THE TROJAN HORSE TO DATE.
Classical Method Employed by TW3 Clever Parss1aa Thieves aM
 Their Business,

Even in these latter days an inte1h gent study of the ancient classics may prove 8 valuable asset to the eonsoi- entious student. That, at least, is what one gathers from the exploits of the pair of Parisian knights of the order of industry who stole dummy horse from saddler's shop, and proceeded to put it to the same use as the Greeks did the Wooden Horse of Troy, reports the London Graphic.
 The deceptive quadruped was placed on a handcart and wheeled to a house where an innocent concierge consented to take care of 1t for the night. Before morning one of the confederates had emerged from the interior of the horse, laid hands on such yaluables as he could find, and Fegained his hiding place-to be duly carted away by his friend.

A MAKER OF SAINTS.

The firm of RafH, in Paris, has been in existence for over century, but it IS only six years since NJ. Patheu, with whom M. Lecaron is associated, took over the businesa, says PeaFson's Mag azine.
 This making of saints" he said, Twas a business which, when decided to engage in industry, appealed to me most strongly. It is an industry for 9 man who is fond of frequenting the public libraries, who takes his pleas ure in boring over old books and docu- ments, who delights in research. Thus I do not know of anything that gives me greater pleasure than when l ana written to about some saint concern ing whom the customer can give me few if any details. One has to hunt up the particulars, the period in which he lived, the costumes of that period, to find out what were his special attri- butes, what was his martyrdom, if martyrdotn there was.
 ~Thas some time ago we received from priest in the south of France an order for a statue of St. Fris. I he'd never heard of such saint, nor does he figure in our cata logue, though that massive volume contains over 1S0 closely printed pages of the names of saints. We applied to priest who is Q great authority on this subject. and we learned that St. Frfs was cap tain of barbarians under the Roman denomination, and that he was mar tyred at the age of 20. This gave us the period, and the rest was easy.
 "Again, on another occasion, we were asked to make a statue of Ste. Anne, of whom we knew nothing but Elfat she was & widow. We had to find out everything else about her. But once we know the period our task be- comes easier. The period indicates the costume. Thus recently we had to make St. Maurice. We knew that he was a captain, that he was Roman, and we dressed him with the breast plate aud the helmet of Roman cap tain.o
