order "A cheval, messieurs, a cheval."
 In the company of the Cirque, in
 which Galland was playing, there was an unfortunate actor who had passion for gambling The moment he finished
 his part he would run to the little cof-
 fee house near by where he would lose all the money he had and most of what
 he expected into the bargain. He used
 to play the part of an old grenadier who was killed every evening about ten | o'clock.
 l One evening, when a big game was on
 in the coffee house, he requested Gal land to hurry the piece little and give
 him chance to be in time for the card battle. He was Killed at about the usual time, and lay dead" upon the boards anxiously waiting for the gene | ral-in- chief Galland, to give the order for the removal of the dead bodies from the battlefield Galland gave the order as usual; but when the supers reached the body of the grenadier Galland com manded them to stand back. Don't touch that man!'' said he, q don't be- lieve he is dead!'
 "Oh, you" hissed the dead grenadier, And you know I am in hurry to get off"
 But Galland in solemn tones re- marked: Tt is bad enough to have to bury the dead, without running the risk of burying our heroes who still breathe!" The supers went off aston- ished and during the entire act the un- fortunate gambler had to remain grind ing his teeth on the field of battle. When the drop fell he rose in rage and wanted to kill the general for mak- ing him late for the game.
 But it was not among the actors alone that men were found who endeavored to look like Napoleon. On the boulevards and in the streets people often laughed at the fools who tried to ape Napoleon. In the time of the second empire there was fellow in Paris who succeeded in copying Napoleon III. in an extraordi- nary manner. He not only wore the same kind of mustache and imperial, but he managed to initiate the dreamy and vague expression of his models eyes. When he passed along the street, walking just like the emperor, people turned round to look at him, thinking that His Majesty was out for an airing. Nothing delighted the fool more than to be saluted with respect by people in the street. Even after the 4th of September he stuck to his hobby and puzzled many Parisians. s.-Courrier des Etats Unis.

nose was long and deformed, and the
 way that Coquelin managed to repro
 duce it is we'll known. But the nose of | the emperor was aquiline, of a purely
 antique beauty, and just how Coquelin
 will manage to put it before the foot
 lights Is a puzzle. Naturally he has
 the nose of his trade, well turned up
 and possessing the energetic nostris of i an orator. The trumpet-shaped nose
 might do very we'll for an ordinary
 warrior, but not for a Napoleon. So
 CoqueIin will be obliged to stick his facial appendix into a false affair that will give him the profile of the great
 French Caesar-a delicate and difficult
 piece of work which the artist will doubtless bring, to perfection. After having sought in vain through all Par is for an actor with head that resem- l bled more or less that of Napoleon, Coqueln determined at last to usurp the throne and become the emperor
 himself
 In old times when the cirque of the
 Boulevard du Temple presented militia ry pieces every year in which the i'm perial epopee was given out in slices, there were plenty of Napoleons. The choice was the only embarrassment. There were actors who looked like Bonaparte when he was first consul, others who looked like Napoleon at Wagram and Jena, and others still who resembred Napoleon at Saint He lena. Almost all the young actors en- deavored to look like Napoleon, be- cause a little success In the effort was always rewarded by an engagement. A few were contented if they managed to look like Junot, Murat or even Mas sena, but they were the least ambi- tious, or men whose statures were too tall or too low.
 The most celebrated of all the Napo- Icons was Colbert, an artist of consid- erable talent, who had the good for tune to be born with features wonder fully like those of the visitor of Eylau. People who then remembered the em- peror said that the actor had even his very gait. By constantly playing the part he acquired the airs and manner isms of Napoleon. He might often be seen on the Boulevard walking along with his hands behind his back and sa- luting his friends in imperial style In truth he was the great mans double In private life he loved to talk like the hero When he had to appear in a new piece he would say: T hope this even- ing will be my Austerlitz and not my WaterlooH And when he spoke of re- tiring from the stage he would always say, When I shall be at Saint Hee- nal" One evening" as he was passing the Place Vendome he stopped to gaze upon the great men in bronze, and one of his friends heard him mur- mur, Well. no matter my gray over- coat is more elegant than that fellows"
 Edmond Galland, who was admirable in the role of Murat commenced his ca reer on the stage by playing Napoleon, but he was too tall and never could as- sume the classic pose. He was fond of playing dominoes, and when it was his turn to lead he would always give the

In the course of the Iowa tests woman who is of great local repute as cook made the following judg- ments: Raw potato chopped she called acorns, boiled pumpkin she said was something sweet and flat, fresh pear she called sweet berry, slightly fer mented; roast pork she called boiled beef. raw turnip chopped she called cabbage sweetened, raw apple was grape juice, roast turkey was called beef, and horseradish she said was something she had never tasted.

