After the programme had been carried

was rush for places at the tables.
The tables were most artistically ar

THE SHIPS PURsER.
Some OF the Things That Make HIS
Life mt Times Burden


The lot of the purser Is anything but
a happy one. From his title one would
think that he had only to look after the
finance of the vessel, but in reality his
pffice. go conveniently and picturesque
ly situated ut .he top of the grand STAIR
case, is really as busy bureau as any
in Capel court or Wall street. IL Is no
doubt legitimate enough to expect the
purser to be quite au fat with the
monetary matters, to explain to the
Britisher the difference between a dol
lar and a crown or to the American
that the greenback is treated with
scorn and contumely in Europe, but
our American friends are par excel
lence the interrogators of the world,
and to them the purser is simply a
walking encyclopedia.
He is expected to tell them all about
the ship-thats right enough-but they
want to know all about the passengers
as well, who they are, where they have
come from and where they are going,
how much they are worth and any lit
tie titbit of news about their social life.
He is also asked about every hota, be-
ginning at Liverpool and ending at
Rome, the best shops whereat to pur-
chase different articles, who will give
the best discount for cash, where the
questioner's wife can best be rugged up
In European fashion and the most like
ly resort at which his daughter might
run across some impecunious scion of
British nobility. - Harry Furness in

A Remini.cence of Fanny KembIe

her husband, Pierce Butler, and speed

divorce trials reported in the law books.
In her youth she was remarkably beau

the personification of dazzling lowell
ness. She was noted for her keenness
of wit even in the days Of her old age.
Once when an impertinent street loun-

An Axsr.v.tins speech.

One of the wits of the parliament
house is said to have observed on the
occasion of Judge Deas' promotion to
the honor Of knighthood, ''The queen
may make George Deas a knight, but
no one will ever make him a gentle
man" Deas was quite able, however.
to hold his own. and he punished the
wits when they came to make theii
maiden speeches before him. 'Pris.
oner at the bar" he once said to an
unfortunate wretch ON whose behalf
an infant advocate had been feebly
urging "extenuating circumstances, "
everything that your counsel has said
In mitigation I consider to be an ag.
gravation of your offense."
