MONSIEUR DE PARIS.
Retiring French Executioner Has Gull,
IotIned 5O2 Persons

IotIned 500 Persons.
Tho man in France who has probably
killed more human beings than any
other person in the world is M. deb
Ter, popularity known as Monsieur de
Paris, and he Is about to resign his
office as the public executioner OF
France with a record of 500 official
deaths to his credit. He is very old,
his hand trembles, and his extensive
services should give him the right OF
rest. His achievements are known TO
all. He has dealt more than 900
wounds. all Of which have been fatal,
but not for him. Lately 1t was noticed
that he has become enfeebled; he had
no longer the skill, the smartness or
his youth At his 502d execution at
Nancy the other day, he very nearly
bungled the ceremony, and the people
of that province are very particular.
In few days, possibly even tomorrow,
the grewsome identity of Monsieur de
Paris will have fallen upon another
than Mr.. Diebler, who will retire from
the world, known simply as IN. Nor
eau" a good. honest citizen, living on
small yet sufficient income. NJ. deb
Ter has been an executioner for thirty
eight years. From 1858 to 1868 he as
sisted Rech, his predecessor, in eighty
two executions and then became exc
cutioner des hautes oeuvres himself
He is now 73 years of age. If such
term be permissible, it may be said
that he is the most popular bourreau
that France ever had, and he has very
seldom been placed in an embarrassing
position on the scaffold. In personal
appearance, NJ Diebler has been an
ideal Monsieur de Paris" with his
black beard Iron gray hair dark mourn
full eyes and pale visage. He always
dresses in black, with long frock coat
and tall silk hat. His domestic life has
been quiet. as might naturally be sup
posed, and his wife. who died few
months ago, was delicate, refined and
well bred woman, hardly the spouse
that one would expect to find in the
home Of Monsieur de Paris" Nine.
Diebler was the daughter of the eXecu'
tiCner of Algiers.

stenhan,s Start In Life.

The late Postmaster General Stephan
of Germany probably owed his start in
life to his gallantry and his knowledge
of foreign languages. Anxious to Sc
cure a place in Berlin. he visited the
director of the postoffice there, who,
however, snarled at him that every
young man in Germany seemed to
want to come to Berlin. not to work,
though, but to loaf" and turned his
back on him. AS Stephen left the
building he noticed crowd around a
woman who had a difficulty with the
driver, who could not understand her.
Stephan served as interpreter, and the
matter was soon arranged. The pos
tai director, who had watched the
scene from his window, now called
back Stephan and asked him what had
happened. The young man explained,
and when the director heard that he
spoke not only Italian, but English,
French, Spanish and Russian, he i'm
mediately engaged him as private sec,
rotary.

short Lesson in Natural History.

Our lesson this morning is about one
of the most gorgeously dressed, and
hAndsomest of all parrots, the Blue
Mountain Lory, which inhabits the
great plains in New South Wales. 1t
lives principally upon the pollen and
nectar of the gum trees of that coun-
try among. the branches of which it
lives, rarely descending to the ground.
When there is a scarcity of the pollen
and nectar, it will eat grass seeds and
insects, and it is for the lack of these
natural foods that it frequently dies
in captivity. .e,
The first pair of these birds import
ed to this country was in 1870, but al
though they are so beautiful, they are
not a very desirable bird to keep, as
they require so much care, you need
never be surprised to find them dead,

exchange tells the story:
II knew boy who was preparing
to enter the junior class of the New

its long lips, and it earns its name,
"sioth" bear because it has jaws and
teeth like the sloth. Ordinarily it is
very timid, but when wounded or when
its young are interfered with it will

alarmed the young bears mount their

with them.
