STORY OF FRENCH REVOLUTION.

Tfmes When Mems Lives Depended
on Small Issues.
At the time of the French revolution
Houdon, the celebrated French sculp-
tor (whose statue of Voltaire VIC have
all admired in the foyer of the Theater
Francaise). was thrown into prison,
says an exchange. Nine. Houdon. in
despair, went to Barras and with
streaming eyes implored his assistance.
Barras shook his head; he feared he
could do nothing. Houdon was a man
of genius and. therefore, as David was
one of the condemning judges. he feared
there was little chance for salvation.
Nine. Houdon refusing to accept this
opinion as final and using all the arts
and beguilements of which an astute
French lady is capable Barras at last
condescended to ask her if her husband
had any statue for sale at that time in
his studio. Madame replied that the
only finished statue at present in his
atelier was a figure of ST. Scholastic
holding scroll of manuscript in her
hand.
On bearing this the willy Barras rang
the tell and said to his answering sec
retary: M. Houdon has just complet-
ed Il splendid statue of Philosophy
Meditatng on the Revolution Hasten
and purchase this sublime work of art
and have it placed in the assembly"
Barras' orders were carried out, with the
result that no; only was the sculptor's
life spared. but he received more cCm.

10 execute. On such small issues did
the lives of men hang in those tremend-

ARE WE MICROBES?
A Theory That Human Beings and All
Life Are AGGreEations of Them.


NJ. Paris, who succeeded to the seat
of the great Pasteur in the French
academy, referred in his inaugural ad-
dress to the interesting theory that hu-
man beings and all life are aggrega-
tions of microbes, says the New York
Journal.
'The microbes" he said, "were
known before Pasteur, but the part
which they played in nature was not
clearly discerned. They penetrate into
the tissues of the human body and pro
duce infectious disease; they people
the air; they fill the water; they satu-
rate the soil; dwell in animals and
plants; they develop us, serve our pur-
poses and threaten us from all sides.
NAY, they are, perhaps, ourselves.
The life of superior beings appears to
science as the result of myriads of these
elementary existerces. Their colonies.

entiated, composed from the merest in
sect to the rose, the cedar, the eagle,
the whale, the man, the immense and
dazzling network in the meshes of
which they ceaselessly circulate, de-
stroyed and yet renewed, ever since
there has been produced and without
doubt produced by them on this globe
of ours the mysterious dawning of life.
This, therefore, is what the study of mi
crobes has revealed to amazed humani-

OLDEST RACE NAME.
Distinction Belongs to the Chimes
or MOnyoIfnus


MOngolinns.
The population of the globe may be
said to be primarily divided into three
races; the yellow man, the white man
and the black man. Any other race.
compared with these, is unimportant,
and may be considered a modification
Of one or more of them. Anderson says
that "the yellow men have immemorial-
~ occupied the great central and north
eastern plains of Eurasia, and are
therefore called Mongols or Turan-
Chinese. For countless centuries they
far out-numbered all the rest of the
world, and even now the white men in
Asia form only tenth of the popula-
ton. From their number, position and
other considerations, they appear to
have first existed; the other two races
being derived from them by emigration,
change of climate and mode of living"
The writer then goes on to say later:
"Thus the three great racial types may
have sprung from the MOngolian
stock" Rawlinson seems to confirm
this view, and in thatcase the Egyptian,
for example, is not so old as the Mon
gl. The term Mongolian does not
mean, as has been supposed, that the
race originated in Mongolia, but only
that the physical characters of the race
are prominently displayed in the Mon
Colians. For this reason, therefore,
this race holds to the ancient name, the
most ancient among many

A SERMON TO HUSBANDS.
The Newspapers Should Be Banished
from the Breakfast Table.

The average man eats only two meals
day in his own house, and these meals
are the opportunities for social and do
mestic talk, delightful to the wife, who
has no such opportunity as her hus-
band of rubbing against other minds all
day, and important to the children in
widening their horizon, their views of
life, says an English exchange.
AT the first meal of the day most
women like to talk to their husbands
about the plans of the day, but the
woman who has once received the dis
trait, self-absorbed growl which en-
anates from a male disturbed in the
reading of his newspaper does not again
attempt to ask her husband this Or that
on a subject Of domestic interest. The
back of newspaper is not pleasant
thing to contemplate across the break
fast table.
Think of this, husbands, when you
look round FOR the casters or other suit
able prop for the back of your paper
and for the sake of good manners, for
the sake of your wife's feelings and the
example to your children, remove your
newspaper, reserving it for the tram,
omnibus, or tram-car.
Of course there are occasions when
matters of absorbing interest must be
looked to at once-telegrams of thrill
ing import. Why not glance at the pa
per five minutes before the breakfast
bell rings if it is really essential that
such news should be seen at once? Spe-
cial occasions sometimes justify special
behavior, but of your mercy let the
newspaper be banished from the break
fast table on ordinary occasions.

has achieved fame by gravely declaring,

they can lay their hands on" This
terrible arraignment of Freedoms pet

was wasted. however, for after long
debate. in which several rural solons ad-
vocated the destruction of eagles, the
bill was carried by good ma iority. One
speaker made the rather interesting
revelation that the proposed law was
drafted By an able lawyer for the pur-
pose of preventing New York sports
men from coming into Litchfield county
and killing eagles for the sake Of the

birds from metropolitan taxidermisss. =
