THEY GAVE THE BALLS.
And the People Danced to Pay the Debts
of Louis XIV.

And the People Danced to Pay the Debts
of Louis XIV.
In 1712 Louis XIV favored the Opera,
then established in the first sale of the
Palais Royal (there have been two)
with a special mansion for the better
accommodation Of its administration,
archives and rehearsals. This hotel is
situated i'll the Rue Nicaise. The build
ing was generally designated under the
name of "Magasia, " whence the term
"Filles du Magasin" mot "de maga-
sin'') subsequently not only TO the fe
male choristers and supers, but the fe
male dancers themselves. 1t so happen
ed that the king forgot TO pay his archi
tects and workmen. In order to sat Ny
them the Chevalier de BOUillOn cOncelN-
ed the idea of giving balls III the opera
house, for which idea he received an
annual pension Of 6, 900 francs. He was
ra;1, t-t ~ ltTC's dch+o~s ~or0 not.
for, although the letters patent were
granted somewhere about the beginning
of 1918, not a single ball had been given
when the most magnificent of the BOur
bon sovereigns descended to his grave.
One day, shortly after his death,
d'Argenson, the then lieutenant of po-
lice, was talking TO Louis nephew,
Philippe d'Orleans, the regent. Mon
seigneur," he said, There are people
who go about yelling that his majesty
of blessed memory was bankrupt and
a thief. I'll have them arrested and
have them flung into some deep under
ground dungeon. "You don't know
what you are talking about" was the
answer. "Those people must be paid,
and then they IL cease to below" " but
how, monseigneur?'' Lets give the
balls that were projected by Bouillon. "
So said, so done, and the people danced
to pay Louis XIV's debts, as, accord ng
to Shadwell, people drank to fill Charles

The kings most faithful subjects we
In IS service are not dull
We drink to show our loyalty

nothing about it beyond what I have seen
in the papers, 1 should imagine Mr. Sobral
far too prudent to say anything calculated
to offend brothers in arms. At the same
time / should state that on the 24th of jan
uary last Captain Sobral ceased to be
member of this legation. according to royal
DEGREES, which gazetted as his successor,
Lieutenant Ramon Carraza Reguera."
Owing to tho royal decree relieving Cap
tain Sobral, it is said. he at present occu-
pies the position merely of a private citi-
zen He is now in New York meeting his
old naval friends on the Vizcaya but his
official status as Spain's naval attache to
tie legation is said to have terminated
when the decree was gazetted last month.
IT Is a usual formality to notify the depart
ment of such a change, but owing TO the
exciting events of recent days this notifica-
ton of the Spanish decree was not con-
veyed to the authorities here at the time it
occurred although the fact has now been
made known with the information that
Captain Sobrals services with the legation
ended Jan. "a last.
Mr.. Du Bose received no advices OF i'm
portance from Havana to-day. He ex-
pressed entire satisfaction with the plans
by which the divers We're operating, and
said there was no justification for the talk
about friction. Perfect harmony existed,
he said, and on both sides, so far as he
could see, there was every disposition to
give the amplest facilities for investigation.
NJ. Du Bose feels that the assembling of the
court of inquiry at Havana tomorrow is
q,iite desirable, owing to the rapid rate at
which the hull of the Maine is sinking in
the soft bottom of the harbor.

doubts if there Is one in Cuba large enough
IF the bottom of the boat is so injured
that it can't be patched up said he, 1.-THE
Maine will have to be lifted bodily out of
the water, big Job. If the hole can be
temporarily patched so that the vessel can
again be made water tight many di slculties
are removed. There are two ways of raising
a sunken shio-by means of pontoons or
caissons, the modern way, and by means OF
casks, the old way. Before the actual lift
ing of the Maine begins the wreckers would
tighten it as much as possible by removing
the guns and everything movable. That
done, the preliminary work for the raising
may be begun. One of two ways can be
chosen, by means of Jugs or with chains. If
the boat rests on a rocky bottom Tugs will
have to be resorted to. These can be driven
into the side of the ship in sufficient number
to stretch cable and hold it taut. Casks
can then be fastened to the cable. That is
the old way. But if, instead of resting on
rocky bottom, the Maine sank in mud it
might be possible to stretch chains under it,
These chains can then be fastened to COM
pressed air pantoons They are, in reality,
huge casks of iron Before being sunk
they are filled with water, air is introduced
and the pontoon rises a distance equal to
the amount of water displaced. This opera
ton can be repeated until the boat is
brought to the surface"

