In Justin McCarthy's "Reminis-
cences" there is story about Thomas
Carlyle and his friend Allingham, the
poet and essayist, one of the gentlest
Of men. One thing that would never
have occurred to any of his friends as
possible was the chance of his taking
on himself to dispute with Carlyle.
But once when Carlyle was denouncing
an English statesman he gently urged
that something might be said on the
other side. "Eh, William dillingham;"
Carlyle broke forth, you're just about
the most disputatious man ever met.
Eth, man, when you're in one of your
humors you'd just dispute about any
thing"
Mrs. sallie Marshall Hardy, who is
descendant of Chief Justice Marshall,

Washington recently and was intro
duced to Justice Harlan by a function
airy Of the court. She was then seated
under the bust Of her distinguished an
cestor, and Justice Harlan whispered
to Chief Justice Fuller: ''That little
woman there under Marshall's bust is
his great-granddaughter." The chief
justice looked toward the little woman
and then said: "Tell her am afraid
the bust may fall on her." I'm not
afraid" returned Mrs. Hardy; moth

When Sir John Steel the noted Eng

me what you were doing before, say,
the battle OF Salamanca? Were you

duke, in evident scorn. IF you really

ding, at least in certain provinces, the
brides youngest brother goes to in
quire after her and to take a present
from her mother of a bottle of hair
oil. This is a custom so ancient that
none know the origin thereof. No fur
ther communications take place be-
tween the bride and her family for
three months, when her mother sends
a sedan chair and an invitation to visit
her. If there has been neither a birth
nor a death in her husbands or in her
mothers house for 100 days she goes
and makes a short stay at her old
home. This visit over, she cannot see
her mother again until after her first
child is born, and not then, should the
child be a girl. Even then, 4tf lthere
has been a death in either family the
visit cannot be made. and there have
been many instances where a mother
an6 daughter living very near each
other have not met for years.

morning in the attempt to distract his
thoughts from Gabrielle and DR.. de Blois

has no appetite-only a burning thirst up
on him, and he rushes into the first bar he
comes across to satisfy it. 1t happens to
be the bar of the Hotel Belgique. The

relation of his that they have the honor
of housing at the Hotel Belgique at that
