AS SEEN BY THE COUNT.

Count Fitz James was one of the
parties at st. ! Pierre the day before
the volcano explod ID On the day
of the eruption he and a friend went
out fishing in small boat and we're
about two miles off when the ernp-
tion came. The count states that
from the top Of the cone there was a
burst of white smoke similar to that
at the explosion Of a cannon S charge
and this was Immediately followed
by a rapidly outspreading pail Of
heavy black smoke, overlying a
dense, yellowish cloud, which set
tied rapidly over st. Pierre. Al
most Immediately the air became
exceedingly hot and sitting and
soon ashes began to fall. The
spreading cloud Of black was inn
penetrable to the eye and presently
it brought a considerable degree Of
darkness. The town was obscured
completely, buried in the black
mist. Then the black clouds grad
ually rose, and as it was dissipated
the yellow mist melted into; the at.
mosphere also and as it vanished
there leaped into the air the flames
of St. Pierre burning. The fire.
burned for four or five hours and
st. Pierre was no more.
ITO see ships in the air, says
the count, twas to be stunned at
the forces playing before ones eyes.
| happened to be looking directly
at the cable ship Grappler when the
turmoil reached the water, and I
saw her raised clear of the water, I
should say Is feet, and then come
down and sink instantly" GO
It became so hot that the count
and his companion had to pull away
as hard as they could, landing some
distance southwards. Returning TO
St. Pierre the next day he found
many pathetic scenes, among them
being the body of a girl, laying near
her dolls and small toilet set, all
OF the crockery being fused. He is
of the opinion that st. Pierre will
never be rebuilt, and calls the
eruption the destruction of des-
truction-so complete thatit seemed
original and eternal desolation.

Fifth Century Bronze Found.

At the last sitting Of the Berlin
Academy of Science, says the London
Standard. Professor Mommsen showed
a bronze tablet found on the estate of
Idahof, between Essez and Willamy.
On the plate is an inscription to Vale
rius Dalmatius on his retirement from
a Provincial Governorship. 1t is sup
posed that the place where the tablet
has been found was the native town
Of the Governor, and that there he
owned a villa, for which his former
province had intended the tablet,
which was to be placed under his bust.
Herr Mommsen ascribes the date of
the inscription to the earlier part of
the fifth century 1t is written in
verse, which is almost too direct and
elegant for an author Of Breton ma.

that it was composed by one. The in
fuence of the Aqultalne poet, Anso'

of the mode.
"It is most refreshing to observe the
undisguised enthusiasm and amiability
that has come to be the fashion in So

A powerful motive for suicide. The
husband of a Brooklyn woman wouldn't
take her fishing with him. When he
came back with a fine mess of fish,"
caught or bought, she yelled at him
from the window: You won't leave
me at home any more! I'm going to
end it all! Come upstairsr The
scared fisher few upstairs, only to see
his wife swallow some turpentine and
tumble on the floor. There may be an
edifying moral here for married fish
ermen, but We cite the case only as
one Of a great number, remarks the
New York Sun. People do themselves
to death for nothing, for anything and
don't hold their lives at a pins fee.

Professor q. w. Huffcut, of CornaJ
University, in a recent address said.
''When it is considered that the last
census disclosed that there were al.
ready in 1900 over 114,OOO lawyers in
the United States-more than in any
other profession save medicine and
teaching-it will be seen with aston
ishment and perhaps dismay, that the
schools last year had in course Of
preparation about one-eighth as many
more. New York City is credited with
5000 lawyers, and yet the New York
City schools had 2OOO law students in
attendance last year. Startling as
these figures may seem, it must be re.
membered that assuming that $500
students, or one-fourth Of the total en-.
rolment, were graduated each year, il
would take about thirty-three years,
or a full generatipon, to replace the

Curious ROYAL Customs.

In the domains of royalty, says the
London Tattler the rigid observance
Of ancient customs is not altogether
without its humorous aspect. In the
Spanish court it is the custom on the
birth of royal infant to place the off
spring Of royalty upon a silver tray
and thus tender the child to its father,
who eXclaims, at is a Prince" or
Princess, as the case may be. In
Russia the Gar when going out for a
drive, must on no account permit any
one to know beforehand what road he
intends to take; as the drive pro.
crosses the driver is directed where
to go. In both the Russian and Aus.
trian courts no dish must be placed a
second time at the royal table, even
though it had not been touched the
first time 1t was served. Our own
court is freer than any other from
such customs, which are usually re-
tained at the sacrifice of common
sense. The sound common sense
which is as characteristic Of King
Edward as it was of his mother has
always been opposed to antiquated
ceremonials at court.

Upon your cheek he's glued;
