A PLAGUE OF PARIS.
The wild Dogs Of the Days of the Rel
Of Terror.

The wind Dogs Of the Days of the Reigr
OF Terror.
So many startling events happened
from day to day during the reign Of
terror that the apparition Of wild dog:
in Paris is commonly overlooked. But
It was quite natural The greater part
Of those grandees who fed or went in.
to hiding kept dogs, and very few OF
them were able to make any arrange
ment for the poor beasts when they left
home
The dogs, abandoned, took to the
streets, of course, and shortly they be.
gan to congregate in two packs, one &C.
cupying the Champs Elysees and one
the Bots de Boulogne. Soon they became
public danger. Carlyle pokes fun at
Santerre, the brewer, who proposed q
law that all dogs should be hanged; he
had not noticed the paragraphs in the
newspapers telling how people had been
attacked in the Champs Elysees.
At length the situation became really
grave. as is easily understood when
thousands Of starving animals have to
find subsistence in starving city. Many
of them were wolf hounds and Of pow
erful fighting breeds. So in September,
1893, drastic measures were taken
against the Champs Elysees pack.
Two battalions of the national guard
surrounded the area, leaving gap to-
ward the Rue Royale, while multitudes
Of ragamufiins beat the cover. The game
was driven up the Rue Royale to the
Place Royale, where troops made bat
the Of it, firing volleys. Three days con-
secutively this operation was repeated,
and more than 5000 dead dogs lay in
the place.
A certain Gaspardin received orders
TO clear them away, and he, short Of
means, applied for the royal equipages.
It was timely jest, greeted with ap-
plause. So M. Gaspardin packed the
dead dogs neck and heels in gilded
coaches as full as they would hold and
made a state procession through delight

Clever Ruse by which welIington's Auto
graph Was Secured.

graph Was Secured.
II is we'll known that toward the lat
ter years of the Duke Of Wellington s
life 1t was next to impossible to coax or
wheedle his autograph out Of him. All
the stratagems used to get reply from
him to letters failed; he either did not
answer them at all or directed his pri-
vate secretary to do so, and thus the fa-
nous signature of Wellington" became
rarity highly priced by collectors.
Apropos Of this Answers tells Of a
London lady who had an album gar
nished with the autographs of most of
the great men Of the day, but wanted
that of the "Great Captain - She men
toned her distress to friend, certain
Mr.. H, and few days after he, to her
great surprise and pleasure, brought her
q note from the hand of the victor of
Waterloo. 1t ran thus:

ton never ordered pair of braces of the
Messrs. Simpkin. II f. NJ. the Duke of
Wellington had ordered the articles, he
could not forget it. F. NJ. the Duke of
Wellington always paws for his braces. -
This was very odd document for
lady's album, but its auehenticity was
undoubted, and it therefore found the
best place in the interesting collection.
The way in which this singular note
was elected was this:
Mr.. 81. filed up one Of the bankruptcy
court forms and signed it, informing
the duke that in winding up the affairs
Of Messrs. Simpkin he 1.-THE assignee)

The Potatn In France.

In France we find that the potato
was placed on the royal table in the
year 1916, but it was Parmentier, an
apothecary, who really introduced it and
did all he could to get it generally cul-
tivated, though not without the assist
ance of the government. In 1771 high
prize was offered by the Academy Of
Besancon for the discovery of a new
food which would fill the place Of ce-
reals in case Of a famine Parmentier
showed his potatoes, and Louis XVI gave
him so morgen of land to plant them
on. When showing the first flowers of
his potatoes, the king used them as a
buttonhole bouquet, Queen Marie An
toinette had them in the evening in her
hair, and at once princes, dukes and
high functionaries went to Parmentier
10 obtain such flowers.
All Paris talked of nothing but pota-
toes and the oultivator of them. The
king said, France will thank you some
time hence because you have found
bread for the poor " And France has
not forgotten Parmentier, for l saw my
self in 1882 potatoes growing ON his
grave in the grand cemetery of Paris,
the Pere la Chaise, and / was assured
that they were planted there every year,
so that his services might never be for

The Russian Army In NapOleOn's Day.

The Russian army was strong in reg
ular infantry, but weak in we'll disci-
plined cavalry, although the latter defect
was largely supplied by the Cossacks, a
peculiar body Of riders from the Volga
and the Don, who paid the rental Of
their lands to the crown by four years
military service at their own charges.
Then, as now, they fought with barbar-
ic ferocity. They attacked in open for
nation, each man for himself, and gave
no quarter until the czar offered a ducat
for every live Frenchman. They We're

when Hansoms are Dangerous.

The hansom cab is perhaps the most
convenient hackney carriage in the
world. 1t is light and handy to drive,
reasonably safe. and, to the trained Lon
doner, not too difficult to enter. But it
has one serious drawback, of which we
are reminded every returning winter.
This is that the seat is very liable to
get damp in wet weather. A mile or
two's sitting ON the soaked cushions
may easily result i'll rheumatism, sciati-
ca or general chill, ending in a more
or less serious illness.
The hanson cabman is very amenable
to public opinion, and if the public gen
orally were to take to examining the
state of the cushions before engaging
the cabs it is probable that means
would be found to keep them dry. Even
as it is, the men take good deal Of
pains, but are not too well seconded by
their ''fares, who are very disposed to
get out, leaving the doors open, where
as a moments care will shut them. -

THE UNoeRTAKER's SONG.

The ConsumptiVe Man Failed to Appreci-
ate the Old Melody.
On North Clark street there is an I'M
dertaker whose face and bearing are Pc
culiarly adapted TO his business-tall,
thin, with a cOuntenance habitually
thoughtful, almost melancholy. and in
addition his shoulders stoop, which aids
in giving him the air of "a man who is
burdened with his own or other peoples
sorrows. But behind the mournful ex-
terror there lies quiet humor, little
grewsome perhaps, but hnmor neverthe-
less.
This undertaken boards at a hotel just
across the street, and not long since as
he walked into the Office one evening
about dinner time he observed leaning
against the end of the desk cadaverous
looking man whom his experienced eyes
informed him was rapidly approaching
the last stages of consumption. As he
passed the desk he remarked in an nm
dertone to the clerk, "I'll get that fell
low pretty soon. -
Having finished his dinner, he return
ed to the Office, and seating himself in
one Of the chairs where he could watch
the door of his establishment he fell in
to dreamy mood Perhaps it was MEM
ories of younger days made him senti-
mental. At all events he began hum
ming some old ballads. The tune of the
old Song, "'I'm Waiting, My Darling,
For Thee, came to his mind. He hum
med it over again and again, trying to
recall the words A man seated i'll front
OF him seemed to be growing restless.
Suddenly the words came to him, and
in louder tone he sang the first meas
ure, "I'm waiting, my darling, for
thee.'' That was as far as he got. The
man in front turned round-it was the
consumptive-his bright eyes flashing as
in husky but angry tones he said. II

when an undertaken sits behind me and
sings I'm Waiting, My Darling, For

resumed its mournful expression as he
walked ont of the door and toward his
place of business. Chicago Times Her

Broad sunbeams lie athWart the lea;

Round roof and tower the swallows slide;
And slowly, slowly sinks the sun.

When day is done.
Sweet sleep, the nighttimc's fairest child,

Each flower beneath her influences mild
Fresh fragrance shefs;

With voice Of many a noisy bird:
The startled wood doves clatlering wings
No more are heard:
With sound like whispers family sighed,
Soft breezes through the trcrgops run,

Nor light one other JOY present
