THE MULLlGAN LETTERS.
Blaine's Dramatic Reading In Congress q
the Famous Correspondence.

Blaine's Dramatic Reading In Congress OF
the Famous Correspondence.
After the morning hour ON Monday,
June 5, Mr.. Blaine rose to a question OF
privilege. He began his remarks by OBJ
serving that the investigation, though
authorized In general terms, was aimed
solely and only at himself. 1.-THE famous
witness, Mulligan," he said, had select,
ed out Of years of correspondence letters
which he thought would be peculiarly
damaging to him, Blaine, but they had
nothing to do with that investigation.
He, Blaine, obtained them under cir
cumstances known to everybody, and
defied the house to compel him to pro
duce them. Had Mr.. Blaine stopped
here his enemies could have made him
bite the dust. Apparently he had allow
ed himself to be driven into a fatal cul,
de-sac. Not SC.
Having vindicated his right to the
letters he proceeded in his most dramat.
ic manner "Thank God Almighty ]
am not afraid to show them. There
they are [holding up a package Of let

rage which l think any man in my po'
sition would feel, I invite the conf
deuce Of A, 600, 900 Of my countrymer
while I read those letters from this
desk" For the moment triumph turned
to dismay, dismay to triumph. The au'
dience was electrified. The letters seem
ed to show Mr.. Blaine, in one case al
least, high minded and generous i'll as
suming the losses Of innocent persons

Royal Etiouette.

On one occasion Queen Victoria, Louis
Philippe and the Duke of Wellington
paid a visit to Eton college. They were
invited to sign the visitors book. The
French king thoughtlessly took up the
pen and signed his name at the top of
the page. Etiquette, however, forbade
Queen Victoria to sign her name under
any other. She therefore signed on the
top of the next page. She then took up
the pen and handed it to the Duke of
Wellington, who was SO excited at the
contretemps that ho actually signed his
name "Weggington. And, by the way,
it may be recorded that etiquette forbids
the queen to converse with tradesmen.
When e purveyor waits upon her, the
queen addresses her remarks TO an
equerry, who in turn addresses the ex
pectant merchant t-Philadelphia Times.

An Old Love Letter.

The following love letter, written by
a Kentucllian in his youth, and bearing
date in 1928, may be Of use TO some OF
cur more modern but less effusive and
tropical lovers, as an example in erOjic
epistolary correspondence:

Muscular Christianity.

The Westminster Budget tells a char
acteristic story Of the late Rev. Peter
Mackenzie of London. Many years ago,
after delivering a lecture in a village
near Sunderland, he was returning to
his hosts house along a lonely road,
when he was accosted by a robber. The
latter was a believer in the right of
might and requested Mr.. Mackenzie to
turn out all the cash he had got. "Well,
my dear man, T." replied Mr.. Mackenzie,
you know am big enough to thrash
you. If it's money you want, I'll give
you half a crown" The robber would
not accept this very charitable offer.
Mr.. Mackenzie "doffed" his coat and
gave him what the man is now pleased
to call "a dashed good hiding" That
thrashing did the man a great service,
for he afterward left the paths of vice
and became one of Mr.. Mackenzie 5

it. The young man was as attentive as
he could be, and the young woman, who
wore all the earmarks of a spoiled child,
took all his little kindnesses as a matter
of course. Between the first and second
acts the courteous gallant whispered to
his fair one for a moment, and she nod
ded her head affirmatively. The young
man arose and went out of the theater
through door leading TO an adjoining
candy store. he returned few minutes
later accompanied by cOlored boy in
white coat and apron, who carried in
one hand a tray with a glass Of soda

He stood IL the aisle while the young
man besought his lady to refresh herself

In France, as in most other countries,

making a statement in coart of justice,
as well as in many other CEicial pro-
ceedings. But FrenrhwoEeI uf mature

for their uDwillingness TO state their age.

a numerous company Of her friends. and
when the magistrate asked, How old
are you?' there was such a coughing
and clearing Of thToats, as Of people suf
fering from severe colds, that all that
could be heard in the courtroom was

Through the amiability of the magis-
trate, this more than half suppressed re-
sponse was allowed TO stand, but the
tribunals are not always SO lenient. On
another occasion a magistrate asked q
woman:

"Whatever you choose, sir" an
swered the lady. She was under oath.
"You may put down 40 years, then, "
said the magistrate TO the clerk. What

ARTIFICIAL seeming of Flowers.

Flowers that have lost something of
their perfume are now scented artificial
ly by watering them with an alcoholic
solution of essence, using a little glycer-
in to fix the odor. Thus, for violets, the
liquid is composed of 100 grams Of
glycerin and 10 grams of essence of
violet In many places, while scented
violets are comparatively rare, the nm
scented kinds grow wild in great prOfu-
sion. These are now bought up in large
quantities, scented artificially and put
into the market in advantageous compe-
tition with the perfumed violets grown
by the horticultUrists. Cut flowers which
have wilted from time or transportation
are revived by being plunged into u
weak solution of sal ammoniac. Flowers
which have little or no scent are also
perfumed for sale by being put into a
box with ice and Fhen saturated with
a current of carbOnic acid charged with
perfume. Public Opinion.
