Knew She Was Ugly.

The Duchess of Orleans, mother of the regent who governed France dur ing the monarchy of Louis XIV, was notorious for her ugliness. She wrote:
 From early youth I knew how ugly I was and hated to have people look sharply at me. Ineyer cared for dress. as I knew that diamonds and orna- ments would only attract attention ito me. Once Countess Soissons asked me why I never turned to look at a mirror in passing, as every other woman did. I told her I could not endure the sight of my own face.
 '.As a girl I must have been very ugly. I had little, blinking eyes, pug nose and big mouth with thick lips. My face was broad and fat and my figure short and stumpy. Nobody would have tolerated me except for my good disposition.
 II don't suppose that there was in the whole world another pair of hands as ugly as mine. The king often told me so, and laughed, for was resolv- ed always to laugh at my hideousness. I must confess that had to laugh very often.
 What surprised me most was that any one could fall in love with me. was notoriously the ugliest woman at court, yet was married at 19.
 \ often asked my husband If the sight of me were not repulsive and what he had seen in me that induced him to fall in love with me. I never got satisfactory answer, but think that must have had some other at- fractions which outweighed my ugli- ness"

A Hint fo I,effer wrtfera

The practice of writing private let ters from the first to the third page of letter sheet and then going back to the second page Is matter of taste, but 1t will not do to follow that course of procedure in writing legal docu- ncrts.
 The New York courts have disaIlow- ed the provisions of will written in this way. The testator wrote the will on three sides of folded paper. con- mencing on the first page and continu- ing on the third page, at the top of which was written "second page" and completing and signing the instrument on page marked third page" which. in fact, was the second page of the sheet.
 The court held that the will was not signed at the physical end, as required by the statute. The law does not con- template going backward in order to get forward, and the will was refused probate. The New York court of ap- peals sustained the decision throwing out this form of will.-Boston Herald.

On Raudfnr ArnuA

It is distinct loss that reading Is so badly taught and that so few people know anything about the magic of the poets in their use of sound. We read almost exclusively with the eye, al- though poetry Is primarily intended for the ear. Shakespeare wrote almost exclusively for the ear, and we remain unmoved by the wonderful vibration of his great passages until we hear them.
 Poetry ought always to be heard first and read afterward If the best of Browning is sympathetically and intel ligently interpreted by the voice, the much discussed obscurity Is not in evi- dencs. Many people find, for instance. little difficulty in getting the clear and full significance of '.The Portrait of the Last Duchess when they read It for the first time, but 1t fastens itself instantly on the imagination If 1t is we'll read.
 A good deal of time now devoted to commentaries and text study might proftably be given to reading the text aloud without note or comment. 4 work of art slowly discloses It's full meaning, and familiarity with 1t Is the first condition of comprehension Hamilton Mabie in Harper's Bazar.

A DfscouraRIu Entry.

The performance of the Shakespl..re- an drama of Hamlet" was dragging It. self slowly along.
 The time had come for the appear ance of the ghost.
 There was a slight delay owing to the tardincss of the ghost in respond Ing to its cue.
 The profound stiffness that followed was broken by loud voice in the front row of the main balcony:
 Mamma, there are 37 men down there with round white spots on top of their heads"
 And no stage ghost ever made It's ap- pearance under more discouraging aus pices than the armor clad phantom that came stalking upon the stage at this moment.-Chicago Tribune.

In 1910 we find the following Bow bakeresses accused of selling halfpen- ny loaves deficient In weight: Sarra Foting, Christina Terrice, Got.iyeva Foting, Matilda de Bolingtone. Chris tina Prichet, Isabella Sperling. Alice Pegges, Johanna de Countebrigge and Isabella Pouveste. One wonders why the husbands were not summoned. Tn a similar case In 1916, when Agnes Foting's bread was seized, 1t was "ad- judged that her bread should be for feited and given to the prisoners in Neugate because her husband did not come to avow (own) the bread" Are we to assume that in the absence of the husbands the bread was merely for feited without the infiiction of a fine?
 An indication of the importance of the breadmaking business Is also found In an enactment of the reign of Henry III to the effect that "eyery cart of Bremble Bromley-by -Bow) or Steven. hethe (Stepney) that comes into the city with bread shall pay each day 1 nny.'-Gentleman's Magazine.
