f0R WEARING TROUSERS.

In France women are allowed to wear
mule attire; but they must pay Tor the
privilege. The amount OF the tax which
a woman must pay for wearing trousers
is about so year: but her Willingness
TO pay the tax does not insure her the
right to wear these garments. As mat
ter OF fact. the right is conferred by the
government as a tribute OF great merit,
and the honor conferred X something
akin 40 that of the coveted ribbon OF
the Legion of Honor, says the Philadel-
phia Record. The only women to whom
the right To wear male attire has been
given are George Sand. Rosa Bonheur.

Two birds that once sang sweetly
Within a sylvan shade
Gave fair hopes TO a lover
And gladness TO a maid!
They strolled beneath the branches
And sat beneath the boughs.
And thrilled by love-songs DER them,
Exchanged undying vows.
The songs that charmed the lovers
Ring through the wood no more;
The sylvan shade is silent
Where Joy was loud before.
The birds are gone. The lovers
Love not! Last night he sat
And ate one for his supper!
The others on her hat!

STORIES OF
MYTHOLOGY

Extending into the blue waters of the
Mediterranean sea are three peninsulas
Spain in the west and Greece and Italy
in the east. The two latter were, in
many respects, the most important coun-
tries of the ancient world. Greece, the
more easterly, rose first into eminence
Italy, or rather Rome, the seven-hilled
city which conquered Italy, came later
into power, but it was a power much
more extensive and enduring. Neither at
first possessed a large amount of terri

had, south of the Corinthian guf, that
little stretch of land, shaped like null
berry leaf, and known as the Pelopon-
nesus, and north of it strip not much
more extensive. 1t had, besides, g. few
Islands. and its colonists peopled the
north and east Of the Aegean sea, as
well as various parts of Italy. But a peo-
pies greatness is not measured by its
acres, and little Greece attained a dis
tinction which has become the envy of
the world. 1t had sweet singers and deep
thinkers, and rare artists, which wrought
out for it in poetry in books of wisdom
and in marble an immortal name and
fame.
Italy looks on the map like well worn

subdued it. Then she sent out her armies
all over the world. After a while she
saw the world submissive at her feet.

VICTOR HUGO's LETTERS TO Ills

Victor Marie Hugo, the celebrated
French lyric poet and novelist is known

sentences and poetic lines. His published
works are numerous. OdeS and ballads,
romances, dramas, history, etc, flowed
in unceasing streams from MS prolific pen
during a long life. He was peer of
France under Louis Philippe, but was
banished from the country by Louis Ma
poleon, because he opposed the empire.
His most notable book, Les Miserabes,"
appeared in 1862 Hugo was man Of
affection and domestic habits, and his
family love and character is SHOWN in a

ADAUGHTER In HISTORY
The Heroine of LOngstone
Lighthouse.

Her name has gone round the world.
What she did was done in half days
time, but she was the person for the
deed. 1t Is like Arnold Won Winkelried,
who cried that they should make way
for liberty, or like Charlotte Corday, who
cut short the career of the monster
Morat. When the circumstances de-
manded an extraordinary act, the young
heart, seemingly created for such mo-
ment, spraag out to the performance.
All honor the deed, and all rejoice In that
mood Of the world which puts a Grace
Darling and an Alexander both on it's roll
of distinguished people. 1t was on the
morning of Sept. 6, 1898, William Darling,
a lighthouse keeper on one of the Farne
islands, off the coast of Northumberland,
England; discovered vessel on the rocks
a mile out. Nine people were seen to be
alive The tide was favorable to a
passage across the roaring. foaning
strait, but, on the return, different
tide might destroy the rescuers. The
wife and mother argued that it would
be a fatal trip and the father did not
feel that 1t was safe to attempt the jour-
ney. 1t seemed a case of lives for lives.
His daughter Grace, however, insisted,
and, for the first time took her place at
an oar in the hour Of danger. They Were
sturdy, sea people, that father and
daughter, to whom wave and tempest
spoke Familiarity, but their adventure,
viewed even by the mariners Of a bleak
and stornl-swept coast, was both heroic
and fortunate Their little boat evaded
many score dangers and saved nine
lives. Fifty-two had persisted. There
was a cry of admiration-of Great Brit
ain praising her daughter. Painters made
the scene a household ornament. She
was written up in newspapers and books.
Suitors vainly begged the hand of the
modest heroine Gifts flowed in upon
her and a fortune in money, which she
lived only four years to enjoy. She was
born in Yorkshire and lived from 1915 to

He PLEHSED ! How Boy Secured
Mr.. STONE / usl p,' Advanced n''a a.' ''''.

The young man who does just as little
as possible for an employer sometimes
wonders why he is not given higher
position in the business house In which
he is employed, when a less brilliant
companion, who works for another es-
adjustment, is advanced very rapidly.
The reason probably is that the less
brilliant companion is more faithful, and
works conscientiously. always seeking to
do more than enough barely to secure his
salary Somebody sees AMI appreciates
his work, and when the opportunity
comes better place is given him, which
ne fills with equal faithfulness. An IL
lustration Of this may be found In the
following true incident:
A boy about sixteen years of age had
been seeking employment in one of our
large cities. He had looked vainly for
two weeks and was well nigh hopeless OF
getting any work to do, when, one after
noon, he entered a store kept by gen.