THE SANDT ENGLISH.

The French have been charged with having queer notions about the Eng fish, and the English have also been charged with having queer notions about the French. A French notion about the English is just now conspic- uous. According to a French publica- ton, Science pour Tous, in many Eng fish houses, lon the table by the side of the pepper box and the salt box Is placed a sand boX-a little receptacle filled with very fine sand, as fine as -four, which is sprinkled over all the food. A medical journal has advised dyspeptics to adopt this remedy. The sand, mingling with the alimentary mass, renders it less compact and makes digestion more easy This has become the fashion, and since the Eng fish have begun to eat sand it is cer- tain that French snobs who initiate their neighbors across the channel like monkeys will soon be devouring it. Be- sides, gravel for digestive purpose has been in use by ostriches for long time.''
 The English are certainly full of sand,

unlike. most forms of this finish, but the echo of it upon the skirt was the gowns most striking feature This banding consisted of lettuce green liberty satin edged with ivory lace. Collar and belt were from the satin, and the shoulder finish matched the other trimming.
 A severe tailor gown of skirt and jacket is a highly desirable item in a summer wardrobe. As it will last until late fall, it is worth some sacrifice in getting. Dark blue of the navy order is best, and let the jacket be of reefer shape. Then the costume will serve yachting purposes, with shirt waist un- der the jacket, as we'll as for seaside or country wear in general. If the blue selected be dark enough, the costume will be suitable for travelling and street wear. A change of at least Six wash shirt waists is also very desifable. Sleeves are tighter than last season and fronts are less bloused. The colors of the half-dozen should be mixed and not too conspicuous, though if you can af- ford dozen, three of them may be pronounced. Have white pique stocks with scarfs to match the shirt. Count at least three of the six waists we'll chosen in white. of pique, linen or per cale.
 A tailor rig of brown crash, with pique waistcoat. will be useful for hot weather travelling. A long dust cloak of black taffeta modishly planned will also be very useful, and shoulder cape of some light colored cloth will com 6n uJrn nc n a wardrobe. FLORETTE.

 According to the gossip behind the scenes Coquelin is now training for the role of Napoleon in the play Plus que Reine," which will shortly be brought out at the Porte Saint-Martin. After the reincarnation of Cyrano de Berger ac, the great actor aspires to that of Napoleon I. But the nose prevents a great difficulty. Cyrano de Bergeracs s

THE DEPA RT,MENT STORE.

The department store will continue to do business in Chicago, Judge Chetlain having decided that under the city char ter the city council had no authority to pass an ordinance prohibiting the sale of any meats, fish, butter, cheese, lard, vegetables or any other provisions in the same store ''where dry goods, clothing, jewelry and drugs are sold" The court decided that the city council had exceeded its powers and that there was no reason in public health, morals or safety or even in the public welfare, why provisions and jewelry should not be dispensed under the same roof.
 The department store will probably be found to be legal wherever the test is fairly made. It is certainly very con- venient and useful. The Chicago Times Herald makes a rather neat point when 1t says that the department store is nothing but the development of the general store that used to stand at the cross roads and that carried everything from hogshead of molasses to a cam brio needle. It adds: The remembrance of that general store rises to confute all claims that the department store is

The Portland Oregonian says: A man who has long been identified with the fishing interests of Astoria was in Port land yesterday, and gives it as his opin- ion that the salmon canning industry of the Columbia will soon be thing of the past The business of exporting frozen and pickled salmon has been in- creasing rapidly, and last year it is es- timated used one-third of the catch, thus materially reducing the pack. The men engaged in freezing and pickling salmon can outbid the cannerymen for fish, For instance they have of late been paying to 10 cents per pound for salmon, until within the last few days, when larger catch of fish broke the market and reduced the price to 6 or 6 1-2 cents. Cannerymen can never af- ford to pay such prices for fish to pack in competition with Alaska canneries. MT. Schmidt, of New York, who has been in the business of shipping cold storage fish for several years, is putting up an extensive cold-storage plant, and several others are figuring on going into the business of freezing and pick ling salmon for export.

A Minnesota enactment requires for eign corporations doing business in the State to comply with the law governing domestic corporations. This means that they must file articles of incor- poration, pay fee amounting to about $525 on each $1000,000 of capital invested in the State, and maintain business office and resident agent. Banks were exempted, as their money may be needed to move the wheat crop and exemption was extended also to the Du- luth shipping interests, to manufactur- CTS of canned goods and of agricultural implements, and to breeders of fancy stock.
