Here at least one might think that Louis
de Maupin would have called a halt, but
he did not. Never gallant since the day
love WAS first made by man to woman ever
entered the lists of Cupid with more ardor
nor strange to say, with more success.
Women threw themselves at his feet. Hus.
bands became so jealous of the handsome,
fascinating youth that they forbade their
wives speaking to him. The wife of NJ.
Sabel, mayor Of Versailles and master or
the palace, committed suicide because of
her hopeless love for De Maupin.
These intrigues were notorious and in
cessant. The consequence was duel after
duel, in all of which this remarkable i'm
postor came out victorious, till at length
even the bravest feared to face his invinci-
bic sword.
Gautier, in his historical story, says that
Mile. de Maupins startling career in
Paris lasted only six months. As a matter
of fact, from her first appearance at the
age of Is till the day her life went out, six
years elapsed-six years in which she lived
a century.
After being in Paris for nearly year
she paid visit to her estate, only to dis
appoint the old servants, who were devoted
w uci anu uOptu sHc NOulu fclnaln,
Tho strong reason for her return to Paris
was the friendship she had formed for a
young and handsome artist named Philippe
Cassimir. In this case nature asserted
herself in most striking way.
Cassimir believed that his fascinating
friend, Louis de Maupin, was man, and
yet he confessed to himself that never be-
fore had man or woman affected him in
the same way. In the presence of Louis
this power of fascination did not influence
him. The two would sit in the studio,
smoking, drinking wine and exchanging
stories of love and adventure with their
top boots on the table or mantelpiece.
But when Cassimir was alone, the face,
voice and manner of his friend haunted
him, and he could not account for the ir-
resistible yearning he had to be in the
young mans company.
This went on for more than a year, and
Philippe Cassimir's friends noticed that
he was fading away, and, learning that he
was in state of Decline they advised him
to go to warmer climate. Before doing
this he decided to consult with De Maupin,
who had now become essential to his ev-
eryday life.
wait and we shall talk it over" said
De Maupin. Meanwhile come to the pri-
vate theatricals tonight and hear me play.

COURT LADIES MUST NOT SMOKE.

Petersburg.

The Czarina Creates CONSERVATION In st.
Petersburg.
Russia's young empress has created con-
sternation at the court of St. Petersburg
by discountenancing the use of tobacco by
the ladies with whom she is brought into
contact. She is credited with the observa-
tion that cigarette In the mouth of a
woman is as bad as an oath in that of O
man and has requested that neither her
ladies in waiting nor yet the ladies of the
court should approach her as long as there
is the slightest aroma of tobacco about
their clothes or about their person. Now
nearly every member of the imperial fam
lily, and in natural consequence we'll nigh
every lady in court and in society at st.
Petersburg, is addicted to the use and even
abuse of cigarettes, the Grand Duchess
Vladimir being conspicuous among the
number.
There is only one other sovereign in Eu-
rope who manifests a similar aversion to
tobacco-namely, Queen Victoria, who has
been known to cause her private secretary,
the late General Sir Henry Ponsonby, to
address letters to her various cabinet min
listers complaining of the aroma of tobacco
with which the official documents and
state papers submitted to her for signature
were imprcgnated. The Prince of Wales
is always miserable when he stays at
Windsor with his mother, on account of
his not being permitted to smoke, and the
one reason why he leases a mansion every
summer at Ascot for the race week at an
expense of $4,000 or $50, 900 merely for
the few days is that her majesty declines
to permit him to use the castle for the
time unless he promises that there shall
be no smoking on the part of himself, his
friends or his attendants.

