SOCIAL TACT.
A Noted Frenehman who Was an
Adept Mt Smoothing
Things over.

Mons. Challemel-Lacour, q distin
guishcd member of the French acad-
emy who died lately, was noted for his
tact and readiness in social emergen-
cies. Both were severely tried upon
one occasion. NJ. Challemel-Lacour
was sent as ambassador from France
to the Swiss confederation. lie called
in due form on his arrival upon the
president. The servant who opened the
door said that his excellency was IN
the cellar bottling wine, but that the
visitor could come in and wait. The
ambassador hung up his overcoati in the
hall and went into the parlor. Pres
emily the Swiss ruler hustled in.
AN ugly job, monsieur drying his
hands; ian ugly job! But always bot
tie my own wine. Pardon my coat also.
1t is a poor fit" glancing down. ut is
my sons to tell the truth. ] hurried it
on without looking at it,"
The ambassador bowed and smiled, 1t
was his own coat.
The interview being over, he went
home shivering. He sent messen-
ger the next day for his coat. which he
had hung up in the hail.
OF all the qualities once essential to
sovereign the ono most useful now is
tact. Queen Margherita of Italy, who
belongs TO house trained to kingcraft
for more than thousand years, is said
to be wonderfully skillful in dealing
with social difficulties. An incident
which occurred at one of her drawing
rooms illustrates her readiness and
delicacy.
The persons who are to be presented
at the Roman court are arranged in a
large semicirclein the throneroom. The
queen enters and passes around the
line, attended by a chamberlain, who
names ep~L roIsvu, uuuIuB usually q
word or two TO give the queen some idea
of their claim TO notice. She asks q
question or makes remark to each
and passes on.
On this occasion there was in line 0
young man from South America whose
embarrassment showed itself in pale
cheeks and terrified glances as the
queen drew nearer. At last she reached
him, and stopped. lie heard his name
saw her smile. There was roaring il
his ears; his knees shook. Every eye
was bent upon him with amused inter
est his terror was so perceptible.
From Brazil?" she asked "AnC
what town in Brazil is your home, sig
nor?"
'l-your majesty don't know!" hi
gasped.
The whole circle smiled; but the
queens face was as calm as marble
You mean that our beautiful Italy al
ready has made you forget your home
All, signor, you are skillful courtier
You fatter us too much!" and playfully
shaking her fan at him, she passed on
leaving him wondering how he came t
make so brilliant response, while tn,
crowd also looked at him, respectfully
bewildered, also.-Youth's Companion

Bu.Ine.s and Prnyers.

In one of the suburbs west of Chicago IS a
grocer who, although a devout ckurchgoer
and faithful citizen, has the reputation Of
figuring closer in his business dealing than
any other man in the village. His enemies
say that he once bit a coffee bean in two to
make weight, and that he stops his clock at
night to save wear and tear on the wheels,
The grocer lives above his store, and his
home is connected with his place Of business
BY pair Of stairs indoors. The grocer's son
takes the late watch in the store, and every
night at nine o'clock the good man opens the
door at the top of the steps and the fellow

MESSAGE CAUSES DISCUSSION.
Views on the Gold Standard and the Philip
pines Significant.

A Washington special says: The
two features of President Mckinley
message which are being discussed in
Washington are first his strong words
for the single gold standard, which is
construed as pledgins the republican
party absolutely to its defense and to
admit of no equivocation in the cam
paign next year; and second, his ut
terances as to the disposition of The
Philippines, these being construed as
meaning permanent retention. 1t is
noted that while he does not openly
declare for permanent retention that
IS the whole trend of his utteraDces.
He does specifically condemn the
proposition Of independence, under a
protectorate, which the republicans
consider the Bryan programme Th?se
two features are the ones principally
discussed by those who crlticise the
document. Some stastician has dis
covered that this is the longest mes
sage ever unloaded on congress by any
president.
