HIS EASY LESSON.
How a Cleveland Man Learned All
the French lie Needed.

Two Cleveland men were talking Of
going abroad. At least one of them
wants to go, and the other has already
heen. And they talked of a trip from
these two points of view:
1T Is astonishing" said the man
who has already been there, what a
limited vocabulary will answer all real
ly needful purposes in Paris. You don't
require but a couple of hundred words
to get along nicely"
Indeed" said the other man.
Yes. All you've got to do is to set
to work and find out what you are like
ly to talk about-asking questions of
policemen, you know, and calling for
things at restaurants. That is, every
thing really important"
That's a good idea," said the man
who wants to go.
"Nes. Now / don't profess to be
anything of a French scholar, but I
got along first rate. My pronunciation
is off color and don't get the words
just right. but they seemed to under
stand me. Here, I'll give you few
expressions that helped me a good
| deal"
Thanks" said the man who wants to
60.
"If Frenchman asks you to take a
drink"
How will 1 know that he is asking
me to take a drink"
"Oh, that's easy. Frenchmen express
so much by their gestures, you know.
Now if he asks you to take drink,
and you want to refuse"
whats that?"
Q 20 tolx N
drink"
We'll go on"
"You must bow politely and say-let
| me see-'merci non.'"
"I don't think / could learn to say
| that" remarked the man who wants
| to go.
"Pshaw, it's dead easy. 'Merci non.
| But IL you prefer to accept the drink
Yes, yes"
You say-now, what is it?-oh, yes
'merci pia.'"
II can learn that all right" said the
| man who wants to go.
"Of course you can. If you don't
want the drink you say 'Merci non;' II
you do want it you say Merci pia.'
Never mind about the 'merci non.'
"Why not?"
| cause tnere 5 no use ol my iodulns
my memory with words never intend
to use-'merci pia' is good enough fol
me-"
| The man who has been there saw tbs
| point.
Have something with me-" he smil
| ingly remarked.
"Merci pia," said the man who want!
to 80.
And they walked away arm in arm

THE PAY OF PARLIAMENTS.
Beers the Best Paid but Our Senators
Have Valuable Prequisities.
From the Sun.

tNc Suu.
So far as payments in hard cash go,
the brawny burglers of the Transvaal
are decidedly the best off. Quite re-
Gently the Bier parliament increased
the salaries of its members to $4,000 a
year for each individual, as they can
very easily afford to do, when one re-
members the big tax tolls which the
unfranchised Uitlanders are compelled
to pay. But In actual emoluments the
United States senator probably re-
ceives a better reward. He gets mile
age and numerous minor fees and privi-
leges, which swell his annual income
materially over it's nominal $4,000.
Great Britain, as every student
knows gives her members of parlia-
ment no salaries. although government
officials for the time being are royalty
paid. The first lord of the treasury
receives $25,00O, as also do the foreign,
home, colonial, Indian, and war sec
retaries. The lord chancellor receives
$50, 900 per annum. But for the NJ. p.
who does not hold office there is naught