The green lizards which swarm on every
tree certainly have the hardest life of any
creatures in Barbados, since their flesh is
so delicate that everything eats them
which can catch them. Cats fowl, birds,
monkeys and snakes, all devour the poor
lizards, which have only two methods of
defending themselves, both very made.
quate for tho purpose. One is their power
of changing their color, whereby they can
appear bright green at one moment on
the leaf of an aloe and then dark chocolate

does not conceal them from their enemy
they drop their tails The caudal append
age jumps from the ground and makes a
frantic dance all by ITSELF and if the pur-
suer is deludcd into selling it the lizard
avails itself of the chance to escape and
grow another tail. But we are bound to
confess that we have never yet seen a
quadruped taken in by the artiiice, though
it may deceive a bird now and then.
For the rest, the poor lizards are harm
less things, with pathetic eyes, in which
turks an expression of WEAKNESS and disil-
fusion, ms though they were as old as the
world itself and had found it all vanity
and veXation of spirit. They are fond of
plaintive music and will enter at the open

THE AMERICAN TROTTER AHEAD.

John S. Bratton in Horse Review.
Anexperence extending through life
time convinces me that the English hack
ney, which | handled for years in his
native land, cannot compete with the
American trotter for carriage, park or
road uses. The longer the hackney is
bred to his own kind, the nearer he will
get back to the shire, from which (and
the thoroughbred) he is descended. The
American trotter has blood, factor that
is absolutely necessary IN order to get a
desirable breed. American writers who
have uniformly belittled the home horse
must certainly do so through absolute ig-
norance of the facts, ] am not prepared
to say that their motives are mercenary,
but charitably ascribe them to lack of
knowledge. This statement is presented
in order that the breeders of the light
harness horse may be placed in possession
of the truth as to what it takes to win at
a horse show and in the sale ring, where
fancy horses are in demand. Whether it
is a crime to buy a horse at the Chicago
wards do not care to discuss, but | do
know that English and Scotch buyers
have paid as high as 81 $50 there for trot-
ting bred coach horses, for export. The
horse Roywood 2lS72, trotter with a
record of :2l4, was first prize winner
at the Dublin 1894 show, for speed and
action. He was bought at auction by
me for the exporter, at the Chicago yards.
The same purchaser came to Chicago and
bought four chestnuts, trotting-bred,
with which he won the blue ribbon for
fourth. hands at Dublin. In the classes
for speed and action, at Glasgow, Ameri-
can horses always win. Yankee Boy,
who won two years ago at Glasgow, is a
trotting-bred horse from America. |
think this statement will suffice to show
that the editor who holds any other breed
above the American trotter does not
know what he is talking about and | am
prepared to prove that if it was not for
our home-bred horses there would be no
horse shows, and few, if any, driving,
park or carriage horses. The United
States is sending coach horses to France
and England; they are trotting-bred, and
are in demand. That this horse will take
possession of the markets of the world
have no doubt and all the efforts of his
enemies will not serve TO prevent his do
ing it.

ADVICE TO THE GAR.
From American Sportsman. !

His austere and plutocratic majesty,
the Gar of all the Russias, the one silent
austere monarch of all the Asiatic East,
is horse lover and patron of the turf.
Perhaps nothing we can say will induce
him to ease off his Russian street parade
instead; still we will make some mission
airy observations in the hope that some of
his highly caparisoned postillions will
call his attention to our advice, in plain
and transformations Russian. The new
Cars favOrte rig, when he gets tired
loafing around the Peterhof palace, is a
troika, driven by the state coachman in
Russian costume behind three superb
gray stations, hltched abreast The cen
ter shaft horse is housekeeping trotter,
while the two side horses gallOp and
have their heads pulled to the outside,
with ore line each. The center horse
(the trotter) carries about his neck a
chime of silver bells, hung on bow of
plated gold. Now, we suggest to the
Gar that a three-in-hand team of Ameri-
can trotters would be caper in Russia
that would do wonders for the American
product throughout his grim dominlons.
We call the attention of our high-priced
American minister, Breckenridge, who
has official entry to the palaces of the
Gar, to this piece of valuable advice.
He can do the breeders of the breeziest
American product valuable service by
insinuating to his austere majesty the
superiority in style, harmony and finish
of three abreast team of trotters over
an Orloff trotter and the high jumpers,
with twisted heads, on the outside.
