Ellstory of the Pocket tlandkerchlef

Until the reign of the Empress jose
phine a handkerchief was thought in
France so shocking an object that lady
would never have dared to use it before
anyone. The word, even, was carefully
avoided In refined conversation. An ac-
tor who would have used handker-
chief on the stage, even in the most tear
full moment Of the play, would have been
numerically hissed; and it was only in
the beginning of the present century that
q celebrated actress, Mile. Duchesnois,
dared to appear with handkerchief in
her hand. Having to speak Of this hand
kerchief In the course of the piece, she
could never summons courage enough to
call 1t by its true name, but referred to
1t as Eight tissue"
A few years later q translation Of one
Of Shakespeare's plays, by Alfred de
Vigny, having been acted, the word hand
kerchief was for the first time on the
stage, amid cries of indignation from ev-
cry part Of the house.
1t Is doubtful IL even today French la
dies would carry handkerchiefs If the
wife Of Napoleon had not given the signal
for adopting them.
The Empress Josephine, although
really lovely, had bad teeth. TO conceal
them she was In the habit Of carrying
small handkerchiefs, adorned with costly
laces, which she constantly raised grace
fully to her lips. OF course, all the ladies

A Tribute to Senator rlorriIl.

EXPIRES. White of Cornell Univer-

has paid a notable tribute to the
late Senator Morrill,. Referring to
Mr.. Morrill's service in drafting and
pushing through Congress in 1862
the law which established agricultu-
raj colleges in every state, he says;
1T isin my opinion a service which
deserves to be ranked, aud which
future historians will rank, with
those of Hamilton in advocating the
constitution, Of Jefferson in acquir-
ing, Louisiana, and of Clay in giving
US truly American policy. =
1t was the darkest period Of the civil
war, and yet full of confidence in the
future of the republic, and largely,
indeed, to better that future be intro
duced and carried this great measure.
Since the Romans quietly bought
and sold the lands on which the
Carthaginians were encamped in the
neighborhood of the Eternal City,
there has been no more noble exhibi.