DESERTED THE SHIP.
Grew and Passengers Did Not Deem
Her SeawOrthy.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Feb. 20.-The
steamer North Pacific. from Seattle Ell
route to Alaska, is still here and is likely
to remain for some time. Half way across
the straits of Fuca the steamer was forced
to put back on account of the heavy seas,
which caused the steamer to ship large
quantities of water. Then all but three of
the steamers crew deserted her and also
the passengers, who numbered 100. They de-
clined to proceed further on this steamer,
saying they did not deem her seaworthy.
The managers telegraphed to Seattle for
q new crew. Unless prevented by the au-
thorities the managers say that they Will
start north as soon as the new crew ar
riveS and the weather moderates, and that
the passengers who do not want to go can
stay behind, but no money will be re-
funded.
When asked by passengers to prevent
the steamer from continuing its northward
voyage Collector of Customs HueStis said
that as she had been regularly licensed
by the official inspector of boilers and car
ried duly licensed officers, he would not in
terfere.

made, by means of special apparatus, into
the question whether tho consumption OF
small quantities of sugar rendered the tired
muscles capable of renewed exertion. In
order to obtain a practical result the per-
son who was made the subject of the ex-
pertinent was kept totally ignorant of the
object Of the experimenters. One day a
sweet liquid was administered containing
thirty grams of sugar and en- the next day
a similar liquid containing sufficient
amount Of saccharin to render 1t indis-
tingushab}e from the other as regarded
taste. When a very large amount of mus
cular WORK had been performed II was
found that a greater quantity of work could
be got through on the days when sugar
was given than on the days when saccharin
was given. The system had become very
poor in sugar, in consequence of the severe
muscular effort which had previously been
gone through. and hence the administration
of a comparatively small quantity of sugar
had the effect of producing an increased
capability for work.

THE Crime of a Stepmother' is q news
paper heading for the narrative of a re-
cent tragic event Upon the pa rticular
case in question we have no desire 10
gestive of a too common sentiment in re-
gard to women who have all the RESPONSE
bility of motherhood without a mother 8
claim to the obedience and devotion of those
whom they have in maternal care. The po-
sition of stepmother is one of peculiar diff
Guilty, and in some house holds ii is one OF
peculiar trial 1t calls for patience, self
sacrifice and confidence on the part of
both stepmother and stepchildren, and for
good temper and tact in special degree
on the part OF the husband and father.
That so few instances are made known
of stepmothers failing TO do their duty
is signally TO the credit of womanhood.
We read a great deal about the mothers
of great men, but little about their step
mothers; and yet to the stepmother has
often been due the development of genius

LncolnS stepmother one of his biographerS
says: THE presence and smile of a moth
erly face in the cherries cabin radiated
sunshine into every neglected corner. With
true womanly courage and zeal she set TO
work TO make right that which seemed
wrong. The advent of Sarah Bush was
certainly red-letter day for the I.incolns.
She was not only Industrious and thrifty.
but gentle and affectionate. and her newly
haps realized the benign influence OF a
mothers love" This noble woman sur
vived her illustIious stepson.
Sarah Bush was not an exception among
stepmothers. She was probably one of the
large majority, and even among the eX-
ceptional instances that attract public at
tention it might perhaps occasionally or
generally be found that the fault does not
all lie with the stepmother, and that good
intentions may have been defeated and per-
verted by unhappy circumstances.
