He had visited the exhibition three times
He had intended to stay ten days. On the
fourth, however, an irresistible curiosity
led him to stop his cab in the full Place dc

that pitiful memorial of the French ma
tons mourning for her lost provinces, to
which the faithful bring ever new funereal
w-eaths on anniversary days. Besides be-
ing in bad taste, this stopping before the
statue was unlucky. AS William stuck his
head out of the cab an unknown gentleman
was seen to stare at him with surprise and
lrsiStence. The police escort observed the
movement. One of them, standing behind
the gentleman, overheard him telling a
companion that he had recognized his en-
ptror."

with which to cover cheap lumber. The
next step was when bright Yankee glued

making improvements. and the women took
I'D the task. They found that these veneers
or shavings could be woven into basket
work and curled and twisted into all sorts
of decorations. They soon developed an
industry which is now pursued by several
hundred people in New York. and by many
thousand in the country.
All sorts of wood can be used-in fact,

and the pictures looked well under the
brilliant and somewhat trying illumination.
Congratula atoms were heard on every side,

From Tit Bits.

From TIt-B1ts.
A marriage took place at a little country
church, the couple being elderly people.
The man was very deaf, so deaf that he
could not hear unless some one shouted in
his ear. So when the clergyman read the
words: wilt thou have this woman to be
thy welded wife," etc, the old man did
not understand a word the clergyman said,
but turned to his intended and asked:
What do he say?' (referring to the par
