Danxer In Enamel.

Just now there is much alarm in
many establishments concerning kitch-
en- utensils. 1t is said that many Of
the enamel and porcelain lined goods
are dangerous on account Of certain
combinations with chemicals and acids
and heat which will produce melt
ing of the glazed substances and thus
introduce into the stomach poisons
resulting in appendicitis. 1t is a we'll
known fact that before the modern
kitchenware was introduced appendi-
citis was almost unknown, and people
ate just as many grapes and other
fruits and vegetables with seeds as 1T
present In Paris the restaurants and
many of the private kitchens are sub
jected to visitations from the health
authorities. and even the old fear of
being poisoned by food cooked in cop

The Bad Mistake Of an American In
an Effort to Point n
Moral in COrcn.

A capital story has been told by an
American missionary who lately ar
rived in London fTou COrea says an
exchange of that city. The difficulty
of learning the language of that coun-
try is increased enormously OWING TO
the large number OF words which With
a slight infection of the voire. are
used over and over again with an en-
tirely different meaning. The mist
sionary in qlr sion was preaching IN
some natives. ana assuring them that
unless they repented they would go 20
place of punishment. Amusement
ra,her than terror was written on the
faces of his oriental listeners. Why on
earth, If they rejected his advice and
refused to- repent. shoud they be dis
patched-to the local post office! ON
another occasion a lecture was de-
livered, in the course of which a beau.
tiful moral was being drawn from the
say career of the tiny butterfly which
was suddenly cut short i'm the clutches
Of the spider. The smile, however.
fell somewhat short OF its intended
meaning. and it was not until tho
laughter had subsidized that the lecturer
became aware that the victim which
had been flOundering amid the dainty
silkcn threads of the web was a donkey,
which in the COrcan language. IL 30
pears. is synonymous with butterfly.

CHAPTER XXXV.
A DAY OF MIRACLES.

The regent Of France kept his
promise 10 Law. and the latter in turn
fulfilled his prophecy to the regent.
The Banque Generate de Las ct Com
pagnie was seized upon by the public
debtor AMI creditor alike, as the one
new thing. and hence as the only sal
Nation. AS ever, ii pleased Paris to be
myatihed. In some way the rumov
spread about that Monsieur Las was
phlosophiQue; that the Banque Gen
eraie was founded upon philosophy. "
1t was cdtch-wo.d sufficient for the
time.
"Eive Jean Las. lie philosophe-
sieur Las, he who has saved France"
SO rang the cry of the shallow witted
people of an age splendid even in its
contradictions. And meantime the
new bank, crudely experimental as i.
was, flourished as though its master
spirit had indeed in his possession the
Philosopher stone, turning all things
to gold.
One day, shortly after the beginning
Ct that brilliant spectacular series OF
events destined so soon to make Paris
the Mecca of the world. there sat at
