tragic condition of what a French
paper calls Gle strug-for-lifeur aristo-

Six gentlemen, says the Figaro,

and in tone sometimes litany, some
times a duet, sometimes a pecan of
triumph singing the song of the new
chapeau Marice, of the redingote
Rossignol.
They are "gentilhommes" by birth

might even imply noblemen. The

Not Tint Kind Of a Rudder.

Although sailor can Jockey" a
yard-arm gracefully, he is anything
but impressive in that sense on horse
back. Yet one Of the first things that
a man-o'-war Jack steers for when he
gets on shore with the liberty-money
in his pocket is a livery-stable, where
he can mount the hurricane deck Of
an animal.
During the time that one OF or
vessels was at anchor of Newport,
liberty was given, and two of the sea-
men agreed to spend their limited
amount of money on horse-hesh. One
of them negotiated with the liyeryman
and soon appeared in the street
perched in the saddle. When out of
sight Of the stable Deeper, jacks coik-
panion hove alongside and mounted
behind his mate. In this fashion they
sailed down Main street until the
square was reached where Commodore
Perry's statue is placed
"Isay Bill, cried the sailor in the
saddle, put your helm aport, al
let's go up and have a look at the
stattoo."
"All right, my boy" answered Bill.
Then he reached back of him,
caught the horses tail, pulled it hard
around on his left, and awaited devel-
opments. After minute he sung
out:

Langnage Of the jams.

The japanese language was inn
ported from China, and was originally
combination Of photographs. The
original word for tree was a rude
picture Of that object, and has been
reduced and simplified by usage until
it is now fixed sign. Each nation
has made its own notifications, but
has built its own language upon the
same fundamental principles. Many
of the same signs are still preserved
in both languages, and it is said that
a japanese can read Chinese easier
than Chiuaman can read Japanese.
But in both countries the spoken Ian
guage is very different from the
written language, and many people
who can read newspapers cannot read
books, because the vocabulary of the
former is simpler and more limited.
People OF literary accomplishments
use terms that never appear in the
newspapers and are not heard in con-
yersation.
Missionaries who can preach in
japanese Auently and can read the
bible are often unable to read ordi-
nary books, for the language of the
scriptures differs widely from that
used by modern writer's. There are
many missionaries in Japan who have
never been able to conquer the literary
language of the country because they
lack the power of memory that the
natives have inherited, and, although
they may be able to converse readily,
they must have their dictionaries be-
side them if they attempt to read a
letter or newspaper. Chicago Rec

A Child Of Nature.

The editor of the African Critic tells
good story of his barrister days
He was detained on one occasion to
defend Zulu charged with stealing f,
gold watch from his master. "Ths
evidence against the accused was,"
writes the editor, "only circumstan-
tial, and made the most of it, with
the result that he was discharged

character. On the same even

Criterion Hotel, conversing with Mr..
Hugo, the magistrate who had heard
the case, when my client of the morn
ing approached and asked if he could
speak to me. Without risiag, I asked
him what he wanted. Not noticing
who my companian was, he blurted
out, in English: Master, can I wear
the watch now? producing at the
same time the identical article for the
theft of which he had been tried and
acquitted. Mr.. Hugo roared with
laughter. felt somewhat embar-

The Luren Horn.

Every midsummer day unique
concert is given in Copenhagen.
There are kept in the Copenhagen
museum a number of Scandinavian
horns, more than 5000 years old,
called 'Luren." On balcony in the
court of the princely palace, in which
is kept the Northern museum, two
members of the royal "capella" blow
tunes on two of these primeval horns.
An enormous crowd fills the court, the
streets, the marble bridge and the
neighboring square, as far as it is pos
sible to hear the sounds. This is
funny enough to do once; but the
Luren horns cannot have Turing tones
enough in them to make people want
to hear them every day. -Pioayune.

Paraguay Ten.

