
garden of the Tuileries which latter is
to be exclusively reserved for juvenile
attractions, to be sort of childrens
paradise, quite apart from the amuse-
ments and distractions of the grown
people. There will be no lack of vari-
ETY. to give success to the idea. There
will be interesting museums of chill
dren's toys, retrospective collections OF
dolls. where the crude terra Gotta darl-
may have carried may look from the
far end of the line down to her fin-de-
steele distant relative in gorgeous Paris
dressing and capable of singing an
entire song in a squeal1y, graf
ing photograph falsetto. Then there
will be panoramas and dioramas in min
iature, to be decorated by such artists
as Boutet de Monvel and Kate Green
away. Punch and Judy shows in all
their variety and nationality, from all
corners of the world and of all periods,
from the Chignot of the classic period
to the marionettes of Boulogne, and
the Karaguez of Constantinople, all
displaying the antics of the same old
'Polichinelle," eternally raging to the
intense amusement of the children.
There are to be children's balls and
pony cavalcades under the trees, and
under cover a sort of wax works show
ing children of genius in their early
days; such as Lulli. Mozart. Giotto.
Viviana, Canova and that astonishing
Henry de Heinecken, who at the age
of two years spoke three languages
while yet in his nurses arms, and could
speak piece in Latin also.
1t is to be hoped that baby king of
Spain will send his baby regiment, and,
although they are Spanish soldiers.
they may be allowed by the French
government to show their drill in the
garden. That the coming men and
women have had no place. nothing
suitable for their capabilities. in for
mer exhibitions must be acknowledged
and that such display, coupled with a
retrospective exhibition eff educational
methods, will make the whole affair
immensely attractive to both young
and old, no one will doubt
