Cresco known that he was not to

A co-r Of Fine sranDers,

AT the court Of Marie Antoinetre all
emotions and passions were yelled by
mask of politeness Even the children
were taught to speak With wit and tact
and courtesy and to bear pain in 81
lence. The little Due d'Angouleme,
eight years old; when the old Sanbrun
entered his presence unexpectedly,
said, touching the book in his hand:
"Ah, monsieur, I am in the company
Of Plutarch's men. You could not
come at moment more apropos." The
Count de Pallance, beheaded in his
tenth year, stood erect and calm in the
cart until he reached the guillotine.
The headsman lifted his long curls.
Monsieur" said the boy, with a bow
and a smile. The next moment his
head rolled in dust The man or wo-
man who showed any signs Of preten-
ton or self conceit was net received at
court. Profound Difference was shown
to women and to the aged. Well bred
men heard Of their own ruin with q
bonmot and went out to fight each
other to the death with such grace and
courtesy that the duel seemed sacra-
ment Of friendship.

The Smell.

It is the opinion Of the true gourmet
that Of all marine pan fish there is none
to compare with the smelt {Osmerus
mordax). This primary rank is its OWL
by reason Of its delicacy and delicious
favor, and when fried a light brown IN
very fine breadcrumbs and served with
melted butter there IS none that dis
putes its pre-emfnence. Its delightful
favor, however, as we'll as its peculiar
odor, is evanescent. Like the mackerel,
it cannot be too fresh. It is from its
odor thar the smelt derives not only its
familiar but Latin name, an odor so ag-
gressive OF sliced cucumbers that If its
presence be manifested only to the
sense Of smell people are cften deiuded
into such supposition. This odor is not
marked except in the freshly caught
fish and disappears in the cooking, CIV
ing place, however, to a fitting resur-
rection Of the smelt to an olfactory
sense still more savory and delightful

Lost q Railroad.

"a champagne dinner once cost st.
Joseph, Mo-, the Union Pacific rail-
road" said an old railroad official.
''The Union Pacific aid bill was up for
consideration in congress in the early
sixties. 1t fixed St. Joseph as the
eastern terminus Of the road. While
the bill was under consideration a ban
ouet was held at. st. Joseph. It was
attended by many Of the leading men
Of the town. After they had filled up
on champagne a question arose as to
which flag should float from the city
hall The Confederate flag was finally
decided on, and in the morning the
stars and stripes were hauled down
and the stars and bars hoisted. The
news reached Washington that very
day, while the Union Pacific bill was
still under consideration. Senator
Pomeroy moved that the name st. Jo-
seph, Mo, be stricken from the bill
and Omaha, Neb., be substitute The
amendment carried and St Goseph
thereby lost the Union Pacific. kan

Then the clerk explained that all
workmen employed in making slippers
Of light colors worked with white
gloves On.
.''Try to keep them clean!' he con-
tinued. II should say they did. They
try so hard that they change their
white gloves three times day. Which
IS not so fantastic as it may seem, for
if a shoemaker soils material Of this

Eumming Birds.

Scientifically humming birds are "to-
chilidae," and those who make a spe-
cial study Of them are 'uochilidists,"
although the birds are not Identical
with the old Greek "trochilus, or run
ner," bird, which, according to Herod-
otus, entered the jaws Of the Sleep
ing crocodile and obliged its big friend
by picking leeches from his throat. The
Spanish name for the humming bird Is
''tominejo,' meaning third Of a dram
and referring, Of course, to the BIRDS
minuteness But the prettiest names
are those, such as the French "frou-
frou," which refer to the humning
noise sometimes produced by the al
most incredibly rapid vibration Of the
wings. "Pu-ring with her wings" Is
the expression Of Thomas Morton
(16a2), the first English writer to men-
ton the humming bird.

The Great Air Whale.