Paraguay ten is made from the
leaves Of the Brazilian holly and takes
the place of tea in nearly the whole of
South America, where it has been en-
pIoyed by Indians from time immemo-

settlers since the seventeenth century.
The tree, if left alone, will acquire a
height of fifteen or twenty feet, but
the plants from which the mate is
collected are modern-sized shrubs

young gentleman-a very handsome

Mrs. Hazard; "It's only my nephew.
Fred, this is Miss Stanton"
And Sybil escaped to the adjoining
room.
"she's pretty" said Fred to his
aunt.
''She's very good-that's BETTER"
said Mrs. Hazard. "I'll see you at
breakfast, Fred"
And Mrs. Hazard retired to her
room, leaving her newly-arrived
nephew to amuse himself as he chose.
He prudently betook himself to the
garden.
That was the first Of it, not the
last OF it The nephew, sort of
Polling stone gathering no moss, had
been sent to Aunt Hazard, to be done
something with-to be recommended
somewhere or get into something
good.
A puzzled mother, with many other
responsibilities and very small in
come, had suggested this in an inco-
herent letter which accompanied her
eldest son. And there was nothing
for it, as Mrs Hazard said, but to try
to help that ridiculous Lefty, who
pever knew her own mind even when
she accepted Fred's father.
Fred stayed at Mrs. Hazards, and
she, with rich woman's influence,
soon placed him whereof he had
perseverance, and ability there was q
prospect of a good career for him.

Mrs Hazard stood still, glared fe-
rociously and inquired with sarcastic
politeness:
INLAY 1 ask what this means?"
cit means, said Fred, "that / have
just asked Miss Stanton to be my
wife. f"
"And what has she said2"
"What could say?" asked Sybil.
Mrs, Hazard sat down.

ooh, no, cried Fred. "We meant
to tell you"
''Thank you, thank You very much.
What if l say won't have it, eh?"
81 am of age" he said.
"Your bread and butter depend on
my word, said the old lady. 1 am rich,
as you know. 1 mean to leave you
well of, Fred, if you obey me, and,
SybIl, your place is worth something
to you, and / should not forget you in
my will. So have done with this nom

you'd makel
"There's Miss Roberts, Fred
quite an heiress; and as for you, Sybil,
why the professor is really serious in
his intentions. I've said enough, /
hope. I'll forgive all this nonsense if
it stops here" and Mrs. Hazard
marched, beckoning Sybi to follow,
but Sybil fingered.
Fred flew to her side.
Darling" he said, promise me
that you will not let her part us"
"You must not give up SO much for
me, Fred, said Sybil Remember,
she is rich; she"
IA fig for her money. I have hands,
and eyes and health. I'll make my
own way. I'd rather have you than
all the wealth of the universe--if you
will share the life OF fell ow who has
not much to offer you yet, but his
whole heart"
And Sybil gave him her hand, and
her lips, and the compact was sealed.
Two days after this note came to
Sybil, through the hands of the house
maid, and through the same instru-
mentality an answer was returned.
That afternoon Sybil took a walk. 1t
was long one, leading into the heart
of the city. There, at the corner, Fred
met her, and offered his arm. Sybil
wore her best dress; Fred also was
attired with taste. They took their
way to little parsonage, which stood
in the shelter of very huge church,
and Fred rang the bell. They were
ushered into a parlor. There was
something on foot, plainly. The SER
want guessed what it was, and an
nounced to her master that "that
young couple had come" And down
stairs walked the clergyman and his
wife, with the benignant mixture OF
smiles and gravity which seemed fit
ting for the occasion.
A few polite words-a blush on the
part Of the bride-a little nervousness
on that of the bridegroom and they
we're all standing, ready for the
marriage service, when the door-bell
rung furiously, and, as it was
opened, a voice they we'll knew cried
''Not at home. Keep me out, if you
darel I will go in" and in walked
Mrs. Hazard!
''Ah Tn in time, Isee, /" cried Mrs,
Hazard. "You're not married yeti
Come, Fred, I'll give youone chance

me, and I'll leave you everything"
''You're my aunt, madam" cried
Fred, sand an old woman, so I'll try
to be cool; but, by George, 1 wonder
what you take me for! I-I--Sir
