why Did nj. Casimir Perier Resign?
It was remembered that NJ. Casimir
Perier had resigned the presidency of
the republic about the time of the
Dreyfus trial, on the ground that he
could not endure the combination of
moral responsibility and Of powerless-
ness. The tale told by lie Rappel
was, that NJ. De Munster, the German
minister, had called upon the presi-
dent and said that he was instructed
by his sovereign to give assurance that
Dreyfus had not, either in France or
in Belgium, nearly or distantly, been
in relation with the secret service of
the German government. The ambas-
sador further suggested that one must
be bien naif to believe that diplo-
mat could have thrown into waste
paper basket so importanta document.
Further, it was said that the Emperor
of Germany had addressed an auto
graph letter to thepresident of France,
saying: 81 give you my word of honor
as man that Captain Dreyfus has
never betrayed France to the German
government, and if need should be,
I will give you my word as emperor,
with all the C nsequences thereof"
Finally, NJ. Casimir Perier was de-
clared to have said of the story cit
is not precisely so, thereby confirm
ing the substance by contradicting
only the detail. Now if the president
did, in fact, receive these communica-
tons, he could do absolutely nothing
except refer them to his ministers,
and when the ministers refused to act
on them he was in false and humili-
ating position, out of which he might
naturally get by precisely that act of
resignation which had seemed so sim
gular. Probabilities seem to favor
the truth of this story, and if it was
false, there could be no objection to
contradicting it. In the lola case
Casimir Perier was on the witness
stand, but gave oat nothing of inter-
est. He said that it was his duty not
to tell the whole truth. Atlantic.

The rate of mortality in war is not
as high as many imagine, and, such as
it is, it is caused more by sickness
and bad management than by actual
battle. In the Napoleonic wars the
British losses were five and two-thirds
per cent. year, the two-thirds Of one
per cent. arising from casualties in
battle, and the five per cent. from
sickness and other causes. Of course,
sanitary conditions are now much
better, but disease is still more pO-
tent than the sword. In the Franco
German war of 1901 the losses
were about five per cent. Of all
engaged, and we're divided pretty
evenly between battle and disease.
The rate of loss among officers was
much higher than among the men.

A queer exhibition has been opened
in Berlin, that of the Vegetarian soci-
ETY., in which sixty children were
shown who have never touched other
nutriment than vegetarian. There
was q speaker there to complete the
demonstration that vegetarian diet is
the only one suitable for children
from the physical, intellectual and
moral points of view.

The human system can endure heat
OF 212 degrees, the boiling point of
water, because the skin is bad con-
ductor, and on account of the perspira-

It was Morton-I mean Montagu
Morton, the well-known dealer in pre-
cious stones who told me this story.
l was talking to him in his dingy Of.
flee and was struck by the almost in
credibly careless way in which he
dealt with some valuable diamonds.
Yes, he owned that he was careless.
He assured me that he never registered
any letter or parcel, however valuable,
and yet had never lostanything in the
post. He did not keep a light burn
ing all night OF use an electric alarm
Of any kind or give any special orders
to the police. Yet he never lost any
thing by burglary. "And yet this
place is perfectly simple-outer door,
passage, inner door to clerks room,
opening into my own Office, which in
turn opens into the strong room. It's
wonderful that the burglars never try
it."
I suggested that he had used pre-
cautions of his own-watchmen, pri-
yate detectives.
Montagu Morton smiled. "Ah!" he
said. Ever hear of Roynal?"
| have heard of him. Seeing that
Roynal advertised his detective agency
in every morning paper every day it
would have been difficult not to hear
of him, and l said so.
Montagu Morton unlocked and
opened drawer in his writing table.
He took out leather tray, divided
into compartments, and from one Of the
compartments produced green stone,
which he handed me. "What do you
make Of that?"

"All green stones are emeralds to
you," said Morton. cit is not al

of opal - and worth whatever can
get for it. I would give ct or G3 fol
it myself, but then I never give what
a thing is worth otherwise I could
not live. However, thot is not the
point; the point is thG, if it had not
been for Roynal the stone would not
have been in my possession today"
And then Montagu Morton told me
the story which here tell again.

the story which here tell again.
When a grocer has his silk umbrella
stolen by tramp he goes to the po-
lice When an EnglisL countess
lends pearl necklace to her sister-in-
law and the sister-in-law returns it
with the four principal pearls re-
moved and excellent limitations substi-
tuted, the countess goes o Roynal.
She wants her pearls just Us much as
the grocer wants his umbrella-prob-
ably even more-but the countess
does not want publicity and scandal.
Roynal, engaged on these pearls,
called on Morton for some information,
which Morton gave him with his GUS
tomary good nature. AS he talked,
Roynal saw an opportunity for extern
sion of business. He mostly divided
his time between complaining he had
too much to do and endeavoring to
get still more. He rarely worked on
case himself; he had any amount Of
assistants, clever naturally and trained
by himself to do the actual work. It
was only case of exceptional difficulty
and Importance that would secure Roy
nails personal attention.
1t having become quite obvious to
Roynal that Montagu Morton must be
frequently and urgently in need of a
detective agency to take care of him,
he took especial pains not to mention
the fact at the time. But on the fol-
lowing day he instructed an emissary
and despatched him. The emissary
was very fashionably dressed and in
face was a little like Napoleon. And
the card he sent in to Mr.. Morton, by
the hands of Mr.. Morton's clerk, bore
the name of Mr.. Michael Hayvers and
in the left-hand corner 'Mr. Roynal's
Detective Agency" Introduced into
the presence OF Mr.. Morton, Mr.. Hay
vers began hesitatingly.
He was sure that Mr.. Morton would
be glad to hear that the real pearls had
been recovered and that Mr.. Roynal
was taking them to the countess that
morning. Mr.. Roynal had desired
Mr.. Hayvers to thank Mr.. Morton
very warmly for the valuable informa-
ton which he had so kindly given.
Mr.. Morton said politely that he
was happy to have been of any use.
'It has since struck Mr.. Roynal
that his detective agency would be of
constant use to you, Mr.. Morton, in
your business.
"Yes? And in what way?"
GIN tracing the history of any gem
when you thought that necessary. In
finding out the financial position of
any purchaser far more quickly, surely
and delicately than from the usual
methods. In exercising the closest
supervision over any workman en-
trusted with the cutting or setting of
valuable gems. In representing you
at auctions and manipulating the auc-
lion in your favor-in thousand
ways that would save you time, trouble
and expense.
"There are only two objections.
Firstly, your terms are known to be
very high
"When we take up single difficult
case for o member of the aristocracy
our terms are very high. When we
work regularly for man of business
much of the work being the merest
routine-ow charges are very moder-
ate, exceptionally moderate"

by no means sure that you can take

of myself. You might bungIe. In a
