HOW SHE SAVED HER FATHER.
dramatic Episode In the Reign of
Terror.


On the authority of Mile. de Lescurc.
who heard it from the heroinc's own
lips, writer in the Guardian tells the
true story of Mile. dc Sombreuil's saw
ing her fathers life from the guillotine.
NJ. de Sombreuil and his daughter wcro
condemned to death at the time of the
September massacres, and we're waiting
in the cart, surrounded by the mob, for
their turn to mount the scaffold.
Mile. dc Sombreuil turned to the crowd
and asked what harm weak old man
like her father could do to the nation.
Some of the men answered that If she
would drink n glass of blood to the
nation they would let him go, and
passed up a glass. She drank it down
Immediately. The crowd took her and
her father from The cart; they escaped
and made their way to England. She
thought at the time she drank blood,
but aftcrward she concluded that it
was red wine, for She saw no one stoop
to fill the glass. TO her death she
was never able, however, to see red
wine in glass without shuddcr.

A USEFUL MEMORY.
The Trying Ordeal Through Which n
Young OGiSer Passed.

Gen. Du Barail, in his souvenirs"
tells how his good memory for names
once served him very handsome turn.
lie was then Capt. Du Barail, and had
just been assigned to the command of
cavalry squadron ut Blidah, in
Aiigicrs. Lis feet were hardly in the
stirrups before the Inspector general,
Gen. L'Etang, announced his annual
inspection of the troops. 1t was try
Ing ordeal for the new officer, for Gen.
judgments. Du Barail worked hard,
and thus describes the happy result:
The inspector general reviewed tho
squadron hastily, and appeared to be
satisfied with the appearance Of the
men and the condition of the horses
Then he made me stand opposite to
him, and ordered me to namo the
subordinate officers rs they should flo
between us. This was not difficult, and
acquitted myself very well.
Can you do the same for the non
commissioned oflicers?" lie asked.
Certainly" l answered, and the
second trial was as successful as the
first. l took relish for the thing, and
said to him:
eff you wish, general, 1 can do the
same for the men"
"How?" said the general; "you know
the names of all the native soldiers?"
assured him that l did.
"Well," he said, 81 should like to see
that
The squadron filed between US, and
as each man passed L called his name,
which was often pretty complicated.
The general, meantime, kept stopping
one and another TO look ut their pass
books to see whether was right.
When the examination was finished
the general asked the colonel of the
regiment how long had been i'll com
mand of the squadron.
"Not quito six weeks" was the
answer.
The general then paid me very hand
some compliments, and expressed his
regret that the brevity of my service
made it impossible for him to recon-
mend me for immediate promotion.

sit Is q good thing that Grand
Duke Nicholas of Russia is not resi-
dent Of Washington" said f. R. Hart
well. of Philadelphia, who spent sever
al years in Russia, to Washington re-
porter. "It wouldn't take him long to
break up the business of every hotel
and clearinghouse in the city If he
did. In what way2 Why, in satisfying
his appetite. He is afflicted with the
stcadiest hunger, and possesses the
most marvellous capacity for slowing
away food of any man in Europe, or
anywhere else, for that matter. Think
of man eating thirty fuu-size mutton
chops for luncheon and four big por-
tions of sausage on the side, and then
topping off with two roast ducks! Well,
that is record he is known to have
made one day in ST. Petersburg, and he
had two or three dinner and several
supper engagements to meet during the
afternoon and evening. His fame-or
rather notoricty-as glutton is sprcad
all over Europe, and when he goes
travelling to visit some Of his distin-
guished titled cousins the royal lardcrs
are stocked until the pantry doors stand
open, so he may be entertained in the
way most pleasant to him.

hlle' Atosn BOnheur Won tho First Salon
Mcdal-Other Great Artists.
Mile. Rosa Bonheurs first Salon
medal, won in 1916, marked the open
ing OF the gates to veritable army Of
her countrywomcn, says Munsey's
Magazine. There arc to-day in Paris
several hundred lady painters = not
mere amateurs or students, but artists
whose work is admitted to the Salons
and who carry Off respectable share
of the prizes offered there.
Henriettc Brown and Nellie Jacuue-
mart were among the earlier leaders;
Madeleine Lcmaire, Berthe Delorme,
Mime. dc Chatillon and Louise Abbcma
are more widely known. Marie Bash
kirtscff made precocious success few
years ago, and her "NIceting"-a clever
study Of street boy life-was purchased
by the government for that goal of the
young French painters ambition, the
official collection in the Luxembourg.
Mile. Bashkirtseff's death prcmaturely
ended career whose possibilities were
at least interesting.
1t is noteworthy that among the lead
crs of the artistic sisterhood of Paris
are several women with whom painting
is only pastime. A few years ago
Princess Mathildc took medal ut the
Salon; Baroness Nathaniel Rothschild
has been frequent exhibitor; Sarah
Bcrnhardt has shown both pictures and
sculptures which have attracted marked
attention and much praise, mingled
with few ill-natured queries whether
the work was really the tragedicnnc's
own. 1t is an undoubted fact that she
has talent, and that she studied in earn
est with Alfred Stevens.
