song and story. One of them, the United

name of the wrecked Kearsarge has de-

constructing. The Constellation has been
rebuilt once, and now is in service as
training ship stationed at Newport. The
Constitution has been practically rebuilt
three times.
The year 1897 is memorable In American
history for the recognition which the crea-
ton OF our navy first gave to the fact that
American interests must be protected in
every part of the world where American
citizens are found.

"Bolted?" echoed the youth.
Yes, bolted," moaned the poor girl.

DANGEROUS FRENCH WOMEN.
Likely to Stick IL Knife Into the OBJ
ject of Their Affections.

Paris Letter in Boston Transcript.
II you wish to give a French priest a Sc
we're fright, tell him that some woman of
hysterlcal reputation has fallen desperately
in love with him. If he is a nervous man he
viii go about his duties in fear of his life
Tor events which have taken place in
France of late force the sacerdotal mind
to the disturbing conclusion that there is no
danger to priest like a woman whose adj
lnlratlon of him is carried to exaggeration
He may avoid her and by saint-like discre-
ton tie the tongue of Islander, but he may
only increase his own personal peril by
such circumspection. The Able Menard
who was recently stabbed in Paris by a
woman named Pepe, used the utmost dis
erection when he became aware of the pas
sion that he had unfortunately inspired. He
rlghtecusly handed over to his mother all
the flaming letters that the lady wrote him.
But although he gave her as wide berth
as he possibly could, she managed to prove
that her interest in him was of no common
sort by inserting a kitchen knife up to the
handle in the lower part Of his back as he
was on his way to q dying person. If she
did not kill him it was because the direction
of the Knife was almost miraculously
guided. She certainly did her best to deliver
him from a world of trial. A few years ago
just such another woman murdered the
Able Prince) De Broglie by shooting him
with a revolver. He was a priest well up
in years, who had right to consider him
self safe from the attacks of such maniacs
His murderess is now in a lunatic asylum
gustine Pope.
1t may be some consolation to priests to
learn that they are not alone exposed in
these days to the peculiar danger that has
been sufficiently indicated. Dr. Paul Gar
nier says that almost every man of mark
in France, whether he be an actor, singer
novelist politician, could, il he wished
to do so, say much on the score of the anx-
ious and critical moments he has passed
through from the observation-disclosures liable
to take tragic form-of some feminine adj
mrer. But such maniacs do not belong ex-
clusively to the fair sex. Women have
often gone in great terror from the assiduity
of their admirers This has been especially
the case with actresses, and the reason is
easily understood. Madame Bernhard has
been badly prosecuted by men whose brains
she has turned, and on at least two occa-
sions the Intervention of the police has been
necessary for her protection. Among Mile.
Van Zandts triumphs she is not likely to
forget the Impression she made upon the
heart of a certain tailor, who although re-
pulsed again and again followed her like a
shadow. At length she had him arrested
and loaded revolver was found upon him.
She narrowly escaped being sacrificed on
the altar of Sartorian love-which would
have been disgustingly unromantic.

PRINCE BISMARCK.
The Great Germans Contempt of Man
kind in General.
London Standards Berlin Telegram.


Herr Rudolph Lindau, one OF Prince Bis
marck most trusted Subordinates, who has
for many years been chief of the press de-
partment of the Foreign Office, has Just
published a very interesting article about
Bismarck, for which he has been collecting
material since he entered the Foreign Office
in 1873. l quote his remark On Prince Bis
marclk's contempt of mankind:
THE begging letters addressed 10 man
like Prince Bismarck Number thousands
Some time ago, when ne was III at Farzln,
all the letters addressed TO him that were
not Of a strictly private nature were sent
back to Berlin to be read and answered
there. The majority of them contained
most obedient requests, but harqly one OF
the writer's had any claim on the prince.
One of the officials whose business 1t was 70
read those letters-an orderly man ana evil
IDENTIFY lover of statisticS-amuSed himself
by drawing up a list of all the petitions for
money. The total amount of the sums
begged for was 100000 marks. The prince
did not laugh when this was told MIN, put
shrugged his shoulders and put on look
of bitter contempt. On the other hand, II
is natural that quiet, decent, self-respecting
people. who ask nothing of him and
do not wish to trouble him with their
private affairs, never come into eontact
with him unless they stand in some offlclai
transact with him. So 1t is quite natural
that he sees a great deal of the low SIDE OF
human nature, and 1t is hardly surprising
that he is said to have become skeptical,
aud even misanthropic. Ills experience
shows that human beings, as rule-a rule
to which there are, happily, many excep-
tions-do not possess proper pride; that they
are disposed to abase themselves on account
of mere trifies; that there are many Drag
carts are easily duped. Prince Bismarck Is
Certainly well aware that there are many
very honorable people in the world, but ex-
luck to have intercourse with a compar.
atively small number of them. He clings
firmly to the few men and women he trusts
because he knows them to be his true
friends. but he is suspicious of strangers
His first thought when he sees new face
NAV naturally be- Well what does this
man wanS of me?' This explains why II,
is generally feared, though his intimate
friends warmly testify to his friendlines:

1t is all very we'll to have our articles
about THE Coming Literary Revival" and
our lectures about THE Future of the
American Novel" but they do these things
better in France. A group of men of letters
in Lyons has gore to the root of literary
sterility with admirable directness and has
shown how to make the great law of de-
mand and supply operate in the world Of
books as well as business. All you have to
do, say these lucid Lyonnais, is to get
large body of book bl yers to declare that
they want-say an epic, or a drama, or a
certain kind of novel; vow that they will
buy nothing else; have ready vast patron
age for the author who meets their de-
mand. and. of course, the author will be
forthcoming. Logic is logic, that's all they
say, and if there is anything in the law of
supply and demand, this is the infallible
way TO make literature develop just as you
would like it to. At this moment the great
est lack in French literature, it has been
decided at Lyons. is IAN Edgar Poe SO
a "Comite Edgar Allan Poe" has been
promptly formed and has devoted itself
to the discovery or production. of "a
writer of the class of that master, and dis
posed to be faithful to his genius" Any

thing to his advantage by addressing M.
