The Due d'Aumaie.

The Due d'Aunale, for the last twenty
five years of his life suffered much from
gout, which twisted his hands somew hat
out of shape and shriveled his fingers
In spite of that infirnity, he still wrote
a neat and legible hand. At Twicken-
ham, during his periods CT exile, while
he was at Work on studies of his His
tory of the Princes of Conde.'' ne wrote
upon little scraps of thick note paper
which We're recopied on larger sheets. He
bought many pictures in England, which
afterward found place in the galleries of
Chantilly, but nearly all are works OF
French or Italian artists. 1t has been
noted with surprise and some regret that
he did not care to enrich his collection
with masterpieces Of the English painters.
He Inherited his great fortune, as : well
known, from the Due de Bourbon the head
of the Conde branch OF the Bourbon family
After the dukes son. the Prince d'Enghein
had been shot by order OF Napoleon, the
duke had no direct heir In his old age.
after being twice married and widowed,
he fell into the clutches OF Madame Gle

induced him to settle upon her An estate

that She. feeling the need of a friend at
court, agreed with Louis Philippe that if
he would stand by her she would Influence
the old duke to make the Due a Aum ile
who was his godson, his heir. The old
duke repined under the domination of his

The Trout as a Cannihal.

There is "a middle-aged man, an excellent
mechanic, in the town where live, a nd
occasionally meet him in the street or the
postoffice, and generally We have a few
minutes conversation when we meet, fol
he has been a close observer OF nature
during his life, and like TO talk with him
about what he has observed. A few even
legs ago was about TO pass him with d
bow when he stopped me with the question:
.'Do you know the capacity OF a brook
trout as cannibal?" Confessng that
did not, he told me of a youthful expert
ence of his own. He was boy attending
the district school some distance from his
home, and carried his dinner in tin pail
a inan in the neighhorhood desired t.
stock a pond with trout. and offered 8
cents each for sue b trout as the boys would
bring him alive and in good condition
There was trout brook close to the school
house, and one afternoon my friend went
there to earn spfne of the money He
caught nine trout, and put them in his
dinner pail and covered the pail with hi.
straw hat and set out for the mans nouse
Fight of the trout were about the same
size, quite small, and one was so large that
the diameter or the pail was not great
enough to accomm odate him without bend
ing his tail trifle. When he reached the
house of the purchaser of live trout he an
nounced that he had nine fish worth
45 cents, but when the hat was removed
from the pail, for his hat had kept them
and he stood open-In outhed looking into
HE dinner pail, wondering what had become
of seven trout he had started from the
brook with. They could not have escaped
from the pail, TO rhis hat had kept them
in The man saw that the boy's surprise
was genuine, for his As cents had shrunk
to 10, and he showed his disappcintmentin in
his face The explanation came as both
were looking into the pail, for the big
trout, with a dash, seized and swallowed
the remaining small trout, and his As cents
shruEk to before his eyes.
This was something absolutely new to
me, that trout, just caught, and cou fin d
in a small dinner pail, would eat one an
other in the manner described until but
one was left. the survival of the biggest
/ do not question the story in any of its
parts, but before it was told to me had
l been asked If such a thing could be pos
sille would have said no. I have tar
ried hundreds of trout ia pals and other
vessels during boyhood and later, but never
even suspected such pronounced cannibal-
istic tendencies In fish freshly caught and
confined in such small space. That trout
will do this same thing In IN aquarium

The unspeakable Armenian.

1t must be admitted, says BENJAMIN l.
Wheeler, that the Arrnenians are not al
easy people to get on with. They are dis
tinguished by an energy, a busy-ness, ana
fOndness for acquisition that are almost
super-Occidental They are selfish, per
sonally unattractive, and strikingly lack
ing in traits of nobility and self-respect.
The average Armenian is unqueston nahly
of sharp intelligence, so far as small things
go The ying is that it takes ten Jews
to outwit one Greek, and ten Greeks to
outwit one Armenian. He is unqles-
tionably extremely irritating to the quiet
istic, resigned, fatalistic Turk. The two
have little ir common. The Armenia n
is clearly pestilent fellow, and the Turk
has decided to get rid of him. The Arme-
nian is persistent source OF unrest. He
is a '.klcker'' What men do with kick
ers'' in the Occidental scheme OF things
is to vote them down. The Turk knows
10 other way than to club them down, cut
their heads off or sink them in the Sea OF
Marmora. He is applying the .riune
recipe with patient zeal, as occasion offers,

An English religious paper says: I'VE

chieftian who on his deathbed was asked
by the minister to forgive an inveterate
enemy. Vengeance is mine, saith the
Lord was the text quoted by the man of
peace In support of his argument. Yes. to

ADJUSTMENTS
BANCROFT AT THE BIJOU.

BANOhOf i Al 1 he DlJOOs
One Of i.he largest houses Of the sea-
son will probably greet Bancroft the
magician, when he presents his re-
markable production of magic, illu-
sions and sleight of hand, allied with
spectacular scenic grandeur next Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday ait the cosy
Bijou Theatre. Bancroft Is not only a
magician CT remarkable natural tai
ents, with a dexterity and ingenuity,
which is a rare gift of nature. but he
has studied magic under the guidance
of the .Hindoos. in the land of the
Pharoahs, and in every corner of the
globe which has been noted for those
miracles which suTpass the understand
ing of the uninitiated. He has sur
rounded his achievements with a
princely magnificence of scenic access
cries. gorgeous furnishings and artistic
lavishness which is of itself a novelty
in theatrical entertainments, requiring
two large baggage cars for its trans
poItation and representing the invest
ment of liberal fortune. Among the
novelties which he has provided this
| season to enohain the attention Of his
| audiences, arousing their interest and
admiration and provokig them Il
| laughter and applause, are the "Mys
terry of Mesrour," the Miracles O
Chunder Hula. "the Secrets O
Jeypore," the Oracle of Egypt" anC
the famous "Illusion Leonii."
