sheer In n Thenter.

An amusing scene occurred some
years ago In Paris theater during
the presentation of lie Pauvre Ber-
ger.'' It almost foil dat the first
night 1t was played. To give more ex-
actness to the scenery the machInist
determined to abandon the clay"
lambs and substitute real ones. Twen-
ty Fat and well toned sheep were
brought nnd drilled. at the rehears
ais the new stock company played
their parts admirably, md at the drst
performance they entered admirably
and formed an exquisiteIy past oral
group around their Corydon, whom
they saIutcd with most tunef:I bleat-
ings The house shook 70 It's fouslda-
lions with the loud applause. The ap-
plaure continued. nnd the sheep became
frightened and popped. some into the
stage boxes. some over the footlIghts
into the orclietty7i. and. of course, the
whole dock followed their leader. The
ladies Ia the st,tgc boxes shfIcscd, the
orchestra whoopcd ana hallOocl to PRE-
vent the sheep from tumbling on their
vtolIns, and the house roared. The
supernumeraries were throBn'oR after
them, but It was an hour before they
were caught The next day they were
sent to the shambles and lay sheep
introduced In their stead.

A child was brought to a Yorkshire
vicar for baptlsm. AS he was told
that the name was to be Noah, he nat
uralIy referred to the infant as the"
in the course OF the service. Soon he
felt his surplicO pulled by one Of the
women, who whispered to him that
''It was lass"
.cBut Noah is not girls name" said
the parsOn-
eyes, it IT," spoke up the chIid's IA
her.
An Adjournment was made to the
vestry to settle the point. The father
said that whenever he had a child to
be named he opened the Bible and
chose the first name of the proper sex
that met his eye, The clergyman IN
listed that in the present case a mis-
take had been made, whereupon the
father opened the Bible at Numbers
xvi, SO. and read. 1.-THE names Of the
daughters OF Zelophehad were Noah. i"
etc.
There was no more to be said.

Unfortunately good many men have
the conviction that they must keep
exertIng themselves all the time They
call every moment wasted which is
not spent in activity of some kind,
either physical or mental. Such men
are taking the quickest means TO burn
themselves out You cannot live well
and keep happy under constant and
tyrnnnical sense of EFFORT. There must
be times of play. times to let up the
tension and to DO easy and natural
things which don't require conscience
and exact attention. Horace Bushnell,
the great Connecticut minister, recog-
nized this when he said, Lets go sin
awhile" SHINING has the advantage
of being ensy. and there are times
when the easy thing is the right thing.
A man who takes no time Off for one
kind of play or another, but who keeps
the anxious. conscientious look on his
face day ia ana day out. may he on the
rond to hepvrn. but he will find that
thr itr,.-l:i Is n way statlon.-Dr.

our TrIrst st. Rernards.

There Is a possibility that General
Lafayette was the first person to send
any st. Bernards to this country
When he returned to the United States
in 1924 he apparently met ]. f. Skin
ner, who Mt one time was assistant
postmaster general and afterward edit
ed the American Farmer, Sporting
Magazine and other publications. At
one time he seemed to have been very
much Interested in getting good sheep
dogs, and in this he was aided by Cen
eral Lafayette, who, previous to 1880.
as near as we can judge, sent him two
French sheep dogs and Mt another time
sent two dogs which Mr.. skinner de-
scribed as "Pyrenean or st. Bernard
dogs and tells of the use made of them
ut the hospice. As Mr.. Skinner was
evidently getting sheep dogs, 1t is more
probable that these were Pyrenean
sheep dogs. Yet us he particularly
mentioned the French sheep dogs MS
having pointed faces, the others not
being so described were likely broader
faced and were hnlf breed dogs akin
to the st. BernarCis. There Is still an
other possibility that General Lafa-
yette may have known of the monks
getting outside crosses n few years be-
fore and may have stnted 1t in such a
way as to lead Mr. Skinner 10 assume
that they were one and the same breed
or bred the Same way and thus give
the dogs he received the double name.

A ranlouu french palace.

The Chateau de Rambouillet has a
history remote from the literary fad of
the eighteenth century which has made
the word RnmbOuillet significant of an
epoch of French culture. 1t was in
this chateau that Francis 1. breathed
his last and Charles x. was deserted
in his death. It is not generally
known, however, how Louis XVI. be-
came its proprietor. Until 1885 Ram
bouilIet belonged to the Due de Pen
they're, grandson OF Louis XIV. and
Nine. de BIOntespan. Louis XVI. wish
ed very much to possess 1t. This de
sire became fxed passion, which was
augmented by his dislike OF its own
er But one day he declared. The
possession of RambouIllet would be
the happiness OF my life" To which
the duke graciously replied: "God for
bid that 1 should be the cause of your
unhappinesa. Sire, Rambouillet is
yours on your own terms. The price
fixed was 100000 francs. OF which
8OOO, 600 were paid the next day in
gold from the royal treasury.
