which had belonged to Philip H., son OF
Emperor Charles Y.
Having worn this sword ia a piece IN

was making his way homeward in Paris
one night. The weather was rainy. and
he carried an umbrella. Under his
cloak he bore the precious sword of
Philip IL.
Coming around corner, Melinguc
waa suddenly menaced by two sneal,
thieves. Tic was an expert fencer, and
Knew that with the sword he could

said to himself:
What! Betray to these rascals that
have such precious possession? No!
They might lie too much for me, after
all, and then they would get il. will

SHOULD WOMAN WEEP7

sos, and rot to this end of the century.
Women was then submissive slave and
man the righteous ruler. Now all is
changed. The new woman is here and
she rules; therefore, she should not
cry.
In the opinion of another writer, a
woman should cry provided she does so
"noiselessly." IF her face begins to
swell, ell walls should cease and she
must not sniff, gulp or otherwise make
an object of herself. If she does oil The
pathos of her crying is gone" The
idea is thrown out that "styl in weep
ing should be cultivated; for there arc
several forms" of weeping. "Some weep
alone to their pillow in the dead of
night" This, it is held, is u mistake,
because it makes the weeper old and
ugly before her time, and does not do
anybody the slightest good.
Then there is the woman who is cry
ing ut every opportunc and inopportunc
moment. That is bad form in weeping.
The "whimpering style. with gricv-

form of all is the "rcd-faccd cry OF tenn

A bold Plot OF Wilkes BOOTHS That MAes

About the middle of March, 1865,

horses would be held in readiness for
the relays. Accordingly, at Mrs. Sur

for the kidnapping.
Between two and three o'clock in the
afternoon they left the house and made
for the Seventh street road. where it
was reported that the president would
pass that evening on his way to the
Seventh street hospital.
Mr.. Lincoln would frequently ride out
to the soldiers home on the Seventh

Receives President Taure.
Attention is called to that interesting
person the prince of Monaco by the
fact that the president of the French
republic has just paid him visit, says
the New York Journal. Monaco is a
rrincipality within the borders and
under the domination of n republic, and
its internal government is at the same
time a dcspotism compared to which
the prince has himself said that of the
cars is mild.
His revenues from the gambling ta-
bles of Monte Carlo are very large. The
principally is eight square miles in
extent and includes the old and p,ctur-
esque town of Monaco and the. wicked
but beautiful Monte Carlo. The prince
legislates with the aid of such advisors
as he chooses and a law goes into force
by his decree solely. The name of the
royal family is Grimraldi and it has
reigned for 900 years. The present
prince, Albert, Is 4s. lie married first
q sister of the duke Of Hamilton.
Eleven years later he was divorced for
reasons that are not publicly known,

riagc, very unusual proceeding. The
prince afterward married the widow
Of Due de Richelieu, who is also kins-
woman of the poet Heine.

A GOOD TALkER AT BREAKFAST,
Literature Claims His Existence, But None
Meet Him In Real Life.

NAect ia AscA1 LILO
A writer in the Buffalo Courier repre-
scnts some one as asking this interest
ing questions: Did you ever know any,
enc who could converse brilliantly u,
hreakfast?" The question is good
one. Why, indeed, should not CONVEX
sation be brilliant at the breakfast
table, when the brain is fresh, yester-
days worries have all been slept over
and to-day's have not yet come? And
were not the genial Autocrat Professor
and Poet speakers at breakfast table,
where surely the conversation was
nearly akin to brilliancy? There are
other books that give, as early morning
talk, conversations which their authors
think worth printing, and now and
then in the journal or the letters of a
great man there is reference to \
breakfast-table discussion.
Yet, what one OF us has ever really
came in contact with brilliant talk at
eight a. M? The very fishballs AMI

Still the COW came on, believing NJ

unusual manner. AS much from cur;.

slowed up and sent the fireman ahead To
see what was the matter with the COW.
No sooner did the COW sec that the

that the fireman was going to invcssi-

then. looking over her shoulder and
switching her tail as much as to saw.
