"On and after this date, E" wrote
Napoleon l to Fouche, "see that the
English are expelled from Paris. y
Such an edict would seem a very
large order at the present day, but it
was by no means a small one in Napo-
leon's time. What would the Paris of
today be without its English colony?
From Sir Edmund M0Eson, our embas-
sador, to the pale boy who files the
English journals at Neal's library in
the Rue Castiglione the English are
very important factors in Partisan life.
There has been an English colony in
the French capital for many centuries,
yet one might search i'll vain for a sim
liar French colony in London. The
Leicester and Soho square districts, al
though owning to a large French popu-
lation, possess hardly a trace of the
flavor or mien that distinguishes the
quarter the English frequent in Paris,
and it is not fifth the size.
To speak broadly, Paris has within
it's walled borders a little London of
many thousand persons-not squalid
and impoverished, but boasting SPLEEN
did mansions, fine shops, hotels
churches, hospitals and libraries, and
all these to such an extent that it is
difficult to believe one is not in the
British capital itself
The inhabitants of this colony might
roughly be catalogued as follows: Re
tired people and gCntlefolk who have
seen better days, those who desire to
have their children educated in the Ian
guage, business people, authors, artists,
students journalists and professional
men, those who have the bes6 of private
reasons for living out of England and
cranks, which term includes certain in
dividuals who for some cause or other
have developed a feeling of hatred for
the land OF their birth Nearly all are
exiles of their own accord.
On Sunday the elite of the English
| colony turns out to the Church of the
Embassy in the Rue Aguesseau. Here

was formerly a Leytonstone incumbent,
has preached, and here a collection bag
goes regularly round, and is as regular

"Travelers often make their boast of
Swiss mountains on the ground that

One Of the places in our neighborhood
which is Stunned alike by saint and
sinner is the old spring near our town,
in Logan county, known as the Blue
hole. Though legendary, the story /
shall relate of this spring is true, for it
has been corroborated by the former
generation, by the older men Of the
present century According to this
story, when the Shaker village at South
Union was first established by few
venturesome Though hardy pioneers, a
member Of the sect was dispatched on
horseback to put the money i'll a safe in
the county capital
When the treasure bearer reached the
spring, he rode his horse in to give il
water, but rider and animal were swal
lowed up, never to rise again. 1t is sai6
that the Shakers friends used as much
as 500 feet of rope III AN attempt to re
cover the body and coin, but never
struck bottom. l myself have heard ole
men say they bave tried to find the bot
tom Of the spring by using hundreds o
feet of cord and lead sinker, but with
out success. Auburn (Ky.l News.

Things Which Have Slipped From Her
Grasp In Three Hundred Years.
Macaulay drew this picture of the
power of Spain 800 years ago:
The empire of Philip II was undoubt-
eddy one of the most powerful and
splendid that ever existed in the world.
1t is no exaggeration to say that during
several years his power over Europe
was greater than even that of Napoleon.
In America his dominions extended on
both sides of the equator into the tenn
perate zone. There is reason to believe
that his annual revenues amounted, in
the season of his greatest power, to a
sum ten times as large as that which
England yielded to Elizabeth. He had a
standing army of so, 600 troops when
England did not have single battalion
in constant pay He held, what no 9th
er prince in modern times has held, the
dominion both of the land and the sea.
During the greater part of his reign he
was supreme on both clements His sol
diers marched up to the capital of
France; his ships menaced the shores of
England. Spain had what Napoleon de-
sired in vain-ships, colonies and com
merce.
She long monopolized the trade OF
| America and of the Indian ocean. All
the gold of the west and all the spices
of the east were received and distribut-
ed by her. Even after the defeat Of the
armada English statesmen continued
to look with great dread ON the mari
time power of Philip Whoever
wishes to be well acquainted with the
morbid anatomy of governments, who
ever wishes to know how great states
may be made feeble and wretched,
