The splendid spectacle of great
fete with everyone in costume was
there; the distinction of a rgidly Sc
lected list of spectators was there;
and the privilege of rubbing shoulders
with distinguished artists and no less
distinguished models was there also
and amply. Gavarni, as the world
knows now, was a designer. who
caught Paris life with a light pencil
in the days of Louis Philippe. In his
day he enjoyed enormous vogue, then
lived his later life amid the almost
complete indifference of his contem-
poraries. To-day he is looked upon
as the precious mirror of the gayety
and pathos of romanucism; and it was
to raise money to erect a statue to
him that the admission tickets to this
fete were sold at 40 francs ($S).
For these reasons, if for no others,
good section of Partisan high life
dressed itself in Louis Philippe cos
tunes, paid its money and for one
night frankly reyelled amid students, ,
artists and Bohemians, as in the leg

of society romped as they are said
to have romped at the Opera balls

True Philanthropy,

Few men are better known In the
downtown district of New York than
James Reilly, the man who is almost
an exact counterpart of the late Gen.
Grant. Mr.. Reilly was long connected
with leading navigation company
and is very wealthy. He is now ar
ranging to buy three hearses, which
will be for the free use of the funer-
ais of poor persons, for" says he,
nothing so enrages me as to hear of

Sir Norman Lockyer points out that
The diseasters in Martinique and St.
Vincent occurred at "a well-deiined
sun-spot minimum" and, research hav-
ing shown beyond question that the
most disastrous volcanic eruptions and
earthquakes generally occur, like the
rain pulses in India, round the dates Of
the sunspot minimum and maximum"
he is inclined to accept the theory,
first advanced fifty years ago, that
there is connection between solar
and seismic activity. One would per-
haps expect the neighboring moon to
produce Il more marked effect upon
the earth's surface than the yaster but
more distant sun, and, as matter OF
fact, at the beginning of the second
week in May, when st. Pierre was
overwhelmed, the moon was in the
best possible position relatively to sun
and earth to make her tidal influence
felt. But there are other forces in the
universe besides that of gravity, though
they are not so clearly understood.
1t is known, for instance, that sunspot
periods have an undoubted connection
with Indian rains and Arctic aurorae,
and it would be rash to deny that the
sympathy between sun and plaEet is
more than skin deep.-London Graphic.

: GAYETIES OF PARIS

ours!" howled Latin Quarter voices.
But who are these funereal folk,
alone in black evening dress clothes,
with crepe hanging dismally from
their high silk hats? They look like
undertakers, and they bear a coffin.
The nice girls who walk beside them
are draped in black gauze and wear
long black silk stockings! Two lugu-
brious undertakers bear an immense
funeral wreath; and its inscription
tells the story.
ITO their colleagues who sleep
peacefully, the survivors Of the Hotel
Dieu hospital!" says the inscription.
And the tale is the tale Of one great
hospital that could not make show
ing worthy of itself because of the
indifference of the majority.

A Good Definition.

Ernest Ingersoll is as quick at re-
partee as he is keen in his observation
OF nature. 1t happened some time ago
that his daughter asked him a ques-
tion concerning the difference be-
tween essential and fixed oils. He ex-
planned at some length.
Well said she, TO which class
does skunk's oil belong?"
ITO both was the prompt rejoin-
der. It's essential to the skunk and
fixed on the man.

Quaint Auction eering Method.

The inhabitants of village in Sur.
rey, England, recently witnessed a
quaint medieval survival in the
sale by auction of local meadow.
Long ago, when the world was not so
busy as it is today, the landlord OF
the white brown meadow" at Bourne
bequeathed the meadow subject to an
auction sale which every now and
again adds to the gayety of this rural
population. At each bid boy sets
out to run to a given point and the
white brown meadow" is let to the
bidder whose offer is unchallenged
when the last boy returns.

The Red Hunting Coat.

The origin of the red coat is a mys-
terry. There is a story told that one
of the early Henrys was so enamored
with the sport of fox hunting as to
ordain it to be Il royal sport, and the
red coat was worn in consequence"
This, however, has been pointed at az
absurd, as in those days scarlet was
not a royal livery at all. One thing
there can be no doubt about, and that
is that the scarlet coat is very popular
for those who hunt regularly. And it
must be confessed that it adds pictur-
esQueness TO the scene. The question
of color seems to be very much n mat
ter of taste; it is looked upon as an
indication of social position. In the
abstract any one can don the pink, if
so desired, but it is considered out of
taste for anyone to adopt that color

James J. Hill. the railway king,
who is now in control of the Burling-
ton system, is credited with an ulti-
mate intention to displace the Adams
Express company and substitute his
own Great Northern Express COM
pany, which has been operating on
lines in the north for ten years.
The change is said to be due when
the present contract between the
adams company and the Burlington
Route expires" Officials of the
Adams company do not give full
credit to the rumor and say it is
founded only on the surmise that
because Mr.. Hill is in control of an
express company he will necessarily
enlarge it's field TO all the railway
lines i'm which he is Interested. Mr..
Hill is also credited with an inten-
ton of operating his own line of
sleeping cars ON the Burlington and
Great Northern systems and thereby
looping off some of the handsome
revenue derived by the Pullman com
Pany.