The native inhabitants Of the FIJI
islands believe thunder TO be the bel
lowing Of the great air whale, myth
ical creature which, according to their
folklore stories, inhabits the opposite
side of all thunder clouds If the regu-
lation thunder cloud appears unaccom-
panied by the omipous rumblingS pc
culiar to such phenomena, they take it
as token that the Great Spirit is
pleased with their past doing. If, how
ever, on the other hand, the detonations
be frequent and violent they are sure
that the god Of the elements is dis
pleased and Immediately engage them
selves in all sorts Of ludicrous incanta-
tons for the purpose Of righting mat
ters. Lightning is to them the result
of the air whale gnashing his teeth to-
gether and thus striking fire. Another
popularity Of this primitive people lies
in the fact that they will not partake
Of food while a thunder cloud is in
sight. fearing that the air whale will
pounce upon and devour them for such
irreverence.

Speech and Intellect.

A man who has, by disease or injury,
lost tne raculty Of talking Is generally
also unable to write, and it is only in
exceptional cases that one Of these
functions persists while the other Is In
abeyance. Cases Of this latter kind
show, however, that there are really
two separate centers for the two fae-
ulties which are lying very close to-
gether and therefore generally suffer
at the same time. If the disease af-
fecting them be still more extensive
the faculty Of intelligent pantomime or
gesticuIation is likewise abolished. Per
sons who have entirely lost their Ian
guage may still be able to play chess,
backgammon and whist, and they have
been observed to cheat at cards with
some ingenuity. They may also be
sharp in business matters, facts tend
ing to show that speech and intellect
do not run in Identical grooves.

ma Truce Of God.

One Of the most curious Of the many
nueer medieval customs was that
known as 'sthe truce Of Cod" From
what we have been able to learn Of it
the custom appears to have originated
as an outgrowth of a desire to protect
the common people to some extent at
least against the )awless tyranny Of
the feudal lords Of the middle ages. It
was first decreed at church synod
which convened at Roussillon in the
year 1927. By this decree 1t was pro-
yided that no man should attack his
enemy between Saturday evening at
nones and Monday morning at the
hour of prime. About the year 1892 a
similar compact was entered into be-
tween the church and the barons OF
England. The church forbade barons
to make any attack upon each other
between sunset on Wednesday night
and sunrise on the following Monday
OF upon any feast or fast day. The
same truce made provision that no
man should be disturbed while labor
ing at bis trade or while going to Or
from a place Of worship.

The Struggles Of a Sculptor.

Augustin Rodin, the French sculptor,
had a great struggle with poverty and
adverse criticism II his youth. OF an
episode Of this early period writer
says: with that infexible will and
singleness Of purpose that never failed
him throughout his career the young
sculptor set himself to express in clay,
marble or bronze his conception Of life
and art. He used his leisure in work
ing at nighttime, In g. deserted stable
he had transformed into studio, at
his wonderful mask Of The Man With
the Broken Nose After eighteen
months Of hard and patient labor he
finished this mask and sent it to the
salon. It took the hanging committee
fourteen years to discover any merit
in the work, for it was rejected in 1884
and finally accepted only in 1878"

Carney jumped out Of bed and after
climbing on to a chair managed after
considerable trouble to force open the

King felt more than satisfied, as he

The Three Heaviest Men.

The three heaviest men Of whom any
mention Is made in history were Miles
Darden Of Tennessee, Lewis Cornelius
Of Pennsylvania and Daniel Lambert
Of England. Darden died in 1851
When In health he was seven feet six
inches in height and weighed oyer 1000
pounds. There is no record Of the date
Of the death Of Cornelius, which oc-
CURED in Pike county, Pa, but the ac-
count says that he was born IN 1884
When in his prime he measured eight
feet two inches around the waist, was
six feet tall and weighed 6451a pounds.
Daniel Lambert was an English freak
oe the early part Of the century and
died in June, 1900. he was Of average

The First Inquest.

The nearest approach to the holding
Of a judicial inquiry into the cause OF
death in England occurred as long ago
as the year 1900, when, according to an

twenty venerable persons were sum-
moned together to hear and consider
the testimony Of any who could speak
with authority regarding the death OF
a digger in the fields named Martin
BoIsoyer."
