The Paris Cafe.

The Paris restaurant reflects the con-
,ervatIye views Of the Frenchman. The
Partisan loves to sit on cushioned
benches along the wall and as like as
not enter into talk with his neighbor.
Again. the Partisan is true democrat.
Whatever his rank, he Is willing to join
in the fun going forward. t fefaehpsr
one night in the Cafe de Paris seeing d
Hungarian prince with a rent ron .,
scores Of thousands stalk up 10 Danu
of his countrymen and take the nrs'
violin from the hands OF the leaueI'
The next minute a score of well known
people were gathered before him. a
count sang a love song; ballet dancer
from the opera obliged us with re-
markable fandango; a sugar renher
gave us comic patter. Nobody cared
who his neighbor CHANGED to be. 1t was
good fun. That was sufficient.
Imagine a duke and On earl ana a
rich merchant amusing the supper
crowd at the Carlton or the Savoy!
Dec. .edly they do these things better
in France.-Paris Letter In London tx

1t is suggested by Louis Rabourdin, a
French writer, that In each of the new
stars that blaze forth in the heavens
from time to time we see the destruc-
ton Of celestial body by volcanic
cataclysm. At any rate, he says, II
part of the earth's crust underlying the
ocean should give way our earth would
doubtless present in succession to a
distant observer the same series or ap-
pearances that we witness in the case
of "nove," or new stars. First there
would be an outburst Of blazing hydro
gen from the sea water decomposed
by the earth's internal heat, then fu-
sion OF the whole crust, reducing the
globe again TO a molten state and then
the gradual extinction of its light ow-
ing to cooling. AS cooling would first
take place locally, we should have q
variable star, the darkened portions
being periodically brought into view
by the rotation Of the globe.-Success.

When a Dutch baby makes its arriv-
al, the fact Is announced by man
wearing a black coat and white tie
who is hired by the little ones parents
to go round to all their friends with
packets of sweets, which are appropri-
ately decorated with picture of ba-
by and an angel. The confection is
made Of aniseed and sugar. Rough
sweets signify the birth Of a boy,
smooth sweets that Of girl. The chill
dren of the families to whom they are
sent eat the sweets spread upon their

PEARL NECKLACES

Judgment and tact, almost any old sys-
tenn Is good though for an office position.
In taking notes 1t is well to bear in
mind that they are of no value unless
they can be read, and MS soon as a
stenographer discovers that a certain
outline is unintelllglble to her, no matter
what the system says. 1t should be
eliminated and n better invented BY
wise provision Of nature, even the
most rapid speaker must breathe, and
whilo he Is breathing much can be
written. That Is where the power OF
concentration and memory Is needed,
Almost every dictator Is inclined to
overwork some words, usually adjec-
tives, md 1t requires only n fair eluca-
ton to be able to substitute another
word. and oftentlmes such substitu-
tion makes letter less monotonous and
more Ineligible,
A liberal amount Of Judgment and tact
Is required to manage the vast army OF
dlctators who use bad English, who
cannot BIO reported verbatim, and are
rather sensitive on tho subject 1t Is
disastrous to ask them II they wish
their letters altered, Tho Idea fills them
