I In her article on t'The Poor Chill
dren of Paris in Harper's Magazine
for January, Mrs. John Van Worst re-
counts a touching incident of a boy
thief who kept his word even when il
meant death:
among the prisoners whom the
Prussians were preparing one day to
shoot down on the bank of the Seine
where it flows near the Place de la
Concorde near the center of the city,
there was a notorious young good-for-
nothing. He accepted calmly his con-
domination, but asked permission to
absent himself for the space of an
hour He was fourteen years old.
Somewhere in Paris he had an old
grandmother. He wished to carry her
his only remaining possession, a silver
Watch=stolen, no doubt. With the
greatest difficulty some tender-hearted
officer obtained for him this permits
sion, which, considering the character
of the boy, was equivalent to a par
don. AS the clocks hand
completed the circle of sixty minutes,
the boy took his place again in the
ranks of the condemned. He had car
ried his watch to his grandmother.
He had kept his pledge of
honor. Against the deadly shower of
lead which swept from the PrusSian
guns, he barred a breast wherein there
was the tumuIt of wickedness and
heroiSm."

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is In
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient dis
infectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize it's value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take Of it the better; it is not a
drug at all. but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out Of the system.
Charcoal swe etens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
It absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels. It
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another. but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges: thew
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal, and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form or rather in
the form of large. pleasant tasting
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
The daily use Of these lozenges win

of the general health, better compIex-

Robinson Crusoe experience with Paris
for the scene instead of q cannibal is

Some time ago Henry James, in
speaking of Henry Harland's work,
made note of Harland's having used
somewhat the same situation in three
books; and literary gossipers, always
ready enough to unearth a squabble,
translated this comment into some
thing unfattering. Speaking recently
to a friend in New York in regard to
this, Mr.. James said; "In common
with all the world, I was admiring his
ability to make one situation serve him
thrice. It is as though there were a
red glass. a blue glass and a green
glass rearranged in various ways; and

is to be translated beyond apprecia-

about. The man who laughs aloud
at my little word of observation is a
silly donkey"
Booth Harrington, whose stories of
people and politics, In the Arena"
have just been brought out by Mcclure
Phillips, had many amusing experiences
during the campaign which preceded
his election about two years ago to the
lower house of the Indiana state legis-
lature. His campaign managers were
little afraid that he would prove too
much of an exquisite They were, much
disturbed lest his inclination to wear a
top hat and a frock coat, a dainty col
ored waistcoat and patent leather shoes
should antagonize the ''workingman's
vote" They harped on this point so
much that their candidate became some
what annoyed by it. One day, when at
tired in his best, he was out walking
through the poor section of the town
with a number of his campaign man
ayers. They CHANGED to pass a paint
