ROYAL PHRAsE.MAklNo.
Fine Speeches Made by Monarchs of the
Past and Present.

Rast and Present.
Phrase-making two or three genera
tons ago played an important part in
french politics. Louis XVI. had lit
erary prompter who used to prime him
with phrases and plan for him scenes
such as would excite the peoples admit
ration.
Your majesty viii soon be going to
the races said this prompter one day.
You viii find a notary entering the
bets of two princes of the blood; when
you see him. sire, make the remark:
What is the use of this man? Ought
there to be written contracts between
gentlemen? Their words should be
enough
The scene came off-the prompter
saw to that-and the courtiers ex-
claimed: What happy thought
How ldngly! That is his style"
Another scene, more likely to impress
the populace, Vas planned by this
prompter. A sledging pleasure party
was arranged for the king. Just as it
was about to start several carts passed
by, carrying wood to the poor of Paris.
"These are my sledges!" said Louis,
pointing TO the loaded carts. and be de-
ciined to join the party.
Talleyrand coined for Louis XVIII.
the remark which he was reported to
have used on the day he entered Paris;
There is nothing changed; only a
Frenchman the more in Paris
AS a matter OF fact, the king did not
trouble himself TO utter the phrase;
but Talleyrand inserted it in the jour
mails Of the day that the people might
fatter themselves that their king had
forgotten the past, and consequently
there would Ice no change.
Perhaps the most striking phrase ut
tered by a modern king was spoken by
King Humbert a few years ago, when
the cholera was raging in Naples. He
had been invited by the municipality of
Genoa to a banquet, which he declined
in these words: Men are Teasing at
Genoa; men are dying at Naples go
to Naples. - Youths Companion.
