''MARSEILLAISE's" AUTHOR.
Facts About Frances Song Apropos of
a Statue to Its Writer.

Paris Correspondence Pail Mall Gazette.
One feels inclined to apologize for men
tionins another statue; nevertheless Rou-
get de Isle. the author of the Mar
seillaise," may well be an exception. Since
1886 his remains have lain in the cemetery
of Choisy Roi, the little town on the
Seine, where are the ruins of the chateau
lived in by Louise d'Orleans, known as
Mile. Montpensier. 1t was this great lady
who took part in the troubles of La Fronde.
For long time more worthy monument
than the simple stone that marks his rest
ing place has been demanded for De Lisle,
and at last the local conseil municipal has
been moved to vote the necessary credit.
A monoiithic column will be set up over
the grave, bearing his medallion. his title
to fame as the author of the national hymn,
a Tyre, crossed with sword. and finally the
score and words of the chorus of the Mar
Seillaise.'
Rouget de Lisle was engineer officer in'
the revolutionary army, with a taste for
rhyming. His productions were mediocre
enough until the inspiration came to him to
write the glowing and terrible strophes
with which his name will ever be associat-
ed by his compatriots. He composed the
song when he was in garrison at Strass-
bourg. 1t was first called the Chant pour
iArmee du Rim" and only took the name
of "Marseillaise' from the fact that the
federals from Marseiles made it first known
to Paris. De Lisle has the greatest reputa-
ton for courage and enthusiasm and to
him is always attributed the victory of the
ragged legions of France over the Prus-
slams at Falmy.
Notwithstanding the immense vogue of
this militant and defiant expression of the
feelings of his countrymen in those dread
full days, Rouget de Lise died in great
poverty. He retired from the army, where
no future seemed to await him. and went
to live at Choisy-le-Roi. He was much
broken in his last days. A tall. white
haired old man, clad in a long gray coat,
he wandered about the countryside, and
seemed in his appearance to recall nothing
of the high-spirited young man who wrote
Baron Blein. also an engineer officer, who
had fought side by side with De Lisle in the
first years of the revolution It is recorded
that Blein one day found the soldier-poet
making his meal off bread and water in de-
fault of better fare. 1t was only by the
exercise of his military authority, the
baron having held a superior rank, that he
was able to induce De Isle to dine moro
acceptably at his expense. There is also
the touching incident of De Lisle hearing
vaguely and afar off song on the lips Of
sailor. He listened intently. 1t was his
own "Marseilaise." That was thirty years
after he had written it, He felt greatly
cheered. A few days afterward he was
dead. The good people of Choisy-le-Roi
have not forgotten the man who claimed
their hospitality for so many years. They
have named after him the street where
he lived. and few years ago they set up a
commemoration plaque on the house-front

OF PUBLIC PRIVACY.
The Vision Should Not Be Offended by
Unsightly Advertisements.
From the Rochester Herald.

From the Rochester Herald.
Apropos of the movement for restrict
ing the of public space for advertis-
ing purposes, the New York Tribune
quotes Stephen Warrington of Ontario to
the effect that such advertising is moth
ing more nor less than indiscrimnate out
rage upon the public taste-"a violation OF
the public privacy" That is a good phrase.
by far the best definition We have yet seen
of the pernicious practice of plastering the
fair face of nature with unsightly adver-
tisements. 1t is high time that the public
bestirred itself to assert its right in the
matter and to preserve to itself, unmarried,
the beautiful stretches of country traVersed
by the railroads. Ii is time, too that the
railroads woke up to the effect of this abuse
upon the attractiyeness of travel over their
lines. OF what use is it to advertise pic
turesque scenery along the line OF a rail-
way, when the public knows that every
jutting rock and barn roof and fenceboard
will blare forth its i'll painted advice to
buy this. eat that and wear the other in
Vulnerable wares whose queer names litter
the landscape? The public wants to see
green fields, trees. hills. valleys and
streams when it rides in the cars; all the
advertisements 1t cares to read may be
found in the columns of the daily paper
it carries in its coat pocket.
Mr.. Warrington says so much that is to
the point of this matter that print with
pleasure the substance of his plant to the
Tribune man: There Is a growing recog-
milton of the fact that the public in cities
and along railroad lines has rights of a
purely aesthetic nature which the
most enterprisng are bound to respect A
farmer, for instance, sells some patent
medicine firm the right to make his barn
beacon on the road to recovery from. say.
indigestion. 1t is his barn. and the COM
pany's paint, and who's to say no? But
as has Of course been pointed out, it af-
fects the company and the farmer COM
paratively little. The people who ride daily
back and forth beyond that barn on the
railroad and have it craven into the con-
volutions of their brain that So-and-So's
pills are good for some ailment they never
have. or that What's-His-Name makes some
article Of food that disagrees with them
these people, who are manifestly most af-
fected, have no voice in the matter. A
right will probably assume form In the
course of time to protect the passengers
carried by railroads. 1t will have. some
thing the nature of the three mile from
shore territorial limit. and will give the
railroad or the state a surveillance along
either side of the route. But these mat
tiers Of positive annoyance, or Of absolute
Disagreement Of natural scenery. are al
ready far on their way toward achieving
popular attention"

Plots Against Louis Philippe.
From the Gentleman,s Magaxine.

Louis Philippe, king Of the French, after
experiencing several minor attempts on his
life, was nearly murdered July %, 1885. The
day was one of the three appointed to COM
memorate the revolution of 1880. The king
was. with three Of his sons, taking part in
procession, and while riding along the
boulevards q violent explosion issued from
window overlooking the line Of route
Happily. the king himself and the princes
escaped uninjured though fourteen per-
sons were killed outright and forty others
wounded. On investigation the discharge
was discovered to have come from a ma
chine constructed Of twenty-four musket
barrels, laid horizontally on q single frame
and SO adjusted as to be raised or lowered
according to the angle required. The
touchholes communicated by means Of a
train of gunpowder, and consequently all
the barrels could be discharged smulta-
neously. The window behind WHICH this
deadly contrivance was placed stood open.
but Persian blinds. not opened until the
moment Of discharge. screened it from the
public gaze. It Is probable that, owing to
some delay in removing the blinds the life
OF Louis Philippe was saved. He had
hardly passed when the explosion occurred,
actually wounding the horse he rode The
man who was guilty Of the outrage, Cor
sican named Fieschi, was seized and sub
seQuently guhlotined. Three more attempts
were made on the slife OF the same mon
arch. one, by the discharge of a walking
stick gun into his carriage June %, 1896;
another, at Fontainebleau, in April 1916:
while the third and final act OF the kind
may be recorded as having happened when
the king was standing on the balcony Of
the Tutlleries one day In June. 1916.

A Famous News Vender.

FROM the st. James Gazette.
King Edward once paid a sovereign for a
paper, though his hunger for news can
hardly have been desperate. The news
vender was Davy Stephens, the familiar
figure on Kingtown Pier who has sold
papers to passengers landing in Ireland for
half a century. Lord Rosebery has also
given "Davy" a sovereign for a copy of a
daily. and the Queen of Roumania was
equally generous. Dayy was at the pier
when Lord Wolseley returned from the
first Ashantee war with 'coffee-pot' on
his head, and the glimpse of the conquer
ing hero reminded Davy that on his de-
parture Lord Wolseley had handed him
half a sovereign and babe him a friendly
good-by. Bismarck, when he visited Ire
pers for his papers!
The famous newsman has grown to be
familiar with his great customers and his
wit Is never unappreciated. The Prince OF
Wales, who gave Davy half a sovereign,
was more amused than annoyed when
a sovereign himself" The Duke of Edin-
burgh was less extravagaut: he gave the
newsman 3-penny bit for his paper, which
Davy did not mind. seeing that an excited
and ultra-loyal Irish woman bought it from
him for 10 shiIlings. Mr.. Gladstone once
which Davy received as gratefully as the
sovereigns OF the richer men. Mr.. Morley,
too, belongs to Davy's silver friends and
the witty newsman Is on excellent terms
with the ex-chief secretry. 1t was from
Davy that Mr.. Morley more than once
learned his first Irish news on reaching the
Emerald Isle. Frequently Mr.. Morley would
say: whats the news, Davy?' and the
Irishman would say non-committally. IAN

How to Care for Parrots.


The well-known gray parrot is a most
satisfactory and popular pet. The male
and the female look exactly alike, and both
will talk. The female talks less. learning
fewer words and phrases but she pro-
nounces with great distinctness They are
capital mimics, and catch different tones OF
voice with nicely. In the very young gray
parrot the iris is black: In the older birds
1t Is yellow. The Iris Of the young birds
eyes change gradually; the eyes are daSk
for about seven months. As the gray par
rot Is long-lived and slowly reaches matu-
rity. the younger ones must be fed and
watched with special care. The only way
to care for very young parrot is to boil
the corn which is fed 1t and make it into
pulp putting it into the birds beak, or
letting 1t feed from the owners fingers, as
it would from the beaks of the parent
birds. The feeding OF young parrots must
be done frequently or they viii die OF star
walton. The gray parrot Is fed practically
like the Others, son, hemp, sunfiower seed,
Indian corn. fresh fruit and some nuts.
Almonds are not good for parrots; the bit
ter almonds make them Ill. Parsley is

STATISTICS OF CoURTsH1p
Some Mysteries on Which Science

From the London Express.
To foreign statistician the world Is in
debted for some very interesting data in
regard to the most approved methods of
courtship in civilized countries These data
were compiled from declarations Of love and
the statistician obtained the following fig

they could not live any longer without the
adored ones; 70 held the ladies' hands in a
tight grip; 60 kissed them on the lips. 10

Cod" and frankly admitted that they
were "inexpressibly happy
BY studying the conduct Of 100 men whose
suits were rejected the statistician obtained
the following equally interesting figures:
Forty Of them rushed in a frenzy out of the
room; 81 said that life henceforth had no
more value in their eyes, and that they
would commit suicide: IA became suddenly
tongue-tied and irrational; calmly re-
signed themselves to the Inevitable; s
